Chapter 642
“So, it’s like this… Old man, I’m really Sanji.”
Somewhat embarrassed, but more helpless, Sanji explained his current appearance depressedly, while Zhepu, who was sitting across from the long dining table, just raised his eyes coldly: “Okay, you bastard. I knew it was you with a single mouth, so what did you want to do when you came to the old man’s shop with this group of pirates?”
“That’s right, your guts are too fat, and you dare to sabotage the princess’s engagement ceremony. Now you’re running back, are you trying to bring disaster to the restaurant, you bastard?”
The two chefs with their arms on one side also looked at Sanji with disdain, which suddenly made Sanji nameless: “Damn Paddy! You don’t think I can’t kick you just like I am now, right? “
“Ah? What did this lady say? I suggest you hurry up and find a so-called knight to marry. It’s shameful to stay here~”
The chef of Haishan Restaurant is someone who has been expelled from other places because of his bad temper. Naturally, his mouth will not be too clean, and although his mouth is unpleasant, it is not difficult to see that it is all to maintain the safety of the restaurant on the sea. After all, if Sanji If the identity of the wanted criminal is discovered, it is inevitable that the restaurant will be implicated.
“Shut up, this is my shop! If you want to fight, get out of here!”
With a sigh, Zhep’s long-term chef’s prestige was obviously not covered. Sanji and others, who had already exposed their arms and rolled up their sleeves, had to stop their actions, and then each snorted coldly as a temporary truce.
And Zhep’s eyes also turned, and then fell on Luffy opposite him. Because the other party was the captain, he could sit opposite Zhep, but obviously Luffy didn’t have the so-called aura consciousness, and he was still crazy now. Eat a plate of flesh and blood.
“You, Captain Straw Hat, it’s impossible for me to provide soldiers here in the restaurant. So, you might as well clarify your purpose. What are you here for?”
Staring at Luffy sharply, Zhep obviously won’t let his guard down because Luffy looks like an idiot, and now there is no Crick in the original book to help him build friendship points, so for Zhep, Luffy This alien pirate captain is undoubtedly an existence to watch out for.
“Ah? Oh, we’re going to find Nami, and let her turn Sanji and the others back. And then… I’m going to sea, because I’m going to be the Pirate King.”
As someone whose brain may be rubber, Luffy was obviously not frightened by Zhep’s eyes, but he happily stated his goal, which made Zhep’s expression froze for a while, and after confirming it. After the boy’s eyes did not waver, the former old pirate captain let out a sneer.
“Interesting, there has been a long time in the East China Sea where no one has the guts to say that. I don’t care if you can come back alive from the Queen’s hands, even if you run away right now, you won’t be able to get out of the sea. Not to mention Enter the Great Route and become the Pirate King!”
“There are no people who lead your ships on the sea. There is only one result of your going to sea, and that is to be buried at the bottom of the sea!”
(PS1: Well, it’s a bit rusty as expected~~ The feeling of coding~)
(PS2: Tsk~ It’s also a hassle to have too many characters and foreshadowings in the pirates. It’s not enough to not explain some tricks. Also, I wish everyone a happy Children’s Day~~)
the protagonist’s seat
As a captain, the most important talent is not actually fighting, nor anything else, but the ability to recognize the talents of seamen and give them the right place.
Knowing people and making good use of them is actually the truth. It’s just that most of the time in the world of pirates requires fighting, so this rule is not applicable to all pirates. Most pirates are more similar to robbers. It’s the right size to eat.
But if you are really a qualified captain, for example, you can have a captain of a pirate group that has been around for many years, then such a captain can definitely be very good at knowing people and making good use of them. Not to mention anything else, take the clown Bucky as an example. On the surface, this red-nosed clown has no imposing manner and style as a high-ranking powerhouse, but as long as you really look at his pirate group configuration, you will find that he looks like that. The pirate group that seems to be more like a circus is actually completely reasonable in terms of staffing.
Apart from Bucky, the most powerful ones are the animal trainer Mochi and the juggler Kabbage. The strengths of these two are actually similar, but Mochi is the deputy captain and Kabbage is the chief of staff. Although there is indeed a reason for the difference in resourcefulness between the two, the power and title of the deputy captain are obviously higher than those of the so-called chief of staff. Although Kabbage’s loyalty is indeed no problem, she is indeed a treacherous and despicable villain. It won’t change. In this regard, Mo Qi’s stupid personality is particularly comparative. Bucky may not have read any military books, but his experience as an old pirate still makes him very clear that the person closest to him must not be some despicable villain who likes to play tricks, even if ordinary pirates are basically nothing good Birds, but it’s better to have a stupid dude as the co-captain than a treacherous villain as the co-captain.
Naturally, Zhep, the old pirate who had also been on the great route and got out of his body, is also an absolutely qualified captain. He just glanced at Luffy’s group at this moment, and he could see that this little pirate group is currently the best. Achilles heel.
