Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

From here we can see that these residents are different from those we have met before, both in terms of their clothing and appearance.

Their hands are very distinctive. At first glance, you can see that they are very flexible.

These people were quite alert at first, but when they saw Princess Shirahoshi, they all relaxed.

After all, she is known as the most beautiful princess among pirates, and that is not a lie.

Soon, three representatives from the island came over.

The one in the lead was not tall, just reaching Xia Zheteng's chest. When he got closer, he had to look up at Xia Zheteng.

"Sailor from afar, no one has been here for many years. What's the matter with you coming here?"

"Oh, we just wanted to visit Mr. Delamere and hope to make a four-way pointer."

"Oh, I see." The leader glanced around Xia Zheteng's team.

Fortunately, there are no ugly guys in this team.

Jack and Tiger are considered the ugliest ones.

But fortunately, they are protecting the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, which is acceptable.

"Well, I hope you won't fight on the island. This island is an absolute island of peace."

Xia Zheteng nodded: "We will not fight on our own initiative, but if we are attacked on the island, we will protect ourselves. I hope you can understand."

Xia Zheteng knew that he couldn't agree to this matter casually. It would be good to add some conditions, at least to ensure his own safety.

The island owner finally said nothing and nodded to indicate that they could go in.

The island is large, but looking at the current situation, a large part of it is covered with food and other things grown by the people here.

As they went deeper, they came to the town here, a very simple town, not big, with only a few hundred households.

Chapter 481 Making a Four-way Pointer

In the center of the town, there is a very Dionysian house, which is the best house in the whole town.

Shanks brought Xia Zheteng and the others here.

"Everyone here is a craftsman, and it's a self-sufficient place, so the people here decide where to live and the resources they are allocated based on the strength of the craftsmen, and Delamiel is the best producer here."

Now I understand, he is the number one craftsman, so he lives in such a big house.

Xia Zheteng went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, an old man opened the door.

He glanced at the others first, then saw Shanks.

"Oh, it's you again, kid. Tell me, how many times have you come to see me?"

"Haha, old Delamiel, it's not me who's looking for you this time, it's these people."

Delamiel wore a pair of reading glasses and looked at Xia Zheteng and the others, then frowned.

"You mean you need a four-pin pointer?"

Xia Zheteng just nodded. Old Delamiel looked up at the sky and said, "I haven't made a four-needle pointer for a long time. The first one was for Roger..."

Listening to Delamir's words, Xia Zheteng felt very depressed. This old man is indeed old, and he likes to reminisce about the past so much, which is really depressing.

"Well, we really need this pointer, could you please give it to us?" Bai Xing's sweet voice came.

Dramiel looked up at the white star, and then his eyes immediately turned into a heart shape.

"No problem, I'll do it now."

Then, Delamiel rushed into the house at incredible speed.

"You guys can sit down anywhere you like, Shanks. You don't have to be polite. You've come to my place. Be more casual and entertain your friends. I'm going to make a four-way pointer."

Delamier's voice had disappeared, probably because he had gone into his studio.

Xia Zheteng and a few others were pulled by Shanks to the living room and sat down. Shanks boiled water and made tea for them himself.

"He is just like this. He likes beautiful things. He also likes beautiful people like Princess Shirahoshi. That's why he becomes like this."

Xia Zheteng said, "Are beautiful things limited to humans?"

"Not really. If you show him your knife, maybe he'll like it."

After hearing this, Xia Zheteng said "Oh". It seems that the old man really only likes beautiful things, not people.

"I want to go and help, is it possible?" Vegapunk said.

Shanks nodded, "I think he would like it. He likes smart people."

Vegapunk also went to the inner room, and found that the door was not even locked.

"How long does it usually take to make a four-way pointer?"

"It will probably take a few days." Shanks said nonchalantly, "We can stay here for a few days, but you have to take care of yourself."

This is not a problem for Xia Zheteng, as he has a lot of supplies on his ship.

But Xia Zheteng is thinking about something else now.

He reached out and grabbed Shanks' collar.

"Now, tell me anything else you know about going to Raftel that you haven't told me yet."

"Haha, how is that possible?" Shanks said, but his eyes drifted to the other side.

Beckman and his teammates are there.

But seeing Shanks' expression, Beckman turned his head and said, "Ah, we've been sailing for so long, I'm a little tired. Let's go out and find a place to hold the party."

"Have a party? Okay." Bai Xing was very happy. She liked holding parties because they would be lively and everyone would be happy and friendly during a party.

"Beckman, you are my second captain."

"Ah, now we are on Xia's ship, so I have to give Captain Xia Zheteng face. Okay, let's find a place to go together."

"Banquet, banquet." Lu patted his big belly, and there was another big piece of meat to eat.

Soon, everyone in the room left, leaving only Xia Zheteng and Shanks.

"I'm not helping you now, so tell me, is there anything else I don't know?"

Shanks laughed dryly twice and said, "Behind this island is the other half of the Red Earth Continent."

