Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 110 The Dragon-Slaying Brothers

Whiskey Peak, despite its name, is actually an island made up of several giant cactus balls.

This island is one of the seven starting islands on the Grand Route and represents one of the seven routes of the Great Route. Anyone who wants to take this route must stay on this island for enough time. Let the pointer record the magnetic force of this island to point to the direction of the next island.

The recorded time is actually different for each island. According to the chart obtained by Lin Bei, the recorded time of this Whiskey Island is about six hours.

Therefore, although this island does not have anything Lin Bei needs, Lin Bei and the others must stay on this island for at least six hours.

As Lin Bei and the others' ship gradually approached the island, Lin Bei and the others slowly saw the entire island clearly.

Although Lin Bei had already known about this island and knew that the island was actually made up of huge cactus balls, Lin Bei couldn't help but be amazed when he actually saw it.

The huge cactus, each one hundreds of meters high, makes people unable to help but admire the wonder of the Creator just by looking at them.

"Lin Bei, there is a river right in front of us. It seems that we can directly enter the interior of the island. I wonder what will be on the island?"

Although she has the dream of becoming the world's best navigator, this is the first time Nami has set foot on the Grand Line, so after seeing this island, Nami couldn't help but speak nervously.

After hearing this, Sauron was a little indifferent and sat on the deck of the boat holding his three knives and said lazily:

"It's not strange to see anything on the island, right? This is the Grand Line. There might even be monsters."

Nami and Zoro were both stunned by this sudden turn of events. They looked at all this with confused expressions, looking puzzled.

Nami was even more surprised after hearing Lin Bei's words. She looked at Lin Bei with her mouth slightly opened and asked:

Soon, as the ship continued to move forward, the fog on the river gradually dissipated as if it had encountered some obstacle, and Lin Bei and the others were able to see clearly the specific conditions on both sides of the river.

Nami felt a little strange about Lin Bei's words, but before she could ask any more questions, some changes had already appeared around her.

Not only were the warm cheers gone, but there were also expressions of disgust on everyone's faces, and then they left the shore one after another and went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Nami asked with some confusion:

"Eighty to ninety percent are bounty hunters? How come there are so many bounty hunters gathered here?"

Lin Bei looked at the tall, curly-haired middle-aged man who was still standing there, squinted his eyes and said:

"It's normal for them to hate us. There is a saying that friends who work together are enemies."

"What's so surprising about this? Although this town is called the City of Welcome, they only welcome pirates, not us."

Lin Bei, who had known the detailed information about this island for a long time, smiled and said:

"Oh, I heard that this island welcomes pirates, but who knows the actual situation~"

Perhaps because of the influence of those giant cacti, the river in the middle of the island was filled with fog. As a result, Lin Bei and the others could only vaguely see both sides of the river, but could not see the specific situation clearly.

If someone with a little courage saw it, they might be shocked.

Almost instantly, the river bank that was full of people just now became empty, leaving only a tall middle-aged man with exaggerated curly hair standing there and continuing to wait for Lin Bei and the others, still holding a A saxophone.

But fortunately, both Lin Bei Zoro and Nami are bold guys. Not only were they not afraid when they saw this, but they were full of interest.

"Ah? There is a place that only welcomes pirates? But even if they only welcome pirates, they don't have to dislike us, right? I saw that a few people just seemed to hate us."

But at some point, the originally empty banks of the river were filled with looming figures, and various singing voices could be faintly heard.

Lin Bei laughed and said:

I saw many unique houses on both sides of the river. In addition, there were many people who looked like small town residents standing on the bank, giving warm cheers to Lin Bei and the others. , seemed to be welcoming Lin Bei and the others.

Nami was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but soon she was smart enough to realize what Lin Bei meant. Then she also looked at the curly-haired middle-aged man and said in surprise:

"You mean those people just now are bounty hunters like us?"

After a while, Nami seemed to notice that Lin Bei's expression had not changed at all, and then she asked:

"Um, Lin Bei, what is going on in this town? Also, why don't you look surprised at all?"

