Zoro stood at the stern of the boat, sweating profusely and waving a dumbbell with several giant weights on the top. As he moved, the entire boat was shaking slightly.

The little black cat Besty was nestled aside, its scarlet cat eyes staring closely at the dumbbells in the green swordsman's hands, and its head swinging up and down in time with the latter's swing.

On the right side of the stern, a fishing trio consisting of a straw hat, a long nose, and a little reindeer were sitting on the edge of the boat, planning to add a few more dishes for today's dinner. However, looking at the empty fish baskets, they probably Their great plan was on hold.

"This cat is really boring."

Usopp glanced at Besti, then turned to look at the idiot captain sitting next to him with scratches on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"And you, Luffy, no matter how hungry you are, you won't go grab Besty's cat food, right?"

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Luffy held the fishing rod and laughed heartlessly: "The cat rice made by Sanji is very delicious."

"Hey, this isn't a question of whether it's delicious or not." The long-nosed brother said with a black line on his face.

"Give it up, Usopp."

Sherlock, who was holding a book in his hand, lay on the recliner, pushed up his glasses slightly, and said calmly: "Have you forgotten? Don't talk about cat food, Luffy is very hungry, but he doesn't even have any bait." Let it go”

"Well, actually the bait is pretty delicious too, hehehe~" Luffy grinned.

"Alas~~~~" xn Hearing this, the Straw Hats on the deck all sighed.

"Nami-san, Robin-chan, try the love drink I carefully made~~~"

At this time, a certain nymphomaniac chef came out of the cabin carrying a tray of drinks in circles like a whirlwind. He first handed a glass of juice to Nami, and then handed a cup of coffee to the lounge chair lying next to her. Robin was reading, and then Sanji touched his chin and murmured:

"But having said that, when can we reach the next island? The food reserves on the ship are running low."

After escaping from G8 Fortress, the Straw Hats had been sailing on the sea for more than a week, but they didn't even see the shadow of an island.The food reserves on the Merry are not much to begin with, and if this continues, the Straw Hat crew may really be hungry.

"Yes, Nami, how long do we have to sail?" Luffy stretched his arms exaggeratedly and took a glass of juice from Sanji's tray.

"Next island?"

Miss Navigator took a sip of juice happily, thought for a moment, and replied: "If I remember correctly, our next destination should be an island called Hannabal."

Nami obtained many precious nautical charts from Nabalon's archives. Through the information on these charts and the changes in weather and wind direction during these days of sailing, this talented navigator can roughly deduce the arrival of the Meri. Down the route of travel.

"That is an autumn island. The weather has stabilized in the past two days. I think we will be able to reach that island soon."

"Akishima." Chopper was holding a glass of juice, his dark deer eyes shining with anticipation.

"Although it's not my favorite Winter Island, I heard Doctor Doriel say that the scenery on Autumn Island is also very beautiful."

Usopp, Nami and the others smiled knowingly.

"Hannabal" The expression of a sinister goddess who was blowing hot air from a coffee cup changed slightly.

"What's wrong, Robin-chan?"

The nymphomaniac chef was keenly aware of Robin's strangeness and looked puzzled: "Is there something wrong with that island?"

"It's not a big problem." Robin shook his head slightly: "It's just that I went to that island with Crocodile a few years ago."

"Hey" everyone exclaimed.

"Robin, where are you and Sand Crocodile doing?" Nami asked.

Concentrating on the fragrant dark brown liquid in the coffee cup, Robin asked: "I wonder if you have heard of Oswald, the family whose emblem is the penguin."

Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper all shook their heads.

"Robin, are you referring to the largest arms manufacturer known as the World Government?" Sherlock pushed up his glasses slightly.

Although the former president of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce has always been in the East China Sea, the magician still has some understanding and interaction with the upper-level forces outside the East China Sea.

The same is true for the Golden Emperor, and the same is true for Oswald.

"Yes, Hannabal is one of the penguin strongholds on the Grand Line."