Xia Zheteng thought about it and realized that he had almost gone half a circle.

The end of the new world, the other side of the red earth continent, should indeed be our destination.

"so what?"

There are no celestial dragons in this half of the red earth continent. There is a heavenly lake here. The lake will produce a special kind of bubbles. If you ride these bubbles up, you will go to an empty island, which is one of the places where the four red texts are located.

Xia Zheteng glared at Shanks fiercely. If he hadn't forced him to ask, he would not have been willing to talk about this matter.

Wait, Xia Zheteng suddenly thought of a question and said, "Have you got the pointer here?"

Shanks just laughed out loud twice.

It seems that he should have collected the four-way pointers long ago. If I hadn't pressed him about it, Shanks might not have told me.

By then, when I go somewhere else to deal with the pointer problem there, Red Hair might have already arrived at Raftel with the Straw Hat.

Xia Zheteng was not afraid that they would get the treasure or anything, but he was afraid that some changes would occur at that time, which would affect his return journey.

"You are such a troublesome guy, damn it, what else is going on?"

"This time it's really over, seriously." Shanks raised his hand to indicate that he had really said everything this time.

Xia Zheteng looked into Shanks' serious eyes and said, "I'll trust you once, but you have to know that if you lie to me and I can't complete my task, you'll be dead."

"Haha, not really."

"What a pity, it really came to this." Xia Zheteng's expression was serious.

Shanks also frowned, because he really had no idea what Xia Zheteng's plan was, and hoped that it would not conflict with their plans.

The town soon fell into joy. The banquet began, and the aroma of fire, wine and meat filled the entire town.

However, this does not affect the craftsmen who are at work.

In the most luxurious house, in an underground studio.

Dramiel and Vegapunk were carefully handling the pointers in their hands.

"Perfect, this is really a work of art." Following Vegapunk's voice, Delamir also became happy.

He already knew Vegapunk's name, and it was a wonderful thing to be praised by the world's number one scientist.

"No, this is the only skill I have."

“No, this is a work of art.”

For a moment, the two of them felt a sense of mutual understanding.

Chapter 482 The Other Side of the Red Earth Continent

It is not difficult to make the pointer, but it needs to be adjusted eventually, which takes several days.

Xia Zheteng and a few others also stayed here for a few days, and were isolated from the world.

You know, even the albatrosses that deliver newspapers rarely come here. They only come here occasionally and leave a newspaper, but the news they bring is often outdated.

People here rely on these outdated news to understand the situation on the sea.

During the few days that Xia Zheteng stayed here, he only received a newspaper that recorded the success of the navy's scorched earth operations.

It is said that six or seven pirate groups have been captured by the navy.

Because the pirates had no vegetables and fruits, they suffered from sepsis and their fighting power was greatly reduced.

"It seems that the navy has been very capable recently. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome for us to go out." Xia Zheteng said.

Shanks hummed, "The most important thing is to have a good supply of vegetables and fruits. As long as there is no widespread illness on our ship, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, neither Xia nor my pirate group are vegetarians."

"really."

If we only talk about combat effectiveness, Xia Zheteng and Red Hair are not afraid of anyone when they join forces, but the navy's scorched earth warfare is not really about combat effectiveness, which is very uncomfortable.

"It's done." The door of the room opened, and Vegapunk and Dramiel came out, holding something like a watch in their hands.

This is the four-way pointer. In the four round glass covers, the four pointers are shaking regularly.

"These pointers will only start when you reach the destination. Take them with you to where you want to go. When you have completed the pointer records, when you are sailing on the sea, when you see all four pointers pointing downwards, you have arrived at the destination."

Just say it.

If the location of Raftel could be determined based on just four points, then Raftel would have been found long ago.

The intersection formed by these four points is movable, so few people can find it.

If the point moves, it will be difficult to find its moving position at sea.

After all, this side is a little off, which could mean several nautical miles away at sea.

So there has to be something to point to.

It was beyond Xia Zheteng's expectation that the record pointer could be used in this way.

"It's up to you guys to do what you want from now on. My mission is accomplished."

Xia Zheteng reached out to take the pointer, but was dodged by Delamiel.

"Oh, beautiful mermaid princess, please accept my gift. This four-way pointer will be given to the most beautiful princess in the world."

Xia Zheteng retracted his hand helplessly. Fortunately, he brought Bai Xing with him, otherwise, he really didn’t know whether he could convince Delamir.

Bai Xing happily reached out and took the recording pointer.

It fits perfectly on my wrist. It seems to be tailor-made for Princess Shirahoshi.

"Haha, this is really rare. Xia Zheteng's name is totally useless here."

Bellemel on the side was also smiling happily.

"It's useless for anyone to come to this place. They only like beautiful things. I remember when Mu and Red Hair first came here, they were also driven out. But later..."

"Beckman." Shanks looked at Beckman. Is this guy going to tell his own embarrassing story?
