Yinglong

Everyone was in Bokudan's room, waiting for the buns to be cooked. Luffy was leaning on the bed, doing nothing.

"Grandpa Bokudan, why did the navy want to arrest Apis?" Usopp asked.

Bokudan sighed, "I don't know at all."

Naruto is a little strange. "Didn't you say there is a reason but you can't say it?"

Bokudan sighed again, "That's a lie to you."

Usopp was also surprised. "That means you don't know at all?"

Bokudan sighed again, "I don't know at all. There is really nothing on this island. If there is anything, there is only an ancient legend."

Luffy became interested. "Legend?"

Bokudan raised his already white eyebrows. "It is said that the residents here are the descendants of Lost Island who experienced prosperity tens of thousands of years ago but eventually sank to the bottom of the sea.

And on that Lost Island, there lived a kind of dragon called Millennium Dragon, and the bones of that dragon were called Dragon Bone, and people said it was Elixir of Life."

Sanji deliberately leaned against the door and took a puff of cigarette. "I see, but just based on this legend, it shouldn't be possible for the navy to dispatch such force."

"That's right, and why the navy would be dispatched is really puzzling." Bokudan stood up and walked slowly around the room, lighting an oil lamp in the already dark room.

Naruto took over the conversation. "Is there any clue in the legend?"

"Alas! It's a long story." Bokudan sat back in his seat and began to explain to everyone, "Lost Island The first generation king Iskantank Bogei Potter King Si had three children in total. The eldest son was called Bogei Hotes, the second son was called Bogei Boboko, and the third son was called Bogei Bogeibo.

One day the king told the three of them, "Listen up, you three, and go find Star Tree, which is said to exist in Dragon Valley. So Bogei Hotes, Bogei Popoko and Bogei Bogeibo went to the sea, the mountains, and the forest to look for each other..."

"It's starting again!" Apis found that Grandpa Bokudan was about to tell the ancient story at length again, so she quietly left the house and ran to the kitchen outside the house, waiting for the buns to be cooked.

Waiting until the buns were ready, Apis rummaged around to find a big bundle and put all the buns in it. "Master Old Dragon, you have to wait for me."

Apis climbed towards the top of Warship Island's mountain with a package that was even bigger than her, but she didn't notice the traces left by dragging the package on the ground along the way.

When they came to a cliff, Apis put the package on the ground and climbed up a big tree with difficulty, seemingly looking for something.

"Here!" It turns out that Apis had a length of rope hidden in the tree before. If you look carefully, you can find that the other end of the rope is tied to a tree on the opposite side of the cliff.

"Hey." Apis relied on this rope to fly not only herself, but also the huge package to the other side of the cliff. Even with her proficiency, it was obvious that this was not the first time she had done this.

However, this was not the end yet. Apis continued climbing with the big package until he reached a cave halfway up the mountain.

"I'm fine. A group of strange pirates saved me."

"They are not scary. You must be hungry. I brought Grandpa Bokudan's pork buns. Here they are."

"Okay, don't worry."

"I'm sorry, I haven't found it yet. I've been searching very hard, but I still can't find any clues."

Following the traces on the ground, we found Nami and Luffy. When we heard Apis talking to himself in the cave, we were very curious, 'Who is Apis talking to?'

Luffy did what he thought of and asked loudly, "Apis, who are you talking to?"

"Don't suddenly run over to talk to me." Nami jumped up angrily.

"Ah?" Apis suddenly heard someone speaking and was obviously startled.

Apis took a step back and tried to block the huge dragon behind her. "No, don't come over."

"Luffy? What happened?" Nami was a little surprised when he saw Luffy suddenly stiffened in place.

After walking around the corner of the cave and seeing what was going on inside, Nami showed the same expression as Luffy, just because what they saw was a real dragon. Although it looked too old to move, it was indeed a dragon.

After getting over the initial surprise of seeing the dragon, Luffy is now filled with excitement. "It's great, it's awesome, it's awesome!"

Seeing Luffy jumping up and down on the old dragon, Apis quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Don't do this, don't do this."

"It's true, the dragon is still alive!" Luffy finally lay on the old dragon's face, refusing to come off no matter how hard Apis pulled it, "Stop it, don't touch it."

"It's unbelievable. It actually exists. I thought dragons were legendary creatures." Even Nami couldn't accept it for a while.

Feeling the noisy and jumping Luffy, the old dragon opened its already somewhat cloudy eyes, ready to take a look at this rude little guy.

Seeing Old Long's eyes, Luffy became rarely serious. "Well, you want to go back to your hometown."

"Old Dragon said it is willing to make friends with you. It said it can see that you are a good person." Apis acted as a translator on the side, "But, Luffy, how do you know Old Dragon's wish?"

Luffy touched Straw Hat on his head and looked at Apis: "It feels like you are the one who can feel it so clearly."

Apis explained, "No, I am..."

"Could it be Devil Fruit? You are Devil Fruit User, right?" Nami also stepped forward at this moment.

"Well," Apis nodded, "I ate Whisper-Whisper Fruit, so I can hear what the animals are saying."

At this point, Nami feels that he has connected some things. "That's why you will know that the wind is coming out."

"Yes, the seabirds told me." Apis nodded, "I can know Old Dragon because of the secret flower fruit.

At that time, I was picking flowers on the mountain, and suddenly I heard a sad voice. It was the first time I heard such a sad voice, so I followed the voice and searched and searched until I found this place.

At that time, Old Dragon was not energetic at all. It said that it was separated from its companions, and since then it has been searching alone to find Lost Island where Dragon Lair is."

Nami was a little confused. "Lost Island, didn't you become silent a long time ago?"

