Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 62 The Adventure of Yangdao (2)

In three days, the ship on the top of the mountain has been repaired.Three days later in the morning, the old man was still alive and kicking, playing chess with Nami early in the morning, and eating the dessert carefully made by Sanji.Chopper was making medicine in the house, Robin was feeding the sheep, Luffy, Sauron and Usopp went out to collect food, Sanji squatted next to the simple stove and smoked, and Encore sat next to the firewood hugging The two knives smiled and observed the old man who was said to have only three days to live.

'Is it really only three days?Today is already the morning of the fourth day. According to Chopper, shouldn’t this old man…” Looking at the energetic old man, Enke just smiled.

At this time, Luffy and the others had returned with a big harvest, and put the three big fishes strung together in front of Sanji.Luffy laughed and said, "Sanji~~Let's continue to make a delicious meal for Uncle Yang~~~" Sanji rolled up his sleeves with a smile and said, "Leave it to me!"

Sauron glanced at the red-faced old man, and said in a low voice, "Don't you find it strange? Didn't you say that the old man only has three days to live?"

"Yeah, three days is too short..." Luffy, Sanji and Usopp heard this.Tears flowed out in an instant, and they hugged each other sadly and cried loudly.

"Yeah, it's too short, it passed in the blink of an eye..." An Ke said lightly, jumped off the firewood and put the knife back on his body.

Luffy and the others immediately withdrew their tears when they heard these words.Lu Fei said strangely: "Yes, but Uncle Yang is still alive and kicking..."

Sanji looked at the old man and said, "Really, and more energetic than before..."

At this moment, Chopper ran out of the house with a bottle of medicine and handed it to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, this is today's medicine, remember to take it~"

"I don't want it. Seeing that the medicine even makes food unpalatable~" The old man directly ignored the medicine in Chopper's hoof, and made another move, "General!!" Nami screamed in an instant, holding her head.

"It looks like 30 years will not be a problem," Sanji said to Chopper who came over, "Could it be a misdiagnosis?"

"No... probably not..." Chopper then said happily, "But it's fine if it's really a misdiagnosis~~"

"It's really not the point!!" Usopp stood up and said, "Since this is the case, I have to leave this island no matter what!"

Luffy also nodded: "I want to go out for an adventure~"

"Indeed, you can't spend your time on this kind of thing," Anke said lightly, and said loudly to Nami who was playing chess: "Nami, we are going to sail..."

"Can you wait a little longer?" Nami was still staring at the board with a serious face, "I'm about to win..."

"How long do you want to play?" Usopp said impatiently, "Can't you stop playing chess?"

"I just can't stop, I've been losing to the old man, even the boat..." Nami picked up a chess piece and her face was covered with cold sweat.The old man was comparing scissors next door, smiling triumphantly.

"What????" Luffy and the others lost their composure for an instant, and ran over to Nami.

"General!!" The old man won Nami again. "Don't!!!" Nami screamed, and finally collapsed on the chair weakly and wept.

"If you want to redeem your boat, let me do the math~~" The old man took out his abacus and "cracked" for a while to calculate, and then said: "You have worked on the island for at least 10 years~~ Is the business good?" The old man Looking at Luffy and the others treacherously.

Luffy and the others waved their hands in unison and stepped back to discuss countermeasures together.Anke looked at Robin, she smiled and shook the grass she was feeding the sheep in her hand and nodded, Anke smiled knowingly, turned and walked to Luffy and the others.

"Things have come to this point, I have to leave my grandfather and run away!" Usopp suggested, "This is the only way now."

"I don't want it!" Lu Fei said firmly: "If you lose the bet, you lose. I don't want to be lazy!!"

"Luffy! Now is not the time to be cool!" Seeing Luffy's determination, Usopp had to ask Enke for help, "Enke, go talk about Luffy too, we can't really stay here 10 year?"

"Luffy is the captain," Anke said with a smile, "It's Captain Luffy who gave the order!" Usopp was stunned for a moment.

