Chapter 482 Porusalino: If Something Is Broken, Just Knock It, and It Will Be Repaired!
"Hee hee, this is simply a blast!"
"Hey, hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear this, Luffy! The Merry's Super Wind Cannon is the best and the most unique!"
The conversation between Luffy and Franky, who was standing on the deck of the Golden Merrie, made Abis, who was so frightened just now, open her eyes - even though it was carrying Grandpa Long and several of them, the huge truck was still stable. Floating steadily on the sea.
"Well, I mean feeling, feeling..."
"Luffy! What an amazing battle!"
Luffy scratched his head and explained, while Chopper looked very impressed and dropped the rope excitedly. Abis looked at the people on the deck, then looked at Luffy, Sanji and Nami who were still in the truck.
"I...we succeeded?"
"That's it! Ahaha!" Luffy laughed and raised his thumbs, while Nami and Sanji gasped.
Grandpa Long didn't know what happened, he just slapped the sea water with his tail.
"Chase! Don't let the pirates escape!"
On the cliff of Battleship Island, the chaotic navy looked at the Golden Merli with a truck mounted on the stern, and began to move in a chaotic manner.
When Luffy saw this, he was very excited and announced loudly: "Okay! Kids! Let's set sail towards the Lost Island!"
But it's a pity that no one on the crew gave him face——
"Please, we don't know where the Lost Island is yet!" Sanji said angrily, "General Porusalino just gave us the method."
"Well, but my intuition tells me it's over there! Ah, no, maybe it's over here... Well, it seems like..."
"Luffy! It's too casual to be so aimless!"
Chopper couldn't help but complain.
But uncharacteristically, Nami favored Luffy's opinion: "In any case, whether it's using Grandpa Long's instinct or relying on our intuition, the Lost Island is not on the chart anyway... In short, let's start with Sail with the wind and ask the wind as you go!”
"Wow! Nami who asked Feng is so handsome!"
"Hey, Nami, I'll give you a bite of meat later. Take back those cool words and let me, the captain, do the talking!"
"Idiot! Who wants a bite of your meat!"
The Golden Merry, carrying six pirates, a girl, and a legendary dragon, raised its sails confidently, leaving Battleship Island behind.
"The destination is, the legendary island!"
…
"Hang it up, hang it up! Move a little more this way."
"Wrong! It's this way."
"Hey! Where are the people from the materials team?"
On the back side of the warship island, sailors were repairing the damaged mast on the warship.
"A group of pirates actually broke the mast of the warship. It really damages the name of the navy!"
Captain Eric stood on the deck, looking at Major Hardy's back and said. The warship with its damaged mast was wandering in the harbor, watching helplessly as Luffy and his crew's pirate ship followed the wind and sailed away along the sea.
"Eric...what was the monster that the pirates took away?"
"Millennium Dragon."
"ah!?"
"Those guys didn't hesitate to make enemies of the navy, and even took risks to escape from the island, just for this thousand-year dragon and its keel... Do you know why?"
"Do they already have clues? About the lost island that sank to the bottom of the sea a long time ago, and the Dragon's Nest on that island!"
"The details are not clear, but it is most likely correct... These pirates probably want to bring this thousand-year-old dragon back to the Dragon's Nest, and then monopolize the dragon's nest's keel and the treasure of the Lost Island. "
"Then it will be difficult to find them if we don't pursue them immediately! And if they change the situation..."
"Don't worry, Major, let's go for a swim and rest now! If my guess is correct, these guys can be our guides...and didn't you notice? We should have arrived at the warship at this time Our Lieutenant General Nelson of the island, he is still..."
A sound of "Woo" sounded, interrupting Captain Eric's speech. A black shadow flashed above the two of them. Major Hardy looked up into the air: "This is...!"
"Look, our Lieutenant General Nelson also plans to let this so-called Luffy and his gang be his guides..."
Eric smiled maliciously and entered the cabin from the deck.
