Chapter 155 Dr. Henzo Who Studies Rainbow Fog
"It's so slow;"
On the warship, the old woman with purple shawl hair put down the telescope in her hand and said:
"You almost missed this historic moment."
Next to her was a blond old man running over in a hurry, wearing a black vest and sunglasses:
"Give me the telescope."
Taking over the telescope, the old man saw the Merry and Luffy standing at the stern to block the cannonballs:
"That's right, that's Straw Hat's ship!"
The old man's tone was full of nostalgia and emotion.
A Marine soldier came over, saluted and said:
"The other party has no intention of stopping the ship, and may have to trouble Lieutenant Commander to take action."
"No, it looks like I can't catch up anymore."
The old man put down the telescope in his hand and could clearly see the next scene without using tools.
A pale half-length water dragon emerged from the water, held the Mei Li in its mouth, swam forward quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The enemy fled, and the surrounding soldiers retreated to continue their work. Only the blond old man and the purple-haired old woman were left on the bow of the ship.
The blond old man looked in the direction where the Meili disappeared, with a smile on his lips:
"Uchihaxin, it's really amazing, hahaha~"
The old woman showed a nostalgic look:
"The wheel of fortune is starting to turn."
"Long time no see, Luffy."
...
"Hey! There's an island ahead!!"
The half-length water dragon was flying with the Meili in its mouth. Luffy, who was sitting in the special seat, was not blocked from view and shouted excitedly:
"Let's go up and eat meat!!"
"Are you kidding me, I must have dessert!"
"Yoshi, let me fall from the sky!"
The half-body water dragon gradually rose up, with the intention of gathering its lower body to fly.
Boom!
"Stop the Genin technique and sail the boat in properly!!"
The hedgehog on the deck was punched in the head, and Nami's roaring shouts were also heard.
"But it's more handsome to fly over and appear, and it's faster."
"That's right! Eat meat faster!!"
Robin said calmly:
"But if there is a riot, the hotel will also be closed."
“Then we won’t be able to eat meat and desserts.”
"Eh!? Believe it!! Stop it!!!"
"I'm already stopping!!"
In the end, under the threat of the hotel closing, the Mellie honestly set up its sails and headed towards the island in a normal ship manner.
Because the pirate flag was flying, everyone did not choose the port where the ships gathered. Instead, they docked the Meili at the rocky area near the port.
Zoro took the initiative to stay and guard the ship, and Shinbu assigned Shadow Clone to do the work.
The rest of the group made their way through the rocky belt, preparing to head toward the town.
"You guys stop;"
However, before they could get out of the rock zone, a soldier with a gun stopped everyone:
"If you want to dock at Lulujia Port or rocky areas, you have to pay the port entry tax!"
"Port tax?" Chopper was carrying his own blue bag with a puzzled expression.
Usopp explained: "It means we need to pay."
"I said, why do you have to pay taxes just for stopping the boat?"
Nami, who regards wealth as her life, was the first to feel dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately raised his gun with a fierce look on his face:
"This is the rule of this island, and it is your obligation to pay taxes."
"Hey, you bastard."
Sanji stood between Nami and the soldier:
"Don't be rude to ladies."
The soldier had no intention of truce and said persistently:
"Do you want to hand it over?"
"Ah? What should I pay?"
"Of course it's the entry tax!"
"But we didn't stop the boat."
Xin looked puzzled and pointed at the place where the Meili docked.
"Nani!?" The soldier opened his mouth. In his sight, there was indeed no ship there:
"But I clearly saw it..."
"You're blinded, little brother, we didn't sail at all."
The redness in his pupils dissipated, and Xin called on everyone to continue moving forward.
There's only one person who doesn't understand the situation yet.
Luffy: "What kind of letter are you talking about? We are obviously sitting here whining~"
Nami: "Okay, okay, shut up and go in."
Nami grabbed the idiot captain's mouth, and together with everyone, passed over the soldiers who were doubting their life.
...
After entering the town, everyone divided into two groups.
Nami, Sanji, and Chopper went shopping together.
The rest of the people came to the hotel, and with them was a weird old man.
In the hotel, Xin looked unhappy:
"We agreed to go shopping for clothes, but what you are wearing now is too old-fashioned."
"Ah, do you think I'm old?"
"No, I mean this old-fashioned dress is not worthy of you when you are young."
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm getting older."
"Don't answer the conversation on your own, you bastard old man!!"
At the dining table, there was a short old man with gray hair and beard who looked very familiar.
While eating the pasta served by Usopp, he didn’t forget to answer the question.
This was the culprit that forced Xin to change his itinerary.
After passing the soldiers, the old man walked up carrying a strange instrument.
Asking everyone if they had seen the rainbow fog, Xin felt a little familiar, but he didn't care and just assumed he had seen the name somewhere.
Robin became interested. She had read the adventure story of Rainbow Fog in a book and wanted to know more information from the old man.
The old man happened to be hungry, so he came to the hotel with a few people.
The old man called himself Henzo, a genius scientist who studies rainbow fog, and asked several people to call him Doctor.
"Genius scientists and PhDs?"
Henzo and Robin discussed the rainbow fog, while Xin ate Anko rice and observed the reactions of the people around him:
"It started from the moment I entered the hotel. This old man is not welcome here."
If he is a genius scientist or doctor, he should not encounter so many discriminatory looks. Even the restaurant owner specifically asked Henzo if he had money to pay the bill.
During the conversation between Henzo and Robin, several people also learned what the rainbow fog was.
It is said that the rainbow mist records the courtyard where the gods live and the entrance to the Kingdom of Gold.
It’s hard to say whether there are these things inside, but rainbow fog has definitely appeared near this island.
Fifty years ago, Henzo's friends entered the Rainbow Fog and never came back.
This is why Henzo is dedicated to finding rainbow fog.
"A few guests." The restaurant owner brought a plate of pasta and placed it in front of Usopp, but his eyes were fixed on Henzo, who had his head lowered:
"You'd better not believe this man's words."
"Why do you say that?"
"This guy is Mayor Witton's lackey."
"running dog?"
A group of guests behind Luffy also stood up and said:
"He is the sinister scientist who defrauded the mayor of funds and lived a free and easy life!"
"Carefree?"
Xin looked up and down, no matter how he looked at Henzo, he didn't look like a rich man.
Before he could think about it, a drumbeat sounded.
