Chapter 47
Hearing about the navy, Abis' body trembled a few times, and immediately turned around in a panic:
"Oh no, oh no, the navy must want to catch Long Ye!
No, I have to go accompany Long Ye"
"Don't worry, Abis."
Luffy held his straw hat with one hand and looked at the warship in the distance, and held Abis's little head with the other hand and smiled slightly:
"With me here, no one can catch Lord Long!
Abis, you don't want Lord Long to be caught by the navy, right?
Just stay on the ship."
Abis, who was originally very anxious, felt much more at ease after hearing Luffy's words.
She looked up at Luffy, her big eyes full of admiration, and then nodded heavily:
"Yeah! I'll listen to Luffy."
Luffy smiled when he heard that, then turned to look at Nami and said:
"Nami, don't worry about the navy, we can just go in directly"
"Go in?"
Nami asked in confusion.
The others looked at Luffy in confusion.
Luffy pointed to the front and said:
"Drive forward, and you will know what I mean."
Nami and the others drove the ship towards the direction Luffy pointed with doubt, and soon everyone's face changed.
Because the bow of the Merry seemed to disappear in front of them!
""Ahhh! Merry!"
Usopp exclaimed in surprise.
The others also changed their expressions.
Luffy said speechlessly:
"It's just a mirror like a barrier. Lord Long said don't worry."
Although Luffy said so, as the hull of the Merry gradually disappeared in front of them, their faces gradually became weird.
They never thought that this so-called mirror would be like this.
Nami and the others on the Merry were all scared, not to mention the navy following behind.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on?"
"Isn’t it weird?"
"Lieutenant Colonel, are we still going to chase them?"
"Eric, this is a special situation. The waters ahead are unknown. I can't let so many soldiers accompany you in on the adventure!"
"In that case, give me a boat and I will follow!"
""Ah? You want to go too?"
On the navy ship, the soldiers were obviously frightened when they saw the Merry disappearing in the air.
Bang!
In an instant, a small boat was lowered from the ship, and the man with purple curly hair and a pair of glasses jumped down easily.
He seemed to not care about the strange scene in front of him at all.
"Eric, you wanted to go there yourself!"
The lieutenant colonel standing on the warship said to Eric below.
Eric ignored him and just put his hands together to make a sword-like gesture and waved it backwards.————
Whoosh whoosh————
Several wind blades suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sent a sudden thrust to the rear, pushing Eric's boat forward like a motorboat.
Seeing this scene, the lieutenant colonel on the warship wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"Devil Fruit users are so scary!"
The navy officers following him nodded and said in a low voice:
"Lieutenant Colonel, should we report to the Admiral?"
The Lieutenant Colonel curled his lips:
"We can't act rashly before Eric comes out. Let's just wait for him here."
""Yes!"
After hearing the lieutenant colonel's words, the navy soldier immediately saluted and walked away.
On the other side.
In the mirror barrier.
After the Merry came in, Nami and the others exclaimed again.
Because the sea area inside this mirror barrier is completely different from the sunny day outside, the sky is covered with dark clouds and the sea is rough.
Nami just sniffed the air and shouted in a deep voice:
"Zoro, hold on to the mainsail, and Kin, control the jib.
Sanji and Usopp, control the rudder.
A storm is coming, and we need to be prepared.
Luffy, take Abis and watch over Lord Dragon, and don't let it slip into the sea."
Under Nami's orderly arrangement, everyone on the Merry shouted at the same time:
"Got it!!!"
Nami nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the sky with a serious expression while writing in her sailing diary.
These are all sailing experiences that need to be recorded at all times.
Boom boom————
Whoosh whoosh————
Sure enough, soon after Nami finished speaking, there were thunders in the sky, and the storm immediately roared down.
Fortunately, Nami warned them in advance, otherwise they would be very passive.
Only then did they understand how powerful Nami, the navigator, was!
After Nami's micro-manipulation, it took the Merry about half an hour to get rid of the storm.
Then, the Merry suddenly entered a sunny day and a blue sea environment like a mirror.
The scene that suddenly appeared in front of them caught everyone on the Merry by surprise.
After all, the sky was dark and cloudy and the sea was rolling in the previous minute, and it became this peaceful scene in the next minute.
Especially the sky above the head, it is so beautiful that it makes people sigh.
Above the sky behind Luffy Merry, there are still dark clouds.
And above the sky in front of Merry, there is a huge circular hole, with thin white clouds floating above the hole, plus the blue sky and gentle sunshine.
The calm sea and the ancient island in the distance formed a beautiful and shocking scene under extreme contrast.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the Merry was amazed.
"What a beauty!"
"I didn't expect to see such a wonderful sight after the storm."
"This kind of scene seems to exist specifically!"
"So, in that case, the island ahead is where the dragon's nest is?"
"This is not surprising, right? After all, isn't it normal for a thousand-year-old dragon's nest to be a little special?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the Merry floated to the port of the island.
This port vaguely shows traces of past human activities, and coupled with the stone houses made of bricks and stones on the island, it even gives people a feeling that people are still living there.
But after Luffy landed on the island, he used his observation Haki to scan it.
Unfortunately, there were no living people on it except for some birds and small animals.
"Luffy, how is it?"
Nami looked at Luffy.
She knew that Luffy was just observing the situation on the island with his observation Haki.
Hearing Nami's words, Luffy shook his head and said:
"There are no living people.
This island must have been abandoned for a long time.
I just don't know why Lord Long came to this place.
I don't seem to find any traces of a dragon's nest here."
Hua La————
After pulling Lord Long ashore, the handcart finally came in handy.
Luffy and Zoro pulled Lord Long around the stone city like two old oxen, while Luffy talked to Lord Long:
"Lord Long, is this really the Dragon's Nest you mentioned?
I scanned it before, and it seems there is nothing else except some ruins on the top of the mountain." Abis was sitting on Lord Long's back and talking to him.
——————
After a while of being in a daze, Long Ye seemed to suddenly remember something, raised his head and neighed.
Hearing this sound, Luffy turned his head to look at Long Ye in surprise and said:
"Are you sure? Well, I'll try it later.
This island has not been inhabited for so many years, and I don't know if the mechanism can still be used."
After that, Luffy explained to everyone what Lord Long had just said to him.
What he meant was that the dragon's nest was in the ruins on the top of the mountain.
There is a mechanism in the ruins that can open the top of the mountain, and then let the injured or aging Millennium Dragon come to this place, and use the dragon pool in the dragon's nest to restore their own strength.
And thus become younger.
This is one of the main reasons why the Millennium Dragon can have a long lifespan.
When Nami and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
They didn't expect that they could hear such a secret, and they all felt that this adventure was not in vain.
After Luffy and the others struggled to pull Lord Long to the top of the mountain, Eric finally slid out of the storm sea with difficulty.
If he hadn't seen the Merry in the port in the distance, he would have doubted whether he was chasing in the wrong direction.
"Very good!"
After seeing the Merry, Eric's smile became more and more intense, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud:
"There is no better place to kill and bury the dead than this. After I kill you and take the keel, I can just use your ship to escape!
As for the order of Admiral Nelson, that fat pig in the navy, let him die!
Fate is in my hands, fate is in my hands!
Hahahaha————"
