Chapter 42 Mission
Nicholas wandered around Water Seven for a while and realized that without a Water Bull as transportation, it was really inconvenient here.
It could be said that Water Seven is indeed worthy of being called Water City. Here, waterways are the main roads, and streets are auxiliary roads. If you don't take the waterways, you will often run into dead ends.
As for Water Bull , which are like shared bicycles, they are also easy to find here.
So Nicholas easily found a Shop that rented Water Bull .
But after Nicholas negotiated the price with the Shopkeeper and paid happily, a new problem arose. These Water Bull seemed to be very afraid of him.
This kind of fear was like encountering a natural enemy. After Nicholas approached, they all trembled with fear and sank directly into the water. In this situation, let alone carrying people, even swimming in the water was a problem.
The Shopkeeper was also a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a situation in his many years of running the Shop.
Nicholas seemed to realize something from the fearful eyes of the Water Bull . For animals, their premonition of danger is far more keen than humans. Just like even the fiercest Dog will whine with its Tail between its legs in front of the Butcher, except for Mad Dog.
After all, let alone Mad Dog, even people, if they go crazy, will do many unimaginable things.
After communicating with these Water Bull for a while, the Shopkeeper looked at Nicholas helplessly. He didn't expect that these guys who were usually very close to people would be so afraid of the young man in front of him. At the same time, he began to organize his words to see how he could make this young man leave satisfied.
The Shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed for a while, because he could see the abnormality of the Water Bull . Counting from his ancestors, his family had been dealing with these little guys for generations. He could clearly perceive the meaning of fear conveyed by the Water Bull .
Just when the Shopkeeper was planning to refund Nicholas's money and let him go harm other people's Water Bull , Nicholas suddenly came forward and came to the Water Bull .
"You guys don't need to be afraid. If anyone is willing to carry me, I will pay extra to treat him to Water Water Meat."
Hearing Nicholas's words, the Water Bull who were originally sinking in the water were full of doubts in their eyes. They were also very puzzled why the person in front of them could speak the Water Bull 's language. You must know that even the Shopkeeper of this Shop could only understand their meaning.
"No need to doubt, I just used a Minor Technique."
Just when a group of Water Bull were puzzled, Nicholas's voice sounded in their hearts again.
While other Water Bull were still confused, a sneaky Water Bull slowly poked its head out of the water and looked at Nicholas.
"Human, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, it's true."
"Then come up, I will carry you."
After Nicholas heard what this little guy said, he jumped directly onto the seat behind it.
Then this Water Bull with red and green mottled patterns swam forward. They first passed through the Branch Waterway and entered the Rapid Waterway, and then swam towards the location Nicholas gave. After passing a large bridge, the Water Bull finally stopped. It seemed they had arrived.
"This is the agreed reward." After speaking, Nicholas withdrew a few large bells and placed them directly onto the lasso around the Water Bull's neck, patted the Water Bull's head, and gestured for the other party to depart.
This Water Bull also rubbed Nicholas's Palm affectionately with its head. After all, the Beli Nicholas gave was enough for it to eat Water Water Meat until it was full, and even take some back to share with its family.
"Human, goodbye! You are welcome to visit my home when you have the opportunity."
After speaking, the Water Bull turned around and left. It had to return to the Shop to continue to receive guests.
Nicholas just smiled at the Water Bull 's invitation. After all, he was not interested in the Underground City where the Water Bull lived.
After Nicholas went ashore, he directly followed the direction of Bell-lin's Vivre Card.
After meeting up with Bell-lin, Nicholas unexpectedly received News.
"Rocks is looking for me?"
Facing Nicholas's question, Bell-lin nodded and handed the Den Den Mushi to Nicholas.
Nicholas directly picked up the Den Den Mushi in his hand and dialed. This was a Den Den Mushi specially used to contact Rocks.
"Bulu Bulu~ Bulu Bulu~"
The Den Den Mushi rang a few times, and you could see that the originally normal Den Den Mushi suddenly grew long hair on its head that moved without wind, and its expression also turned into Rocks's appearance.
After the Den Den Mushi was connected, Rocks also said straight to the point; "Nicholas, you are in the first half of the Grand Line now, right?"
"That's right, Captain, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the World Government and the Navy are making me very uncomfortable with what they are doing in the New World, so you go attack Justice Island. If you succeed, I will give you the Fruit you want when you come back."
Rocks's voice came from the Den Den Mushi. Nicholas narrowed his eyes and thought about what big things the World Government and the Navy had done in the New World that could make Rocks so eager for revenge.
"No problem, but Captain, what extent do you want to achieve by attacking Justice Island?"
Rocks was silent for a while after hearing Nicholas's words.
"As you like."
"Hehehe, hehehe, interesting, okay, I promise you, Captain, prepare the Reward."
After speaking, the two directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"So Captain, our next stop is Justice Island?"
Simon asked curiously.
"That's right, our Target is to attack Justice Island. After all, I have coveted that Fruit for a long time."
Nicholas said with a smile. After Nicholas finished speaking, Vistad was also grinning foolishly constantly. He knew that Fruit was prepared by Nicholas for him.
After ending the call with Rocks, the group also found a restaurant and sat on the benches in the restaurant. Nicholas began to ponder.
He had always been curious about a question.
That is, will Monkey D. Luffy in this world die?
After all, in his previous life, One Piece was just an anime, and Luffy as the protagonist would definitely not die.
But now this world can be said to be a real world. He is very curious whether Luffy can still defeat or even escape from any Enemy like in the anime.
This is also the Reason why Nicholas has always only used anime as a reference. After all, many ridiculous things can happen in anime, but the real world obviously will not. People here have their own thoughts and their own personalities. Nicholas even suspects that if he follows the anime, he doesn't know how he will die. .
"Hehehe, Justice Island, that is, the place where the World Government judges criminals, but in this world, the Strongest are respected, criminals hahaha."
Seeing Nicholas's appearance, Katie looked worried. After all, she was very unaccustomed to Nicholas's wild laughter appearance, while Bell-lin calmly ate Steak. She had seen even stranger appearances of Nicholas, and this was nothing at all.
As for the people around the restaurant, they originally wanted to stop Nicholas's unreasonable behavior, but when they saw Vistad and the Great Axe and giant shield on his back, they wisely chose to smile.
After the group finished their Meal, they re-boarded the Ship and turned their course to Justice Island.
