"Look, everyone!"
From the air, Melie stared at a giant rock in front of her and said, "There are many people behind that rock."
"Are they companions of those two guys from earlier?"
As she spoke, Melie carefully examined the appearance of those people; they were all unusual centaurs!
"They look very similar."
Usopp stared at them intently for a moment and said, "Look, they all have special lower bodies."
"That really is..."
'
Zoro looked surprised. Just how many of these cyborgs were there?
Nico Robin chuckled and said, "Looks like the intelligence issue is settled."
As she spoke, Nicole Robin glanced at west Yan, her meaning all too clear.
west Yan smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's true."
Then, west Yan pointed to the group of people and continued, "Meili, fly over there. Let's see if we can get some information from these guys."
"profound!"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Mei Li nodded, then manipulated the wind to fly towards the direction of Cha Hu Zi and the others.
"Um?"
As if sensing something, the tea-bearded man subconsciously looked up at the sky, then his pupils contracted and he exclaimed, "Warning! Someone's flying over here!"
Upon hearing the man with the tea-beard's voice, his subordinates looked up at the sky, then exclaimed in disbelief, "Why are there people in the sky?"
"A person with special abilities?"
"They must be ability users, otherwise there's no way to explain why they can fly."
As he spoke, the man with the tea beard drew his large sword from his waist, his eyes becoming wary.
"Boss, they're the invaders this time, aren't they?"
That's most likely the case...
'
"What about our companions on the other side?" one person asked. "Does their presence here mean...?"
'
Hearing the other person's words, the tea-bearded man took a deep breath and said, "They've probably already met with some misfortune..."
'
After letting out a silent sigh, the man with the tea mustache said, "Alright, everyone, cheer up!"
"Bomb them with cannons!"
The loss of our comrades is certainly heartbreaking, but now is not the time to think about those things. The most urgent task is to eliminate these invaders in front of us!
"clear!"
The subordinates nodded upon receiving the order, then picked up their cannons, aimed them at west Yan and the others in the air, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
"bump!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
The next moment, several howitzer shells flew out, heading straight for west Yan and the others in the air.
"These things are useless against me!" Mary shouted. "Explode them all!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful gust of wind flew out from Meili's hand and accurately hit the cannonball in mid-air, detonating it directly!
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"So it wasn't that simple after all..."
'
The man with the tea beard, who had taken in all of this, immediately frowned.
Although we don't know what kind of ability the other party has, judging from the current situation, the cannonballs don't seem to be of much use.
Just as Teabeard was pondering what to do next, Mei Li led Xi Yan and the others down rapidly, landing precisely not far from Teabeard and the others.
"Whoosh~"
"Click~"
After regaining his footing, west Yan smiled and glanced at the group, saying, "Yo, hello everyone~"
Tea Beard: ? ? ?
No, is it really that arrogant?
"Boy, do you know who I am?!" He raised his broadsword, pointing it directly at the man with the tea-beard from west Yan, and said, "I am Tea-Beard!"
"You still dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"
Does this kid not know how to write the word "death"?
west Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then stared at the man with the tea beard for a closer look, and asked in surprise, "You're that man with the tea beard?"
Is this the guy that the other person mentioned earlier, the boss?
If that's the case... this guy should know something, right?
Thinking of this, west Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Oh ho, so you actually know my name." The man with the tea mustache smirked. "Looks like I'm quite famous outside~"
After saying that, TeaBeard paused for a moment, then put his hands on his hips and said, "That's right, I am the great pirate with a bounty of 8000 million Berries, TeaBeard!"
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing this, west Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
An 8000 million...great pirate?
Then what is he?
Super Pirate?
"You bastard, what are you laughing at!" the tea-bearded man roared.
Does this guy look down on him?
"Looks like this guy doesn't recognize who we are," said Mary, who was floating in mid-air.
"I think so," Nico Robin nodded in agreement.
Tea Beard: ? ? ?
What do you mean by not recognizing the other person?
Who are they?
Then, Teabeard noticed the straw hat Luffy was wearing.
"Wait... this straw hat..."
'
"Who are you..
'
As if he had just realized something, the tea-bearded man's expression immediately changed.
"You're Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy with a bounty of 5 million Berries!!"
Damn it, why are the Straw Hat crew in Punk Hazard?!
what?
"550 million Berry?!"
The other centaurs looked at Luffy in shock; this young man who looked only about twenty years old actually had 5...
Is it the bounty for 100 million dollars?
Isn't this a bit too scary?
No... that's not the point!
The key point is that they simply can't defeat this kind of enemy!