"General!" Robin's voice came from the old man's side, and Robin said to Luffy and the others who were looking over, "This way we can win the boat back~~"

"Ahahaha~~~" Luffy and the others revived with full blood in an instant, and walked over to the old man arrogantly.

"How? Grandpa??" Nami looked at the old man who was frozen there.The old man finally conceded: "I lost..."

"Is the business good??" Luffy, Sanji and Usopp imitated the old man's treacherous appearance before, and said with a sly smile in the tone of a profiteer.

"So-so..." The old man laughed a few times with cold sweat, then he slapped the table and stood up laughing and said, "Hahaha, I have lived such a long life, and I have never met such a fun pirate~~ I like it You guys, let’s have a party tonight to celebrate!!”

"Oh! By the way, we can get back the Merry~~"

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

At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, and the glistening moonlight envelopes the entire island.The front of the old man's hut was brightly lit.

Nami kept pouring wine for the old man, "Grandpa, you are like a big pirate, you can drink a lot~~"

Seeing Nami drinking, Usopp laughed and said, "Nami, don't you want to get grandpa drunk and then take the opportunity to ask where the treasure is hidden?" The eye knife passed, and Usopp immediately fell silent.

"Uncle Yang," Lu Fei asked suspiciously with a piece of meat inserted into a fork in both hands: "Uncle Yang, do you really have a treasure? Ah~~"

"My treasure..." The old man said with a smile while holding his wine glass, "It's the sheep that shared the joys and sorrows with me after I drifted to this uninhabited island..." The sheep grazing on the side also said "baa~~~" replied.

"It's so touching..." Luffy burst into tears instantly, Anke, who was quietly grilling the fish, handed over the fish in his hand, and Luffy bit it directly, covered his mouth and shouted: "It's so hot!!!!" But reluctantly handed him a glass of water.

"I lied to you, ahahaha~~~~" the old man laughed out loud.Nami, who had ulterior motives, immediately said anxiously: "Don't play tricks, hurry up, grandpa~"

"Well, I used to be a big pirate who criss-crossed the great sea route..." The old man paused, and then said: "...a loan shark." As he spoke, the old man pointed to the abacus he wore on his waist, "The loan shark Cheney is not a pirate .”

"Isn't it??" Nami, who thought she could make a fortune, was instantly disappointed.Usopp laughed gleefully.

"But you are a bold old man who gave usury to pirates." Sanji, who was cooking, said with a knife, "Aren't you very good?"

"However, when Encore first came to this island, he seemed to have said that the people on the island are weak," Sauron took a sip of his wine, remembering what Encore had said at the beginning.

"Ah, yes, I'm very weak, hahahaha..." The old man took a sip of wine and continued, "It's dangerous to trade with pirates. Damn pirates. But if I admit it like this, I won't have to do business, and every time I go to collect debts, it's like gambling my life..."

"Since it is such a dangerous industry, why should we continue?" Anke turned the grilled fish in his hand and said lightly, "Is there any reason?"

"Indeed, I, who was weak, held the mortal heart because of my dream, and kept fighting with pirates." The old man looked at the sky and said with emotion: "I have wanted to be a pirate since I was a child, a real pirate... ...One Piece! That's why I started to save money desperately, but was chased by the stinky pirates who held a grudge, and drifted to this island in one breath, and 20 years passed like this."

"Did you spend 20 years making the tomb?" Sanji raised his knife and looked at the old man.

"At the beginning, I planned to do it on the coast, but it was too difficult to transport the wood down the mountain... But I just couldn't give up this idea, so I started to do it in the mountain. But halfway through, my dream woke up, and so on. I came to my senses, I am too old to embark on the great route again," the old man shook his abacus violently, and said with a wry smile: "What kind of dream, a dream is a dream after all, hahaha..."

Listen to what the old man said.Everyone fell silent.With his mouth full, Luffy asked suspiciously: "Why did you give up, Uncle Yang? What does it matter if you are old? If you want to be a pirate, go for it."

