Countless tourists came and went on the island, where people were feasting, singing and dancing, with smiles on their faces.
This is a small island for vacation. The island is not big, but it has an endless stream of tourists.
In a corner of the island, in a large holiday villa, two men wearing cropped flower pants were lying leisurely on beach chairs.
"Ford, what's wrong? It's out of stock again?"
The man named Ford was tall and had a sinister smile.
"Goods? I should ask you this, Samoyed. You use the goods too quickly. As I said, using this thing too much is not good for anyone."
Samoyed chuckled, "It's not good for anyone? Not necessarily. If you don't tell secrets, I'll take all the goods you have."
Ford gave Samoyed a cold look.
"You're crazy."
"..." Samoyed paused and said slowly, "I'm not crazy. I'm more sane than anyone else. As long as you use this thing, you will definitely not have a good reputation in the future. Even those monsters don't want to touch this thing. I'm not that kind yet." stupid."
Finally Ford became a little confused, "Did you buy a lot of this stuff? Could it be that you used it for charity?"
"Charity?" Samoyed thought for a moment and then laughed. "I like this statement. I am a big philanthropist!~"
"..."
Ford gave him a cold look. If he hadn't known how terrifying the man behind this guy was, he would have wanted to kill him.
Charity, yes, the act of smashing other people's bowls first and then delivering the porridge can indeed be regarded as charity.
Although he didn't know what he was doing now, Ford's instinct told him not to get too involved.
After thinking about it, he still accepted the order. "The goods may have to wait. The raw materials for making this thing are a bit biased. I don't have much on hand right now. I haven't replenished the goods since you bought them last time." ."
Samoyed puffed out a smoke ring lightly and said, "It's okay. There are many places where I can show my kindness. How can we, the disciples of the God of Fortune, be so loving? Hahahaha!"
…
Over the East China Sea, Yuyuko and his party, who were looking for Visalia, did not choose to go directly to Mount Levis after leaving Rogge Town. Instead, they turned back and followed the windless belt to the interior of the East China Sea.
In order to catch up, a ship flew in the air for seven consecutive days, and finally saw an island with a circular rainbow floating on top of it 10,000 meters above the sky.
Visalia, also known as the Little Sky Island. It is a small, movable sky island and a gathering place for meteorological researchers who are absolutely neutral in the world.
The flying Great White easily climbed a corner of Visalia.
Yuyuko and his party successfully settled in Visalia easily.
There are almost all old people here. The young scholars are either not knowledgeable enough and still practicing all over the world, or they can run faster than the old guys like them. However, these old men who were focused on academics and lacked scheming looked at a group of girls who were dancing and dancing. There was no change at all, and they continued to watch with cold eyes.
What's good about girls is that the rainbow isn't gorgeous enough or the secrets in the thunderclouds have been explored. They are nothing but eye-catching.
Of course, they were not without a little excitement, but what a group of old scholars liked after all was their ocean of knowledge. They simply asked Yuyuko and his group some simple questions and then ignored them.
As for learning meteorology knowledge, a group of people were met with disappointment.
Visalia is not a charity. Even if their research results are published in newspapers, they will only tell a general outline. They will only store the specific content silently and not publicize it too much. Their results are not scientific research as much as A group of explorers in meteorology who find new things and hide them.
Although they like children who like meteorology, they also like the kind of people who are willing to really devote themselves to it.
As for Yuyuko and the others, none of them particularly liked meteorology, and they learned it because navigation requires such a skill.
Fortunately, a scholar finally took them to his residence.
After pouring some black tea, Harida sighed slowly.
Looking at the girls surrounding him, looking at their eyes staring straight at him, he suddenly lost track of the one hundred and eighty-eight words that had just passed through his mind.
"Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it, we will listen." Mina said kindly.
Qishi quickly followed up, "Yes, yes, if you have anything to say, just say it and don't be polite."
Harley was speechless for a while.
Am I being rude? The problem is that I don’t know what to say. Think about what you usually say first when you meet a friend.
'Ah, the weather is nice today~'
'Yes, yes, this rare thundercloud is of great observation value. '
Saying this kind of thing in your own circle has a different flavor, but say it out there. Even if he is not a fool.
"...Let's have tea." Harida, who had no idea what to say, chose to remain silent.
While Haleda was silent, Youyuko was thinking.
She originally thought that Visalia would be a warm and hospitable place. After all, Nami, who was flown by a bear in the comics, easily integrated into the circle of scholars here. However, she did not expect that the academic atmosphere here is actually very academic. It was seen that he was not a member of the circle. Only Keya, who has learned a bit, is better. However, it only received a barely acceptable rating.
These are some subtle differences.
The content of the comics is to serve the plot, so it won't be too bad for Wang Lufei's people to go wherever they go, but the real world actually doesn't have that many links to reduce intelligence.
But the knowledge of Visalia must be learned.
Different from ocean navigation, high-altitude navigation is more dangerous to a certain extent. You can swim in the sea, but few people can fly in the air. Some of the emergency equipment prepared on the ship are only prepared for safe landing under special circumstances.
