Chapter 418 west Yan's Surprise: There really is one?
"What I am doing is..."
"
Brook, who had regained consciousness while lying on the ground, felt somewhat confused.
Why was he lying on the ground?
And... who are these guys running back and forth on their pirate ship?
"How come this group of pirates is so poor?" one man said speechlessly. "Apart from some scattered Berries, I didn't find anything of value."
Could it be that this group was just robbed?
It's not impossible.
"So what if we don't have money? We don't really need it anyway." His companion shook his head and said, "Let's carry the food we found in the kitchen back first."
In places like this, food is far more important than money.
The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that it made sense.
"Um?"
Then, the group decided to take the food they had taken from the kitchen with them.
Just then, Brooke stood up from the ground, clutching his arm, and said, "It's so cold! My skin hurts from the cold."
"Ah~"
"Although I don't have any skin to cool down~"
"Yohohohoho~"
"?"
"!!"
The men in protective suits were all dumbfounded when they saw Brooke stand up and speak.
"Why is the skeletal corpse standing up and talking?!"
Why?
Why?!
Why can this guy, who has turned into a skeleton, still stand up and talk?
Is this guy a devil?
Brook, observing everyone's reactions, smiled and then said, "By the way, have you seen where my companions went?"
When I woke up, I found...
'
Before Brooke could finish speaking, he saw several men in the distance raise their flintlock pistols at him.
"Shoot him! Take him down!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
"Gone...disappeared?"
Seeing Brook suddenly disappear from the spot, the pupils of the group shrank to the extreme.
Was what they just saw just an illusion?
"This is such a hassle."
The group of people who heard the voice behind them were startled, and then they planned to turn around and attack Brook.
But before they could even turn around, they felt an incredibly terrifying force acting on them.
"Nose Song Three-Step Swallowtail Slash!"
"puff!"
"ah!!"
The people who felt the pain screamed in agony, then their eyes rolled back and they collapsed to the ground.
"Honestly, you insist on making me do it myself." Brooke, having sheathed his cane-sword, said helplessly, "Can't we just sit down and talk things out?"
He really didn't mean any harm.
Then, as if remembering something, Brooke exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh no!"
"I forgot to ask them where this is!"
After glancing down at the unconscious group, Brooke fell silent. Could these guys ever wake up?
"Hey, you guys, come over here and take a look."
"Um?"
Hearing the sound, the group turned around and glanced at Zoro. Luffy then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Have you found the samurai and the man who was slashed?!"
After saying that, Luffy quickly ran towards Zoro's direction.
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances and then followed suit.
"I didn't find anyone," Zoro said, staring at the distant snow-covered landscape. "But I found something more interesting."
"Something even more interesting..."
'
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Usopp's eyes. What was even more interesting?
As he thought about it, Usopp ran to Zoro's side.
Then, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"?"
"!!"
"Snow...snow-capped mountains?"
Why would there be snow-capped mountains in a place filled with flames?
Has he fallen under an illusion?
Thinking of this, Usopp immediately looked at Xiyan and asked if he had been under a spell.
"It's not an illusion," west Yan said. "The other side is indeed Iceland."
His Sharingan could tell that the place opposite was indeed a real world of ice and snow.
"So it wasn't a fantasy novel after all..."
'
"That's not right either!"
Usopp realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "Why would there be icebergs and snow-capped mountains in a place like this?"
Divided by a river, one side is an active volcano with extremely high temperatures, while the other side is a frigid world of ice and snow...
No, what kind of island is this anyway?!
"Now I understand why that person said it was cold," Nico Robin said, pointing to the snowy landscape across the way. "That person should be over there."
Only someone in that environment would utter the word "cold."
"If that's the case, then the murderer and the murdered are both over there," Usopp said, looking into the distance.
"Over there...."
"
Mei Li, who was floating beside west Yan, stared carefully into the distance before saying, "I couldn't find it."