The old man stared blankly at Luffy.Usopp immediately said: "Hey, Luffy, what if the old man takes it seriously, what should we do?? You need a boat to be a pirate! But the old man's boat is the coffin on the mountain."

"Then it's okay to move down?" Luffy said loudly.The old man who heard Lu Fei's words also bowed his head in silence, and Nami immediately poured him a drink and said, "Grandpa won't take it seriously, he's just drunk, right?"

"Hahaha," upon hearing Nami's words, the old man rubbed his head and laughed loudly, "Yeah, I'm drunk, I'm drunk. I almost took what the straw hat guy said seriously, ahahahaha..."

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

In the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep, and only the occasional chirping of insects remained in the quiet night.The bright and clear moon is slowly falling, and the cool light covers the sleeping people with a layer of tulle, which seems warm but adds to the chill.

An Ke, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened a slit of his eyes, looking at the figure of the old man staggering towards the top of the mountain.After the figure of the old man was completely out of the forest, Anke sat up slowly and brushed his somewhat messy hair.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Robin's voice sounded softly, but Anke said without any surprise: "Just lie down and rest, I'm not used to sleeping deeply..." After a while, Anke touched the neck The sky blue pendant asked: "Speaking of which, Robin, have you heard of the kingdom of Artesdilan?"

"Yates Dilan??" Robin put away his smile and looked slightly serious, "Where did you hear this name?"

"Do you still remember the person who appeared on the island where he landed last time? He said that he is from that country. He said that people in their country have some healing abilities. This makes me very concerned. What kind of country can have the same I... have a similar ability," Anke touched his left eye, and did not express another doubt in his heart: "Why did he pester me? It disgusts me...'

"Is that the black shadow that suddenly appeared last time?" Robin rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said, "Actually, the Kingdom of Artesyland is not in the world country records, and few people in the world have heard of this country. But this The country is a mysterious country under the protection of the World Government. It is said that it was an important contributor to the establishment of the World Government. It was established 100 years ago. As for the mysterious power possessed by the people, I don’t know very well..."

"..." Anke was completely speechless, and said in a daze with a huge drop of cold sweat: "Which Buddha did I worship wrong, so that I got into trouble with such a tall bastard?? And I was fooled around ??"

"Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"Do not……"

After the two were quiet for a while, Robin got up and prepared to go up the mountain: "I'll go to the mountain to have a look. Grandpa is a little worried there alone."

"Be careful." Seeing that Robin's figure also disappeared into the jungle, Anke hugged his two knives and began to close his eyes and meditate.

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

In the morning, Robin hadn't come back yet, and Chopper, who woke up the first, went out to look for the old man who hadn't come back yet. Anke, who had already packed up his clothes, looked at the lush forest with a smile, and then calmly closed his eyes to sense the constant rushing waves. The strange atmosphere of the island, while Luffy and the others are still sleeping soundly.

"It's not good! Get up, everyone! The navy is coming!!" Chopper shouted as he ran to the hut.

"What??" Luffy and the others who were sleeping jumped up in an instant, grabbed their own things and ran down. By the way, those things included a certain chick who was just wandering around.

On the coast, listening to a warship, it miraculously did not attack the Merry that was parked aside and Luffy and others who had just rushed down.

"There doesn't seem to be any signs of attack," Nami gasped slightly, "What are you doing here?"

Encore, who was put down by Luffy, habitually returned to his old position—behind Luffy, slightly showing half of his face, looking at the warship outside, then at the thick fog behind the warship, and carefully grasping the road. Flying hem.

"Hi, Straw Hat Pirates~ I'm Sergeant Minki of the navy, please give me your advice~~" A red-haired man who seemed to be the leader on the warship came out and smiled politely, but the treacherous face on his face made people feel relieved. Don't worry, "I was really sorry a few days ago. If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have chased you down~ I'm here to apologize to everyone..."

Seeing Sergeant Min Qi's actions, Luffy and the others became even more defensive. "Isn't this too strange?" Sanji stepped forward and said, "It's only natural for the navy to chase pirates."

