One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 104 Adventure in the Small Garden [6K]

"Pfft..."

The little Snowball Beast was rubbed so hard that his head turned dizzy and his soft fur exploded.

After coming to its senses, it leaned close to Shanuo's cheek affectionately, as if it was enjoying it very much and wanted to do it again.

But at this moment, the little guy suddenly pricked up his ears alertly, then rolled into Xia Nuo's arms with a "chirp" sound, and clung tightly to his clothes.

"Brother! What's that thing in your hand?!"

Nami's excited scream suddenly came from the cabin. The next second, the orange-haired girl rushed onto the deck in a hurry, her eyes shining with pink hearts:

"Give me a hug! Come on, come on, give me a hug!"

Before Xia Nuo could react, she reached out and grabbed it impatiently.

"Chirp!"

The Snowball Beast in his arms was trembling with fear, but there was no way to avoid it, so he turned his head and "puffed" hard to spit out a ball of snow-white cold air -

Crack, crack, crack. Nami's outstretched claws were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

"It fell from the sky and somehow took me as its master."

Xia Nuo picked up the little glutinous rice dumpling and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't be nervous, she's my sister, we're one."

Falling from the sky?

Nami believed it without a doubt and exclaimed:
"The Grand Line is truly magical... Bro, you're so lucky! Damn it! I should have stayed on the deck. I might have been mistaken for the master!"

As for her frozen arm... she certainly didn't care. She shook her hand, and with a swish, a blazing flame ignited on her arm, instantly melting the frost into droplets.

Now it was Snowballmon's turn to stare with wide eyes.

It looked left and right at Nami's arm, but couldn't figure out where the flame came from.

Xia Nuo found it funny and rubbed the small glutinous rice ball. It felt really good... Well, why not just call it Nuomizi from now on?

This name should be very suitable for the previous forms. It’s not too late to change it after it evolves into Angewomon.

As for what Snowballmon just sprayed out, it should be the ice skill "Diamond Star", right?
Shanuo didn't care much about it.

Unlike Gin, Snowmon, as a Digimon, has its attributes and skills constantly changing during its evolution.

There was no need to pay attention to the previous skills. He was now looking forward to this little guy evolving into his ultimate form as soon as possible.

At that time, Angewomon will hang in the sky like a god, drawing the bow with one hand and shooting the sacred arrow with the other...

Tsk, that god-like grace is truly captivating.

——Well, the sniper on the ship will be you, Snowballmon!

Snapped!
Shanuo slapped the sniper.

The little guy didn't know that God had given him a great mission at such a young age. He looked at Nami with curiosity, and after hesitating for a while, he let her hold him in her arms.

"Woooooow, so soft!"

Nami smiled happily and kept teasing Snowballmon.

"Hey, Nami, didn't I ask you to deliver food to Nojigo? Why are you back so soon?" Xia Nuo asked curiously.

Nami didn't even look up, still absorbed in playing with the dumplings: "Do I need to send her off? She came out on her own! Look—" She nodded towards the cabin, "Isn't she here?"

Xia Nuo turned around and saw that it was true.

Nojigao hummed a light tune, holding a plate of breakfast steadily in her hand, and walked over with light steps.

The ends of her hair were still stained with sweat, but her face was filled with unconcealable joy. When she saw Xia Nuo, even the corners of her eyes curved into crescents.

"elder brother!"

"Have you mastered the domineering power?" Looking at her excited expression, Xia Nuo knew it without having to guess.

"Yeah! I've mastered winding and hardening, look!"

Nuo Qigao raised her fists joyfully. Buzz! A dark sheen instantly coated her entire arms, making them look as if they had been cast in ink.

"The intensity is pretty good."

Xia Nuo reached out and pinched it. It felt as hard as iron. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and praised it generously. "I think it won't be long before the name 'Black Wrist' will be replaced."

"Hey, that's still far away."

Nuo Qigao was modest, but her lips were almost raised to her ears. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her shoulders relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
"But... this way, I won't hold everyone back!"

A month ago in Rogue Town, she was the only one who was clearly at a disadvantage when fighting against four major generals from her headquarters, which made her feel a little resentful.

If it were her current self who went, huh, huh, the one who would be at a disadvantage would be the major general from our headquarters!
"what?"

As soon as she sat down to have breakfast, she noticed Snowballmon and was instantly attracted to him.

At this time, the rest of the people also came to the deck with their breakfast and gathered around curiously.

Snowball Beast also understood that these were all his master's friends, so he was not afraid of strangers and had a lot of fun playing with them.

But there is one thing that makes everyone marvel.

The little guy only allowed girls to touch him. As soon as Zeff and Smoker stretched out their fingers, they were twisted away with a snort, leaving them looking embarrassed.

