Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 138 Heavy Snow, Black Smoke, and the Vanished Companions

[Series on the title page]

In a deserted café, Sarah, a former member of the Baroque Works and now the café owner, is wiping cups behind the counter.

In the very center of the café, on a round table, two cups of coffee, long since cooled, sat quietly.

Bensam sat in a chair on the inner side of the room, gazing out the window.

Outside the window, the setting sun dipped below the horizon, and a tall figure walked further and further away, his shadow stretching longer and longer on the ground.

After a thrilling battle, Sanji quickly made a warm and comforting millet and oat porridge, solving everyone's breakfast problem.

Nami, dressed in a thick cotton coat, watched the light snow falling heavier and heavier, feeling a little puzzled.

"That's strange, why isn't the snow stopping? Have we entered some kind of special sea area?"

This was the first time she had ever encountered snow at sea, and for such a long time, which puzzled her.

"Don't you know?"

Not far from her, Robin looked at her with some surprise.

"Don't know? Don't know what?" Nami looked bewildered.

Seeing her blank look, Robin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you know that every island in the Grand Line has its own climate? Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Islands with spring as the main season are called Spring Islands, islands with summer as the main season are called Summer Islands, and so on."

"Like Alabasta before, it was a summer island."

"The climate of the waters surrounding these islands is also similar to that of the islands themselves; that is to say, the closer you get to the island, the more similar the climate will be to that of the island."

Nami opened her mouth slightly, and being always quick-witted, she immediately understood Robin's meaning. She then said, "You mean we've entered the waters of a winter island, which is why it's been snowing so much?"

"That's right." Robin smiled slightly.

"I see. Thank you for telling me this, Robin." Nami nodded thoughtfully.

But then she frowned: "But we should still have a day or two of flight time, how come we're arriving at our destination so soon?"

She took out the permanent compass she carried with her and found that they were sailing in the correct direction.

In other words, they are indeed about to arrive in Xia's country?

As the ship sped forward, the outline of an island soon came into view in the distance.

In the distance, they saw a snow-white mountain rising abruptly from the ground, like the horn of a unicorn, standing proudly on the island.

"Yo-ho! Here I come to the martial arts tournament!"

Wukong excitedly went to the bow of the ship, leaned on the railing, and looked expectantly at the island that was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Will he be able to find Master Roshi and Krillin soon?

Nami, Sanji, and Robin stood behind him, also gazing at the island.

As for Pupu, it was on the second floor, steering the ship's rudder.

As the island became clearer, everyone's expressions changed, revealing doubt and surprise.

"There's so much black smoke over there, is it on fire?"

Wukong opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the billowing black smoke rising from the island.

"It looks like a town, and it really does look like it's on fire."

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, nodded.

"Let's go take a look; the dock is over there too."

Nami said calmly, then instructed Pupu to adjust the direction and steer the boat toward the dock.

Waves gently lapped against the wooden posts at the edge of the pier, splashing water that then turned into tiny white ice crystals that fell into the sea.

"It's so cold here."

Nami wrapped her cotton coat tighter around herself, and as she spoke, a wisp of white vapor appeared in front of her face, but quickly disappeared.

By this time, they had already docked the ship at the pier, and everyone except Robin, who stayed behind, had disembarked.

Besides them, there were many other boats moored there, but there were hardly any people around, making it seem rather deserted.

As Nami walked towards the town entrance, she glanced around, her pupils suddenly contracting slightly.

"That's a pirate ship?!"

On the other side of the dock, a pirate ship was quietly moored among many fishing boats, so much so that they had not noticed it before.

On the pirate ship, a pirate flag fluttered in the wind, seemingly exerting an invisible deterrent effect on the surroundings.

"This pattern... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." Nami stared at the pattern on the pirate flag, her brows furrowed, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it before.

She turned around and saw that Goku had already rushed into the town ahead of everyone else, with Pupu and Sanji following behind. Without thinking twice, she followed them as well.

On the Dream Chaser, Robin, who used her Devil Fruit powers to investigate the dock and the surrounding area, muttered to herself, "I never expected to encounter this group of pirates here."

She glanced at the boat, then stared at the town ahead, where only a thin wisp of black smoke remained.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he decided not to stay on the ship, but jumped off and headed towards the town.

In the town, Wukong, dressed very warmly, was strolling down the street, looking around with a strange expression. "Huh? Why can't I see a single person?"

The street was deserted, with only the whistling of the cold wind.

Snowflakes, resembling glutinous rice balls, fell continuously from the sky, covering the streets, rooftops, and everywhere else that could fall in a white coat.

As far as the eye can see, it is almost entirely a vast expanse of white.

"Wow! Wow!"

Pupu followed closely behind Wukong, looking around with curiosity and excitement, and even rolling around in the snow.

Having lived in a desert country for generations, it has never even seen snowflakes, let alone heavy snow.

It was already very curious when it saw snow on the ship before, but compared to the magnificent snow scene now, the snow scene on the ship before was nothing.

No wonder it's now behaving with even more excitement and agitation.

"Is it because it's too cold that everyone's staying indoors?"

Sanji, with his hands in his pockets, was also observing the situation on the street.

He discovered that the houses along the street were all completely covered by curtains, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"No, I think the reason they haven't come out is because pirates have arrived."

Nami, who hurriedly caught up with them, solemnly reminded them.

"I just spotted a pirate ship at the dock, so there must be pirates here. We'd better be careful."

"Pirates?" Sanji was taken aback.

At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the scene in front of them, and their pupils all contracted slightly.

To their left and in front of them was a cluster of charred, blackened ruins of houses.

The ruins stretched for hundreds of meters, so you can imagine how many houses were affected.

The burning wood emitted wisps of black smoke, floated into the air, and then seemed to attract each other and gather together.

However, with the soothing effect of the heavy snow, the wood emitting black smoke was gradually covered, and the black smoke became less and less.

It is conceivable that before long, this place will be completely covered by heavy snow, and no trace of the ruins will be visible anymore.

Wukong and his two companions stopped there, frowning as they examined the scene for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, this was most likely caused by the pirates." A look of disgust flashed across Nami's face.

"If that's the case, I'll teach them a lesson and make them apologize to the homeowner!" Wukong said, frowning.

Sanji didn't offer any insights, but instead scanned the surrounding area, trying to see if there was anything else unusual.

But when he was scanning the data, he suddenly paused, because he realized that they seemed to be missing a partner.

"Hmm? Where's Pupu?"
