One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 109 Tina, oh Tina

"Goodbye, Brother Xia Nuo! And goodbye to everyone else too!"

Take care on your journey!

The booming voices of Donley and Brogy echoed across the sea as the two giants stood on the shore waving goodbye, their massive bodies casting long shadows in the setting sun.

Goodbye, Giant Uncle!!!

The crew members crowded along the ship's side, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Nami and Nojiko had tears in their eyes, and even Kuina's eyes were slightly red.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, after spending a few days together, everyone grew to like these two straightforward, honest, and lovable big guys.

soon.

The island's outline gradually blurred in the twilight.

As the distance increased, Donley and Broki's figures gradually became two small black dots in the field of vision, but they continued to wave their arms tirelessly.

"what?"

Zeff's puzzled voice came from the side, "That's strange, we've driven so far, why haven't we seen that island-eating goldfish yet?"

Xia Nuo then turned his gaze back to the sea in front of the bow of the ship and raised an eyebrow.

Indeed, where is my fish?
What a big fish!
He had originally planned to use his newly learned "Elbaf Spear" to test the results of his special training against this legendary behemoth.

But right now, the sea is unusually calm.

Luffy was immediately targeted by the Shima Goldfish as soon as he set sail from Little Garden, and the End of the Night is much bigger than the Going Merry.

They're so tactful, judging people by their own taste.

He shook his head in disappointment, then looked at the system panel, where the two latest information feeds were displayed.

[You sacrificed a wisp of the long beard of the Blue Demon Tori, gaining 2000 points.]

[You sacrificed the belt buckle of the Red Oni Brogy, gaining 2000 points]

These were all equipment drops from the special training these past few days, which Xia Nuo casually picked up and sacrificed.

This time it really was picked up from the ground.

A total of four thousand points, quite a generous amount, brought his total points back to forty-one thousand.

Of course, if the weapons that have accompanied the two for a hundred years are sacrificed, the points obtained will definitely be much higher.

But that would be too immoral. The Green Ghost and the Red Ghost had just helped him a lot, and they were both honest, simple-minded people. Xia Nuo really couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Nami asked.

Nuomizi was nestled comfortably in her arms, dozing off. The little guy seemed to have taken a liking to Nami's citrus scent and had been staying by her side a lot these days.

On Nami's slender, fair wrist are two wristwatch-style hands.

One is a permanent pointer to Alabasta.

This is what Shano pulled from Crocodile's corpse on Whiskey Peak.

The other one is a regular record pointer.

But it wasn't the one Nami was wearing on her hand from the beginning.

During their stay in the Little Garden, Shano was busy training with the giants every day, while Nami and the others, having nothing else to do, decided to explore the entire island together.

Not only did I see many strange and unusual ancient creatures, which broadened my horizons;

In the winding river, some shipwrecks dating back countless years were also discovered.

The corpses on the ship had long since decomposed into skeletons, and there was no valuable treasure, but a few undamaged log pointers were found.

It is already filled with magnetic force.

Nami was overjoyed and immediately replaced the Log Pose with the new one.

The old pointer accumulated magnetism in the small garden very, very slowly; who knows how long it would take to fully charge it.

With this new pointer, the End of the Line has another option: either go directly to Alabasta or follow the log pointer to the next stop on this route.

"A choice between two options?" Xia Nuo pondered, stroking his chin.

The others also quieted down and waited for his decision.

Choosing a route is the captain's right, and the crew has no right to interfere. Anyone who sets foot on the sea is naturally aware of this.

"Let's move on to the next stop!"

Xia Nuo smiled and quickly made a decision.

Unknown adventures are always more appealing, and with the permanent pointer, Alabasta can be visited anytime.

However, if we don't go to the next stop of this little garden now, once we get to Alabasta and the magnetic field resets, there won't be a chance to go back.

……

three days later.

An island with a somewhat peculiar outline appeared on the distant horizon.

Everyone gathered curiously at the bow of the boat to take a look.

As you zoom in, you can see a stone monument standing at the pier with the words "Welcome to Tor Island" prominently displayed.

"Tor Island... So this is the next stop?"

Smoker was somewhat surprised.

"Have you been here before?" Kuina asked, jumping down from the open-air kendo dojo on the second floor and wiping her sweat with a towel.

"No."

Smoker, a cigar dangling from his lips, looked on with a hint of reminiscence. “However, a few years ago, a colleague of mine came here on a mission and talked to me a lot about this island after he came back.”

"This island is actually a twin island. The north island is a commercially developed town with all kinds of entertainment and a large amusement park. During peak season, it is packed with tourists."

He pointed into the distance, and everyone looked in that direction. Sure enough, they could vaguely see a huge Ferris wheel in the far distance.

"And the South Island, which is where we will land soon, is a beautiful and tranquil rural countryside."

"When spring arrives, cherry blossoms bloom everywhere. Compared to the bustling North Island, although there are not many entertainment options, it is a good place for people who seek inner peace to relax and unwind."

“The two islands are connected by a naturally formed stone bridge, which makes the shape of the entire Twin Islands very interesting.”

He suddenly straightened his chest and pointed to his chest, "From a high altitude, it looks like a 36F bra."

"What bra?!"

"vulgar!"

"You idiot smoker, try a different analogy!"

The three girls were embarrassed and annoyed, and they all threw their drink cups at me.

"Ah, sorry!"

Smoker then realized what he had said, and while awkwardly dodging, his face flushed red. "This is Tina... the friend I mentioned earlier. That's exactly what she said, and as I was speaking, I unconsciously copied her words verbatim..."

"You don't have to copy the actions exactly, you idiot!" Kuina roared with sharp teeth. "This kind of implication... Hey, that Tina must have feelings for you, right? She definitely does, doesn't she?"

"Have it?"

Smoker was bewildered.

How could that be? He only remembered that Tina always bullied him for no reason, ever since they were in recruit camp.

Who would treat someone they like like that?

Xia Nuo sighed softly and patted his shoulder.

Tsk, a thirty-year-old straight man...

"Let's go, let's land on this southern island."

As Xia Nuo watched the dock approaching, the pink and white petals of cherry blossoms drifted in the wind, inexplicably reminding him of his first time setting sail and his adventures on Asakura Island.
