"Fixed!"

Luffy held up his straw hat and cheered.

"It's just to sew up the hole. Don't poke too hard and you'll be fine."

Nami put away her needle and thread and said.

"That's great, thanks! Poke poke..."

Speaking of which, Luffy couldn't help trying to poke the hat with his finger.

"what!"

Then the hat was punctured again.

"Are you stupid!"

Nami took the needle and pierced Luffy's forehead.

"Yeah! Don't prick me with a needle, it hurts like hell..."

"I can't hurt you, I have to stab you!"

"That's right."

Luffy nodded, feeling that Nami was right.

"Stop making noise and keep people from sleeping?!" Sauron shouted angrily.

"Zoro, you are awake. In addition to eating and sleeping these few days."

Ward looked at Sauron and said.

"Then what should I do? I don't even have room to practice on this small boat. And I'm hungry..."

Sauron spread his hands and said.

"Hey, Nami, give me something to eat." Zoro called out to Nami.

"You guys are so stupid, you don't know how to bring water and food when you go out to sea!! You underestimate the sea!!" Nami said.

"Isn't this a rush!" Ward responded.

"Here! There are only a few apples left. From now on, each person can only eat one apple a day."

Nami took out two apples and threw them to Ward and Zoro respectively.

"Me too!" Luffy said, walking over and holding out his hand.

"Give!"

"Is there any meat?"

"No, idiot!"

Then Nami also took an apple and ate it.

"An apple a day, we will starve to death sooner or later!" Ward said with a somewhat depressed expression.

"Don't worry, my sailing skills are definitely fine. I can reach the next island in a day or two. We'd better change to a decent ship on that island."

"Well, I seem to have seen it!"

While Nami was talking, Luffy used the binoculars to see the island looming in front of him.

"Let's go!"

Luffy paddles towards the island.

"Hey, wait! That's an uninhabited island!" Nami shouted.

But Luffy doesn't listen to this, even if it's an uninhabited desert island, he still wants to have a good adventure.

……

Soon the four of them came to this uninhabited desert island.

"Here we are, but there are only forests on this island, nothing else!!"

Luffy stood on the land of the island and said with a smile.

Nami said helplessly: "I've said it all, this island is a deserted island, how can you find a partner in this kind of place."

"It's okay to find some fruit! Even if it's only a day or two away, I really can't bear to eat only one apple a day."

Ward touched his stomach and said.

"That's right. All right, I'll go find some fruit with you." Nami nodded and said.

"Hey, Zoro! Come down!" Luffy shouted towards the ship.

"Hu~! Hu~!"

"Ah, fell asleep, I'm going to wake him up!"

Luffy was going to wake Zoro up, but was stopped by Nami.

"Let him sleep, no matter what, he is still a wounded person."

Then Ward, Luffy and Nami headed towards the forest.

"Oh oh oh-"

As soon as I entered the forest, I saw a dog with a chicken head.

"Ok?"

"Eh--"

"What is this?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then continued to move forward into the depths of the forest.

The deeper they went into the forest, more and more strange creatures appeared before their eyes.

A snake with horns, a pig with a beard, a lion with a pig's nose...

"This forest is so weird! These creatures are so weird!"

Nami held her head and shouted in confusion.

"Hahaha, really interesting." Luffy laughed.

"Oh, look, there is a cat with rabbit ears here!"

Ward grabbed a cat with bunny ears and said.

"What is it all about!" Nami didn't know how to complain.

Suddenly the three heard a strange sound.

"Don't go any further!!"

"what sound?"

"Ah? Me? I am the guardian of this forest!!"

"The guardian of the forest?"

"Yes! Get out of here quickly if you want to survive!!
"Aren't you pirates?"

"Yes."

"Listen, if you take one step forward... the punishment of the forest will come!!"

"Who are you! I don't believe it!"

"Then you accept the punishment of the forest!"

As soon as the words fell, a bullet flew towards Luffy's body.

But Luffy bounced the bullet back again.

Immediately Luffy turned around, stretched his arms, and pulled a box out from the grass.

"There's an afro on the box?" Ward said, looking at the afro on the box.

"What a disrespect! I'm born with curly hair, not an afro!"

The box turned around and shouted angrily.

"Ah! It's actually a box man!" Luffy shouted in surprise.

"Ah, by now, I'm not surprised that anything strange will appear in this forest."

Nami said while covering her head.

Then Uncle Box explained what was going on with him.

It turns out that Uncle Box used to be a pirate, because he found several treasure boxes on the top of a mountain in the forest, so he wanted to climb up the mountain to get the treasure boxes.

But his partner seemed to forget him because of this, and sailed away directly.

But Uncle Box got anxious, fell off the cliff and fell into the box on his body.

20 years have passed since then.

After that, Luffy tried to pull out the box uncle, but failed, as if the box uncle had grown together with the box.

"The three of you are pirates? Do you also want to find treasure? Do you have a treasure map?"

