Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 101: A Thought of Ice and Snow

Following Aokiji's shout, a short figure walked out of the yurt.

He had an old face and a thick white beard on his chin. He looked up at Aokiji and said, "Um, you are alright, right, Navy boy?"

"Eh? This old man."

Luffy looked at the figure walking out, then looked at Aokiji, scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Why isn't he as tall as you?"

Aokiji: “.”

"That marine is just tall!" Usopp shouted unhappily.

Everyone watched the short old man constantly pulling things out of the yurt, and Aokiji chatted with them without any hesitation.

It turned out that after he arrived on the island, he found this old man who had been standing on stilts for ten years because of his fear of heights, and he rescued him by the way.

Changhuan Island is composed of ten small islands. Due to geographical factors, the residents here have the habit of migrating and they move to the next island every once in a while.

Everyone else left, leaving the old man on stilts on the island for ten years, with only his beloved horse, Shirley, whose neck was like a giraffe, waiting for him.
Soon, the old man moved all the supplies out of the house, and finally packed them up together with the yurt, and piled them on a rough cart made of wooden stakes, with the white horse Shirley on the reins.

"Um, Navy boy, I've prepared everything as you said, but..."

The old man on stilts looked up at Aokiji, opened his wrinkled mouth and asked: "What are you going to give me? It seems that you only have that."

The old man on stilts raised his short arms and pointed at the bicycle lying on the ground.

"Well~, don't worry, there will be a way, but..." Aokiji put his hands on his waist, a white cloak slung over his wrists, scratched his head with one hand and said in embarrassment:
"Your companions are on the third island. It will take two days to get there using a horse-drawn carriage. You don't seem to have enough food."

"Don't worry!" a voice interrupted, and Luffy grinned, "We can send you some food, grandpa."

"Thank you very much."

The old man on stilts stroked his big white beard and turned his old face to Luffy, "So you are good people, I thought you were pirates."

"Ah, we are pirates!" Luffy responded simply with a smile and his hands on his hips.

"——hiss!" The old man took a breath.
At the edge of the island, waves gently lapped against the shore. A pile of carts was filled with more food. A group of people stood on the grass. In front of them was Aokiji, who was dressed in light blue and squatting on the shore.

Is this really possible? This is too exaggerated. Reiner was secretly shocked. He knew what the other party was going to do, so he couldn't help but marvel at it.

Although it is made up of ten small islands, each island is not small. It would take two days for a big horse to pull a cart across the island, so you can imagine how far the distance is.

The cold air gradually emanated from Aokiji. With him as the center, the green grass within a few meters was covered with a layer of white frost. Aokiji stretched out his palm and immersed it in the sea. The sea water slowly condensed into white ice and spread out.

"——Ice Age!"

Swish-!
A flash of white instantly swept across the entire sea level!

It was as if time had stopped and space had frozen, and the azure blue sea had turned into an endless expanse of ice and snow in the blink of an eye!

"Just kidding!"

"Hey! This is a bit too outrageous!"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates opened their mouths and eyes wide, they were shocked beyond words!

Even if it is sea water, freezing such a large area of sea surface in an instant is far beyond everyone's imagination.

It was not until this moment that they truly felt the meaning of the so-called general, which was——

The World Government's Highest Fighting Force!!

Reiner is no exception. Until he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how difficult it is to do such a thing in an instant. The effect of the ability is inseparable from both physical fitness and development.

Although Reiner has sufficient physical strength, the output of the mage undead still depends on the strength of the template and the degree of development of the fruit. Among them, Ace and Crocodile have the highest physical values, but they are obviously not comparable to Aokiji.

If a fight had really broken out just now, Aokiji would have easily resolved all other means except for high-speed and high-damage lightning.

"Okay, this piece of ice can last for seven days and will connect to the third island."

Aokiji stood up, turned around, picked up his bicycle, put his coat on his shoulders and looked at their group of people. The people who saw them couldn't help but clench their hands.

However, Aokiji just slowly got on his bicycle and prepared to leave, saying lightly: "Then I'm leaving too, Ghana~~"

After saying that, Aokiji rode his bicycle away from the ice.

