Aironi

Head up.

"It is the time for Ayroni to end the entire cycle, one pura, seventeen kali. Converted to a time that is easier for you to understand, it is five years. Tonight is the night of the pura after five years. All church members will Play the role of the supreme god and welcome the rebirth of Aironi together."

Although those mysterious words are completely incomprehensible, it can be roughly guessed that it has something to do with a local religion.Walking on the street, it is easy to notice that the residents here wear simple and mysterious ornaments with simple and mysterious patterns, and almost all of them are church members.Not only that, every shop on the street enshrines the statue of the Black Stone God.

"Outsiders like us can also visit?" The blond man considered the wording and looked at him with some puzzlement. "I mean, isn't it only religious believers who can participate in such a grand event? We outsiders can too?"

"Don't worry, because Aironi will not let any accidents happen in the night of Fuluo."

Thinking of his own captain, the blond man always felt that such a matter should not be easily drawn to that guy.

"So," the doctor who didn't know what he was thinking about interrupted suddenly, "can you tell me first, what is 'Aironi'?"

The shopkeeper laughed softly, he turned to face the side of the shop, clasped his hands, and his expression was devout that they had never seen before.Following his direction, Sanji and Luo saw that the wall was sunken inwards, and embedded in the inner wall was an exquisite black stone god statue, a handsome god sitting on a huge lotus in a peaceful and casual posture, Hands raised slightly to accept his visit.

"It's the escaped world."

It's still early for dinner, but it's almost time to prepare afternoon tea when I go back.The blond man was thinking about what he could do with the ingredients he bought today, and he noticed that the doctor walking beside him seemed to have a thoughtful expression. "Are you very interested in this kind of thing, celebrations, priests, etc?"

"No." Luo replied softly, "This has nothing to do with what I want to investigate."

"Sorry, I made you take an extra trip." The blond man glanced at Luo's pockets full of ingredients. If he hadn't bumped into him halfway, he probably could have gone back earlier.

"It's easy to do." The doctor turned his head to meet the blue eyes.At this moment, he felt as if he was staring at a piece of sea, and his thoughts quickly returned to the recent days on the same boat.

Ever since he got on the boat of the Straw Hat House, he discovered that many things were out of his control.It doesn't matter whether these guys are too comfortable or have no sense of crisis, in short, they look like they are playing in the sea, and they can think of whatever they want.Fundamentally speaking, it is indeed the captain's decision, but Straw Hat House is completely playful supremacy, and everything is happy.This kind of decision is too hasty, but everyone else will choose to obey in the end.Once the general direction is determined by Straw Hat House, there is no need to listen to his opinions on the details.Everyone has their areas of expertise, and any instructions given in their own areas must be followed unconditionally by others.

It has to be said that their way of handling affairs is very different from their own pirate group - and presumably the same with most other pirate groups.

"You are not like pirates." After a pause for a few seconds, Luo added, "Except for self-assertion."

Hearing such comments, the blond man raised the corners of his lips happily. "Thank you for the compliment."

It wasn't until I got back to the boat that Nicole Robin had brought Luffy back.Their captain was describing the strange experience he had encountered to others, but all the words that came out of this guy's mouth were words such as "uncanny door".In the end, Robin spoke the audible version.

"Oh! Sanji, you guys are back! Have you ever entered the mysterious door?!" The straw hat boy waved his hand to greet them.

"Fortunately, I came back in time. I'll go and prepare today's afternoon tea for you, and I'll talk about it later." Hearing cheers as expected, the blond man led Luo to the kitchen.

"Just put it on the table, it's a big help."

After a while, the blond man rushed to offer refreshments to the two goddesses like a whirlwind with a tray, and then went to greet the others. "Lemon black tea and black forest cake. Don't get it wrong, the glass is yours." Throwing the cup to Chlorella casually, seeing the man's gritted teeth as he wished, Sanji handed another white porcelain cup to Xiaolu , "Chopper, your lemon honey water, and then..." He counted the heads on the deck, each carrying his own plate.One person is missing, and the last piece of cake has already been glanced at least seven or eight times by Luffy.If he hadn't watched closely, he would have entered the stomach of that greedy ghost long ago.

