Chapter 478 Porusalino: I’m Sorry to Call Myself a Legend if I’m Not Immortal!

Although I have no idea why Luffy and his gang, who were originally supposed to head for the East China Sea, appeared in this sea area "thousands of miles away"... Although I know that the branch patrol-class warship where I am is not likely to cause trouble at the Navy Headquarters. Their opponents in Malinfando...

But this captain felt that since pirates were discovered, no matter what level of pirates they are, whether they are strong or not, it is the responsibility and obligation of their sailors to attack them!

"Private, where's your heavy artillery? Pull it out and hit it hard!"

"Any evil will be brought to justice!"

…

At the same time that the navy discovered Luffy and the others, Zoro stood on the observation deck of the Golden Merry and also discovered them, and immediately reminded his companions loudly:

"Hey! A navy warship was spotted at nine o'clock! There is only one in total!"

"Warship? Are you here for my head? I'm so powerful!"

Luffy laughed wildly and looked in the direction indicated by Zoro. The warship was already very close with thick black smoke and was still mobilizing its guns.

Abis immediately grabbed Sanji's wrist tightly - although it was not the same warship, the warship in front of her still reminded her of the group of sailors who captured her before.

"...We're attacking!"

Sauron jumped down from the observation platform and landed firmly on the deck, ready for battle.

Boom boom! Boom boom!

Bursts of explosions sounded instantly, and huge water columns appeared on the water around the Golden Melly from time to time, causing the ship's hull to shake.

"Pirate Luffy and his gang listen up!"

The sound of a loudspeaker came from the warship.

"We are the GR-13 branch of the Navy! Please stop the ship immediately! Put down your weapons and surrender! If you don't obey the order, you will be hit next time!"

"What should we do? Luffy, if you want to do it, do it now!"

Zoro grinned and said with his hand on the handle of the knife.

"OK!"

"Calm down! You idiots! Why are you so impatient every time we fight!" Nami was a little crazy, "Can't you learn from General Porusalino? Don't use your hands if you can move your mouth!"

"Abis, go to the cabin below quickly! Chopper, protect her!"

The matter was urgent, so Sanji asked Chopper to protect Abis and hide. At this time, Abis looked up and saw a group of seabirds flying over.

"wind!"

"Um?"

"There is a strong wind coming!" Abisi said.

Nami, who was standing next to Sanji, heard what Abis said. After feeling it for a moment, her eyes widened in an instant: "The direction of the wind is going to change!"

Nami shouted: "The strong wind from the northeast is coming! Very strong wind!"

"Hey! Is it true? Nami?"

Luffy, who was already flexing his hands and feet to prepare for the fight, looked at Nami in disbelief.

Nami didn't bother to explain the logic of her judgment to the idiot captain - in fact, Luffy would not understand even if she explained it.

So she simply gave the order:

"Aim port side to windward! Franky, Zoro, open all sails! Sanji! Fill up the side rudder! Point south and move forward at full speed! Chopper, and Abis grab the fasteners, we are ready to go in one breath Escape!"

"In fact, you can definitely win if you fight them! Forget it, let them go!"

Luffy said rather disappointedly.

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense and start running away!"

After the captain was punished by Nami's iron fist, everyone quickly took their positions and began to go all out to prepare for escape.

"Luffy and his gang show no signs of stopping the ship!"

"These guys..."

The captain looked through the telescope and discovered Abis on the Golden Melly, "They actually kidnapped a civilian girl!"

"Don't fire for now! Chase them first, and take them down when you get close to them! You must protect the safety of the little girl first! Don't accidentally injure her!"

The captain's order was quickly conveyed to every post on the warship, and the warship began to quickly adjust its direction.

But at this moment——

Beep! Beep……!

Without any warning, the wind direction suddenly changed! A strong wind hit, and the captain and sailors lay down on the deck. The sailors in the power room immediately controlled the ship to slow down, otherwise big problems would easily occur.

"Captain! Luffy's group's ship escaped southward!"

"What?!"

The captain, who was blown away with his naval cap, was stunned by the lookout's words. Contrary to their warship, the opponent's ship accelerated southward and escaped with perfect timing!

"What are you still doing? Chase, chase!"

The captain stood up and pointed in the direction where Luffy's group's ship was escaping.

However, once the boat slows down, it is not easy to pick up the speed again, let alone now that it is in a headwind state, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

"The pirates are fleeing further and further away. If this continues, it will be difficult to catch up!"

The lookout shouted - At this time, Luffy and the others had activated the auxiliary power on the Golden Merry and were quickly escaping in a straight line.

The captain also understood at this time that under such circumstances, it was impossible to catch up, and instead of chasing the pirates, they now had to deal with the violent wind. With the tonnage of their warship, it would be a big challenge.

but……

"The goal of this group of people is to sail eastward. If they sail eastward in this sea area, they will most likely go to that island."

"...Ship Island?"

"That's right! Repair the ship quickly and prepare to leave the storm area! Also, contact the naval branch in the east and tell them the information about Luffy and his group!"

"Although we failed to catch these guys, it doesn't mean they can rest easy after escaping!"

…

"I really can't see anything!"

"Can't you see the fog?"

Sailing in the milk-like fog, Chopper and Luffy said silly things like this.

"It's probably around here!"

Nami muttered.

Days after escaping from the naval patrol ship, the Golden Mellie began sailing east again. At this moment, according to Nami's calculations, Battleship Island should be nearby. But nothing could be seen due to the thick fog. Not only will they not be able to find the target, but they will be in danger of running aground.

