Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 47 Marching into the desert, a wonderful desert trip 2
In order to hurry, everyone woke up and prepared to start when the sky was slightly bright.And the careless Luffy rushed his crew aside directly. After all, if he was asked to help clean up things, it would only become more and more chaotic.Ace and Anke tacitly kept silent about what happened yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh~~It's a shrimp~~Sanji, let's eat it~" Luffy excitedly picked up a bug that looked like a shrimp, while Chopper leaned over and looked curiously at this completely unknown bug. Creature, "Is this the shrimp?"

"Idiot, why are there shrimps in the desert?" Sanji, who didn't look back, was busy packing the package, and casually denied Luffy.

"Isn't that a scorpion?" Encore looked at the thing and said flatly, "It's poisonous, Luffy, throw it away."

"Huh??" Luffy threw the scorpion behind the stone in disappointment, "I thought it was for food..."

"There are many dangerous creatures in the desert," Weiwei explained, "If you don't know, you'd better not eat them, Lu Fei-jun."

"Huh?!" Chopper suddenly jumped onto a rock vigilantly, looking in the direction the wind was blowing.

"What's wrong? Chopper." Zoro looked at Chopper's movements strangely.Chopper still looked at that place, and said cautiously: "I seem to have heard something."

Wei Wei tilted her head and squinted her eyes to look in that direction carefully, but she was taken aback when she saw a tornado-like storm in the distance, and quickly said: "It's a desert storm!! This is also one of the dangers of the desert! Everyone, hurry up and hide in the rocks In the pile!!" Everyone who heard Weiwei's warning immediately hid behind the rocks to avoid the violent sandstorm from blowing them away.

Encore frowned and looked at the approaching storm, and directly opened his hands, "Crystal-Prisoner Cage!!" The crystal that came out of Encore's hand quickly turned into a tower, enclosing everyone together.Estimating the strength of the storm, Encore continued to increase the thickness of the walls and deepen the foundations of the towers so that the entire crystal tower would not be blown away.

"Huh... this is a good way," Sauron sat relaxed on the ground, watching the wind and stones blowing past the crystal tower.

Looking at the gray sky outside the tower, Nami smiled and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a scene~~"

While Usopp and Chopper looked at the wind and sand constantly beating outside the crystal wall, hugged each other tightly in fear, and asked tremblingly, "How long will it take to stop?? Vivi"

"I don't know..." Weiwei looked at the storm outside the Crystal Tower and said in surprise, "This is the first time I've seen the inside of Desert Storm..."

"Ahahaha~~~" Luffy was already running around the tower excitedly~~ "It's so interesting~~"

"Won't the crystal break, Encore?" Ace looked up at the crystal that was being hit violently, and asked lightly, "I remember that the crystal is very easy to break."

"Thinner crystals are easier to break," Anke explained with a smile as he pressed his hand against the wall, "but high-density crystals are hard to break, and I'm still thickening them."

Sanji looked around and found that under the blow of the wind and sand, the crystals on the outer wall were constantly shattering, but they were constantly reuniting. He sat relaxed on the ground and said with a smile: "Indeed, the crystals are constantly condensing. This This time is really thanks to you, cutie."

"Why are there always storms in the desert~~" Luffy leaned on the crystal wall and watched the sand piled up outside, and found that the height of the sand could bury them.

…………………………………………………………………………

The time is approaching noon.

"It's so hot... so hot..." Luffy's unbearable shout came from the desert again, but except for the hairy Chopper who was still being dragged by Sauron, the others had almost adapted to it. the heat of the desert.

"Luffy, bear with it a little longer," Anke persuaded, "I should be able to rest after a while..."

Luffy glanced back slowly, saw Encore sitting leisurely in Ace's arms, and immediately ran up to complain indignantly: "It's too much!! Encore, you should also walk with us !!!”

The gentleman Sanji immediately kicked Luffy's head, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Shut up, Luffy. How can a cutie walk at such a young age? I'm tired after walking a few steps, okay? Let your brother help you now." Give me a hug..."

"Yes, Luffy." Ace also persuaded his wayward brother, "And the umbrella was blown away by today's storm, and now Encore is basking in the sun just like you."

Luffy squinted his mouth and looked at Ace with a relaxed face, and thought of another bad idea, he walked up to Ace and suggested, "Hey~~ Ace, can I change it with you~~ I'll hug the encore ,you……"

"Rejected," Ace looked at the heavy package behind Luffy and the glowing red demon sword, and resolutely refused: "Compared with your luggage, Encore is much lighter." Just got an encore, she didn't want to be compared with luggage.