She didn't see anyone.
Upon hearing this, Usopp said somewhat helplessly, "Of course we can't see it from this far away."
This river must be at least several hundred meters long, plus the complex terrain of the snow-capped mountains...
It's perfectly normal that you can't see it!
"Is that so?"
Mei blinked, then turned to look at west Yan and said, "Did you see it?"
"I don't have any either."
west Yan shook his head and said, "It should be blocked by the snow mountain."
There are quite a few hills over there, so it's normal that you can't see them.
This time, Mary simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
"This island is really interesting," Luffy grinned, "One side is a fire island, and the other side is an ice island..."
'
"Hey everyone, how about we go get some shaved ice over there?"
As he spoke, Luffy's saliva began to drip from his mouth.
I really want to eat some cool shaved ice so my body temperature can come down!
Upon hearing Luffy's words, Usopp immediately had several question marks appear above his head.
Why does this bastard always do things his own way?
"Who would go over there, you idiot!" Usopp roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "They'd freeze to death!"
"Also, it's too far over there, let's go back to the ship first."
With that, Usopp turned around and prepared to leave.
But after walking only a few steps, they found that their companions had stopped in place, clearly very interested in the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Usopp: ? ? ?
No, stop messing around!
"Those snow-capped mountains over there do look interesting," Zoro said with a smirk. "Why don't we go take a look?"
He might just find a samurai he's really interested in!
"I agree," west Yan nodded.
He was also quite interested in this kind of island that was both ice and fire.
Meanwhile, Meili, drooling, said, "I want shaved ice too."
"Then let's go," Nico Robin said with a smile.
"No, what's wrong with you all...?" Usopp stared blankly at his companions, saying, "That's Iceland, the land of samurai!"
"That's very dangerous!"
Shouldn't we be heading back to the ship and reuniting with our crew at a time like this? Why are we going to such a dangerous place now?
You'll die!
"Don't worry, Usopp," Merry said, raising her head. "I have winter coats for everyone here, so you won't freeze to death."
After saying that, Merry smiled and chased after Luffy, who had already run into the distance.
"That's true, but suddenly going from a hot place to a cold place..." Usopp said with a grim expression, "Won't we really die?"
"I'm just an ordinary person..."
'
"Ordinary people?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Yan, who was walking towards Luffy with Zoro and the others, looked at Usopp with a puzzled expression. How could this guy be associated with ordinary people?
How can an ordinary person be so resilient?
A marksman who builds tank items?
As if he had thought of something interesting, west Yan smiled and shook his head, then said, "Alright, stop daydreaming and hurry up and catch up."
After saying that, west Yan walked away with a smile.
Watching his companions' departing figures, Usopp lowered his head dejectedly and said, "Damn it, why did we have to go to a place like that..."
'
Although we have cotton-padded clothes, they're not a cure-all.
Besides, there are dangerous samurai over there. What if we encounter that guy?
Thinking about this made Usopp's head ache.
The future looks bleak...
Just then, Usopp heard a strange sound, which sounded like some kind of bird spreading its wings.
"What's that sound?" Usopp asked, frowning.
For some reason, his intuition told him that the owner of that voice might be very dangerous!
Thinking of this, Usopp subconsciously put his hand into his backpack and then took out a few explosive bullets.
After doing this, Usopp looked around warily, searching for the source of the sound.
The next moment...
"Phew~"
The sound of wings spreading rang out again, which immediately attracted Usopp's attention.
"There it is!"
Upon finding his target, Usopp immediately turned around and stared blankly at the spot.
What did he see?
one...
...A winged monster?
"Hehe~"
As if noticing Usopp's gaze, Monet gave him a very kind smile.
"scare!!"
"A monster!"
Startled, Usopp sprang to his feet and ran frantically toward west Yan and the others.
Seeing this, Monet laughed even more happily, then spread his wings and flew towards Iceland in the distance at an extremely fast speed!
