HxH in One Piece World - Chapter 170
Chapter 170 Gemini Island
twelve days later.
When the nautical supplies were about to run out, Maud and his party finally saw the outline of the island.
“It’s time to come.”
Maud was tired for a while.
In just thirteen days, they experienced a huge vortex, a hail the size of Bailey, a tornado wrapped in spray and lightning, and many other climate anomalies.
Every time is full of dangers. Fortunately, Laffitte has excellent skills and rich experience. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
This near-miss voyage made Maud realize the importance of a powerful navigator.
“I want to drink.”
Bailey, the old alcoholic, leaned on the bow with strength and breathlessness.
The food on board is still sufficient, but it has been out of alcohol for several days.
“It’s almost there, bear with it.”
Maud glanced at Bailey, who was soft.
Aside, Jaya looked curiously at the outline of the Gemini islands.
Laffitte always pays attention to the wind direction and currents, and even if he is approaching his destination, he does not relax because of it.
As the distance got closer, everyone gradually saw the appearance of the Gemini islands.
As its name suggests, the island consists of two islands with the same area and terrain.
The two islands face each other, the island on the left is in bloom in spring, the island on the right is snow-capped, and the ocean current flows through the channel between them.
In the middle of the river, a giant tree stood in the sky.
Taking a closer look, it was the sturdy roots of the dragon-like trees that were rooted in the rocky ground on the shores of the two islands, which supported the huge tree body hanging above the river.
What is more strange is that this giant tree has been affected by two different climates.
As a result, the left half of the canopy on the left side of Spring Island has grown luxuriantly, while the right half of the right half of Winter Island on the right has only bare branches.
Not only that, a large tunnel-like hole was dug under the tree, making the tree a natural bridge connecting the two islands.
From the perspective of everyone in Maud, they can’t see the bridge hole under the tree.
“What a magical island.”
Jaya’s eyes glowed when he looked at the appearance of Gemini Island.
The distance between the two islands is only about 500 meters, but it is also the junction of spring and winter.
And that big tree caught between spring and winter refreshed Jaya’s cognition.
Not only Jaya, but also Laffitte and Jim have radiance in their eyes.
They were all seeing such an island for the first time.
Maud also found the Gemini islands interesting, especially the big tree that stood between the two islands.
“Is the name of this tree called Yin Yang Tree?”
Maud put forward a very powerful point.
“???”
Everyone looked at Maud silently.
The atmosphere of marveling at the wonders of the Grand Line was instantly ruined in half by such a name.
Maud didn’t pay attention to their gaze, and carefully observed the outline of Gemini Island, and a picture of an organ in the human body suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Do you think the Gemini islands look like two lungs connected to the bronchi?”
“…”
Jaya, Laffitte, and Jim were speechless.
Bailey, who was lying on the bow, turned his head to look at them, and said with a serious expression: “I have seen lungs, and I heard what the boss said…”
“Shut up.”
Jaya looked over.
“Okay!”
Bailey turned back immediately and continued to lie on the bow.
Gemini Island is a rare double island structure.
Since there is Spring Island, where spring flowers are blooming, most people would not choose Winter Island, which is cold and freezing.
Maud and the others are naturally unavoidable, and let the mast boat go towards Spring (Haruko) Island on the left.
On the shore of Haruko Island, there are various natural boat mooring places.
The people who arrived at Haruko Island seemed to park their boats here. At first glance, there were a row of boats with different sizes and appearances parked on the shore.
On the other hand, looking at Right side Island on the other side, you can hardly see any boat along the shore until you can see it.
On the shore of Haruko Island, on a high hillside, there was a group of about fifty people, each carrying a knife and a gun.
“A newcomer is here again.”
Someone grinned grimly, looking at the mast boat as if they were looking at a fat prey.
“Amy, check it out.”
“Okay!”
A short man responded, and took out a thick stack of reward orders from his satchel.
Different from the regular bounty orders, the bounty orders in the hands of men almost have pirate flags painted by hand.
