Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

"Guga——!"

A strange cry sounded in the sky, and Wayne looked at the wonders in the sky in silence.

He was now on top of a giant platform-like thing.

From time to time, huge birds fly across the sky.

"How did this tree grow so big..."

When Wayne was about to be swatted away by the bear, he had a brief moment of thought.

At the critical moment, he chose to only protect and not resist.

So, he once again enjoyed the bear's air express train.

As he expected, this time he was not sent flying back to Navy Headquarters by the bear.

Still in the South China Sea, Wayne was quite impressed by this special island.

"Kingdom of Birds" Trino Kingdom.

The big tree in the center of the island has a diameter of one third of the entire island.

The giant tree trunks towering into the sky, with huge platforms - just like the one Venn is on.

This kind of terrain is a natural advantage for the giant bird that dominates the island.

So this is called a country where "birds rule humans".

But Wayne knows that this is a country where birds and humans are at constant war.

Yes, this is the island where Chopper was flown by a bear in the original novel and studied for two years.

"Although there are a lot of herbal medicines and advanced pharmaceutical technology here..."

Wayne smiled bitterly and scratched his head. The bear slapped him here. Was it asking him to use the technology here to solve the sequelae of the fruit's ability?

"But I'm not a doctor. Even if the medicine is put in front of me, I can't understand it!"

But at least, he was sure that the bear was really helping him.

"Is it because of Bonnie or the Celestial Dragons?"

Wayne walked to the edge of the platform and estimated the terrifying height.

"No matter what, I have to find a way to get in touch with the locals. At least I won't be made into a hot pot by them."

Looking back at the giant bird passing above his head, Wayne stretched out his finger, and a ball of wine with a strange aroma appeared.

"Fortunately, I have this thing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to speak bird language, and it would be quite troublesome to deal with these guys."

After swallowing the wine on his fingertips, Wayne jumped off the platform, slowed down with moon steps, and approached the ground.

"Rhapsody Juniper" is one of the special alcoholic drinks developed by Wayne that can guide emotions.

Its function was originally to amplify one of several well-known states after drinking alcohol - "drunk amnesia".

That is, you will not remember what you did and what happened while you were drunk.

This is also one of the major factors why wine takes the blame.

Rhapsody·Jinber can force the drinker into this state, even if he is not drunk at all.

It can be useful in certain situations - such as erasing certain information from the minds of people who shouldn't know it.

It's just a pity that Wayne's special alcohol, including Rhapsody Gin, will not have a predetermined special effect on himself.

But it's not completely ineffective.

If he drinks the special alcohol himself, it will have another effect.

For example, in the Water City, Wayne drank "Remembrance Ale", which can make people clearly recall the past and have a special effect of "remembering it fresh".

He himself did not recall the past, but gained sharper insights as a result.

Only then did he discover the trap CP9 had set for him.

The newly developed "Tiange Tequila" has a similar situation.

The effect is that it was originally a "tongue against the Confucians", making the drinker particularly eloquent and even sophistical.

But the effect of Wayne drinking it was to make his words more contagious.

That is to say, it is easier to be convinced.

The "Yingxin·Whiskey" who once "secretly plotted" Kira made him say his "drunken mantra", all the time.

When Wayne drinks it himself, the effect is the corresponding "memory enhancement."

It seems that the ability exists specifically to listen to the gossip of people who drink this kind of wine...

So now the "Drunk Amnesia" special effect of "Rhapsody·Jin", if Wayne drinks it himself, corresponds to the "reduced sense of presence" effect.

So he followed Bonnie openly for such a long time, and the other party didn't even notice.

Even the people in the town didn't notice anything was wrong.

A must-have to change your appearance and hide your identity.

Therefore, Wayne paid attention to avoidance during this period and was not discovered by those big birds at all.

"Shhhhhh!"

Landing lightly, Wayne looked at the strange-style building in front of him with admiration——

These are roads and houses dug by local indigenous people into the mountains.

Some round indigenous people dressed in Indian style were walking through the village with goods on their heads, and they were laughing and laughing.

But if you look closely, you can see that there are quite a few of them carrying long spears, similar to hunters or guards.

"...As expected, these are high-tech machines, handheld versions of rocket launchers."

Wayne, who drank the Rhapsody Juniper berry, was not discovered by the indigenous people for the time being.

But the difference in appearance is too huge. If you enter their village directly, you will still be recognized.

The sense of presence is reduced, but it is not invisible.

"If you come up to say hello directly, as an outsider you don't know how you will be treated."

Wayne rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then left quietly.

After all, although the native people here were very kind in my impression, that was for Chopper, who was mistaken for a tanuki.

The way he looks, it's hard for people to be unkind to him——

Except when you're hungry.

But towards humans outside of their own ethnic group, people's attitudes are likely to be completely different.

"Just to be on the safe side, make some preparations."

……

"Wooka!"

"Wow...the strange bird is here again!"

"attack!"

"Boom..."

Explosions, screams, and strange calls of giant birds are common fights between people and birds on the island.

The indigenous people needed herbs and plants with special functions that grew on giant trees and even in bird's nests.

As for the giant birds, they will never allow these dangerous humans to enter their territory, let alone their nests.

Therefore, whenever an indigenous person enters their territory and is discovered, he will be chased by the giant bird.

This has been a tradition that has been going on for who knows how many years.

And the result...

Often it is the natives who fail.

That's why this place is called the kingdom where "birds rule humans".

"Ah... failed again. We are obviously very close to the herb!"

At the entrance of the village, two indigenous people were standing guard.

The strange bird finally left. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured this time.

But even so, the village was noisy for a while before becoming quiet.

An indigenous man with a round beard pulled his short bun in frustration:

"How many times is this this month?"

"Hahaha, just go there next time!"

The bearded native next to him seemed to be used to such things, and didn't find it strange at all:

"On the other hand, the giant bird I was eyeing was not caught by so many people..."

His fat hand caressed his big belly with a look of fascination:

"Giant Bird Hot Pot, when can I taste that wonderful taste?"

"Do you smell anything other than that?"

The ring-bearded native raised his nose, took a deep breath, and his small eyes sparkled:

"This smells...so delicious!"

"Ah! This is..."

The bearded native smelled it carefully, opened his mouth wide, and drooled:

"It's wine! It smells so good!"

"That's right! It's much more fragrant than the wine brewed in the village!"

The ring-bearded native squinted his eyes, and just by smelling it, he was already happier than the last time he drank wine.

"Plants suitable for making wine all grow in the territory of giant birds, so they are rare!"

The bearded native tightened the rocket gun in his hand and licked his lips:

“That’s why wine is even more rare. If you can occasionally drink some, it’s mixed with a lot of water...

“I’ve only seen this kind of wine aroma in library books!”

The two looked at each other with sparkling eyes and nodded in agreement.

"We must find this wine!"

The two of them tiptoed into the forest and began to follow the scent.

"It's so far..."

The circle-bearded natives became more and more shocked as they walked:

"How delicious this wine is when it smells so good even after such a long distance!"

"The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger...is it there?"

The bearded native raised his rocket gun and looked around cautiously.

"No danger...huh?!"

He suddenly froze, and there was something big moving in front of his sight!

He quickly grabbed his companion and approached cautiously——

"This, this is..."

The two natives were stunned to find that it was a giant bird that was sleeping soundly!

Next to the giant bird, there is a man with a well-proportioned figure wearing a hat, who is moving a huge log.

Placed next to him was a whole row of wine barrels made by digging holes in giant trees!

The fragrance hit their faces, and the two of them felt that they were already drunk!
