Chapter 13

"Didn't I tell you to watch that guy and stop him from doing stupid things?!"

With Sharingan's extraordinary vision, Lott followed closely behind the giant bird, and finally came to the island. When he got ashore, he asked Sauron

"He said he found something to eat, but who knew he would be snatched away by a bird?!"

Putting down the oar in his hand, Zoro replied breathlessly.

Can you blame him? You can't blame him at all!

"...Forget it, find that guy first."

Rotte waved his hand and turned his attention to the small island in front of him.

The last thing he saw was that the giant bird was hit by something and fell on the island. But now, when he looked at it, why was there no one there?

Obviously there was There are houses in front of the port that goes out to sea, but there is no one in sight?

"Zoro, let's go separate ways to find Luffy, and we'll all come back here in an hour whether we find him or not."

The decision was made to split up and Zoro had no objection, so the two of them each chose a direction and entered the town.

After a while——

'Where have all the people in this town gone?…'

Fenlot frowned as he walked on the empty street.

It had been ten minutes since he separated from Sauron, and he still hadn't found a single native of the island.

The few shadow clones that were separated didn't come back with any good news.

However, we can see some clues from some signs. Overturned trash cans on the street, open doors and windows, and chaos inside the house can be seen through the doors and windows…..

Is it an emergency evacuation?…

If this is the case, it means that something unexpected happened on this small island that the townspeople cannot resist, and on this sea, the most likely possibility is pirates.

Lott said something. If it was really a pirate, it would be troublesome. Luffy, that idiot, wouldn't be caught by the pirates, right?…

"Um?"

After walking to the edge of the town, Lot's excellent eyesight allowed him to discover that there was a house on the other side of the river, and he could vaguely see people moving around.

Was it a pirate or a fleeing resident?

Lot took a moment After thinking about it, I finally decided to go and have a look.

———— the other side

"boom!!"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded.

Lot, who was searching for information in a small alley, raised his head, thought for a moment, and rushed over following the sound.

And just halfway, he saw Sauron, and he was even more lucky. Unfortunately, Luffy was also found. He was locked in a cage. Besides these two people, there was also a dog and a girl….

'Why is it her? When he saw the girl's appearance clearly, Lot's expression fluctuated.

What a coincidence

"It seems that you are seriously injured? Are the enemies strong?"

Jumping from the roof to the ground, Lot looked at Sauron and asked. At this time, his condition was not very good, and blood was bleeding from his left abdomen.

"snort! It was just a sneak attack by a villain."

The sudden sound made Zoro subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the knife. After recognizing the sound, he immediately relaxed his body.

"And what about you, Luffy? Why are you in a cage, you idiot?"

After taking a look at Zoro's abdomen, Lot called another clone in his heart to search for medicine, and then turned his attention to Luffy who was locked in a cage.

"She was deceived."

Luffy stretched out his finger without hesitation and pointed to the side of the girl who had been looking very subtle since Lot appeared.

"oh? So let me ask this Miss Nami."

Looking at the bewildered girl in front of him, Lot raised the corners of his mouth and asked:"How should you compensate for your deception of our captain?"

"snort!!"

Nami, who at first thought she just looked similar, heard Lot calling her name and knew that this person was the Lot she knew. She crossed her arms, turned her head away, and replied unceremoniously. Said:"No money!"

"Do you two know each other? Zoro frowned. He noticed something was wrong – Lot immediately called out Nami's name.

"Of course I know Nami, the little cat who specializes in stealing pirates. I met her once when I was fishing at sea. She was covered in wounds and almost died. She was floating on the sea holding a wooden board."

After answering Sauron's question, Lot turned to look at Nami:"It seems that you are still working in this field. Aren't you afraid of dying at sea one day??"

"But not every time there is someone like me who will save you"

"I want you to take care of it! Pirates and I have nothing to say!"

Nami still didn't look at Lot.

The first time she recognized Lot, she was happy, but then she realized from the other person's name to the idiot wearing a straw hat that the former acquaintance had become a pirate.

And for pirates , she is the most annoying.

Not to mention that Lot once told her that he would always live on Green Island and make a living by fishing. If he passes by this island one day, he can come to him, and she In the future, every time I passed by Green Island after finishing my 'work', I would go to the island to look for him, asking for a drink or simply taking a rest.

As a result, not long after the last meeting, it was already a pirate when I met again.

This It gave her a feeling of betrayal.

The initial joy was suddenly replaced by boredom.

"well?"

Nami's righteous cut made Luffy dumbfounded. The navigator he just recruited can't just fly away!

"But didn't you already promise me to become the navigator of our pirate group?"

"I never promised this——"

Nami suddenly thought of something. In the middle of her retort, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she changed her mind and said,"If you kick this guy off the ship, then it's not impossible for me to become your navigator."

Huh, you guy. Want to be a pirate? I won't let you be!

As for navigators and the like, just find an opportunity to escape later.

"no!"

What Nami didn't expect was that Luffy refused without hesitation.

"He is my first partner! I'm not getting him off the boat. As long as he becomes my partner, no matter what happens, I will never abandon him!!"

Nami's words seemed to anger Luffy. He grabbed the cage and said angrily.

"Ah uh…"

Startled by Luffy's sudden change of attitude, Nami took a few steps back.

"Don't worry about this little thieving cat. How can you open your cage?"

Lot stood between the two, interrupting their conversation.

"oh——"

Luffy's expression suddenly calmed down. He pointed to the silent and dirty puppies next to him and said,"The key that can open my cage was eaten by this guy.""

"In this case——"

Lot took out a short knife from his pocket and came to the puppy with a fierce look:"It seems that I can only cut your abdomen open – be careful in the next life and don't eat randomly."

Peng!

Before he finished speaking, Lot was hit on the head.

"Don't say such horrible things with a calm face! We can just find a way to make it spit it out or pull it out!"

"You attacked me, bastard!"

"Who told you to take action against such a cute puppy! really! There's something wrong with your brain when you're a pirate!"

Nami replied unceremoniously.

"Fart, my head is fine!"

"If your brain was healthy, you wouldn't want to be a pirate!"

"you….."

"..."

Well?

Luffy tilted his head, not understanding why the two of them suddenly started yelling at each other.

What's even more strange is that he feels that although the two of them cursed fiercely, they were not really angry.