"According to Old Dragon, the island will come up again. It said it's almost that time now, but Old Dragon said it can't remember the location of the island, and it's old and has lost the ability to fly, but it really, really wants to go back," said Here, Apis was a little disappointed, "I really wanted to help, but I had no idea where the island was, and I couldn't find any clues just by relying on legends. So I asked the navy who happened to come here, but I asked the wrong person. It turned out that they were looking for Dragon Bone."

Nami was still in shock. "Dragon Bone, are you talking about the immortal one? It turns out they arrested you for that kind of thing."

Apis's voice was very low. "They arrested me and asked me to tell everything I knew. Maybe they recognized me because I made the Dragon Armor that Old Dragon gave me into a necklace and wore it all the time."

"That's why you were in that storm? What a mess!" Nami was shocked by the boldness of the little girl in front of her, although in fact she was almost the same.

"So I didn't tell the people in the village, nor Grandpa Bokudan, because I didn't want to cause trouble to them, but I really wanted to send Old Dragon back to his hometown," said Apis, stepping forward and using her immature little He touched the rough skin of the old dragon with his hand. "Old Dragon often says that as long as you can return to Dragon Lair, you will be able to regain your energy. No matter how many years it takes, I will definitely help it find it. Absolutely, no matter what, I will definitely find it."

At the end, everyone present could feel the firm will contained in Apis's small body.

"Okay!" Luffy smiled, "Then I'll take it back!"

"Luffy! Are you listening? I told you that Lost Island has already sunk into the sea." Nami was a little anxious.

"But since even the legendary Millennium Dragon really exists, then Lost Island must also be somewhere." Luffy has a kind of honeyed confidence.

"How could an island that can't be found on the map exist?" Nami felt that Luffy didn't listen to what he was saying at all.

Luffy showed a firm look. "Yes. That's why I have to look for it."

"It's an island that's not on the map." Nami couldn't see it in the end and could only put his hand on his forehead, "In this case, there's no other way, let's go find it together!"

"It's so hot." A villager on the island was working in the fields. Suddenly he looked up and saw several ships approaching from the distant sea. "Then, what is that?"

"Is the navy coming again?" asked a villager nearby who was also working in the fields.

At this moment, Nami and Luffy had just returned to the house and found that everyone had fallen asleep while Bokudan was telling the history of the island. Even Bokudan himself had fallen asleep.

"Grandpa couldn't finish talking, and we fell asleep without realizing it." Naruto stretched and looked at Nami and others who came in.

At this time, a villager came to Luffy to report, "Everyone, this is terrible, the navy is coming, and their fleet has begun to block the port. You should quickly find a way to avoid it."

"Is it to catch Apis?" Nami immediately understood.

Usopp is still a little confused. "Why spend so much money on a girl?"

Since there were outsiders around, Nami couldn't speak directly, so she had to ask everyone to leave with her, "You guys come with me."

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the villagers who came to report, "When Grandpa Bokudan wakes up, tell us that we will protect Apis."

On top of the warship, a group of navies stood ready. "Their ship is ahead on the starboard side."

"Okay, the landing force will come with me to Warship Island. The rest of the group will keep an eye on their ship." Following the command of the naval lieutenant colonel, everyone quickly acted according to their responsibilities.

"Ah!"*N

Everyone followed the footsteps of Luffy and Nami and came to the cave on the top of the mountain again. When they saw the old dragon inside, everyone was amazed for a moment.

"This is what Grandpa Bokudan said, the legendary Millennium Dragon." Nami introduced.

Luffy was also very excited. "How is it? It's amazing!"

Zoro looked at the huge old dragon. "If you get closer to 'Grand Line', there will even be such a thing."

Sanji also nodded. "Even Sea King has it, so it's nothing."

Naruto also expressed emotion. "The creatures in this world are really magical. I really didn't expect such existence to exist."

Even Sasuke is a little uneasy. "With scales, it's Jiao Dragon, with wings, it's Yinglong, with horns, it's Qiu Dragon, and without horns, it's Chi Dragon. What was recorded in the books that Hua Clans read before is actually true!"

Hinata also nodded in approval. "That's right, the bird feather dragon body is none other than Yinglong."

"Yinglong? Isn't it Millennium Dragon?" Luffy was a little confused.

Sasuke shook his head. "It's just a different name."

"The navy's goal is Millennium Dragon. What I want to discuss with you is the matter of sending Millennium Dragon back to Lost Island." Nami quickly put the topic on track.

"What are you talking about? The navy has already chased us here. It's already very difficult for us to escape on our own, but it's impossible to do it with such a big one." Usopp was very anxious.

"But Old Dragon really wants to go back to his hometown, so..." Apis lowered his head as he spoke.

Usopp said with a slightly tearful tone, "Luffy Could it be that you have already agreed to send it back to your hometown?"

"Ah, yes, I have already agreed." Luffy nodded matter-of-factly.

Usopp felt bad. "Wait a minute, I don't even know where the island is, okay? How are you going to get there?"

"Huh? There will always be a way." Luffy didn't care.

"That's weird!" Usopp now wants to beat up Luffy.

"Old Dragon, I originally thought that if you could return to your hometown, you would definitely regain your energy..." Apis touched the old dragon's head with some melancholy.

"No, even if it returns to its hometown, it will not recover. It is old and not injured. Although it does seem to be a Yinglong species, it is not a Phoenix after all. It has no ability to rise from the ashes." A voice came from the cave behind everyone.

"Who?" Everyone was shocked, thinking that the navy was already chasing him.

As a result, what appeared in front of them was Bai Sui, dressed in white robes and floating in the air.

"Mrs. Grandpa?" Naruto was a little confused when he saw the appearance of Bai Sui.

"Naruto, why are you stuttering?" Usopp was a little strange.
