Chapter 591 Archaeologist

...

"Wuwuwu! Hey Zoro, don't abandon me~! I'm afraid of ghosts!"

Chopper cried while hugging Zoro's thighs tightly.

"Hey, let go of me, Chopper. There's no ghost here. I came here alone!"

Zoro grabbed the fur on Chopper's back and tried to pull it off but found that it was sticky like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be pulled off.

"Hehe, are you really pirates? How interesting!"

The woman said with a chuckle.

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound.

The woman slowly turned around, raised her hand to hold down her cowboy hat, and said with a smile.

"You are quite capable of discovering such hidden ruins. Are you professional tomb robbers?"

"Hahahaha, I discovered it. How about I'm awesome, right?"

Luffy said proudly.

"But why did the tomb robber bring a pet raccoon cat? Is it a gold-hunting animal?"

"Hey! I'm not a raccoon cat! I'm a reindeer! A reindeer!"

Upon hearing this, Chopper immediately overcame his fear and stood up to refute.

"Oh? A talking raccoon cat? It's pretty cute!"

"Damn it! I won't be happy even if you praise me like that! No! I told you I'm not a raccoon cat, look at the horns on my head!"

Chopper pointed at the small deer antlers on his head and shouted unhappily.

"We are not tomb robbers, we are pirates! My name is Luffy, and I am the man who is going to find the great secret treasure and become the Pirate King."

Luffy shouted out his life motto loudly.

"Really? To become the Pirate King's...man? That's a great dream!"

The black-haired woman covered her lips lightly and smiled sinisterly.

"So you are pirates. What a pity! There are only some historical relics that are of no value to you. There is no treasure you want."

"I see. That's really a headache. I thought there would be something interesting. There's nothing I can do. Let's go, Zoro, Chopper."

Luffy listened to the advice and was about to turn back, but Zoro stood up and said.

"Hey, how can we be sure that what you said is true, you are a suspicious woman? You seem to be very happy, maybe you found some precious treasure and want to send us away quickly!"

"Mr. Swordsman, why are you so wary of a weak woman like me who is all alone?"

"Tsk! Because you're not weak at all!"

As Zoro said this, he held his two swords and stared at the other person.

The black-haired woman gently placed her hand on the huge square stone tablet behind her and spoke calmly.

"Haha, what I meant is that there is no treasure you like, and I am an archaeologist. These ancient relics and this historical text are the most precious treasures to me! Of course I will be happy! If you are also interested in archaeology, we can have a discussion."

Zoro sheathed his sword and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Let's get out quickly, Luffy, Chopper, or we won't be able to join them!"

"Alright, watch me! Move!"

"and many more!!"

The black-haired woman hurriedly called out to Luffy who was waving his fists and made a request.

"Can you please be careful when you leave here and don't destroy these ancient monuments? They are precious treasures belonging to all mankind."

"You are such a bother! Well, since they are precious treasures you have found."

Luffy was somewhat reluctant, but he agreed reluctantly.

...

After leaving the ruins, thanks to Chopper's keen sense of smell, the two finally joined up with the main group. After a short rest, they boarded the moving crab and prepared to set off for the capital city of Arubana. Suddenly, a golden hook flew from behind! In the surprised eyes of everyone, it accurately hooked Princess Weiwei and was about to take her away directly.

"Damn it! It's that bastard who played with the sand!"

Luffy immediately rushed forward to rescue Vivi and threw her to Zoro, while he grabbed the hook and quickly ran away.

"Luffy!"

"You go first!"

"We promised to send Weiwei home safely, so you two must send each other off safely! I can take care of this alone!"

Luffy shouted with a smile.

"That idiot!"

Zoro couldn't help but curse, then turned around and said.

"Let's go! Let's keep going!"

"What? Luffy! Him! We can't leave him alone!"

Weiwei shouted loudly with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, Vivi, that guy will be fine. We should be worried about the enemy. After all, all the guys Luffy has targeted so far have been beaten away by him without exception!"

Nami consoled.

"But! The opponent is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Hey! Listen carefully, Vivi."

Zoro said seriously.

"Leave Crocodile to Luffy! This is the captain's decision! The rebels are about to attack the capital Aruba. The life of this country has entered a countdown. If you are the hope to stop this war, then live well! Next, no matter what happens to anyone among us, you don't care, just do what you should do! Do you understand?"

"How can this be..."

Sanji lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.

"Vivi, your war with this criminal organization has already begun since you sneaked into Baroque Studio to investigate! However, now it is a war between the Straw Hat Pirates, the beautiful princess, and Baroque Studio! You are no longer fighting alone."

"Yes! That's right, don't worry, Vivi, Chopper and I are here! Don't worry!"

Usopp patted his chest and assured guiltily.

"Everyone…"

Weiwei's eyes gradually became determined. She raised her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly at the receding figure.

"Luffy! We're waiting for you in Arubana! You must come back!"

"I see!!"

Luffy shouted back.

The sound was quickly drowned out by the endless yellow sand.

"You're a little too noisy! Straw Hat Luffy."

Crocodile bit his cigar and spoke in a calm tone.

"It's really a headache. That guy is so weak but still wants to save everyone. He often feels pain because of this, but he still hopes that no one will die in this rebellion."

Luffy talked to himself.

"Don't want people to die? Ha, you're just a naive fool. What does she think war is? Is it just playing house? As a pirate, you don't think so, do you? Straw Hat Boy!"

"Yeah! That's right! So I'm going to finish you off right here!"

"Hehehe!"

"That's so boring. It turns out he's just a hopeless idiot. I had hope for that."