Click, click, click... The brisk sound of the typewriter sounded, and a report was being typed in the communications room.
"Is this a report to be sent back to Lieutenant General Nelson?"
Eric picked up the manuscript that he was about to fax to Lieutenant General Nelson. The signal soldier was stunned for a moment, and the telex bug also raised his head because the manuscript paper he was about to send was suddenly taken away, and looked at Eric with confused eyes.
"All communications to Lieutenant General Nelson must be approved by me. In other words, if the news that we are just a little bit close to success reaches his ears, you will be the first to be executed."
"But, but..."
"This is also the major's order, get out of here!"
Eric raised his hand gently, and the signal soldier trembled with fear and fled from the room. The telex insect also felt Eric's murderous intent, and crawled slowly to prepare to escape.
However--
boom!
On the table, the shell with the words GR-173 branch cracked.
"Since you plan to act behind the scenes and act as the only beneficiary, then be prepared to know nothing about the front-line intelligence, Lieutenant General... Which seabird was the fish eaten by? Let us Let’s wait and see!”
Eric sneered and wiped away the telex bug slime that splashed on his face with a handkerchief.
…
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The food is ready!"
When Abis walked onto the deck of the Golden Merry with a cauldron in her arms, Nami, Zoro, Franky and Chopper at the stern all had expressions of disbelief.
"Hey, it's time to eat!"
"...Hey, Curly Eyebrow, you cooked today's meal, right?"
Seeing Sanji who came out a little later, Zoro's expression became slightly better, but the tone of his words... the most arrogant tone when asking for help, was very strong.
"I helped too!"
Abis puffed her little face into a bun shape, "And, this is Grandpa Long's share!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and disappeared from the stern of the boat.
The day after escaping from Battleship Island, the weather was very nice.
A group of flying fish also moved forward with the Golden Merli, and the flying fish that looked like wings accompanied them. The number was too large to be counted. Occasionally they jumped up with the ship, and occasionally they swam forward beyond the bow of the ship, following them for more than a hundred meters.
"Hello!"
Luffy on the truck shouted to his companions on the boat.
The truck Grandpa Long was riding in was connected to the boat with several ropes. Just like when he was lying in a cave, he curled up his body into a ball, put his head on top of his tail, and watched blankly from time to time. The sea where flying fish emerge.
Why does he look like Grandpa Boku... so thought Abis.
"It seems like Grandpa Long fell asleep again!"
"But after finally making the meal, you must eat it while it's hot."
"Oh! Is the meal ready?" Luffy thought it was his share, and instantly jumped up from the truck, accurately took the cauldron from Abis's hand, and then dropped it down again steadily.
but……
"So, so hot!"
"You idiot! How can you pick up the pressure cooker you just took out with your bare hands!"
Although Sanji rushed over here as soon as possible, it was still too late. The cauldron was thrown up by Luffy, turned somersault in the air, and hit Grandpa Long's head with sparse feathers.
Bang!
"...?"
Although Grandpa Long's reaction was slow, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and sighed heavily.
"Franky, get the burn medicine from the restaurant quickly!"
"Chopper, does the burn medicine also work on dragons?"
"This is the special secret recipe of Doctor Gulewa. It is effective for all Neptunes!"
"Chopper! I want to apply medicine too!"
"Chopper! Luffy wiped it last! He actually wasted the food!"
Sanji was so angry that he almost chewed the filter of his cigarette to pieces. The poor captain could only desperately shake his burned hands - he was still a capable person and could not put his hands into the sea water so close to cool down and relieve the pain.
Abis grabbed the rope and slid down: "I'm so sorry! Grandpa Long, are you okay?"
She quickly went to get the big pot on Grandpa Long's head and cleaned up the food spilled on it.
Grandpa Long sighed again.
"Great, I just feel a little hot..."
Suddenly, Grandpa Long opened his eyes and looked at Abis. This was a sign of what he wanted to say to Abis.
"What's wrong? Abis?"