Luffy, who failed the exchange, was quiet for a few seconds, and then shouted again: "Hey, let's guess the punch, the one who wins is responsible for taking all the luggage..."

"Huh?" Zoro, who was surprised by Luffy's divine logic, said, "Isn't the one who should lose brought the luggage?" But everyone who didn't want to bring the luggage gathered around and guessed.Ace and Encore, who didn't participate in it, watched Luffy gloriously win everyone at once and laughed triumphantly: "Ahaha!! I won!!!"

"Is your captain/your brother an idiot?" Ace and Anke, who didn't want to admit that this guy knew him, asked each other tacitly. People, silently shed a drop of cold sweat.

"Why?? Obviously I won, why did I drag the luggage??" Luffy dragged a load of luggage bitterly, still not understanding why he had to carry the luggage after winning.

"Idiot, you made the rules yourself..." Nami looked at Luffy with disdain, sincerely expressing that she didn't understand the structure of Luffy's head.

Luffy, who thought this would calm down, continued to yell after a while: "I'm hungry, Sanji, bento~~~~"

"No! You can eat it only when Wei Weisang says it's okay!"

"Hey~~Weiwei~~~" Lu Fei immediately ran to Weiwei's side and said coquettishly, "Let's eat~~I'm hungry~~"

"We've only traveled one-tenth of the distance now, Mr. Lu Fei." Wei Wei looked at Lu Fei in embarrassment, but she couldn't bear to let him go hungry, so she said, "Then wait until the next rock pile." Let's eat..."

"Yes..." Luffy, who failed to find food, was instantly stunned.At this time, Usopp, who was looking at the terrain ahead with a telescope, vaguely saw a shadow in front of him, "There seems to be a rock in front of him..."

"It's time to rest~~ It's time to eat!!!!" Before Usopp finished speaking, Luffy rushed forward with a pile of luggage full of energy.Usopp spit out the yellow sand in his mouth, looked at the yellow smoke billowing in front of him, pretended to be very calm and said what he hadn't finished: "...Hey, we can go there and have a rest."

"Really, how could he have so much energy? Didn't he just want to die?" Nami was completely speechless.

Ace, who has known Luffy since he was a child, held Encore calmly and walked towards the rock pile. Encore, who has also known Luffy for many years, explained to them with a smile: "Which time does Luffy not eat actively? Just get used to it... ..."

"It's true... If you don't take the initiative to see what you eat, you won't be Luffy..." Everyone agreed.

Just as everyone was slowly walking towards the rock pile, Luffy rushed back with a roar.Sanji looked at the billowing yellow sand running towards them strangely, "Why is Luffy back again?"

"It's not good!! There are a lot of seriously injured birds!!!" Luffy shouted anxiously, "Chopper!! Hurry up!!!"

"Ah, yes!!" Chopper, who was lying on the wooden plank, immediately got up when he heard this, and quickly walked towards Luffy with his small backpack on his back.

"Birds..." Weiwei repeated the word as she looked at the backs of them leaving anxiously. Suddenly, her face changed drastically, and she shouted towards Luffy who was going away: "Mr. Lufei!! That's not an ordinary bird! !you were fooled!!"

........................................................................

"Wow!!!!!! Our luggage is gone!!!!" Luffy stared at the ground where only a few bird feathers remained, his eyes popped out.

"I'm sorry..." Weiwei blamed herself: "I should have told you earlier, the big liar is a thief who specializes in deceiving travelers and stealing luggage."

"What? Birds still pretend to be injured?" Usopp, who is also a liar, was taken aback. "Isn't that a liar??"

Anxious Sanji rushed up and grabbed Luffy's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Luffy, it's not a matter of being cheated now, those luggage belong to everyone, and there are still three days' supplies in it. If there is no food and water, call us How did you walk across the desert??"

"That can't be helped, everyone was cheated away..." Luffy's innocent words made Sanji even more angry, and the two tugged and wrestled together.

"Hey, calm down!!" Zoro hurriedly stopped them from being impulsive, but was stopped by Ace, "Let them vent for now."

"You guys also take a break, let's forget about this matter," Anke said to Nami and the others, "There should be something edible in the desert, so let's catch it at that time."

