One Piece: Hashirama Template, Joins the Straw Hat Pirates Chapter 036

Time came to the next morning, everyone got up and ate breakfast, resting on the deck.

Sanji said unhappily, “Why hasn’t Nami-chan gotten up for breakfast yet? Does she not like my cooking anymore, boohoo~~”

Upon hearing Sanji’s words, Liu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought, “This is bad.” Nami might still have been bitten by a poisonous insect. He quickly told Vivi to go to Nami’s room to check.

“Princess Vivi, please go to Nami’s room and see if Nami is sick, quickly.” Liu Qing said anxiously.

Luffy and the others gathered around, looking at him in confusion.

Luffy said, “What’s wrong? What happened? She just slept in, it’s nothing.”

Liu Qing was anxious to death. Who knew that even if Nami didn’t go with Luffy and the others, she would still be bitten? Who knew if this time the poisonous insect was stronger or weaker than in the original story? If the poison was stronger than in the original, they might not be able to hold on until Drum Island.

Seeing Luffy’s indifferent expression, Liu Qing quickly said, “Oh no~~ Have you forgotten what Nami said yesterday? Little Garden is full of all sorts of poisonous insects. I’m afraid she was bitten! We don’t have a doctor. If the poison is very strong, it might be over.”

Everyone’s hearts tightened immediately, and they all stared at Nami’s room, waiting for Vivi to bring news.

Just then, Princess Vivi ran out in a hurry, shouting, “This is bad! Nami is sick! I found this bug on her forehead.”

As she spoke, she took out a small bottle with a sesame-sized bug inside, still slowly crawling.

“Beep beep beep beep~~~ Quick, move! Find the next island, we need to find a doctor! Don’t feed her any random medicine, I’m afraid it will worsen her condition.” Liu Qing was also dizzy with anxiety.

He cursed inwardly, “First Hokage is strong, but he can’t cure diseases. In this situation, no matter how strong he is, it’s useless. Not being able to cure diseases is like being blind. And he couldn’t remember how to identify Drum Island in the original story either.”

Just then, Vivi spoke, “Snow… Does anyone have a telescope? Look in that direction, it’s snowing. Among the nearby islands, there’s a country where it snows all year round. That’s the legendary medical kingdom. If we head in the direction of the snow, we’ll definitely reach it.”

Usopp immediately climbed up to the crow’s nest and observed carefully. In a moment, he shouted in surprise, “Sanji, a little to the left, I see snow over there!”

Sanji found the right direction and began to advance towards Drum Island at the fastest possible speed.

Everyone went into Nami’s room. Liu Qing placed his hand on her forehead. “So hot~ So hot~ This won’t do, Nami’s condition is too serious.”

“Luffy, Usopp, you two watch Nami. I’ll increase the speed.” Liu Qing said and ran out.

Arriving at the stern of the ship, Liu Qing clapped his hands, “Wood Release: Wood Dragon!”

The Merry’s speed instantly increased by more than 10 times. It wasn’t that it couldn’t go faster, but he was afraid the Merry and the sick Nami couldn’t handle it.

After less than ten minutes of further travel, the Merry slowly sailed into a sea covered in heavy snow. The sky in this area was gloomy, and snowflakes fell thick and fast, as if the whole world was enveloped in a white curtain.

Not long after, Zoro, standing in the crow’s nest, suddenly shouted, “Hey! Liu Qing, there’s something ahead! There’s a giant pirate ship blocking our way directly in front of us. That ship is at least five times bigger than our Merry!”

Liu Qing frowned upon hearing this. He quickly observed the situation ahead and thought to himself, “No time to hesitate, let’s just break through!”

However, just as Liu Qing made up his mind to force his way through, the pirate ship opposite suddenly fired cannons without warning. Dense cannonballs rained down on the Merry. Seeing this, Liu Qing immediately used Wood Release: Super Large Wood Golem Wall to block the cannon attacks.

But because of this, the Merry was forced to stop.

Feeling the Merry had stopped, Luffy, anxious to death, carried Nami on his back and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind. His face was full of anxiety and worry, and he kept muttering, “Are we there yet? I’m going to find a doctor right now!”

Zoro, standing in the crow’s nest, saw Luffy’s anxious expression as he carried Nami from a distance, and his heart tightened. He explained, “Not yet, Luffy! We’ve run into a bit of trouble. There’s a huge pirate ship blocking our way ahead. They not only forced us to stop with cannonballs, but there are only a thousand of them!”

Zoro’s voice revealed a hint of anger. He gripped his three swords tightly, his gaze fixed on the distant pirate ship.

Immediately after, Zoro turned to look at Liu Qing, who was standing nearby, a resolute look flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I’ll stay behind. You guys keep going, don’t worry about me. After I kill these pirates, I’ll catch up immediately!”

