Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 396 Moda’s Ranch

In order to fill the Hero with dolls, he had to stay on the Machine Island for about a week.

Nami drew a long chain of islands on this island and the chart structure of the island.

Since she didn't spend much time at Long Chain Island, Nami looked for some information on the navy.

Changchain Island is an island with a crown-like structure. It usually turns into ten small islands due to high tides. However, there is a big low tide here every year. By that time, the bridges connecting the islands will be Revealed and turned into a whole island.

The people living on it are nomadic people who move to another island every three years...

The pronunciation of Mechanical Island meka and Turtle Kame are opposite, which makes this island change from Turtle Island to Mechanical Island...

"Could it be that the man on stilts was separated from his companions because he had been on stilts for ten years?" Uta looked at Nami's chart and asked in sudden realization.

"Can you catch up with your companions later?"

"That's it, and there is a big distance between small islands. If you walk at the speed of an ordinary human being, you will not be able to reach the next island due to the high tide of the sea... He is still an old man..." Nami The distance between the small islands is marked, which is more than 300 kilometers.

"If you take a boat, you can directly reach the island with companions." Uta said.

"Ordinary people rarely know how to sail. Without navigation skills, it is impossible to sail.

Moreover, even if you give them a compass, it can't point to the next small island, and the pointer doesn't work, because from the point of view of the pointer, it is just a whole island..." Nami raised a finger and shook it.

"He can only wait in place for twenty years, or rely on transportation such as horseback riding. He can move to the next island every year and catch up with his companions in five years."

"That's it..."

"This is just my speculation. When you return, why don't you go to the island to verify it?" Nami said with a smile, "By the way, do you want any help?"

By the time Nami finished drawing all the sea charts, Luffy's ship was almost completely transformed by the owner of Ratched Island.

"The price is 180,000 beli. It can perform simple combat and life services, eliminating the mechanical feeling."

Luffy looked at the mechanical maid on the Hero and introduced it with satisfaction.

"There is also a small production line on the ship. If the number of people is reduced, it can be replenished at any time."

The mechanical maid was loaded with bullets and carried a submachine gun on her back. There were more than 500 people standing on the ship, looking extremely imposing.

"Are you satisfied? Lieutenant Colonel?" Ratchet rubbed his hands like flies.

"Well, I think these soldiers can continue to be improved. You can continue to study them on the island. I will come over at any time to purchase the dolls." Luffy nodded to Ratched.

The combat effectiveness of these mechanical dolls is equivalent to that of the ordinary Sihai Branch Navy, and cannot be compared with the soldiers of the headquarters.

This is true in terms of physical fighting ability, after all, it is cheap.

However, when holding a gun, it is not much different from the third-class soldier in the headquarters. After all, it is covered by heavy firepower.

"There are other products here, including gliders that can carry people on short-distance flights, and electric fans..."

"I'll give you some..."

The Hero left the Mechanical Island, and Uta waved to the giant Turtle Fairy's head, "Goodbye, Turtle!"

Luffy changed the mechanical maid's clothes into those of a naval soldier on the ship. Five hundred mechanical soldiers made the Hero look a lot more substantial, although it was still not enough to fill this huge warship.

Simple coping is enough.

"Since we are going to the new world, we first go to the Kingdom of Lulucia to replenish supplies."

Nami said while holding a chart to make plans.

"New World~New World~"

Uta hummed the song she had just written and lay on the deck chair to soak up the sun.

Robin walked out of the room with a telegram from the Navy, "This is an investigation order against the Commodore."

"We'll see when we get to the new world. It's still far away now." Luffy said, holding the fishing rod and throwing it into the sea.

"Okay, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel."

The Hero returned to Long Chain Island under the control of Nami.

As soon as she returned, she saw the old man at the edge of the island, with a tent that had just been set up next to him.

"Hey, old uncle, are you trapped on this island? Do you need help?"

Nami asked as she leaned on the ship and pointed at the Hero.

"Eh? Is that okay?"

The old man on stilts was taking the bow off a tall white horse. Hearing this, he looked at Nami in surprise.