It seems unwilling to come into contact with any opposite sex except its owner.

"It looks like it's a girl."

Nami was amused. She pinched Snowballmon's face and laughed, "I just wonder what he'll look like when he grows up. Will he be like Gin, enlarged proportionally and become a super-sized Mochi?"

"Roar!"

Ah Yin, who was basking in the sun, immediately growled in dissatisfaction and shook his majestic mane.

What a joke!
It was clearly a chubby ball when it was young, but now it is the heroic Silver Wolf King. How can it be said to be a simple geometric enlargement?

Then he glanced at Xia Nuo secretly with resentment.

Xia Nuo didn't notice its gaze. He looked at the lively scene, smiled and shook his head. He picked up the coffee cup, left the bow deck to everyone, and quietly retreated to the stern.

While sipping coffee in a quiet environment, I continued to browse the remaining three items.

[Dark Magician Girl Summoning Card]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 3000 points]

Description: In the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, this card, originally included in Yugi Muto's deck, summons a phantom of the Dark Magician Girl once for 24 hours. This phantom can act arbitrarily under the player's control, but cannot physically damage or affect worlds without card battles.

[Seller's Note: Despair, accept the reality of losing your Leah Card, poor game boy~]

Is this guy dressed as Pegasus?

Shanuo shook his head and gave up the purchase.

He was once a card player, but he was more of a pragmatist.

If it was only one or two hundred points, I might collect it for the sake of the original card, but three thousand points?

The price is too high, so forget it.

……

【Cat Fairy’s Beans】

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 3000 points]

Description: In the Dragon Ball universe, these Senzu beans, cultivated by the Cat Sage of Karin Tower, come in a pack of two. Taking one will keep you full for ten days. These beans possess a powerful restorative power, instantly restoring the strength of those who are extremely tired and weak, restoring their bodies to peak condition.

【Seller's note: None, lost contact】

Senzu beans!

Xia Nuo cheered up and added it to the shopping cart without hesitation.

Look, this seller in Dragon Ball World is so honest and sincere. The same 3,000 points, compared with the previous one, the actual value is so different!
This thing is simply a life-saving artifact in battle. It can pull people back from the brink of death as long as there is still a breath of life left.

Besides, there are only two of them.

Excellent value for money, a must buy!

…………

The last tenth item was a bit unremarkable, so Xia Nuo simply ignored it. In the end, he only bought two items, but both were things he liked and was quite satisfied with.

A total of 7000 points were spent, leaving 37000 points.

“The expenses this time are quite high.”

He closed the system panel and drank the remaining coffee in the cup. "It doesn't matter, I'll have another one soon."

The green ghost Tori, the red ghost Broki.

The small garden where these two legendary giants from a hundred years ago lived will soon... arrive.

…………

three days later.

"Everyone, look! Arishima—!"

Nokigo's joyful voice came from the watchtower, startling several seabirds that had landed on the mast.

Nuomi, who was napping on top of Ayin's head, suddenly started up, his round body jumped up, and he looked around vigilantly.

"Is it finally here?!"

With a series of creaking doors opening, everyone rushed out and the originally quiet deck suddenly became lively.

Ten days—ten whole days, drifting on the vast ocean.

Even Kuina, who is the most tolerant of loneliness, would occasionally stare at the boundless sea after meditation, not to mention the cheerful Nami and others.

At this moment, everyone was crowded at the bow, looking around excitedly like a group of children seeing a candy store.

really.

At this moment, an island with lush greenery and lush forests has appeared in the field of vision.

"Is this the little garden?"

As Nami marked the location of the island on the nautical chart, she couldn't help but turn her head and ask curiously, "Hey, Uncle Zeff, are there really two huge giants here?"

"Didn't I tell you that because of the rumors about the island-eating goldfish, few people go this way. I avoided it in the beginning and haven't seen it with my own eyes yet."

Zhepu grinned, "But this time, I can make up for my regrets and explore the island with everyone."

Everyone laughed and nodded.

giant?

Who is afraid?

With a captain like Shanuo who makes people feel extremely at ease, there is no need to worry about the mysterious island with giants.

Even if it is the gate of hell, everyone dares to follow behind and give it a try!
……

Soon, the End docked.

The atmosphere of the tropical rainforest hit us and the temperature rose rapidly.

"What the hell, this horrible weather..." Nami tied her orange hair up high and kept fanning herself with her hands, "How can there be such a hot island!"

Ah Yin and Nuomizi were already panting from the heat, the two furry balls lying pitifully in the shade.

Especially the little Snowballmon, with white ice cream-like stuff dripping down his body, making people worry that if he was left in the sun, he would melt into a puddle of water. "You two stay here."

