The next day, when the sun slowly rose from the sea level, a dilapidated ship appeared in the sea off Sentin Island.
And on this ship, there is a black pirate flag, and the unique pattern of three side-by-side skulls indicates that this is the ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.
However, at this time, the whole group of the Blackbeard Pirates were lying on the deck of the ship with their backs stretched out.
Titch, Van Oka, Lafayette, Burgess, and Poison Q, all of them were disheveled, weak, and looked like they were dying.
This is completely in stark contrast to the high-spirited appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates when they embarked on the great voyage.
Why do the Blackbeard Pirates look like this? This matter started after they left Drum Island.
Although they did walk ahead of Ian and the others, so that they missed Ian and the others on Magnetic Drum Island, but from the fourth day after leaving Magnetic Drum Island, the Blackbeard Pirates encountered a group of people on the sea. A special stormy weather.
It was unfortunate to say that in the sea area they passed by, the Blackbeard Pirates encountered a sea storm. If it was just a storm, then it would be fine, but at that time, a volcano suddenly erupted under the sea surface Erupt!
A large amount of submarine volcanic ash was washed out of the sea from the erupting volcano from under the sea surface, mixed with countless large and small volcanic rocks, and when these volcanic rocks and volcanic ash rushed into the sky, they just combined with the storm.
The climate of mudslides, dare you believe it!
During that storm and heavy rain, it not only had a strong smell of sulfur, but also formed a large amount of mud falling from the sky, and the ship of the Blackbeard Pirates was smashed right away!
The ship of the Blackbeard Pirates was almost buried at that time. If Blackbeard hadn't used his dark fruit ability to desperately absorb the mud and rocks that fell from the sky, the big villain of the Pirate World might not have I'm about to pick up the lunch box in advance...
The Blackbeard Pirates, in such a harsh climate, were stimulated by the strong smell of sulfur to tears and runny noses, while desperately manipulating the ship to find a place to land, trying to avoid this weird mudslide storm.
Maybe it’s because the sky is endless, the Blackbeard Pirates finally found the nearest piece of land, when this piece of land appeared, Tiki and the others were so excited that their parents didn’t know each other, they didn’t care if the land was What, so he pulled the boat closer.
After arriving on this piece of land, Tiqi and the others discovered that it was a bare piece of land, and there was no uninhabited island on it. Although they felt a little strange, they still hurried ashore.
This is the subconscious behavior of navigators in a stormy climate. Even if there is no place on this land that can shelter them from the mudslide storm, they still do this. After all, the sense of security brought by being down-to-earth is incomparable on board. Tiqi is also a Devil Fruit user, and he is also afraid that after the boat is destroyed by mudslides, he will fall into the sea and die.
After landing on the shore, Tiqi and the others found a place where they could hide a little bit, braving the rocks and mud that fell from the sky, and hid there for more than two hours.
After the weird mudslide storm finally subsided, the five members of the Blackbeard Pirates came out tremblingly like pigs who had fallen into the mud.
Under such a storm, people's physical strength is exhausted. They are tired and hungry, and they want to go back to the shore to see if the boat is okay, then go up to take a bath and get some food.
As a result, Tiqi and the others were all stupid when they came to the shore!
Their boat is gone!
It wasn't destroyed by the mudslide storm, but... really disappeared!
Because when they left the ship, they anchored the ship. If the ship was really destroyed by the storm, then no matter what, there should be debris on the nearby sea, right? But in front of Tiqi and the others, there is nothing but a smooth sea...
"Where's Lao Tzu's boat!?" Tiqi stared at the sea with his eyes wide open. It's impossible for someone to steal their boat under such a mudslide storm, right
But at this moment, Lafayette suddenly noticed something was wrong, and said to Tiqi: "Captain, have you noticed... the island under our feet seems to be moving?..."
When everyone heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, looked at their feet, then looked at the sea surface, compared with the surrounding reference objects, and found that what Lafayette said seemed to be true, the island was actually slowing down. moving slowly.
Tiki was taken aback. Could it be that he accidentally climbed onto the back of a sea king
The five people stayed in place carefully for a while, but they didn't find any sign of activity of the "sea kings" under their feet. The movement of the island seemed to be just drifting with the current.
