Then a few people split into two groups.
The first road: Luffy, Bai Ye, Robin and Usopp.
The target is a local restaurant.
The second road: Nami, Chopper, Sanji and Zoro.
The target is the shopping street in the town.
In the restaurant, Lu Fei tapped his hands on the table, eagerly waiting for the big meal to arrive.
Bai Ye looked at Robin and said:
"By the way, did you get this book from Alabasta?"
Having read the original White Night, I naturally know what Robin is reading.
Robin looked at Bai Ye and smiled:
"That's right, it's a pretty interesting adventure story."
"An adventure story? It will be more interesting."
At this time, an old man's voice sounded.
"Well, indeed."
Usopp accepted the words and nodded, then suddenly reacted:
"Speaking of which, who are you!!"
The old man who was complained by Usopp was not tall, with gray hair and mustache, and a strange instrument on his back. m.
He looked at Usopp: "I am a genius scientist who studies rainbow fog."
Hearing this, Robin, who was flipping through the book, suddenly looked up at the old man, as if he had heard an interesting topic.
Usopp: "I'm asking why you are talking to us!!"
"And, who would say that he is a genius!!"
Bai Ye: "...You have said it many times yourself."
Usopp: ? ? ?
Just as Usopp was full of question marks, the chef of the restaurant came to several people with a few plates.
"food!!"
Luffy yelled happily, took the plate and started eating.
After putting the food on the table, the chef
The old man asked:
"Speaking of which, you have money with you."
"Of course, they treat guests."
The old man pointed his finger at Usopp and said.
Usopp: "Don't talk to yourself, hey!!"
The old man didn't panic at all, and continued:
"I'll tell you the secret of the rainbow fog. It's very reasonable for you to treat me."
Usopp: "Who cares about you! We didn't say anything to listen!!"
"My name is Henzo, and I have been studying rainbow fog for fifty years."
"It is said that Rainbow Fog is the garden where the gods live..."
Usopp: "Hey, hey, have you started talking yet?!"
In this way, under Henzo's narration, several people also knew about the rainbow fog.
The rainbow fog is a thick fog that appears near this island from time to time, and countless adventurers have already entered it.
But no one came back.
Among them was Henzo's friend.
"Is that so, is it an incredible place?"
At this time, Luffy, who was full of food and drink, said:
"Sounds like fun, hahaha."
"Hey, hey, Luffy, didn't you hear what this guy said just now?"
Usopp felt a little bad when he heard Luffy's tone.
"Once you go in, you can never come out!!"
Usopp also turned his attention to Bai Ye and Robin, hoping that the two could help persuade Luffy together.
who knows-
"More than just fun,"
Bai Ye smiled and said:
"So many adventurers went in but didn't come out, doesn't it mean that there will be a lot of treasure there."
"yes!!"
Hearing the treasure, Luffy's eyes brightened instantly.
Unlike Nami's greed for money, Luffy is purely for the pleasure of getting treasure after taking risks.
"I've decided!! Next, I'll go on an adventure in Rainbow Fog!!"
Hearing this, Usopp looked at Bai Ye with a look of hopelessness.
Just pet him.
At this moment, Robin on the side also spoke.
Obviously, she is also on the side of Bai Ye and Luffy.
It's just that in contrast, Robin's smile seems to hide some secrets.
At this moment, there was a sudden rhythmic drumbeat outside the hotel.
Chapter 124 Strange Taxation, Rainbow Fog Appears
After hearing the sound, the expressions of other diners in the restaurant changed drastically.
"Yes...the conscripting team is here!!"
"Quick, swallow all the food!!"
But it was too late.
boom! !
The door of the hotel was kicked open.
A group of people dressed as soldiers filed in.
The man who was obviously the leader walked up to the crowd step by step.
The man was wearing a purple uniform, with a big purple hair back, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Snapped!
The man patted one of the diners on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Your wine looks delicious, but—"
"You should know that there is a drinking tax for drinking."
Then, two men who looked like soldiers came behind the diner and set him up.
"No, the money in my pocket will be used as living expenses for my wife and children!"
"Please don't take it all."
The diners struggled to shout. Q
"Taxation is everyone's duty!"
The man took the wallet found by the soldier, and said slowly:
"People who don't pay taxes are not eligible to live here!"
Some nonsense, just say so.
"Who is this guy?" Usopp subconsciously asked.
"Philip, son of Weedon, ruler of this island."
The chef on the side said:
"This guy always comes here to force taxes on us."
Suddenly, Philip seemed to hear the voice, and turned to look at the crowd.
When he saw Henzo, the expression on his face instantly changed from cloudy to sunny, and he strode towards several people:
"Isn't this Dr. Henzo? My father was looking for you just now."
Philip said with a half-smile on his face:
"I don't know how the research on the rainbow fog is going?"
Henzo pursed his lips, as if he really didn't want to talk to Philip:
"Still the same, it is impossible to determine when and where the rainbow fog will appear."
Hearing this, the expression on Philip's face changed, and his voice became severe:
"Dr. Henzo, your research is paid for by the taxpayers."
As he said that, Philip pointed his finger out of the window. In that direction, there was a tall tower standing.
"That rainbow tower was also built for your research."
"If your research has not progressed, everyone will have a hard time."
At this time, other people in the hotel cast hateful glances at Henzuo.
Facing these gazes, Henzo felt a little guilty, but he still didn't defend himself.
See, Philip did not
Be aggressive, but ready to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, he found that Luffy beside him was still munching on the delicious food on the plate.
So he stopped, pointed at Luffy and said:
"You ate a large plate of macaroni."
"As long as you use the market, you have to pay the market tax."
As he spoke, soldiers were ready to step forward.
[Six rounds of flowers bloom! 】
Robin crossed his hands, and pieces of cherry blossoms fell in front of him.
The soldiers who were about to attack Luffy were stripped of their bones by the six arms that suddenly grew out of their bodies, and fell limp to the ground.
"Don't move."
Robin, who was sitting on the chair, spoke slowly and smiled.
"A devil fruit?"
Cold sweat broke out on Philip's face, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this time, Bai Ye suddenly asked a question that had troubled him for a long time:
