Chapter 24 Rare Beasts And Treasure Chest Uncle
It was a sunny day, and even the sea breeze was gentle. The sky was full of scattered white clouds, and only a thick black cloud covered an area of the sea.
The surrounding sea was calm with slight waves, but in the area shrouded in dark clouds, it turned into thunderstorms, heavy rain and fierce sea winds.
"Is it really okay to go in that direction?"
Luffy and Usopp stood on the bow of the boat, and one look at the dark clouds in front of them showed that it was not a good place.
Nami squatted on the deck and looked at the chart carefully, then stood up with excitement, took out his telescope and looked at the sea shrouded in black clouds, with a hint of excitement in his tone:
"It's unmistakable, that's the legendary treasure island!"
Although she confessed her heart to Xin last night, the treasure collection has not been completed yet, and Nami's money-grubbing character cannot be changed for a while.
"Legend has it that approaching this island will offend the gods!"
Boom!
"Ah~"
The Meili had entered the sea area where there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain. There was a sound of thunder, and as it was approaching the legendary treasure island, Usopp was frightened and asked tremblingly:
"Is it really true, that legend of a god!"
"It looks great!"
"It is said that there are a lot of treasures up there."
"God, I wonder if it will give me the power of Six Paths."
"Do you only pray to others? Hedgehog head, things like gods sound worthy of being chopped off!"
...
The environment on the island is very atmospheric, with primitive and peculiar plants densely covered. It does not look like an inhabited place at all. Combined with the occasional flash of lightning in the sky, it creates a feeling of a forbidden land for the gods.
The Mellie docked at the shore, and a Shadow Clone was left on the ship to guard the ship. The other five people all landed, but only Usopp was nervous.
Luffy and Zoro don't care, Nami is attracted by the treasure, Shinya wants to meet the legendary gods, and the only one who can be scared by the carnivorous plants on the island is Usopp.
"It's just a bigger Venus flytrap, don't hug me."
Xin had a long nose hanging on his body and said helplessly.
Usopp refused to let go, his whole body hung on Xin's body, and he said tremblingly:
"Whatever is bigger, it can be called a human trap!!"
Then he looked at the three people in front of him who showed no fear, and couldn't help but persuade him:
"It doesn't look like there is any treasure here. Let's leave quickly, everyone."
"That's not certain. Someone has already come to greet us."
Xin groped his chin, and through Sharingan he could see a lot more things around him, which made Xin very interested.
The four people were currently in an open space, surrounded by dense bushes and trees. Through the gaps, pairs of red eyes stared at them.
"Ah~ what is this!"
A panda-colored bat flew onto Nami's head, scaring her so much that she did a laser dance on the spot. After driving the bat away, it hung directly on Xin's body.
Looking at the two pendants, one on the left and one on the right, his arms were completely sealed:
"It's just a bat. It looks pretty cute."
"How cute!"
Nami and Usopp spoke at the same time, denying Xin's statement.
"It's really cute. Come on! Shake hands."
There is also a special dog at Luffy's feet, with a rooster comb on its head and rooster tail feathers on its tail. Luffy crouched down and tried to tame it.
"No! You're so cute!"
Zoro twitched the corner of his mouth. In front of him was a gorilla. The difference was that this gorilla had a hippopotamus face. It couldn't be said to be particularly ugly, it could only be said to be extremely ugly.
"Get out!!!"
Shouts echoed around the clearing.
Luffy stood up, pressed his straw hat, raised his head and asked:
"Who are you?!"
"I am the protector of this island!"
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
One after another, exotic animals popped up from all around, including a rhinoceros with a pouch and standing on its hind legs, an ostrich body and legs but a Madara horse neck and head, and an ordinary piglet with a Lion's mane...
"I turned all the pirates who came here to hunt for treasure into animals."
"If you don't want to stay here, get out of here!"
The echoing shouts continued, trying to force everyone away, but after these animals revealed their true colors, even Usopp and Nami lost their fear.
"Hey, it looks pretty cute if you look closely."
Peng! ! !
Gunshots rang out, and a bullet was fired at Nami, who bent down to pick up the lion pig.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xin fired his shuriken and deflected the bullets. His eyes were fixed on one direction. Sharingan noticed that there was still a slight smoke of gunpowder there.
A green plant that blended in with the environment swayed abnormally. Shin took out the shuriken again, but the difference was that there was a wire tied to the tail.
Whizzing!
"ah!"
Screams came from the bushes, and everyone looked over, only to see Xin walking into the bushes and pulling out a...treasure box with an uncle's face?
"Uncle?"
Luffy and the other four tilted their heads and looked at the treasure chest man in Xin's hand tied with a wire in confusion.
"I thought he was some powerful person, but it turned out to be just an uncle who was pretending to be a god."
Throwing the uncle to the ground, Xin said regretfully. He thought he was a god like Sage of Six Paths.
Luffy was very interested in the uncle and went up to scratch his green hair:
"Uncle, are you also a rare animal?"
"No, I'm human!"
Nami also walked up and grabbed his green hair:
"No matter how you look at it, you are a treasure chest man."
"There's a reason for this!"
Usopp also walked up and scratched his green hair:
"What? It turns out you are the little man in the box."
"Yes, I have been carefully cared for since I was a child. In order to protect my family, I was locked in a treasure box..."
"...What a ghost, you told me I'm human!"
Zoro finally came over and scratched his green hair:
"So you are the so-called god, right? You really have no majesty."
"As I said, I'm a human being!!! And you guys, don't grab other people's hair!!!"
...
The treasure chest uncle’s name is Carmon. Twenty years ago, he was a pirate, and he and his partners came to this island where treasures were rumored to be placed.
They found nothing and planned to leave, but young Carmon was unwilling to accept it. He found a smooth stone platform in the middle of the island.
Climbing up the smooth stone wall, Kamon saw several treasure chests. Perhaps he was too excited and fell down before he could open them.
He happened to get stuck in an empty treasure box below and fainted. When he woke up, his friends had already left, and he tried various methods but could not get out of the treasure box. The mountain wall was once Because he was put into the treasure chest and could no longer climb up.
For the next twenty years, he kept company with the rare animals on the island and threatened the pirates who came. Although he could not get the treasure box on the stone platform, he did not allow others to take it away. Twenty years later, he The body gradually grew together with the treasure chest.
"This is the stone platform with the treasure box on it."
Carmon pointed to the towering stone platform in front of him and learned Carmon's story. Luffy immediately decided to help him obtain the treasure.
"Yoshi, leave it to me."
Luffy stretched out his arms and grabbed the edge of the stone platform. It was a place where Carmon had not been on for twenty years. It was easy for Luffy.