Fan Oka suddenly remembered something, and said to Tiqi: "Captain, do you still remember the rumors I heard on this route before? It is said that somewhere on this route, there is a species called 'Island Eater'." A huge monster, its size is so huge that it can swallow a small island in one gulp, and the excrement excreted after it digests is also very huge, it will form islands floating on the sea, drifting slowly into the distance with the ocean current... "
Hearing what he said, Tiqi came back to his senses, and said in disbelief: "You mean, the island under our feet belongs to that island eater..."
Fan Aoka nodded and said: "If there is no other reason, then I guess it is. Our ship did not float away, but we 'floated away'!"
Yes, this can indeed explain why their boat disappeared. The boat was anchored and should still be there. On the contrary, they were on the island, so they followed the island and left for two hours. previous location.
Two hours is not long, but the problem is that in the vast sea, they don't know which direction the island is drifting away from, so naturally they don't know which direction the boat is, and they can't find it even if they want to swim back. …
After hearing the news, Tiqi almost vomited blood. They rushed off the boat without any food or water, and now they are trapped on this drifting 'poo'.
Voyagers are most afraid of encountering this kind of situation, but they are met by Tiqi and the others.
As a last resort, they had to wait to see if there were any passing ships, and wanted to wait for others to rescue them.
As a result, it took more than ten days to wait!
This is why the Blackbeard Pirates left Drum Island before Ian and the others, but ended up falling behind Ian and the others.
During these ten days, the gang of Blackbeard Pirates can be said to be the most miserable time. There are no plants or animals on this poop island, so during these ten days, Tichi and the others can only get food to satisfy their hunger by catching fish from the sea and by van Oka shooting down birds flying in the sky with a gun.
Food is secondary, and the most important thing is drinking water. They dug a lot of holes on the poop island, just waiting for the rain to get some fresh water to drink.
After all, the Blackbeard Pirates should die. After more than ten days, Tiki and the others did not encounter any ships passing by, but I don’t know if the wind direction has changed. This poop island is a coincidence. The ground was blown back again, and when Tiqi and the others saw the shadow of a ship appearing on the distant sea, they were so excited that they almost jumped up.
However, when they got closer, they realized that the ship was actually their original ship!
This ship was not destroyed in the mudslide storm. Although it was smashed to pieces, at least it was still able to sail. Because it was anchored, it still stayed where it was, and was eventually found by the Blackbeard Pirates. came back!
But... Tiqi wished he had to get it back!
Why? Because these ten days had passed, the food and drinking water they had stored on the boat had all become moldy and rotten, and the whole boat was filled with a stench.
It's better not to find it...
When they were on Poop Island, Tiki and the others got intermittent food, and now even if they got their boat back, there was no food or water on board. At this moment, all the Blackbeard Pirates People's hearts are full of despair.
The originally sick Reaper Poison Q now feels like he is really about to die...
But there was no way, Titch and the others could only control the ship, left this sea area, and headed towards Alabasta.
"Damn it, when you arrive in Alabasta, the first thing you have to do is to eat hard!"
The five members of the Blackbeard Pirates, who were sallow and emaciated from hunger, all had the same idea at this time.
It was in this situation that the Blackbeard Pirates finally approached Sentin Island, and when they saw the real land appeared in the distance, Tiqi and his group exhausted their last bit of strength and stood up Come and look at the island ahead.
When he arrived at the port, Tiqi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Hurry up! Get off the boat! I'm going to take all the food in this city!"
However, when Tiqi and his group jumped off the boat full of joy and wanted to rush towards the city, with the sound of jingling bells, a group of figures suddenly appeared and blocked them.
"Yo, Tiki, long time no see!"
Ian was still the same, standing upright with the handle of the Senben Sakura knife on his waist, but with a smile on his face, he looked at Tiqi who was like an African refugee with a smile, and said, "What's wrong with you?" ? Are you also playing non-mainstream?”
Tiqi dared to swear by God, this is the greeting he has never heard, and the last greeting he wants to hear...
