Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 97 Competition of Long Chain Islands (3)

"Finally stopped..." Chopper suddenly changed back to the appearance of a civet cat, hanging on the armrest.Anke wiped the sea water off his face helplessly and said, "It's really an accident that the boat is fine~~"

"Ahahaha!! So interesting~~" Luffy on the broken wooden raft laughed and said, "One more big wave~~~"

Grabbing a broken plank, Sanji yelled at Luffy with his fangs: "You idiot! Do it again and this raft will definitely be scrapped!!"

"Welcome~~~" At this moment, <Drunkard> and <Beauty Prayer> came to Luffy and the others.The huge <Drunkard> separated the two ships, and the <Beautiful Prayer> came to the other side of Luffy and the others.Seeing the beauty on the <Beautiful Prayer>, Sanji immediately let out a wolf howl with eyes and heart.

"What's the matter??" Seeing the <Drunkard> appearing suddenly, Sauron held his sword and looked at the people on board vigilantly.

"Calm~~Calm~~~" A waiter said with a smile: "This strong man, would you like to drink on the boat~~It's all good wine~and it's all free~~"

"Really??" So Sauron jumped on the boat without hesitation.After finishing one, the waiter continued to look at Encore with a smile and said, "Come on, little girl~~ There are also delicious snacks here~~~".Anke smiled helplessly and said, "If you don't mind, just give me a pudding, and I won't go up~"

"Okay, come here~~~This is a new fruit pudding! Please use it slowly~~~" After the waiter who was able to handle another one brought the pudding to Encore, he smiled and said to Chopper who was hiding there: "Come on!" Let's go!! Fur officials~~Come up and do it~~"

"Who do you say is a furry official???"

"Yes, don't be angry~~~" The waiter took out a red apple like a magic trick, "This is apple candy, try it, it's free~~"

"Is it sweet??" Another deer was bought.And Luffy on "One Plank" ate and drank without any surprise, while Sanji was without any surprise indulging in the beauty village.

"'Are here!!! <Drunkard> and <Beauty's Prayer> must kill - Banquet to prevent progress!! Straw hats are all KO!!!'"

Seeing Polki and the others start attacking Nami and the others, Enke threw back the untouched pudding and shouted to the people above: "Come back quickly, Zoro, Chopper!! Nami and the others Attacked!!!"

"What??" Zoro put down his wine glass all of a sudden, and brought back Chopper who was licking the candy apple.After returning the apple candy to the person in <Drunkard>, Chopper immediately stepped on the pedal desperately in a gigantic form, and the boat... slowly moved forward.At this time, Sanji and Luffy's wooden rafts had already rushed up.

"'Now the leader is <Cute Cargo>, then <Barrel Tiger>, and the third is <Crab Red Lotus> who revived at some point..."

At this time, Luffy in front of him didn't know what kind of bad idea came to his mind... Ah no, what a good way, their ship accelerated and rushed up in an instant, and disappeared in an instant.And here.

Chopper was still pedaling hard, and Zoro looked at the slow-moving boat and said, "I always feel that rowing is faster than this..."

Chopper patted the armrest helplessly and said, "But I made the paddle into this..."

"Crystal City!!" Encore's chuckling voice sounded, and then the sea surface of nearly 50 meters around the ship turned into crystal.Anke slowly withdrew his right hand from the surface of the crystal sea, and then pointed to <Paddle King No. [-]> and <No. : "They have oars. Sauron, go up and grab them!"

"That's a good idea~~~" Jumping easily to the surface of the sea, Sauron slowly drew out his knife and walked towards the panic-stricken person.And Anke looked at Sauron's back with a smile: "Sure enough, Sauron's image is more like a bandit~~~"

"'Wow! The situation has changed a lot!!! <Oar King No. [-]> and <No. [-]> who planned to sneak attack on <Rickshaw> were discovered by Encore, the deputy captain of the Straw Hat Boys, and the sea suddenly turned into a pink patch It seems that she is also a devil fruit capable person, a powerful existence that cannot be ignored even at a young age! Right now, the swordsman Sauron is stepping on the surface of the crystal sea to rob the oars!! What a terrifying and vicious man! !'”

