Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

The country of Wan, Jiuli.

A group of eight people plus a cat and a horse were walking swaggeringly along the coast. They were all wearing "strange clothes" that were out of tune with the locals.

"Brother Jerry, is this the place where you landed that year? It looks like..."

Hearing Carrot's question, Jerry, Ace and others who had been here before looked at the slightly desolate beach behind them and looked at each other with serious expressions.

Then, Jerry looked at the village that seemed to have been ruined in the distance, exhaled softly, and smiled: "Yes, Garrot, although it looks dilapidated now, we did repair it here for a short time."

"Something seems wrong." Deus spoke softly, also staring at the village of Braliss at the end of his sight.

Ace nodded, "There aren't many people in the village."

"Judging from the dilapidated state it is in, the village must have been abandoned for quite some time, and there may have been a conflict there." As everyone moved forward, Skarr looked at the scene which became increasingly clear, and made a conclusion.

Cavendish and the others didn't understand what was going on, but they could sense that the atmosphere was unusual, and their faces also became serious.

"Clang!"

"Hand over the food!"

"Hand over the food!"

"Dear... dear brothers, what I said is true. We ran out of food a few months ago, so..."

"Go away! We'll find food if there's any!"

As Jerry and his party stepped into the edge of the village, they heard a noise coming from a house.

Hearing these noises, Jerry snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Let's go! That's Xiaoyu's voice!" Ace's face darkened, and he rushed out closely after Jerry.

Seeing this, Deus and the others quickly took steps and rushed towards the source of the sound.

"Ugh!"

"Who are you!?"

"Ah! Spare my life! We..."

On the way, they only heard a series of muffled bangs and intermittent pleas for mercy, which lasted only for a moment, and then quickly returned to calm.

When Deuce and the others arrived at the door of the dilapidated house that seemed to blend in with the natural environment, a green figure flew past them.

"Wow! Brother Jerry, Brother Ace! Is it really you?"

Everyone looked closely and saw five skinny men lying sprawled out in the dilapidated hut. A little girl in a light green short skirt and kimono was being held gently in Jerry's arms, held against his chest for a moment and then put back on the ground. Ace, standing next to them, smiled brightly and waved to say hello.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see."

At this time, a man lying on the ground groaning, holding his abdomen, pointed at Jerry and Ace with a look of shock on his face: "You...you are the pirates from before?"

Zeus stared at the skinny man's face, but found that he had no impression of him, so he asked first: "Have you seen us?"

"Of course, I was once a resident here..." The man answered subconsciously, glared at everyone fiercely, and asked with gritted teeth: "Ahem! How dare you come back? How dare you come back? "

After hearing this, Deus and the others were completely confused.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Scar tilted his head, his tone full of confusion.

Xiaoyu waved her hands excitedly and took over the conversation loudly: "I know what he means!"

Jerry nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a domineering aura flashed by. The men who fell to the ground and groaned from time to time all had their eyes rolled back and completely lost consciousness.

Then, he bent down and gently stroked Xiaoyu's head, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, tell me slowly, what happened in the village?"

"it is good!"

Following Xiaoyu's explanation, everyone came to know the changes that had taken place in Bianli Village over the past two years.

Generally speaking, with the industrial development led by Kaido and others, the ecological environment of Wano Country is further deteriorating, and the Eikasa Village is not immune.

The river water was polluted, the famine became more serious, and the land of Bianli Village gradually lost its former vitality and became no longer suitable for ordinary people to live.

In the more than two years since Jerry and his companions left, various reasons, such as food scarcity, forced the villagers to migrate in search of a new place to live.

During this wave of relocation, Xiaoyu always believed that Jerry and Ace would return and had no intention of leaving.

Not only that, when some villagers were starving, the kind little girl would quietly take out the food left by Jerry and others and share it with those in need.

After a while, it is inevitable that it will be discovered by some people with ulterior motives.

Some people with ill intentions, together with a group of ruffians, became insatiable after accidentally tasting the sweetness, and kept putting pressure on Xiaoyu in an attempt to squeeze more food.

Faced with this threat, Xiaoyu's master, due to his identity, did not want to interact with too many people, and transferred some supplies for the sake of protecting her.

However, the thugs never gave up their harassment. Looting and smashing were their usual tactics, and even made it impossible for other villagers to live in peace. The few warriors who originally guarded the village were often beaten and bruised all over. This situation further accelerated the villagers' pace of moving out.

Even though the ruffians had already moved away with the crowd, they would still come back every now and then to cause trouble for Xiaoyu. This was what Jerry and the others had seen before.

In addition, upon learning that Jerry and others had stayed here and attacked Onigashima, the current general of Wano Country, Orochi, made things difficult for the villagers here in both overt and covert ways.

After listening to Tama's story, Carrot was indignant about the current situation of Wano Country and even Haikasa Village. After all, she was very clear about the deep connection between the Minks and Wano Country.

Not only her, but Cavendish, Brooke and Kalina also looked indignant.

At first, they had a faint longing for this country that they had only heard of before.

Brook, in particular, has some complicated feelings about this place because of Ryuma, and the national treasure of Wano Country "Akisui" is still hanging in his room.

Even people like Deus who had visited this place before and were mentally prepared could not help but look depressed.

Jerry clapped his hands, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the air, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop looking constipated, let's move on..."

"Who is constipated!" Deus and others shouted in unison, interrupting him.

"See, isn't this good?" Jerry said with a smile, then looked down at the little girl in front of him: "Xiaoyu, do you still remember our original agreement?"

"Yes! Of course, I have also been working towards becoming the charming female ninja that Big Brother Ace requires!" Xiaoyu's eyes were shining with excitement, and she answered loudly with her fists clenched in front of her chest.

Upon hearing this, Cavendish and the others immediately turned their surprised eyes to Ace.

"Ahaha! Xiaoyu, I was right, you have great ambitions!" Ace ignored everyone's gazes, laughed and gave a thumbs up.

"Go away!" Jerry waved his hand at Ace in disdain, turned his head and smiled at Xiaoyu, "I mean another agreement. We said that when we come back again, we will make this place a country where everyone can have enough food to eat."

Then Jerry added: "Maybe that's a little presumptuous, but at least we can try to remove the mountain that's weighing on your heads, so that you all have a chance to live a peaceful life."

Xiaoyu stared with bright eyes and pursed her lips: "But, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Her eyes were clear, as if she also knew the key difficulties.

Everyone looked at each other, then started laughing.

"Danger is inevitable, but we are no pushovers." Ace clenched his fists confidently, his eyes filled with burning flames.

"That's right, Xiaoyu, don't worry, we are not the kind of idiots who would rush forward and give ourselves lives when we feel like being the king." Jerry looked around and patted his chest.