And Visalia, who has this knowledge floating in the air every day, has rich experience, and they can even control the wind to help Visalia go to a place suitable for observing the climate.
They also have a small boat that can facilitate air flight, which can just make up for the problem that everyone does not have small air vehicles.
Overall, Visalia is indispensable for Yuyuko who wants to travel by air.
"Actually, it's not impossible for you to learn meteorology." Harida suddenly said. "We do not exclude outsiders from learning, but we hate that those who learn do not cherish the preciousness of this knowledge at all. It is extremely excessive in our opinion to teach your precious knowledge to people who do not know how to cherish it." "So. If you want to learn, show your attitude first."
"But how do we express our sincerity?" Kena asked slowly.
Haleda smiled slightly, "There is no hard and fast statement about this. Let's go. Our next destination is a place called the Kingdom of Peart. There has been an abnormal climate anomaly there recently. We are just trying to investigate. Since If you want to show your sincerity, just find something during this investigation. In this case, they will definitely not be dissatisfied."
"Okay, let's do it!" Youyouzi happily agreed with a raised brow.
Abnormal weather conditions are very interesting to hear.
After all, the East China Sea is not a great sea route. Under normal circumstances, the climate in every place in the East China Sea is very stable. If there are any climate abnormalities, there will definitely be situations.
Youyouzi could already imagine that there must be a conspiracy.
It's time to show off your crime-solving skills after appreciating more than 600 episodes of Shinigami Elementary School.
"Hahaha, this couldn't be better." Harida was very satisfied with Yuyouzi's attitude. Youyouzi looked as happy as the children he saw who were eager to learn.
The chatter box was opened, and Hareda probably found the rhythm of talking to a group of people. The conversations among several people gradually became more cheerful and full of laughter.
In fact, Haleda is a relatively prestigious scholar in Visalia. If he is willing to directly start teaching Yuyuko and the others, it is not impossible. According to his prestige, the scholars on the island will not say much.
There is an unwritten rule in academic circles: just listen to what the boss says.
And Hareda is actually such a big boss. But he didn't want to do that.
Yuyuko and the others are not the kind of people who love meteorology. He has to tell them that there are some things that require some effort to obtain.
After talking for a while, Haleda saw that it was still early and took a few people out of the room to look around.
Although Visalia is a miniature island, its area is actually not that small. The entire island is about the size of the central area of Amazon Lily. There are many windmills standing on the island, and the private residences of scholars are everywhere around it. , the periphery is mostly fields used to grow weather bulbs, while in the center is a research center where scholars gather.
After wandering around for a while, Harida brought several people to the bottom floor of the center of the island.
Balloon terminal.
It is a place where scholars communicate with the ground, and many weather ships are stored there.
At this time, there are still several meteorologists here preparing to sail out for inspection.
A scholar guarding the weather ship saw Hareda and came up to him, "Hey, Hareda, why are you free to come here today? Oh, what's going on with these girls? When did we have so many girls in Visalia!" "And I'm on duty guarding the dock today."
"Hehehe, they flew here by boat from the sky ~ Tarot Roshi"
"Is that so? It's really rare for guests to come from the sky~" Tataro said with a smile on his face. "And they are also cute girls." "Hareda, what are you doing here?" Is this going to go down?"
"Just showing them around."
Nanshi's eyes lit up when he saw the weather ships flying in the sky. "Hey, hey, captain, isn't this the small flying ship we are looking for?"
Although the others didn't say anything, the anticipation in their eyes was real.
After all, except for Yuyuko, Mina, and Yongkeya who could fly while flying in the air, everyone else could only watch. Those days were extremely boring.
You must know that although the scenery in the sky is also very beautiful, if you look at it every day, it is actually no different from the sea. If you drive on the sea, you can also fish and so on. If you are in the air, you have no choice but to watch the scenery.
"I'm so envious of flying. It's obvious that I'm in the sky." Yanan said with excitement, her eyes shining. "As long as there is such a ship, as long as there is such a ship, we can also fly out and play."
Kona was speechless, "Can you only think of using this to go out and play?  ̄へ ̄"
"Isn't this thing just for fun?" Yanan tilted her head (•_•)?.
Kona:......
Just use it as a toy to play with...
…
The small island of Kekexili in the North Sea was once a stronghold of powerful pirates, but a group of powerful pirates entered here three years ago. Since then, the winds of Kekexili Island have changed.
The big pirate Moxxi who originally commanded this place soon died, and was replaced by a group of powerful pirates called the True Men. Its captain Dale was simply not alone. Not only could he kill people thousands of miles away, he was also very capable in close combat. Strong, able to dodge any attack in advance.
He always said something with unclear meaning on his lips.
'A real man must be as powerful and dazzling as the five adults! '
The pirates on Xili Island didn't know who the five adults were, and they didn't have time to explore them, because they soon faced the nightmare of "Quotations of the Wind Leader" brought by the True Man Pirates. middle.
Today is another sunny day, perfect for making your muscles darker. Under such sunshine, Dell would not miss the opportunity to exercise his muscles to make himself stronger, and exercise his armed domineering force.
