One Piece: Crazy Thunder Pirates

But Cheng Jie gritted his teeth and walked slowly forward step by step, sweat dripping down his face, but his eyes still kept looking straight ahead without wavering at all.

Cheng Jie walked like this for a long time. When he came to a lush bush that blocked his sight, he stretched out his hand and pushed it hard before stepping in.

"Wow~"

Cheng Jie stumbled, his body instantly jumped over the grass, and fell flat on his chest to the ground, causing him great pain.

"What the hell? It turns out to be a small tripod bush, so slanted!"

Cheng Jie looked back and cursed.

It turned out that the grass in front of him was intertwined with vines, and the sloping missing section behind the grass looked like a stumbling block in the ground. It was a typical stumbling block.

Such a stumbling block made Cheng Jie, who was already tired and hungry, feel very angry after falling. He rolled his arms and wanted to teach this 'guy' a lesson.

But at this moment, Cheng Jie inadvertently tilted his head, and out of the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a scene, which made him hesitate to wave his arms towards the bushes.

Then, he suddenly turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked over intently, causing his body to stiffen for an instant, and then tremble slightly.

"This~this is finally here? A small town!"

Cheng Jie looked at the neatly arranged houses about one kilometer away in front of him. Suddenly, he felt tears filling his eyes. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and instantly forgot about the grass that he had just tripped over. .

His already exhausted body seemed to have a surge of energy, causing him to move forward quickly and run quickly!

It took Cheng Jie only a few minutes to reach the small town, which was nearly a kilometer away.

But when he ran not far from the town, he woke up from the excitement and feverish state of mind. He stood quietly on a cobblestone path leading to the town, looking at Looking at the town quietly.

"How could it be so quiet? There wasn't even a sound, and there weren't any people on the road!"

It turned out that Cheng Jie, who was approaching the town, quickly discovered something strange about the town. He couldn't help but endure it. He was tired and hungry, and began to analyze it calmly.

Originally, Cheng Jie looked at the town from a distance and saw nothing unusual, but when he got closer, he felt something was deeply wrong.

Because this town was too peaceful, Cheng Jie didn't hear any sounds coming from the town since he stood here. But the strangest thing is that in this extremely quiet town, the streets or houses, although Very old.

But there are not too many fallen leaves and other garbage. Except for a few damaged houses, there are no signs of damage to the houses near the street, and the windows are all boarded up. All of these, Cheng Jie felt very strange.

After all, this small town has suffered from the ravages of the fish monster for nearly 10 years, but the streets and houses are still so intact, which makes it difficult to figure out what happened.

"Forget it, there's no point in daydreaming here, we'd better go in and take a look."

After looking at it for a long time and unable to see anything wrong, Cheng Jie couldn't suppress the 'protest' in his stomach, so he made this decision and walked slowly along the edge of the path carefully.

"Huh~ I hope the house is not inhabited by those nasty fish monsters, otherwise I will have no choice but to fight for my life."

After walking into the small town along the path, Cheng Jie held a stone with a pointed end and two palms in his hand, looked at a nearby simple house, and murmured to himself.

After taking a deep breath, he glanced around, then walked over quietly like a thief. But just when he reached the house, a noisy sound of men and women talking came in. into his ears.

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice. It's our family's turn this month, what should we do!"

"Yeah, we can't-"

squeak~

When Cheng Jie heard the voice, he felt happy. Without looking clearly at the branches under his feet, he accidentally stepped on them and made a crisp sound.

Although the sound was not loud, it was still particularly clear in such a quiet environment, causing the voices that were still discussing to stop.

Seeing this, Cheng Jie decided not to hide anymore, walked gently to the thick wooden door of this room, reached out and knocked gently, and whispered: "I am a tourist in distress, can you let me in?" , do it?"

Tread~click~

Just after a while, there were some messy footsteps inside, and then the wooden door was slowly opened a crack, and a dim orange firelight came out, and then a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion stretched out from the crack in the door. He got out of his head and looked at Cheng Jie, his eyes flashed with surprise and more of joy.

"Come in and talk!"

Cheng Jie opened his mouth to speak when he heard the woman's urgent voice, and the woman leaned out and reached out to grab him.

Cheng Jie did not dodge and allowed the woman to be pulled in easily, but the stone in his hand was even tighter!

squeak~

After Cheng Jie entered, the wooden door closed again. The only light in the town disappeared in an instant and returned to that quiet state. After he entered, he saw the layout of the house. It was very simple, just a few cushions. There was a small fire in the center of the hall that was glowing with fire. There was an iron pot the size of a basketball hanging on it. The iron pot was covered in black ash. You could tell at a glance that it had been used for many years and had been baked by fireworks.

But after Cheng Jie entered, he just glanced around and landed on the three people standing in front of him.

Among these three people, except for the woman who pulled Chengjie in, the other two were an honest-looking man and a cute girl with an oval face.

While Cheng Jie looked at them, the three of them also looked at him. The man's gaze from the beginning was like the woman's gaze when she saw Cheng Jie outside the house for the first time. As for the girl, in addition, she looked at Cheng Jie's eyes. There was an obvious joy in his eyes.

"Cough cough~"

In just a few breaths, the man's eyes became a little calm and he coughed twice. The two women beside him also closed their eyes in panic.

Then, the man said: "This little brother, my name is Batu, these two are my daughter and wife, Alice and Yuna. I don't know how you got here, little brother?"

"Oh, my name is Cheng Jie. I was originally a noble young master on a merchant ship, but the merchant ship was robbed by a group of pirates. I was caught by this group of pirates. They wanted to use me to blackmail my father.

But unexpectedly, the pirate ship was pursued by the navy and almost sank when it was blown up and sailed into a foggy sea area. I told them that they were not paying attention, cut off the handcuffs, stole a small boat, and escaped, but I didn't want to I got lost at sea, and then I encountered a big wave. The small wooden boat capsized with just one hit. I also passed out and woke up and was here. "