Sauron suddenly made a cross, holding the snatched oar in his left hand, his right hand holding the knife shook unnaturally, and <Oar King No. [-]> and <No. [-]> were declared scrap.

"Sorry..." After the unapologetic voice sounded, Sauron returned to the boat with the spoils of war.An Ke smiled and unlocked the crystallization of the sea surface, and <Paddle King No. [-]> and <No. [-]> sank to the bottom gloriously.

"'Now the leader is still <Lovely Minivan>, followed by <Barrel Tiger>, and then <Crab Red Lotus>... Ahh, the Red Lotus has become tattered and can't sail at all. , and now the third is <One Plank>!! And <Paddle King No. [-]> and <No. [-]> have sunk!! Out of the game!! Now <Rickshaw> is catching up quickly with the oars it snatched back, What a despicable... oh no, what a brilliant move!'"

"No matter how despicable it is, Encore came up with it..." Before Zoro finished speaking, Encore punched him again.Sitting leisurely on it, Anke smiled lightly and said, "Quickly paddle for me!! Suo, Long, Jun! Qiao, Ba, Jun!!"

"Yes!!!!!"

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

"Wow!!!!!!" One of the benefits of strong arms is that the rowing speed is faster, and Luffy and the others also slowed down for some reason, so it didn't take long for Encore and the others to catch up. After leaving them, watching Encore and the others soaring up at the speed of light, Luffy and the others were all petrified.

"..." Usopp stared at Zoro and Chopper who were lying on the boat and panting, and asked strangely, "You...why are you so..."

"I don't know~~~" Anke tilted his head mischievously and said, "Maybe Zoro and Chopper have something urgent to tell you~~"

"There's a ghost!!!" Sauron couldn't help shouting: "It's not you..." Well, I'm not angry anymore...

"Forget it, let's continue to row forward now, otherwise we will be too far behind..." Nami looked at Polki and the others who were still far ahead, and rowed nervously.

Looking at Luffy and the others who were chasing up, Polki twirled the short stick in his hand and looked at them coldly: "Sure enough, it's best to sink them first..."

"Wow!!!" At this time, the host's exclamation attracted everyone's attention, "The difficulty in the route is in front of us - the long coral zone!! Next is the long headland, there is a saying There may be a long vortex waiting for you~~ How will everyone get through these difficulties?? Then... that is... wow!!!"

The startled voice of the host once again attracted everyone's attention: "'Suddenly a figure appeared on the island!! Riding on the four-legged sprinting man Hamburger, it is a genius who wreaks havoc!! The infamy of Fair Play happened to our boss - Foxy the Silver Fox!!!'”

"Leave that guy alone," Encore said, ignoring the figure on the land, looking at the huge pink coral reef in front of him, "Let's go through that annoying thing in front of us first..."

Luffy said excitedly while rowing: "What an amazing coral group, just like Chopper's horn!!"

"My horn??" Chopper, who was rowing a boat, looked at the coral reef ahead and said with a smile, "Really~~~"

"But don't you have horns now?" Zoro glanced at the hat worn by the gigantic Chopper.

"Ah, really..."

"'Now the game is at its climax!! The teams have also reached the long coral reef that traverses the track!! In the lead is Polki's <Lovely Minivan>! Then behind are the three boats of the Straw Hats! '"

"What is that long coral reef?" Robin asked suspiciously: "Even if it is so long, it is impossible to grow out of the sea..."

Nami carefully looked at the countless vortexes under the coral and said, "Look, there is a huge current due to the appearance of the coral. It's better not to be too reckless. Everyone slow down..."

"'Besides, don't forget that our boss, Foxy the silver fox, who is waiting for an opportunity to interfere at any time~~What kind of tricks will he come up with?? Oh~~What happened?? The Straw Hats boat slowed down a bit...'"

Seeing that Polki's boat had entered the coral, Usopp said anxiously: "Nami, what's the matter? If you don't hurry up, they will catch up!"

