() In the kitchen of the Meili, Sanji was cleaning the kitchen utensils. He complained grumblingly: "Really, he eats so much every time. Was that guy a pig in his previous life?" "Okay, Sanji.
"Luffy has always been like this, haven't you gotten used to it?" I comforted Sanji, sitting on a stool in the conference room and reading the newspaper in my hand. Beside me, Xiaolu was helping Sanji wash some vegetables, Na
Mei was studying the nautical chart on the table, and Usopp was repairing his machinery. "This ship is really strange. The four grown men have many problems, and the three ladies are diligent and lovely. Hey! If only I and I were on this ship.
The words of the three ladies..." Sanji gradually fell into his own fantasy, and finally I heard him shout: "Love!" Looking at Sanji playing a love game alone in front of the pool, I sweated.
Turning her head, Nami didn't seem to be affected by Sanji. She was still looking at the chart seriously.
"What are you looking at, Nami? You haven't said a word since just now." I knocked on the table next to Nami and asked her. Nami raised her head and looked at me, then continued to bury her head.
Looking at the chart, he replied: "Look at these islands on the Grand Route. It seems that before going to Alabasta, we will pass by an island called Ariland." "Aliland?" I was surprised.
Looking at Nami, she put her head next to Nami, looked at the chart on the table and asked Nami: "Is there anything strange about this island?" Nami closed the chart on the table and turned her head.
Lai said to me: "Generally speaking, the "Grand Line Illustrated Book" will be a helper for pirates when sailing on the Grand Line. It marks the precautions for each island in the Grand Line so that pirates can navigate the Grand Line successfully.
It went more smoothly. But this time, for Ariland, the "Grand Line Illustrated Book" did not have any useful introduction. The only information about Ariland in this book is that it is an island with four seasons." "No.
Any introduction? Could it be that the person who wrote this book has never been to this island?" I looked at Nami curiously, becoming very interested in what she said about Ariland. Nami shook her head
He shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know. It may be that the author has never been to Yaliland, or it may be that there is nothing that requires special attention on Yaliland. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out. Then
That's it... For Ariland, all the preparations before going to the island will eventually be in vain." Kacha... On the other side, Usopp, who was repairing the machinery, accidentally broke the wooden bar in his hand. He carefully lifted it.
He started to look at Nami: "We are not...going to that island?" "Of course!" Nami nodded matter-of-factly, and then started to complain endlessly, "Look at that idiot captain, he eats so much.
The food on the ship is not enough, so I have to go to the island to replenish it? Also, a certain drunkard actually uses fresh water to make wine, so I have to replenish some fresh water? And..." "I have a disease that prevents me from going to the island..."
Obviously, Usopp didn't hear Nami's complaint. He was already pretending to be sick with tears streaming down his face. Me? I covered my ears and hid. Who do you think the drunkard Nami complained about was? Zhuo
Luo? That guy only knows how to drink wine, how can he possibly know how to make wine?
As the Merry continued sailing, a not very big island gradually appeared in front of us. As usual, Zoro dropped the anchor, Sanji and Luffy furled the main sail, leaving Vivi behind
Watching the ship with Karu, everyone jumped up to Ariland. The beautiful scenery made people feel particularly carefree. Usopp was dragged to the island by Zoro, "Can't you let Vivi and I watch the ship together?
"He was still complaining. Everyone gathered on the island, ready to listen to Nami's arrangements. "Listen up, everyone." Nami greeted everyone, and everyone looked at her.
After taking the body, she continued, "This island has no special introduction in the "Grand Line Illustrated Book", so it is inevitable that there may be some dangers. In order to prevent some people from causing unnecessary trouble, I decided that everyone
Let’s explore the island together and get some supplies for the Merry. Any questions?”
"Yes!" Usopp raised his hands and asked, "Why are you making the arrangements?"
"Huh?" Nami hesitated for a moment, then she pulled Luffy aside who was looking around and asked Usopp: "Do you think the arrangement made by such a captain... is credible?"
"...Okay, pretend I didn't ask."
Everyone found a way and walked towards the interior of the island. The small animals that appeared from time to time along the way were the favorites of Xiaolu and Chopper. The two of them ran to the small animals from time to time, one playing with the animals, and the other
Then he asked the animals for useful information. Along the way, Luffy always kept his eyes on those big animals. Seeing how they were crying all over the place, he must be craving for something to eat. Beside Luffy, Zoro and
Sanji was ordered to monitor Luffy to prevent him from doing anything troublesome, but is this useful? Not long after we walked, the scene in front of us suddenly changed, from a scene full of spring to a rustling autumn wind and a deciduous forest.
