Chapter 819: The one stranded in the small garden is...
After entering the Grand Line, there are a total of seven routes to take. Little Garden is just a small island in one of the routes. Compared with famous islands and countries such as Alabasta and Drum Island, it is really inconspicuous.
Coupled with the harsh environment similar to the tropical rainforest climate, powerful creatures from ancient times, volcanoes that may erupt at any time, two giant warriors who fight here all year round, and the strict requirement that it takes a whole year for the recording pointer to store the magnetic field, few pirates will go to this island.
Under normal circumstances, it was unprecedented for a wave of pirates to come here in a month. However, during this period of time, two groups of pirates came in a row within just one week. How could Dong Li not be surprised?
Moreover, these people in front of him were obviously stronger than the three who had come before, and looked more like pirates.
Hearing the voice, the two uncles also looked over. Then, when they saw Kira and others appear, their eyes lit up at the same time: "Kira?! Erza?! Gray?! You finally found us??!"
The two people in front of him were none other than the oldest, most experienced, heaviest smokers and most screen-starved extras in the guild - Makao and Wakaba.
"Uh... why are it you?" When Kira saw these two people, a look of deep disappointment immediately appeared on his face.
Kira was speechless at this moment: he was obviously the protagonist and now the captain. Logically speaking, on the way to find his companions again, even if he didn't meet beauties like Mira, Lisanna, Cana, Levy, and Bisca, he should at least meet stronger guys like Laxus and Gajeel!
How could it be like this now, encountering Makao and Wakaba, two middle-aged lecherous uncles with no strength, bad looks, no comedic talent, and who are purely used as background boards for the guild's chat?
Not to mention Kira, the others were also disappointed, feeling like they had taken an adventure to finally find an empty treasure chest, and they all complained aloud: "Why do you two always appear in pairs...??"
These sudden words made Makao and Wakaba stunned: "Ah?! This... this... maybe it's because we have a better relationship..."
"Impossible! No matter how good your relationship is, can you still be together after being transferred to another world?"
Kira rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly, "It must be the author's bad taste !"
"Are they your friends?" Dongli lowered his head and asked Makao, who was not even as big as his toes.
"Yes! We are mates in a guild!"
Maybe because he had become familiar with the other party in the past two days, at this moment, Macao was not like Gray and others, who were fearful when facing the giant. Instead, he seemed casual and relaxed, as if he was exchanging his life insights with an uncle of the same age.
"Is that the magic guild you mentioned before? It's called Fairy or something..."
"It's 'Fairy Tail'! We are the wizards of 'Fairy Tail'!" Wakaba proudly introduced the name of the guild to Dongli again, and at the same time waved to Kira and others, motioning them to come forward.
Several people were stunned and looked at Kira, as if waiting for him to express his opinion.
"Let's go!" Kira didn't say much, but just led Erza and others up.
Eric listened carefully and didn't hear anything harmful from Dongli's mind. Knowing that the other party had no ill intentions, he followed him immediately, leaving Gray alone to push the cart.
These guys just abandoned me like that??!
Looking at the backs of several people following Kira forward, Gray's face turned ashen.
Since getting off the airship, he has to fight monsters, build cars, and push carts. On the other hand, Natsu can let himself go without restraint, running around in this kind of place, with Happy and Lucy cheering him on and cleaning up his mess behind him. This is really unfair to him!
Boom! !
The wine barrel fell to the ground with a dull sound.
At this time, in the open space mountain, next to the corpse, Kira and others sat together, cooking the wild boar they had just caught. With the help of seasonings, this wild boar weighing several hundred pounds was emitting an amazing aroma. At the same time, they drank wheat wine and chatted about the wonderful stories of this world.
"Giant Island, Elbaf? The name of your hometown is similar to the name of one of our friends!"
“Really? GEGAGAGAGAGA!!!”
This person's laughter is so weird... No! I should say that the laughter of people in the entire pirate world is weird!
Hearing the strange laughter coming out of Dongli's mouth, Kira and the others all looked strange, but thinking that it might be the unique culture of this world, they did not investigate further.
Kira and others had wine and meat, and Dongli had stories. After a few rounds, the group of people became one, and Dongli made no secret of the fact that he and Broki had been fighting here for 100 years, but had long forgotten the reason for the fight, and shared these things openly.
"Hey~ So it seems like you two have a really good relationship! We have two people here who are just like you, quarreling and making noises every day!" Kira looked at Gray beside him and said meaningfully.
The others immediately understood what he meant and laughed out loud, "You mean Natsu and Gray? Yeah... they do look alike!"
Gray was embarrassed and annoyed, and he denied loudly with a red face: "Come on, how are they similar?! Every time we quarrel, we have reasons, okay?? What's the point of quarreling like this when we have long forgotten the reason?"
Hearing others comment on his battle like this, Dong Li was not angry. He just laughed again: "Elbaf's warriors attach great importance to the honor of duels. It's normal for outsiders like you to find it difficult to understand!"
A few people nodded silently, using eating to cover up the embarrassment.
Every place has its own culture, and it is understandable that people who don't understand it find it strange. Fortunately, Kira and others came from the well-educated "Fairy Tail". Even if they don't understand what Warrior's Glory is, and think they are like fools from the bottom of their hearts, they will not laugh at Touri and Broki's determination to decide the winner.
After all, when Natsu and Gray were fighting, these people would always clap their hands and cheer on the side, wishing they would fight harder, and some even wanted to get involved.
The scenes of "stop fighting" and "if you must fight, add me in" happen every day in the guild, and all the members of the guild never get tired of it.
After three rounds of drinks, they finally started talking about what Macao and the others had experienced over the past few days.
Like Erza and the others, they traveled to the world of One Piece that night. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a small garden. In addition to Machao and Wakaba, there was also Machao's son, Romeo, who was Natsu's fanboy.
When they first arrived here, the three of them relied on magic to hunt wild beasts to barely survive, and tried to find a way back, but unfortunately they had no clue; after a volcanic eruption, they saw the duel between the two giants, and were almost scared to death, so they hid immediately and dared not show their heads; fortunately, they soon realized that the two giants only wanted to fight from beginning to end, and neither ate people nor did any harm, so they gradually put their minds at ease.
But then, Romeo fell ill.
Children's resistance is still a little weaker than that of adults. Romeo, who is not even ten years old this year, suddenly came to this ancient jungle, so it is normal for him to have a fever and infection.
In order to save his son, Makao had to take a risk and seek help from the giant Donli. Of course, he didn't have much hope at the beginning, and was even mentally prepared to be eaten by the giant. Unexpectedly, Donli actually had herbs that could cure fever - collected on the island. With his help, Romeo's condition gradually improved. It was at this time that Kira and others arrived.
Now, under Wendy's treatment, Romeo's health has recovered a lot and he can even eat meat and drink...drinks with them.
Children are not allowed to drink alcohol. Although the guild does not strictly control this aspect, Macao is very strict in disciplining Romeo in this regard. He is probably afraid that this boy will become an alcoholic like Kana in the future.
boom!!!
Just when a few people were about to say something, the volcano erupted.
"Oh?! Looks like it's time to get going!"
Dong Li suppressed his smile, put down the wine barrel and meat, stood up and casually wiped the oil stains on his hands, then picked up his shield and sword, ready to set off for the agreed battle site.
"Are we going to decide the winner?"
"Yes! The 73,455th battle!"