Xia Nuo smiled and rubbed the two fur balls, "If there is anything unusual..."

"Pfft!"

Nuomizi suddenly stood up and tried to put on a fierce expression, but it was too hot and collapsed with a snap.

"I don't need you, idiot!"

Nami was extremely distressed and quickly pulled out an electric fan. "Just ask Gin to contact us. He has a keen nose and will be able to find us in no time."

The electric fan was modified by Smoker and ice cubes were stored inside. The wind it blew out was cool, and Yin and Nuomici finally calmed down.

The rest of the people changed into cool summer clothes and stepped into the forest on the soft humus soil.

Walk all the way down.

The closer you get to the depths of the forest, the more you can feel the rough and primitive wildness.

In the humid environment, giant trees that require ten people to hug are covered with vines, and ferns grow taller than people. The sunlight is filtered by the layers of treetops, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.

Occasionally, you can see huge animal bones half-buried in the fallen leaves - these are obviously not left behind by ordinary beasts.

This place seems to be really isolated from the world. It has not been disturbed by the outside world for hundreds of years and has retained the appearance of ancient times.

Roar--! ! !
A deafening roar suddenly exploded, and the entire forest fell silent.

This was followed by the sound of heavy footsteps, "dong dong dong", which caused the ground to tremble slightly, and the treetops above everyone's heads shook violently, rustling.

Whoa!

Two huge saber-toothed dragons suddenly popped their heads out from the dense forest, their amber pupils fixed on everyone.

They opened their bloody mouths, made greedy gurgling sounds in their throats, and their sticky saliva dripped into the bushes.

"Wow!" The three girls instantly huddled together and exclaimed in unison, "It's a dinosaur!!!"

It turns out that dinosaurs really do exist in this world!
"Hey."

Xia Nuo raised his head nonchalantly and glanced at the two big guys. "You scared my sister. If you don't want to become food, don't do anything stupid."

hum!
A terrifying aura like ripples quietly spread from him. The air around him seemed to suddenly solidify, and even the leaves stopped rustling.

After exchanging this seemingly ordinary glance, the two saber-toothed dragons froze in a sudden movement and began to sweat profusely.

They suddenly let out a whimper of fear, tucked their thick tails between their hind legs, turned around and ran away.

The heavy footsteps soon turned into a panicked run, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

"..."

Smoker, who was about to take action, was slightly startled and inserted the half-pulled out ten hands back into his back.

Did the captain just use some domineering Haki and scare them like this?

Such a convenient ability, really enviable...

I wish I could also awaken the Conqueror's Haki.

Is this possible?

He lit a cigar and shook his head in self-mockery.

I am already thirty years old, and it seems that I should no longer hold on to this kind of lucky fantasy.

But then again.

Before this, I had always been a navy soldier, a soldier whose duty was to obey orders. It was the most difficult for me to awaken this "king's talent".

The Marine Headquarters is huge and full of strong people, but the only ones who have awakened the Conqueror's Haki are Marshal Sengoku and old man Garp.

Now he has left the navy and followed that man, once again on this sea, pursuing his own path of justice.

When the fog of confusion in my heart is completely dispelled, perhaps... there may come a day when that day comes.

With this in mind.

Smoker's mouth curved into a grin.

"Hey, Smoker."

Xia Nuo's puzzled voice came, "Why are you in a daze? Didn't you notice? Why don't you get rid of the thing on your shoulder?"

On my shoulder?
Smoker turned around in confusion, cigar in his mouth.

He saw a giant cockroach, about eighty centimeters long, lying quietly on his right arm.

The shiny black shell was glistening with oil, and its slender tentacles were trembling slightly.

Seeing him looking at it, it actually tilted its head and its wings clicked twice, as if it was about to fly towards his face at the next moment.

"..."

The cigar fell from the corner of his suddenly stiff mouth.

thump!
The once notorious White Hunter's eyes rolled back as he fell straight back, sending up a cloud of fallen leaves.

------

"Hey, wake up, wake up!"

A rough big hand patted his face.

Cold, shaking...

But Smoker's eyelids just trembled and he didn't open them in the end.

"Tell me, how did you become a naval captain with such courage?"

Zeff sighed, hoisted Smoker onto his shoulders, and continued on his way with the others.

Really, it’s just a cockroach.

When he was drifting on the sea, the kitchen environment was terrible. The animals he stepped on and killed with pesticides could be piled up into a mountain.

Is this giant cockroach really a thing...

The person with his eyes closed on my back twitched his lips, preferring never to wake up in his entire life.

It was so embarrassing! Even a few little girls just screamed, and I actually collapsed directly. I was clearly thinking about the domineering color a second ago...

