On the observation deck, Usopp was looking around with a telescope, looking for the island while also observing the surrounding environment. Once he discovered any unusual phenomenon, he would call Nami loudly. For example, now, he put down

He held the telescope in his hand, and then waved to Nami vigorously and shouted: "Nami! Something's not right up front!" After listening to Usopp's report, Nami went straight to the deck. She first looked into the distance for a while,

Then he told everyone: "Usopp left the helm, Luffy and Sanji went to furl the main sail, Zoro went to furl the triangle sail, Kuina and Xiaolu went to prepare the oars, we will row the boat in a while."

The group of people who were still noisy all started to move after hearing Nami's instructions, turning the helm and furling the sails. Xiaolu and Ina also ran into the cabin, and when they came out they were holding a few sails.

"Guys, let's row!" Xiao Lu greeted everyone cheerfully. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp each took an oar and ran to the side of the boat and rowed hard. Nami

Under the command calmly, Merry bypassed the not-so-calm sea ahead and sailed into the distance into the wind. "Hey! Costa, why didn't you help me just now?" Usopp asked me after crossing the dangerous waters,

Because while everyone was busy, I was lazing around. I looked at Usopp, and then said lazily: "It's not a big deal, aren't there you guys?" "Luffy! How can you treat a guy like this?

It doesn't matter!" Usopp looked helplessly at Luffy, who put on his slightly crooked straw hat, and then said casually: "Such a small thing doesn't matter!" "Luffy!" Usopp looked at it with tears in his eyes.

He looked at him, but Luffy suddenly became excited. He ran to the bow of the boat and threw his head out. When Luffy took his head back, he was laughing: "Nami! I discovered the island.

! Right in front! Let’s go! Hurry, hurry, hurry!” “Hey, hey, I know.” Nami shook her head weakly, looking very helpless towards this crazy captain. In this way, Merry said to Luffy

As we sailed in the direction, a vibrant island gradually came into view.

"It's really strange," Nami looked at the nautical chart in her hand, and then said doubtfully, "Why is there no geographical location of this island on the chart?"

"Why do you care so much," Luffy put up an awning and looked at the island in front of him, and shouted to Usopp impatiently, "Usopp! Move the boat over, I want to go ashore!"

The Melly moved closer to the shore. After Zoro dropped the anchor to secure Melly, everyone jumped onto the island. The island was lush and lush, and you could hear the chirping of birds from the woods. You could also vaguely see it.

There are animals playing in the woods. Everything on the island seems very harmonious. In such an environment, there should be no human beings?

"Listen up!" Nami greeted everyone after they gathered on the island. After everyone came to her side, Nami continued, "Now let me explain what you are going to do. Luffy, Zhuo

Luo, Sanji and Usopp went to look for ingredients, and Xiaolu and Ina accompanied me to measure the island. Does anyone have any questions?"

"Yes!" Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp replied in unison, and then pointed at me with one finger, "What is he doing?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Nami showed her fists expressionlessly, and then...

"Meat!" Luffy yelled, pulling the other three people and running away.

"Is this really okay?" I looked at Nami and asked. Although I was very satisfied with this arrangement, I felt a rare feeling of embarrassment in my heart.

"You can just wander around on this island. You may not be able to complete the tasks given to you anyway, right?" After saying that, Nami smiled naughtily at me and walked away. Xiaolu and Ina walked toward me.

I smiled sheepishly and followed Nami. As for me? Of course I walked aimlessly on the island. If I hadn’t walked in the woods myself, I think I would never have discovered this island.

What’s magical. At first glance, this island is so natural that it’s incredible. After walking inside for a long time, I began to discover some interesting things. For example, there are many types of vegetation on this island.

It's terrible, but next to every pine tree, I can always find a stone. Although these stones are different in size and location, even the stone itself may be the kind of thing that people can't remember.

It looks like a stone, but every stone is like a guide, leading me to a mysterious place. The most puzzling thing about this place is that everything is surprisingly big. Whether it is a towering ancient tree or a

The flower stamens that are much larger than a human fist, or the endless lake, or the leaves the size of a Mellie floating on the water, everything shows that this island is unusual.

The most unusual thing is probably the old man floating on the lake on a blade.

The old man's senses are very sensitive, and he spotted me the first time I came to this place. This is an old man with white hair and beard. The deep wrinkles on his forehead are like the annual rings of trees, which can reveal his facial features.

Age. His eyes are not deep, but they are full of energy. It seems that he was also a very energetic and active guy when he was young. He casually wrapped a beige thick coat around his body. This dress not only

It did not affect his overall temperament, but combined with his gray beard and hair, it made him look more fairy-like. The old man jumped from the floating leaves to the shore. He first looked at me on the spot, and then

He walked towards me. The iron-clad character he displayed while walking made me dare not look down on him at all.

After he walked up to me, he circled around me first, then stood still in front of me and asked me: "No one has been to this place for nearly 20 years, how did you find it?"

"

"This is actually not difficult. As long as you can find the relationship between pine trees and stones, you can naturally find this place. Can I ask first, old man, who are you?"

"Haha, I'm just an ordinary old man. I'm here just to protect some things."

"The old man is really honest. Aren't you afraid that I will knock you unconscious and take away what you are protecting?"

"The old man has seen countless people. Who is good and who is bad is just a matter of one glance. Although you don't look very good, I can still see the righteousness in you."

