CHAPTER 51: Whisky Peak

Huh?

Why?

Vivi stared at Luffy, knowing she had just stolen something precious from them.

Could it be that he is unexpectedly a good person?

Knowing that Crocodile is a Shichibukai, he still wants to help her and her kingdom face such a powerful enemy.

Sad, confused, intrigued.

In an instant, Vivi experienced a variety of complex emotions, her mind was in chaos.

Suddenly.

"Atchim!"

She sneezed.

How cold!

"So cold!" Nami also felt the cold, her gaze turned to the window, her mouth wide open in astonishment.

Outside the window, a thick fog appeared at some point.

Fog was coming in through the door and the temperature inside the cabin dropped quickly, reaching close to the freezing point.

"What is happening?" Nami suddenly stood up, leaned against the window and exclaimed in shock: "It was daytime now, the sun..."

The sun was gone, obscured by dense fog.

On the Going Merry, following Sunny, Sanji and the others also noticed that something was wrong.

Standing on the deck, it was difficult to see the Sunny, which was more than ten meters away.

"Luffy!" Sanji shouted.

Usopp panicked and said, "No, it's getting harder and harder to see, we might lose sight of it! The Log Pose... the Log Pose is in Luffy's hands!"

"Leave it to me, I won't lose!"

At a critical moment, Bartolomeo stepped forward. He activated his fruit's ability and built a bridge made of barrier between the bows of the two ships.

"Keep an eye on that prisoner. I'll take a look at Luffy's side."

Zoro immediately jumped onto the barrier bridge.

When he reached the deck, Luffy, Nami and the others had already left the cabin.

Vivi was also untied and said hurriedly:

"You've just arrived at the Grand Line, maybe you don't know it yet, the weather here is crazy, one moment it's noon, the next it can be pitch black!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden noise.

Hail began to fall from the sky, as if someone was dumping a bowl full of crushed ice over their heads.

It was as if God was shooting them from the sky.

"There!" Nami was hit and immediately screamed in pain.

"Everyone, enter the cabin."

Luffy handed the Log Pose to Nami, "Here, the only thing we can trust is this."

"Log Pose!" Vivi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's pointing at... Whiskey Peak!"

Vivi's body shook.

"Zoro, you're here at the right time, protect the ship, who knows what might fall from the sky?"

As captain, Luffy quickly began to organize himself.

Suddenly everyone was busy.

Facing the Grand Line's unpredictable weather changes for the first time, everyone was inexperienced and, inevitably, a little nervous.

It started with dense fog, followed by hail, and the temperature dropped sharply, as if we were in the depths of winter.

After persisting for half an hour, they broke through the dense fog and found volcanic ash falling from the sky, not knowing where it came from. It was a dark mass, and if they hadn't known better they would have thought it was a dark cloud.

After that, heavy rain fell.

Throughout the day, everyone on the ship was busy dealing with various unexpected situations.

Fortunately, everyone's strength was not weak, and they finally managed to pass through without any major incidents.

The following day, the sea temperature remained below freezing.

As the ship gradually approached its destination, it gradually warmed up.

"Luffy, I can see the island!"

Nami, wearing a thick coat, wore Log Pose on her left wrist. She looked at the island gradually appearing in the distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seriously, compared to the weather in East Blue, my navigation experience is completely useless here!" She couldn't help but sigh.

The island that appeared in his field of vision was very peculiar.

A river ran through the center, dividing the island into two parts.

On both sides of the island there were huge cacti, or rather mountains that looked like cacti!

They stretched from the foot of the mountain to the coast, forming a small city inhabited by humans.

[You sailed in Paradise for a day]

[The host has been rewarded with 100 Adventure Coins.]

[You have arrived at a new island, Whiskey Peak]

[The host has been rewarded with 1000 Adventure Coins.]

Luffy looked at the system prompt, secretly surprised.

Ten times!

In fact, it is ten times bigger than East Blue!

His brain calculated quickly.

If he continued sailing at normal speed, he would reach the end of Paradise, the last island in the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago.

It would take about three months, and the adventure coin rewards for sailing the sea alone would be around ten thousand!

(What if it's in the New World?) Luffy couldn't help but think.

(Would it increase tenfold?!)

Financial freedom!

From now on, he could buy whatever he wanted.

What? Not satisfied with daily loot? Just use adventure coins to upgrade the store!

First, arm yourself, max out your Haki, and equip all crew members with Rokushiki.

As he thought about this, the two ships entered the Cactus Island river one after the other.

There were people everywhere, each with an enthusiastic smile, waving and greeting Luffy and the others.

"Hey, pirates!"

"Welcome to Whiskey Peak!"

"Welcome to the city of pirates!"

Applause and congratulations continued to arrive.

On Merry, on deck.

Usopp looked around, confused, "What's going on? They're actually getting pirates."

Mr. 9, who had been left in the warehouse, sneered. He also heard the applause and cursed the fools in his heart.

At Sunny.

Vivi covered her mouth and immediately sold these people.

"This is the meeting place for bounty hunters, specifically... Specifically for hunting down new rookie pirates who have just entered the Grand Line." She whispered.

Her tone was quite embarrassing, after all, she was one of them.

"At the same time, this is also a base of baroque works!"

Nami's mouth curved slightly, her tone becoming playful, "I see, so it's like this. Coming here without knowing anything, you'll definitely fall into their trap, right, Luffy?"

Luffy woke up from his thoughts at the sudden increase in adventure coin rewards.

"Let's dock."

The ships slowly docked at the port and everyone disembarked one after another.

Except for Mr. 9, who had been completely forgotten.

The people here welcomed them warmly and cheered them enthusiastically.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations! You guys are amazing for braving this treacherous sea!"

They were so popular that even Usopp, who knew they were bounty hunters, was a little elated.

At this moment, a tall man with wavy golden hair walked out from the crowd.

"Welcome...cough cough~ Mah-Mah-Maaah~, welcome to pirate city. I'm the mayor here."

He cleared his throat before speaking, as he had a serious speech impediment.

His behavior was more like that of a reclusive nobleman trying to imitate the customs of the high nobility, completely different from the common people around him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Vivi took a step forward.

"See...cough cough, welcome Miss Wednesday, were you the one who led this group of brave sea heroes here? Well done!"

He smiled as always.

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others burst into laughter, and their laughter gradually became unrestrained.

Vivi covered her face, no, please stop, it's too embarrassing! Mr. Igaram, they all know now!

Luffy walked to the front and patted Igaram on the shoulder.

"Bring the delicious food quickly, Captain of the Guard. The welcome must be done properly."

Captain of the Guard!?

Igaram was struck by lightning, he was frozen in place like a statue, completely dumbfounded.