Realizing this, the men immediately ran away, shouting, "Everyone, this kind of enemy is no match for us! Run!"
"He's right." The tea-bearded man also ran back, saying, "Let's get out of here quickly and tell the master what happened!"
In the end, he was just a pirate with a bounty of less than 100 million, and he was no match for the Straw Hat Pirates, so he had to escape!
"What do we do? They're going to escape," Mary said.
"We can ignore the others, but we must catch that guy called Tea Beard." west Yan pointed to Tea Beard in the distance and said, "This guy probably knows a lot of things."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood west Yan's meaning: he intended to extract information from the other party.
"Let's grab him then," Luffy grinned. "He can carry us to find Nami and the others."
west Yan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Luffy in surprise and said, "Are you treating him like a transport vehicle?"
""
Hehe~
Don't you think this is funny?
Although he didn't know what the transport vehicle west Yan was talking about was, he just thought the crocodile centaur was really cool!
west Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this. "Use a crocodile centaur as a transport vehicle?"
It feels a bit strange.
However, since Luffy had already spoken, he couldn't say anything more.
"I said, if we don't act now, they'll get away," Usopp said.
After saying that, he took out several explosive pellets from his pocket, then raised his slingshot and fired the pellets.
"Ultimate Move - Tenfold Explosion Star!"
"Whoosh~"
The flying explosive projectile grew longer in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it became a cannonball-sized explosive shell.
The next moment...
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"what!"
The enemy hit by the shell immediately screamed in agony, then rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Usopp smirked and said, "Looks like I'm still pretty awesome."
hahaha~
Seeing that Usopp had made a move, the others said nothing more and decisively launched an attack on the distant enemy.
In the end, all of these people lay on the ground under the attack of west Yan and his group.
"Cough cough..."
'
The tea-bearded man, who had just been beaten up by Luffy, said with a grim expression, "What a bunch of monsters..."
'
As expected of the Straw Hat Pirates, their strength is truly terrifying.
Then, Teabeard gripped his long sword tightly, ready to fight Luffy and his crew to the death.
Seeing this, west Yan calmly asked, "Tea Beard, are you sure you want to do this?"
"If you make another move, you won't be so lucky."
As he spoke, west Yan glanced at the enemies lying trembling on the ground, his meaning clear.
After hearing west Yan's words, Tea Beard fell silent.
Is he being threatened by his subordinates?
"Damn it, you despicable pirate!"
"Hey boss, don't mind us!"
"That's right, please leave quickly and go find your master!"
"Hurry, boss!"
Tea mustache:
Does he not want to leave to find his master?
The problem is, he simply can't do it!
These powerful individuals would never give him that opportunity.
But to ask him to give up like this is really...
Just then, west Yan punched a nearby boulder, shattering it in one blow!
"boom!!!"
Tea Beard: !!!
Tea Beard was dumbfounded when he saw this.
A boulder the size of a small mountain, shattered with a single punch?
Is this guy a monster?
After a moment of silence, Teabeard readily threw the large knife in his hand to the ground.
That look clearly showed that they had given up resisting.
He then said, "You can do whatever you want, but please don't continue to harm my men."
There was no point in resisting, so he chose to follow his heart.
Upon hearing this, west Yan was speechless.
How can you say they're like villains?
"Let's go, carry us to the front." Luffy stepped forward, patted the crocodile's thigh, and said, "We're going to the front to find our crew!"
"partner?"
Teabeard paused for a moment, then said in surprise, "So those people we captured before were members of your Straw Hat Pirates."
No wonder they came here to cause trouble; it turns out they ended up arresting their people!
This is such a mess...
"That's right, they're one of ours," Usopp nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Teabeard pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. Who would have thought that the pirate they captured would be a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?
They really... messed with a bunch of freaks!
Just then, a figure came running from a distance, shouting, "Everyone!!!"
"I've finally found you!"
"?"
Upon hearing the voice, Mary paused for a moment, then looked up at the hilltop in surprise and exclaimed, "It's...it's Brooke!"
"How did he end up here?"
Zoro asked in confusion, "Shouldn't he be facing the front at this moment?"
Didn't we agree to meet up face-to-face? Why did we end up here?
"Maybe it's so they can reunite with us sooner," Usopp guessed.
This time, Zoro simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Soon, Brook ran down the mountain and rushed to Luffy and the others.
"Why do you look so flustered?" Nicole Robin asked curiously. "Is someone chasing you?"
As she spoke, Nicole Robin glanced behind Brooke, but did not see any suspicious figures.
"people?"