Upon hearing Usopp's voice, Zoro and the others instinctively looked behind them, clearly having heard Usopp's screams.
"How did Usopp open it?"
Looking at Usopp running towards them from a distance, Merry's eyes were filled with doubt.
Why does it look like it's been thrown around?
But there were no enemies behind him... How did he start this?
"Usopp, what are you doing...?"
Before Zoro could finish speaking, he was knocked to the ground by Usopp who rushed over.
Zoro: ? ? ?
"Hello!"
Zoro stared blankly at Usopp and asked, "What are you doing?"
Why are they yelling and crashing into me for no reason?
"A monster! A monster!" Usopp excitedly grabbed Zoro and exclaimed, "I saw a bird with wings... oh no, I mean a person with a body..."
'
Zoro:
"So what exactly do you want?"
What's the connection between a bird with wings and a person with a body?
"I saw a monster!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the direction he had just seen. "There was a winged birdman there!!"
"Birdman?"
Zoro, following Usopp's pointing finger, looked on with a hint of confusion and asked, "Where is it?"
What bird-driving guy is there?
The others also looked at the direction of Usopp's finger with puzzled eyes, but they didn't see anything strange.
"You wouldn't have made up something that doesn't exist just to avoid going to Iceland, would you?" west Yan said with amusement.
This is something only Usopp would do.
"No way!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly, "I definitely saw a birdman!!"
That guy even grinned at him, which made his head spin.
"Did you really see the birdman?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Usopp wasn't lying this time, Xiyan activated his Sharingan and began to scan the surrounding area, intending to see if anyone was hiding in one of the spaces.
But after looking around, I didn't see anything that looked like a birdman.
"It's not around anymore..."
After searching for a moment, west Yan turned his gaze to the sky and spotted a figure high in the air.
"There really is one..." west Yan said, narrowing his eyes.
"I'll do it!" Usopp said excitedly.
He wasn't saying things like "I'm just trying to avoid going to Shimai ahead"; he genuinely saw that terrifying birdman!
"The upper body is human, but the rest of the body is that of a bird..." west Yan frowned and said, "What the hell is this thing?"
Is he a Devil Fruit user?
Or is it some new species?
"Where exactly is that guy you've been waiting for?" Zoro asked, puzzled.
"There."
west Yan raised his hand and pointed to the sky above Lake Qianzi, saying, "Do you see that dark figure?"
"That guy is Usopp's birdman."
Zoro squinted at the thing in the distance, but found that he couldn't see it clearly at all.
After all... his eyesight isn't that good.
"They flew that far away?" Nicole Robin asked in surprise.
Isn't this speed a bit too fast?
As if struck by a sudden thought, Melly blurted out, "Could this guy be in cahoots with that samurai?"
"Maybe."
"Should we shoot her down?!"
Having said that, Meili summoned Xiaoqing, which was hidden on her body, and gestured for it to transform into a bow and arrow so that she could use her abilities to shoot down the birdman in the distance.
Thinking of this, Meili then released the wind.
But when she thought that such an attack might completely destroy the opponent, Melly held back some of her strength.
I just don't know if this will be enough to catch someone.
Xi Yan stared at the situation in the distance for a moment, then shook his head and said, "She has already flown to the other side of the river... At this distance, a light attack won't be enough to catch her, and a heavy attack might not even leave a corpse behind, so let's forget about it."
"Let's wait until we get there."
Mei Lidao nodded and then put Xiao Qing away.
Since west Yan has said so, let's let Dui Zi off the hook.
"Let's go." west Yan coughed and glanced at Luffy, who was walking happily ahead, and said, "We won't be able to keep up with Luffy in a bit."
Usopp glanced at Luffy and then remarked, "This guy really has a lot of energy."
It's so hot here, and this guy can still run around here with a smile on his face. That's amazing.
"After all, he's Luffy," west Yan said.
