I, the dragon man!

Chapter 174 Seagull's Lifelong Enemy

Gently probing his hand, Gao Wen pressed his palm on the dachshund's head.

"Wow woof~~~."

Dachshunds bark like normal puppies.

This feel, this voice, it really is an ordinary dog...

But what the hell is going on with that hundreds-of-meter-long belly?

This kind of dog... can it really survive?
But it happens to be alive and well!
So Gawain gently picked up the puppy's head and front paws, and he pulled the puppy into his arms, while the puppy's stomach flowed down his legs to the distance.

Picking up a piece of meat and feeding it into the dog's mouth, Gao Wen whispered to everyone.

"Such an animal with limited mobility can live so comfortably, it seems that this island is really peaceful.

Notify the Black Ice Platform, reduce the guard force, and devote the number of people to the exploration of a total of ten nearby islands.

Didn't Lu Qi's pigeons have already been sent out, and when they bring back information, we will start to decide the location of the final weather observation station! "

"As ordered!"

Lu Qi nodded, and then returned to the Black Bird to make arrangements. After Gawain and his party had a barbecue on the prairie, he continued his exercise while Hancock took Bai Xing and Uta out to play.

Until after eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Qi's pigeons flew back one after another, and it was at this time that Lu Qi reported the news of the population to Gao Wen.

According to Lu Qi, his pigeons discovered that there is a nomadic people living in tents on the west side of the landing island, separated by an island.

Therefore, that night, Gao Wen and his party re-boarded the Black Bird, and sailed towards the inhabited island according to the guidance of the pigeons.

Around eleven o'clock, Gawain arrived at the inhabited island. At the same time, all the people on the island gathered together in horror, looking at the incomparably huge Black Bird on the sea.

Facing people's terrified eyes, Gao Wen led a group of people to land again, and then walked directly towards them.

Seeing Gao Wen's group approaching, the nomads reacted quickly. They first gathered women and children in tents, while the men held all kinds of swords and spears and raised their weapons towards Gao Wen.

Among these hundreds of men, there were about a dozen others with muskets.

Facing the panic of the nomads, Gao Wen waved his hands to the crowd.

"I'm Gao Wen, a traveler who traveled here from the capital of seven waters. We have no malicious intentions."

After Gao Wen's voice fell, the herdsmen in the distance exchanged for a while, and then a burly man in his forties walked out of them.

"Are you pirates?"

The first sentence the big man came up was asking Gao Wen if he was a pirate, so Gao Wen waved his hand with a smile.

"Look at the flag on our ship, can't you see it? There are no skeletons on our flag!"

After this sentence fell, the nomads on the opposite side gathered together to study for a while.

Then, the strong man said to Gao Wen again.

"Then you are the navy!"

"No, we don't like to wear white clothes!"

"call……."

At this moment, the nomads were really relieved, they put down their weapons, and then the men hung their swords in their scabbards and surrounded Gao Wen and his party.

When they walked more than 100 meters and saw that there were actually two children, one big and one small, in Gao Wen's team, they immediately felt more at ease.

"Haha, you are travelers on this sea, right?
How lucky, we were able to meet a group of legendary travelers in our lifetime, haha! "

Amidst the loud laughter, the strong man headed by the herdsmen opened his arms and hugged Gao Wen directly.

Seeing this scene, Rob Lucci's face tightened, because the hem of the herdsman's clothes even had some horse manure stuck to it.

But Gao Wen didn't mind, he and the shepherd gently embraced, and then let go of each other.

This time, the herdsmen were completely relieved. They didn't even hold weapons, but directly invited Gao Wen and his party.

The leading herdsmen said to Gao Wen.

"Hi, traveler, I'm Sivens, the patriarch of our Changhuan Mountain herdsmen.

Come, come with us!
Just in time for the end of the Changhuan Mountain ebb tide, we just caught a lot of marine fish stranded on Changhuan Mountain.

And our cheese and moa! "

After the words fell, the patriarch shouted to the women and children who were gradually walking out of the tent in the distance.

"Family, haha, here are the guests, they are a group of very spirited travelers!

Let's have a big dinner party! "

While speaking, the patriarch led Gao Wen directly to the tribe.

While walking, Lei Li observed the people around him, and said to Gawain.

"The population is not large, only about [-], but when the old man passed by here, he didn't know that there were really nomads here."

Raleigh looked at Patriarch Sivens and asked.

