Chapter 5 _ Giant's Garden

Late at night, the advancing ship of Roger's gang. Bit got up from the hammock and looked at Rayleigh and Van Picka, who were still asleep, as well as his new companion, Schalke, the murloc huddled in a ball even when he was asleep, and Roger's empty bed. He jumped out of bed gently and walked out.

This group of bounty hunters stationed on Whiskey Island doesn't have a good boat. Although it can sleep five or six people, it seems extremely crowded.

Coincidentally, it was Roger's turn to be on duty tonight. He steered the boat in the direction of the recording needle at night. As expected of an artist who is bold!

　　" What's the matter, Bit? " Roger asked when he sensed someone.

　　" It's okay, I usually don't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk. But you really dare to sail at night. " Bit walked out of the cabin and climbed to the deck to exercise his body. At the same time casually chatting with Roger. " It's time for us to prepare some training equipment. "

　　" Yeah, now that there's a big ship, it's time to prepare things that haven't been prepared before. For example, the kitchen and dining room. " It's really unbearable to have three meals a day like this.

After Roger finished speaking, the bow fell into silence for a while. Beat was sitting quietly and doing push-ups, his big black knife still on his back. Roger also quietly took the helm. In the end, it was Roger who took the lead.

He drove the boat with his back to Bit and asked, " Bit, do you have anything to ask me when you come out at night? "

Bit chuckled, and now this training intensity has little effect on Bit. " I said it at Whiskey Peak, Roger, you're the captain and I respect your choice. "

Although Bit gave his answer, Roger still explained to himself: " I can always hear some strange sounds, which is why I can sail without a compass. At that time, I heard his unwillingness in his heart. And a cry of despair. So I decided to accept him and help him. Maybe he'd be a good companion too. "

　　" In other words, he can still be rescued. " Bit's voice was lighter than before.

　　" His heart is full of despair and darkness, but there is still such a trace of unwillingness to fate. He is a victim of this dark world! " Roger's words contained such a sympathetic feeling, and Bit also learned from it. A trace of remorse could be heard.

　　' Why is there a trace of remorse in Roger's voice? Could the darkness of this world have something to do with the mysterious D family? ' Bit had some guesswork in his mind. But he buried all these speculations in his heart.

　　" Trust your judgment, Captain, " Bit said to Roger.

Roger smiled and said nothing, just drove the boat quietly. Bit didn't say anything else, and exercised quietly on the side.

　　...

one day later.

A dog-headed warship came to Whiskey Peak, and Karp came. He came after Roger's group.

The island is so peaceful, there is no sound at all. " Looks like the bounty hunters have new prey! " said one of Garp's soldiers. Anyone who has a little channel knows that there is an island on the first line of the great route that is specially designed to harm newbie pirates.

Karp, however, was getting more serious. Because in his perception, only their navy was on the island. " Are these bounty hunters making such great progress? " Garp thought to himself.

　　" Report! All the bounty hunters on the island are dead! Including Fox, who once caught a bounty of 30 million pirates! " At this time, the navy who searched the banquet venue came to report.

Karp snorted coldly and walked to the banquet hall.

　　" There are three kinds of wounds, and it seems that they have at least one more powerful sniper. With such a short distance, why do you have to fire quickly. " Karp briefly checked the wounds on the people on the field.

　　" Back to headquarters, Gol D. Roger , with a bounty of fifty million for the slaughter of the five hundred townspeople at Whiskey Peak. " Karp said, throwing off his coat, and walking back to the boat. " Keep on chasing. "

Then a soldier came running with a phone bug. " Lord Lieutenant General, the Marshal is looking for you. "

　　" Hey, Marshal, what's wrong? " Garp asked carelessly as he snatched the phone from the soldier's hand.

　　"I heard that you have returned to the great route? " Cyborg Sky 's voice came from the phone bug.

　　" Yeah, didn't I contact the headquarters before I came, and I'm only now at Whiskey Mountain. What's wrong? " Karp pinched his nostrils with his other hand, his face full of impatience . Where's the rookie pirate? "

　　" Stop chasing, come back. " Cyborg Sora 's voice came out again, with seriousness in it. "The golden lion has returned to the great route from the new world. Come back quickly! "

　　" Golden Lion? What is he doing on the Great Route? " Garp also became serious. After all, the Golden Lion is a great pirate who has gained a great name in recent years! And his fruit ability is too great for his power!

　　" It's because I don't know that I'm letting you back. Be prepared. " The phone bug in Garp's hand completely showed Cyborg Sora's troubled expression. This Garp under his command is good at everything, but he likes to play tricks too much.