"This guy's attitude is a bit strange, you'd better be careful..." Usopp whispered.

"Haha, weren't you warriors who defeated the Qibuhai in Alabasta? How dare I be an enemy to you? Please believe me, if I want to fight, will I bring only one ship?" Sergeant Minqi said. Wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he said, "Even if I go to war with everyone, I won't get a penny."

"Then what are you doing here?" Sanji bit his cigarette, still very vigilant.And Lu Fei silently stretched out his hand to protect Encore behind his back, looking at the guy who didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"I just came to investigate this island, because it is an island that has not been recorded on the map"

"There is nothing to investigate, there is only one old man and a flock of sheep on this island," Nami said lightly. "Speaking of which, the old man is not here, where did he go?" Usopp looked around and found that the old man was not there.

"That's it, then leave Cheney to us for protection. After the investigation, we will go back to the base directly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my words. It is better for you to start early. The Navy Headquarters is already red-eyed and wants to eliminate it." You guys, the weather over the fog is fine, the wind is calm, we will definitely not make a move..."

"That's right, the tide here is high anyway, I'm going to move food and call Robin over." Usopp said, and when he was about to go back, he was stopped by Encore: "Usopp , don't go up, there is a navy ambushing up there..."

Hearing Encore's low-pitched warning, Usopp immediately stopped and slowly returned to Sauron's side. "Besides, there are many warships in that fog." Anke quietly poked his head out to look at the thick fog behind the warships, paused for a moment and continued: "Nine warships."

"What??" Luffy and the others screamed loudly, "There is an ambush??"

Chopper moved his nose and said, "It does smell of gunpowder, there are countless gunpowder smells in the fog!"

Nami sneered slightly and said, "I just said how did that guy know the name of the old man. We didn't tell him what the name of the old man was just now. It seems that he really came here after being prepared."

At this time, as the sun rose, the fog in the distance also dissipated, revealing several warships hidden inside. "Is there really an ambush??" Nami, Usopp, and Chopper huddled together in fear.

Encore glanced at the sailors who were slowly coming out from behind, and whispered to Nami and the others: "Just leave Luffy, Zoro and me here, Nami, you go to the boat and prepare first." Encore's tone After a pause, he thought for a while and said, "No, just leave Sauron and Luffy here, and I'll go with you too."

When Encore and the others were about to run to the Merry, a lot of marines ran out of the island and pointed their guns at them. Sergeant Minqi stopped pretending to be a good guy and said with satisfaction: "Well done, Captain !"

"Don't worry about them, Luffy and Zoro are fine. I'll help you block those bullets," Encore whispered, still carefully covering his face, cleverly using Sanji and the others to cover the view of the navy, "Let's go back to the boat now."

Sanji and the others nodded, and when they were about to leave, there was a loud noise on the mountain, as if something had slipped down.Everyone watched in astonishment as a boat slid down the mountain.

"Ahahahaha..." The old man standing on the boat happily scratched the abacus in his hand and said, "Is business going well?"

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

"Uncle Sheep!!" Luffy happily watched the ship hit the pile of navy, then stepped aside with the forest to watch the ship slide down the sea, and then slowly stopped not far from the warship.

Anke and the others who had just climbed onto the Merry and were about to sail, watched in astonishment as Luffy grabbed the old man's boat with outstretched hands, pulled it violently and bumped into the warship where Sergeant Minqi was. It slid on the sea and finally hit a hill not far away.

Looking at the dilapidated ship of the old man, Usopp folded his hands and asked suspiciously: "Speaking of which, what is the old man's weapon?"

Seeing the old man on the boat waving his abacus, Sanji spoke calmly. "Abacus and..."

"Baa~~~" Enke calmly imitated the sheep's cry, but unfortunately, this cute voice gave Chopper a big jump. He pointed to the distant boat and shouted anxiously: "Grandpa is still on it, hurry up!" Come on, hurry up!!"

Nami carefully looked at the motionless warship in the distance and said, "Why are they still not moving? Is there a plan?"