The man named Amy glanced at the pirate flag crossed with swords and guns above the mast ship from a distance, and immediately flipped the reward order in his hand in an attempt to find the corresponding information.
Amy turned quickly.
Comparing the past one by one, there is no reward order corresponding to the pirate flag.
“No.”
After flipping through the pages, Amy looked at the leading man.
“Hey, they don’t even have a bounty, it looks like it’s just a bunch of rookie pirates who have lost their luck.”
The lead man was disappointed when he heard this, but no matter how small the mosquito’s legs were, he looked back at his subordinates.
When he saw that his subordinates were unresponsive, he couldn’t help but say angrily, “You’re all stupid, aren’t you? Are you still not ready to attack?”
A bunch of idiots.
The leading man cursed in his heart, and then looked coldly at the mast ship that was heading for Haruko Island.
For people like them, if they want to live a nourishing life, plundering them directly from others is the quickest shortcut.
Gemini Island is the first island in the Grand Line, and it is also a must for every new pirate group.
This has also spawned many groups that regard the Rookie Pirates as their prey.
These groups are basically divided into the following three types.
1. Pirates go together.
2. Bounty hunters.
3. Traffickers who specifically target pirates.
This group of people on the hillside is the first.
They were once also high-spirited pirates targeting the Grand Line.
However,
the short 15-day voyage from Gemini Points to here was enough to break their courage and make them lose the courage to challenge the second island.
As the situation trended, they stayed on Haruko Island for a long time to satisfy his daily splurge by hunting newcomer pirates.
Seeing that the mast ship was about to sail within range, the leading man smiled grimly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, and the leader was extremely conspicuous with bright red hair.
“Boss, here comes the turkey.”
“Damn turkey, you want to grab my prey again, don’t worry about them, whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it, no one can break this rule.”
The leading man glanced at the group of people who came from a distance, coldly Said: “As soon as the prey is within range, you will shoot immediately.”
“Yes.”
Everyone responded.
Amy stared at the figures on the deck of the mast ship.
After seeing Maud’s appearance clearly, Amy’s pupils shrank sharply, the blood on her face faded like a tide, and in an instant, it was as pale as the snow on the opposite bank.
“Boss, something’s wrong, don’t attack…”
“Bang bang bang…!”
As the mast ship entered the range, the pirates with guns couldn’t wait to pull the trigger.
Intensive gunfire directly interrupted Amy’s half-speaking words.
“It’s over.”
Amy slumped to the ground.
The leader frowned and looked at Amy and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Amy lost his soul and said, “That ship, yes, it’s Bacardi Maud’s ship!!!”
Hearing this familiar name, The leader’s body shook violently several times.
“What, what did you say!?”
Then, the leader was furious, grabbed Amy’s collar with one hand, and shouted with red eyes, “Where are your eyes? Where are your eyes?!!”
Amy’s face was ashen.
He didn’t expect a big pirate worth over 100 million to drive such a broken ship?
The worst part is that the navy didn’t update the name of Maud’s pirate group, let alone the pirate flag that appeared out of thin air.
What about playing people?
The gunshots coming from the side stopped abruptly.
A group of pirates stared at Maud who came swiftly from the air.
“What a unique welcome ceremony.”
Maud descended from the sky and landed on the edge of the hillside, facing a group of stunned and speechless pirates.
not far away.
Turkey and others who were rushing to grab the food suddenly stopped.
“Damn, it’s fortunate that I’m slow.”
Hearing Amy’s words, Turkey couldn’t help but burst out, and immediately turned around and ran.
That is a pirate with a reward of over 100 million.
With their small bodies, wouldn’t they go up and jam people’s teeth?
“Is that boy Bacardi Maud who was offered a reward of 100 million baliey? Damn, he is so young.”
“The guy who dares to attack the royal family during the World Conference must be a ruthless person.”
“The good days of those idiots seem to be coming to an end.”
Turkey scolded her mother with a look of fear on her face.
By the way, when was the last time I saw a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million on Gemini Island?