Lin Bei nodded and said:

"Well, that's right. Eighty or ninety percent of the people on this island are bounty hunters. They welcome pirates here because pirates are their prey, but there is no pirate flag on our ship. , of course they won’t treat us well.”

However, after Lin Bei and his ship completely sailed out of the fog, the small town residents suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the appearance of Lin Bei and his ship.

Lin Bei explained with a smile:

"Because this is one of the seven starting islands of the Grand Route! Almost one-seventh of the pirates who enter the Grand Route from all over the world will pass through here.

They are all rookies who have just stepped into the Grand Line from all over the world. They have average strength and have not experienced the baptism of the Grand Line. They are the easiest to deal with. As long as they wait here and wait, they can easily be exchanged for bounties. Why not? Woolen cloth? "

After hearing this, Nami thought for a moment and understood what Lin Bei meant. Indeed, according to Lin Bei, such an initial island is indeed the best place for bounty hunters to start.

Just like Rogge Town in the East China Sea, that place is the last stop before the East China Sea enters the Upside Down Mountain. There are also many bounty hunter activities. The Navy even specially assigned a person with natural devil fruit abilities to guard there.

Nami even said directly by drawing inferences:

"So, the other initial islands are just like here, with many bounty hunters gathering?"

Lin Bei glanced at Nami approvingly and said:

"Smart, that's right."

Nami showed a thoughtful expression when she heard this, and after satisfying her curiosity, she said no more.

At this time, Lin Bei's boat finally docked. When Lin Bei and the three of them got off the boat, the curly-haired middle-aged man who had just been waiting on the shore walked over quickly, holding his hand in one hand. The huge saxophone asked with a smile on his face:

"Oh haha, welcome three guests. I am the mayor of this whiskey mountain town, Ikarem." As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Lin Bei also extended his hand to shake Ikarem politely. road:

"Hello, I am Lin Bei, this is my junior brother Zoro, and my partner Nami."

Hearing Lin Bei's self-introduction, Ikarem showed a true expression on his face, but it only passed for a moment. He soon returned to his smile, nodded and said:

"It turns out to be Lin Bei and Sir Sauron. I didn't expect you to come to the Grand Line. Welcome."

After hearing Ikarem's words, it was Lin Bei's turn to be curious this time. He raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Oh, that means, Sir Ikarem has heard of us?"

Icarim nodded and said:

"Of course, both of them are quite famous bounty hunters in the East China Sea. I heard that they defeated Aaron, the pirate with the highest bounty in the East China Sea some time ago. That was a big pirate with a bounty of 30 million beli. Even in the Grand Line In the first half, he is no longer a minor character, and we have naturally heard their names.

It is said that after defeating Aaron, you will be called "Dragon-Slaying Brothers" by the pirates in the East China Sea. You are very famous among the pirates in the East China Sea. "

Ikarem had indeed heard of Lin Bei's name, and not long ago, about three days ago.

The person who told Ikarem the news about Lin Bei and the others was the octopus fish-man, Xiao Ba, who had managed to escape from Lin Bei's men earlier.

Previously, when Lin Bei helped Nami eradicate the Dragon Pirates, some fishmen escaped by jumping into the sea after killing Aaron. Lin Bei originally wanted to catch up and eradicate them, but was stopped by Nami. .

According to Nami, except for Aaron, the other murlocs who persecuted her family were basically killed by Lin Bei. Although the murlocs who escaped were also members of the Dragon Pirates, they did not do anything bad. , so no need to chase anymore.

Lin Bei didn't know what Nami was thinking. According to his idea, cutting the grass would naturally involve eradicating the roots. But since Nami herself said it, he didn't waste any more energy.

However, it was precisely because of the publicity of the escaped fish people that Lin Bei's defeat of Aaron quickly spread in the East China Sea.

Even because that octopus man Hachi returned to the Grand Line and prepared to join Jinbei, one of his old friends in the Shichibukai, Lin Bei's name would soon spread to Jinbei's ears.