"Not yet!!" Nami, who had been observing the vortexes, took the time to turn around and said to the people behind her, "You have to wait a bit..."

"Yes!!! Nami-san~~" A certain nympho immediately said faithfully: "I will listen to your orders~~~"

Polki and the others, who had already rushed into the coral reef, returned to the entrance of the coral reef because of the current.Chopper blinked blankly and said, "Ah, they're back..."

"'The <cute minivan> is going against the current!! What the hell is going on???'"

Seeing them coming back, Nami just smiled confidently and said: "As expected, I knew that the current was a bit strange~~ Good! Everyone, get ready to speed up!!" Then she turned around and shouted to the people behind: "Remember to follow Behind us!!"

"Obey!!" Sanji immediately obediently accelerated to follow.Zoro and Chopper also speeded up their boating. Encore looked at the vortices that resembled Sanji's eyebrows one after another, and said with a little admiration: "Nami can actually understand those vortices, it's amazing~ ~"

"It's no wonder..." Zoro said with a smile: "Who said she was the navigator chosen by that fellow Luffy..."

"'The Straw Hat team suddenly accelerated!! Miss Polki and the others followed up, not to be outdone, and the four boats rushed into the long coral area almost at the same time!! Ah???? The three ships of the Straw Hat team None of them were washed out!!'”

Suddenly at this moment, Foxy on the shore suddenly shot an arrow with thick smoke in front of Nami and the others, and then that part of the coral reef was all shrouded in thick fog that couldn't be seen with hands.Usopp choked and said, "This is a smoke screen???"

"I can't see the front at all..." Luffy, holding the oar, looked at the white front with a wrinkled face.

"'Finally appeared! That man interfered like a demon!!! Because of the effect of the smoke screen, the Straw Hats couldn't move forward!'"

However, the boats of the straw hats all passed through the smoke screen smoothly, and everyone didn't even paddle, just relying on the current to sail forward smoothly. go ahead.

"'Whoa! Passed!! Passed easily. What happened?? The boat of the Straw Hat team passed one coral reef after another smoothly, and the <Lovely Minivan> was washed away again I'm going back~~'"

"The boat moves forward automatically??" Usopp holding the paddle said blankly: "What's going on??"

"This is a labyrinth within the ocean current~ Because of the previous large whirlpool, there are continuous small whirlpools in this coral reef, so there is a strange ocean current," Nami explained with a smile: "There is no problem if you don't need to look ahead. Yo~ As long as you understand the current at the entrance, the next current will automatically carry the boat forward~~”

"Invincible!!" Immediately stood up and cheered loudly: "Have you seen it?? The ability of our navigators!! You regret it!!!"

Chopper also said admiringly, "Nami is really amazing~~~"

"'But the joy is short-lived! After crossing the coral reef, what awaits them is the long vortex!!'"

"What long vortex?? So the bottom is also bottomless??" After successfully passing through the coral reef, Usopp looked at the huge vortex in front of him and screamed.

"Usopp, don't panic, get ready to launch!!" Nami said loudly, "Shock Bay!!"

"What did you say??" Usopp felt guilty for a moment, his face covered with cold sweat, "Didn't I...didn't I say that I didn't bring it with me? No... no..."

"Then, what is this~?" Nami poked Usopp's long nose with a red flat shell, "Hurry up, if you don't launch it quickly, you will be sucked into the vortex~~~ "

"What do you mean by that sly look in your eyes... Although I have used it before, if I use it again this time, my shoulders will definitely..."

"It doesn't matter if the shoulder is broken!!!"

"That's my shoulder, of course you don't care!!"

"Good luck~~~~~" Luffy on the two ships behind them all raised their thumbs to Usopp.

"It seems that I have no choice..." Seeing the approaching maelstrom, Usopp took the shock shell and walked to the stern of the ship miserably.

"Forty rounds of flowers bloom~" Robin called out four long hands to grab the two boats behind. Luffy's was the curved plank in front of the raft, while Encore's was the handrail.After finishing it, I sat down and said with a smile: "It's ok, Mr. Long Nose~~"

"Damn it!!!" Usopp, who couldn't escape, had to hold the impact shell and press it on the bottom of the sea. The violent impact brought all the ships into flight, and flew directly over the maelstrom.

