Chapter 97: Retracing the path they took

On the Grand Line.

A luxury cruise ship is sailing slowly.

On the ship, there was delicious food and wine, melodious singing, and a group of well-dressed men and women drinking and dancing on the deck.

Smoker lay comfortably on the sofa, taking a sip from the wine next to him from time to time.

[This is life...]

a month ago.

The G12 branch defeated the Jet Pirates with less than a quarter of their strength.

This kind of achievement is nothing in the New World, but it is enough to shock people in the paradise, and it really makes the navy branch blush.

In the current Shampoo Islands, even without Smoker in charge,

Without three or four powerful supernovas joining forces, there would be no chance of making waves.

Smoker reviewed the Jet Pirates' information and interrogated it himself.

I found that although they were a pirate group, they were more like a mobile research institute.

The bulk of the income is actually from selling weapons...

Although there are a lot of money grabs, I have never done anything like slaughtering villages and destroying cities.

It can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the pirate world.

Smoker picked it out and threw the life-stained thing in his hand to Zeon.

The rest were all locked up, and they were ready to collect them.

Especially Garin Gang, with his civilian qualifications, he was able to produce so many high-quality weapons, some of which were no less than those of the firearms research institute under his own guidance.

It is simply a crime for such a talent to fall at sea!

Garin Gang stayed in prison, still writing calculations with pen and paper every day, without any consciousness of being behind bars.

When Smoker saw this, he was asked to come out and treat him to a delicious meal.

After a few bottles of strong liquor, I found out his details.

It turns out that this guy was originally a researcher on the machine island.

Because he was dissatisfied with the island owner Ratchet's daily research on "conquering the world" and "the golden crown", he took his men to sea.

He has no interest in treasures or rule, he just likes to do research.

The reason why there is such a high bounty is because several non-Allied countries purchased his weapons and defeated the Allies, so he became a supernova inexplicably.

So Smoker packed up his entire team and went to the Gun Institute.

This kind of talent must not be wasted...

A few days later, the appointment of the headquarters came down.

Esther and Vip became deputy base commanders.

After Smoker made the handover, he was completely liberated.

He took a half-year vacation and planned to walk from Upside Down Mountain to the Shampoo Islands again.

Of the seven routes, he chose the one that Luffy took.

Prepare to take advantage of the prophecy of the time traveler and gather the wool first.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The phone bug rang in Smoker's pocket.

After opening it, there is an image of a messy old man with messy hair and beard: "Hey, hey, Smog-kun..."

"Dr. Aubrey, long time no see. What's the matter? I'm on vacation!"

"You're still hiding this from me, bastard!"

"That guy Gat Gang said that you will help him develop a high-performance precious alloy. Do you know the significance of this invention?! I also want to participate!!"

Smoker certainly knows that materials science is the most important basic subject.

"I just have a way, but I still lack a key prop. That's why I came out this time..."

Smoker was talking about Tunton Fruit and Wabol Alloy.

This thing is too accidental.

Wapol is the king of the franchising country, and it is not easy to attack him.

Moreover, the Wabol Alloy was originally obtained by chance, and even with the Tuntun Fruit, he might not be able to replicate it.

Dr. Aubrey: "Anyway, don't forget this, otherwise I will pester you every day!!"

"Ah, okay, okay... Now that I know Doctor, just let me take a good vacation..."

Putting the phone down, Smoker sighed helplessly.

These fanatical scientists are really hard to deal with...

Suddenly, the ship's announcement sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ahead is Prickly Pear Island."

"This is an uninhabited island with unique scenery and very safe. You can get off the boat to visit later, and we will also prepare a barbecue dinner!!"

Smoker walked to the side of the boat.

An island appears in sight,

A wide river divides the island into two halves. The island is covered with huge cacti, no smaller than the mountains next to it.

When the boat approached, everyone was surprised to find that

There is actually a house on the island and a newly built pier by the river.

Dozens of men, women and children were at the riverside pier, holding banners, waving flags, shouting and dancing happily...

Smoker looked at the crew members next to him. They were also confused.

The cruise ship did not dare to approach and put down the boat to inquire about the situation.

Several crew members chatted with each other for a while and then hurried back.

At this time, the radio sounded again.

"Dear guests, we are very sorry, this island is not an uninhabited island!"

"Now a new group of residents have arrived on the island and a small town called Whiskey Hill has been established."

"The townspeople are very enthusiastic and invite everyone to come over to enjoy wine, singing and dancing!"

There was a cheer on the boat.

Although tourists have no worries about food and clothing, it is still a bit boring. When they heard that there is such a warm and interesting town, they are all excited.

Then, the cruise ship restarted and slowly approached the dock.

The islanders brought flowers and wine, and sang and danced with sincere smiles.

The burly mayor was at the front, greeting everyone with a smile.

Smoker stared at the townspeople.

[...Has this tradition started so long ago? ! ]

But he didn't show much of anything and got off the boat together with the crowd.

As soon as he got off the boat, a fat woman with a kind face put a bunch of flowers on Smoker's hand.

"Oh hehe...handsome young man, welcome to Whiskey Mountain!"

Smoker took the flowers with a smile.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. When did you build such a town?!"

I checked the information before and found that this island is indeed an uninhabited island.

Judging from the appearance of the crew on the cruise ship, they didn't know anyone was on the island.

"We came here by chance two months ago! We found the environment here is very good, so we settled here!!"

Smoker looked at the surrounding houses. They were indeed very new.

"Two months ago? That's it..."

Traffic on the Grand Route is inconvenient, so it is normal for a route to take several months.

Cruise ships could be forgiven for not knowing the changes here.

As for whether Smoker believes it or not, only God knows...

The fat woman continued to talk.

"This island is located on a traffic artery, so we need to make a name for ourselves to attract more ships!"

"Young man, enjoy it! You will help us promote it later!"

"Ah, don't worry, I'll take care of it. I know the reporter. It's such a beautiful and welcoming town. If you don't come, it will be a loss!"

"Oh hehe~~~thank you so much!!"

Smoker follows the group into the town.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

A small town where hundreds of people live, with all kinds of hotels, bars, shopping malls... all available.

The islanders were also full of enthusiasm and tried their best to entertain everyone.

At night, a grand banquet was held on the island.

Passengers, crew members and residents gathered together, drank, sang and danced, and the entire Whiskey Mountain became a sea of ​​joy.

Smoker also drank glass after glass of wine under the persuasion of several beauties.

Soon, everyone was very drunk and lying on the ground sleeping soundly.

In the middle of the night, the night owl screams in the distance,

The townspeople who were also sleeping soundly suddenly opened their eyes.

It reflects the faint cold light under the moonlight.