Don't worry, he's already sweating a little. Even if most of the water in his body were drained away, he could be fully recovered by drinking water!
Therefore, this environmental impact is nothing to Luffy.
"That's true too..." Usopp sighed helplessly.
Luffy's physique is monstrous, so it's normal for him to have such abundant energy.
"Let's go, hurry up and catch up," Zoro said. "We'll use Merry's ability to fly over there in a bit."
"No problem," Mei Li said with a smile.
Shaved ice, shaved ice~
Luffy, laughing loudly, declared, "I want some cool shaved ice!"
Upon hearing Luffy's voice, west Yan shook his head helplessly. Sometimes, this guy really is like a child.
Just then, a voice appeared behind Luffy, raising his spiked club and striking down.
"Take this!"
"boom!!"
"Who is it?!"
Luffy, having dodged the attack, looked at the dust cloud behind him with displeasure and said, "Why did you have to ambush me?"
"Hmph, of course I'm here to wipe you out, intruders!" the leopard-legged man said. "I'll do it myself..."
'
He froze before he could finish speaking, because he saw Luffy's legs on his back!
Luffy, who was observing the situation there, was also stunned.
"Your...legs...are so cool!!" x2
At the very end, the losers all burst into laughter.
"I was originally looking for intruders, but I almost accidentally hurt my own people..." The leopard-legged man scratched his head and said, "I'm really sorry."
Finally, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the leopard-legged man's face; he had almost made a terrible mistake.
"Oh, I see."
Luffy smiled and nodded, then looked at the leopard-legged man's legs with shining eyes and said, "Speaking of which... your legs are really cool!"
"It's fine."
The man with the leopard legs smiled and nodded, then looked up at Kin'emon's lower body behind Luffy and said, "But your hind legs are a little strange."
Why are the front legs and the back legs not the same color?
Could it be that the owner deliberately sculpted it in this way?
"Is that strange?" Luffy scratched his head and said, "I feel great."
Although Lan's hind legs weren't in much pain, it didn't stop him from thinking he was handsome!
At that very moment, Kin'emon's lower body cried out, "Damn it, where am I?!"
"?!"
The leopard-legged man, startled by the sound, stared in shock at Kin'emon's lower body and exclaimed, "Your lower body can talk?!"
"Yes!"
"This is just unbelievable..." The man with the leopard legs swallowed hard and said, "What kind of legs are these...?"
'
"That's amazing!"
This is the first time in his life that someone has ever been able to back down without saying a word. It's really amazing!
"Really? Hahaha~"
"this....
'
Zoro, who had just arrived at Luffy's place, looked at Luffy speechlessly and said, "How come Luffy has made friends with another weirdo?"
What the hell is this thing with the lower body of a leopard eagle?
Usopp, who also noticed the unusual posture, was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "This is... a leopard centaur?"
Are there any other creatures like this in the world?
"This is the new world!" Mary exclaimed, her eyes shining. "Amazing!"
Will they encounter even more interesting creatures next?
"Something feels off," west Yan said, frowning.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you still remember whose territory this used to be?" west Yan said.
"Of course."
Usopp turned his head and glanced at the direction they had come from, and said, "The words 'World Government' are clearly written on the big iron gate over there."
"What's the connection?" Zoro asked, puzzled.
"I suspect these centaur-like creatures aren't some special race that opened up the New World," west Yan said, glancing up at the leopard-legged man with his arm around Luffy's shoulder. "They might be some kind of experimental product of the World Government."
"experiment?"
Nico Robin paused for a moment, then said with a grim expression, "Human experimentation?"
If that's the case, then it's far too evil.
"That's possible."
west Yan nodded and said, "Of course, it's also possible that these guys were captured by the World Government and were only able to escape due to some unforeseen circumstances."
"Heh, the World Government is indeed no good," Zoro sneered.
west Yan Dao Yan shrugged and said, "We knew about this before the New Year, it wasn't something we started."