Uncle Box asked.

"I have the sea chart of the great waterway, I want to get one piece!" Luffy said, taking out the sea chart of the great waterway.

"What?! One piece!! You don't really know how to go to the great channel, do you? Let me see, which one is the great channel?"

Uncle Box came to Luffy's side, looked at the chart and asked.

"Here, the great waterway is here, this framed place, isn't it written the great waterway!"

Ward pointed to the great channel on the chart.

"Haha, so that's the case, I can't read the map at all!"

"Haha, me too!"

Uncle Box and Luffy laughed.

"Are you really pirates? Forget it, Ward, where's the chart, and I'll explain it to them."

Nami said speechlessly.

Ward then handed the chart to Nami.

"Both of you, you must know about the Red Earth Continent!"

"Hmm! Is it the land that separates the sea?"

"Yes! There are two oceans in this world! The continent that separates the two oceans is called the Red Earth Continent!

"Departing from its central town, the route that circles the world vertically towards the Red Earth Continent is the Great Channel!
"So far, only One Piece King Gordo Roger can conquer this route! It is known as the most dangerous route in the world."

"And one piece is on this route, that is, it has circled the world for a week!" Ward said after Nami.

"Oh, can I get one piece as long as I travel around the world for a week?!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

Ward shook his head and responded, "It's just that one piece is on this route, and we still need to find it, but if we really want to go to every island in the great channel, we will definitely be able to find it."

"Don't be silly! It's not that simple! It's just that the route was taken by the Pirate Cemetery! I've seen the pirates brought back from the great route. They are as distraught as a dead person. It was horrible, it must have been fatally threatened, I don't know if they encountered a terrible pirate or some kind of monster... They didn't say a word about it, and they looked so desolate that they could completely imagine that they were on the great channel terrible encounter.

"Understood? It is impossible to get one piece!!"

Uncle Box described the Great Channel as very scary and terrifying.

But Luffy didn't care, and even said with some expectation: "Really? There will be a way!"

"You can get as much as you can, and run away when you get it. This is the choice you know!"

And Nami doesn't care, she just wants to send Luffy and the others to the Great Channel, and then steal the money and run away.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, you will know what the great channel looks like when you arrive, isn't it!"

Ward said, spreading his hands.

Uncle Box looked at the three of them and was stunned. Once upon a time, he was also a young man full of passion, but now he has become an uncle.

So Uncle Box felt that he would secretly tell the three young pirates about himself.

"Do you know why I don't leave this isolated island?"

"Ok?"

Afterwards, Uncle Box told Ward, Luffy and Nami that he had been unwilling to do so. He wanted to get the treasure on that mountain!However, he and this small box became one, and he lost even the ability to climb mountains.The uncle hopes that Luffy can take the treasure from the mountain.

Ever since, the three of them followed Uncle Box to the front of the hill.

Luffy stretched out his arms and 'flyed' up.

"Found the treasure box!! There are five in total!!" Luffy shouted while hugging the box.

"Good job! Throw them down!! Don't hit me! Hahaha!!"

At this time, the uncle was very excited, and the knot in his heart of 20 years was finally about to be untied.

"No!"

Luffy shouted decisively.

"what?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Throw the box down!" Nami shouted angrily.

Ward patted Nami on the shoulder and shook his head, "Forget it, I guess..."

"Ah! That's right, I should have known..." Uncle Box also walked to Nami's side and said.

"Why..." Nami looked at Uncle Box in puzzlement.

"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago, maybe... those treasure chests... I just... try to avoid thinking about it." As he spoke, the uncle burst into tears,

"It's empty, inside..."

"Hey!" Nami's eyes lost nobility.

On the one hand, it is heartache because of the loss of treasure, and on the other hand, it is also heartache for Uncle Box.

"Hahaha!!! Uncle, don't be too hard on yourself, haven't you waited for us these 20 years?!
"After you've been waiting here for so long, it's time to find one piece? Let's be pirates again!!"

Uncle Box was stunned for a moment, looked at Luffy and said, "Are you inviting me? I'm glad you invited me, but forget it. Although the treasure is gone, I will continue to be the forest guard. "

"why?"

"There are many rare animals living in this forest. More people come to this island for rare animals than pirates! I have lived for 20 years, and I have fallen in love with those animals. I can't abandon them! Giving these fruits to you is my thank you."

"How can this work, the treasure chest is just empty!"

"No, you guys helped me untie the 20 years knot in my heart. Although the treasure chest is empty, my heart feels more relaxed. Haha!
"You guys will definitely find a good partner!! You will definitely get one piece! Then buy the whole world!"

Uncle Box blessed the three of them.

"Oh, I will! Good-bye, uncle!"

Farewell to Uncle Box.The boat is heading for the great course again!

　ps: This kind of small adventure story is quite interesting. In the later stage, One Piece rarely has this kind of adventure plot.