That is, the lack of navigators.
Let’s not talk about the captain’s ability to distinguish and appoint the crew. If the pirate group is regarded as a car, then the navigator is basically equivalent to the navigation system of this car, and a good navigator is equivalent to the navigation with complete information. You can easily check the route to any place, including informing some areas that need attention, and the driver only needs to be responsible for following the guide to drive the vehicle to the destination easily.
Of course, reaching the destination correctly is only the minimum requirement, and the more important thing is to prevent the driver from driving the car into the ditch. The navigators on the sea are almost similar to this. The purpose of surveying ocean currents and observing celestial phenomena is to identify the temper of the sea. After all, the biggest threat on the sea is nothing else, but the inexhaustible force of nature. When a violent storm comes, no matter how powerful humans are, they will only be ants in front of these astronomical phenomena.
In a vehicle without a proper navigation system, getting lost is a trivial matter, and it is not at all surprising to be driven into a ditch or fall into a pit. Although Zhep did see the seriousness in Luffy’s eyes, that’s what he still didn’t like about Luffy.
After all, in the original book, Luffy and Zoro were helped by Nami almost at the beginning of the adventure, and at present, the reason why they can come to Belmer is that the clown Bucky, who is acting together, has the most basic sailing knowledge. It was because the Bucky Pirates had navigators that they could leave Belmer and arrive at Cocoa West Village, and it was because Nuoqigao had also learned some sailing knowledge in the navy, but unfortunately she could not be regarded as a sailor after all. A true navigator is at most an experienced sailor who knows the route.
So she took Luffy and his party for a stroll in the East China Sea. If you plan to cross the Upside Down Mountain and enter the great route, don’t even think about it. Only real navigators can do it. arrive.
Nami, who was wearing a black cloak, looked at the scene in front of her with emotion. The last time she went to Alabasta was the Red Continent. This time, because she was with Robin, she naturally didn’t have that kind of convenience, but Robin’s The boat was obviously unusual. It was pulled by a huge tortoise, and it would be inappropriate to say it was a tortoise, because this guy could not only swim in the sea, but also swim quite smoothly.
“Crossing this upside-down mountain is the great route… and then following the guidance of the eternal pointer, it will not take long for us to reach Alabasta.”
Robin, who was driving the turtle ship, looked back worriedly. What worried her was nothing but the current situation.
That’s right, from the first sight of Nami, Robin could see that the other party is definitely not a character willing to be lonely, but she didn’t expect the other party to be so unrestrained, completely in a way similar to abandoning the country , and followed him here alone.
And all of this is because of the record about the ‘Pluto’.
In all fairness, Robin doesn’t have any fondness for ancient weapons. Her own character does not intend to take revenge on the world government. She just hopes to inherit the expectations of O’Hara scholars and interpret the historical texts hidden all over the world. It’s a pity that the world government’s severe measures against ancient history have forced her to become a devil’s daughter who can shake the foundation of the world in the eyes of others.
The reason why Pluto’s information was told to Nami instead of concealing it with false news like the original is because Robin understands that Nami and Crocodile are not the same. If the sand crocodile got the ancient weapon, it would definitely use it as the strongest weapon to fight in the Quartet.
But if it was Nami, although Robin wasn’t sure, she felt that the news told the other party that there shouldn’t be any big disaster. After all, she has also studied Nami’s family history in depth because of curiosity, and the conclusion is that she thinks Nami is quite restrained.
That’s right, when it comes to the actual practice, selling weapons and selling arms is not much better than those pirates who rob and kill. But Nami’s restraint is that she does not allow such vile weapons as Xia Lan to be sold in ordinary waters such as the East China Sea. Except for the few that were first used as publicity, all the rest of Xia Lan were sold as important goods to the forces of the new world. Even, because of Nami’s unconditional trust in her, Robin can easily figure out what the so-called East China Sea Special Investigation Department is doing here, whether it’s seizing blacksmiths and navigators, or catching those wandering pirates in private, These methods are without exception to stabilize this sea area.
Therefore, the wise Robin quickly determined that the Queen of the East China Sea is indeed worthy of a hero, but she has a solid basis for advancing and retreating, neither taking risks but not wasting opportunities, and her methods are all for the sake of Safe and peaceful. Such a person, even if he finds the ancient weapon Pluto, will definitely not use it as a weapon to kill innocent people. If such a person obtained ancient weapons, he should have done much better than the sand crocodile anyway.
