One Piece: Beginning and Straw Hat Luffy living on a desert island

"I've lived with these guys for twenty years. So I want to get rid of you.

"I see. You're a good person. Luffy nodded.

"What's the deal with pistols and bullets? It's not that easy to get. "

Hey, that gun I just used was dropped by those pirates. Until then, I had been making traps and weapons out of things from this island. I can't hit them because I'm in the box. I hid myself and figured out how to deal with them.

When Carmon looked at the squirrel, the squirrel familiarly grabbed him by the hair and climbed on top of his head.

Carmon's eyes changed slightly, and when he looked at the two of them again, he had a serious expression.

Actually, that's not the only reason. There's one more thing I want to protect.

"What are you protecting?" Luffy tilted his head curiously, and Carmon smiled.

"I haven't talked to a human in 20 years now. I want to ask you one thing.

"What's the matter? We'll help you if we can.

"Do you want us to help you out of the box?" Minghe also said.

"No, it's something else... We talked as we walked. Follow me.

With that, Carmon began to walk deeper into the forest.

The two of them hurriedly followed.

The animals didn't follow, they ran and played in the forest as they pleased.

The squirrel also jumped off the head of the explosion and didn't know where to run.

After leaving the clearing and entering the forest trail, visibility suddenly deteriorates.

There was grass all around, and Carmon was almost gone.

His huge green blast head could easily be mistaken for grass.

Only when he walks around can he be distinguished from the rest of the grass.

When it really hides and doesn't move, it can't be found.

Perhaps that's why Carmon was able to be the guardian of the forest.

Because he didn't have hands, he couldn't cut his hair, and his green hair, was useful.

The two walked behind him, careful not to lose his figure.

Carmon explained the current situation.

"I told you the story of me and this box."

"Oh. You fell off the rocks, didn't you?

"Yes, but there's a reason for that, I can't forget what I saw that day..."

Is it a treasure?

Carmon nodded, excitedly answering Luffy's question.

"Oh yes, I did, and that rock was the treasure we were looking for. We came to this island with a treasure map, and it has always been there. My companions searched for days and couldn't find it, but I found it!

"Since then, I've been protecting it for twenty years, to this day."

As he spoke, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was excited.

How long have you been waiting for this moment?

I'm waiting for someone willing to give me the treasure, instead of being stuck in a chest and not climbing the rock wall, watching someone else take the treasure.

These two must be the kind of people who are willing to give me the treasure.

Carmon's heart was excited, and his steps were faster.

Luffy and Aega also noticed the change in Carmon, and it seemed that he was looking forward to it.

"Finally, finally, my long-cherished wish has come true, and my treasure hunt is over today."

At the moment when Carmon muttered like this, the vision of the three of them instantly widened.

There is a huge rock in front.

It's quite tall and looks hard to climb.

Carmon stopped in front of the rock, lightly touched it with his palm, and whispered mysteriously.

"I haven't been here since that day. But no one has come near this place for twenty years, and the treasure must still be on this rock... Straw Hat Kid. "

Yes."

"You're a rubber guy, aren't you? You can go up there and get the treasure, right? "

Leave it to me!"

Luffy smiled and nodded, stretched out his right arm, and grabbed the top of the rock.

The arm shortened, pulled him up, and jumped straight to the top of the rock as if he were flying.

Carmon was overjoyed when he saw this, and the happy boxes jumped up.

"Thank you! I didn't expect such a day! "

Whew, that's wonderful, Mr. Carmon. You've been protecting it for a long time. Anyway, the treasure belonged to Mr. Carmon. Minghe said with a smile.

"Thank you. I can't thank you enough. "

You can't see Luffy from Araga and Carmon's location, and you can't see if there's a treasure chest.

After a while, the two saw Luffy standing on the edge of the rock.

He had a treasure chest in his hand, much to Carmon's delight.

"That's it. My treasure chest. Throw it down, but don't hit me.

Carmon happily held out his hand. However, Luffy just smiled.

"I refuse."

"Uh...?"

Mingga and Carmon were stunned.

Luffy's answer was obviously different from what the two had imagined.

The two were surprised and speechless for a moment, and were silent for a moment.

Mingga looked at Luffy in surprise and shouted, "Hey, Luffy, what are you talking about!?" That's Carmon's! Give it to him!

"Nope. I can't give this to him.

"Why...! You're not that kind of pirate——!

"That's enough. That's enough. Carmon was the first to shout at the two of them.

He could tell from Luffy's eyes that he really didn't want to give, but unlike Minghe thought, there were some other complicated things in it.

Carmon glanced at the distraught Mingga and looked up at Luffy's face.

"Straw Hat Kid... You're a good guy. "

Huh...?"

"I don't know, maybe it's possible ... I felt it, and I tried not to think about it that way. Well, if it's really like I thought, then you don't have to give it anymore.

Carmon said with tears streaming down her face.

Carmon could no longer look up and lowered his gaze, large tears streaming from his eyes.

"Isn't it...? What's inside..."

"Uh——?"

Luffy sat cross-legged with a treasure chest at his feet.

Mingga looked up to see if this was true, and Luffy nodded quietly.

"yes... It's all empty.

"But Carmon has been guarding it for twenty years."

"It's not uncommon for treasures to have treasure maps...! It's just that when you get the treasure map and come here, the treasure has already been taken..."

Tears flowed uncontrollably, and Carmon lost control of her emotions.

Carmon covered her face with her hands and continued to cry.

There is no way to know whether he has a sense of loss or regret in his heart.

It's sad that twenty years of anticipation have come to be like this.

Minghe, who felt that the world was complicated and inexplicable, also lowered his head with a sad expression.

Luffy looked down at the two of them, rubbed his nose with his fingers, and chuckled.

"Hahahaha! It's a pity, it's a pity, old man, but it can't be helped, if you don't want to be stupid again, find a dress. "

A piece of clothing...?"

"Old man, come with us to be a pirate, and let's go on an adventure on the Great Voyage together."

"You... Did you invite me like that?

Carmon wiped her tears from the back of her hand and whispered.

"Thank you...", this inviting sentence completely warmed Carmon.

Returning to a small clearing in the middle of the forest, Carmon declined the invitation.

Staying on the island, it was his decision.

The treasure chest that had been guarded for twenty years was empty.

This shocked him, but he did not forget that there were other important things on the island.

They are rare beasts that have always lived with Carmon.

Carmon had made up her mind to continue to protect them.

He had a sunny expression on his face and a clear smile.

"Oh. Well, sorry for the trip in vain, it's over, and I don't have to think about that treasure anymore. From now on, I will live for them.

"We get along very well."

"Because of the old man, I am also a rare beast."

Carmon looked like he had let go of the treasure and smiled lightly.

"You're here to gather food, aren't you? You can't hunt animals on this island, but there's a lot of fruit, so you can take as much as you want.

"Are you sure?" Luffy tilted his head and said, "Doesn't Carmon eat this too?" "

It's okay, the fruit is everywhere, and it grows fast, it doesn't matter how much you take."

"You're a good old man."

"Go find the two of them to help, they must still be resting by the sea."

Hearing Minghe's words, Luffy nodded, turned around and left.

"Alright, then I'll call them."

He had a confident smile on his face, but Minghe hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"Wait a minute, Luffy, they're not over there. in this direction. "
