Chapter 104: Lost and Harmed Three Sages

Zoro touched his head, cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't dare to look back at the two people behind him.

Ah Jin covered his face, not wanting to look at the two people in front of him. He turned to look at the street behind him and said calmly, "There are too many people on the street. Should we go back to the ship and wait for them?"

"Yeah. Let's go find a restaurant and a clothing store. Luffy will definitely dine at the restaurant, and Nami will go to the clothing store. As for Sanji, he will either follow Nami or Vivi. Ace should stay with Luffy, and Vivi will invite Luffy to the restaurant. In short, if we find a restaurant, we will most likely find them." Yun Tianxiang supported himself on the wall, and he followed Zoro all the way.

They agreed that one person would watch one person to avoid getting separated on the street. Zoro watched Luffy and the others (Luffy's iconic straw hat and Sanji's golden hair), and Yun Tianxiang specifically watched Zoro's green head.

As the Four Emperors' Pet Fighting Competition was being held, too many people came, and this port city obviously did not have the capacity to handle so many people.

Therefore, the streets were crowded with people. This was an idea proposed to prevent people from getting separated, but in the end, they did not expect that they would still get separated from the main group.

So, Sauron, what exactly are you walking on? Yun Tianxiang was crying in his heart.

Zoro turned around awkwardly and shouted, "Yo, let's go find a restaurant."

~~~~Gorgeous transition line~~~

Luffy and others, led by Vivi, came to a large luxurious restaurant in Tamarisk.

A large number of people gathered in the restaurant, but most of them were wealthy people who came here after hearing the news.

"Have you heard? The investor of this pet fighting competition is the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock!!!"

"I heard it, I heard it. It is said that she defeated Big Mom and became one of the Four Emperors!!!"

"I'm so excited. I actually have a chance to see the most beautiful woman in the world!!!"

"It is said that if you win the championship, you will not only get 10 billion Baileys, but you will also be granted amnesty and be allowed to go to Daughter Island!!!"

"Really? Then I'm going to participate in this tournament too!!"

"The competition is scheduled to be held in ten days. Do you have any beasts for the battle?"

"Ten days, ten days is enough!!"

Among the arguments between the rich, nine out of ten mentioned the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock. This aroused the curiosity of Luffy from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Luffy listened to everyone's discussion, looked at Nami and asked, "What are those guys talking about?"

When Nami heard Luffy's question, she and the others looked at Luffy in silence, "Luffy, have you forgotten why Hancock stopped us?"

"What is it?" Luffy asked in a silly and cute voice while eating the food on the table in big mouthfuls.

Usopp picked up the fork and stabbed a roll of ramen, "Luffy, have you forgotten? The prize money for the competition was the 10 billion Baileys that the navy was supposed to pay us, but now she has taken it away as the prize money!!!"

Sanji stretched out his hand and slapped Luffy's malicious hand away, looking at Luffy fiercely: "Luffy! You still have some in your bowl! Really."

"Is that so?" Luffy withdrew his hand in dismay, and repeated stupidly, "Those 10 billion Baileys are actually ours!?"

Ace asked curiously, "What did you do? Why did the Navy pay you 10 billion Baileys?"

"This is what happened." Nami explained to Ace at this time.

The explanation took about half an hour.

During this time, Weiwei kept getting up and looking at the store door, but there was no sign of Yun Tianxiang and the other two.

After listening to Nami's explanation, Ace's originally joyful smile gradually froze. He looked at Nami and asked seriously: "Ms. Nami, you mean you saw your deceased adoptive mother, right?"

Nami nodded and whispered, "Yeah."

Sanji said at this time: "I saw my mother."

Usopp followed Sanji and shouted, "Me too, me too, I saw my mother too."

"Luffy. It's so good to see you again." Ace hugged Luffy and burst into tears.

"Hey. Ace. What's wrong? Why is it so sudden?" Luffy looked at Ace crying, feeling a little uncomfortable and confused.

Sanji was sensitive. He looked at Ace and asked, "Luffy's brother. Is that secret place dangerous?"

Hearing Sanji's voice, Ace remembered that this was the dining place. He slowly let go of Luffy and wiped his tears with Nami's white skirt. Nami screamed and took back the skirt.

Ace looked at everyone with a serious face at this time, "That's a legend. Every year, a group of people on the sea will obtain a treasure map through different methods. Those who obtain the treasure map will enter a space surrounded by a ball of light on a full moon night. Every year, only a very few people who enter the ball of light come out alive. And those who come out alive insist that they have seen the deceased. One of my crew members once got a treasure map like that. It was on a full moon night, and the circle of light suddenly appeared."

"And then?" Nami and Usopp showed fear in their eyes.

"We couldn't enter the aperture, but he woke up safely the next day. But not long after, just as my crew and I were about to set sail to leave the island, he shot himself in front of us. He said his life was complete and asked me to forgive him." Ace said this with a lingering feeling, and he seemed to be hesitating about something.

Ace's tone turned a little more serious, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

Weiwei asked fearfully, "What happens next?"

Ace's gaze seemed to have seen through the years and returned to the past. "On that full-moon night, it wasn't just my crew that entered the light circle, but also a large number of villagers and livestock on the island. Without exception, they all lost their lives the next day. It was like their souls had been taken away from them, and they were trapped somewhere and couldn't come back."

"Could it be that those people were killed in the secret realm?" Nami covered her mouth, recalling the tragic battle at that time.

Ace shook his head. "Probably not. I later visited some people who came out alive from the light circle. It seems that they were unable to participate in the trial and were left in that world forever. They called it the trial place leading to the Land of the Underworld and the Land of Cold."

"The Country of Cold. I remember Tianxiang's companion seemed to tell us that the secret place was a palace built by someone from the Country of Cold." Sanji lit a cigarette at this time.

Usopp and Nami nodded, confirming Sanji's words.

"Anyway, Luffy. It's a blessing that you can come back safely." Ace moved the barbecue on his plate in front of Luffy.

Luffy finished the barbecue with a smile, "Haha. Really? It seems like we are very lucky."

Everyone looked at Luffy lovingly, revealing a casual smile from the bottom of their hearts, which was considered as an acknowledgement of Luffy's words.

"But speaking of which, have you seen Yun Tianxiang?"

After everyone finished their meal, Usopp realized that a few people seemed to be missing.

Weiwei noticed at this time that Zoro seemed to be gone too, "Mr. Bushido doesn't seem to be here either."

Sanji blew out a puff of smoke, "Gin is gone too."

Nami covered her face speechlessly, "Could it be that those guys got lost following Zoro?"

~~Excellent transition~~~

Under the leadership of Yun Tianxiang, the group of three found an ordinary restaurant. The flow of people in this restaurant was ten times more than that of the restaurant where Luffy was!

Sauron and Yun Tianxiang saw two people here whom they extremely didn't want to see.

Dashigi: "Nonoroa Zoro!!!"

Peacock: "Little Yun Tianxiang~"