"'The <Barrel Tiger> took <One Plate> and <Rickshaw> and accelerated again! With the acceleration, the hull also flew up!! Now they are all above the maelstrom! What will happen next ?? Or nothing will happen??'”

However, thanks to the host's kind words, as soon as he finished speaking, the wooden plank in front of Luffy's raft suddenly broke, even if it broke, it happened to be the plank that Robin was holding on to.Looking at Luffy and the others who started to fall, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"'No good!! The <One Plank> on which Captain Luffy and Cook Sanji were riding broke, and now they are falling straight towards the mouth of the whirlpool!!! Will he die in the bottom of the sea?? His partner will What to do???'”

"Luffy! Give me your hand!!" Zoro stretched out his body and stretched his right hand hard, and Chopper also held him tightly behind him to prevent him from falling.Encore nervously watched Luffy holding Sanji with his left hand and stretching his right hand towards Zoro, shouting loudly: "Luffy!! Hurry up!!"

However, God always likes to joke, Sauron watched helplessly as Luffy's outstretched hand staggered from his own, and then fell directly down because of the suction of the vortex and his own gravity.

"Damn it!!" Seeing that Luffy was about to completely fall into the bottomless vortex, Anke stepped on the plank and jumped straight down, leaving only one sentence: "I'll bring Luffy up and you guys continue the competition!!!"

"Hey! Encore!!!!" Zoro, who had no time to hold Encore, watched her jump down following Luffy's footsteps again.

"What should I do?? Both Luffy and Encore are devil fruit capable!!" Chopper, who was in tears again, looked at Zoro nervously.Zoro was already nervous and sweating all over his face. After looking at the three figures that were getting further and further away, he forced himself to calm down and said, "They're all right!! Absolutely!!"

"'Wow!! After the captain Luffy fell, the vice-captain also jumped down, what a great friendship!! But the long~~ whirlpool is said to be really long~~ outrageous, what will happen? ? Let's look forward to a miracle together!!!'”

At this moment, the boat had already flown over the long curved headland, Zoro jumped directly to the ground, and Chopper jumped down too.

Zoro yelled at Nami and the others, who were so worried that their faces turned pale: "You guys continue the game!! We are waiting for Luffy and the others here!!".Walking to the shore, Zoro looked at the roaring vortex and clenched his fists tightly, while Chopper looked at the vortex tremblingly, worried that he would never be able to see Luffy again them.

Turn around Encore.

The fallen Encore saw Luffy and Sanji far below, put his hand around his mouth like a trumpet and shouted: "Luffy!!!"

Luffy, who didn't know whether he heard the sound or saw the figure, directly pulled Sanji in his left hand in front of him, and then tied him tightly with his hands and feet, especially the eyes, and circled him several times.After getting rid of the only person who could see, Encore directly summoned the trident to switch to the three-beast way, and the black character 'three' in the scarlet left pupil summoned an unknown creature.At this moment, Zoro and Chopper outside watched in astonishment as a black figure rushed straight into the vortex at such a fast speed that they could only see an afterimage but nothing at all.

The black shadow is actually a white-haired eagle summoned by Encore, because an eagle cannot suddenly appear in the vortex, Encore had to let it come down from the sky.The eagle that swooped down below Luffy and Sanji turned around nimbly and flew back with Luffy, Sanji and Encore a little above.Still wrapping Sanji like a rice dumpling, Luffy looked at the swirling sea water leisurely, and then looked up at the sky above: "Hahaha!! This vortex is really long! It fell so I haven't seen the end for a long time~~"

"I'm ashamed to say that I almost scared everyone to death just now..." Anke reluctantly withdrew his trident, grabbed the eagle with one hand, and grabbed the handicapped Luffy with the other, "Let's go out early, Zoro and the others are still worried~~"

"Ah~~It's fun here~~" Luffy shook his head, then looked at Anke's blood-red left eye, then at the exit of the vortex that was getting closer, and suddenly frowned seriously, "Hey, Anke Can……"

"I see..." Anke smiled and blinked his left eye at Luffy, then closed his eyes, "I just recently discovered something that I have been neglecting, and now I just use it to experiment~~Don't worry~ "

"Woooooooo..." A certain poor rice dumpling, ah no, the blond cook said something in pain, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.

