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

"It's impossible, everyone else has tried to find it, but they can't find it..."

You're going too. You're a pirate now, too. "

No.." Just when Mulong wanted to refuse, Luffy's right arm reached out, wrapped around his stomach, and grabbed him firmly.

Without thinking about it, Luffy's left hand stretched out, and in a blink of an eye, it became more than ten meters long, crossed the waterfall, and grabbed the rocky area inside the cave.

The outstretched left arm quickly retracted, and the two bodies left their footing like bullets.

Mu Long's eyes widened, a little frightened.

They faced the wall of water that fell straight down, crashed into it and rushed over.

As a result of rushing through the waterfall, the dragon was soaked in dry clothes and all over.

Tumbling, when the momentum wanes, the body stops.

The dragon was in great pain because he was hit all over by the current.

Luffy put his arm around him, and the dragon lay on his back, sighing deeply.

"Please, consider that I don't have a Devil Fruit....."

"Shhh Now, where is the treasure?"

Luffy stood up slightly, walking with pleasant steps towards the depths of the cave.

Mu Long was helpless, endured the pain in his body, and followed him.

However, Mulong faintly felt as if he was enjoying this unexpected development in his heart.

Maybe it's because I haven't had such an experience since I was a child.

It seems that he is also the kind of person who enjoys adventure.

The cave wasn't that big, just wide enough for two people to walk.

Although the light is dim, the light flows between the two and is not completely invisible, Luffy's back can be clearly seen, and it is not difficult to catch up.

Because it's a straight road, there's no chance of getting lost.

It is about a few tens of meters deep, and in less than a minute, it reaches the deepest point.

Even in dim light, they could see what was there clearly.

The stunned two opened their mouths wide.

"Wow!"

"This is—"

It was a skeleton wrapped in tattered clothes, slumped on the ground.

At first glance, you can tell that the time is a long time, and the bones are covered with moss.

The skeleton was alone in a dark cave for many years.

The two of them did not have the slightest fear in their hearts, and looked at each other.

"Poor fellow, he died so alone. No one will find him, he died in a strange place. "

I want to know what he's doing here.

"Lost like us, or treasure hunting, or stowaways, criminals?" said

the dragon, taking a step closer, bending his knees, his hands on the bones, rummaging through his tattered clothes.

Luffy looked at it curiously, didn't mean to crouch, just asked,

"What are you doing?"

"I wonder why he's here."

The dragon muttered nonchalantly and observed.

Strangely, there was no disgust in his heart.

When the dragon reached into the inside pocket of the skull jacket, he noticed something.

The dragon took it out, and it was an old piece of parchment.

They then found a pistol and a broken compass.

The dragon put them on the ground and stood up with only the parchment.

When Mulong opened the folded parchment, Luffy glanced back with interest.

It looks like a map of some island.

Panorama of the island from the air and four markers indicating something.

This could be something similar to a treasure map.

"Oh, what is this? Is it a treasure map?" Luffy's eyes lit up.

"It seems so, you see, this beach is probably where we washed ashore. "

You know?" "You can

roughly understand by looking at the terrain, that is, this must be a map of the island we are on now." "

It's just a guess.... Huh?" Luffy reacted immediately, pointing to the map.

"Markered, hehe, isn't this a treasure?"

"I don't know. Not necessarily. Mulong shook his head.

"Well, there are four of them, and one of them must have a treasure!"

"No, I'm afraid it's not that easy, there must be some other tricks." "

Why?"

"It's like hiding treasure in a cave behind a waterfall, it won't be that simple.

"Oh, I understand.

Mulong took Luffy's hand and walked out.

As a result, the head was watered a lot, but Mulong didn't care anymore.

He was engrossed in the map he found.

Walking outside, as soon as he landed on the ground, Mulong couldn't wait to unfold the map.

It's a little wet, but it's fine.

The sturdy parchment still shows a panoramic view of the island and four signs.

"It looks like an island. If you wish, you can walk around in one day.

Luffy stood beside the dragon, looked at the map, and said as he pointed his finger.

"Well, what's that?"

"This kind of map doesn't directly indicate the location of the treasure, and it may just be a hint. For example, if you look at this sign in the bottom right corner, this is probably where we are now, we are walking from the beach. Looking at the distance and then at the surrounding scenery, it's almost certain.

"Great, Mulong, I don't understand this kind of thing. Luffy complimented.

"There is indeed a cave behind the waterfall, but there is nothing there. Theoretically, there should be no treasure among these four signs. "

Hmm?"

"For example...."

Wrangling raised his arms, tilted his head, and smiled wryly at Luffy's face, apparently Luffy didn't understand what he meant, while Ryu picked up a fallen branch nearby.

Then, scrape off the dirt and start writing.

Four circles, drawn on the ground behind.

"There are four markers, and they're all drawn at equal intervals, something like this. "

The tips of the branches lay across the ground, extending lines from the four circles.

When all the lines intersect.

A cross is naturally drawn in the center of the four circles.

Luffy's smile suddenly brightened, as if he realized something.

"Oh!"

"It seems that where the lines extending from the four markers intersect, it is likely that the treasure is buried." "

Is that so?" Mulong, do you know this place?"

"It's just speculation, but it's probably so. Judging from the distance, it's not too far away from us!"

"Okay, let's go!Go get the treasure!"

"Okay." Mu Long couldn't help but smile.

Luffy triumphantly began to walk, with the dragon following behind.

Looking at the map and looking for their destination, the two walked through the forest again.

Pushing through the dense grass, stepping on the hard ground, and walking a path steeper than the river.

The hot weather made the two start to sweat.

However, clothes wet by the waterfall bring a cool feeling.

It's fun to venture out in a strange land, Mulong thought to himself.

"Ah, there's a fruit tree here, do you want to eat it?" Luffy asked.

"We should focus on risk-taking.

"You can't concentrate when you're hungry.

"Even though I ate so much just now, I seem to be hungry again.

"Then I'll eat it too."

Luffy stretched out his right hand, grabbed the fruits from the top of the tree one by one, and held it in his left hand.

It wasn't until a pile had passed that he stopped picking it up, and Luffy picked one up and threw it to the dragon.

Luffy hurriedly began to eat.

Mu Long looked at it and began to eat it as well.

Crisp sound.

The sweet juice spreads in the mouth, and the sweetness and umami arrive at the same time, quenching the thirst.

"I thought my stomach was full, but I didn't think it would be good to eat two more.

After thanking Luffy, Mulong took the lead again.

Because Luffy said: he can't read the map.
