Chapter 452 Porusalino: When We Are Together, We Are a Funny Group, but when We Are Apart, We Are Just a Bunch of People - Straw Hat Crew
Just when Nami knew part of the truth about Jigurla and this Domos Island, on the back of the island, there was a house at the end of a jungle path where the sea wind blew.
It has walls made of stone and a wooden roof. There is a chimney on the roof. In addition to the kitchen for cooking, there are at most one or two rooms. It is a very small hut.
The warm summer sunshine shines in through the small window of the small house, and a voice murmurs in sleep from the bed in the corner of the room:
"Meat……"
Yes, the one who made this sound was Luffy, who had the "King's Stomach" at the level of the Pirate King.
"are you awake?"
Wearing an iron helmet, Sanduang was looking down at Luffy who had just woken up from his dream. His mask was open and he was staring at Luffy on the bed without blinking. On the monocle of his left eye, there was something like a phone bug screen. A continuously scrolling stream of data displayed on.
"ha……"
After a long yawn and a big stretch, Luffy got up. Sugar watched Luffy's every move with great interest.
"Sure enough, when you are conscious, the ability of the Devil Fruit cannot be activated when it touches you? The Dark Fruit is such a terrifying ability..."
Sugar slowly reached out and grabbed Luffy's wrist. At this moment, although she could still feel the "childlike power" that usually moved according to her heart, she couldn't control it at all, let alone "release it". To the point of turning Luffy into a toy.
Just like the reason why it cannot be elementalized, the reason why the Dark Fruit can invalidate the abilities of other ability users is because after touching it, the power stimulated by other ability users is directly swallowed by darkness the moment it is released.
"I remember you... I met you in Marineland! You are a marine, right?"
Luffy looked at Sugar with wide eyes.
"My sister is Monet, you should be more familiar with her,"
Sugar showed a sly smile, "As for me...haven't you heard about the Three Untouchables of Marine Fando at the Naval Academy?"
"The three untouchables of Malinfando?"
Luffy pretended to be thinking hard, "I think I've heard of it, but it seems like..."
"You, as a nature-type Dark Fruit user, I, as a Superman-type Childlike Fruit user, and Ain, a Superman-type Retrograde Fruit user... These are the three gifts given to us by General Porusalino. The name of a person.”
Sugar said with a smile while turning off the data recording function of the monocle worn on the left eye by touching it.
"General Porusalino...ah!!"
Watching Granu's movements, Luffy got up from the bed and suddenly found that the pair of sunglasses given to him by Porusalino that he usually hung around his neck or wore were missing.
brush--
Luffy panicked and threw up the blanket, scrambling all over the floor. On the shelves, on the hooks on the wall, on the floor, under the bed, they were like headless flies, as if they were trying to turn this small house upside down.
"Glasses, glasses!"
"It's so noisy, Luffy!"
Suddenly someone said dissatisfiedly.
Luffy looked towards the kitchen across the wall and suddenly smiled - sitting at the kitchen table was Zoro who was lost in the sea, and sitting next to him was a strange old man.
"What! So Zoro is here too!"
Luffy was not surprised at all that his chosen partner, Zoro, was still alive.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'what'! You guy... It's all because of you, a landlubber, that I almost drowned! Next time, fend for yourself!"
"Ah, I don't have time to tell you that now! Glasses! My glasses!"
"for you."
Granu took out the pair of yellow sunglasses from somewhere and handed them to Luffy.
"Ah! My glasses!"
Luffy's eyes lit up.
"When I brought you here, I kept it for you and wiped away the water."
"So that's it, thank you!"
Luffy took the sunglasses and inspected them before putting them on immediately. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively showed the smile that Porosalino had specially trained him to do.
“Are these sunglasses so important?”
"I'm sure, this was given to me by General Porusalino!"
"No wonder they are exactly the same."
Luffy answered Sugar's question simply and sat down beside Zoro leisurely: "Zoron, have you found anything to eat? I'm hungry..."
After Luffy finished speaking, his stomach also made a "gurgling" sound. When he was on the drifting boat, he was already so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Not only had a lot of time passed, but he also drank a lot of seawater and then vomited it out, making his hunger even stronger. .
"Just take this, young man."
The old man beside Zoro stood up and placed a porcelain plate with soup in front of Luffy.
"Long live! There's something to eat!"
Facing the steaming soup, Luffy's eyes lit up. Although it was just a plate of soup made from chopped vegetables and whole grains, for Luffy, who just wanted to take a bite of a dragon-necked dragon, anything he could eat was delicious.
"My captain has this kind of character. I'm so sorry, old man."
Zoro looked sideways at Luffy, who almost had his head buried in his plate, and said to the old man.
"It's okay. On this island, everyone has to help each other in order to live longer."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean? Is this island dangerous?"
Zoro frowned. Compared to Luffy, he only woke up a little earlier and only had time to communicate with Sugar about his identity.
But then his expression changed drastically and he reacted: "Oops, I wonder how Nami is doing now!"
When they were still on the drifting boat, Nami's condition was worse than theirs, and the huge neck dragon that could discharge electricity seemed to be...
"Well, Nami should still be alive, right?"
Luffy replied as he licked his plate.
"Huh? How do you know?"
"Because we are all alive!"
"Well, that's true..."
