Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Luffy jumped onto the sofa and squatted beside it, poking Kulikate's head curiously.

"What an impolite brat." Kulikate said calmly while smoking a cigarette, "Let's get back to business. I heard from the ape about your business. You want to ride the ocean current to find the island in the sky, right?"

"Yeah, that's right!" Luffy jumped off the sofa, "Uncle, can you help us?"

"Haha, you are such a dreamer, not to mention whether there is an empty island." Kulikate paused and said:

"Even if there really is, the strong ocean currents may not be able to bring you there. There is a 90% chance that you and your ship will be crushed to pieces. I am very grateful for the gold you sent, but because of this, I will not help you with this favor."

"Hey uncle, you are an idiot who dreams big dreams." Reiner walked over and sat opposite Kulikate, lit a cigarette and said:

"Sky Island does exist. We have already obtained the map of Sky Island. As for the possibility of being shattered to pieces, don't underestimate the dreams of young people."

As he spoke, Robin stepped forward, took out the worn and yellowed map, put it on the table, and said:

"I went to the island to survey it this morning. Combining it with Reiner's information, I inferred that part of Gaya Island was washed up into the sky by a huge ocean current."

"The stories left behind by your ancestors are about the golden city hidden in the right eye of the skull." Robin took out another map of Gaya Island, folded it up and put it together with the map of Sky Island.

"Is it possible that this is what you are referring to?"

Looking at the combined maps on the table, Kulikate could no longer sit still. He clapped his hands on the table excitedly and stood up.

"This! This is!"

Others also gathered around, and with Robin's arrangement, the two maps merged into one, forming the shape of a skull!

Mont Blanc Nolande was known as a great liar by the world. His story had been circulating for hundreds of years, and his entire family was ridiculed by the world.

Kulikate was originally the person who hated Nolando the most, so he went out to sea as a pirate. However, when he passed by Gaya Island, he suddenly remembered what Nolando said before his execution.

"I know now. The Golden City has sunk into the sea. That must be it."

This scene was drawn in the picture book, and Nolando was even portrayed as a silly and funny clown.

Only Kuliket knew that in the story passed down in their family, Nolando cried out this sentence at the top of his lungs before he died, and then died with hatred in his heart.

In this way, he stayed on Gaya Island, constantly diving into the sea to search for gold.

He was not trying to prove the innocence of his ancestors, quite the opposite.

He decided to spend his entire life fighting this man and put an end to Nolando in his generation!

"Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean that everything that big liar Nolando said is true!" Sanji looked at the map with wide eyes. He had heard the name Nolando so many times when he was a child.

"Do you also know this rumor?"

"Yeah, I've been hearing this story since I was a kid," Sanji responded calmly.

"Since childhood?" Kulikate glanced at Sanji, "This is a story that has been passed down in the North Sea. Are you from the North Sea?"

"Eh?"

"Isn't Sanji from the East Sea?"

Facing the doubts of several people, Sanji seemed to recall some bad memories and said lightly: "It's just some past events. I am from the North Sea, but I came to the East Sea when I was very young and grew up in the East Sea."

"If all this is true." Kulikate sat back on the sofa, holding his head and gritting his teeth:

"The man who was a world-famous liar and disrupted my life,"

Hearing this, Luffy looked dissatisfied and turned to look at Usopp.

"That's not me, idiot!"

"It turns out that the Golden City did not sink into the sea, but flew into the sky." Kulikate lowered his head and clenched his fists unconsciously.

Thinking about how I have been diving, searching and salvaging gold for so many years, and even got myself injured, it turned out that the real golden land might have been washed up into the sky.

Good for a while.

"Huh~~, but." Kulikate let out a long breath, relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, and said to everyone:

"Even so, riding the ocean current is still a matter of life and death. Are you really sure? I'm not kidding you."

Kulikate looked at Luffy and said in a low voice: "You are the captain, responsible for the lives of a whole ship. Are you sure you want to make this decision?"

Hearing this, Luffy lost his initial excitement and turned back with a calm expression.

Everyone looked at Luffy with a smile. He had already received a response from his companions. He turned to Kulikate and said firmly:

"I am sure!"

"I thought it was just one idiot, but it turned out to be a bunch of idiots." Kulikate raised the corner of his mouth and shouted:

"In that case, let's get started! Let my two stupid sons help you rebuild the boat!"

Kulikite stood up and looked at the ape and gorilla, saying, "I'll leave the boat to you. I'll talk to them about the surging current."

"I know, Dad!"

"Keep it on us!"