"But now the more I think about it, the thirstier I get..." Usopp said bitterly, sticking out his tongue.

"Luggage is a small matter." Nami looked at Anke and said, "Enke, I remember that Luffy also held your knife, right? But what should we do now?"

"It's okay," Anke stood up and looked at the thieves who came out to show off their luggage and said, "They were still around just now, and now we want to vent our anger, shall we leave?"

"Wow! Those thieves!!" Luffy, who was wrestling with Sanji, shouted in surprise when he saw those birds. When he saw a white bird taking a sip of water proudly, his eyes were full of frightened eyes. When I saw those birds wanting to fly away, I wanted to rush up.

"Zoro, Sanji!! Hold Luffy, and leave those birds to me!" An Ke simply explained, and rushed out.Zoro and Sanji hurriedly grabbed Luffy who wanted to rush into the desert, but he was still dragged away. Seeing this, Usopp and the gigantic Chopper also rushed to help.

"Luffy, calm down," Nami looked at the people who rolled into a ball, and persuaded loudly, "Do you think you can come back after entering the desert with your sense of direction??"

"But Encore has already gone out!!" Weiwei looked worriedly at the little figure who rushed out, but was stopped by Ace when she was about to follow up. Ace smiled and said, "What Encore said is fine. Just go up and get your luggage."

"That's right!!" Luffy threw off the three of them and one deer with all his strength, and followed excitedly. Zoro and Sanji had no choice but to follow. Usopp and Chopper looked at the scorching heat outside. The sun, immediately lay down in the shadow of the rock and played dead.

"I'm sorry..." Ace looked at the worried Nami and the others and said, "My brother has always been careless, always causing you trouble."

"It's okay," Nami said, looking at the sun outside, "who told him to be our captain."

Not long after running out of the rock pile, Luffy and the others saw Encore slowly walking back with Chi Yue on his shoulders, followed by a neatly lined up Liar and their luggage.Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji looked at the shivering Shiratori, who was originally triumphant, and followed Encore weakly, with fear in his eyes.

"Encore," Luffy looked at the strange appearance of those birds and asked suspiciously, "What have you done to these guys?"

"Nothing," Anke continued to carry Chiyue towards the rock pile like a ruffian, and said lightly, "I just showed them something very interesting~~~"

"Huh????" Zoro and Sanji couldn't think of anything that could scare the thieves like this.

Seeing Anke come back, Ace asked in a low voice, "Anke, what did you show those birds?"

"Nothing~" Enke continued to tie Chiyue to Luffy's luggage, and said slightly darkly: "I just showed them a hundred ways to cook birds~~ fried, fried, boiled Everything is there~~”

...............................................................

"Sanji~~Give me some more~~" Luffy, who had already eaten the bento, looked at the cook eagerly, "That little bit just now wasn't enough~~"

"No!!" Sanji refused righteously, and quickly put away all the food, "It's thanks to the little cutie, we don't know what will happen next!"

"Nah~~ Encore" Seeing Encore who was still eating a bento, Luffy came up to him in an instant, and flatteringly said, "Give me some too~~I'm hungry~"

"Okay," Anke handed over the slightly eaten bento box, "Anyway, I don't have much appetite..."

"Is it okay for you to eat so little?" Ace handed his water bottle to Encore, looking helplessly at his younger brother who would live forever if he ate.

"It's okay, I don't really want to eat right now." An Ke took the water bottle, and after drinking a little water, he became dazed.

"Could it be because of the heat?" Zoro looked at Enke, who was obviously not energetic, and speculated with a smile.Usopp also nodded frantically beside him.Chopper's sense of responsibility as a doctor instantly exploded, and he immediately came over to help Encore take a look.

"Suo, Long, Jun~ Do you think there is nothing I can do now that I'm not at sea?" An Ke stared at Sauron and said lightly, and offered an eye knife by the way.Zoro suddenly felt a chill, Usopp hurriedly grabbed Chopper who wanted to go up, and winked to signal it not to go up, Chopper blinked blankly, still not understanding what happened.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently.The dust billowed in the distance, as if something huge was rushing towards this side.

"What?" Nami stood up nervously and asked Weiwei, "Is it Desert Storm again?"

"It doesn't seem to be..." Weiwei stared carefully at the dust that was getting closer and closer, and when she saw what kind of creature rolled up the big storm, her face turned pale, "That's a desert lizard!! That's A very dangerous desert creature, because of its sharp claws and teeth, no one has ever been able to catch it!!"