The nickname "Dragon-Slaying Brothers" was exactly the nickname given to Lin Bei and the others by the pirates in the East China Sea after they found out about this incident.

Hearing the nickname "Dragon-Slaying Brothers" from Ikarim's mouth, Lin Bei couldn't help but his face turned dark, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. He dug his toes out of the three rooms and one living room in embarrassment and felt in his heart Curse secretly:

"Damn it, who the hell is this idiot who gave me such a stupid nickname! Don't let me meet you, or I'll let you know how Brother Zhanlong killed his mother!"

After a while, Lin Bei showed an awkward but polite smile and said:

"Haha, these are all false names. Mr. Ikarem can just call us by our names."

Ikarem didn't know what Lin Bei was thinking, but he didn't mention the name that made Lin Bei feel ashamed again. Instead, he turned to say:

"Okay Mr. Lin Bei, but since we can meet Mr. Lin Bei here, it means that we are destined. I have an invitation here. I wonder if Mr. Lin Bei is interested?"

Lin Bei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he asked with interest:

"Oh, I wonder what the invitation is?"

Ikarem still maintained a smile and said:

"Mr. Lin Bei may not know that most people on this island are bounty hunters like you, but what makes us different from ordinary bounty hunters is that we are organized.

We are all members of the Baroque Studio owned by Crocodile-sama, one of the King's Shichibukai!

Oh, yes, Mr. Lin Bei has just stepped into the Grand Line. Maybe he still doesn’t know what Wang Xia Qibuhai does, right? "

Lin Bei didn't say anything when he heard this. Of course he knew what the Seven Warlords were, but Zoro and Nami naturally didn't know. It would be better to let Ikarem explain.

Seeing that Lin Bei didn't speak, Ikarem naturally acquiesced that Lin Bei and the others didn't know about the Shichibukai, so he explained the existence of the Shichibukai in detail under Nami's curious eyes, and then Then he opened his mouth to invite:

".These are the Shichibukai, the seven legal great pirates recognized by the World Government!

Lord Crocodile is one of them.

The invitation I mentioned earlier is exactly to invite Mr. Lin Bei to join Mr. Crocodile's Baroque Studio and serve him together! "

Although he had already guessed that Ikarem's so-called invitation was to invite them to join Baroque Studio, when he actually heard Ikarem say it, Lin Bei still looked at him in surprise.

Others didn't know the identity of Ikarem, but Lin Bei knew it.

The identity of this Ikarem is actually not simple. The opponent is not an ordinary pirate hunter, but the captain of the royal guard of the Kingdom of Alabasta on the great waterway Shengting Island in the original plot. He is to protect Princess Vivi and After exploring the secrets of Baroque Works, he and Princess Weiwei sneaked into Baroque Works and became undercover.

Precisely because he knew the identity of the other party, Lin Bei was surprised. As an undercover agent who had infiltrated the enemy, he was actually helping Baroque Studio recruit people?

Lin Bei intuitively felt that something was wrong here.

But Lin Bei did not expose these, he just shook his head and said:

"Krokdal? Forget it. My ideal is to become an adventurer who travels the world. Bounty hunting is just a part-time job that I use to make money. There is no need to join a studio or anything like that.

And there is no one in this world who is worthy of me to be his subordinate, let alone Crocodile. "

When Ikarem heard Lin Bei's words of rejection, not only was he not angry at all, but after hearing the contempt for Crocodile in Lin Bei's words, the smile on his face grew even more.

Lin Bei's guess was actually correct. As an undercover agent lurking into the Baroque Studio, it was of course impossible for Ikarem to actually help Crocodile recruit people. The way he just invited Lin Bei to join the studio was just an act of Ikarem. It's just a trial.

Ikarem's real purpose is actually to know Lin Bei's attitude towards Crocodile, so as to judge whether Lin Bei can be invited to help them eradicate Crocodile!