He had already awakened his Haki, which he had awakened after he was so nervous that he was pushed to the limit by a very fast fruit ability user during a conflict with pirates in the North Sea. This is also the reason why he was able to leave Master Wusefeng and expand his business alone.
In the words of Lord Wusefeng, 'Dale, you are already a mature captain and need to go out and find your own food. '
By the way, haven’t they always been responsible for the food...
"Brother Dale, there is new information from Lord Bai Feng." A pirate who came from the East China Sea with Dale and suffered hardships ran over holding the phone bug.
Dell wiped the sweat from his forehead. He still had the same split hair as before, but he had a different temperament. Now he is no longer the sissy Dell he used to be. Now he is a real man.
Since he is a man, he naturally speaks in a more forceful tone, "Why are you panicking? You still haven't learned to be calm at all after so many years."
"I'm sorry, but Captain Dale, this is the first message from Lord Bai Feng in the past few years!"
"Okay~ Got it, give me the phone bug."
After answering the phone, Dell took a breath and answered the call. "Master Bai Feng, it's been a long time since I heard your teachings~"
"You're still alive~"
"..."
How to answer this?
Why haven't I seen Mr. Bai Feng always asking questions about life and death every time he opens his mouth for several years?
On the other side of the phone worm, Locke sat on the bow of the boat and took a puff of cigarette while looking at the sea in the distance. Behind him was a bloody pirate ship that looked like hell. The corpses of various pirates were piled everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the ship.
"Oh, don't worry. The situation here in Xihai is a bit complicated. Many comrades have died recently. I'm used to saying this."
Dell trembled for a moment, why did these words sound so permeating~
Dale was a little lucky that he didn't go to the West Sea to expand his business with Master Wu Seifeng, but chose to stay in Beihai. And he did not expand his business particularly aggressively but chose a safe farming path.
Now it seems that his choice is correct. With his weak strength, if he follows Lord Wusefeng to the West Sea, he may not know when he will get the benefits.
"But fortunately, these guys have been killed by me recently and are a little scared." Then he mentioned the situation in Xihai.
There are many gangs, strong men emerge in large numbers, a large number of people with fruit abilities, a powerful navy, some New World pirates who came from the great route, even the North Sea, which is also dependent on the New World like the West Sea, is somewhat because of the unification of the Vinsmoke family. There is a different kind of stability, and Xihai...
In short, the environment in the West Sea is much more complex than the other three seas. It can only be said that it is indeed the strongest sea among the four seas. The water is really deep.
…
Dell felt like he could feel Master Bai Feng's blood through the phone bug. How many people must have been killed~
Don't say anything, just shake for a while before talking.
"Oh, by the way, I told you something irrelevant."
Locke remembered his purpose of finding this kid from Beihai and smiled as he picked up the reward order in his hand.
Although the face on the reward order was somewhat different after several years of baptism, Locke could recognize it at a glance.
"Dale, get ready, it's almost time."
Dale's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Are we going to see it? When we do that?"
Locke nodded slightly, "Yes, but before that, tell me what the last sentence on the third page of "Quotations of the Wind Leader" is about?"
Dale “…”
Although he was speechless, Dell still said honestly, "Go in quietly and don't let anyone shoot you!"
"Hmm~" Locke nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that you have not been idle these years. Remember this sentence. If you remember it, go to the Grand Route. Keeping a low profile is still our main program now."
"Uh...Okay boss! I understand, boss! I will do whatever you say, boss!" After saying this, Dell was actually extremely speechless.
Brother, you are all going crazy in the West Sea, aren't you? How can you keep a low profile when you go to the Grand Line~
Dale put down the phone and took a deep breath.
The great sea route~
In the past, he had never thought that he would one day take risks there. He knew his own strength. Before experiencing the temper of the Red Earth Continent, he was just a sharpshooter with accurate marksmanship. In fact, he was extremely weak, but now He already had the confidence to save his life on that great waterway filled with monsters.
The business in Beihai has already been opened up. He has always been worried about causing trouble and even asked many of his younger brothers to develop some tourist islands. With strong strength and security, his career will naturally be stable. Beihai has also known for a long time that Beihai has a powerful sharpshooter, and his development direction has never touched those guys in the dark, so Dell's calmness in Beihai these past few years is terrifying.
Many people even rumored that Dale was a businessman wearing a pirate coat.
"Go and call Aba for me. We are going to go to sea."
Aba is the most suitable talent for management that Dell has discovered over the years, but he is not suitable to follow him out to sea, so Dell has always regarded him as his helmsman to stabilize the North Sea after he goes out to sea. In the past year, he has been able to handle it very maturely and steadily. All kinds of things.
"Going to sea? Brother, are we going to develop that island again this time?"
"Developing a small island? You can forget about that now. Leave this to Aba. Get ready. We are going to visit the Grand Route."
"What, are you finally setting off?" The younger brother's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he ran to call Aba.
Looking at his younger brother Dell who ran out happily, he shook his head, and looked at the familiar Kosia Island and couldn't help but smile, "It's time to say goodbye."
