Chapter 561
The dreamlike island and the bubbles floating in the sky are like a dreamy forest in a fairy tale, which amazed everyone.
“Oh, this is really beautiful.” Nami gently raised her jade hand, reaching for the floating bubbles, like colorful b.a.l.l.s of light slowly gliding across the palm of her hand.
Robin interrupted Nami’s action suddenly, and asked, “Nami, we have come to another island. Is there any problem with the record pointer?”
Letting go of the bubbles floating in her palm, Nami looked at the record pointer on her wrist, and said in surprise: “Hey, no, the record pointer still points to Fish-Man Island when we get here.”
Lin Tian explained in a timely manner: “Because the Sabaody Archipelago are all forests composed of huge trees, there is no magnetism here.”
When Sanji heard about it, he asked doubtfully, “But, isn’t this an island in the first place?”
Shaking his head, Lin Tian didn’t immediately answer his doubts, but looked at Sanji and asked, “Do you know trees like mangroves?”
Sanji thought for a while and replied, “It’s the kind of plant that lives on the bottom of the sea with a few roots exposed to the surface of the sea when the tide rises and falls.”
Yep! Looking up at the huge mangroves around, “That’s right, but a few of them here will not sink to the bottom of the ocean, because the mangroves here are the largest mangroves in the world, Yarukiman Mangrove/Hustle Muscle Mangrove. The roots of each tree here can be regarded as a small island. The huge roots of these mangroves are deeply rooted in the deep sea of 10,000 meters, that’s why this place is called the Sabaody Archipelago. And because the entire island has bubbles, this place is also known by many people as the islands of bubbles.”
“There are numbers written on these trees!” Chopper scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and suddenly found a strange place. There were huge numbers painted on these trees.
“Oh, do you mean here?” Hatchan stretched out his finger like the nearest mangrove tree and said, “Because this place is composed of these big trees, in order to distinguish and manage them, they are marked with numbers from 1 to 79. Each town has corresponding facilities and towns built on it.”
“For the convenience of pa.s.sage, each island is connected by a bridge.” At this time, the Sunny was pa.s.sing under the bridge between two mangroves.
“Okay, it’s right here, No. 41, just park the boat here.” Hatchan seemed to be a temporary guide for everyone, pointing the way.
Oh, hahaha…
Seeing Luffy stepping on several bubbles rising from his feet, and quickly flying towards the sky, Lin Tian shook his head, lazily caring about this guy.
However, seeing that those bubbles could withstand Luffy’s strength without shattering, Robin suddenly became curious and asked, “Hey, what are these bubbles made of?”
“This is the natural resin secreted from the roots of these giant mangrove trees.” Lin Tian stepped on the ground with his right foot, and as he lifted his right foot, a colorful soap bubble appeared on the sole of his foot.
“These resins breathe with the mangroves, so that the inhaled air start to expand, and then they fly in the air like this.”
At this moment, Luffy, who had already flown to the top of the mangrove, waved his hands and shouted to everyone, “Hey, everyone, I see a huge playground over there!”
“Playground!” When Chopper below heard these three words, he immediately became excited, and said from the book that there are many interesting things in the playground.
Chopper has always wanted to play in the playground, but he has no chance. Today, it seems that he can play in the playground here.
“Sabaody Park, where there is a huge cable car, it has always been my dream to ride that!” Camie shouted excitedly, clutching her hands.
Then at the next moment, Pappag on the ground hurriedly turned around and shouted: “No, Camie, I will not let you go to that kind of place.”
Hearing Pappag’s words, Camie didn’t refute anything, but just lowered her head, with a sense of sadness exuding from her body.
Chopper, who was excited at the side, looked at this scene, although he was very puzzled, he didn’t say much!
“Okay, everyone, now let’s go find the coating engineer.” Hatchan walked in front and shouted to the people behind.
Nami was puzzled and asked: “Hatchan, what do you mean by the coating you told us earlier?”
After thinking for a while, Hatchan explained briefly: “Wrap the boat with this resin, and the boat can dive into the bottom of the sea. This is the only way for you humans to reach Fish-Man Island. If you encounter unskilled engineers, people and boats will just be buried in the sea together. I only know one skilled engineer.”
Brook sighed from the side: “Hah… Mr. Hatchan is really a good person who thinks about us.”
Robin, who was walking in front, turned his head and asked, “Lin Tian, you have been here many times, you should know some good coating engineer.”
Sabaody Archipelago, he would pa.s.s by here every time he went to Mary Geoise, or came back from the New World. But indeed Lin Tian had always pa.s.sed by at that time, he may know some coating-engineer.
Even if you really need coating, you can just go directly to the area where the marine belongs and find a professional master, which is much better than outside. But now that he’s not a marine, this method will not work.
Really looking for something to say, he does know a coating engineer, but thinking that the old man must be fooling around somewhere, Lin Tian immediately dismissed it from his mind. When he found him, I am afraid that they would have already arrived in the New World.