Robin nodded and smiled slightly: "Do you still remember the weapons that Sand Crocodile secretly funded for the Alabasta rebels? Most of those weapons were ordered from Hannabal, and by the way, there was also the original The giant bomb planned to be detonated in Albana also came from their family."

"I see. Is that island a branch base for arms dealers?"

"Um, it doesn't sound like a safe place."

Nami and Usopp looked at each other with subtle expressions. From each other's eyes, they saw the same worry and uneasiness.

"By the way, that island belongs to the World Government's Sanguan area like Mogu Town. Many vicious pirates gather on that island."

The charming eyes narrowed into two crescents, and a certain dark-hearted woman softly said the knife.

"o"x2

Hearing this, the timid trio were stunned for a moment, and then

"Ah~~~~I can't survive. I suddenly got a disease that prevents me from going to that island."

"Really? Hold on, Usopp," the innocent little reindeer exclaimed.

"Sanji, you go to the helm and we will immediately turn our course to Zoro. Stop exercising and put away the cable first."

"As you command, Nami-san." A certain person with curly eyebrows ran away with a look of infatuation.

"Hey~ why did Nami change the course?" Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head and asked doubtfully:

"Why don't we just go to that island? It sounds interesting."

"" Nami took a deep breath and turned to look at Captain Doubi, trying to enlighten him properly.

"Hey everyone" Zoro's call came from the stern of the ship.

"Look over there. Is there a ship coming towards us?"

Everyone looked intently in the direction Sauron pointed, and now the outline of a ship could be vaguely seen on the calm sea in the distance, and it was zooming in at a speed visible to the naked eye. According to this speed, the ship was not We'll catch up with the Meili in a moment.

"Is that ship a navy warship?" Luffy put up the awning with his hands and squinted his eyes, looking at the ships in the distance.

"No way." Nami's face suddenly turned pale.

"Idiot, the navy shouldn't be able to catch up so quickly." Sanji murmured to himself, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "I think it should be a pirate ship."

The fur on the "Pirate" blue-nosed reindeer exploded instantly.

"Wait, don't make blind guesses, let me take a closer look." Usopp nervously took out the telescope from his backpack and looked into the distance.

It was a large, beautifully decorated white ship. Although it was a bit far away, Brother Long-Nosed, who had far-sighted eyes, could still clearly see the flag hanging on the top of the ship's mast.

Since it is not the skull and crossbones flag of the pirates, it is not the seagull flag of the navy.

"It's strange, that ship actually flies two different flags."

Usopp slowly put down the telescope and said to his companions: "One flag has a penguin printed on it, and the other flag has a canary printed on it. It's really strange. What kind of ship is this?"

"That should be a merchant ship."

Sherlock pushed up his glasses gracefully: "Except for the self-reliant top chambers of commerce like the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, most of the merchant ships of other chambers of commerce will fly two kinds of flags."

"One flag represents the chamber of commerce, while the other flag represents the force to which the chamber of commerce belongs."

"Penguin Flag" Robin smiled slightly and analyzed: "If this is the case, then the force to which that merchant ship belongs should be the Oswald family."

Chopper tilted his neck: "Then this merchant ship is also going to Hannabal."

"Huh~~~ scared me."

Nami breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her plump breasts, and said with a stern look: "Since it is a merchant ship, we have nothing to be afraid of."

"Hmph, they should be the ones who are afraid, right?" Zoro raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms across his chest, and had a habitual evil smile on his face.

"After all, we are pirates too."

砰

As soon as the green-haired swordsman finished speaking, a loud cannon shot came from the white merchant ship. Along with the harsh sound of breaking through the air, a cannon shell passed through the air and landed not far behind the Meili. There was a huge explosion of water.

What's going on x2

Drenched by the falling water drops, the Straw Hats were collectively stunned, especially the green algae head who was slapped in the face instantly, and his face was even more livid.

Director, this script is wrong. To be continued.
