Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"Is this how you use a rainbow?!"

The clouds seemed to be within reach, and birds soared alongside the boats in the clear blue sky.

The seven-colored rainbow sails forward on the ship of dreams, and the scene in front is like a scene from a fairy tale being projected into reality, magical and dreamy.

"What a nice view--!"

There was a glimmer in Uta's eyes, as if there were stars hidden in her dark pupils.

Before coming, she had imagined countless scenes of meeting Shanks, prepared countless speeches, and felt uneasy inside. But at this moment, all her worries were blown away by the fragrant spring breeze blowing towards her.

The only thing left was to beat him up.

And the other side.

"Not only humans, but even the beasts here are enormous."

In the dense forest, the snow covering the pine needles fell off under the weight, and the cold wind blew, burying the footprints just left in the snow.

Zoro swung his sword, leaving a streak of scarlet blood on the sparkling white crystal ground. In front of him lay several huge snow wolves, all of them dead.

"We've encountered so many attacks just after entering the edge of the forest. I'm afraid the road ahead won't be easy."

Zoro said calmly while looking straight ahead, slowly sheathing his sword.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his eyes darkened and glowed scarlet, and he and Luffy turned their heads sharply to look into the depths of the forest.

"Here comes a remarkable fellow."

"Ah, this aura is so strong and terrifying."

Luffy nodded, his eyes serious.

Seeing this scene, Chopper and Usopp behind them trembled and hid, looking in the direction they were looking.

Deep in the pine forest, the outline of a figure wearing a conical hat gradually emerged.

"We finally meet, Straw Hat Boy."

Chapter 424 Red Hair Fight

Driving up along the colorful rainbow bridge, the scenery of the Yang World soon slowly unfolded before them.

The first thing that catches your eye is a shore with a sandy beach. Clear spring water gushes out from a tree hole, pouring down into the bay like a waterfall.

As for why there is a beach above the tree

"It's been formed over countless years of weathering."

Dongli explained this to them.

On the way, the group learned some information about Elbaf from the giants.

Compared to the island with snow-capped mountains below, Baoshu Adam can almost be regarded as the real core of this country. The reason why the middle layer is called the Yang Realm is because it is the largest area and can be exposed to sunlight.

The underworld below is also called the 'place where the sun disappears', the first world, because it is obscured by the dense branches and leaves of the middle layer.

Hearing this name, Reiner couldn't help but start to think that perhaps in ancient times, the giants lived on the islands below?

It was only later that the precious tree Adam grew and blocked the sunlight, so the underworld without sunlight was abandoned, and the giants had to move to the tree to live.

Or perhaps, someone had already known the truth about the rising sea level, and the original purpose of planting the precious Adam tree was to be a means of protecting the giants or other races in the world when the sea flooded the world countless years in the future?

When Reiner thought of these things, his thoughts could not help but start to wander to countless other associations.

If the sea level rose naturally at a slow rate every year, to be honest, he wouldn't even bother to worry about it. By the time the world sank, his ashes would have turned to powder.

But 800 years ago, there was a real disaster that caused the sea level to rise by 200 meters at one time, thus submerging most of the land.

What if something like that were to happen again soon?

If the sea level rises another 200 meters, there will be almost no continent left in this world except the Red Earth Continent.

However, countless premonitions and potential information kept telling him that the great disaster that happened 800 years ago would really come again, and it was not far away.

Ancient weapons? Yim?

I'm afraid it's not just a man-made disaster. Whether it was Roger's words "We came too early", or Rayleigh's words "We know all the truth, but even if you know it, you are powerless now", Reiner couldn't help but think of it as a natural disaster.

He is not omnipotent. Even though he possesses unparalleled strength, he still seems insignificant in the face of some natural disasters.

For example, planets stop rotating, the world's magnetic poles reverse, and astronomical phenomena with a cycle of tens of millions of years trigger a doomsday tsunami.

There are too many things that make him helpless.

"The leaders are back!"

"Captain Dongli! Captain Brocky!"

A few passionate shouts brought Reiner back to his senses. He looked over and saw several giant children playing on the beach.

When the bow of the Great Eric appeared from the Rainbow Bridge, they excitedly waved and cheered to the soldiers returning from the battle.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later. At worst, I can live on an empty island. When the time comes, there will be plenty of ways to deal with it.

Reiner cleared his mind of all the thoughts, waved his hand and summoned several undead fishmen to prepare to furl the sails, drop anchor and wait for landing.

"I'm going to tell Chief Shanks that the two captains are back!"

