Chapter 168 Arrival at Shampoo Land

A few seagulls flew across the blue sky, and the sea surface sparkled with golden light.

The sun was shining warmly, and a small boat was sailing slowly across the blue water, creating ripples that spread out to both sides.

After leaving Vilmeyou, the Merry sailed along the record needle for a few more days.

On the stern deck, Reiner and Zoro were training as usual, with Usopp, a half-dead student who was gritting his teeth to persevere, beside them.

Ding!Ding!
The hammer hit the nails rhythmically, making a crisp sound.

Franky's movements on his sturdy arms were delicate and meticulous, as if he was taking care of a baby, fearing even the slightest deviation.

Only after he had mended a piece of wood tightly did he breathe a long sigh of relief, wipe the sweat from his forehead, and take out a can of Coke.

"That will take care of the stern."

Franky grinned, unscrewed the bottle cap and threw it into the sea, raised his head and took a sip, then turned back and said, "The snake current this morning was too fierce. Nami's sailing skills are really awesome!"

As expected of a super ship tyrant who punches the captain and steps on the ace, of course, this sentence cannot be said.

Nami was sitting on a recliner reading a newspaper leisurely. She smiled proudly when she heard his compliment, waved her hand and said politely, "Oh, no, it's all because of our good cooperation."

"., 1999, 2000, the end!"

boom! !

The huge barbell fell heavily to the ground. Reiner stepped over it, pulled the towel off his neck and began to wipe the sweat.

His bare upper body was lined with strong muscles that seemed to be made of steel, and a few scars scattered on it gave him a feeling of violence and strength.

He took the blue shirt handed to him by the fair hands, put it on, and buttoned it up one by one.

Looking at the cloth held up by his muscles, he moved left and right, and the feeling of restraint on his body made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I need to change my clothes into something bigger. I'll go find a clothing store and have them custom made after I get to the island."

Reiner sat cross-legged on the deck casually and stretched out his hand to the side, "Franky, give me a bottle of iced Coke."

"No big deal, take it." Franky shouted, taking out a bottle of Coke from his stomach and throwing it over.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and threw it into the sea, then he tilted his head back and took a gulp.

A cool feeling spread from the inside out, instantly sweeping across the body to the limbs, fingertips and even every hair pore.

"carefree!"

Snapped!
Nami rolled up the newspaper and fanned him on the back of the head unhappily, then put one hand on her waist and said seriously, "Don't drink cold drinks directly after strenuous exercise, and don't throw garbage everywhere!"

(Please do not imitate negative teaching materials.)
"I am guilty, let me go to hell after I die." Reiner nodded seriously and took another sip of iced Kuoluo.

"Hey Nami! Come and see if we're there yet!"

At this moment, Luffy's shout came from the front.

Hearing the sound, Nami cleaned up the table and walked to the front.

boom!
"Great, let's stop here for today."

Usopp put down the barbell with a sense of relief, then lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Then he felt a sharp gaze falling on him, and his back felt cold.

"You're only halfway done, aren't you in a hurry to go play?"

Zoro kicked him on the butt and shouted, "Get up now! You are not allowed to go to the island until you have finished 2,000 weighted squats."

"Wow, wow, I get it." Usopp shed two tears of regret.

I should have stopped playing with them! They are both perverts, perverts!!
"Come on, Usopp! A man should persevere to the end. I still need to go repair the hull. I will accompany you to the island after you finish your training." Franky patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

Then he packed up the repair tools and walked into the cabin with Reiner.

On the central lawn deck of the Merry, several people looked up with different expressions. A huge wall blocked their way.

The red soil continent spans across the sea, stretching endlessly to the left and right, and towering into the clouds!
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at the majestic mountains, one can't help but feel insignificant. "It's so high that I can't see the end at a glance." Brook looked up and stared blankly at the familiar red continent.

"Arriving here means we're halfway through the Grand Line. The Sabaody Archipelago should be nearby. Let me take a look." Nami took out the nautical chart she found from Shiki.

He closed one eye and looked carefully at the angle of the record pointer on his wrist. "Emmm, we should go a little further east."

"East, we're turning now." Reiner turned his head to look, and soon, the Merry changed direction little by little.

The falcon undead were also released to survey.

The group was filled with excitement. Among them, only Chopper was seeing the Red Earth Continent for the first time and was very excited about it.

"Luffy Luffy! Did you climb over such a big mountain and enter the Grand Line before?" Chopper jumped on his head and asked.

"Hehehe, it was super exciting back then, Chopper! There was such a big river there, and it was flowing upwards!"

“——Amazing!”

Luffy opened his hands and gestured, and Chopper looked at him with his mouth wide open in admiration.

After a while, they came into view of the outline of the Chabaoti Archipelago, and as the ship slowly moved, its entire appearance came clearly into everyone's sight.

Luffy couldn't wait to rush to the edge of the ship, jumped onto the railing, squatted and looked around, and Reiner and others followed closely and surrounded him.

Looking around, the whole island is full of green, with countless huge tree trunks standing upright, stripes standing upright, and numbers painted on them.

Below were a large number of thick tree roots and twisted branches, almost every root was as thick as the Merry.

A large number of town buildings are built around the trunk and directly on the roots.

Transparent bubbles emerged one after another from the grass, slowly floating into the air, and the sunlight shining through reflected colorful colors.

".So beautiful." Nami stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of her.

“The ground is literally bubbling!”

"so amazing!"

"This is an island made up of the roots of the Argiman mangrove tree. The resin they secrete expands and forms bubbles due to their respiration."

Reiner explained briefly, smiled lightly and pretended to be mysterious, "There are all kinds of bubble cultures here, you will know later."

Luffy and Chopper's eyes were shining, and they obviously couldn't wait to reach the shore.

He took out a map that he had prepared long ago. It simply showed the distribution of the island. He pointed to a tree trunk numbered '30' in the distance and said:
"Each tree has a number. Trees 30 to 49 are the commercial streets and amusement parks. You can dock nearby."

Near the tree trunk that Reiner pointed to, there were scattered pirate ships anchored, and there were also many small boats floating on the outer sea, which looked like sea vendors.

Luffy shouted excitedly, "I want to go to the amusement park!"

"And me, and me!" Chopper immediately jumped up and agreed.

Reiner had already made plans for himself, "I will first go to a gold exchange office to exchange the treasure, and by the way, I will look for information about the film coating technician."

The few of them soon each had their own goals, but they still walked together when they first arrived on the island, after all, they were waiting for Reiner to share the money.

The Merry slowly sailed towards the shore. As it passed a group of sea vendors on small boats, the aroma of delicious food wafted onto the ship.

"smell good."

Luffy's body followed his nose and his nose followed the scent, and he walked to the edge of the ship as if he was possessed, and looked down, and saw a snack stand.

"Takoyaki No. 8?"

Looking at the sign above, Luffy grinned and jumped down alone and came to the deck of the boat.

A girl with short green hair and a long skirt was walking out of the cabin and standing behind the bar.

Luffy raised his hand and said hello with a smile: "Hello! I want some takoyaki!"
