RBTC: Chapter 83

They sailed for a while, and they could clearly see the small black dot. It was indeed an island, and it wasn't small either.

Confirming their guess and seeing the island, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

They sped up and quickly headed towards the island. In no time, they were close to the island.

The first thing that caught their eye was a fleet of old pirate ships. These pirate ships looked very dilapidated, patched up everywhere. They gave off a sense of age just by looking at them. Buggy estimated that they might have been built decades ago.

They also saw that the island was densely populated with houses. Some were built of stone, and some were built of wood. The wooden houses looked very old, as if they hadn't been repaired for a long time. There were also people moving around on the island. Occasionally, one or two figures would appear in their line of sight.

They didn't find any ports on the island's coast. Buggy and his crew found a secluded spot, docked the Glory, and then went ashore.

This trip to the island had a clear purpose. They wanted to learn about the situation here from the people on the island. And they wanted to find information and a way out of the fog.

As Buggy and his crew stepped onto the island and walked towards the road leading to the inhabited area, two figures quickly ran towards them.

As they got closer, everyone could see the appearance of the people coming. They were burly, with fierce faces, and they were very fast. They weren't ordinary people at all.

When the two of them reached them, they looked at everyone with strange, gloating expressions.

"Hey, are you pirates? Did you get lost and end up here?"

The newcomers didn't say much. They asked their question without hesitation. They were like law enforcement officers, conducting a routine inquiry.

"Yes, we're pirates. We got lost in the fog and stumbled upon this place."

There was nothing to hide. As outsiders, they had to answer this question. Buggy guessed that they were the island's equivalent of patrol officers.

"Since you've come here, don't have any unrealistic ideas. And don't cause any trouble. Our island has Lord Gote. His strength is beyond your imagination. If you dare to cause trouble, your outcome will definitely not be good."

Hearing the other party say this, Buggy knew that they had come to warn them.

"Friend, what are unrealistic ideas?"

This was a crucial question. Buggy guessed a lot from this question.

Hearing Buggy ask this, the two didn't hide anything. They told Buggy some bad news.

They told Buggy about the origin of the island and the reason why they said those words.

They said that this island was originally an island on the Grand Line. About 100 years ago, for some unknown reason, the entire island was covered in fog. And as time passed, the fog's area of spread grew larger and larger, leading to the situation today. They had lost contact with the outside world.

The reason they said this was because they knew what Buggy and his crew were thinking. They knew that Buggy and his crew would definitely try to find a way out. But over the past hundred years, the pirates who had come here for the same reason as Buggy and his crew had already given them the answer. These pirates left the island to find a way out. Some disappeared without a trace. Some were shipwrecked and died. The luckiest ones returned to this island.

They also told Buggy and his crew that they were the only people to enter here in the last dozen years. They hadn't had any foreign pirates come here for almost a dozen years. They were the unluckiest group in the last dozen years.

The two also told everyone that they would spend the rest of their lives on this lonely island. They also told everyone not to have any unrealistic ideas and told them to settle down. After all, it was better to stay alive than to die in the fog.

Everyone looked solemn after hearing this. They realized the seriousness of the situation.

Based on what the other party said, they learned that even the local islanders had lost hope of leaving because of despair. So, they wouldn't be able to get any information about how to leave the island. And the journey through the fog ahead might be fraught with difficulties.

After telling Buggy and his crew about some things they needed to pay attention to, the two didn't pay any more attention to them. They quickly ran back in the direction they came from.

There were a few things they needed to pay attention to:

1. Don't cause any trouble on the island.

They emphasized this point several times. This proved that they placed great importance on security. And they threatened them again about this issue, warning them that they would be severely punished if they made a mistake. And they mentioned Gote's name again.

2. Don't cut down any trees or plants on the island.

This island was originally a deserted island. And these trees and plants were easily destroyed. If they were destroyed, these trees and plants might not be able to regenerate. To prevent this from happening and to prevent their living environment from becoming increasingly worse, everyone on the island, after discussing it together, decided to prohibit the random cutting down of trees and plants on the island.

3. Don't go to the snowy mountain on the island.

They didn't say anything specific about this. They just warned everyone that it was very dangerous. It was also a forbidden area on the island. They told them not to go there.

They didn't say much else. After explaining all this, the two left.

Although everyone knew about these things and looked very solemn, they didn't stop moving forward. Instead, they continued walking towards the inhabited area of the island.

When they arrived at the inhabited area, the people here looked at them with strange and curious expressions. Buggy and his crew guessed what this meant. After all, no outsiders had come to this island for over a dozen years. They, as outsiders, had come here. These people would definitely be very curious.

"They're the outsiders. They're so young. Sigh, they're so unlucky. They can't get out. Their families must be so worried."

"What's the use of worrying? It's just bad luck that they came here. But it's okay. They're alive. They can live here just like us."

"I heard that pirates in the outside world are prepared to die before they set sail. They just can't get out. It's not bad for them. It's another way for them to stay alive. They won't lose their lives at sea."

"What, what? I heard that they yearn for freedom. If they're trapped here, it's worse than death for them."

"What's so bad about that? Isn't it good to live a peaceful life like us?"

Many villagers were discussing Buggy and his crew's origins and their views on pirates.