"Can you eat it?" Luffy held the eaten lunch box and blinked at Weiwei.Others can roughly understand what Luffy is thinking.

"Eat?" Weiwei was stopped by the question, hesitated and said, "It should be possible..."

"Meat!!!!!!!" Before Weiwei finished speaking, Luffy threw the lunch box and rushed towards the big lizard excitedly. "Oh, very novel ingredients!" Sanji also ran over excitedly. "I'll help too!!" Sauron also took this opportunity to escape Anke's gloomy gaze.

When Usopp watched the "very dangerous" creature in Weiwei's mouth being instantly killed by those three powerful people like monsters, Nami and Chopper who were next door quietly said, "Don't you think that these monsters are in their hands? Is it worthy of sympathy??"

"I agree..." Nami and Chopper nodded tacitly as they looked at the giant lizard that couldn't last a second.

"But what's the matter with this camel?" Weiwei looked at the camel that suddenly appeared, a little strangely, "It doesn't look like a wild camel, does it?"

Nami looked at the camel with the seat on its back and said, "This guy seems to have been chased by that big lizard just now..."

Chopper looked around the camel curiously, and suddenly smiled a little excitedly and said, "It's you!!" The camel also recognized Chopper, and began to talk to Chopper.

"Chopper, do you know this guy?" Luffy came over, biting a large piece of barbecue.And Usopp was stunned when he saw the meat in Luffy's mouth. Sanji wiped his hands and explained with a smile: "The lizard meat I just tested with a stone outside tastes okay..." and Sauron on the other side bared his teeth Wiping his knife with a grin, he wanted to know that the meat was cut with his knife.

"Ah, it brought me out the last time I got lost," Chopper explained with a smile.After Lu Fei swallowed the meat, he looked at the camel curiously. He tried to climb up with his hands and feet, but was hit by the camel's head.

The camel began to say something in camel language, and Chopper quickly translated it: "'Although I am very grateful to you for saving me, but I am a tough camel that only carries ladies...'"

Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp, who were instantly upset, rushed up and kicked the camel, "What are you talking about?? Didn't you drive Chopper??"

"'That's masculine loyalty!!'" With a smile that deserves a beating, the end is to continue to be kicked by the three of Luffy and the others.

"Hey, Encore," Ace bent down to look at Encore, who seemed to be really hot and dazed, and asked in a low voice: "In the desert, you have to ride a camel. Didn't that camel say that it only carries ladies? Do you want to ride a camel?" Do you want to try it?"

Anke turned his head to look at the miserable camel, compared it with the gentle Ace, and decisively chose the latter.Ace looked at the child who threw himself into his arms with shame, and looked helplessly at the sky, thinking: "Have I really become a nanny? Although it's optional, I'm a little happy not to choose that camel..."

"Hey~~~ Can you let me ride for a while?" In order for Nami not to walk, the camel resorted to a beauty trick, and the camel immediately surrendered to Nami's feet.Satisfied, Nami sat on it and said, "Then what should I call you by your name?"

"Idiot!" Sanji suggested, raising his hand. "Asshole! / Nympho!" Luffy and Usopp also raised their hands to suggest.Encore, lying in Ace's arms, muttered to himself: "Sanji..." Ace looked at the blond cook, then at the camel who was also obsessed with lust, and found that the name was very good.

"Then call you 'eyelashes'~~" Nami directly ignored their suggestions, and also ignored Sauron's slightly contemptuous eyes.Smiling, he said to the two girls in the team: "Vivi, Enke, come up too~~"

"Oh? I don't need it," Weiwei said with a smile, "I'll just walk..."

"For Encore, let me hug her," Ace gently declined Nami's invitation for Encore, "She is more used to being hugged by others." As soon as he finished speaking, Encore's arm was slapped A punch, but to Ace it was neither heavy nor itchy.

"That's it..." Nami smiled, and continued to invite Weiwei to come up, "Weiwei," Weiwei, who couldn't hold back Nami, had to sit on it.But as soon as she sat on it, Nami pulled the rein to let the camel run, and said, "Let's go first, if you don't follow up, you will get lost~~".

"Hey!!" Luffy and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly dragged their luggage to follow, while Ace, who had relatively little luggage, followed them easily with his arms in his arms.And a guy who didn't walk much the whole time leaned comfortably on Ace's broad shoulders and continued to play dead.
