Chapter 47 The Grand Route

"My name is Gaimon."

"Do you know the bitterness of me being stuck in a box and living alone on this isolated island for 20 years?!"

As mentioned last time, Bai Lun, Luffy and the others met a strange man stuck in a box on an isolated island. After his introduction, he turned out to be Gaimon.

Bai Yun said that he really couldn't remember it. He knew the name, but he didn't remember it.

........

"How can a person survive on an isolated island for 20 years!!"

Nami expressed shock.

Luffy, he is Luffy after all.

"Like a fool."

Bai Yun nodded in agreement. Although it was really pitiful, he did look like a fool.

"Assholes! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Gaimon opened his mouth and shouted, two unsympathetic bastards.

"Well, in more than 20 years, my hair and beard have become so thick, even my eyebrows have grown together."

Gaimon sighed, saying that he was not alone for more than 20 years was a lie. After finally meeting Luffy and the others, some words came out of his mouth automatically.

Luffy dodged to Gaimon's side, stepped on the edge of the box, and grabbed Gaimon's head with both hands to pull him out of the box.

It was also out of good intentions, but Gaimon was so painful that he almost cried.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!!"

"Stop! Stop it!!"

Gaimon shouted.

When he couldn't pull it out, Luffy gave up.

"It's stuck too hard."

Gaimon breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! In 20 years, my bones have grown together with the box. Don't tell me. If the box is gone, I will have to go with it."

"By the way, how did you get to this island?"

Nami asked.

"You said you are pirates?"

Gaimon didn't know whether it was an answer or not.

"Well, there is another friend who is watching the boat."

Bai Yun nodded and replied.

"A pirate."

"I was also a pirate before. I really miss the days before. It was so joyful to look for treasures on the sea without any worries."

"Do you have a treasure map?"

Gaimon thought that Luffy also went to sea for the treasure, so he asked him if he had a treasure map.

"I have a chart of the Grand Line."

"I want to get 'ONE PIECE'."

Luffy openly stated his goal.

Gaimon expressed shock, as did everyone else who heard it.

Luffy showed the sea chart to Gaimon.

“Which one is the ‘Grand Line’?”

"Hey, uncle, you don't know?"

"Because I can't read charts at all, hahaha."

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Nami and Bai Yun shook their heads. Is this what two pirates should say?

Nami stepped forward and brought the sea chart over and explained the distribution of the pirate world to the two of them.

"There are two ocean worlds in this world."

"The continent that divides the sea into two is called the Red Continent."

"The route that starts from its small town and goes vertically around the world in the Red Continent is called the 'Grand Route'."

"That's right."

After Nami explained, Luffy sighed. Bai Yun had the right to suspect that Luffy didn't understand at all.

As a pirate, Gaimon is a senior, although he is not a senior worth learning from.

He said that he had seen people who came back from the Grand Line before, and they were all as lost as if they had lost their souls.

Tell Luffy and the others not to underestimate the Grand Line. After all, it is known as the pirate graveyard.

But Luffy is still optimistic. Things arise to be solved, and there will always be a way to solve them.

........

"So, having said that, what does this have to do with you staying on the island, uncle?"

Bai Yun brought the topic back.

"It has something to do with it."

"I was also a pirate 20 years ago, and I came to this island with my friends."

"I searched for three days but didn't find any treasure. When I finally left, I found that there was a hill we had never been to, so I asked my friends to get on the boat and wait for me."

"I climbed up with all my strength, and sure enough, there were five treasure chests on the top."

"But fate made me slip and fall from the top. I was stuck in the box below. When I woke up, my partner was gone."

Gaimon told his story, not sure if it was bad luck or good luck.

He didn't die after falling from a hillside, but he was stuck in a box. He stayed stuck like this for 20 years.

........

Being sensitive about money, Nami immediately offered to help Gaimon get the treasure chest.

When they reached the bottom of the hillside, Bai Yun and Luffy used their rubber fruit powers to extend their arms and instantly reached the top.

Bai Yun already remembered what this was about.

Looking at the five treasure chests, he didn't move, still standing on the edge of the cliff.

Luffy opened the boxes excitedly, opening them one by one. His excitement was worn away time and time again, but he still walked to the edge of the cliff with a smile.

"There is a treasure chest, and there are 5 more, hahaha."

Luffy shouted with a smile.

Gaimon and Nami excitedly asked him to throw the box down, but Luffy uncharacteristically refused.

"I do not!"

"What! What do you mean! Luffy! Bai Yun, please take care of him!"

Nami shouted that the treasure was right in front of her, so there was no reason not to take it.

But Gamon was in tears.

"Knew it."

"You two boys are good people."

"I have guessed it, but I just don't want to admit it."

"Those five boxes must be empty!!"

After shouting these last words, Gaimon burst into tears.