"Abis...is Battleship Island nearby?"

Sanji asked - the thick fog here makes it almost impossible to see the other person's face clearly when they are face to face. It's like seeing the devil's triangle sea.

"right!"

"Oh! A sailboat! It's so big!" Luffy's voice came.

In the fog ahead, there is a dark shadow that appears and disappears. As the Golden Melly moved forward, the black shadow gradually became clearer.

"Idiot, no matter how big a ship is, there should be a limit! It's not like that!"

Sanji complained like this - in his understanding, except for the navy's aerial fortress "Sky Curtain Behemoth", which was once a terrifying three-masted ship, under normal circumstances, no matter how big a ship is, it will not Even the mast is hundreds of meters high.

Of course, Sanji had also heard about the "NEW Navy"'s plan to build a super-large ship, but he had never seen it in person or in photos.

"This is it! Here we are!"

Abis said happily.

It turned out that the black shadow in the fog was Battleship Island, a mountain peak that looked like a sailboat spreading a huge sail in the sea, finally appeared.

…

At the only river mouth where ships can dock on Battleship Island, the Golden Merli anchored.

When the men on the island saw the Golden Merli coming with the pirate flag, they all took their weapons and prepared to fight. However, when they saw Abis jumping off the boat, they were only puzzled and confused.

"I'm back!"

"Abis...?

"Why did you get off the pirate ship?"

Then Luffy and the other five people and one deer also disembarked.

There was a sense of tension in the harbor. Unlike his friends, Luffy, who considered himself a complete pirate, watched everything around him with great interest - would they be greeted by treasure and food, or by swords and muskets?

"Hey, is there a place where I can eat meat on this island?"

"ah……?"

The men on the island were all surprised to be asked such a question by the pirate they had just met.

"Hey, everyone, listen to my explanation. Although these people call themselves pirates, they are all kind-hearted pirates!"

Abis immediately stood among the islanders and told what happened.

"Then after I escaped from the navy ship, I was rescued by Luffy and the others! Right!"

"right!"

Luffy replied puffing out his chest.

"Abis!"

At this time, someone in the crowd called Abisi's name.

"Ah! Grandpa Boku!" Abis ran towards the old man on crutches and threw herself into his arms.

"Oh haha! Coming back safely is better than anything else!"

Boku hugged Abis tightly - he was an old man with white hair in his seventies or eighties. Like the islanders and Abis, he wore local clothes made of coarse cloth and a belt. .

"Luffy! Everyone! Let me introduce you! This is my grandpa!"

"Thank you for helping my little granddaughter Abis. I am Boku... one of the elders on this warship island. If it is convenient, according to the custom of the island, when guests come to visit, we will hold a small A small welcome banquet, what do you think?"

"Banquet?! Is there any meat? Master, is there barbecue here?"

When Luffy heard the word banquet, he couldn't think of anything else.

"Although it's not barbecue, the pork buns made by Grandpa Boku are very delicious!" Abis led everyone towards Elder Boku's house at the foot of the mountain.

Waves of appetizing aromas came from the kitchen, and what was steaming in the pot were the legendary pork buns.

"It's really not covered! This smells like this! Sure enough, the sea is full of amazing dishes...Old man, how long do you have to wait?"

Sanji replaced Luffy and became the most excited and expectant person at the moment.

"Grandpa Poku's pork buns are one of the most delicious things on the island!" Abis said proudly.

"It will probably take another four or five hours!"

"Ah...!" Luffy beside him was already impatient.

"Idiot, so-called delicious food, waiting is also a process of enjoyment!"

Sanji looked at Luffy drooling and wanted to throw himself into the pot, and said angrily.

"Before the buns are steamed, let's go to the guest room to rest and drink tea." Elder Boku smiled and led the group into the guest room.

"Mr. Poku, why did the navy capture Abis? Do you have any clues?"

Nami asked seriously - she knew very well that among the nearby navy, the only one who was arranged to stay away from the headquarters and big plans in the name of long-term missions was Lieutenant General Nelson. In other words, this Lieutenant General Nelson himself was Compared with the current navy's position, there are certain problems, so it was arranged here.

And although one of their tasks is to start from the East China Sea, use the disguise of pirates to cooperate with the strength of the headquarters, and complete the cleanup of various problems at the grassroots navy in the four seas, the Grand Line has not been temporarily arranged by Porusalino to join them. plan... But her intuition told Nami that this time they might have a really serious problem.

"Abis, do you know why?"

Elder Boku looked at Abis, and she shook her head, indicating that she was completely unaware—in fact, during the two days when she was caught on the navy ship, she only knew that she was being taken to see someone.

"...If she doesn't know it herself, then my grandpa doesn't know it at all."

"But the other party is the navy. They won't just arrest people for no reason, let alone a child."

Sanji also frowned.

"Abis is really just an ordinary child, and Battleship Island cannot be the target of the navy and pirates... If I have to say it, it can only be that ancient legend!"

"Ancient legend...?"

Everyone, even the simplest-minded Luffy, was leaning forward at this moment, listening intently - they had only left Crown Island less than two weeks ago, and that island was home to the so-called "get the whole world" "The legend of the king's treasure.

Elder Boku took a deep breath and said softly:

"The residents of this island are said to be the descendants of the residents of the Lost Island who had an unprecedentedly prosperous civilization long ago, but sank to the bottom of the sea. There is a place called Dragon's Nest on the Lost Island, which is called the sacred place of the Millennium Dragon. The dragon lives there. The bones of this dragon are called dragon bones, and they seem to have the power to make people immortal..."