Luffy, who had suffered his retribution, picked up the pot and turned to look at Abis.
"Take it just now...Grandpa Long seems to have remembered something!"
Grandpa Long raised his head slightly and said something to Abis.
"What did it say?"
"The Lost Island...the Lost Island with the Dragon's Nest is in the direction of the sun rising on Battleship Island!"
"That place is Grandpa Long's hometown!"
"Grandpa Long said he remembered it!"
Abis and Luffy nodded to each other and cheered loudly with joy: "No wonder General Porusalino said that whether it's a machine or a human head, if it's broken, you can just knock it and it will be cured!"
"It turns out that Lost Island is to the east of Battleship Island! Grandpa Long really remembered it!"
Abis and Luffy shouted to Nami and the others on the deck.
"...Franky, go and turn the helm!"
"no problem!"
"Zoro and Sanji go trim the sails!"
"Leave it to us!"
"Chopper goes to contact General Polusalino! Ask him to change the destination!"
"good!"
Under Nami's command, the Golden Mellie quickly changed its course, towing the truck and raft, and headed in another direction.
but--
"What's the matter, Abis? Does Grandpa Long want to say something else?"
"No, it's Feiyu."
"By the way! There were a lot of flying fish flying just now!"
Luffy looked at the sea, and the flying fish that was so active just now suddenly disappeared.
Abis heard the sound of the flying fish. It turned out that there was something dangerous in the sky, so they dived down. Looking up, there is a dark shadow in the middle of the sun. The flying fish dive into the water because they are afraid of that.
A huge seabird circled leisurely in the sky and flew in the opposite direction to the ship.
(Flying away without leaving anything behind...)
"Hey! No matter what, let's head towards the Lost Island at full speed!" Luffy said loudly.
Although Abis always felt that there was something wrong with the seabird just now, she became happy again because she remembered what Grandpa Long remembered about the location of the Lost Island, and she put her uneasiness behind her.
…
"came back……"
Captain Eric looked from the deck toward the southeast sky.
A big bird spread its wings and flew over, circled a few times above the mast, and landed on the side of the ship.
"Alec!"
"It's the Major! The scout bird just came back."
Eric took something from under the big black bird's neck.
The scout bird is a giant bird with a wingspan of more than two meters. It is a special migratory bird that lives in many places along the Grand Line. Like phone bugs, since they can get food from humans, they begin to actively help humans do some work. If flying at full speed, their speed can even reach hundreds of kilometers per hour, which is quite astonishing.
At the same time, they also contain a magnetic sensor in their bodies, which allows them to fly in the correct direction whether it is day or night. The Navy uses this bird as a reconnaissance tool.
Therefore, whether it is Nami or Sanji, even Zoro and Franky, who are relatively estranged from the navy, can actually recognize these birds whenever they see them.
But unfortunately, the people in the group who noticed this bird were Abis, a girl who knew very little about the navy, and Luffy, who had basically returned all theoretical knowledge about the navy to General Zefa.
Major Hardy personally brought the camera removed from the reconnaissance bird into the document room on the ship - tens of minutes later, the photos developed clearly showed the camera pulling the raft carrying the Millennium Dragon. Pirate ship.
"Sailing east."
The scout bird picked up a pen in his beak and started drawing on the open chart.
"What was the purpose of sailing southeast in the first place?"
"It's to disguise the course. Huh, use what you learned at the Navy Headquarters to deal with us? How can it be useful!"
Eric threw a large piece of grilled fish to the scout bird. The scout bird immediately picked up the grilled fish, flew out of the window, and ate leisurely while standing on the top of the mast.
"Anyway, we can start the pursuit, Major. Those guys are pulling such a big dragon behind the boat, so their speed will definitely drop a lot. And our battleship will cooperate with my ability."
"I understand...immediately adjust course to the east!"
Major Hardy excitedly issued an order to his subordinates, "Starting now, this ship will pursue the pirate group Luffy and his gang! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
