Chapter 670: The Millennium Dragon Branch Quest is Over!
Although the number of sunken warships is far more than the last time in the port of Gunkanjima, because it is located in the open sea, the average depth of the sea is several times that of the offshore port of Gunkanjima, and in addition, the wreckage of these warships also fell with extremely heavy four iron cables, and the speed of sinking without other intact warships to share the weight is far beyond imagination, and when the remnants of the navy's fleet have gone away, the other fifteen wrecks have basically sunk almost the same, and the one that was previously used as a shelter by the Golden Merry is still alive on the sea.
However, even if it is not sunk, it is not convenient to go up to search for loot, because the speed of the evacuation of other warships is too fast, resulting in some naval soldiers who want to wait for the opportunity to wait and see or are injured and have no means to escape. Besides, God knows if the wreckage of this warship, which was already on the verge of sinking, will be rowed into the deep sea because a group of people fought on it, Wu Liang didn't want to accompany these guys to the sea to feed the sharks!
After the battle, the unpacking had to be put to a halt, and under the hateful gaze of the surviving soldiers, the Golden Merry carried the 'Straw Hat Pirates' who celebrated their victory with open ale barrels (in fact, most of the real Straw Hat Pirates were busy with other work, and Zoro was the only one who came to drink!). Slowly sailed away from this ominous sea area where nearly a thousand naval soldiers had been killed in a very short period of time.
Perhaps, this undercurrent is quite turbulent and the sea will become a new devil's sea in the future, after all, the resentment is too heavy!
Wu Liang and his entourage, who were drifting away, didn't care at all about how the Devil's Sea was formed, find the lost island as soon as possible, send the thousand-year-old dragon home, and then seize the time to sail into the great voyage and start the adventure, this is the most urgent thing, compared to the current main goal, everything else is floating clouds, which can be completely ignored.
------------------------------------------
The search for the Lost Island was full of accidents, and about four and a half hours after sailing away from the sea area where the naval fleet was engaged, the group on the Golden Merry first encountered a strange situation like a dimensional crossing, and broke into a mirror space in a daze, and later encountered an unusually strong sea storm without much distance, and in terms of storm intensity, it was even greater than the one that Wu Liang encountered when he sailed out of the windmill village.
Fortunately, there is Nami, an excellent navigator, on the ship, and there is a thousand-year-old dragon dragon on board as a ballast stone, so although the Merry is only a primitive small sailing ship, under Nami's fine command, it has successfully passed through the whole storm, only a little bumpy.
After passing through the storm, the whole sea became calm in an instant, and a small island full of ancient ruins soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the dragon-shaped carvings that can be seen everywhere made little Lori Abisi excited, firmly believing that what she found was the legendary lost island, holding the dragon head of the thousand-year-old dragon and immediately told the good news to the dragon lord, and chirped in the hope that the dragon lord would get better soon.
Because Long Ye lost the ability to fly and moving Long Ye back and forth was not conducive to his physical recovery, so Long Ye could only continue to stay on the deck of the Merry, Wu Liang, who had just experienced a strenuous exercise (carrying a cannon to hit the warship), stayed on the ship to rest with Long Ye and watch the ship by the way, and the others were enthusiastic and Luffy and a few of them chose to go to the island to take risks (light), While this ruin-filled island doesn't look like a thousand-year-old dragon's lair, it's a good idea to take a stroll up and take in the unique scenery.
As for Wu Liang, who chose to stay and voluntarily watch the boat, he set up a sun umbrella and a recliner at the stern of the boat, took out a fishing rod, ale and snacks, and leaned on the recliner to catch a fish, probably because there have been no human beings set foot in it for a long time, the nearby fishing resources are simply rich and undecent, large and easy to take the bait, basically as long as the rod is moved a few times, there will be fish on the bait, and nearly 100 various marine fish have been caught in just over two hours. Except for half of it and waiting for it to be handed over to Sanji to make dinner, the rest was thrown into Long Ye's mouth, and I don't know how long this big guy hasn't eaten enough, anyway, none of the forty or fifty big fish with a short arm length left, all of them have been eaten cleanly, and they don't even vomit fish bones.
The people who went to the island to explore finally came back when it was dark, and Wu Liang, who had so many prey that he was so hungry that he was already hungry and growled, and when he was impatient, he simply set up an oven on the deck, and enjoyed the extremely fresh grilled sea fish on the deck with the freshly hooked sea fish and the dragon master and a dragon on the deck, and the hungry people were on the boat without saying a word, and the grilled fish with only some sea salt was quite popular.
After a battle for food, the drunken and full-bellied people finally remembered the serious matter, and shared the information obtained after some investigation with Wu Liang: the small island in front of them is not the lost island that everyone thought at the beginning, but the place where Ablis didn't know how many generations ago had to live, although the island is full of dragon-shaped stone carvings, there is no evidence of the existence of a thousand-year-old dragon, teeth, bones, feathers, nothing!
Judging from the murals on the ruins on the top of the mountain, it is very likely that the real lost island is the current Gunship Island, after all, there is only one large island with towering mountains nearby, and it should enter the windless zone no matter how far away, and the Golden Merry, which has no additional power and lacks enough sea building stones, does not have the ability to venture deep into the search for it.
Despite some disappointment, Ablis accepted the reality, after all, she was involved in the painstaking search process, and she was aware of the risks and difficulties encountered, but the disappointment was indeed beyond words.
Fortunately, there is no endless road, just when Wu Liang and Luffy and his party repaired on the nameless island overnight, and the next day when they returned to the warship island, they happened to encounter an extremely rare geological phenomenon, which may be affected by the activity of the submarine volcano---- the continental shelf off the coast of the warship island first trembled violently, and a large piece of land that usually sank under the sea was slowly lifted, if you can look down from the sky, the entire warship island is very close to the appearance on the mural of the ruins, Not long afterward, a large group of millennial dragons flew from nowhere and landed on the newborn island, which had just surfaced.
When the flame of life was about to be extinguished, he could actually see so many of the same kind, and the dragon lord, who had been curled up on the deck of the Merry and languished, seemed to regain the vitality of his youth at this moment, and rubbed the head of Abys's little Lori with his cheek for the last time as a farewell, and then took two steps and jumped off the central deck of the Merry, and flew towards the group of thousand-year-old dragons closest to him, and never ......moved again when he fell into the group of strangers!
