Arceus' Pirate Journey

Relying on his special Buggy bullet, Buggy fought off the two Heracrosses, but he didn't know if there were other terrifying creatures hiding here, so he finally decided to let his younger brothers take the risk.

Mouse did not send anyone to participate in Buggy's operation, but provided him with some obsolete weapons. The navy's standard equipment is much stronger than what the pirates can get, which also adds a lot of pressure to the guards of the gold mine.

Although night had fallen, the battle had not stopped, and the Heracrosses flew out in groups.

Their bodies could not withstand artillery bullets, so they chose to fight at night.

There are countless waste rocks in the mining area. One by one, Heracrosses carried giant stones to the sky above Baki’s camp and launched a special air strike.

The huge rocks falling from the sky temporarily repelled the pirates, but did not resolve the crisis in the mine from the root. Buggy, who was far away from the mountains, set up camp again on an open space, and seemed to be planning something.

Nami and Nojiko also quietly slipped out of the mining area through a small path. They wanted to collect evidence of the collaboration between Rat and Buggy.

After all, it is the rats who covet this mine, not anyone else. If the rats are not eliminated, even if Buggy can be defeated, other pirates may come later.

......

"Hey, hey, I suddenly remembered that I have a disease that will kill me if I get close to the naval base, so..."

On the Merry, Usopp was trembling as he hugged the mast of the ship and made up all kinds of strange illnesses.

"Don't be ridiculous! There's no such disease!"

"That's the navy! The navy! Are we going to just charge into the navy branch with just a few of us?!"

"No, we just want to rescue He Ke."

Luffy stroked his hat and said very seriously.

They came here with the other Heracrosses and had no idea what exactly happened. These two Heracrosses met another Heracross on the way and got some news that Heracross had been captured by the Marine branch.

The mouse was not a fool. He knew that there were two difficult-to-deal-with rhinoceros beetles in the mine, so he captured some Hercules that were rushing there, intending to use them to force the rhinoceros beetles to surrender.

Luffy, who didn't know the details, mistakenly thought that Hercule was among them, so he decided to rescue Hercule.

"Usopp, you're already on the pirate ship. It's only a matter of time before you become an enemy of the navy."

"Yeah, if you're so scared, you might as well go home."

"Don't you two want to persuade him? There must be a better way!"

Looking at Sanji and Zoro who were ready to have a big fight, Usopp didn't understand what they were thinking.

"Huh? What are you talking about? This guy is the captain. Now that we are on this ship, we must obey the captain's orders. I don't know what the difference is between this and the previous branch."

Wrapping the turban on his head, Zoro expressed his understanding very seriously. Sanji did not refute him, but just lit a cigarette silently.

Although he was afraid, in the end, Usopp still joined the group with a slingshot.

But they didn't see Hero, instead they encountered the exposed Nami and Nojiko.

After sneaking into the naval base, they found evidence of the rat's crime, but were discovered at the last moment.

Finally, with the joint efforts of both sides, they successfully rescued the Heracross in the base and followed Nami and Nojiko to their gathering place.

......

"Hehe! Damn it, are you actually hurt?!"

In the mine, Luffy saw an injured Heracross, and then rushed over crying.

"Huh?"

"Ah, you're not Helo... No, there are so many Helos here!"

The environment in the mine was a little dim, and the appearances of the Heracrosses were all similar. Luffy couldn't tell which one was his for a moment, and began to check these Heracrosses one by one.

Looking at this inexplicable two-legged beast, Heracross's patience gradually reached its limit. It was at this time that the Heracrosses who had gone out to fight came back.

Hero was shocked when he saw Luffy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he kicked Luffy in the waist.

"Huh? Great, you're okay!"

“Hehehe?!”

Hercule's tone was very complicated. On the one hand, he was surprised that Luffy would catch up with him, and on the other hand, he was angry. His words at this time can be briefly summarized as: [How dare you sail without me? Aren't you afraid of getting lost at sea? ]

Chapter 882 I suspect there is a traitor among us

"Hmm....How did he recognize Heluo? These rhinoceros beetles all look the same."