It also appeared in front of us inexplicably, giving people a strong sense of violation. "It's really strange," Nami carefully felt the changes in the climate around her, and then said to herself in confusion: "Why is this
The local climate suddenly changed, without any form of transition. Climate change, there must be a transition?" As everyone continues to move forward, the climate changes from autumn to winter and summer. When we come
When they arrived at the summer area covered with dragon fruits, Nami was already going crazy. "Ah!" Nami yelled crazily, and then cried out in pain: "What's going on with this island! Why is the climate so messed up?
"!" Luffy ran between the summer and winter areas, jumping left and right: "Ah! It's so cold... ah! It's so hot... ah! It's so cold... ah! It's so hot..."
"Hey!" I greeted everyone, "Let's keep walking and keep walking in a straight line. Maybe we will meet someone or get out of this ghost place." My friends nodded and continued walking forward. However, something strange happened.
, no matter how we walk, the surrounding environment always changes between the four seasons of spring, autumn, winter and summer, and we can never leave this disturbing place.
"Ah! I can't do it anymore!" Usopp leaned against a nearby tree, breathing heavily, "What the hell is going on? The climate is messed up."
"Rest for a while, let's find a way to leave this island..." Zoro greeted everyone, and then sat next to Luffy. "I have a bad feeling, something may be going to happen."
"Have you discovered anything?" Ina came to me and asked me: "What is going on on this island?"
"I don't know. My knowledge and experience are of no use on this island. Now I know why there is no information about this island in the "Great Line Illustrated Book". This is an island that should not be landed at all."
"Hey! Look!" Sanji suddenly pointed in a direction, and then he looked intoxicated and became infatuated, "What a beautiful girl!"
"Are you new to this island?" The girl came to us and looked at us curiously. She should be an innocent girl, with innocence in her big eyes, as if she was not polluted by the world.
Fairy. There was a basket hanging in her hand, which contained various mushrooms, none of which were poisonous. I secretly nodded to Ina, and Ina took away the hand that was pressing on Hedao Yizi, very naturally.
He sat next to me.
"Um... my name is Nami, and we are voyagers. I want to ask, what is going on with this island? Why do the seasons change? And why are we obviously moving in a straight line, but we can't find the way to leave this island?
The road to the island?" Nami took the brunt and ran in front of the girl. On the way, she kicked Sanji aside who was about to step forward to offer love to the girl. The girl glanced at Sanji fearfully, and then cautiously walked towards him.
Nami said: "My name is Aipal, and this island is Four Seasons Island Yaliland. If I remember correctly, you just said that you have been moving in a straight line?"
"Yes!" Behind Nami, Chopper nodded affirmatively.
"Wow! What a cute tanuki!"
"It's a reindeer! One with horns!"
"Actually, you are walking around the center of the island." Aipal lit a fire in the open space in the forest. Luffy and others went to catch some animals nearby. It was inevitable that they would have to walk in the jungle today.
After having a meal, I saw Aipal continue to say: "This island has many strange places. The change of seasons as you know is one of the unsolved mysteries. You always think that you are moving in a straight line, but in fact
But you are circling the center of this island, which is why not many people have been to this island after so long. The last time someone came was more than 20 years ago, and there was a strange guy among them.
, always shouting about One Piece and so on."
"Oh?" Everyone turned their eyes to Luffy unconsciously, and the latter didn't notice. After chewing a large piece of meat, Luffy asked Aipal excitedly: "Is there anything interesting on this island?
What a place!”
"A fun place? If I have to say it, it seems that no one has ever been to the center of the island."
"Oh! Head towards the center of the island!"
"Hey, hey, hey... you have the final say on when on this ship." Usopp looked at Luffy speechlessly, and then murmured to the side, "I have a disease that will kill me if I get close to the center of the island...
…Did any of you hear what I said…”
After eating and drinking, our friends followed Aipal and walked in a certain direction. The road kept turning and turning. I heard Aipal say that although it seemed that the route we took seemed to be winding, in fact what we were doing was...
But we walked in a straight line, what a strange island. After walking for about an hour, we came to a village. The villagers in the village looked at us curiously, but did not get close to us. Aipal
As she said, this is the village where she lives. If she wants to go to the center of the island, this village must be passed by, and she also needs to go home and prepare.
"What a strange village! All the houses are of the same style, and they are all two-story buildings." Xiaolu ran to a high place and looked over. Then she ran to me and said to me: "Brother! From now on.
It would be great if we stopped being pirates and built a house like this!"
"Okay, okay." I touched Xiaolu's little head lovingly and smiled happily.
