Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 144 The Rumors

At Batya's home in Xuefeng Town.

"Hahaha! Ah Huang, stop licking me, hahaha!"

Batya's nephew, Baka, was having a great time playing with his lost and found pet dog, Ah Huang.

Ah Huang wagged its tail wildly and licked Baka's face enthusiastically, making Baka giggle.

Seeing Ah Huang, their new friend, so happy, Pu Pu couldn't help but smile too.

"Here, this is our Xuefeng Island's unique honey black tea, please have a taste."

Batya came over carrying a plate and placed it on the table next to the fireplace.

On the plate were five cups of steaming hot tea, the color of which resembled rubies.

Nami, who was sitting by the fireplace to warm herself, lit up when she heard this. After thanking him, she picked up her cup and took a small sip.

"Mmm! It tastes great!"

Sanji and Robin each picked up their cups, took a sip, and their eyes lit up.

"It's really good. The tea flavor is quite mellow, with a unique sweetness from honey. It's a very special taste."

Pupu also tentatively picked up the cup and took a small sip, just like them. Instantly, her two round, black pearl-like eyes narrowed with happiness.

Wukong looked left and right, scratched his face, and asked, "Is it really that good? The tea I drank last time was so bitter it made my tongue go numb."

"Haha, young man, you'll see once you try it. Our tea is definitely not bitter."

Batya stood with his hands on his hips and smiled, the scar on his face showing no trace of ferocity at this moment.

"Yes, yes, it really tastes good, Wukong."

Upon hearing Nami's enthusiastic recommendation, Goku blinked and finally picked up the cup, taking a careful sip.

Then he smacked his lips, his eyes lighting up: "It really is!"

He happily took another big gulp, then scalded himself and stuck out his tongue: "Ha—ha—it's so hot!"

"Hahaha! Drink slowly, Wukong!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

After inviting these benefactors who had helped them defeat their powerful enemy to tea, Batia sat down and said, "You want to go to Xia's Country, right? I don't know much about this country, but I asked the old people in town before, and they said that this country is not far from our Snow Peak Island. It may only take a day or two to get there."

Nami nodded and smiled, "I already guessed it. If this isn't Char's Country, then the journey to Char's Country is just as I estimated."

While sipping his tea, Goku asked curiously, "Hey, Nami, if this isn't Char's country, why are we here?"

Nami smiled and took out the permanent pointer that pointed to Char's country from her bosom, showing it to Goku.

"Ta-da! This is the reason."

Goku leaned closer to take a look, and after a few seconds, he asked in bewilderment, "What's the reason? I can't figure it out, Nami."

"fool!"

Nami laughed and scolded, pointing at the permanent pointer and saying, "Look at this pointer. If we arrive at Char's country, this pointer will become disordered because we have reached our destination, that is, it will spin randomly everywhere."

"But look at it now, it's still pointing in a direction, which means we haven't reached Xia's country yet. And look, isn't the direction it's pointing in on the island?"

"Mmm." Wukong nodded.

"That's the reason. This island happens to be on our flight path to Char's Kingdom, which is why we passed through here."

After Nami explained, Goku finally understood: "Oh, I see."

On the dock.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer? I haven't taken you to a natural hot spring on the snow-capped peak yet. Soaking in a hot spring there is a rare treat."

"And it can also improve the skin, making it better."

Batia, exhaling white breath, tried to persuade Goku and the others to stay.

Nami and Robin were both very tempted, after all, what girl doesn't want her skin to look better?

Robin didn't agree, and Nami shook her head as well: "Never mind, we're in a hurry, so we won't stay any longer. When we have the chance to come here again, you can treat us to a hot spring."

The time that Cobra told them about the martial arts tournament was only a general date; he didn't know the exact day.

Therefore, their time is very tight, and they want to arrive as soon as possible to avoid finding that the martial arts tournament has already started or ended when they arrive in Xia's country.

Batya didn't try to stop them, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay, then I'll wait for your next visit. Next time, I'll definitely treat you to a good time here!"

Goodbye, Uncle!

Wukong jumped onto the boat, waving goodbye with a grin.

As the sails were raised, the Dream Chaser slowly sailed away from Xuefeng Island, propelled by the wind, heading towards its true destination.

Half a day later, several naval warships arrived at Snow Peak Island and took away all the members of the Kid Pirates except for Kid.

A few days later, the World Economic News suddenly published a news article:

Shocking! A newly risen supernova has been utterly destroyed, and its entire pirate crew has been wiped out. Who could have done this?!

In an instant, discussions and rumors spread like wildfire throughout the Grand Line Paradise.

Some say these pirate supernovas were killed by enemies they hadn't completely eliminated in the past; others say they challenged people they shouldn't have; still others say they were simply defeated by the Navy and captured by them.

For a time, everyone argued heatedly, but no one could reach a conclusion.

It wasn't until later, when the Navy released photos of the Kid Pirates being arrested and imprisoned, that everyone reached a final conclusion.

It turns out that the destruction of the Kid Pirates was the work of the Navy.

However, some people have questions about this. Where is Eustass Kid, the core leader of the Kid Pirates, in the photo?

Where did he go?

This question has sparked countless discussions, but there has never been a definitive answer.

After leaving Snow Peak Island, Wukong and his companions had a very smooth voyage.

After a day and a half of sailing, they finally spotted the outline of another island ahead.

Nami was certain that this must be their destination—Char's Country!

At this moment, the sky is clear and the breeze is gentle; the temperature is just right—neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for wearing short sleeves.

This temperature indicates that the island where they arrived, the Kingdom of Char, was located, was either a spring island or an autumn island.

However, upon looking around, Nami realized that this was Spring Island.

Because all you see are layers upon layers of lush greenery, and when a gentle breeze blows, the green waves surge, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of jade floating on the sea.

"We've finally arrived. Hopefully, the martial arts tournament hasn't started yet, and we can still make it in time."

Nami stood at the bow of the ship, holding onto the railing with both hands, and said with a smile.

"It must not have started yet! I'm going to compete against so many masters!" Wukong leaned on the railing, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Soon, the Dream Chaser sailed into a large port on the edge of the island, where many ships were docked.

As soon as they entered the harbor, a fit young man with a healthy, wheat-colored tan waved to them.

"Hey!! You're tourists from out of town, right?! Out-of-town boats need to dock over there!!"

The young man pointed to a U-shaped inner harbor on the right side of the port and shouted.

"Okay!" Nami replied, and then had Pupu steer the boat there.

Soon, the ship docked, and Wukong and the others disembarked.

The young man who had given them directions was already waiting at the bottom of the ship. After Goku and the others disembarked, he extended his hand and smiled, saying, "Guests who have come from afar, the docking fee is three thousand Berries per day. Will you be paying in cash or with treasure?"
