One Piece: The Long Road

Vol 4 Chapter 2: Encounter

The great waterway is very big. The information about the Straw Hats’ defeat of Crocodile has returned to calm after a splash in various places. Simon, who has sailed alone for a month, has no money at all, so the seagull who delivered the newspaper gave Simon a disdainful look. He flapped his wings and flew away. In the absence of newspapers, Simon could not get any information from the outside world at all, so this month, it was considered a world isolated from the rest of the world.

Still training under the scorching sun, silently waving the jet-black epee without an edge, making a piercing sound.

On the calm sea, the rain-making boat was breaking the waves forward. The sails on the main pole were slightly worn, and the various railings on the deck were also slightly damaged. Simon could not count the number of storms that he had experienced this month. , the rain-making ship, which is of poor quality itself, is turning into dilapidation.

“call.”

Standing on the deck, Simon, who had completed today’s training, exhaled deeply. Under the sunlight, his skin was extremely hot, and the sweat all over his body was very uncomfortable. A little white light reflected on his bronzed skin. .

Putting the epee on the deck full of sores, Simon raised his feet and walked towards the bow, looking forward as always.

“Um?”

Contrary to Simon’s expectations, a black spot suddenly appeared in the line of sight that has always been on the horizon for a month. Simon was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Finally, he met a living person!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At sea, a medium-sized merchant ship is sailing at full speed.

“How long will it take to get to Ice Iceland?”

In the captain’s room, a fat middle-aged man looked at the empty sea in front of him and asked. There seemed to be a hint of unnoticeable worry between his brows.

The man at the helm was a tall, bald young man, wearing only a white vest on his upper body, revealing his breasts. The man was wearing a single-type black eye patch slantingly over his left eye, and there was an obvious scar on the corner of his mouth. I didn’t write the words “I am a pirate” on his face. In fact, this young man is not a pirate, but a captain of a merchant ship.

“Ah.”

Serak let out a low whimper, his hand at the helm didn’t move at all, he glanced sideways at the middle-aged man who was a dead fat man in his heart, and sighed: “Dear Sir Johnny, in this short ten minutes, You’ve asked this no less than ten times, but I think if you want to know how long it will take you to get to Iceland, you just need to subtract ten minutes from the time I told you at the beginning.”

The corner of Jonny’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard the words, and he was very dissatisfied with Serak’s tone and attitude, but the shrewdness he had trained in the shopping mall for many years made it not show a trace on his face at all.

Jonny rubbed his hands, smiled embarrassedly, and after hiding the dissatisfaction in his eyes perfectly, he explained with a smile, “You know, it’s been more than half a year since I left Iceland, for this return flight, I But I’m in a hurry.” As he spoke, a smile appeared on Jonny’s face, and he asked softly, “Is the speed of the merchant ship the fastest now? Could it be faster?”

“Hmph, what a hypocritical and disgusting person.”

Serak looked straight ahead, listened to Jonny’s words, snorted coldly in his heart, and said lightly: “This is already the fastest speed.”

A look of disappointment flashed across Jonny’s face when he heard the words, and then the worry in his eyes became heavier.

Although Serak stared straight ahead, Johnny’s face changed in his eyes, and he felt disdain in his heart. Isn’t it just a notorious pirate group behind his butt? Anyway, you have also paid a lot of money to invite many famous bounty hunters. Thinking so, Serak picked up a communicator similar to a microphone and asked plainly: “Yado, is there any situation? ?”

The calculation of time has long been known in his heart, and every five minutes, Serak would ask Yado, who was watching on the deck, if he had noticed anything.

Serak’s voice just fell, and a cold voice came from the microphone: “No pirates have been found for the time being, but the wind direction seems to have changed a little, and it will not affect the navigation in the next three hours.”

“Understood.”

Serak hung up the microphone without looking at Jonny, and took the helm attentively.

On the side, Jonny, who was rubbing his hands unconsciously, suddenly let out a soft breath when he heard the words, and the worry between his eyes suddenly faded.

“There are more than fifty minutes… It’s fast, as long as it is more than fifty minutes, I will be safe.”

Johnny lowered his head, the glimmer of light in his eyes overflowed, and he thought silently in his heart.

After the merchant ship sailed safely for a few minutes, a slightly hurried voice suddenly came from the microphone hanging next to the helm: “Captain Serak, there is a pirate ship ahead at nine o’clock.”