"Patriarch Sivens, have you always lived on this island?
When the old man passed by here, he also visited this island, but at that time, the old man only saw animals he didn't know, but he didn't see your existence! "

Hearing what Rayleigh said, Patriarch Sivens laughed outright.

"Haha, old man, when you passed by here, it must have been a long time ago, right?"

"Yeah, almost 20 years," Reilly replied.

"That's right!"

Patriarch Sivens nodded.

"Our tribe has always been wandering and grazing among the ten peaks of Changhuan Mountain.

Every three years, we will take advantage of the annual ebb tide to climb over the Changhuan Mountains exposed by the ebb tide and go to the tops of other Changhuan Mountains. "

"and many more……!"

Shiliu on the side frowned and interrupted Sivens.

"Isn't this Changhuan Island? Why do you call it Changhuan Mountain!"

"Uh……."

Patriarch Sivens was taken aback by Shiliu, he rubbed his forehead in panic, and said.

"This guest looks really vicious, but he doesn't look like a bad guy, and he raised very interesting questions.

For you travelers, this is Long Circle Island.

But for those of us who have been nomadic, only the combination of ten Changhuan Mountains is Changhuan Island!

Normally, seawater would completely submerge the bottom of Changhuan Mountain, leaving only the tops of ten peaks exposed.

This is the Changhuan Island in your eyes.

After the annual low tide occurs, the sea water near our Changhuan Island will drop by more than 2000 meters at once!

At that time, Changhuan Island will be exposed!

The ten long ring mountains are connected together by the foundation of the island, forming a huge circle, and that circular island is the real long ring island! "

While speaking, the patriarch led everyone to the middle of the tribe.

In the clearing surrounded by many tents, new campfires are being erected.

The children of the tribe soon got to play with Bai Xing, and it wasn't until this time that Bai Xing knew the names of those strange animals.

The dachshund with a length of hundreds of meters is called a sausage dog.

That feline with a long horizontal face is called a hunter~~~~~leopard.

In addition, there are other animals on this island, such as extremely slender bears with a height of tens of meters.

His name is Big ~~~ Bear.

As for the kind that the herdsmen raise and ride...the horses are the same size as ordinary horses, but their necks and legs are twice as long as normal horses.

His name is...

Mo~~~~ Ah? ! !

After figuring out these names, even Gao Wen couldn't control his heart of complaining.

How the hell did Oda come up with this group of animals full of slots!

Not only is the body stretched, but even the name... is just stretched!
So while chatting with the nomadic people, Gao Wen showed an incomparably sincere smile while drinking moa milk wine.

Could he be insincere in his smile, he almost died laughing, okay?
After drinking and drinking, Gao Wen and his party set up a temporary tent on the grassland, and then took a good night's sleep.

After early morning, when Gawain stepped out of the tent, he heard Kalifa greet him.

"My lord, we checked with the pigeons last night. In addition to these nomads near Changhuan Island, there are also many pirate groups wandering around Gaya Island and Magic Valley Town, preparing to head to the New World.

The two more famous ones are Ambro the Golden Snake and Foxy the Silver Fox. "

Speaking of this, Khalifa handed over the reward orders for those two people to Gao Wen.

After Gao Wen picked up the reward order to watch, Kalifa continued.

"These two pirate groups hover between Gaya Island and Changhuan Island, and continue to grow themselves by constantly hunting the pirate ships that have been attacked by the G2 branch.

Two years ago, only the golden snake Ambro stayed here, and then came the silver fox Foxy.

After countless battles, the two of them are always the strongest pirate group in the nearby seas. "

Having said that, Kalifa pushed his glasses in some puzzlement.

"However, my lord, the gold snake Ambro's bounty is 400 million Baileys, such a bounty, as long as it does not encounter a special supernova, it may indeed become a thing.

But the silver fox Foxy, who obviously only has a bounty of 400 million Baileys, can become the king of the sea around here...?
Therefore, I suspect that the silver fox Foxy may have eaten some devil fruit in recent years, but this news has not been discovered by the Navy yet! "

"makes sense."

Gawain put down the reward order and nodded to Kalifa.

"The reward of 400 million is too low in the great route, even in the four seas except the East China Sea, the price of this kind of reward is not a big amount.

It is estimated that this guy should have eaten the devil fruit after entering the great route. "

After finishing speaking, Gao Wen waved his hand lightly.

"Hiliu!"

"I'm here, my lord!"

Shiliu immediately got out of the tent and looked at Gawain with great interest.