　　" Cut, Marshal, if the pirates I'm chasing really let them go, there will be big problems in the future! " Garp really didn't want to give up the opportunity to destroy Roger's group when they were weak. He had never seen someone so determined to turn the world upside down.

　　" Okay, Karp. How many times have you said this? Just follow a pirate group and say that they are very strong. As a result, the garrison of the branch was clearly waiting, and it was easily wiped out. You have lost all the face of the Navy Headquarters! " The steel skeleton is a little too iron.

　　" Even if it's a nonsense, it will take time! The golden lion is flying back to the route of the great god! Immediately move forward at full speed and rush back to the naval headquarters! " Cyborg ? Kong roared again. This time he hung up without even waiting for Karp to reply.

Karp looked at the phone bug with his eyes closed tightly in his hands, his face full of helplessness. In the end, he issued an order to return to the naval headquarters.

　　" I really shouldn't have used this kind of excuse to go out and play. " He vaguely regretted what happened when he was young. " After solving the golden lions, go catch them immediately, that's all! " Karp secretly made up his mind to solve the problems of Roger's group as soon as possible.

At the same time, Roger's gang painted their pirate flag on the boat - a skull with two curly beards. Although they all knew that the ship wouldn't take much time, the pirate flag was still a must. That is a symbol of the will of a pirate!

Time flies. It has been three days since the shark fishman Schalke boarded the ship. These three days Roger and his gang gave him a feeling he had never had before.

He had felt the humiliation of being a slave from the Heavenly Dragons, and after escaping from the Heavenly Dragons, he had also felt the lofty care of the good people for him as a fugitive slave and the cruelty of the wicked to him. They want to catch him and give him to the Dragons in exchange for money!

However, although he had only stayed with this group of people for three days, he had already fallen in love with this atmosphere, and the people on the boat regarded him as a companion. There is neither particular distaste nor particular concern. As if he were their companion, all the chores on the ship were done by division of labor. Except for Roger.

Roger didn't have to work not because he was the captain, but because he still needed to be at the helm. At the same time, the bit does not participate in the time allocation of the night watch. Because he spent almost every night outside with the night watchman. He exercises his physique at night.

　　" We're almost there, the island ahead is a little strange. Be careful, " said Fan Pica, who was standing on a simple lookout platform that was randomly assembled at the top of the mast without any shelter . He had " see " what was ahead.

　　" That island is called Little Garden. It is an island that retains the landforms and biomes of the ancient times. " Schalke said timidly while lying on the side of the ship. In just three days, he has changed a lot. " The fish in the water told me. "

　　" It's really reliable, Schalke. " Roger, who was at the helm, said happily. " Looks like we can have an interesting adventure. "

Rayleigh pushed his glasses, he was thinking. " Since there are many creatures from the ancient times on the island, why is it called a small garden? The creatures of the ancient times are not simple. "

After communicating with the fish in the water again, Schalke said: " Because there are two giants on the island, in their eyes, this island is a small garden. "

Reilly nodded and said nothing.

Roger was even more excited when he heard about the giants. " Ahahahaha! That's so funny! It's giants! I'm going to pull them into my boat! "

　　" Our boat can't carry a giant, Roger. " Bit stood up and stretched, and said to Roger at the same time.

　　" Ah, so ..." Roger looked disappointed. " Then how about we make a ship that can be loaded down here? " Then he excitedly proposed a completely unfeasible plan.

　　" Of course. " Reilly said with a smile on his face. " But none of us can build ships, so this honorable task is left to you! "

　　" I don't know how to build ships either ..." Roger had a face full of loss.

But soon he was no longer lost. Because the ship has docked. " Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! " Roger resisted the net bag that was pulled out from nowhere, and plunged into the jungle when the four of them didn't respond. The four of them looked at each other in dismay.

With a sigh, Rayleigh went aft and threw the anchor into the water. " Let's go, the captain has gone on an adventure, let's go find that idiot captain. " After saying that, he jumped out of the boat first.

　　"I really don't know why I got on this idiot's boat in the first place. " Bit said and jumped off the boat. After that, Van Pika also jumped down . Schalke was still standing still on the boat.

After the three walked a few steps, they realized that Schalke had not jumped down. " Hey, Schalke! What are you dawdling about? Come down quickly! " Rayleigh greeted.

　　" Ah? Can I go on an adventure together? " Schalke looked a little surprised. Although they treated him like their companions on the boat, he was still a little timid in his heart. The three of them didn't agree with him on the boat a few days ago.

　　" Don't waste time, come down quickly. Otherwise, you'll never be able to keep up with that idiot captain! " Bit also greeted.

At this time, Schalke no longer had any burden in his heart and jumped out of the boat directly. Followed by the three. There was a big smile on his face. " Okay! I'm here! "