Boom-! ! !
There was another deafening bang, this time even more violent than before.

The entire forest was shaking, and the ground was shaking violently as if there was an earthquake.

"Oh oh oh!"

Nami's eyes lit up as she looked around excitedly: "Are there more dinosaurs? What will it be this time? Tyrannosaurus? Brachiosaurus? Or..."

"It's not a dragon, it's a human, little girl."

A gentle yet thunderous voice suddenly came from above everyone's heads.

Shadows descended, blocking out the sky and the sun. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a huge face looking down at them, with a long beard hanging down and eyes under the helmet with a friendly smile.

"This, this is..." Nami's eyes widened in fear.

"Huge, huge..." Nojigo also stuttered.

"Giant! There really are giants!!!" Kuina screamed.

"Hehehe, thank you so much!"

The giant raised his left hand, holding two struggling saber-toothed dragons. His thick fingers easily pinched the back of their necks, like holding two disobedient kittens.

"These two guys are very cunning. They have been hiding deep in the forest and refused to show up. But just now, they were scared by you and rushed straight to me!"

He laughed heartily, the sound rustling the leaves, and with a casual stroke of his sword, he chopped off the heads of the two saber-toothed dragons.

"Now we have plenty of meat. I'm a pretty good cook. How about I treat you guys to a barbecue? Oh... by the way, did you bring any wine? It would be wonderful to have some good wine to go with the meat!"

"There's plenty of wine."

Xia Nuo was infected by the rough laughter and couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and ordered, "Hey! Kuina, you and Uncle Zhepu, go back to the boat and get some more liquor."

"Yes, Captain!"

Kuina responded immediately. Before leaving, she looked at the giant from left to right and couldn't help asking:
"Hey, uncle, are you really the legendary giant from Elbaf?"

"Oh! How amazing! You know so much, little girl! It's been ages since anyone mentioned the name of the village to me!"

The giant was a little surprised, then burst into laughter.

"Yes, I'm Donli from Elbaf. Everyone used to call me the Green Ghost, but you guys... really gave me a scare. If I remember correctly, the last time anyone came to this island was a year or two ago!"

…………

In the center of the small garden.

Here, one in the south and one in the north, lie two extremely large white skeletons covered with moss, as if they have been dead for many years.

Beneath the giant bone on the south side, a bonfire was crackling.

Dongli sat cross-legged, his thick fingers deftly handling the saber-toothed dragon's internal organs, then skewered them on an iron skewer as thick as a tree trunk and roasted them slowly over a fire.

The oil drips and the aroma rises with the green smoke.

Xia Nuo and others were also sitting around the campfire. After chatting and greeting Dong Li along the way, they had become very familiar with each other.

The giants from Elbaf are generally simple-minded, and Dongli is the kind of person who is generous and magnanimous, making him very comfortable to get along with.

"Wow, what a great wine! Strong and fragrant!"

Dongli held the barrel and drank it all in one gulp, smacking his lips with satisfaction. "And I don't know why, but it tastes so familiar... Hmm, now I remember it. It's a bit like the wine we used to have on our ship, but it's richer and has a more lingering aftertaste."

"Really?" Zhepu was stunned. "This is the wine I brought from the East China Sea. I found it on a particularly large ship. Could it be the ship that Brother Dongli and the others used?"

Zhepu, who had a big beard, called Dongli, who looked like a middle-aged man, "Big Brother", but no one present found it strange.

There was even a suspicion that Zhepu was taking advantage.

Because, after the exchange just now.

Everyone already knows that this Blue Demon Touri is actually the captain of the Giant Pirates who was regarded as a formidable enemy by the World Government a hundred years ago.

The reward amount is as high as 100 million berries.

It may not sound like a very high number, but that was nearly a hundred years ago!

Prices were not at the same level as they are now.

Compared with his partners, Shanuo is more aware of the value of 100 million Baileys.

If I remember correctly, in the timeline six years later, Blue Oni and Red Oni went out to sea again, and the World Government directly increased their bounty to 18 billion Beli!
Even above most of the imperial deputies.

"Oh, my boat?"

Dong Li scratched his head in confusion. "It must be just a coincidence. Our companions took our ship and went straight back to Elbaf. They wouldn't have gone to the East China Sea."

He didn't care at all, so no one asked any more questions.

Dongli continued to concentrate on spreading the barbecue ingredients with his head down. The wine brought by these kind-hearted humans was of very good quality. He must show his skills and not let them down!

boom! !

But just at this moment, there was an earth-shaking noise from the whole island, and everyone present, except Dongli, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on now?"

Nami stood up angrily and looked around. What was going on with this island? There were earthquakes every now and then. How could people eat properly?