Before anyone else could agree.

On the pirate ship opposite, Wapol, wearing a hippo-like cape, swallowed the knife with ham stuck in it while speaking, and glanced at Luffy and the others: “Are there only a few of you?”

“Did that guy just eat his sword?” Zoro asked uncertainly, subconsciously tightening his grip on his own swords.

Wapol wiped his mouth with his clothes and asked again, “The number of people doesn’t matter. Do you have a Log Pose or an Eternal Pose to Drum Island?”

“Drum Island, I remember now! The pirate ship opposite belongs to the King of Drum Island!” At this moment, Vivi suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Usopp was surprised: “A King~ How is that possible? If he’s really a king, why would he become a pirate?”

Princess Vivi, however, had a confident expression: “There’s no mistake. Last time, during the World Government’s affiliated nations meeting, I went with my father, and I saw him at the meeting. When I first saw him, I just felt a little familiar, but he just mentioned Drum Island, so I’m sure he’s the King of Drum Island.”

Wapol heard Vivi’s words, couldn’t help but put his hands on his hips, and burst into loud laughter: “Gyahaha~ Little girl, you’re quite knowledgeable. That’s right, I am the King of Drum Island.”

Then his expression changed again, and he said coldly, “So, do you have a Log Pose for Drum Island? If not, you can just die.”

Luffy held Nami tightly, feeling the waves of heat radiating from her body. His mood was already anxious due to Nami’s condition, and now it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His gaze was like a torch, fixed on Wapol opposite, his murderous intent unconcealed.

“No! Get out of the way, or I’ll make a move!” Luffy’s voice was low and authoritative, as if the entire sea could feel his anger.

However, Wapol turned a deaf ear to Luffy’s warning and burst into laughter instead. He mocked, “Just a few of you, and you want to make a move? Do you think you can beat me?”

Before he finished speaking, Wapol’s mouth suddenly inflated like a balloon, becoming larger than the Merry. He opened his gaping maw and bit straight towards the Merry, his ferocious appearance chilling to the bone.

At this critical moment, Zoro leaped up from the crow’s nest like lightning. He held three swords, carving a sharp arc in the air, and roared, “Three Sword Style: Oni Giri!”

In an instant, sword light flashed, like a roaring demon. Zoro’s attack was like a thunderbolt, striking Wapol’s body with full force. Wapol was sent flying backwards by the blow, crashing heavily back onto his own ship.

Wapol scrambled to his feet in disarray, looking at the people on the Merry with anger. His heart was filled with frustration and helplessness, and he couldn’t help but lament, “Sigh, why am I so unlucky? A few days ago, I met a fat black guy and he chased us out of Drum Island. Now I’ve encountered a small pirate crew, and I can’t even beat them. This life is truly difficult!”

Wapol, having regained his composure, his eyes sharp and fierce, unhesitatingly gave orders to his pirate subordinates: “Everyone, free attack, eliminate the opposition!”

His voice echoed across the sea like thunder, deafening.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The pirate grunts shouted in unison, their voices deafening.

Immediately after, a fierce battle broke out.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~” Cannonballs streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing towards the Merry with piercing whistles.

“Bang bang bang~” The sounds of bows and firearms firing rose and fell, a dense rain of bullets pouring down overwhelmingly.

Seeing the attacking cannonballs and arrows, Luffy put Nami down and used all his strength to block all the attacks. Then, while stopping the attacks, he said coldly, “Guys, let’s just wipe them out.”

“It’s about time.” Zoro gripped his swords, ready to jump onto the pirate ship opposite and start a massacre.

Before they could make a move, Liu Qing also spoke coldly, “Sanji, you continue to steer the ship forward. I’ll take care of the other side. We can’t waste time here.”

Sanji nodded upon hearing this, turned and headed towards the helm, bypassing Wapol’s Tin Plate Ship, and continued towards the direction where snow was falling.

Wapol watched this small pirate crew, who dared to ignore him, and was about to order his subordinates to increase their firepower when…

Black纹路 appeared on Liu Qing’s face at the stern of the Merry. He stared coldly at the Tin Plate Ship, clasped his hands together, and whispered, “Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique.”

On both the left and right sides of the Tin Plate Ship, a semi-circular wooden structure larger than it appeared. The moment the wood appeared, it merged rapidly, forming a giant wooden ball that trapped the Tin Plate Ship and everyone inside.

Inside the ball, violent explosions were still occurring. Clearly, their attacking cannonballs were also blocked and exploded within.

Liu Qing used the tail of the Wood Dragon to drag Wapol’s group, who were trapped by the Wood Golem Technique, and brought them along to Drum Island.
