Chapter 48 Buy the whole world
The treasure chest I was looking forward to for 20 was empty.
This feeling of disparity is enough to kill a person.
But as time passed, Gaimeng guessed that the treasure chest might be empty, but he just didn't want to believe it.
But as soon as he cried, those animals came out of the forest psychically, gathered around him and screamed, as if to tell Gaimon that his past 20 years were not in vain. It was not a joke, but them. "god".
Gaimon stared at the animals blankly.
At first, he guarded the forest and the rare animals on the island with the idea that if he couldn't get the treasure box, others would also get it.
Before he knew it, 20 years had passed. Looking at these animals, Guyon seemed to understand that the real treasure was not necessarily just the five "Schrödinger's Treasure Boxes", but his experience, and what was under his protection. All the rare animals that survived and regarded him as a "god".
........
"Compared to these treasure chests, I think these rare animals are more like treasures. Your treasures, Uncle Gaimon."
Bai Yun stood on the edge of the top of the hillside, looking down with his arms folded, looking at Gaimeng who was surrounded by "ten thousand" beasts and trying to persuade him.
Luffy sat down directly, his legs dangling in the air, "Hahahaha."
"Bai Yun is right, uncle, don't get carried away. Didn't you wait for me for 20 years?"
"If we hadn't come, you might have had to wait 30, 40 years."
"Maybe I won't be able to wait until death."
"You have been waiting for so long, and you should wait for us to find the big secret treasure! Come to the sea with us!"
Luffy sent out an invitation. He didn't care about the age or gender of his friends when he invited them, he only cared about whether the other party was "interesting".
"Are you...are you inviting me? Straw Hat..."
Gaimon also couldn't believe it. The invitation from the pirates after 20 years really made people feel how time flies.
........
"Have you really decided? Uncle, you want to stay on this island."
The scene changed and the four of them were back at the beach, with Zoro still sleeping.
Nami went to untie the rope, while Bai Yun asked Gaimon who rejected Luffy's invitation.
"Well, thank you for inviting me. I have decided to stay as the [Guardian of the Forest]."
"I have fallen in love with these animals after 20 years of being together. Long-haired boy, you are right. It has been 20 years. These rare animals that I have protected are my real treasures."
"I'm going to stay and protect them."
"Hey, it's really strange. There is no treasure box. I'm not sad at all. Instead, I feel relaxed."
Uncle Gaimon is also a free and easy man. If he were 20 years older, he would indeed be a good partner and good friend of Luffy and the others.
Facing the sea breeze, Gaimeng looked cool and handsome, but Luffy's words broke his guard.
"Hahaha, uncle is also a rare animal."
"I kill you!!"
Gaimon suddenly shouted loudly with his fangs exposed.
"What a pity. It's rare for you to be so humorous, uncle."
"Yes, it's a pity that traveling on the sea is not suitable for pets."
Bai Yun replied, why does Gaimeng feel a little weird?
Gaimon:..........
"I mean these animals. I originally wanted to keep them, but it seems that nature is more suitable for them than on the ship."
Bai Yun immediately explained. Although he did think Gaimon was a rare "animal" like Luffy, how could he say it so straightforwardly?
"Hahaha."
"Okay, let's go to sea quickly, it will get dark if we wait any longer."
"You will definitely find a good partner!!"
"You have to find ONE PIECE and buy the whole world, Straw Hat."
"I certainly will."
"Goodbye."
After bidding farewell to Gaimon, Luffy and Bai Yun set off on their journey again.
The two boats slowly sailed away, and Gaimon led a group of animals to see them off on the shore.
The animals behind Gaimeng suddenly bowed neatly in the direction of Bai Yun and the others.
This bow came suddenly, and I didn't know who it was for.
.........
"Goo~"
"very hungry!!!"
These days when going out to sea, the most common thing Luffy said was that he was so hungry.
"There's nothing we can do. Even if there are fish, we can't grill them on this small boat."
"Didn't Uncle Gaimon give us a lot of fruit? You can eat the fruit pad first."
Bai Yun was already fishing. On such a narrow boat, there was nothing else to do except fishing.
"Well, I think Bai Yun is right."
"Is it really okay to just enter the Grand Line?"
"That's a place with a pirate graveyard. It would be a bit risky for us to rely on these two small broken boats."
"Well, going south from here, there is a small town. Let's go there first and see if we can get a big boat."
Nami suggested after taking out the chart and looking at it.
"I have no opinion."
Bai Yun replied, "Of course I have no objection. The Melly cannot be missed."
Zoro was still doing push-ups and didn't answer.
"Okay!! Meat! Meat! Meat!!"
And Luffy's focus is on the meat in the town, not the boat.