"Goodbye, Marine brother~" The old man on stilts sat on Shirley's back, waving and shouting at Aokiji on the ice, then turned back to look at the Straw Hat Pirates behind him.
"And you, thank you, pirates. I have to leave now."

"Ah, goodbye grandpa, and Shirley!" Luffy waved with a smile, as if he didn't care at all about Aokiji's arrival.

"Huh~~" Nami breathed a sigh of relief, covering her chest with both hands and sighing with lingering fear, "This is too scary, I thought I was going to be arrested."

"As a natural disaster-level natural type, the owner of the Thunder Fruit ability, you are really..."

Reiner looked at Nami speechlessly. It's bad enough that you hid behind him, but you just kicked him out. I think you are itching for trouble.

"What's the matter! I'm just a weak woman!" Nami raised her fist and shouted with gritted teeth.

"In short, it's best if we don't fight." Reiner pushed away Nami's fist, lit a cigarette, and said,
"It will take some time for the magnetic field here to be stored. Robin, I'll leave it to you. Let's go get ready and have a picnic later."

"That sounds great, a picnic!"

Luffy was so excited that he was about to catch the prey. He was the only one there and had forgotten the shock brought by Aokiji's terrifying strength.

Nami went to comfort Robin and chat about some girl's topics. Although Robin still couldn't forget about Aokiji, she pretended not to care and chatted with Nami, slowly getting over her previous emotions.

Reiner summoned the undead to collect firewood and build a pile of firewood. Everyone was busy with their own things and soon started their lunch picnic.

It was a sunny day. On the open plain, the breeze blew across the green grass, creating ripples.

Under a tall and slender poplar tree, young people sitting in a circle were laughing and talking happily, leaving all their unpleasantness behind in the relaxed atmosphere.

After two days of staying, the record pointer was finally full and slowly drifted to the next island.

The group boarded the Merry and continued their voyage to the next unknown island, at least unknown to most of the crew.

After three days of sailing
The sun was shining, white clouds were rolling, a small sheep-headed boat was floating gently in the blue sea, and a seabird flew over the water and picked up a small fish.

On the deck of the Merry, Zoro was sleeping against the thick mast. Several people were playing and joking around him, making fun of Zoro while he was sleeping from time to time.

At the door of the living room on the second floor, a small white table was placed next to the railing along the edge of the ship, with two cups of coffee on the table.

Reiner leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, holding a pen and paper as he took inventory of the supplies on the ship and wrote down on the list the odds and ends he was going to purchase.

Creak~
"This door makes such a loud noise." Sanji walked out of the living room with a tray and couldn't help but say as he looked at the shaky wooden door.
"Since setting sail from the East China Sea, the Merry has become tattered."

"Well, it happens that we're almost at the Seven Water Capital, so we can ask the shipwright to take a look then." Reiner turned around and responded.

"And I'm going to find a gold exchange. I want to turn all the gold from Sky Island into money!" Nami smiled and said, "It can also be used to buy some good things for the Merry."

"Water Seven City, is this our next destination?" Sanji walked forward and put down a fruit platter.

"Well, it's almost time anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Reiner put down the paper and pen, picked up a piece of mango flesh and said:
“The Seven Waters Capital is a famous and prosperous water city on the Grand Waterway, with many specialties and products. You can slowly experience them when you get there.

"More importantly, there is a world-class shipyard there. The ship of Pirate King Roger was designed and built by the shipbuilders there."

"The Pirate King's ship!"

Hearing Reiner's words, Luffy on the deck was excited and stretched his head closer, "It sounds amazing!"

"Yes, the Or Jackson." Reiner nodded and put the mango flesh into his mouth. "There are world-class shipbuilders gathered there."

"great!"

Luffy's chin caught on the guardrail and his whole body snapped up from the deck. "Maybe we can find a shipwright to come aboard."

"I agree! I should have thought of this earlier!" Usopp immediately agreed happily:
"I'm not a real boat builder. I have to fix it every time something breaks. It's better to find a real boat builder."

"Hehehe, because you, Usopp, are more dexterous." Luffy laughed and praised exaggeratedly.

