Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island

All the pirate brothers were stunned.

The battle hasn't even started yet and our general has already fled. What should we do?

"Quick... run!"

As the voice of a pirate was heard in the crowd, it was as if some mechanism was triggered.

All the pirates began to rush towards the direction where Buggy escaped and joined the huge fleeing army.

"We can't let them get away!" Tashigi yelled.

"Pfft!"

The sound of an object falling to the ground attracted her attention, and her face was instantly filled with fear.

At this moment, Smoker fell directly to the ground and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Dashigi hurried forward.

"Colonel, what's wrong with you!!!"

"No...it's okay!" Smoker waved his hands after struggling to sit up.

"There's no need to chase these pirates. In my current condition, I'm afraid I don't have the strength to fight anymore!"

"Just now, I managed to scare them away with all my strength."

After saying that, Smoker couldn't help but cough a few more times, but no blood came out.

"Colonel, who hurt you like this?"

After hearing what Dashiqi said, Smoker might have remembered something. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he said word by word: "Demon King Xia Chen!"

"Demon King Xia Chen? He is also on this island?" Dashiqi asked in confusion.

But in a blink of an eye, she remembered that Roronoa Zoro, whom she had just met, was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the Demon King Xia Chen was also one of them. So it was not surprising that this was the case here.

Smoker did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

The Demon King Xia Chen was much stronger than he had imagined, and just one move made him lose his combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Smoker had the urge to scold the navy. Who set the bounty? This is definitely not the strength that can be obtained with a bounty of 300 million, right?

But it's no use saying this now. This time their navy... was badly defeated!

Then Smoker turned his head to look at a figure on the next house and said, "Thanks, Dragon!"

He was able to return to Rogue Town so quickly because of the dragon's help. Otherwise, with his current seriously injured body, it would take him a long time to return.

Long laughed softly.

"You're welcome!"

Then the figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Smoker turned to look at the surrounding navy and said, "Prepare the ships, we are going to the Grand Line!"

"Hmm? But Rogue Town is under your jurisdiction, and your injury..."

Before Tashigi could finish her words, Smoker waved his hand and interrupted her.

"No need to say more! I will submit an application to the headquarters for the generals of Rogue Town. As for my injuries, I can still recover at sea!"

After saying this, Smoker looked in the direction where Xia Chen left. He murmured:

"I must catch you, Demon King Xia Chen!"

……

In the sea not far from Rogge Town, on the Merry~

Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were now strangling Luffy's neck tightly, their eyes full of anger.

"Luffy, do you want to die? You flew over here and knocked us from the town onto the ship. If we weren't lucky, we would have died countless times!!!" Sanji roared.

Just now, the three of them were running on the streets of Rogue Town, but then an unidentified object flew over.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely be able to avoid the attack of this unidentified object, but if this unidentified object is a rubber man who has eaten the rubber fruit, how should they deal with it?

So Luffy very "kindly" helped them at that time, stretched out his arms to embrace them all together, and let them return to the ship quickly.

The problem is that they are not rubber men, they are living flesh and blood, so they will feel pain, okay?

Hence the present scene of friendly fellowship between the crew and the captain.

Xia Chen sat beside him and watched the scene leisurely, drinking coffee that he got from somewhere. This life is so enjoyable.

……

A few days later

Nami was wearing a raincoat and looking out to sea in the distance in the storm.

"We are finally almost at the Grand Line! But the map looks weird. There is a mountain blocking our way. It seems we have to go through the mountain!"

"Huh? Idiot! What are you talking about? How can a ship climb a mountain?" Zoro retorted bluntly.

"But that's how the nautical chart is drawn!" Nami retorted without showing any weakness, but her confidence was a little lacking.

It does seem a bit unrealistic that a boat can climb a mountain.

"Tsk!" Zoro sneered again, but before he could say anything, his neck was grabbed by a pair of hands.

"Asshole! What Miss Nami said must be right, how can you question her?" Sanji said angrily.

m9( ｀д′ )!!!!

"You damn curly-haired cook, what are you doing!!!"

"Stinky green algae head, you are not allowed to say anything wrong about Miss Nami!"

Damn it, Zoro couldn’t bear it anymore and started fighting with Sanji.

Xia Chen, who was standing by, took a sip of the coffee in his hand and said calmly, "It is true that you have to climb a mountain to enter the Grand Line!"

I don't know since when, Xia Chen found that he had a hobby of drinking coffee. He would take a sip from time to time. That feeling was really refreshing.

"The entrance to the Grand Line is on the Upside-Down Mountain in the Red Earth Continent. There is a canal there, and because of the ocean currents, it presents a strange sight of ocean currents climbing the mountain."

"Searched thoroughly!" After hearing Xia Chen's words, Nami understood instantly and showed an expression of "I see."

But the next second she looked at Xia Chen in confusion.

"Why do you know this?"

"Gulu!"

Xia Chen took another sip of coffee and said with a calm expression: "These are all basic common sense!"

Nami: . . .

So what you mean is that I, as a navigator, am ignorant?

However, Nami felt that Xia Chen was becoming more and more mysterious at this time. This was also the case during normal sailing. Xia Chen knew most of the problems very well, and it seemed as if there was nothing he didn't know.

If Xia Chen knew what Nami was thinking now, he would definitely say confidently:

"Do you think I watch anime for nothing?"

At this moment, the ship began to shake, and at the same time, Usopp's voice came.

"Nami, the ship is out of control!"

"Huh?" Nami was stunned for a moment when she heard Usopp's words, then she hurried to the railing to observe the ocean current under the ship.

After a few seconds Nami shouted, "Don't worry about it, just let the boat go with the current. We can't control the boat in such a strong current."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this ocean current will carry us toward the canal!"

Nami showed a confident smile on her face. As long as she understood the principle, there would be no problem at sea that she could not solve. After all, she wanted to be the best navigator!
