Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 295: Saving the Treasure Hunt and... Getting Lost (asking for monthly tickets~)

Dark, damp, and filled with the atmosphere of fear and despair.

This is standard equipment in almost every slave cell.

In Marijoa, almost every castle of the Celestial Dragons has a slave cell specifically used to imprison slaves.

It’s just that some of them were built deep underground, some were directly placed in a room of the castle, or some were placed in different cells according to the type of slaves held.

But no matter where the slave cells were built, it made no difference to the slaves held there.

Because after coming here, their lives are equivalent to coming to an end.

The reason they are still alive is simply because they don't have the courage to face death.

On this day, the slaves who had been toyed with by the celestial dragons until they were exhausted finally had the most relaxing moment of the day.

The rest time for the Celestial Dragons is also their only chance to catch their breath.

Fortunately... they didn't suffer any casualties today.

Hopefully they will be so lucky tomorrow.

However, just as the slaves were about to fall asleep with such expectations, a strange male voice suddenly appeared in the cell.

"ROOM!"

Wave~
Under the flickering candlelight, a strange power fluctuation suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire room.

"Huh!? What happened?"

next moment……

Before the resting slaves could sit up, several sharp cold lights suddenly appeared in the dark cell.

In an instant, the originally extremely hard iron cell door suddenly broke into several pieces, and the cuts were neatly suspended in the air.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared directly in the cell.

"Shh!"

As soon as Usopp appeared, he made a gesture of silence to all the slaves.

"Don't make any noise! ​​We are here to get you out!"

"Those who do not want to be slaves anymore, gather around me now!"

As if it had been rehearsed long ago, Usopp spoke quickly to the nearly one hundred slaves in the cell.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire cell fell into absolute silence.

All the slaves looked confused, but soon, a little boy in the crowd stood up and ran quickly towards Usopp.

His actions also successfully motivated the other slaves in the cell. For a moment, although all the slaves had not fully understood the current situation, they still moved to Usopp's position.

Fisher Tiger's heroic deeds are a story known to almost every slave in Mary Geoise.

And every moment, they are expecting a hero to drop from the sky and save them from the fire like Fisher Tiger did.

But they never thought that this day would come so suddenly.

"Big Brother, are you heroes?"

Perhaps because he was young, or because he had not been a slave for long, the little boy who took action first showed an innocent smile, pulled Usopp's trouser leg and asked.

"hero?"

Usopp's nose turned up in a proud smile.

"We are not heroes!"

"We are pirates!!!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

As he spoke, he directly showed him his Green Goblin wristband, revealing the skull logo with a straw hat on it.

"The Straw Hat Pirates!?"

The mentally immature little boy cannot understand the difference between a pirate and a hero.

But at this moment, he kept that logo firmly in his mind.

When the slaves focused their attention, Usopp immediately nodded to Law next to him.

Luo, who had had this experience several times, also swung his blade skillfully.

In an instant, the heads and limbs of all the slaves were separated from their bodies.

As the slaves panicked and even looked terrified, the bomb chains that had originally imprisoned them fell to the ground in an instant.

Then Luo used the power of the fruit to reassemble the bodies of all the slaves.

Everything seemed like a dream.

"Okay, now you line up one by one and walk into my body."

Usopp's body suddenly expanded and instantly turned into an inconspicuous little house. He opened the door and spoke to the slaves.

"........."

Although they felt very strange, seeing that their shackles had been successfully removed, these poor people who had regained their freedom finally walked towards Usopp in the transformation warehouse.

Ten minutes later, Usopp looked at the empty slave cell and nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he summoned a signpost flying insect.

No language communication is required.

Having already visited several Celestial Dragon castles, they followed the signpost flying insects with ease and ran towards the treasure house of this Celestial Dragon.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Another Devil Fruit!?"

Looking at the strange fruit with black and white color handed to him by Appo, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Sanji's eyes.

Since entering Marijoa, this is the sixth devil fruit they have found in the Celestial Dragons' treasure house!

On average, there is a devil fruit in every two Celestial Dragon treasure houses.

In addition, there are countless precious swords and spears, rare treasures!
There are treasures worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the treasury of the Celestial Dragons that can even be described as commonplace.

