Chapter 20 The stronger the East China Sea, the weaker the East China Sea
When it was almost time for dinner, the previous crew members came again.
"Mr. Swordsman, the captain has prepared a banquet for you. Please move on."
Luke nodded and walked over. He saw the captain who wanted to see him in the captain's cabin. He was a quite young man, about thirty years old, with a wide forehead, thick lips, and three-dimensional facial features. He was not too weird. .
"Mr. Lu Ke, I have long admired your name."
The captain smiled and stretched out his hand, "I am Captain Samp Yanan. Welcome you to board my Samp."
"I haven't even made a name for myself yet, how come you've been admiring me for so long?" Lu Ke shook hands in cooperation and complained casually.
"Don't worry about talking about this. Let me entertain you as a landlord first." Yanan's face remained unchanged and he brought Lu Ke to the dinner table.
The huge dining table was piled with food, including a large plate of golden-colored and shiny steak, a whole roasted suckling pig roasted until crispy, fat chicken and duck with a smooth and oily surface, and various fish dishes. Together, all kinds of unnamed meats, fruits and fine wines.
"So rich? Generally speaking, supplies at sea are relatively scarce." Luke was satisfied and a little surprised. He quickly sat down and then, with a gust of wind, he poured the plates on the dinner table into his mouth.
"Our ship will stop for a day every time it passes an island. While passengers disembark or do errands, we will also purchase supplies for replenishment..."
Yanan explained while filling up a glass of red wine for himself. He was about to fill up a glass of red wine for Luke, but he found that most of the dishes on the dinner table had been eaten, and the rest were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he handed over the wine glass tremblingly, Luke swallowed the last piece of meat, scratched his head, and gave him a shy smile.
"Captain Yanan, did I eat too much?"
"Ah, how could it be? A strong swordsman like you naturally eats more than ordinary people." Yanan suppressed the twitching of the corner of his mouth and asked politely, "Are you full? Do you want some more?"
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Lu Ke's eyes were sincere and he continued: "But I really can't live up to your kindness, so let's have another table. In fact, I just finished eating."
What kind of mess is this!
The last sentence was obviously a hint that he should prepare at least two more tables.
Yanan shouted twice, and a crew member walked in. After the two murmured a few words, the crew member nodded and left. He smiled and said: "The food will be delivered soon, please wait a moment."
He was very sensible and did not make a request before Luke finished eating. Instead, he quietly waited for the watery food to be brought in, and then swallowed into Luke's stomach from another dimension, until Luke emptied the table three times in a row. He burped and stopped eating.
"Phew~ It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable eating." Luke touched his slightly bulging belly from another dimension with satisfaction, and finally got to the point, "Then Captain Yanan, I wonder what you want to see me for?"
"That's right. Before I ask you, I want to confirm something first." Yanan took a deep breath, "I think your destination is the Windmill Village at the next stop, right?"
"That's right." Luke nodded slightly. His route was to go back to Windmill Village to see old acquaintances in the village, take a rest, and then go to Sauron to ask him to return to the gym to report that he was safe. After that, he would enter the Grand Channel and return. To Alabasta.
Then, kill Crocodile!
If he dares to touch his hometown, Lao Sha has a way to kill him. If he knows the current affairs, he can be included in it. If he doesn't obey, he will be chopped into pieces. He will not be allowed to enter the city.
It may be a little risky, but Crocodile is still quite capable. Most of the credit for being defeated by Luffy in the early stage is due to the plot.
Yanan didn't know that the person in front of him was thinking about killing a Shichibukai. After receiving Lu Ke's confirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked again. "Then do you have any plans to go to Rogge Town recently? Or somewhere closer, Cocosia Village, Sea Restaurant Barati and the like."
"It's a coincidence that I also want to go to Rogge Town." Luke glanced at the captain, "If you have something to say, you'd better tell me directly. I don't like to beat around the bush."
After a moment of silence, Yanan whispered: "That's right, the Samp's sailing route moves around various islands in the East China Sea, from the remote windmill village to the town of Rogge, which is closest to the Great Channel."
"Our route has selected several stations where supplies can be purchased, including Frost Moon Island, Gotto Island, Shields Town, Orange Town, Silob Village, Barati and Cocoyasi Village. After arriving at the end, rest for a month and then Go back the way you came.”
The places mentioned by the captain brought back some memories of Luke, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. They were all very familiar place names. This was how Luffy walked there two years later to collect the initial crew.
It's just that Luke can't remember which one corresponds to which story. Orange Town is the village where Nami was ruled by the evil dragon? He remembered that Nami liked oranges and money, and Cocosia Village should be the place where she got the Golden Meili. After all, Keya also had the last name Ke.
Which town is Sauron in? It should be the naval base ruled by Mengka, but the sites above didn't mention it!
Hiss~ No, my brain is going to explode. I'd better go back and ask other Lukes if they still remember the details.
"Mr. Luke, Mr. Luke?"
The captain's voice pulled Luke back from the vortex of memory. He blinked, "I'm listening, you tell me."
Yanan licked his lips and looked a little nervous, "During the last few voyages, our ship encountered a fleet of terrifying pirates. If we hadn't escaped in time, I might not have been able to return."
"So, I hope that the next time you go to Rogge Town, you will also take our ship and temporarily serve as the escort of the Thumper during the boarding period. I am willing to pay a reward of 200,000 berries per day, including food and accommodation!"
The last three words made Luke, who was about to refuse, slightly change his mind. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If there is no conflict in time, yes, but who is the big pirate in your mouth?"
What kind of scary big pirate can there be in the East China Sea? There are two or three big cats and kittens jumping around. Who else can be called the scary big pirate, Bucky the Clown?
Here we need to talk about the geographical situation of One Piece.
There is only one continent in the world of One Piece, called the Red Continent. The Red Continent and the great waterway almost perpendicular to it divide the ocean into four sea areas: east, west, north and south.
The East China Sea is the weakest sea, and it can also be said to be the strongest sea.
It is said to be the weakest because its overall strength is now at the bottom of the world. From a God's perspective, this is a novice village prepared by the author Oda, the old thief, for the protagonist, so it should not be too strong, lest Luffy get hit before he enters the Grand Channel. The road collapses.
From a practical point of view, it is probably because there are two powerful navies, Garp and Smoker, one big and one small. The two of them killed all the capable pirates in the bud. The only exception is that they have strong backgrounds and have people above them. Luffy.
The East China Sea is said to be the strongest because all the shocking strong men came out of this sea area, such as Pirate King Gol D. Roger, Pluto Rayleigh, Navy Hero Garp, Revolutionary Dragon, Fire Fist Ai Sri Lanka.
There will still be Straw Hats in the future. It can be said that they are stronger in the past and stronger in the future, but weaker in the present. They have the beauty of altering their own laws.
There was a look of fear on Yanan's face, and his body couldn't stop shaking. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was worried that Luke would reject his employment after hearing this, but in the end, considering that he might be rejected if he concealed it, he still gave the big pirate's name. Say it.
"He is the overlord of the East China Sea. He has thirty fleets under his command, more than 3,000 subordinates, and a great pirate with a bounty of 14 million berries."
"Admiral Crick!"