The eagle flapped its wings and flew out of the vortex. After circling a few times in the sky, it slowly carried Luffy and the others and landed behind Sauron and Chopper.Anke opened his eyes, and his violet eyes were full of smiles, "Because the animals summoned by the three beast realms are real, even if the ability of the eyes is not maintained at the three realms, I can order them or even make them disappear. This matter was completely ignored by me, and I just remembered it now...'

Luffy looked at the eagle, and then at Encore's left eye. Although he was curious about why this happened, he wisely didn't ask, and just laughed heartily: "Hahahaha!!! I almost thought I was going to die, haha Haha!!!" As he said that, he let go of his hands and feet, and a cook who was about to be smothered fell to the ground, breathing in fresh air.

"'A miracle happened!! Suddenly a white-haired condor flew down from the sky and rescued the three people in the whirlpool!! This is a miracle! It is Davy Jones’ blessing to all contestants! To all pirates who insist on the glory of pirates Acknowledgment!! Let's all thank Davy Jones for a great move!! Wow!!!!!!'”

Encore below heard this, and the corners of her mouth inevitably twitched, but thanks to the host for what she said, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of effort to explain. She fiddled with her face again, and in the eyes of Foxy Pirates, she became an ordinary child with freckles again.

After jumping off the land, Luffy circled around Sauron and Chopper, who were still looking at the vortex but had petrified there, several times, then stretched out his hand and waved in front of them, and said strangely: "Soron and Chopper What's wrong??"

"Who knows..." Let the eagle squat on the ground, Enke slid down slowly and said, "I'm probably scared..."

"Luffy, your family... Wow!! What's going on??" Sanji, who was relieved, looked at the white-haired eagle that suddenly appeared there, and his jaw dropped to the ground in fright. , "When did such a huge eagle appear?? Enemy?"

"It's very rude, Sanji..." Looking at Sanji with contempt, Anke touched the soft feathers on the eagle's neck and said, "It is the benefactor who saved you~"

"Ah! Eagle!!" After finally regaining his senses, Chopper turned his head and saw an eagle staring at him with unfriendly eyes, and immediately frightened Sauron, who stood beside him: "Don't eat me! !"

Zoro, who had completely recovered his composure, looked at the eagle, stretched out his hand and pulled Chopper off his body, and asked, "What's the matter with this eagle? I just saw a black shadow rushing in..."

"The host just said that this is the emissary sent by DavyJones~~" Paraphrasing the host's words, Anke cleverly attributed the eagle he summoned to DavyJones.

"It's very possible. I remember that stinky old man used to talk about white-haired creatures and spiritual creatures~~" After lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, Sanji looked at the eagle. The trick is to pluck the feathers first, and then..."

Seeing Sanji's eyes staring at the eagle become strange, Anke immediately patted the eagle's neck to let it fly away, joke, this eagle is considered to be flying very fast among the birds in the animal road, and there will be many uses in the future where it is.

"Let's go..." Seeing the eagle hovering in the sky for a few times before rushing up to the sky, Lu Fei put on his straw hat, smiled, picked up Encore, and ran along the coastline: "We're going to the finish line to see! ! Hurry up, too!!”

"Hey!! Luffy!!" Sanji yelled hastily, pointing to another route and said, "This is the closest one if you want to go to the destination!!"

Sauron looked at it and said, "Aren't they all the same everywhere?"

"Shut up!! You idiot!!"

"What are you talking about me?? Nympho cook!!"

"That... that..." Chopper, who was walking anxiously around the two who started fighting, said worriedly: "Well, Zoro and Sanji don't fight anymore, Luffy and Encore are gone ..."

"To shut up!!!"

"Yes…………"