This shows how luxurious the life of the Celestial Dragons is.

The next second, Sanji raised his hand and threw the devil fruit in his hand directly at Capone, who had turned into a castle, and it fell accurately into a room specially for collecting devil fruits.

"I don't know if there is a devil fruit suitable for that green algae-head..."

Sanji murmured quietly, his eyes scanning the mountain of treasure.

Although the powerful ability of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit allowed him to repeatedly gain the upper hand in the battles with Zoro, it was also because of this that Sanji became more aware of how terrifying Zoro's talent was!
Even after Zoro obtained the power of the fruit, it is very likely that he would change the current situation and crush him in combat power again.

But Sanji still hopes to compete fairly with Zoro.

As time slowly passed, the gold, silver and jewelry in the entire treasury were quickly loaded into Capone's body castle by a group of supernovas.

But after doing all this, Sanji frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said to the supernovas:
"This can't go on like this!"

"We don't have much time. The Tianlong people will soon discover something unusual."

"The treasure trove from now on must be selective, and only take the valuable items that are convenient and easy to get."

"we know."

Several supernovas nodded in agreement, and they also understood Sanji's concerns.

only……

When they thought about the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry right in front of them but had to pretend not to see them, they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts.

However, Sanji could not empathize with their pain at all.

"Okay, clean up, we're ready for the next one!"

Sanji just waved his hand and led a group of supernovas out of the castle.

Under the cover of night, we quickly moved towards the castle area next door.

……

……

Pangu City, where the chief of the Celestial Dragons lives.

"Hey, Nami, we've been walking for a long time, and we still haven't found the location of the treasure?!"

"Shh! Stop making noise!!!"

In the spacious and gorgeous corridor, Luffy, who had been walking forward cautiously for half a day, suddenly raised his head with an impatient expression.

Since entering Pangu City, they have been hiding from place to place, being wary of various patrolling guards.

That's nothing.

The key is……

From time to time, good news from Usopp's team and Sanji's team would be heard on their telepathic public channel!
One moment, they rescued dozens of slaves, and the next moment, they found a devil fruit or some other treasure...

Almost every ten minutes or so, they would receive a message like this.

On the other hand, Luffy and his four companions have been in Pangu City for more than an hour. They are either avoiding patrols or climbing various pipes.

This gap is too big a blow to Luffy!

In fact, Luffy was not the only one who felt bored and irritated.

The same is true for Nami! The treasure location in her mind is clearly not far ahead, but she has to move forward slowly...

This torture was even more painful to her than the thoughts of finding treasure that popped up in her mind from time to time.

But there is no way.

Pangu City is so huge!
In some ways, the size of this building is no less than that of some small islands or countries.

Without being able to use the mobile mechanisms inside Pangu City, it would be extremely difficult to reach the location where the treasure is imprisoned.

Fortunately, at this moment...

A green ghost fire suddenly appeared from the ceiling and then hit Luffy's skeletal body directly.

"It's Brooke who's back!"

Seeing this scene, Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up.

Nami and Robin also quickly turned their gazes over.

"Yohoho~"

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The returning Brook let out a soft laugh and apologized to his companions.

Nami, who had just been asking Luffy to be quiet, asked excitedly:
"How is it going!?"

"Is there anyone guarding the Celestial Dragons' treasure house?!"

After more than an hour's "long journey", they have finally arrived at the destination marked by Nami's picking up characteristics.

But this area is very strange. The building materials seem to have been specially processed and can actually block the exploration of spiritual power!

Not only was their observation Haki unable to detect the upwards, even Robin's psychic powers were helpless against it.

fortunately……

In addition to mental power, they also have additional methods of exploration.

That is Brook who can make his soul three-dimensional!
only……

In response to Nami's question, Brook first nodded, then immediately shook his head.

Such a scene made Nami and others feel weird instantly.

Brooke explained:
"There are indeed no guards guarding up there, but the room up there is not the treasure house of the Celestial Dragons..."

"Instead, it's more like... a scientific research base!"

"Scientific research base!?"

Hearing this answer, Nami and Robin looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Robin spoke directly:
"A scientific research base that can isolate mental power... This is very likely an important experimental area of ​​the World Government."

