Chapter 823: Fight? Add me in!
"By the way, why are you three in the small garden?"
Previously, Lucy had learned from Kira that the name of this island was "Little Garden". Now when she heard Gardino say this term directly, she was a little surprised, because they clearly said that they came to this island accidentally due to a storm.
If it was an accident, how did they know this place was called Little Garden? Did they know the islands in this area very well? Or did they come to this island for another purpose?
Natsu and Happy can handle the giggling, but once it comes to safety, Lucy immediately becomes alert: "We have a few companions here, and we are here to meet them."
Gardino was stunned: "Companions? But as far as I know, there are only two giants on this island!"
The giant is their companion? Are you kidding me?! He was the one who had been fighting here for a hundred years! How could he be a companion to these people? Could there be other people on the island? ? But why didn’t I notice? ?
"Our companions have nothing to do with the giants. They just arrived a few days ago."
"Do you need help? We are quite familiar with this place."
"No need, my other companions should have found them."
After several exchanges, Lucy revealed a message to Gardino, which could also be said to be a warning, which was: We still have partners on this island, so consider yourself before taking any action.
In fact, even if Lucy didn't say it, Gardino didn't dare to have any bad ideas towards them. Because of Natsu, he didn't dare to act rashly. He just wanted to get the people in front of him to leave the small garden as soon as possible so that he could take action against the two giants.
Seeing that the intelligence had been collected almost completely, Lucy said goodbye to Natsu and the others and went back to reunite with Kira and the others.
Miss Golden Week did not choose to leave with them, which made Lucy very disappointed. She couldn't believe that such a gentle and kind older sister like herself was outshined by an ugly-looking uncle.
After the others left, Gardino looked at Miss Golden Week, who was drinking green tea beside him with a calm expression from beginning to end: "You are really calm."
"You are too reckless! If they had stayed a little longer, they would have gotten all the information out of you."
Miss Golden Week complained lightly. Although she looked down on Mr. 3 with her words, her eyes and expression were no different from what she usually said, as if what she said were not sarcastic words, but homely words like "I ate", "I'm fine", and "The weather is nice today".
This 'poker face' facial expression management is even better than that of Kaito Kid next door .
Gardino did not say anything else, but took out two wanted posters from his arms and placed them on the table. The portraits on the wanted posters were exactly the targets of his trip, 'Blue Demon' Dongli and 'Red Demon' Broki.
He looked at the two faces with a calculating and sinister look in his eyes: "The former captain of the Giant Pirate Ship has a bounty of 100 million berries, so two people would be 200 million berries. This big deal cannot be missed!"
On the other side, the three people who were rushing back using Natsu's nose happened to come to the place where two giants were dueling, and saw the two men lying on the ground to rest.
"Ooooh! It's a giant?!!"
"Is this what the '3' just said, the giants who fought here for a hundred years??!"
"It turns out he didn't lie to us, there really are giants here!!"
Broki, the Red Ghost, who was resting on the ground at this time, noticed Natsu and the other two emerging from the forest and suddenly became curious: "Humans? How rare! I haven't seen anyone come to this island for a long time!"
This fellow who looked like Brother Zhang San had a heroic voice, like the sound of drums or bells, echoing throughout most of the small garden.
Lying on the other side, the 'Blue Ghost' Dongli immediately guessed the origins of Natsu and his companions: "Are you guys... also wizards?"
Donli could tell the origins of Natsu and others at a glance. The reason was that in such a short period of time, three groups of people appeared on the island in succession, and the probability that they were the same group was very high. In addition, the Happy who was following Natsu at this time reminded him of Xia Lulu who had been with Wendy before. These two winged, talking cats were undoubtedly the same species.
Since the people before claimed to be wizards, the ones in front of us should be the same.
"Do you know them, Donli?"
"It should be the same as the humans that appeared on the island in the past two days."
"Really? There are humans coming to your place? I'm so envious! Gababababababa..."
Brockie burst into laughter, and no one knew what he was laughing at. Maybe for these idiots whose minds were full of fighting, joy was that simple.
Natsu and the others were surprised that the other giant knew their identities, but after thinking about it for a while, they quickly guessed that the other party must have met Kira and the others, or had communicated with the wizard who came here before. Otherwise, normally, people in this world should not know the "wizard".
It didn't take long for Natsu to win the favor of the two giants with his simple, enthusiastic and bellicosity.
"If it weren't inappropriate now, I would definitely have a good duel with you!"
"Really? I'm looking forward to fighting you guys too!!"
Natsu and Luffy are somewhat similar in that they are thick-skinned and one-track-minded, but their attitudes towards fighting are completely different.
For example, after Luffy heard about the duel between two giants, he would yearn for it, admire it, and respect it. If anyone dared to interfere in this sacred duel, he would never forgive the other party. But Natsu is different. After hearing about the duel between two giants, the only feeling in his mind was "burning", and he would only think about joining them and fighting together with three people.
"How about you guys add me to the fight?"
Looking at the two giants in front of him, Natsu seems eager to try, but the answer he gets will ultimately disappoint him, because the warriors of Elbaf regard the duel as more important than anything else.
