Chapter 483 Golden Melly No. 2? The Mysterious Mirror Space! Lost Island!
"Hey, Abis."
"Hey!"
On the Golden Merli, at the kitchen sink, Abis stood on a chair very obediently, washing the dishes side by side with Sanji.
It was a very calm night, and the Golden Mellie sailed on the quiet sea. At this time, everyone has recovered from the exhaustion and tension of escaping from Battleship Island, and feels relaxed and leisurely.
"What are Grandpa Long doing? Are you sleeping again?"
"Well, apart from eating, I basically sleep."
"It is indeed a trip for an old age! It must be very uncomfortable. We should also consider making something delicious for it."
"Grandpa Long said that the rice cooked by Sanji is the most delicious meal he has ever eaten in the thousands of years since he was born!"
"Oh? That's great! Anyway, I have never understood the taste of dragons! It seems that even dragons should have the same taste experience as most creatures?"
Sanji handed the washing dishes to Abis, who wiped them dry with a towel and put them away neatly.
"When did Sanji start wanting to be a chef?"
"Well, when I was your age, Abis, you were already washing dishes in the kitchen of the Navy Headquarters."
"So small..."
Abis couldn't help but laugh out loud as she imagined Sanji, who was the same age as herself, washing the dishes while being scolded by the senior chef.
"Ah? What are you laughing at?"
"Do you have any photos from that time?"
"No!"
"But it's still amazing... Why did you think of becoming a chef at such a young age? And now you are a chef at sea..."
Abis asked with a confused look on her face.
Sanji finished washing a plate with coconut detergent: "I wanted to be a doctor because I discovered that I was really talented in this area as General Porusalino said, and my mother and sister all learned from my cooking. I gained happiness, which made me feel that being a chef is the most meaningful thing... And now the reason why I choose to be a sea chef, Abis, do you know the story of ALL BLUE?"
"...I don't know. What story?"
"The fish that live in the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, the North Sea, all the seas live in the same sea area - this is a legend."
"legend?"
"Like the legend of the Lost Island, it is a statement full of fantasy. As far as I know, no one has ever seen ALL BLUE. A sea that gathers all the food materials in the world. For chefs, What a sea of paradise it must be!”
"Then, is it Sanji's dream to find this ALL BLUE?"
“It’s also the dream of the chef who taught me how to cook!”
"Is it because of this that Sanji helped me and Grandpa Long search for the Lost Island?"
"Although it is not impossible to say so, there is no need for a reason to help people... But by the way, can Abis' Heart Whisper Fruit see through people's hearts?"
Abis shook her head. Sanji finished washing another plate and handed it to Abis to dry.
"What about you? Abis, what is your dream?"
Sanji asked rhetorically.
"Me?" Abis thought for a while, "I... I'm not sure. Right now, I just want to help Grandpa Long find the Lost Island."
"That's it."
"But girls from Battleship Island will marry boys from Battleship Island. If you marry a farmer, you will go to the fields to cut wheat. If you marry a fisherman, you will help mend the fishing nets... My words..."
Abise put away the dried dishes.
"Ah! It's finally done! Thank you for your help!"
"What will you eat tomorrow?"
"It's almost ready. After wiping this, go back to Nami's room and rest!"
"But, Grandpa Long still..."
"Don't worry, we will take turns to watch the night. Go to bed quickly. No matter what, we can't let the children stay up late. And if you are so sleepy and let you go on the deck, you will fall into the sea!"
"Okay...goodnight Sanji!"
"Good night, little princess!"
"Um?"
"Aren't the residents of Battleship Island all descendants of the royal family who escaped from the Lost Island? Therefore, Abis can also be said to be a little princess!"
"Ahahaha! I often heard these stories from Grandpa Boku before!"
"Get the key points!"
"Well, even if it belongs to the royal family, it happened a long time ago and has nothing to do with me!"
Abis smiled innocently and said good night to Sanji.
the next day.
"Well... on the other side of this sea is the Lost Island. What good things are there on this island?"
The Golden Mellie was sailing calmly under the clear blue sky, heading towards the east. Luffy sat on the statue on the bow of the ship, imagining that a table of delicious food was waiting for him on the Lost Island.
"Hey, did you see anything?"
"No, I didn't see anything."
Zoro, who was standing on the observation deck, replied calmly.
There is no ship in sight on the blue sea, and there is no cloud in the sky. Although Grandpa Hai Long's statement was very clear, he didn't see any shadow of the island.
"Abis! How's it going? Did Grandpa Long say anything else?"
Nami, who climbed up to the observation deck, asked Abis.
"No, it's still sleeping!"
Abis climbed onto the railing of the ship without feeling any danger, while Grandpa Long was sleeping soundly at the moment, breathing rhythmically. She ate all the food Sanji made for her before, so there should be no physical problems.
"Really, this Grandpa Long! He doesn't even remember the exact location of the Lost Island! Why don't you knock it on the head with a pot?"
"I think it's you, Luffy, who deserves to be knocked on the head! Just know that Dragon's Nest is to the east of Battleship Island!"
Nami started to blame Luffy.
"But what Luffy said makes sense, Nami. Although it is said to be in the east, we have been sailing east for so long, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the deserted island."
Franky said as he looked at the sea.