"I... don't look very good?... This damn old man..." I kept cursing in my heart, but I pretended to be extremely natural on my face. After calming down my mood, I continued to say

He asked: "You said you were protecting something on this island, can I see what you are protecting? I know it sounds very rude, but I am really curious. Is there anything that can protect you?"

Let you, an old man, stay on this island without any regrets."

The old man looked at me in surprise for a while, then turned around and walked in one direction. "If you dare to give up your fifty years of life, come with me."

I followed the old man, constantly crossing some obstacles along the way, and finally came to a surprisingly big flower. This flower was really big. Look at the stamens, they were even as big as a one-year-old child.

The flower path was bent because it could not bear the weight of the flower, causing the flower to lie flat on the ground. People can see the core of the flower just by standing on the ground. There is a strange door at the core of the flower, which is alone.

It stood there, not connected to anything around it.

"Is what you are guarding the thing behind this door?" I walked up to the old man and asked him after carefully looking at this strange door.

"Yes, that's it." The old man nodded, and then advised me, "I'm not threatening you. Not everyone can open this door. A guy once went in, but when he came out, only

You have the next two years of your life. So you’d better think carefully before making a decision.”

"Why is it so troublesome? Wherever I want to go, no one can stop me." After saying that, I walked towards the door. When my hand first touched the doorknob, I actually felt that the doorknob felt like

It was like extracting something from my body through my hands. "It's really a restless place." After opening the door, there was a mist inside, and nothing could be seen. I took a few steps forward and walked in.

I entered the space behind the door, and the door behind me also closed consciously, as if I was afraid that people outside would see something. The fog gradually dissipated after the door was closed. When the fog disappeared in this strange space, I

Only then was I able to take a look at everything in this space.

The first thing that catches the eye is a round platform with some miscellaneous things placed on it. On the surface, it seems that the things on the round platform were carefully arranged by someone, but later they were all messed up for unknown reasons.

There are some complex patterns engraved around the round platform, which are as difficult to understand as the characters of ancient nations. There are some unfamiliar characters engraved on the surrounding walls. These characters are arranged according to certain rules, laying out the entire wall in the space.

It was densely packed. On the top of the round platform, a strange lamp hung from the roof, and the light glowed with a faint green light. Even a murderous person like me would have a creepy feeling after seeing this lamp. I shook my head.

I shook my head to wake myself up, and then walked towards the most eye-catching circular platform in the space. The things on the circular platform were very messy, including gold, emerald, coral, seaweed and even some things I couldn't name, but somehow I

But I realized that these things should be arranged according to a certain pattern, but I just didn’t know it. After searching around on the round platform, my eyes were finally attracted to a puppet. At first glance, this puppet didn’t look like anything.

It is an attractive place, but if you look carefully, you can find a thin red thread on the neck of the puppet. Originally, the head and body of the puppet were separated, but later the head and body were connected together with a red thread.

This is really a very strange puppet. Since it was connected, why did it need to be broken in the first place? And it was in such a strange place. I put the puppet back in its place, then stood up and looked around for a while.

After confirming that there was nothing else noteworthy about this place, I left this mysterious space.

I gently closed the door behind me and walked towards the old man. After leaving that door, I actually felt a sense of relief.

"How about it? Is there anything in it that can attract you?" the old man asked me after I came to him.

"No. Old man, why don't you go in and have a look?"

"Haha! Young man, you don't have a good heart!" The old man smiled relievedly, and then said, "Do you think I can get out even at my age?"

"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't expect this."

"Forget it, it's nothing. But I'm very curious, what is there that can attract you to go in, even if you know that the price is fifty years of life. This is true for you, and so is he."

"he?"

"Like you, he is also a man who gave up fifty years of his life to walk through this door."

"So, I'm not the first person to come to this place?"

"About twenty years ago, a man found this place just like you. Like you, he walked through that door. When he came out, I diagnosed him. At that time I told

He, he only has two years to live. But he said he can do a lot of things in two years. What a strange man."

"It seems I'm not the only weirdo in this world. Well, I'm leaving. I guess all my friends are tired of waiting for me."

"Haha, you don't need me to diagnose you and see how long you can live?"

"Forget it, my fate is up to me."

Saying goodbye to the old man, I walked towards the place where the Melly was parked. When I stepped on the Melly, I found that everyone except me had already boarded the ship.

"It's so slow, Costa." Luffy complained to me while eating a large piece of ham.

"Don't worry about this kind of thing. By the way, did you find anything on this island?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the sea map is a little difficult to draw." Nami came to my side and said to me, "This island is very strange. It has different effects when viewed from different angles. But fortunately, I can handle it.

.”

"And it's strange, there aren't any carnivores on this island." Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"Well, these may be the mysteries of this island. Nami, where is the next stop?" After listening to everyone's description of this island, I changed the topic to the next island.

"Rogue Town."

"Ah! Rogge Town, is it the place called the 'Place of the Beginning and the End'?" Usopp suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Yes, that is a big town. It can be said that it is the largest supply station before entering the Grand Channel. We can find everything we want in that place!" Nami nodded from Usopp, and then said excitedly

.

"So I can buy a knife at that place?" Zoro said thoughtfully.

"I'd like to see if there are any ingredients I need."

"None of this is important to me. Guina, Xiaolu, where should we go shopping?"

"Okay, let's buy some good clothes for Sister Yina. I'm tired of wearing this samurai uniform all the time."

"But I am a swordsman. What should I wear if I don't wear a samurai uniform?"