"Hehehe, let's go to Sky Island!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

Sky island, sky island, gold, gold, the adventure begins!

Reiner couldn't help but get excited. Isn't this what being a pirate is all about?

In terms of personality, he and Luffy can be said to be completely opposite, but in fact they are the same kind of people.

Reiner has always known that this is the reason why Luffy decisively invited him, not his fruit ability, emmm, it's hard to say.

Kulikate told them in detail about the information about the turbulent currents, which occurred quite frequently, five times a month.

But they had no chance to make mistakes. If they failed at once, both the ship and the people would sink into the sea. Reiner had the Undead Falcon, so he could save everyone's lives.

But there was no other way for the Merry, so this was an attempt that could only succeed and not fail, and we had to be fully prepared.

"So, as long as we go south from the cape of this island, we will encounter the strong current that is likely to appear tomorrow, right?" Nami summarized.

"One more thing, do you know where the south is?"

Facing Kulikate's question, Nami simply raised her hand and pointed in a direction, "Isn't it over there?"

"It's no use knowing it here. What about after we go out to sea?"

Nami suddenly realized something. The ocean currents in the Grand Line were constantly changing. Once she reached the sea, she would lose her way and could not tell the directions at all.

The record pointer was just pointing to the next island, and their target was the ocean current.

"There is a strange bird in the forest, called the South-Seeing Bird." Kulikate took out a golden statue. "It looks like this, and its beak will always point to the south."

"You must go to the forest and catch one before tomorrow."

"Forest adventure!" Luffy raised his hands excitedly and said to Reiner: "Reiner! Dinosaur dinosaur, come on, I want a dinosaur!"

"Oh, I see. So impatient." Reiner walked to the door and summoned three dinosaurs. In the small garden, in addition to the Tyrannosaurus Rex he found himself, he also collected the ones hunted by Zoro and Sanji.

As soon as they saw the dinosaur, Usopp and Chopper immediately jumped on it excitedly.

In fact, it is not necessary to see Nan Niao. It takes three days for the recording pointer to store all the records of Gaya Island. Before that, the pointer is relatively stable.

On the island, you can tell the direction, record due south and the angle of the pointer deviation, and then you can sail there accurately when the time comes.

but

"Forget it. They're just sitting around doing nothing anyway and they can't help us with modifying the ship, so let them have fun." Reiner put out his cigarette, jumped onto a dinosaur, and the group walked into the forest with fishing nets.

Until night

Chopper, Luffy and Usopp were covered in dust and dirt. They looked up and gritted their teeth at the Minami-dori on the branch.

"Damn it! You mocked us!"

"Don't let me catch you, bastard!"

"I'm going to tear its mouth apart later!"

On the other hand, Jian Nan Niao looked leisurely, even with an anthropomorphic expression, looking down at the three people below with contempt.

"Hey Luffy!"

There was a cry in the distance. The three turned around and saw Reiner riding a dinosaur, holding a bird in his hand. He smiled at them:

"I've caught it, let's go back and get ready to go."

-

At the same time, in Mogu Town on the other side of Gaya Island.

"One hundred and fifty million!"

"And these two! Each has a reward of 120 million!"

"What a joke! There are three criminals with bounties worth over 100 million on one ship!"

In a tavern, a group of people were discussing the latest bounty order that had arrived.

"Hey, look at this!"

A young man held a bounty order and shouted excitedly to his companions: "This guy is also from the Straw Hat Pirates! I came into contact with him during the day!"

"Hahaha, stop it, Rat."

"That's right, even bragging needs to be done in advance."

Hearing this, the young man called Rat shouted anxiously, "It's true! He asked me where Bellamy's base is."

As he spoke, the young man took out a few Baileys to prove that he was not bragging, "And you gave me the money! Look, otherwise you think I would treat you to drinks tonight!"

"Is it true or not? Let's see."

Rat's partner looked strange, and took the bounty order with doubt and read it, "Straw Hat Pirates Logistics Reiner, the bounty is, ten, a hundred..."

"Hahaha, what's the matter, Rat, he only has 5 million Baileys."

"Just a support member, I thought you were in contact with someone important."

"Maybe he can't even beat the three of us, hahaha."

The young man looked at his companions laughing, and Rat's face instantly turned red. Perhaps out of shame, or some inexplicable feeling, he stretched his neck and argued loudly:

"Although he only has 5 million now! But I believe that he will become famous in the future and become a great pirate, even more powerful than Whitebeard, he will definitely do it!"

However, his shouting caused laughter from guests at other tables.

"Hahaha! Even more powerful than Whitebeard!"
