Chapter 153 The Arrival of an Unexpected Guest
The dog's eyes suddenly changed, and he jumped up, like a giant python, raising his body high.
This scene scared Usopp and Sanji. Luffy was carefree, and he was the one who gave the order to the dog.
So Luffy naturally took the credit for himself, so Luffy didn't feel scared. Ray didn't feel anything like this because he was too strong.
After a brief surprise, Usopp took off the binoculars on his hat, put them on his eyes, and then looked into the distance and said:
"There are houses in front, there are people here."
When Luffy heard that there were people living here, he immediately said:
"Market, market, you can buy food"
After hearing this, Ray was speechless. It seems that Luffy is either fighting or eating. I don't know why Luffy has such a big appetite.
After shaking his head secretly in his heart, Rei said to the three people:
"Then let's go and have a look."
After that, Luffy rushed forward impatiently, and Rei and the other two followed behind.
The house was not far away, and the four people arrived quickly. What caught their eyes was only a house that looked like a yurt.
There was no market that Luffy had been thinking about, only this lonely house. Luffy didn't care if there was anyone in the house, and he pushed the door open directly.
Usopp was going to stop him, but he couldn't pull Luffy's brute force, so he let Luffy in, and Rei followed him in curiously.
Although this was impolite, since Luffy had already opened the door, he had to face the owner of the house.
But to their surprise, there was no one in the room. At this time, Chopper shouted outside the room:
"Come and see, there is a giraffe here."
When everyone heard that there was a strange creature, since there was no one in the room, there was no need for politeness, so Rei, Luffy, and Usopp all ran out.
Under the sunlight, Luffy and others could not see clearly what this creature with a long neck was. When the light caused by the sunlight to the eyes disappeared, the three people saw that it was a horse.
Chopper is also an animal, so he can understand what the horse said. Chopper translated:
"She said she has been here for ten years, and she also said she is a girl."
Rei stepped forward and looked at the saddle on the horse, and then said:
"It seems that this horse has an owner, but she doesn't know where her owner is."
"She said she doesn't know where her owner is, and she is waiting for her owner to come back here."
Luffy and Usopp saw two bamboos here. The bamboos are very high. They looked up and looked up along the bamboos, but they couldn't see the top of the bamboos.
Usopp suddenly pointed at the bamboos in panic and said:
"Look, these two bamboos are moving!"
Luffy was not afraid when he saw this. Luffy, who was very competitive, kicked them directly without thinking.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the bamboo broke. Then something fell down, raising a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, an old man wearing a felt hat was seen lying on Luffy's back. Luffy and the old man both got up from the ground.
Luffy looked at the old man who fell on him, and then said in surprise:
"Wow, there is an old man in the bamboo!"
The old man felt pain, flicked the dust off his body, and then said:
"What bamboo monster, I fell from the sky, these two bamboos are my stilts, and I have to thank you, I am afraid of heights, and I can't get down from these stilts.
I have been on these stilts for ten years, and the bamboo is still growing during this period. Fortunately, there are many very tall fruit trees on the island, and I rely on these fruit trees to fill my stomach."
A cheerful horse neigh broke the silence. When the old man heard it, he said excitedly:
"Shirley, is that you, Shirley, I thought you left with the people in the village, but I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here."
After Shirley confirmed that it was her master, she quickly ran to the old man.
The old man hugged Shirley's head, as if he had seen his long-lost relatives. Chopper was moved to tears by this scene, such a sincere emotion.
Luffy asked, "Grandpa, where are your family members? Why are you the only one here, and have been on stilts for ten years?"
The old man sighed, and then said leisurely:
"We are on the Long Chain Island. The tide of the Long Chain Island recedes every three years. We who live on the Long Chain Island have relied on nomadic living for generations.
Every time the tide recedes, the original appearance of the Long Chain Island will be revealed, and the ten islands will be connected together, and then we will use this time to migrate to the next island.
It has been ten years now, and I have to wait here for twenty years before I can see the people in the village."
Usopp said:
"You can go by boat, isn't it much faster?"
The old man sighed, touched Xueli's head and continued:
"Hey, it's not that simple. Even the most accurate compass can't guide us to the next island of the Long Chain Island, because the ten islands are originally one island."
Everyone felt sorry after hearing this. It has been ten years. The old man can't help but ride on Xueli's back, gallop on this grassland, and then find the feeling of the past.
Ray, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper stood in front of the old man's house, feeling deeply moved when they saw the old man's happy face.
But it didn't take long before the good news came. A gunshot was heard, and then Xueli fell to the ground. Xueli's four extremely long legs were entangled in the net. Xueli struggled with all her strength to no avail.
The old man also fell directly to the ground. As the only doctor on the Golden Melly, Chopper knew that someone was injured now, and as a doctor, he needed to save people now.
Then Chopper quickly walked up to the old man with his lower legs, gently lifted the old man up, and then Chopper checked the old man's body.
Luffy, Rey and others also ran over, but Sherry couldn't untie the webs wrapped around her four legs.
Through his telescope, Usopp spotted three people appearing in the distance, and then thinking of the gunfire just now, Usopp said to Rey and Luffy:
"There's someone in front of me, and he's probably not a good person."
After hearing this, Rey wanted to step forward and take a look. However, just when Rey was about to start, the system's mechanical sound suddenly sounded in Rey's mind:
"Ding, a new plot has been detected ahead. The host is now provided with the following tasks. Please choose and complete them."
"Task 1: Keep only the host's domineering power and swordsmanship, and complete the next plot. After completion, the host will gain 100 potential points."
