Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 265 Ice Sea Road, Pirate Flag Crisis 3
The Qianyang was still circling among the icebergs, unable to leave this seemingly small but maze-like sea area.

Sauron had been kindly released from the illusion by Encore, but his expression seemed to be as tragic as he had been tortured for thousands of centuries, and he lay upright on the lawn deck motionless.

Franky and Usopp watched in horror, they were able to toss the fearless swordsman into such a state, what exactly did Encore do...

But knowing that this is not something they can ask (if asking encore makes them feel the same, it will be miserable), so I bowed three times to the swordsman who was out of his body, and then returned to the bow decisively .

At this time, the people at the bow also discovered the secret that they could not get around this sea area, that is, no matter how they moved forward, those icebergs seemed to block them consciously, making them keep circling there .

"Icebergs are moving??" Upon hearing this information, Usopp was in disbelief, "But isn't it natural for icebergs to move forward with the ocean current?"

Glancing at the normal icebergs on both sides of the river, Robin asked speculatively, "Could it mean something else?"

"Yes, the iceberg is not moving with the current, but moving consciously." The navigator looked confident, while the cook kept nodding in agreement with the beauty's words.

"Conscious movement??" Franky was full of disbelief, "What are you talking about in your sleep early in the morning?

"Huh~~", Nami, who is very confident in this conclusion, raised her chin proudly, then waved her hand at the nympho beside her, "Sanji-kun, please~~"

"Yes~~~~", the eager cook immediately turned the steering wheel of the rudder smartly, and turned the bow of the boat to the river on the left.

Just when everyone was looking at the spacious river ahead, two huge icebergs suddenly moved out from both sides and blocked the direction of the Qianyang. That rapid speed could not be due to the operation of ocean currents.

Seeing this, everyone on the ship widened their eyes, except of course the swordsman who was in a daze, the vice-captain who was staring at the water at the bottom of the iceberg, and the navigator who had already guessed.

"One more time!!", Sanji immediately turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction, and the Thousand Sun turned to the right, avoiding the iceberg in front of him.

But this time, an iceberg with a length of more than 50 meters and a height of more than ten meters blocked the river they planned to pass at a faster speed, and blocked them.

"I don't like uncute things very much~~", Anke suddenly said something in disgust, grabbed the snow leopard's fur and lay down lazily, at the same time lazily said: "Zoro, I'm in the way. chopped."

"What's in the way?!", the swordsman who had finally woken up was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Hearing this, he immediately jumped up and drew out his demon sword, Gui Che, and rushed forward, "Where?!"

"Ahead." Everyone at the bow pointed to the iceberg.

"Hmph! It's just a piece of broken ice!" Sauron, who rushed over quickly, stepped on the bow of the boat and jumped up. He swung his knife at the iceberg and jumped onto it, and then tapped the ice surface with the tip of the knife.

With a sound of "sizzling", the iceberg cracked from the middle, the cross section was smooth and straight, and it receded obliquely along the ocean current with a "crash", revealing a passage.Because of the cracking of the iceberg, the waves surged and hit the Qianyang, shaking continuously and retreating a little.

Everyone who knew Sauron's high swordsmanship was not surprised, but trembled because of the cold wind blowing on their faces.

Usopp hugged himself tremblingly, he didn't know whether it was because of the moving iceberg or the cold, "It seems that the iceberg is really blocking us from moving..."

"But the iceberg looks normal," Robin frowned slightly, then looked at Enke who was lying on the snow leopard, "Miss Anke, what do you think?"

"There's a nasty little thing under the iceberg, it's not cute, I don't like it..." Anke hugged the warm body of the snow leopard, looked at Robin with his face, and the number in his left eye had changed into Got 'three'.

"Something?" Nami raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then analyzed with her chin propped up, "Could it be a trap? Besides, yesterday's warship is also strange..."

"There were no warships yesterday, it was just a prank by dozens of boring people, but you ran too fast, I didn't have time to say it..." Sitting upright on the snow leopard, Encore rubbed his gloved hands, innocent There is nothing wrong with the face.

"Prank??", except for her and Robin who was calmer, Sanji and the others all stared at her in disbelief. After all, yesterday they were terrified by at least a few hundred warships!And this little guy actually said it was just a prank.

