Konoha: I am Uzumaki Naruto, my comprehension is against the sky

"Ready to fight!"

He shouted, and the pirates turned and left the deck.

Another chapter is about to begin, and the adventure continues on this unknown sea.

Usopp, Naruto, Luffy and Zoro continued to head towards Botao Town. Outside the hut where the mechanisms and traps had just been set up, Usopp picked up the telescope and looked forward.

"Here I come."

He whispered, his eyes determined.

The sky of Botao Town has been covered by black flags, and a huge pirate ship is gradually approaching.

This is a pirate ship famous in the New World, known as the "Bloody Tide"

Usopp and the trap makers waited silently, knowing that the battle they were about to face would be difficult and dangerous.

Shooter Carl stood in the center of the bustling market in Botao Town, frowning.

He glanced around and saw busy villagers continuing their ordinary and comfortable lives, everything was normal.

The scene before me was bustling with all kinds of goods and vendors, as if the end of the world was this small market.

Carl raised his voice, trying to get the villagers' attention.

"Villagers, please listen to me!"

he shouted.

The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Carl with some curiosity.

They found a stranger standing among them and did not recognize the young and majestic archer.

"I'm Carl."

He took a deep breath.

"I'm here to warn you about the pirate threat!"

A burst of disapproving laughter rang out, and the villagers exchanged glances.

Karl glanced at everyone with heavy eyes, hoping to squeeze out a trace of seriousness and concern.

"Pirate?"

A villager sneered.

"We are so far away from the coastline, who would care about our small fishing village? Those so-called demonic ships exist only in legends."

"Yes, you gossip too much!"

Another villager scoffed.

"We have been isolated from the outside world for so long that even if pirates come, our strong men can easily deal with them."

Carl felt a crack in his efforts.

He tried to convey real intelligence to them and remind them to be vigilant.

But the villagers looked at him with indifference and suspicion, as if he were a clown.

"Listen!"

Carl tried to calm his voice.

"The bloody tide is about to reach this place. If you don't take action, I'm afraid..."

But before he could finish his words, a villager interrupted him.

"Stop talking nonsense, we have more important things to do."

The villagers all began to turn and leave the market, smiling and talking to each other.

Carl felt isolated and helpless.

"Wait! You can't just ignore this!"

Carl shouted.

"If we don't deal with the pirates, Botao Town will face destruction!"

However, this scene once again triggered a chuckle in the eyes of the villagers.

They looked at Carl as if he were a madman.

"You think we're going to believe your silly story? It's just a strange stranger dressed strangely."

A villager said mockingly.

"Botao Town has long been well protected."

Carl closed his eyes in almost despair; he could feel his own voice echoing.

His previously fearless courage gradually faded.

No matter how hard Carl tried, no one believed the warning he delivered. The villagers left the market indifferently, leaving Carl standing there alone.

At this moment, Naruto, Luffy, Zoro and others broke into the market.

They had just completed a dangerous mission and were ready to take a break.

Naruto saw Carl's frustrated expression and walked over curiously.

"What happened? Why do people dislike you so much?"

Naruto inquired.

Carl looked up and saw Naruto and the others stopped in front of him, a look of hope on his face.

"Are you new travelers? Believe me! Our town is about to face an attack from pirates!"

Carl said anxiously but firmly.

His companions looked at Carl in astonishment, while the other villagers present did not care at all.

At this time, Luffy stepped forward and broke the silence.

"You said there are pirates attacking? That's not good news (obviously)."

Luffy looked around.

"We need to protect these villagers from threats."

The other companions gradually realized the seriousness of the situation and looked at Luffy in shock.

Naruto thought quickly about his next move and immediately stepped forward to make his move.

"We should cooperate with them to overcome possible difficulties!"

Naruto shouted, gaining the attention of his other companions.

Luffy nodded.

"That's right. If this town is really in danger, as a candidate for Pirate King, I won't sit idly by!"

Zoro and his companions also expressed their support and demonstrated their respective abilities.

Everyone immediately set off for the cliff west of Botao Town.

When they got there, they were stunned by the sight.

A huge and evil pirate ship docked at the shore, filled with a murderous aura.

On the shore, a team of fully armed guards were guarding the pirate ship.

Chapter 203: Ominous News

"This is so terrible!"

Zoro was deeply shocked when he looked at the enemy camp.

The other companions also laughed at this.

They began to share interesting things that happened in the current mission and talked about each other's experiences.

But at this moment of great hustle and bustle, a low and ominous voice came from outside the crowd.

"It seems you don't care about Carl's warning."

Everyone turned around and saw a blue-haired man leaning against the door, leisurely watching their commotion.

"Hey! Our friends seem to be having a lot of fun watching this."

The blue-haired man sauntered into the tavern and sat next to them.

"I couldn't help but come over to see how you handled this little incident."

Naruto asked curiously as his companions looked at each other.

"Who are you? How do you know what we are talking about?"

The blue-haired man gave a playful smile.

"I'm the sheriff of this town. You can call me Diego. I'm quite famous in this town."

Luffy raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Do you have any opinion on the warning Carl gave?"

Diego shook his head slightly.

"No, I'm not scared to death like those bumpkins. I've been warned so many times before! Pirates visit our little village almost every month at the end of the month, but they always turn out to be false alarms, so this time is no exception."

Luffy froze for a moment, and his companions began to relax.

Zoro said with a shrug.

"Hearing what he said, maybe Carl was just exaggerating."

Everyone began to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, they ordered a table of delicious food, and laughter filled the entire pub.

Usopp glanced at Diego and mustered up the courage to ask.

"Captain Diego, do these pirates also attack Wave Town at the end of every month?"

Diego grinned and waved his hand.

"No, no, no, these guys only appeared recently. I heard that they are a large-scale pirate gang that specializes in finding rare treasures."

Usopp frowned.

"So they're already around here?"

Diego nodded.

"Unfortunately, they are in the waters east of us, very close to Botao Town. I am just about to organize people to stop them."

Nami put down the wine glass in her hand and looked at Usopp solemnly.

"Usopp, we have to act quickly. We can't let these guys get close and endanger the villagers!"

Usopp took a deep breath, showing surprising calmness.

"You guys go back to the boat and wait for me later. I have a plan."

He turned around and hurriedly left the tavern amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

After hesitating for a moment, Nami, Luffy and other companions decided to trust Usopp and returned to the Straw Hat Pirates' flagship, the Thousand Sunny.

On the east side of Botao Town is a dense forest, and Usopp quickly arrived here.

He found a secluded hillside and began laying many carefully prepared traps.

Seeing that everything was ready, Usopp felt a little hesitant.

Fighting against such a huge pirate group is a huge test for their small pirate group.

However, the passionate Naruto and his companions have already thrown themselves into this challenge, and Usopp cannot back down.

He licked his cracked lips and prayed silently that his plan would succeed.

As night fell, Usopp and Nami returned to the ship to report on the situation.

"I've set up a demon spike net trap."

Usopp gritted his teeth.
