One Piece: Tulip Family

Time is like water, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

The sea ebbed and flowed, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed in a hurry.

Two years later, the West Sea, the waters off O'Hara.

On this day, the sky was clear, the sea was calm, and a medium-sized merchant ship was sailing towards O'Hara Island with full sails.

It was a brand new merchant ship, the hold was full of cargo ready to be shipped to O'Hara Island, the sailboat had a deep draft, and even if the wind was right, the speed of the ship was not very fast due to the load.

On the deck, the sailors were busy working, carrying goods back and forth from time to time, adjusting the sails, busy and sweating, only a little boy of about twelve years old was lying near the fence and looking at the sea with great interest, he was gorgeously dressed and unusual from ordinary people, it was Truman, the youngest son of the owner of this merchant ship.

This was Truman's first voyage to the sea, and it was also a precious opportunity that he had begged his father for a long time, so he cherished this precious trip, and he was always excited along the way, preferring to stay on the deck and listen to the sea birds chirping rather than go back to the cabin.

Truman was holding a telescope in his hand, which was a birthday gift from his father on his tenth birthday, and he didn't have the opportunity to use it when he stayed at home on weekdays, and this time he went to sea, and finally came in handy.

Through the binoculars, he could see the sea farther away, as if he were a little lookout, having fun with himself.

At this moment, a ship suddenly appeared in the telescope, this is a hideous sailing ship, the hull is dark red, the bow of the ship is like a vicious crocodile, the fangs and teeth are terrifying, and there is a huge sharp ramming angle on the top of the crocodile's head.

"Oh my God, there's a pirate ship coming, be on alert!"

Truman moved the telescope up slightly, and finally saw the pirate flag fluttering in the wind on the mast of the sailboat in the distance, and confirmed the identity of the other party's pirate.

However, hearing Truman's warning, the sailors on the ship only looked up at him curiously, and then buried themselves in their own business, as if they had not heard anything.

"Hey, did you hear that, there's a pirate coming, get ready for battle!"

Seeing that the sailors were indifferent to their warnings, Chumen jumped to his feet in a hurry, and couldn't help but roar loudly, you must know that this ship is the lifeblood of his father, if he is unfortunately robbed by pirates, his family will probably have to drink the northwest wind in the future.

"Stinky boy, what's the hell about?"

At this moment, a strong voice sounded from behind Truman, and with a "bang", he received a strong shiver on his head.

Truman turned around with his sore head knocked out, and what appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man with a sturdy body, shirtless, bulging muscles all over his body, and a broadsword more than a man tall on his back, it was Johnson, the captain in charge of security on this merchant ship.

"But Uncle Johnson, there really are pirate ships!" Truman pointed to the pirate ship in the distance with an aggrieved face and reminded him, tears flashing in his eyes, and he almost fell into tears.

"Isn't it just a pirate ship? What's all the fuss, O'Hara is the most famous black market exchange in the Western Sea, and it's not uncommon for pirate ships and smuggling ships to appear in the nearby waters.

Johnson touched Truman's head, shrugged off his reminder, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous.

"But what if we are attacked by a pirate ship, this is all Daddy's family."

As soon as he heard Johnson say that it was normal for pirate ships to haunt the nearby waters, Truman became even more nervous, knowing that they were on a standard merchant ship, and the firepower was not strong, and once they encountered an attack by a pirate ship, they would almost certainly lose.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Hearing Truman's concern, the nearby sailors couldn't help but laugh, as if they had heard a great joke.

"Did I say something wrong?" Truman asked with an embarrassed look on his face, a look of hesitation, and he was a little overwhelmed by the inexplicable laughter of the sailors.

"Laughing at what? What's so funny? It's normal for the little master to go to sea for the first time, and it is normal for you to not understand these common senses, you are laughing at a fart and not working.

Seeing Truman's bewildered look, Johnson immediately reprimanded his sailors loudly and instructed them to work, before saying to Truman: "Don't worry, little master, we have entered the safe sea area demarcated by the Tulip family, and no pirate ship dares to plunder here."

"Besides, we're merchant ships with the Tulip Family flag."

Johnson pointed to the tulip-emblazoned golden flag hanging from the bow of the ship and said, "No pirate ship will dare to attack us!" "

The Tulip Family? Who is it? Truman asked curiously.

Seeing Truman's curious baby's expression, Johnson simply pulled Truman to sit on the deck and chattered.

"The Tulip family is the ruler of O'Hara Island, where we are about to arrive, and the steward of order in the nearby seas."

"Are they strong?" Although the Tulip family was still a strange family in the impression of Truman who was going to sea for the first time, listening to Uncle Johnson's tone, they seemed to be amazing, and Truman couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Strong, strong like a monster."

Johnson replied without thinking, and then explained the history of the Tulip Family to Truman, "Two years ago, Satan, the young master of the Tulip Family, issued three major decrees on O'Hara Island, the most famous of which is the ban on martial arts, that is, any pirate group that raids O'Hara Island and the surrounding waters will be sanctioned by the Tulip Family.

"In the beginning, all the pirates took this decree as a deaf ear, and even some pirates who were not angry with this decree even went to the vicinity of O'Hara Island to loot, deliberately provoking the majesty of the Tulip family, wanting to see their jokes."

"And then?" Truman couldn't wait to hear what was going on.

"Then, the Tulip family sent four family cadres, [Thor] Anilu, [Tailless-tailed Beast] Dry Ghoul Shark, [Explosive] Deidara and [Devil Patrol] Lafitte, just four people, in one day, slaughtered 43 pirates who challenged the majesty of the Tulip family."

Speaking of this, Johnson paused, his voice trembled a little, and now just by saying it, he could feel the strength and strength of the Tulip family.

"Since then, the Tulip family has been prestigious, prestigious, and no pirate group dares to challenge the rules set by the Tulip family, O'Hara and the nearby waters have become a famous safety zone in the West Sea, and even now, as long as it is a merchant ship flying the Tulip family flag, no pirates dare to plunder in the entire West Sea, and they can't afford the revenge of the Tulip family."

"What a powerful family, I really want to meet the powerful cadres of the Tulip family."

After listening to Uncle Johnson's explanation, Truman's eyes were full of longing, and he couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly to O'Hara Island to meet the powerful Tulip family.