"Well, I didn't bother to say it after seeing that you all ran out~" Anke smiled without apologizing, then put on the cloak hat, and began to count the fluff on the edge of the hat boringly.

"...", seeing her like this, everyone could only sigh.

But at this time, none of them noticed that Sauron, who had jumped to the iceberg, went farther and farther, and unknowingly deviated from the normal track.

Nami looked at the surrounding icebergs, frowned slightly and said, "Since it's a prank, then you can be sure, there must be some guys who want to bring us here. Then use those little things Encore said to lure us Trapped here."

"It can only be said that they are so courageous!" Franky made a left lunge, putting his arms together in his unique pose, "Let's have a big fight!"

"But we have to find them before that." Nami nodded, then looked at Enke who was bored there, "Anke, can you help me?"

"Hehe, it wouldn't be fun if you could find the enemy instantly in every adventure~~" Enke, who didn't plan to make a move, just tilted his head and smiled mysteriously, "Just let it be, I won't do it this time." Will use domineering~~"

"Indeed, it's so exciting~~", Franky changed to a right lunge, and continued to shout with full of fighting spirit: "SUPER~~~~~~~~~"

"However, for the safety of your cutie, let me protect you this time~~" After Sanji finished speaking like a knight, he immediately ventured to the two beauties, "Miss Nami and Miss Robin are also , if you are in danger, throw yourself into my arms~~~"

"Boom!", the sound of impact came from behind, immediately interrupting Sanji's nympho, allowing him to concentrate on sailing the boat.After Frankie lowered his head and thought for a while, he turned and walked down the deck.

Robin looked back and found two huge icebergs blocking the passage behind them. He said flatly: "The icebergs are blocking our way back. It seems that they really want to lead us somewhere."

"Be careful, I heard the sound." Anke suddenly warned, and drove the leopard to the ship's side to look at the calm sea at the moment.

………… At the same time, Luffy’s side………………

Over there, Jiro, who had finally recovered from Pazzeloo's words, suppressed the tears in his eyes, bent down to pick up the heavy iron chain at his feet, dragged it and gritted his teeth and walked in front of him.

"What, Captain. I don't agree with your statement..." Standing one meter away from him, Ji Luo slammed the chain in his hand on the ground, and then stepped forward to grab his trouser leg, He choked up and said, "Fanner, what should we do with the flag that was taken away..."

Pazzelu didn't look at the boy crying at his feet, but still looked at the distant sky, "We don't need the Pirate Flag anymore..."

"Damn! Have you lost even your pride?" Ji Luo knelt down slowly, and the tears that were in his eyes finally fell.

After watching them quietly for a while, Luffy just turned and left.

"Luffy?" After looking at the captain suspiciously, Chopper immediately jogged to keep up.

"Wait a minute!" Pazzelu yelled to stop the two who were about to leave, "I want to thank you for saving me, but I lost everything in the new world. There, the new world...is not as naive as you think place……"

"It's okay, you'll know when you get there." Luffy stopped walking up the stairs, his face was full of confidence, and then he turned around and said with a smile: "Besides, we are very strong!"

Hearing these words, Pazzel widened his eyes.Once upon a time, he had said similar ignorant words to that man, but the result was the death of his partner and the humiliation of the Pirates.

"Really, whatever you want." Lowering his head, Pazzelu turned around and walked into the cabin without saying another word.

"Captain!" Ji Luo, full of tears, worriedly chased after him, but accidentally tripped over the heavy iron chain on the ground and fell directly to the ground.It's a pity that Pazzelu didn't look back, only other partners helped him up.Finally, Jiro, who couldn't bear it anymore, burst into tears, and kept reaching out to wipe away the tears left behind.

Chopper looked worriedly at the crying boy, "Jiro."

Luffy just reached out and pressed the straw hat, then lowered the brim of the hat, and said expressionlessly, "Let's go, Chopper."

"But..." Chopper was still a little worried.

"Giving up the flag, they are no longer pirates." Putting his right hand on the straw hat, Luffy looked up at the mainmast of the Phoenix Pirates, and turned around decisively.