Thinking back to the strange guy he had encountered before, Brooke shook his head and said, "Not really."
"
That headless, bodyless creature shouldn't be considered human.
Brook then glanced at the people lying on the ground and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Ah, these guys tried to attack us, so we beat them to a pulp," Luffy grinned.
"Yohohohoho~"
"I see."
As expected of his partner, his strength is truly formidable!
"Alright, get on first." Zoro, having climbed onto the tea-bearded crocodile's body, patted the crocodile's skin and said, "We can talk as we walk."
They don't have any extra time to waste here, so it's better to talk as they walk.
Upon hearing this, Brooke looked at the tea-bearded man with some curiosity and asked, "What's... going on with him?"
Were they left behind specifically to be used as a means of transportation?
"Ah, I'm planning to have him carry us up ahead," Luffy said, grinning. "That would be fun, wouldn't it?"
After all... this is a handsome crocodile centaur!
It's so cool to have someone like that carrying them!
"Yohohohohoho."
57
"That's really interesting!"
Brooke smiled, then joined the others and climbed onto the back of the tea-bearded man.
Then, Brooke glanced at Mary and said, "Miss Mary, could you please give me a cotton coat too?"
Everyone has a cotton-padded coat, so... he needs one too!
Upon hearing this, Mary blinked, then took out a large down coat suitable for Brooke from her pocket.
Here, take it~
"Thank you~"
Brooke smiled and then put on the cotton coat that fit him well.
Seeing this, Usopp looked at Brook curiously and said, "Brook, don't you have no skin? You shouldn't feel the cold, right?"
"Yohohohoho~"
"That's true, but we're partners after all~" Brook said with a smile, "So I want to have the same warmth as everyone else~"
"Yohohohoho~"
He doesn't actually have skin that can feel temperature, but he really enjoys wearing the same clothes as his companions.
So... he also needs to wear a cotton-padded coat!
Yohohohoho~
Usopp smiled upon hearing this, realizing that's how it is.
Then, as if remembering something, Mary said with a worried expression, "Speaking of which... Nami and the others weren't wearing cotton-padded clothes when they were captured, were they? Are you sure they're okay?"
Will I get frostbite?
Listening to Mary's words, Nicole Robin said, "I just hope they don't lose their hands and feet to frostbite..."
'
Mary: ? ? ?
Usopp: ? ? ?
Mary looked at Nico Robin with a puzzled expression. Was the other person's idea a little too scary?
Usopp then opened his shark-like mouth and said, "Don't say things like that again, Robin!"
This is terrifying!
Nico Robin simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
Looking at Nico Robin's smiling face, west Yan rolled his eyes.
Then he said, "Don't worry, Nami and the others should be fine."
"real?"
Looking at Meili, who was looking up at him, Xiyan smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "The temperature inside that experimental base shouldn't be low, so you'll be fine."
"Right?"
Finally, west Yan glanced at Cha Xuzi, clearly asking him a question.
"Ah, the temperature is indeed quite high..."
Teabeard instinctively replied, then his expression changed and he said, "Damn pirate, you actually tricked me into telling you something."
west Yan rolled his eyes upon hearing this. This guy is stupid himself and he's blaming him?
Then, west Yan muttered to himself: "Hmm, looks like I won't even need the Sharingan to get any information out of this guy."
Fine, since Luffy seems to like this guy, we won't need to use the Sharingan to interrogate him, and we won't have to kill him off.
Then, west Yan began to think about how to get this idiot to talk.
Mary breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then it seems there's nothing to worry about."
"Don't get too excited yet," Usopp said. "If Nami and the others escape, they'll still feel cold."
"They're not stupid either."
Zoro shook his head and said, "If it really comes to that, they'll probably think about stealing a piece of clothing to wear."
O
Although Nami and her friends aren't particularly strong, Sanji is quite powerful!
So it's no problem at all to grab some clothes for everyone.
"Stealing clothes, huh?"
Meili glanced at the man with the tea-colored mustache and cotton coat, then nodded and said, "That's true..."
'
With Sanji and his crew's strength, stealing these guys' clothes shouldn't be a problem.
Teabeard, who had overheard their conversation, said with a grim expression, "They really are barbaric pirates..."
'
"Do you even have the right to say such a thing?"
Zoro glanced at the tea-bearded man and said, "You're a pirate too, aren't you?"
How can someone who is a pirate despises others as barbaric pirates?
"I stopped being a pirate a long time ago."
The tea-bearded man first shook his head, then proudly raised his head and said, "I am now the proud captain of the centaur warrior patrol!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately showed surprise.