Ro that guy, where have you been?

Luffy quickly finished his snacks, and ran over to stare at the unclaimed cake. "Sanji, can I eat it?"

"...Take it." Sanji turned his head and searched the island for a whole circle before he handed the plate to him.It seemed that the guy didn't plan to come back anytime soon.Wait for him to come back and prepare separately, if necessary.

It turned out that Trafalgaro did not appear until the end of dinner.Sanji put away the last plate nervously, and set foot on the island in the dark.

"Hey Sanji, are you going to find Trazai?" Usopp was fixing the cables on the deck, leaning against the side of the boat and asked the man who had just jumped onto the pier.

"How is that possible? I'm going to do some shopping." The blond man looked at the familiar streets in the distance, all brightly lit, and hoped that those shops hadn't closed yet.

Although he denied it, it would be a lie to say that he didn't care.Even if Luo is not the kind of guy who needs to be worried, it can't be worth the fact that this island is full of evil from top to bottom.It's kind of disturbing not to come back now.It is because I have seen the strangeness of this place with my own eyes that I have a deeper understanding.

In any case, he hoped he'd come across Trafalgarow halfway.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

The street lights were indeed on, but unfortunately the shops were closed.Sanji stood in front of the store scratching his head, and was about to complain a few words, when a strange singing sound came from his ear.The unintelligible language floated in the quiet night, filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.He immediately remembered the Buddhist ceremony that the shopkeeper had said.Probably can't go wrong.

The voice seemed to come from the direction I came from, and I had to go back anyway, so I might as well take a look along the way.At the next intersection, the blond man saw the mighty team.

The congregants walking in the street wore a kind of elegant red cloak with complicated patterns, carrying a row of wooden boards hung with various colored gauzes like a long dragon.On each plank sits cross-legged a man in extremely rich clothes.The look on their faces made Sanji immediately think of the black stone statues enshrined in the store, they must be playing those gods.During the march, these people kept posing some mysterious poses similar to the statues of gods.

Because it blocked the way, Sanji had to wait for the entire team to pass before continuing.He suddenly noticed that the last thing the team was carrying was something out of the ordinary—it was a car with heavy gauze hanging on it.Covered by layers of veils, it is hard to see who is sitting inside.When the car slowly approached him, those veils suddenly moved, it looked like the person sitting in the car was desperately reaching out to him, trying to grab something.

"Aironi."

All the believers chanted devoutly, and the movement in the veil disappeared with their voices.The procession gradually went away, as if all the residents had participated in the ceremony, and the whole street was empty after the procession.Sanji came back to his senses and continued to walk back.He was just considering whether to take a shortcut and go back quickly when he heard a familiar voice.

"It's best not to run around."

The blond man stood abruptly and turned to look at his side.It was a dark alley, and if the man hadn't spoken, he might not have noticed that there was a fork in the road.

"This place is not as simple as it looks." The doctor came out of the alley, holding a small stone in his hand and weighing it casually.

"Then I will return this sentence to you."

Neither of them had any other destinations, and it was time to return to the Sonny.Soon, after turning the next corner, you can see the pier.Luo stopped suddenly.Sanji took a closer look ahead, and swore that this was indeed the previous road, without any abnormalities, and it didn't lead to anywhere else.He gave the doctor a strange look and continued to walk forward.

Just when he took four or five steps forward, the change came unexpectedly.

The surrounding scenery changed into complete darkness almost in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the doctor's voice cut off the darkness suddenly.

"ROOM."

With a flash in front of his eyes, after reacting, Sanji found himself standing beside Luo again.This is not the point, he stared dumbfounded at the front—probably the place he just walked to—a vortex appeared, closing at an unimaginable speed.In just two or three seconds, the dark place on the opposite side completely disappeared.by their side,