Having experienced so many things, they already knew exactly what the World Government was.
So it's true that the world government isn't a good thing.
Just then, the Den Den Mushi in west Yan's arms suddenly rang.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"A Den Den Mushi?"
Usopp glanced at Xiyan, then said in surprise, "You still have a Den Den Mushi?"
"Of course."
west Yan nodded and said, "Having a Den Den Mushi makes it easy to contact other people."
"It must be Nami and the others calling," Nico Robin guessed.
After all, they've been here for a while, so it's normal to call and ask about their situation.
"It's most likely them."
west Yan nodded, and then answered the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"Card-free~"
"You finally answered the phone..." Liang Luke said with a sigh of relief.
"Liang Luke?"
Perhaps sensing something amiss in Liang Luke's tone, west Yan frowned and asked, "What happened on your end?"
"Yes."
Liang Luke said, "Nami and the others are missing."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of west Yan and the others changed drastically.
"Gone?" Zoro asked. "Why did they disappear during the meeting?"
Could it be that someone ambushed Nami and the others after they left the Thousand Sunny?
"I don't know either."
Liang Luke said helplessly, "I inexplicably fell asleep earlier and have no idea what happened."
"When I woke up, there were only a few guys wearing protective suits and gas masks around me, but I didn't see Nami and the others."
"Gas mask..."
west Yan frowned and said, "It seems someone secretly drugged you with something."
Could it be those centaurs who are about to open?
Thinking of this, west Yan turned his gaze to the leopard-legged man who was racing Luffy.
"Why wasn't Brooke taken away?" Melly asked, puzzled.
"Once this guy lies down, he looks just like a normal skeleton, who would care?"
"west Yan, I'm so heartbroken by what you've done..." Liang Luke said, somewhat hurt.
What does it mean to say that nobody cares about a skeleton?
Skeletons also need to be taken care of!
"Enough nonsense, let's get down to business." west Yan said, "Go and ask those guys wearing protective suits where Nami and the others went."
"I'm afraid that won't work..."
'
Why open it?
"Because when I woke up, they suddenly attacked me, so I killed them all..." Liang Luke said somewhat awkwardly.
So he had no way of finding out where Nami and the others had gone.
west Yan:
That's incredibly fast.
"Looks like someone was watching us while we were on the phone," Nico Robin said, frowning.
"If this is the case..." Usopp's expression changed. "This really is a trap!"
"That's how it is based on the current situation."
Usopp's expression immediately turned ugly upon hearing this.
This is really not good news.
"Can you determine where you are?" west Yan asked.
"Um.
'
Liang Luke looked around and said, "This place is covered in ice and snow; it must be an Iceland."
"That's right across from us," west Yan said.
As they were talking, west Yan glanced at the other side of the riverbank, guessing that Nami and the others must have been taken there.
"I see." Liang Luke showed a look of sudden realization and said, "No wonder Miss Nami said those things before, so the other side of Fire Island really is Iceland."
"That's amazing!"
How exactly did this amazing environment come about?
Natural disasters?
Or was it caused by human intervention?
He's very curious!
"Go and check around for any strange buildings or figures," Nico Robin said.
Let me see.
'
Brooke walked to the side of the ship, glanced into the distance, and then said, "Hmm, I can definitely see a huge building. It looks very magnificent!"
"Okay, we understand."
Nico Robin nodded and said, "Wait for us over there for a moment, we'll be there in a bit."
Now that we know our companions have been captured and taken to the other side, there's nothing we can do about it.
Hurry over and rescue them!
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Liang Luke nodded, then murmured, "Mmm..."
"Um, Miss Robin."
"Once you arrive, could I borrow your coattails to take a look at Fatty...?"
'
"Card-free~"
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, Ryoku scratched his afro and said, "Looks like it won't work."
Well ~
Let's do it later!
Yohohohoho~