"Get on the boat. We are going to the Kingdom of Lucia. We can give you a ride in the middle."

"Trouble! You guys are really good people." The old man got on the boat with his white horse.

"Your white horse is so big and beautiful!" Weiwei looked up at the old man's white horse.

This horse is much taller than Alabasta's white horse.

"Hahaha, her name is Shirley, she is a mare." The old man patted the horse's leg and said with a smile.

"After I came down, I planned to stay on the island for more than 20 years, waiting for my people to return to the island. However, I didn't expect that Shirley hadn't left yet and had been waiting for me on the island for ten years, so I So I packed my luggage and prepared to wait for the tide to go out, relying on Shirley to catch up with my friends..."

The old man smiled and said that the relationship between humans and animals can be so close that an animal can wait for its owner for more than ten years.

"Shirley is the most beautiful creature on Long Chain Island. No one can match the pace she runs on the prairie." The old man told the girls the story between them.

"Old man, did you migrate clockwise or counterclockwise?" Nami asked, holding the map.

"Thinking about it, it should be clockwise."

Nami quickly calculated the approximate location of the island where the old people were located. The Hero changed its direction slightly, crossed the inland river of the island, and headed straight for another small island.

In a few hours, Nami completed the journey that would normally take several years.

"Old uncle, your companions are probably on this island. If not, you can find them quickly by horse..." Nami compared the distance and said to the old uncle.

"I'm saved. Thank you. Even if my friends are not on this island, I have saved several years of time. Thank you very much." The old man led the horse, carrying a lot of supplies on the horse, and began to disembark.

"You're welcome, are we from the navy?" Dasqi smiled.

"Remember to learn navigation. In this case, everyone will not have to wait for several years to migrate." Uta waved to him and said.

"I know~" The old man turned around and waved.

Luffy held the fishing rod, "Goodbye, but I've been fishing for several hours and I can't catch anything?"

Moo Moo, who was under the sea, looked at Luffy's small earthworm bait and sighed helplessly. This is just what the small fish in the inland river like to eat, right?

Who would eat the fish in the deep sea if it weren’t for a few tens of centimeters of bait?

Then he caught an eel, forced it to open its mouth, and hung it on the hook.

The eel was in pain and began to struggle.

Luffy took the fishing rod and pulled hard, and a huge ten-meter-long eel rose from the sea.

"It's conger eel! Nokigao, I want to eat this with teriyaki sauce!" Luffy's mouth was filled with saliva, he was already hungry.

"Know it."

As the aroma of food smelt, Nojigo easily processed the ingredients with a sharp knife, "The milk on the ship is running out, we have to restock it."

"So fast?" Nami bit into the juice.

"When we dock at Lulucia Kingdom later, we'll find a ranch to replenish."

"I heard from my father that the princesses and nobles of the Kingdom of Lucia like to set fire to those who oppose them." Weiwei remembered what her father once told her.

"They are a very bad royal family."

"Because of this, the revolutionary army in this country is also very active." Robin said.

"The Revolutionary Army~ In terms of position, our navy has to take action against them, but I personally hope they can succeed." Nami thought for a while and said.

While chatting, the Hero arrived at an island near the lower reaches of the Kingdom of Lucia at night. After asking passers-by, they learned the location of the local ranch.

"Is anyone at home? We are the navy and want to buy some milk." Noqigao and Dasqi came to the door.

The person who opened the door was a petite and cute girl wearing a white headscarf, a blue T-shirt, and a long skirt that looked a bit like national costumes.

"Are you from the G2 base?"

The little girl opened the door excitedly and asked Dasqi.

"No, we are from the G3 base. What, do you know the navy at the G2 base?" Dasqi squatted down and asked the little girl.

"My name is Moda. My parents are working as chefs at the G2 Naval Base. They haven't been home for several years because of work. I miss them very much." Moda replied.

This little girl, who is only more than ten years old, is already looking after the huge ranch at home alone.

"It turns out that's the case, because if you work, there's nothing you can do." Dasqi said.

"If you want to buy milk, I have a lot of fresh and delicious milk here."

