A hint of fish belly white appears in the east, and it's another new day.
"How long?" Buggy looked at Mikuru lying lazily on the deck.
Mikuru yawned and stretched, "It's almost there, about an hour."
During the two-day voyage, Kaya finally gave a confident answer. She would follow the ship until the moment she fulfilled her dream, and the ship was finally approaching the portal of East Blue, Loguetown.
In the town of beginning and end, in his memory, Buggy had been here once. That was nearly twenty years ago. He personally watched Roger being tortured on the execution platform. Captain Roger, who was obviously unparalleled in the world, was killed by two ordinary sailors.
At that time, he cried bitterly, immersed in pain and unable to extricate himself. However, as time passed, this sincere feeling gradually faded away and was buried deep in his heart. That time was probably the first time in Buggy's life that he cried from the bottom of his heart. After that, he never cried again.
When he thought about the place he was about to arrive, Buggy couldn't help but feel a lot of heat in his heart. He covered his heart. It was a strange feeling. It should be the instinctive power of his body.
Looking into the distance, Shuma only saw small islands like ants, and he shouted, "Buggy, I saw it, I saw it!"
Buggy waved his right hand, "Retract the sail."
Cabaji and Mohji neatly put away the pirate sail flag. Big Top followed the waves and approached Loguetown. The speed was not fast, but it was very concealed.
East Blue has always been the weakest sea area on the surface. The naval force of Loguetown guarding the entrance is actually not large, although one person of White Hunter is equivalent to thousands of troops.
Big Top only got a little closer, and Buggy asked Shuma to walk Geppo to check which part of the coast was sparsely populated, so as not to attract the attention of the navy.
After that, we finally reached the shore and stopped at a deserted beach.
Mohji will guard the ship, Buggy will distribute Beli 100,000 each to Kaya and Shuma, Kaya is responsible for purchasing medicines and medicinal materials, Shuma is responsible for purchasing fresh reserve ingredients, and several other handyman pirates, under the instructions of Buggy, began to collect the location and information of Loguetown.
After that, Buggy plans to put these handyman pirates and that Square-Faced Navigator down here and pay some pensions. Even if they are reluctant, they have made up their minds, After all, Grand Line is not a playboy. Even Buggy himself does not think that everything can be anticipated and avoided. Without the means of survival, these weak guys will always be the first to be spotted and then killed.
Similarly, they are not reputable pirates. As long as they change their appearance, they can survive in this weakest sea area without worrying about being sniped by bounty hunters.
Although he combines the cunning and coldness of Buggy's character, his own personality is the dominant one. He has more or less feelings for these hard-working pirates, not deeply, but they can be seen.
Kaya came to such a big town for the first time. The towering and unique buildings, the huge fountain square, and the wide streets were completely incomparable to Syrup Village.
There was a stream of people walking along the road, talking and laughing, and there were a dazzling array of shops everywhere. There were so many forked roads and secluded alleys that it was dazzling, and it was a bit dizzying.
However, for Kaya, who has experienced what happened to Cocoyasi Village, her timidity has gradually faded away, and under the passive influence of Devil Fruit, her body is constantly recovering and strengthening every day. These changes have gradually allowed her to do things on her own.
"That store is a medicine store!"
Looking at the store with the font name "Granny's Medicines", Kaya showed joy on his face and walked over.
"Hello, is there anyone there?" Kaya opened the door. It was dark inside and there was no reply at all.
Just looking at it, you can see the shabby wooden tables and chairs, the medicine counter covered with spider webs, and the flickering candlelight that is about to be extinguished. The depressed and dilapidated appearance has a strange feeling that makes people palpitate.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Kaya shouted politely again.
"Is anyone here?"
The repeated words startled Kaya, and then she realized that it was her own echo in the sealed room.
"It doesn't look like anyone will live here. I'd better find another pharmacy." She breathed out an uneasy breath and turned to leave.
"This door..." I pushed the door open with my hand, but the door seemed to be fixed to the space and did not move at all.
"What's going on!!" Kaya's heart suddenly pounded. She remembered that the story told by Usopp contained stories about hundreds of ghosts, such as hungry ghosts who had not had enough food and clothing during their lifetimes and wandered around the restaurant after death, stealing food from guests.
Another example is the execution of criminals who turn into evil spirits and kill innocent people everywhere in order to vent their anger.
And this shop looks like it has been uninhabited for decades. Could it be that the owner sold some harmful medicinal materials, killed others, and finally paid for it with his life, and after death he turned into an earthbound spirit wandering here!
Bang!!
Suddenly there was a hard touch on his feet, Kaya screamed in fright, instinctively looked down, and saw the thing under the dim candlelight.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and patted her chest in shock, "It turned out to be the jar placed at the door."
As her eyes moved downward, the weak candlelight in the room suddenly went out, and then, a white figure flashed past.
Kaya glanced inadvertently out of the corner of his eye, and quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing in front of him. The surroundings were pitch black, as if a black curtain hung in front of his eyes, and the whole room revealed a strange and absurd atmosphere.
"Didi didi..."
I don't know which direction the sound came from. It rang without warning. It immediately synchronized with the beat of my heart in the blink of an eye!!
What the hell is this place!
Kaya's heart was pounding and he didn't dare to stay for a moment. He squeezed the door handle tightly with both hands and pushed it out.
But I don't know why, there was a ray of light coming from under the crack of the door, but the door couldn't be opened at all.
"Hello..."
A hoarse and eerie voice came from behind. This voice in the weird environment gave Kaya the illusion that firecrackers were exploding from the end of the spine to the top of the head.
Time around her seemed to slow down a lot. She turned her head away bit by bit, her pupils suddenly expanded, and she couldn't see anyone in front of her!!
"Little girl, don't use too much force, the door hinge is broken."
A tube of light suddenly came on underneath.
Kaya took a deep breath and did not dare to spit out. He slowly looked down and saw a very short old woman wrapped in a white quilt. She was holding a candle in her hand. There was a slightly ferocious scar on her wrinkled face.
Kaya's legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground, "Here comes the Earthbound Spirit!"
