The sun is shining brightly and there are no clouds in the sky.
Grand Line once again explains the word "changeable".
The morning of the first day out to sea was covered with white snow. The afternoon of the first day was crisp and clear. The second day was full of wind and rain. Now it is the third day and we finally have the rare good weather.
As soon as Grand Line arrived, Buggy felt more nervous. In the past few days, Big Top's command was fully handed over to Mikuru. Ji Ze sat in the training room, practicing Devil Fruit's ability and physical strength. At the same time, he asked Shuma to be his sparring partner and tried to see if he could practice Haki.
Big Top is not a big ship, it is about a medium-sized ship. After the handyman pirates left, the cabin was a little empty. The extra rooms were transformed into independent training rooms and merged into larger bathrooms and restaurants. There were also some rooms used for leisure and entertainment.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about not having your own privacy and independent space, and there is no need to crowd together to rest.
At this time, Buggy was sitting quietly in the training room imagining and feeling the development of Devil Fruit, and the voice of Mohji came from outside, "Captain Buggy, I saw the island in front!"
Buggy opened his eyes, stood up, and walked outside.
On the deck, everyone blocked the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. The first island they had reached after sailing for so many days was quite exciting, not to mention the restless guy Shuma, who shouted excitedly.
Buggy walked to the front and followed everyone towards the island in the distance. There were tall coconut trees growing on the shore. Several figures in very cool clothes were running around on the golden beach, mixed with laughter and laughter. It seemed like a summer island.
As Big Top moved forward, the surrounding weather began to become warmer and humid, and after a while it finally reached the shore.
At this time, I could see it more clearly. The sand on the beach shone like grains of gold in the sun. Girls in bikinis and boys in shorts were laughing and playing. There were also many shops built on the beach smiling and welcoming customers. The flag of the pirate ship had no impact on them at all. It seemed to be normal for them.
Yes, after all, as the first island of Grand Line, countless pirates arrive every year, and Big Top is just an ordinary pirate ship among many.
"It's so hot here!" Shuma scratched his head, took off the leaf necklace he was wearing around his neck, and panted like a dog.
"Don't come here!" Buggy couldn't help complaining when she saw his appearance, "You should look at other people's situations!"
Shuma subconsciously looked at the hot sweat on Mikuru's face, then looked at his own clothes, couldn't help but tremble all over, and shouted, "Wow, it's not hot at all!"
Mikuru is already swaying. Her furry fur allows her to keep out the cold in winter, but it is very uncomfortable in summer. Shuma has always only had her lower body wrapped in animal skins and her upper body with her chest exposed. In comparison, she is so cool!
Kaya kindly held an umbrella for Mikuru, but the latter was very moved and rubbed his furry face against Kaya. As a result, Kaya also secreted a lot of hot sweat on his face and smiled helplessly.
"Hello!" An attendant in a suit came up from the beach and shouted to everyone on the boat, "Please don't stop the boat here, please come with me."
"It's a bit interesting..." Buggy felt a little strange. Not only did he not panic when encountering pirates, but he was also so calm and provided a port of call.
"Sure enough, Grand Line is different from where we stayed before. We are completely unprepared for pirates." Cabaji and Mohji, who came to Grand Line for the first time, also sighed in admiration.
With the consent of Buggy, the attendants led the way on the shore, and the ship docked at the port.
There are many pirate ships in the port, and there are even a few warships mixed in, and they all live peacefully.
After getting off the boat, Buggy asked the attendant, "Whose territory is this?"
The attendant bowed politely and said, "Hello, these matters will be explained to you by the elders. Please come with me."
Buggy led a few people behind the attendant and walked towards a hut near the beach. Looking along the way, most of the houses here were in the shape of bamboo buildings. People passing by only used simple fabrics to cover the key parts of their bodies. Basically, no one was seen wearing two or three pieces of clothing. It was true that a person was raised by the soil.
After walking for a while, the attendant stood in front of a house and bowed his head respectfully. "Sir, a new visitor has arrived."
A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a formal suit walked out of the room. He looked at the Buggy group in front of him and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Hello, welcome to Freedom Island, Xanavisen. I am Frog Elder. I am the 'guide' responsible for receiving you."
"It does look like frog food!" Shuma said without hesitation.
Frog Elder was not angry because of Shuma's tone, but just responded with SMILE.
The other party's actions made Buggy feel that something was wrong. It was not the individual, but the atmosphere of the entire island was too peaceful. As I thought before, as Grand Line's first island, there was not a single pirate causing trouble here?!
This kind of calmness is so strange...
Frog Elder seemed to see Buggy's doubts, stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and then slowly followed Buggy and said:
"This Xanavisen is the private product of Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo. It has a certain deterrent effect on both pirates and the navy. Pirates are not restrained and arrested here, but they dare not act recklessly. The navy will also temporarily put aside the task of arresting pirates. As you can see, it is a beautiful holiday island."
"As long as you can take out Beli, you can enjoy good hotels, beautiful scenery, and various performances." Frog Elder pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said calmly.
As long as the pirates who have just entered Grand Line have a clear mind, they will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the famous Shichibukai. Moreover, the pirates talk about nothing more than having fun. In such a place, as long as you are willing to spend some Beli, you can meet any needs without being wanted. It can be said to be a paradise for pirates.
Secondly, as Shichibukai, it has officially recognized legal status, and even the navy cannot touch its private property. More importantly, there are still some unclear relationships between Donquixote Doflamingo and Celestial Dragons.
To sum up, Donquixote Doflamingo is indeed a very skillful pirate, and he is able to expand his power and influence among all parties.
"Shichibukai..." Cabaji and Mohji looked at each other in shock. Shichibukai, composed of the seven great pirates recognized by World Government, possesses catastrophic destructive power and huge combat power that rivals the country. Only pirates with high reputations or high combat power that can intimidate everyone are eligible to be selected. Rumors about these people can often be heard even as far away as East Blue.
"So..." Cabaji pointed to the huge flag on a high-rise building in the town, "Is that the pirate flag of Shichibukai?"