Nuo Qigao tasted it and found that it was indeed very delicious milk, very fresh and sweet.

"By the way, if your parents are working as chefs, then why don't you recommend your milk to Lieutenant General Gumir?

It just so happens that the coffee at G2 base tastes terrible. As long as you add milk and turn it into milk coffee, it won't taste so bad. "

Dasqi, who likes drinking coffee, had an idea and introduced it to Moda.

"If you can interest the Lieutenant General, I can send your parents here to purchase milk."

"At that time, you can meet your parents."

"I had this idea, and even wrote a letter of introduction, but I couldn't leave. The base is really far away from here, and I still have to look after my home..." Moda said.

"Then it's all up to us. We'll help you send the letter of introduction to the base." Nuo Qi Gao assured, patting her chest.

"Really? Thank you very much!" Moda hugged Nokigao happily, pressing her whole body on her trembling chest.

Naturally, this side mission did not require the Hero to return to the G2 base to deliver it. Nokigao used a fax machine to transmit the letter of introduction to the G2 base, and Lieutenant General Gumil there received the faxed photos.

A petite and cute little girl was holding a tin can of milk, followed by a big gray cow.

"How about a nice glass of milk?" - Moda.

The following is Dasqi’s recommendation: Coffee with some milk and sugar will taste better.

"Shall we ask the chef to go over and do some shopping?"

Lieutenant General Gumil looked at Moda's photo, touched his bald head, and had an idea in his mind.

The next day, the navy logistics ship with the name "Gohan" on it set off for the Kingdom of Lulucia. The whole ship looked like an iron steamer, and its purpose could be seen at a glance.

"Dad! Mom!"

Moda recognized at a glance that the people who came to purchase were her parents whom she had not seen for a long time. The three of them hugged each other and enjoyed the rare day of reunion.

……

In the East China Sea, a small boat was speeding forward on the sea, and a long line of fire was sprayed from its tail.

"Hey, Ace, your speed is getting faster and faster. Be careful not to brake in time and hit someone else." Sabo hugged Ace's waist with one hand and pressed his hat with the other, saying to Ace.

"How is that possible? Do you think my domineering power is just for show? Unless I meet someone who does this too and disturbs my perception..."

Ace rode the wind and waves, "There shouldn't be anyone in a place like the East China Sea who can do this, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small boat appearing in front of him at some point.

"Hey! Are you kidding me! Get out of the way!"

Ace's eyes almost popped out of his head.

When did this ship appear in front of me!
There seemed to be no one controlling the boat on the opposite side. The boat did not dodge and collided head-on with Ace.

"Wow!"

Collided!
With the exaggerated kinetic energy, the three of them were knocked into the air.

"You guy!"

Ace saw that on the opposite side, the guy who had interfered with his course was sleeping with his head in his arms, not taking the collision seriously at all!

The three people fell into the sea at the same time. Ace bubbled and began to lose strength.

The curse of the sea has taken effect!
"What's wrong, who is attacking me?" Zoro yawned and found himself soaking in the water, with his boat floating in the distance.

"It's over, I fell into the water!" Zoro struggled a few times and was about to swim when his stomach growled.

No...no energy. I haven't eaten for a week...

He pulled the water twice and sank into the sea.

"Ace!"

Sabo fished Ace out and found that another person had also fallen into the water, looking like he couldn't swim.

He threw Ace into the boat, dived again, and fished the green-haired swordsman out of the water.

"saved!"

Ace and Zoro spit out seawater together.

"Hey, you guy, don't you watch the road?" Ace rested for a while, regained his strength, and shouted angrily at the green grass-headed swordsman beside him.

"Hey, you guy, you still have the nerve to talk to me? I'm sleeping, no matter what, it's all your fault, right?" Zoro said loudly with a few tic-tac-toe symbols appearing on his forehead, clenching his fists.

"Where can I sleep while sailing? It seems that you are wrong!" Ace became even more angry.

Is it still reasonable to sleep while sailing?
"You two, please be quiet!" Sabo held his forehead.
