[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 053

Leaving the Rainbow Mist, Luffy was still excitedly talking about what happened inside.

“I think it was quite fun, it would be great if we could go play there again in the future…!” Just as he was speaking, wood chips fell on everyone.

“Is it raining, but it doesn’t seem like it, is it hail? What strange things are these?” Usopp and Sanji wondered.

Suddenly, the Going Merry was shrouded in shadow.

Orochimaru subconsciously looked up… a huge pirate ship descended from the sky.

“Holy shit…” Orochimaru’s clones, realizing what was happening, sprang into action, accelerating their rowing.

“What are you guys doing just standing there?! Come help! Run! Everyone else, hold onto the things on the ship… don’t fall off!” Zoro and Sanji ran over, gripping the oars, rowing so fast they left afterimages.

The giant pirate ship slammed into the sea, creating huge waves. The Going Merry rocked back and forth violently under the impact of the waves.

Things kept falling from the sky, and everyone rowing the Going Merry seemed to be playing some kind of dodging game, moving left then right.

Finally, they managed to avoid everything without much trouble, and the sea returned to calm. The few people who were rowing gasped for fresh air, having held their breath while rowing, almost suffocating.

“Hey… Usopp… what are you holding?” Nami asked with a trembling voice, looking at Usopp hugging something.

Usopp opened his eyes to see a skeleton in his arms.

“Ahhhhhh!!!!!” Usopp screamed and threw it to Nami.

“Idiot, don’t throw it at me!” Nami kicked the poor skeleton away.

“Why would a ship fall from the sky? That’s too strange,” Luffy looked up at the clear sky.

“But there’s nothing in the sky,” Zoro stared carefully at the sky.

“Ah!” Nami shrieked.

“What do we do? The Log Pose is broken and keeps pointing straight up without moving.” (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)”

Robin walked over, “No… I think it’s attracted by an island with a stronger magnetic force, so it has already reset.

Since the pointer is pointing straight up without moving, it means there’s an island in the sky. However, I don’t know much about Sky Islands, and I’ve never seen one.”

Nami didn’t believe it, “…That’s impossible. How can islands and seas float in the sky?”

Orochimaru held a box of Log Poses he had bought for Nami earlier and placed it in front of her. “Robin isn’t wrong… If only one was broken, that would be one thing, but are all of these broken?” All the Log Poses in the box pointed to the same place: the sky.

Orochimaru pushed his non-existent glasses. “Sherlock Holmes once said, ‘When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.’”

“Nah… nah… Orochimaru… who is Sherlock Holmes?” Luffy asked confusedly.

Orochimaru ignored Luffy, his right hand moved from top to bottom, thumb and index finger extended, the other three fingers curled, pointing straight ahead, “Then! The scheming frog has been touching your belly!”

After speaking, he quickly raised his hand and pointed to the sky, “☞ The Sky Island must be ten thousand meters above our heads!”

“Wow! Wow! So cool!” Usopp and Chopper excitedly clapped their hands.

Chopper imitated Orochimaru, his eyes serious, pointing forward with his finger, “Scheming frog! Always touching your belly!”

Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ Then he happily rolled around on the ground, “Hahahaha… so cool!”

Zoro and Sanji’s jaws dropped. No… Orochimaru, what are you doing… you’re actually this kind of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru came to his senses and clutched his forehead… No, what was that just now? Where did that line, etched into his soul, come from? He felt like he had been possessed by some perennial elementary school student.

Robin pressed down on her upturned lips. “Orochimaru is right, Navigator-san.

What you should be considering now is how to get to the sky.

No matter how many strange and fantastical situations this ship has been caught in, or how great a crisis it has fallen into,

You must never doubt the Log Pose in your hand. This is an iron rule of navigation.

In this sea, the first thing you should doubt is your own so-called common sense in your head. There will definitely be an island where the Log Pose points.”

Nami fell silent and began to study carefully. Everyone decided to rest where they were.

Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy imitated Orochimaru’s expression and actions from earlier: “Scheming frog!”

“Luffy, no, it’s not like that,” Usopp then made an even more serious expression, “Scheming frog!”

“Wowow! Exactly the same!” This time, Luffy and Chopper clapped like seals together.

Orochimaru, passing by, turned red. He punched Luffy and Usopp on the head, dragged them aside, and threw them to Nami, “Go work!”

Chopper clung to Zoro’s leg, trembling.

Orochimaru hid in his lab to sulk.

A moment later, Luffy excitedly pulled something out of a pile of wreckage.

“Nami!!! Look! I found something good!” he said, unfolding the map in his hand.

“Sky Plea!!! Does this mean Sky Island really exists?!”

Yahoo! Luffy and Usopp, arms around each other’s shoulders, danced with Chopper on their heads, “An incredible island! We can go to the Island of Dreams!”

While Nami was thinking about how to get to Sky Island,

Usopp made a simple diving device, and Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro went into the sea to look for clues.

Suddenly, a monkey ship approached… yes, monkeys… a large monkey at the bow holding a gong… a strange ape man said they were a salvage team… the Ape King was going to personally dive down to salvage, it was all very baffling.

Then they encountered a sea turtle that could eat an entire ship, swallowing Luffy and the sunken ship whole.

And then suddenly, it got dark.

Orochimaru emerged with a gloomy face, his mouth twitching as he looked at the dark sky.

“I was only in there for a moment, what kind of trouble is Luffy causing now?”

“No, no, it’s not Luffy… Luffy was eaten by a turtle, what do we do?” Chopper cried, clinging to Orochimaru’s leg…

As soon as Chopper finished speaking, Zoro and Sanji climbed up, carrying Luffy.

A monkey (the Ape King) jumped up with them.

Zoro was about to punch the monkey who wanted to steal treasure…

Everyone looked in horror behind the monkey, only to see five figures standing between heaven and earth, with wings on their backs, holding huge harpoons, stabbing down from above.

Orochimaru’s face turned pale. What in the world was that?

“Monsters!!!” Luffy’s howl woke everyone up.

The few of them once again went into extreme speed boating mode. Although he felt very sorry for Merry, Orochimaru shouted in his heart while speeding: A motorboat! Definitely a motorboat!

After an unknown amount of time, everyone who finally escaped from the darkness collapsed weakly onto the deck. Besides them, a monkey had also snuck in. This monkey seemed to still be recovering from the earlier scare, pitifully curled up. As soon as it spoke, it was kicked flying by Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.

“Ah!” The monkey flew in an arc through the air and then fell into the sea.

“This guy is so noisy,” Luffy said, frowning.

“Yeah, he was chattering the whole time we were in there,” Zoro agreed.

“Yeah, it was really annoying,” Sanji nodded.

Afterward, the three of them began to examine their salvaged items. These items included various strange and useless things.

Orochimaru found a red triangular octopus in the armor machine… The little thing was quite unique… Kept it, kept it.

The group was still arguing loudly when Robin handed Nami an Eternal Pose.

“I snagged it from that salvage ship just now, you should find it useful.”

Nami was moved to tears, “Only you understand me.”

Meanwhile… Luffy was snatching Orochimaru’s octopus.

“Octopus! Nah… Orochimaru, let’s make takoyaki!”

“No… it’s mine, I’m going to keep it as a pet.”

Robin broke a sweat, “You must be having a tough time…”

ε=(´ο｀*))) Alas.