Shaking his head, Lin Tian waved his hands and said helplessly: “At that time, the marine had special coating engineers, and I didn’t know the rest.”
Since Lin Tian didn’t know the other coating engineers, everyone was left to follow Hatchan to find the choice of coating engineers.
About to lead Luffy and others to find engineers, Hatchan suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a serious face: “Wait, you have to remember a very important thing, you will see the World n.o.bles when you enter the city. “
Luffy touched his lips and asked curiously; “A world n.o.ble? Who is that!”
“Residents of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.” Lin Tian explained lightly.
Swallowing, Hatchan was very frightened and said: “Promise me, no matter what happens to you later, you will not get into conflict with the World Government, even if some of you are killed by the World n.o.bles.”
“No matter what happens…” Nami’s expression changed, besides being puzzled by what Hatchan said, she could also feel a penetrating chill.
Luffy was also stunned by what Hatchan said, “Even if our companion is killed?”
Everyone was shocked by Hatchan’s words for an instant. How terrifying the World n.o.bles are to make Hatchan say such words.
Suddenly, Lin Tian, who was standing beside them, said calmly, “They’re just a bunch of sc.u.m. If they mess with us, we just kill them.”
“what!”
…
“Please, please, no matter if it’s an ax or a saw, you can lend it to me!”
On the one hand, as soon as the three of Luffy entered a street, they saw a lot of people surrounding the middle of the street. One of them, who looked like a pirate, was holding onto a girl tightly.
The pirate didn’t have an arrogant smile on his face, but fear from the bottom of his heart. The capture of the girl was not threatening her, but begging the people around him to lend him tools.
The strong man, with two lines of tears in his eyes, begged the people around him, “Please, I just want to open the collar on my neck, and I won’t hurt you.”
The three of Luffy walked over. Seeing this scene, a shock came from the bottom of their heart. What has happened to make such a man shed tears.
After letting go of the girl in his hands, the man begged the people around him, “Help me, I still have a wife and children at home, I have given up on the New World, and now I just want to go home, go home.”
When a man begged to go home with tears in his eyes, anyone who met him would be shocked. The eyes of the crowd watching the man clearly flashed a trace of unbearable.
But as if they had some scruples, none of them made a move. They turned their heads and closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch this scene.
However, Luffy couldn’t bear it any longer, and was about to step forward to help the man, but Hatchan grabbed him tightly and persuaded him in a deep voice, “Hey, Luffy, we can’t get involved in this matter.”
“Why!” Hearing this, Luffy stopped and looked at Hatchan, and asked doubtfully, “It’s just unlocking a collar!”
Hatchan looked at the struggling man, and replied seriously: “Don’t get involved with him, he should be a pirate who was sold by a kidnapping group and escaped from his master. Besides, he probably won’t be able to escape.”
Jingle, jingle…
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the collar on the man’s neck. Pa.s.sers-by around heard the strange sound, their faces changed drastically, and they ran to the side in panic. The farther away from the man, the better.
Not only Luffy beside him, but the man also seemed to know something, his hands tightly grasped the collar above his neck, his face was full of fear.
“It’s all because of this collar. If… if I don’t have this, I can leave here. d.a.m.n it, stop it, no, no, no…”
Boom!
The next moment, the collar on the man’s neck exploded, and the man was surrounded by orange flames and smoke. The screaming man also fell silent in an instant.
The entire upper body was covered in wounds from the explosion just now, and a big gash was blown out of the neck. Blood flowed out of the wound as if it didn’t cost money.
This man was also a fierce general before he was arrested. A huge wound of several centimeters was blown on his neck. He did not die immediately, but he had no chance of surviving.
“Ah, what’s going on in this city!” Chopper waved his hands, unable to believe what he saw in front of him.
How could such an inhuman thing happen on such a beautiful dreamlike island? Chopper couldn’t and didn’t want to believe that everything in front of him was true, but everything was true.
“Teta…” a group of people walked slowly from the front.
Hatchan grabbed Luffy and Chopper and knelt them down like the others on the street to welcome the pedestrians.
Suppressing the struggling Luffy, Hatchan reminded in a low voice, “Hey, Luffy, this is the World n.o.bles, please don’t look at him.”
Two World n.o.bles wearing gorgeous costumes and wearing two huge gla.s.s covers, supported by a group of elite soldiers, led a huge slave, with indescribable arrogance on their faces and contempt for the kneeling humans.
“Really, Father, another one is broken.” Seeing the death of her own slave, a female World n.o.ble was very upset.
The father sighed and said, “Hey, you really don’t know how to train slaves, yet you broke my captain’s slaves one after another.”
Stepping forward, she stomped on the man with her feet, the World n.o.ble complained, “It’s all because this guy is so useless. He’s just a human being.”
He took out the pistol he carried with him, and the sound of gunshots echoed loudly in the silent street.
“Bah, lowly untouchables.”