Watching the slightly weird reunion scene of Luffy and Hercule, Usopp thought about another question.

Luffy may not even remember people's names and appearances clearly, and he basically recognizes people based on some special features, such as Usopp's nose, Zoro's hair and earrings, and Sanji's eyebrows.

But he could find Hercules among a group of identical Hercules.

"No, the difference is quite obvious. The patterns on the horns and shells of the rhinoceros beetles are different. You can see it if you look carefully."

"And their tastes are different. They are quite picky about oranges."

Usopp's words caused Nami and Nojiko to refute. In their opinion, it was not difficult to identify the individual Heracross.

"That's because you've been together for too long, right, Zoro, Sanji?"

"I don't care. It's no big deal."

"Whatever Ms. Nami and Ms. Nokiko say is right~"

One was indifferent, while the other was already infatuated with him, which made Usopp once again begin to doubt what his purpose was in boarding this ship.

"Hello?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't we companions? Your friends are my friends. How can I be left out of a fight?"

Luffy's thinking is very simple. He does not consider too many consequences when doing things. If this person is his friend and partner, then he will help the other person unconditionally.

Luffy and Hego were chatting enthusiastically, but Nami and Nojiko were scolded by Bell-mère. In Bell-mère's opinion, their behavior of breaking into the enemy camp without saying a word was tantamount to seeking death.

Once the mice's collusion with pirates to harm civilians is discovered, a devastating blow will surely await them. In order to keep this secret, the mice will resort to any means necessary.

"We are almost there. We are almost there to find evidence of his crime."

"Don't be silly. You can't find that kind of thing. Would you keep any evidence of your dealings with pirates? Even if you did, he would have destroyed it long ago.

This is a difficult matter. Even if the pirates outside identify him, it will be useless. The navy will not believe what the pirates say."

Ajian did not try to persuade Bellmère. Although they were not related by blood, he had long regarded the two sisters as his own daughters and could not understand their risky behavior.

"But you clearly said before that there is evidence of guilt this time..."

"We want to see if we can find evidence of his crime in the hands of those pirates..."

boom!

The sound of explosion interrupted Bellmère's words again, and Buggy and others launched an attack here again.

But this time is different from before because Luffy made a very simple judgment.

"Okay, I get it. As long as we knock all these guys away, there won't be any problem, right?"

Clenching his fists, Luffy took the lead out of the mine, wanting to deal with the trouble here for Hero, and then continue his voyage.

......

"Rubber balloon!"

Relying on his rubber body, Luffy bounced back the shells fired by Buggy, causing heavy casualties among his subordinates, who were also defeated by Zoro and Sanji.

Although the Split Fruit allowed Buggy to avoid many attacks, after one split, he found that a part of his body was missing. Following his feeling, he found that his body was now in the hands of Hero.

"You bastard rhinoceros beetle! Give my body back to me now!"

Herocross didn't pay attention to Buggy's roar, but flew away with part of his body. This also made the other Heracross understand how to deal with the enemy in front of them.

In the ensuing battle, Buggy's body continues to decrease.

Every time a piece of his body was knocked off, it would be taken away by other Heracrosses, making it impossible for him to recover. In the end, only a dwarf named Buggy was left, who was knocked away by a punch and turned into a star in the sky and flew to an unknown place.

But when he was knocked away, the special Buggy bullet he fired caused a huge explosion. The huge impact allowed some pirates to escape in the chaos, but most of the pirates were captured by the mining protection team.

Although they did not collect any crucial evidence, they still decided to continue reporting the rat's behavior to their superiors.

The gold mine is temporarily safe. Buggy is considered a top-tier pirate, and the news of his defeat is enough to shock other pirates in the East China Sea.

Because of the encounter in Branch 16, Nami also boarded the Merry. Her dream was to draw a nautical chart of the whole world. This dream destined her to set sail sooner or later. This was just an opportunity.

At the same time, she also wrote a new letter of complaint, wanting to report the rat's despicable behavior in Rogue Town.