Luffy and Zoro asked and answered questions, but none of them were reliable. Granu watched them quietly from the corner of the room. Luffy's hand, and the three knives placed against the wall behind Zoro - Granu's eyes kept falling on these things.
"Both of you... your stomachs are full, right? How much of your fighting strength has been restored?"
"What? Are you going to kill someone soon?"
Zoro looked excited.
"I actually met two pirates just now..."
After asking for the old man's permission, Luffy bit into pieces of the porcelain plate and swallowed it while briefly telling Zoro what had just happened.
The sugar has been slightly supplemented in detail.
"...That's it."
Sauron's eyes flashed as he stood up and hung the three famous swords on his waist again.
"After those guys came to the island, they killed all the disobedient people... The remaining people were also treated as slaves by them and forced to do various jobs."
"Only old guys like me got away with it for the time being because they said they had other uses..."
The old man looked outside the house with desperate eyes, and Luffy and Zoro also looked out through the window.
"what is that?"
On the high ground slightly away from the port, Sauron saw a tower standing, probably tens of meters high, with strange patterns carved on its side.
"This is Piecro's core laboratory on this island, and it is also the goal of my mission."
At some point, Granu turned on the switch on his left eye monocle again, and used this scientific prop to observe the tower with a serious expression, "The time is coming soon, and you can just see its operation."
"Running?"
As if to explain what Sugar was saying, the strange patterns on the side of the tower began to glow with bright white light, and then the top slowly opened like petals.
Zoro and Luffy looked at each other.
boom!
Then there was a huge roar that shook the hut.
Then there was a sound that seemed to split the sky, and then a more violent impact instantly shook the entire island, almost lifting the entire island directly!
The things the old man put on the shelf rolled down to the floor one after another, without Sugar sitting on the chair, holding on to the wall beside him with both hands.
Finally, the shaking subsided and the house became a mess.
"In addition to being a laboratory, this tower is also a huge turret?!"
Zoro was stunned, looking at the top of the tower that was still smoking.
That's right, the top of the tower just aimed at the opposite side of the island and fired a cannonball. It was the same huge cannonball that sank Luffy and his drifting boat in the sea.
"This is no ordinary turret,"
Sugar shook his head, "It used the blueprint of the secret weapon prepared by the great pirate of the year, 'World Destroyer' Bundy Waldo. However, after Bundy Waldo was arrested, the blueprint was changed according to the The archive records of the original mission should have been confiscated by agents of the World Government. Later, because Navy scientists discovered that its actual combat value was not proportional to the construction cost, it was sealed again."
"But the current fact is that the technology recorded in this blueprint that was supposed to be sealed was obtained by the pirates who occupied this island? And it was built in secret..."
The corners of Zoro's mouth raised slightly, "I see, it seems like there's a ghost inside you!"
"That's why I lurked here alone, and even though I had found out the coordinates and general situation here, I didn't call the fleet immediately,"
Sugar had a weird expression, "Honestly, I actually had other plans for what to do next, but it was limited by my ability and the equipment I carried, so it was somewhat reluctant. Now that you are here. You should be able to help me, right?”
"Of course!!"
Luffy, a single-celled creature who was a little overweight after listening to Sugar's explanation just now, finally found his familiar rhythm and suddenly clapped his fists, "The bastard here blew our ship to pieces, I'm sure Knock them all away!!”
…
"Franky, what are you..."
Sanji's slightly nervous voice echoed from the rock wall.
This is a cave where no light from the outside can penetrate, and because there are no lights inside, it is very dark. Several branch roads extend from the main cave road connecting the entrance to both sides. Deep in the cave is an open space the size of a small room. The entrance to the open space is separated by an iron fence - this is a prison cell, using the original natural cave for imprisonment. Prisoner.
The water drops were dripping down, and there was a faint smell of sea in the air. From this, we could tell that we were very close to the sea. As a result, iron fences become rusty due to moisture corrosion.
"Watch carefully, Sanji, this is my super secret weapon!"
The sound of mechanical operation rang out, accompanied by the sound of clanging chains.
"Hey! I don't want to see it! For a gentleman, you will go blind after seeing this kind of thing!"
"Then can't you just close your eyes?"
".Okay, I'm mildly interested."
——Before Nami, Luffy and Zoro arrived on the island, Sanji and Franky, who were separated from the three of them, had already fallen into the trap and became prisoners here. Although their strength is good, just like they were able to obtain the top-secret blueprints for the "Momo Cannon", Jigula and Piecro also obtained the thick seastone shackles and chains used by the Navy to restrain extremely evil criminals. Therefore, after being firmly nailed into the rock wall, even Sanji and Franky could not escape by relying solely on ordinary strength.
But after all, Franky is a perverted reformer far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even if his limbs and neck are firmly fixed, and ordinary humans like Sanji are completely unable to move, he still has parts that can move.
So, after several days of deliberation, a certain area that should normally be filled with blood for men was finally filled with cola and engine oil.
Buzz——
Then it spun at high speed, breaking through the confinement of the metal underwear that Frankie usually wore inside and outside.
"This is my last Coke!"
"Move towards freedom! Cut off the chains that imprison us! Super Smash Drill!"
ps: The cannon of the Momo Fruit user appeared in the special episode, including Luffy and the Empress' Candy. The cannonball was finally chopped by Hawkeye.