"Ahem, of course. There's nothing I can't do."

"Then it's decided. Let's go recruit a shipwright to join the ship!"

Luffy announced his decision loudly, paused and said, "By the way, find another musician to board the ship!"

Just then, a sound came and attracted the attention of several people.

"Woooo!!"

Hearing the sound, several people turned their heads and looked sideways, and saw a long black shadow flying across the sea at an extremely fast speed.

"What is that? A boat?"

"That's not right. There is no such a long ship."

"It's a train, but it's running on the sea?" question marks popped up in the heads of several people.

"That's the Sea Train, but I didn't gather much information before." Reiner recognized the steel beast that was speeding across the sea and said lightly,

"All we know is that it's a steam train that runs along a track built on the sea. It's worth mentioning that it was designed and invented by Master Tom, the shipwright who built the ship for the Pirate King."

"It was invented by the shipwright of One Piece!" Luffy suddenly became excited, "Quick! Let's catch up and take a look!"

"How can I catch up, idiot?"

Reiner said speechlessly, pointing in the direction where the train was heading, where there was a lighthouse, "Let's go over there and take a look."

Soon, the rudder turned, and the Merry tilted slightly off course and arrived at the lighthouse.

There is a small wooden house below the lighthouse. Standing at the door is a little girl with blonde hair, round face, bright lipstick and pigtails. A blue-haired rabbit with long ears tied up is squatting at its feet.

When the little girl saw them approaching, she immediately ran into the house and screamed, "Oh no! There are pirates, Granny Kokoro, the pirates are coming!"

"Coming!" A figure holding a bottle of wine walked out of the house in response.

Under the long golden curly hair, a loose face with heavy makeup and a huge beer belly walked out.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he kicked the threshold directly.

boom!
Kokoro was tripped and lying on the ground. He raised his head drunkenly and asked the little girl with a confused look on his face:
"Eh? What am I here for?"

"He's actually an alcoholic!!"

Several people on the boat dropped their jaws in shock and shouted, "He's drunk like this in broad daylight! Can he really watch over the lighthouse? This is too unreliable!"

Reiner looked at the woman called Granny Kokoro, and some memories came to his mind. He vaguely remembered that she was a mermaid, but...
Looking at the chin that was integrated with the neck, and the beer belly, it was really strange for a mermaid.
Oh~~, Reiner couldn't help but sigh. Should he tell Sanji? He felt a little reluctant.

Several people jumped off the boat, and Nami walked over to help Kokoro up, "Are you okay, old lady? We just saw a train passing by here, so we came to check it out."

"How rude, little girl. Who are you calling an old woman? Gululu~"

Kokoro grinned, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine before looking at them, "You are talking about the Smoky Tom, right?"

"Smoking Tom? That's the ship. No, is that the name of the train?" Nami asked casually, helping the other person sit down on the chair and then stepped back.

"That's right!"

The blonde girl at the side rushed to answer, looking very lively, "It's amazing! A train running on the sea. And, my name is Chimney."

"Hello, my name is Luffy."

Luffy introduced himself with a grin, and then asked, "Where does that train go?"

"It departs from the Seven Waters City and will pass through the town of the Queen of Spring - Saint Poplar, the gourmet town Pucci, and the Carnival Town."

Kokoro grinned and answered Luffy directly, then raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying:

"The train tracks also connect to Judicial Island, and there is a special train that goes there."

"Is that so? Then let's go to Food Town!" Luffy said to himself with his hands on his hips.

duang!

Nami punched him directly on the head and said angrily, "Didn't we agree to go to the Seven Water Capital to Xiumeri?"

"Oh, yes, yes, let's forget it." Luffy waved his hands awkwardly.

"Um, Granny Kokoro." Reiner approached Kokoro with a sly look in his eyes.
"The Holy Poplar you just mentioned is the Spring Queen Town."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I know what you mean young man."

Granny Kokoro glanced at him teasingly, "Just...Are you sure it's the right time to ask, little brother?"

Before Granny Kokoro finished her words, blinding blue-white lightning appeared.

——Sizzle!!