"I am coming too!"

On the beach, two little boys were running back with smiles on their faces.

Others surrounded the coast to welcome the returning warriors, including some other giants who were nearby.

From their eager expressions, it can be seen that the people here are even more tough than those on Nine Snake Island.

After dropping the anchor and lowering the ladder, the members of the Giant Pirates landed on the shore, followed by Reiner and his group and Kidd and his gang.

"Haha, it seems that Red Hair is still here."

Kidd's mouth curled up and a dangerous look appeared in his eyes.

"Are you ready, brothers? After today, we will definitely have a place on the throne of the Four Emperors!"

Ignoring the gazes of others around him, Kidd raised his hand and waved, then walked straight forward with his men, his red velvet coat fluttering in the wind.

Kira wore a mask, and the two sickles on the back of his hands emitted a cold light. He followed Kidd silently, and Hit, Vaye and other cadres also followed.

"Hey! Wait a minute, are you guys going to pick a fight right now?"

Nami shouted hurriedly. She didn't expect that Kidd and his gang, who had hardly spoken along the way, would start a dispute as soon as they arrived in Elbaf without even saying hello. This was on someone else's territory.

Seeing that the other party was completely ignoring her words, she turned back to Reiner and looked for help.

Reiner shrugged and said that he had no choice.

He had no intention of stopping it, nor could he stop it.

Kidd's purpose in coming here was Red Hair. The two pirate groups already had an old grudge, and this kind of thing could only be settled by themselves. He had no reason to interfere.

After learning about the past of Red Hair and Kidd's group, even the Giant Pirates acquiesced to their actions.

In their words, any dispute can be resolved with a spectacular duel, and as long as both parties do not act recklessly and wantonly destroy their hometown, they will not intervene to stop them.

"Justice belongs only to the victor. The God of Elbaf will bear witness to all this."

"Hahaha! Don't die so easily, Kidd."

Donli and Brockie laughed heartily.

Although they only spent a short time together, Kidd's fierce, aggressive, unyielding and arrogant temper was actually quite likable in the eyes of the giants.

In Reiner's words, birds of a feather flock together. It is only natural that reckless men can sympathize with each other.

As for Red Hair, there is no need for Dongli and the others to worry about him. The best outcome is that Kidd can survive.

Walking towards the trunk, they had a deeper understanding of the hugeness of the precious tree Adam.

These intertwined branches can serve as a habitat even for the giants, and are like land to Reiner and others. Each branch is as thick as the Alchiman mangroves they saw in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the flat and open areas, tall wooden houses stand to form a village, while in some places with lush branches, those wooden houses are erected or hung on the branches with thick hemp ropes.

Green and sunshine are the themes here. Walking on the road, waves of fragrance from grass and trees hit your face, making you feel peaceful and calm.

As soon as they arrived in the Yang World, a giant immediately went to the Owl Library to inform the Straw Hat Pirates of their arrival. Reiner and the others were ready to accompany Robin to see Sauro soon.

At the moment, he happened to take a look at the fight between two red-haired people.

At the same time as they landed in the Yang Realm, in a tavern deep in the village, a large group of pirates were drinking and laughing happily.

On the left side of the bar were the leaders of the Red Hair Black Thieves Group, and on the right side were the members of the Cross Guild. Red Hair and Buggy sat next to each other in the middle.

The tables in the hall were divided into two sides with two people as the boundary, and sat a group of small cadres from the two pirate groups.

A group of Bucky's men were lying outside the door and windows, looking at the scene inside, their eyes filled with excitement and tears of joy.

"Captain Buggy~"

"He actually drank with the red-haired guy like a brother."

"Damn it, I want to go in too~"

Looking at the scene of Brother 3 and other cadres drinking and chatting inside, Buggy's men shed tears of envy.

And this time.

"Red-haired leader! The captain and his crew are back, bringing the Straw Hat Pirates and Kidd's crew with them!"

Two giant children ran up from behind, looking excited and shouting.

The atmosphere of chatting and laughing in the pub was interrupted. Everyone turned to look outside, and the atmosphere fell silent for less than two seconds.

boom!

Jesus slammed his hand on the table, with an irrepressible smile on his face in excitement.

"That means they're here too! Luffy and Usopp!"

"Oh wow! I'm finally going to see Luffy."

Lakilu stood up with a grin, opened his mouth and tore off a piece of meat in his hand.

"Hahaha, and Uta, I feel a little excited when I think about meeting them."

"Yeah, but then again, what's going on with Kidd and his gang?"