Is it really half-human?
"Hahaha, I knew it!" Luffy laughed, patting the man with the tea beard. "There really are centaurs in this world!"
"Hahaha~"
Usopp's lips twitched upon hearing this. There really is one?
Wasn't it supposed to be the product of an experiment?
Xi Yan looked at Luffy speechlessly, wondering what this guy had been listening to before.
This is clearly the product of some kind of experiment.
After shaking his head, west Yan was too lazy to pay any attention to this idiot.
Then, west Yan looked at Brooke and asked, "Brooke, have you found any clues?"
No.
Brooke shook his head and said, "I haven't been inside that building."
If it weren't for that strange upper-body person, he wouldn't have run all the way here.
"Is that so...?"
'
Upon hearing this, west Yan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Then it seems these people really do see you as a skeleton."
As he finished speaking, a hint of emotion appeared on west Yan's face.
In a sense, Brook's appearance is quite suitable for lurking.
After all... people who don't know Brook would never imagine that this skeleton could still move!
"Yohohohoho~"
"It seems so," Brooke said with a smile and a nod.
That's precisely why he had the opportunity to tell west Yan and the others about this place.
Then Brooke asked, "Have you found anything here?"
Yes, there are.
west Yan glanced at the tea-bearded man, then smirked and said, "I interrogated a centaur and got some information out of him."
Upon hearing this, the tea-bearded man's expression immediately changed.
"Impossible!" said the tea-bearded man. "How could a proud centaur warrior betray information?"
"You're not going to lie to me!"
He simply did not believe that his subordinates would betray their master's information.
After all... he was their savior!
"It's no use whether you believe me or not." west Yan, with his arms crossed, said calmly, "Because I have indeed obtained enough intelligence."
"Then tell me, what do you know?" the tea-bearded man asked, frowning.
Clearly, he didn't believe west Yan's words.
"That's all."
west Yan said, "For example, you have a master who treats you very well, or that guy is a scientist, or... there's a Shichibukai here!"
The first and second sentences are true, because he did indeed learn this information from that person.
As for the third sentence... the information was obtained from the lower-body people, so it's not wrong to say that.
Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Tea Beard's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"So you guys knew about this place...?"
Damn it, which bastard betrayed this information?!
Damn it!
Having observed Cha Hu Diao's reaction, west Yan immediately drew a conclusion.
That means... that scientist was indeed their master, and... that Shichibukai is still here!
Thinking of this, west Yan nodded to himself.
Then, he glanced at the tea-spotted eagle and said, "Well, why do you all think that guy who conducted human experiments is a good person?"
"This guy sounds like a wicked person."
"What do you know?!"
Tea-carving knife, upon hearing this, immediately flew into a rage and exclaimed, "If it weren't for my master, I would have been dead long ago!"
How could these people possibly understand the greatness of their master?
"What do you mean?"
Mei looked at the tea-shaped eagle with curiosity. If it weren't for its master, it would have died long ago.
What has this guy been through this time?
"See these legs of mine now?" The tea-headed eagle pointed to its lower crocodile body and said, "If my master hadn't taken pity on me and brought me back, I wouldn't be able to stand up again!"
Upon arriving here, Tea-Eagle's eyes immediately filled with gratitude.
"How did your lower body get open?" Usopp asked curiously.
"This is a long story..."
'
As the tea-faced eagle walked, its expression growing increasingly complex, it said, "You should know a guy named Hawkins, right?"
"Hawkins?"
Luffy thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
He did not recall ever meeting Shkick Hawkins.
Tea-shaped carving: ? ? ?
How could someone from the same evil generation not know Hawkins?
Is this guy playing a trick on him?
"You're that super-newcomer with the title of Magician, aren't you?" Nico Robin said.
She had some understanding of these new insurance policies.
"That's him!"
Having arrived here, Tea-Eagle's eyes gleamed with hatred. He said to Tong Ren, "That Garlic Egg, while fighting us, severed all of our legs..."
'
"At that time, we were all in despair and only wanted to die."
"
"Until we met our master..."
1
As if recalling a certain type of noodle, Cha Hu Diao's expression gradually became excited.
If it weren't for his master, he really wouldn't even have the willpower to survive!
Usopp, who had been observing the tea-shaped eagle's reaction, remarked, "No wonder you guys are so grateful to that guy..."
'
Giving them hope when they are in despair is just like being a savior!
"That's right!"
The tea-carved goose raised its head and spoke.
To him, his master was no different from a god.
That's right, it's God!
It's Kami!!