"Let's go there now," seeing that Luffy had already flown onto the warship.Anke said: "Anyway, they will attack us in the end, whether it moves or not..."

As soon as the Merry landed on the old man's boat, Chopper shouted nervously: "Grandpa, are you alright?"

"Ahahahaha, what's the matter?" The unscathed old man flicked his abacus, his face full of treachery: "Business is super good~"

"咩咩咩~~~" The flock of sheep stepping on Sergeant Minqi also called out, and Robin who was also on the boat just smiled softly. "It's better to check carefully!" Chopper was worried, and stepped forward to check the old man's pulse carefully.

"Hahaha~~~" Luffy, who was sitting on the side of the boat, laughed loudly: "I didn't expect this warship to be so unbeatable, or I'm too good, ahhahaha~~~"

After looking at the 9 motionless warships behind them, Nami and Sanji, who had black lines all over their heads, jumped on board, ignoring their own little tendons.Usopp still stayed in fear on the watchtower of the Merry looking at the warships in the distance, worried that they would attack together.Encore walked to the side of the boat, stretched out his hand to make a crystal road on the sea surface, and let Zoro, who was still staying on the shore, board the boat. Then he sat next to Luffy and watched Nami tie Sergeant Minqi into rice dumplings with a rope.

"Hey~~~Grandpa~~" Nami, who was still thinking about the old man's treasure, said with a smile, "Can you tell me now? About the treasure~~"

Hearing the word "baozang", the old man lowered his face instantly, then sighed helplessly and said with a smile, "I was really defeated by you, well, since everyone takes care of me so much, I will tell you..."

"That's right~~~" Nami said full of expectation, "That must be an incredible treasure~~"

"I did have treasures once. The gold and silver treasures collected from pirates were piled as high as a mountain, but in order to buy pirate ships and recruit partners, I exchanged all the treasures for cash..."

"Cash!!!!" Nami's eyes immediately turned into Bailey, shining brightly.The eyes of Sergeant Min Qi, who sneaked up to Nami to eavesdrop, also turned into Bailey.

"In retrospect, these are destiny. Didn't I say yesterday that the rest of the love floated to this island in one breath? Of course I took the money with me. But when I float to this island and wake up. I saw these sheep eating my hard-earned dream money..."

"What?? Eaten????" Nami and Minqi immediately changed their faces and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it all?? Has it all been eaten??"

"That's how things are. Well, there are still two or three left." The old man continued calmly, "That's why I said that these sheep are my treasures. Although I lost the treasure, I gained a group of friends. Regardless of gain or loss, I will always accompany my partner. I have already obtained the most precious treasure in the world..." The flock slowly surrounded the old man, yelling "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no no no of [-]

"That's great, Uncle Yang," Luffy said with a smile.Everyone laughed heartily.

"Cut, boring..." Sergeant Minqi snorted coldly, his eyes furtively glanced at the people on board, and when he saw Encore, his eyes lit up instantly: "Wow, what a cute kid~~ Like a doll, if you grab it~~~~"

Feeling being watched, An Ke slowly turned his head to look at Sergeant Min Qi with a sinister smile on his face. Violet's big eyes were smiling but there was no warmth. The sweet smiling face seemed to be wearing an eternal mask.

"Wait a minute... that face... I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Sergeant Min Qi, who had been staring at the encore, began to look strange, and slowly broke out in cold sweat, tremblingly said: "No, It should be false...but the rumor in the headquarters..." Seeing An Ke's expressionless eyes, Sergeant Min Qi suddenly passed out, his face still covered with cold sweat.

"Luffy," Ankola pulled the hem of Luffy's clothes sitting next door, then pointed to the fainted Sergeant Minqi and said, "Throw this thing back, it's too annoying..."

"That's true~ But why is this guy dizzy? Forget it, it's none of my business~~" Luffy moved his fingers, jumped off the side of the boat to lift him up with one hand, and swung the other hand a few times Ready to beat him up.