"Actually, these houses only have one floor." Aipal came from a distance and seemed to have packed up everything. She took us to the center of the island and explained to us on the way: "The first thing you see is
The two-story buildings are actually painted on them and are not real!”
"Huh? Why do you want to draw it?" Sanji asked Aipal strangely.
"Well...I heard from the old people that it was because of a village chief? It seems that there was a strange village chief about a hundred years ago. He wanted to help every household build a two-story house, but he couldn't.
Knowing what to do. After thinking hard to no avail, he painted a second layer on the roof of each house, which was regarded as fulfilling his promise."
"Haha... He is really an interesting village chief. But wouldn't the villagers at that time have any objections?"
"Of course not! Before the village chief came, this island was often attacked by sea kings, and the villagers were miserable. But after the village chief arrived, the people on the island began to have a peaceful life.
Life. Those sea kings that invaded the island from time to time were all driven away by the village chief. The villagers were grateful for the village chief's kindness, and they were very tolerant of some of his bad habits."
"Bad habits? For example..."
"I heard from everyone that the strange village chief always wears a pair of sunglasses and never takes them off even when sleeping. Moreover, the village chief seems to be an alcoholic. Every time he gets drunk, he goes crazy and destroys everything in the village.
Although the village chief himself tried his best to control his alcohol addiction, he seemed to be unable to control it every time. People said that the village chief later moved to the center of the island alone, and no one has seen him since then. This is
The reason why this village still has no village chief."
"Oh? So, if we are lucky, we can still see the village chief?" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, with a look of interest on his face. Is this an illusion? He would actually be interested in killing women.
Interested in other things?
We followed Aipal towards the center of the island until we came to a lake. There was a small wooden house on the shore of the lake. It seemed to be some years old. Some parts of the wooden house had collapsed. It seemed impossible to live in it.
"What! I thought it would be interesting!" Luffy sat on the ground listlessly. He came here with great curiosity, but the result made him very disappointed. Friends
After searching around the lake, nothing was found. The only discovery was that the lake was actually a freshwater lake. In this way, everyone returned to the Mellie and replenished fresh water and water with the help of Aipal.
After eating, we continued sailing towards Alabasta.
"What's wrong with you?" In the orange garden, Ina looked at me who always looked back at Yali Rand, and asked doubtfully: "Did you find something? Is it related to Yali Rand?"
"It's not a discovery? I just remembered that when we searched in the center of the island, we only searched around the lake, but there was one place that we didn't search."
"You mean...do you mean there is something in the lake?"
"Maybe it's my misunderstanding. I think the girl named Aipal may be hiding something, such as the strange village chief she often mentioned. And I think she should also know that there is something strange in the lake, but she doesn't
She is willing to let us discover it, so when we are searching, she always tries to divert our attention and prevent us from connecting the weirdness of this island with the lake. Didn't you notice? Aipal always does it intentionally or unintentionally
Between us and the lake, I think there must be some secrets hidden on this island, in Elpal, or even in that unobtrusive village. Maybe, it is still related to their village.
The secrets related to our long history. Looking back now, the way those villagers looked at us, they must be wary of us?"
"Oh? But if Aipal doesn't want us to know the secret of the center of the island, why take us to that place? Wouldn't it be better to just make up a reason and take us to other places?"
"Do you still remember where we originally rested? I remember Zoro said something at that time. After Zoro said that, Aipal appeared. What a coincidence, isn't it?"
"Zolo? Did he say anything?" Ina tried hard to remember what happened on the island.
"Zolo said that he had a bad premonition... The most effective thing in the world is the samurai's premonition, but Aipal happened to appear at that time. It's all such a coincidence, isn't it? Later Luffy asked
Is there anything interesting about her on Yaliland? She took the opportunity to reveal to us that there was something weird in the center of the island, and took us away from that place. And the mushrooms she brought, although not poisonous, would make us sick.
Brain activity has been disturbed to a certain extent. The evidence is, do you remember the route to the center of the island? Now think about what should have happened in that place after we left. It may be something very scary, otherwise Aipal will use
Enough time to come up with a more decent excuse to lure us away. However, she had no choice but to throw out the secret at the center of the island. This can only show that danger is coming at that time, and even she may be involved.
Danger."
"Then what should we do? Take the boat back and examine the island more carefully?"
"Forget it, life can't be perfect. Wouldn't it be more interesting to keep some secrets buried underground?"
"That's right." Ina nodded casually, then left the orange grove, apparently going to find Xiaolu on the deck. I was alone in the orange grove, thinking about the strange things about that island, especially
That wooden house by the lake. Why, I seemed to find something in that wooden house that impressed me deeply? At that time, I just glanced at it casually, and didn't take it seriously after that. But now that I think about it, what is it?