"No! We won't allow anyone else to interfere in the fight!!"
"Eh?!! What's the matter? You're so stingy!" Natsu complained sullenly, crossing his arms over his chest.
Dongli: “…”
Brockie: “…”
This was the first time in the two giants' lives that they were called stingy for refusing others to interfere in their duel.
"So...if you're done fighting, can't you add me in?"
"Gababababababa!! That's what we say, but we've been fighting for 100 years and have tied 73,455 times. How can the winner be decided so quickly?!"
"Hmm..." Natsu frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lucy: "Do you think there will be a way to find Kira?"
"Are you going to ask Kira for help for this?" Lucy was speechless. She was shocked but felt that this was indeed in line with Natsu's character. "You are really worthy of it..."
At this moment, Kira and his group finally followed Natsu's magic and came over: "Where did you guys go just now? We have finished lunch and are ready to set off!"
"Oh, it's okay! Because someone just treated us to afternoon tea, so we are not hungry now."
Happy flew over, and then saw Makao and the other two following Kira, "Huh?! So you're the ones here? Ah~ I don't know why I feel a little disappointed~ You're just a background board that can't even do a good job of being funny or making jokes..."
Makao: "..."
Wakaba: “…”
Romeo: “…”
This stinky cat is showing off again. I really want to hit him! !
However, Habib ignored the three people's eyes that wanted to beat him up, and quickly approached Xia Lulu, took out a piece of senbei that he had just touched and now had a bow tied on it, and presented it to her like a treasure: "Xia Lulu, look! This is the senbei I brought for you, it's delicious!!"
Xia Lulu was immediately confused, she didn’t like eating senbei at all!
Besides, who would give a cat a gift of rice crackers?? And this rice cracker was taken from someone else's afternoon tea... This idiot's brain seems to be even more stupid than he thought! !
But out of politeness, Xia Lulu still stretched out her claws and took them back. At the same time, she turned her head away proudly and expressed her preference to the harpy in an unobtrusive way: "Thank you! But compared to senbei, I still prefer sweets like cake and pudding!"
Happy didn't understand what Xia Lulu meant at all. He foolishly flew to Natsu and shouted boastfully, "Natsu! Natsu!! Did you see that? Xia Lulu accepted my gift and even said thank you to me!!"
Xia Lulu: “…”
Everyone who saw this scene: "..."
Habby, this stupid cat, you can't even seize the opportunity given to you, you are so useless!!
"Speaking of which, Habby said someone invited you guys to afternoon tea just now? Who was it?"
Lucy thought about it and thought that Kira might know something, so she said , "It's an ugly uncle named Gardino, and a little girl named Marianu."
Kira tilted his head in confusion at the two almost completely unfamiliar names: Gardino? Mariannu? ? Who is this? ? Logically speaking, Luffy has gone out to sea, so shouldn't the garden be empty during this period? Could it be that the appearance of the wizard caused the plot to deviate? ?
Just as Kira was puzzled, Natsu ended the conversation and added: "The hairstyle on that uncle's head is very interesting, it is a '3', and he is also a candle-shaped wizard."
"puff--!"
Hearing the familiar term, Graydon was curious: "Are you talking about the modeling wizard?! Or the candle??"
"Natsu, I told you he's not a wizard, he's a devil fruit user!"
"Oh, that's right!" Natsu suddenly realized again.
After figuring out everything, Gray was helpless again and complained: "Really, can you be more serious? It's been so many days, don't you study the power system of this world carefully? How can a mere Devil Fruit ability user compare with us, the Shape Wizards?"
"But the candle shape of '3' is really amazing! I think he might be even more amazing than you..."
Gray was immediately furious: "What did you say?!"
On the other side, Urrutia glanced at Kira who looked strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Kira waved his hand: "Nothing, just a rough idea of who they met."
Oh my god, if it wasn't for Natsu's reminder, I almost forgot Mr. 3's name. And that little girl, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Miss Golden Week who can use colors to hint, right? This is the first time I know her name...
There is no doubt that Mr.3's purpose in the small garden is to capture the two giants in front of him, and their appearance here means that Luffy and others may have crossed the Upside Down and arrived at the Grand Line.
By the way, when Luffy and his companions arrived at the small garden, how many times did the two giants fight? Maybe we can calculate from this how long it will take them to arrive...
Just when Kira was thinking about whether to stay for two more days to meet the future Pirate King, Natsu suddenly ran over and called him.
"I say, Kira!"
"what??"
Natsu grinned and said, "Do you have any idea to make Donli and Brocky decide the winner in the fastest way? I want to fight them!!"
Kira: “…”
Before he could complain, Gray beside him called him, "I say, Kira! Why don't we just stay here for two more days?"
Kira glanced at Gray and said, "Why? You don't want to fight them like Natsu does, do you? Or did you plan on a four-person battle from the beginning?"
Gray was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm not that idiot Natsu, why would I want to fight with them?"
That's good……
Kira breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to compete with that guy using candles to see whose look is better!!"
Kira: “…”
I think you are no different from that idiot Natsu!!!