"So Brook, did you see what the treasure in Nami's characteristic sensing was!?"

"Ah."

When this was mentioned, the will-o'-the-wisp in Brook's skull's eye sockets suddenly jumped.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I think Nami sensed..."

"It must be the devil fruit in that room!!!"

"In that room, there is a whole box of devil fruits!"

“And some of them were placed directly on the table.”

"If the labels on the table are correct, the names of those devil fruits are..."

"Animal type·Bird-Bird fruit·Mythical beast type·Suzaku form;"

"Animal type·Cat-Cat Fruit·Mythical Beast·White Tiger Form;"

"Animal type·Snake Snake Fruit·Mythical Beast·Genbu form;"

"as well as……"

"Animal type·Beef-Beef Fruit·Mythical Beast·Qilin Form!!!"

"Suzaku, White Tiger, Black Tortoise..." Robin's eyes lit up when he heard Brook's introduction, "Plus Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit..."

"Aren't these the four great beasts that Chi Hong introduced before!?"

"Chihong said that the Azure Dragon Fruit originally belonged to the Celestial Dragons, but it was lost due to an accident."

"So, the Celestial Dragons actually collected these powerful mythical beast fruits long ago."

"Four mythical beast fruits and a box of devil fruits with unknown abilities?!"

"Isn't Nami's picking up ability too powerful?!"

At this moment, Akahira's voice suddenly appeared in the minds of Luffy and the other three, expressing his admiration for Nami's characteristics.

Although Chihong had thought that the Celestial Dragons' treasure house would be very rich, he had never expected it to be this rich.

only……

If Chihong guessed correctly, the laboratory that could isolate mental power should be the exclusive laboratory of Satan, the god of scientific defense among the Five Elder Stars.

So to say……

Compared to the mythical beast devil fruits, perhaps the scientific research information inside is more valuable!

Thinking of this, Chihong immediately told Nami and others what he was thinking.

At the same time, they were also told about the possible dangers that might arise inside.

After all, once they enter the scientific research base, it means that the spiritual connection between Chihong and them will be severed.

At that time, if Satan left any means in the scientific research base and caused Luffy and others to encounter an accident, Red would not be able to know about it in the first time.

The danger is self-evident!

It may even affect the actions of the Straw Hat Crew and the Supernova Alliance in the castle area.

Usopp and Sanji's actions can be said to be very smooth.

Even if we don't steal the treasure of Pangu City, the harvest will be equally impressive as long as we wait for them to complete the operation.

So is this risk really worth taking?
only……

After hearing Akahira's words, neither Luffy nor Nami showed any intention of backing down.

Luffy slapped his palm and laughed:
"We've come this far, how can we just give up?"

Nami's eyes sparkled and she licked her lips greedily:
"That's right. There's no such thing as returning empty-handed in my dictionary!"

I knew it would be like this. Chi Hong smiled:
"In that case..."

"Then go ahead without any worries!"

"It doesn't matter if we are discovered. I will definitely lead everyone to escape from here safely!"

"Hehe, I knew that you, Red, are the most reliable!" Luffy smiled foolishly and gave sincere praise to his vice-captain.

"Stop it~" Chihong also smiled.

……

……

at the same time.

The junction of Pangu City and the castle area.

A leisurely figure walked slowly on a strange road in the moonlight.

"Strange, where is this place?"

Zoro was walking alone under the moonlight, like a traveler taking a stroll after dinner.

But at this moment...

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of his eyes.

Although it was extremely dark and inconspicuous, it was unusually blinking in the silent night.

"Huh!?" Zoro looked up in surprise, looking at the strange building in front of him with curiosity.

The simple and profound architectural style is built in such an inconspicuous corner...

Rather than a house for living, this place is more like a small warehouse or an operation room.

Such a strange feeling instantly aroused Zoro's curiosity.

And anyway, his mission is to act freely.

The four words "self-use action" can be changed to mean...

Do whatever you want!

So without any hesitation, Zoro suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the construction area in front.

……

……

ten minutes later.

boom! ! ! ! !
A loud noise that caused the entire Mary Geoise to tremble suddenly sounded in the center of Pangu City and the castle area.

The blazing flames illuminated the entire sky above Marijoa.