"This is normal. If it had been easily discovered by observation, the secret of Dragon's Nest would have spread throughout the sea."
Abis stayed with Grandpa Long. Listening to Luffy's discussion, she couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Long, is the Lost Island nearby? As long as we return to the Dragon's Nest, Grandpa Long can recover." Are you energetic now?"
Hearing Abisi's voice, Grandpa Long just opened his eyelids.
"What……"
After hearing Grandpa Long's answer, Abis laughed as if she was in disbelief - saying thank you before arriving, isn't it too strange?
"Wow haha!"
At this moment, Luffy suddenly shouted loudly. Abis, Sanji and Chopper who were in the cabin all came to the bow.
"This is amazing! Hey! Look, everyone!"
Luffy stood on the statue on the bow of the ship, pointing forward and shouting.
Nami's voice on the observation deck also trembled, and Zoro was also surprised.
"W-What? Why is there a ship exactly like the Golden Melly ahead?"
Abis looked ahead as if possessed.
On the sea ahead, a ship that looked exactly like the Golden Merli suddenly appeared. It was simply the Golden Merli 2.
And not only are the ships exactly the same—
"Hahaha! It's just like a mirror, so interesting!"
Luffy stared at his other self in front of him and shouted loudly. The situation at this moment is simply like a huge mirror being erected on the sea. Unknowingly, the statue on the bow and Luffy's shadow disappeared, and the ship rippled in a space with nothing, entering the mirror.
"Mirage?"
"No, if it's a mirage..."
The voices of Nami and Zoro on the lookout were also sucked in by the mirror wall. Sanji, Chopper, Franky and Abis also entered the mysterious space in the mirror one after another, just like entering their own souls.
…
At the same time, on the other side——
"Sickle Cyclone...!"
Eric was standing at the stern of the warship, using his sickle fruit ability to stir the airflow and summon strong winds, hoping that the warship could move forward faster under the strong wind.
For Eric, it was not his intention to do such low-status physical work, but due to the emergency, he endured it and continued to use his sickle fruit ability to accelerate the ship.
For security reasons, even if the ship is full of their so-called subordinates, the communication method with the branch base has been completely controlled by Eric and Hardy.
As soon as they discover the location of the Lost Island, they will take all the dragon bones as their own. Moreover, once the Thousand-Year Dragon is discovered and the keels are loaded into the warships, these marines will be of no use - keep those who are willing to follow them, kill all the rest, and then you can say goodbye to that ugly Lieutenant General Nelson. .
And to prepare for the worst, at least there will be a conflict between the pirates and Lieutenant General Nelson, and both sides will suffer.
"I found the shadow of a ship ahead! Confirmed, it's the pirate ship of Luffy and his crew!"
(Finally caught up...)
After chasing all night, he finally caught up with the pirate ship, and Eric quickly ran towards the bow.
"Right there!"
Major Hardy said, holding a telescope.
On the horizontal line in front of the starboard side of the warship, there is the shadow of a medium-sized ship towing a raft.
"Major! Pirate ship...!"
At the same time that the sound from the observation deck was heard, Major Hardy also lowered his telescope.
"What happened to the pirate ship...?"
The pirate ship disappeared.
"How could such a thing happen?"
The sailors on the side also exclaimed out of surprise.
It was almost like magic. The target pirate ship sailing on the ocean seemed to be swallowed by a certain space, and slowly disappeared on the sea. Finally, the raft carrying the Millennium Dragon also disappeared.
"What's going on? What happened?! Why did those guys disappear?!"
"I, I'm not sure either."
No sailor could answer Major Hardy's question.
"Stop the ship quickly!"
Eric immediately ordered to his subordinates - the target ship being tracked suddenly disappeared. Under such unknown circumstances, for a captain who was already well aware of various dangers at sea, ordering to stop the ship was out of instinct.
"No, just keep sailing like this!"
Major Hardy issued the opposite order, although in fact he was just thinking.
"Hardy! No one knows what is happening in the sea ahead! This is too dangerous!"
"Then prepare the boat for me alone!"
"Could it be that...you want to go there by yourself?"
"That's enough for me! Just stay here and wait for me to come back."
"Damn it! I'm with you too!"
Just like that, the two top commanders on the warship got off the boat and sailed forward.
…
On the other side, the Golden Melly was suddenly hit by a storm.
"What's going on? Why is there such a big storm here!"
Chopper, who was standing on the deck, was about to fly up due to the strong wind. He shouted hysterically, and quickly activated his ability to transform himself into a strong deer man.
After entering the mysterious mirror wall, the weather that had been clear and clear just now took a turn for the worse. The Golden Mellie struggled in the hurricane, the sky was as dark as night, heavy rain and waves rushed sideways towards the ship, as if it was about to capsize the ship.
"Sanji, Franky! Put the sails in quickly!"
"I understand! Abis - it's too dangerous outside, get to the cabin quickly!"
"No, I want to go to Grandpa Long!"
"Be obedient! Even if you get to Grandpa Long, you won't be able to help at all!"
"But Grandpa Long must be very scared! Wow...!"
A big wave came over, and the bow of the Golden Melly was suddenly buried under the waves. The ship tilted, and Abis flew out to sea from the deck full of sea water.