As soon as the voice fell, Serak was stunned, and his eyes slowly became sharp, ahead? Then it won’t be a pirate group chasing us, but after all, they are pirates. If the comers are not good, it will be a big trouble…

Johnny, who lowered his head and didn’t know what he was thinking, suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, his expression changed drastically, only the word pirate was in his ears, his lips trembled slightly, his heart was pounding, and he didn’t hear what Yado said. talk.

Serak’s hand at the helm was still steady, and after glancing at Johnny, whose expression changed drastically, he picked up the microphone and asked, “Notify all the bounty hunters in the cabin to come out on the deck to stand by, now the time counts against every second, not because of the unknown sea ahead. The thieves waste a lot of time, if you can…” Serak’s mouth shook with a cold smile, “Kill the opponent instantly.”

On the observation deck of the merchant ship, Yaduo picked up the binoculars and cast his gaze coldly on the ship with the pirate flag. He only saw a shirtless young man standing on the deck with a smile on his face. Only A pirate ship? Moreover, that pirate ship was too embarrassing.

Yaduo suppressed his doubts, picked up the microphone and reported in a cold voice: “I will immediately notify the bounty hunter to stand by, but it seems that there is only one person on the other side.”

In the captain’s room, when he heard Yado’s words, Serak was stunned. There is only one pirate? Then there seems to be no problem.

“It’s okay to have one, ten or a hundred. All in all, you can’t waste your precious time because of this pirate. Just follow the original plan. I remember there was a sniper among the bounty hunters, right?”

“learn.”

Adomi narrowed his eyes and replied lightly.

Direct sniping from a distance? pretty good.

Simon, who was standing on the Baroque rain-making ship, saw the ship that was slightly blurred in his sight, and his calm personality couldn’t help but cause a ripple, and he hadn’t seen a living person for a month.

Putting on his clothes, Simon picked up his heavy sword and looked at the ship in the distance with a smile on his face. He didn’t expect that the main pole of the ship he was riding was hanging on the main pole, but it represented the sea of sin. Thief Banner.

The sun is still hot, dazzling and bright, shining on the handsome face with a smile, it is really shining, but for some reason, that smile suddenly stiffened.

Simon’s eyes twitched slightly as he stared at the front, his head tilted to the left very quickly, only to feel a strong wind passing by his cheek, and his originally slightly happy expression instantly cooled down, and the epee in his hand suddenly moved towards the front. Six swords were drawn in the air.

Just listening to the sound of the six clangs, where the epee blade was drawn, six sparks burst out.

“The visitor is not good…”

Simon slowly lowered his nameless epee and stared coldly at the merchant ship in front of him. He couldn’t understand why the other party attacked him for no reason, and it was still a sniper from a long distance. These seven rounds of bullets will only lead to a certain death.

In the distance ~www.readwn.com~, a blond young man half-squatting on the bow of the merchant ship held a long gun with a distinctive shape. After the bullet was fired, there was a moment of silence under the attention of dozens of bounty hunters behind. Afterwards, he slowly put down the spear, stood up, and turned around slowly, his expression was quite serious, he glanced at the famous bounty hunters, and the blond young man said solemnly, “It’s not good. What a ruthless character to be with.”

The expressions of many bounty hunters did not change in the slightest when they heard the words. They all silently looked towards the black-spot-like pirate ship ahead, thinking in their hearts that it was the order from the employer.

“Bomb the opponent as quickly as possible!”

－－－－－－－－－

“What, did you see it?”

At the bow of a pirate ship, a strong man with a height of more than three meters asked in a rough voice with his back to the many pirates with even and steady breaths behind him.

“Not yet, but at the speed of our ship, it only takes five minutes to see the target, and fifteen minutes to complete contact.”

As soon as the strong man’s words fell, there was a faint response from the observation platform. It was a young man with a black and red pattern painted on both sides of his cheeks.

“Really…” The three-meter strong man turned around abruptly and raised his head. His dark face was full of vertical and horizontal scars, and he was terrifying. In his bull-eyed pupils, a cruel light shone. Coldly said: “Little ones, prepare to harvest delicious fruits, let me see the feast of blood blooming.”

“oh oh!”

As soon as the strong man’s words fell, the many pirates on the deck exuded a strong murderous aura, and responded loudly. Looking at those pirates, at a glance, they were all extraordinary people. Just talking about the strong murderous aura, you would know that these Pirates are elite pirates who have come from the **** storm.