As for Gao Wen, he handed the reward order in his hand to Xiliu, and said.

"Take the permanent pointer of Changhuan Island, and then follow Lu Qi's pigeon to track down these two pirate groups.

Since the station and observation station are going to be built on Changhuan Island, there is no need for any pirates to exist around here! "

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiliu accepted the reward order with great excitement, and he can kill again, haha!

Just as he accepted the reward order, Gao Wen thought about it and said to him.

"This trip, you have to pay attention to one thing, if you encounter a devil fruit user, then don't kill him, bring him back alive!
Of course, except for devil fruit ability users, you can handle the others as you like. "

At this point, Gawain patted Shiliu's arm lightly.

"have fun."

"Jiehehehe, don't worry, my lord!"

Shiryu gave a cruel smile, and then left in a blink of an eye.

After Shiliu left, Gao Wen thoughtfully said to the people around him.

"If this trip, Shiliu can really bring back a devil fruit capable user....

Lu Qi, when the time comes, you escort the devil fruit capable user to meet that Vegapunk and make my request to him.

I want to try to see if the legendary Vegapunk has the power to take out a devil fruit! "

"As ordered!"

Lu Qi nodded immediately.

After finishing his business, Gao Wen had breakfast and continued his training.

Among the crowd, Uta and Franky got busy.

Uta took his own people, that is, Gordon and the others, to set up a temporary stage on the grassland.

Everyone will live in Changhuan Island for two weeks, and wait for Franky to come up with the first observation plan before leaving.

So, of course Uta will bring happy music to the herdsmen on Changhuan Island.

As for Franky, there is no doubt that he will build a hydrological observation station here.

At the same time, Mr. Rayleigh and Yixiao also held teacups and chatted with Sivens, the leader of the nomads.

"Even if you have been living on Changhuan Island, you shouldn't be unable to receive newspapers.

Haven't you read the latest newspaper?
You don't even know what a Celestial Dragon is, and you don't even recognize me. "

This is Raleigh's problem.

Hearing the old man's question, Sivens shook his head in confusion.

"Occasionally, we encountered seagulls that landed, and through a few seagulls, we got the newspaper you mentioned.

But later, the seagull never appeared again, and I don't know why! "

"Hey?"

Hearing Sivens' words, Raleigh was greatly surprised.

"It shouldn't be, since there are seagulls coming, then they shouldn't stop the flow."

While talking, Rayleigh frowned and asked.

"Sivens, after you got the newspaper from Seagull, you didn't give me the money, did you?"

"Money? What money?" Sivens was even more confused.

"Don't you even know Bailey, Bailey?" Raleigh was even more surprised.

Facing Raleigh's question, Sivens shook his head.

"How is that possible, Bailey, of course we know, my grandfather met a caravan when he was young, they took away a lot of our moah milk, and left us some of the Bailey you mentioned."

"If that's the case, didn't you hand over Bailey to the seagull after you took the newspaper?" Raleigh asked.

"Hey?"

This time, Sivens turned pale with shock.

"So we actually have to pay that seagull?
So it's not just a seabird with newspapers growing on its body, but a businessman who sells newspapers? "

"Yea, haha!!!"

Riley burst out laughing on the spot.

While laughing, Raleigh offered a jug of wine to Sivens.

"No wonder there are no seagulls to deliver newspapers to you, so you have become robbers in their eyes, haha!
But it's okay, later, when you meet the seagulls in the sky, call them twice, and then take Bailey out to show them.

In that case, as long as a seagull selling newspapers passes by in the future, it will land on your side! "

But after hearing Raleigh's persuasion, Sivens not only did not feel relieved, but even more sad.

Sivens shook his head dully.

"No, if those seagulls are really merchants, then I'm afraid they really won't talk to us anymore....

After all, after all, we didn't just do things that weren't given to Bailey.... "

After finishing speaking, Sivens smashed his head sadly.

"It's all my fault, I really never thought that even seabirds could become businessmen.

Over 20 years ago, when I was young, I saw that kind of seagull landed on our tribe.

Because they are relatively rare, with bags and written paper on their bodies...

So I took my brothers to grab it and stew it!
In other words, their taste is actually very fragrant, completely different from the animals on Changhuan Island.

Next, every time a new seagull lands, we... we stew them all.... "

After finishing speaking, Patriarch Sivens knelt on the ground angrily.

"Anyway, I remember eating like a dozen of those gulls.

Afterwards, that kind of seagull never appeared again... "