Chopper also followed silently. Although he was very worried about Ji Luo who was crying, his work on this ship had been completed, and the next thing he had to do was to leave with his captain.

………………

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!", suddenly, huge ice blocks emerged from the bottom of the sea continuously, and then tilted. The sudden changes made the sea rough, and the Qianyang was constantly bumping.To make matters worse, the cable connecting the two ships was also broken by the towering ice. In the fierce waves, the Qianyang kept stumbling forward, while the ship without power retreated.The ice is still rising and sinking, and the nearby large icebergs are also moving.

Luffy and Chopper, who happened to be at the bow of the ship, stared dumbfounded at the nearby Qianyang Ship being blocked by an iceberg, the cables were cut off, and the pirate ship hit by the current was constantly retreating.The Thousand Suns, on the other hand, drove forward involuntarily amidst the dense icebergs, getting farther and farther away from them.

"Oops! That ship has been separated!" Robin looked at the back worriedly, "Luffy and Chopper are still on it!"

"Don't worry about them! The most important thing now is to keep the ship!", having no time to worry about the monster-like captain, Nami stared at the nearby waters, and reminded the sailor from time to time, "Sanji, left!!"

"Yes, SIR~~~~~~~~~", the cook who immediately followed the order wholeheartedly turned the steering wheel to the left.

"No! On the right!! Another icicle has risen!!"

"Yes yes~~"

……

Similar situations are repeated over and over again, the swaying ship makes Usopp roll directly on the deck, Frankie doesn't know where he went, Robin leans firmly on the strings of the ship, Frankie doesn't know Where did he go.And as for Encore...

"It's so dizzy..." Anke lay on the snow leopard and said lazily, the wide cloak completely covered her body.

And a certain snow leopard also stood there very steadily, and stretched out its idle paws from time to time to kick Usopp back when he rolled here, and had a good time.

The icebergs emerging from the sea have stopped, and the sea surface has also stopped fluctuating, but the surrounding icebergs have already restricted the direction of Qianyang, almost making it impossible to move forward.And the dilapidated ship carrying Luffy and Chopper had been lost in the pile of icebergs, and it was not known where it was washed away.

"Stopped??", Anke raised her face vaguely, the wide hat covered her eyes so that she couldn't see the front, and part of the fluff of the hat stuck to her face.

"Hehe, Miss Anke, you look so cute~~", Robin called out a few hands to help her tidy up her appearance.

"Hmm..." After taking off his hat in a daze, Anke shook his head to regain consciousness, and then looked around, "It seems that there are a lot of people missing..."

"Hehe, it seems so."

Nami frowned and looked at the surrounding icebergs, then pointed to the iceberg on the left, "Go this way, Sanji-kun."

"Yes~~~~Miss Nami~~~~~~~"

The sail of Qianyang was put away, channel '0' was activated, and the outer ship became the driving force, and it began to move forward smoothly in the river channel that could barely pass Qianyang.

"It's almost time, it's time to bring Luffy and Chopper back~" Tightening the collar of the cloak, Anke narrowed his left eye slightly, and a snow-white three-meter-long eagle He flapped his strong wings and appeared in front of her.

Seeing the teammate who disliked him, Mr. Leopard breathed dissatisfiedly from his nose and grabbed the board with his claws like a threat, but he didn't really stretch out his sharp claws.

"Little cutie, do you want to go there in person?" Sanji easily guessed her thoughts, and immediately said worriedly: "Then I will accompany you there!"

"No need, you have to be responsible for sailing the boat~~, not to mention, I just can't walk for the time being, so don't worry so much~~", Anke declined with a smile, and at the same time reached out to pull the leopard's soft fur, feeling a little helpless Childlike character.

"But it's still dangerous for you to go there alone." Usopp, who was also worried, hesitated for a while, and immediately recommended himself with firm will, "Enke, I'll go with you!"

"????", Usopp's almost once-in-a-thousand-year bravery made the partners stunned. In theory, wouldn't he hide early if he smelled a little danger according to his personality?
Seeing the obvious doubts from his partners, Usopp felt that he had received [-] points of damage, and immediately roared with dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with your expressions??"