The person who was most happy about her boarding the ship was not Sanji, but Hero, because there was finally a serious person who knew how to sail on the ship, and it no longer needed the Zoro compass to guide the direction, nor did it have to worry about everyone on the ship accidentally drowning at sea.

Although Bell-mère and Ajian had some complaints, they finally respected Nami's choice.

After the incident with Kokoasi was resolved, the Merry, with an official navigator, set out on its journey again.

As a reward for defeating Buggy, Luffy also got some equipment. He seized a nautical chart to the Grand Line from Buggy's ship, giving the Straw Hat Pirates a clear direction to move forward.

But before entering the Grand Line, they coincidentally met a girl named Abis, and got acquainted with a thousand-year-old dragon called Long Ye, and finally decided to send Long Ye to the dragon's lair.

......

"Feren, it's time for this time."

"We're here. This is where our Millennium Dragons gather. It looks like we got here early."

Above the clouds, Yamato and others finally arrived at their destination, the gathering place of the Millennium Dragons.

After circling in the sky for a few circles, Feren did not sense the presence of other Millennium Dragons, but when they rushed down from the clouds, they saw a scene completely different from what they expected.

However, Yamato did not see the Dragon Island that Feren mentioned, but instead saw several warships.

"Have these navy discovered our destination and are waiting for us?"

Looking at the warships below, Yamato came to a very special logic.

"How is that possible? There are only three of us here. Who could have leaked the information to the navy? Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"

Looking at Yamato's eyes, Ulti suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Is there a possibility that you, Ur-chan, were too bored, so you deliberately passed the message to the navy and let them arrive here early?"

"Can you please be more sane? Who would do something as stupid as that? You're the most likely person to do that among the three of us! Also, don't call me by such a disgusting name!"

Chapter 883 You can always trust your captain (fog)

If someone else said this to her, Ulti would think that the other person was joking, but since it was Yamato who said this, if it was her, she would most likely really think so.

There was a commotion again in the cabin for a moment, but this did not affect the pace of the Millennium Dragons. The clouds covered the warships below and prevented them from noticing the group of Millennium Dragons above. The Millennium Dragons also changed direction, overtaking the group of warships below and flew away into the distance.

The sky also became strange at this time. From a distance, there was no difference between here and the sea outside, but when they got closer, they found that this was a special illusion like a mirage.

The Millennium Dragon in front disappeared from everyone's sight out of thin air after crossing this sea area.

"Hey, is there such a special sea area in the East China Sea? I thought only the weather in the Grand Line was so weird."

Although it was novel, it was nothing new to Yamato.

What is special about the New World is not only the unpredictable weather, but also the magical composition of the islands.

Apart from strange weather like it's raining knives, some islands are filled with invisible air bridges. They look like there's nothing there, but people can run freely on them.

Some islands have special gravity environments, and some are even made entirely of food.

All this was attributed to the magic of the Grand Line. Now it seems that she had underestimated this world.

"Feren, is this your Dragon Island? It looks a bit... desolate."

After passing through a stormy area, a desolate island appeared in everyone's sight. If this was the destination of their journey, it would be quite disappointing for Yamato.

"roar~"

There were two roars from Ferran's father, and Ferran began to translate his father's words.

“My father said that this was the island he often visited when he was a child, and that there was an ancient human dynasty here at that time.

Due to the mirage-like barrier of the outside world, the people living here stay away from the world and have nothing to do with the disputes of the outside world.

Our tribe often passed by here, and those people regarded us as mysterious creatures who could fly, and they respected us very much, but now everything is different. "

The lifespan of a Millennium Dragon is very long, and some people have never seen their true appearance in their entire lives. For the older Millennium Dragons in this tribe, this island is like a convenience store at their doorstep.

After traveling around for several years, I always want to go in and take a look when I go home, to find some childhood memories, but the return of the thousand-year-old dragons is too far away for humans. When they come back, everything here has changed.

"By the way, that place looks quite like a castle."