"Hey, Luffy," Usopp, who was standing on the observation deck, looked at the warships parked there with a telescope in one hand, and commanded: "A little bit higher, up~~"

"Oh!!" Luffy threw Sergeant Minqi up, and punched it hard with his outstretched fist: "Rubber rubber-pistol!!!" Sergeant Minqi instantly flew towards the distant warship like a sandbag .Usopp holding the telescope said with satisfaction: "Yes~~ the direction is correct."

"咩咩咩~~~" Suddenly a sheep ran down from the warship with a big phone bug on its back, and the microphone was still picked up.The sheep stopped in front of Luffy, everyone looked at the phone bug suspiciously, Anke slightly raised his hand to cover his face, and was a little vigilant.

"I'm Naval Commander Zomoa, and I'm not interested in this island or the man named Cheney." A thick, middle-aged male voice came through the phone, full of seriousness: "Our purpose is to attack you in the name of justice. This group of scum! This time, in order to repay you for sending back the black sheep of our team, so I let you decide the place of the battle. Let’s set sail!!”

Luffy smiled and picked up the microphone: "We also think it's time to set sail, so we'll go now~~"

...After simple preparations for sailing, Luffy and the others are ready to leave...

"The opponent has 9 warships, are you okay?" The old man worriedly looked at the people who jumped back to the Meli one after another.The sheep on one side also screamed "bleat".

"It's okay~~" Luffy swaggered back to sit on the special seat of the Merry, and said with a smile, "Not only am I strong, I'm also very lucky~~"

"I really lost to you..." Looking at Lu Fei's worry-free expression, the old man was very helpless.

"Grandpa," Chopper said nervously lying on the side of the boat, "I have prepared all the medicine, you must take it, definitely~~"

"Ah, I know, I know. I will eat on time, don't worry..."

Luffy propped the Merry away with all his strength, and slowly moved away from the ship where the old man was.

"These days are very happy, grandpa. Take care~~" Nami said with a smile, waving her hands.

"Everyone, I'm counting on you, Grandpa!" Chopper said loudly to the sheep. "Meh!"

"Let's meet at sea!!" Luffy said loudly.

"Ah, when I fix the boat, I will go to sea..." The old man laughed.

"Waiting for you, Chaney Pirates!!!"

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

The Merry slowly passed the main ship of the warship.Encore and the others stood casually behind Luffy. Luffy at the front stretched out his left hand expressionlessly and pointed in the direction of the Merry. A red-nosed man on the main ship also nodded expressionlessly. Slowly follow behind the receding Golden Merry.

Anke, who was sitting relaxed on the boat, chuckled and pressed his left eye, and glanced at the warship behind him, "It's not easy to only let my friends see me, and not let anyone on the warship discover my existence~~ However, this kind of trick cannot be used frequently, otherwise if everyone thinks that I am not on board Luffy, Sauron and the others will become suspicious...'

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

After the Merry passed the sea of ​​fog full of hidden reefs and eddies when it came, it successfully threw off the following warships.

Seeing the warship that ran into the reef behind and turned into ruins, Nami couldn't help but praise Luffy: "You are still good at leading the enemy into the reef area in the fog, Luffy~~ I can't see that you occasionally Can you use your brain~"

"Oh?! Is that so??" Luffy asked suspiciously.

"What is this? I'm asking you!!" Nami couldn't help stomping on the floor with her feet, "What a fool, I shouldn't praise you!! Give it back to me!!"

"What else??"

"There's nothing to think about," Sanji said coolly, "He's just pointing at random."

"Speaking of which, ship doctor Sang, how is the old man's health?" Robin asked slightly worried.

"Those medicines can only prevent the attack at best, but can't prevent the disease from getting worse." Chopper said with his head down, "His heart is not good, and he is also old. Thief..."

"What are you talking about, Uncle Yang said that if he wants to be a pirate, let him be one~" Lu Fei said optimistically, "And after Uncle Yang goes out to sea, there might be a special medicine for healing on some island~~"

Chopper blinked his eyes, and after thinking it through, he smiled innocently: "That's right, there will definitely be another day!"