As for Nami, who is not in the mood to guess what Robin is thinking, she is watching a spectacle that is impossible in reality, and that is this upside-down mountain. This is the only way to enter the great route. The five weird routes just connect the four sea areas in the south, south and northwest, but only one end leads to the great route, which means that it is only responsible for sending all ships into the great route from a fixed direction. , if you want to complete the so-called world tour, you have to sail around the planet in this belt-shaped sea area. That’s all, what’s especially weird is that the four air routes inside it, that is, the air routes connecting the four sea areas in the south, south, north and west, the water flow inside it is rushing from bottom to top, and it is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the world government, it has been Such a natural wonder.
For those in this world, such a natural wonder might just be a natural wonder, but for Nami, who was already skeptical, she sighed silently after careful observation: If these four shipping lanes are not If it was artificially designed using the siphon principle, then her knowledge would be in vain. What’s more, the columns that were silent like guards around the waterway proved once again that these waterways were also artificial products.
In short, this upside-down mountain can already be determined to be a route specially built by a certain force, using the ocean currents in the four sea areas to design an upward current similar to the siphon principle, and finally put the ships in these four sea areas along the route. The waterway below was sent into the Great Route. Although it had long been considered suspicious whether it was the Great Route or the windless zone, after it was really discovered that the Upside Down Mountain was a man-made product, an unstoppable haze still shrouded Nami’s heart.
Nami’s thirst for knowledge is not too strong, but she can’t help but want to get the most clear on matters related to herself. After all, the information revealed by the blood drop stone is very clear. The blood-powered person is probably the direct foreman in charge of ‘constructing’ this area, but what Nami can’t imagine is the ability to build such a natural wonder. Although the blood-blood fruit’s ability is powerful, but Weirdness is weirdness, and it has absolutely no ability to shape products other than flesh and blood.
Judging from the strong currents she saw, even the most advanced technology in reality would never be able to create such a strait project. How was it done in that era eight hundred years ago? Even with Franky’s technology that can transform people, it is impossible to create an upside-down mountain in this environment.
Naturally, if this kind of spectacle wants to appear, it can only focus on the special ability of this world – the devil fruit.
But the contradiction is here. If these projects are really shaped by the ability of the devil fruit, then no matter how you look at it, the foreman should be the devil fruit person himself. The person in charge of this matter is the blood and blood fruit ability person of the previous generation. But the blood and blood fruit is a special superhuman type that has absolutely no control over dead things, which makes the answer completely shrouded in a fog that cannot be seen through.
Nami Yinyin can perceive that she does not seem to have tapped all the characteristics of the blood-blood fruit, but she has determined that the blood-blood fruit cannot obtain other devil fruit abilities by sucking blood. She has done many experiments before, and she can still Sip Robin or Luffy’s blood without limit, but even if this blood is absorbed by her, it will be assimilated by her body immediately, and it will not be able to show the power of the devil fruit inside.
In this way, is the so-called previous generation capable person in charge of construction really just an overseer in charge of monitoring?
Nami, who couldn’t think of a reason, shook her head irritably, and put the question she couldn’t understand to the back of her mind again. Seeing her come back to her senses, Robin in front also sighed faintly, and then asked in a low voice again, “Are you serious? Crocodile is definitely not an easy person to deal with.”
“Ah, I know this very well.”
Subconsciously tightening the black silk glove on her right hand, Nami took a deep breath, and a belligerent smile appeared on her face.
“However, my eloquence has always been good, so I think Mr. Sand Crocodile will agree to my request~”
“For example, give me the role of the protagonist in this scene~!”
(PS1: Hmm~ I’m really unfamiliar… I’m not done until now… Come on, I’m going to sleep until eleven o’clock…)
(PS2: General Talent of Chen Family Daughter: Battle Cry, replace your BOSS~)
No lower limit (1)
As the old lair of Crocodile, although the port city named Rainland still belongs to the area of Alabasta in name, it is actually an area where the sand crocodile only counts, and there is no need to turn it over to King Cobra. Half a Berry’s tax can be explained, and on the surface, Crocodile humbly gave up most of the city and only built a casino called Rain Feast for himself as a place to live. Therefore, this loftiness has made many citizens full of praise for it, and even King Cobra has to praise the excellent character of the king Qiwuhai in public.
But in fact, Yudi is the birthplace and real home of the Baroque Work Society. As an underground organization with footprints almost all over the four seas, there are a total of twelve senior agents in it. The naming rules are number + Mr, number The closer it is to 0, the higher the status of the agent, the stronger the strength, and each male agent has a female partner. Sand Crocodile is naturally the undisputed Mr0, and Robin is his partner.
And under these agents with numbers, there are 200 high-level soldiers known as billionaires, and 1,800 low-level soldiers called millionaires. Of course, these are the numbers in the original book. At present, Sand Crocodile has greatly increased its financial strength because it has climbed up Nami’s business channel. It is more than enough to double the military strength of his subordinates.
“Oh~ it’s been a long time, Her Majesty. It happened to be the fireworks stage that I planned to start recently. Are you here to watch the ceremony?”
