Chapter 331
“Uncle, another bowl of pasta!”
“Okay, a bowl of pasta.”
The chef brought a bowl of pasta and placed it in front of the little old man, and asked in a very bad tone: “Hey, did you bring the money today?”
Raising his head and looking at the cook above, the little old man calmly pointed to Usopp and replied, “It’s alright, why should we pay?”
“Do you want me to treat?” Usopp immediately stood up and asked angrily, pointing at himself.
Turning his head, looked towards the annoyed Usopp, the old man’s face still remained unchanged, “Don’t you want to hear the secret of the rainbow-colored smoke, of course you will.”
“Hey, you heard clearly, it’s not that I want to invite.” Usopp slapped the table and shouted angrily.
Handing out a gold coin to the chef, Lin Tian said, “This old man’s a guest we have invited, these should be enough.”
Watching the chef’s departure, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the old man in front of him, “If you can tell us the secret of the rainbow color, a meal is nothing to us.”
After taking a deep look at the calm Lin Tian, the old man was very familiar with the identity of the person in front of him. After all, he was a scientist under the name of the World Government, and Lin Tian’s reputation is like thunder piercing the ear.
“Didn’t expect, you can actually see Marine traitor Lin Tian here, are you also interested in the rainbow-colored smoke?”
Put down the water cup in his hand, Lin Tian looked at the old man in front of him, “I have heard this legend about the rainbow-colored smoke. It is said that there are scientists under the World Government who are studying this thing. It must be you.”
“Yes.” nodded, old man self-introduced, “My name is Henzo. I am a genius who specializes in rainbow-colored smoke. I repeat, genius scientist.”
On the edge, Usopp returned to his seat, squinting his eyes. Obviously, he couldn’t understand how old man called himself, “It’s shameless to call myself a genius.”
“Mr Henzo Court Academician.” Robin took out a book and gently pushed it in front of him, “Do you know this book?”
Looking at the books on the table, Henzo showed a thoughtful look, and then, shocked on his face.
Apparently remembering what the book was, Henzo quickly picked it up and turned it over.
At this time, Robin said: “This is what I got in Arabasta.”
“So that’s how it is.” Usopp was holding a fork, looking at the book in Henzo’s hand, and suddenly woke up, “The rainbow-colored fog name turned out to be from the book that Robin read.”
Robin calmly explained, “Who does the author know, wrote forty years ago. According to this book, the rainbow-colored fog seems to be related to a mysterious entrance.”
“Ape’s Concert” Lin Tian, calmly said a name.
Any ship who enters the Rainbow Mist is automatically transported to a strange dimension known as Ape’s Concert (Eipusu Konsāto, Wrecker’s Reef in the 4Kids dub), in which all ships and their crews and passengers are trapped. It is also known as a ship’s graveyard because it is filled with wrecked ships, although it is said that there are many treasures in their cargo.
Robin’s face was on one side, showing a panic, as if the name was terrifying, “Ape’s Concert, is it…”
“Is it what?” Luffy was eating by the side Noodles, asked puzzledly.
Recovering his excitement, Robin explained: “Could it be the graveyard of the sea that you can’t get out after you enter”
“What”
“Very powerful”
Henzo shouted with a face of disbelief: “How is it possible?! How can someone in this world study more deeply than me and know better than me?!”
After all, decades of research have spent countless money and energy, but now I hear that, in this world, there are people who know more about rainbow-colored smoke than me.
“Of course, don’t think that you have the title of scientist, you really think that you are a rare genius. In this world, there are many who are smarter than you.”
Lin Tian’s calm tone contained a hint of sarcasm. From the moment they met, the old man gave him the impression that he was very bad, extremely bad.
“You….” Hearing this, the old man immediately got annoyed, but he didn’t know what to say. Saying these things in his capacity would not be enough to deceive him.
Secondly, this is a fact. If this old man is really so powerful, since he has been awarded the title of scientist in the World Government.
In the beginning, they will be recruited by the World Government to conduct some scientific research, instead of staying here for decades, the World Government will not oversee it, it is a dispensable role, and it has not achieved any results.
Turning his head, looking towards Lin Tian, Robin asked curiously, “In this case, then I still know what secrets are hidden in the rainbow-colored smoke.”
“I’m not very clear about this.” Lin Tian shook the head, “Back then, I only heard what an old man said. At that time, he led people to study 1 month later, and it seemed that something terrible happened, so he didn’t continue research.”
Hmph! At this time, the Henzo old man coldly snorted said in disbelief, “How is it possible, I have studied for fifty years, and found nothing, how could he know these things.”
Glanced at the old man in front of him, Lin Tian said calmly: “As a scientist, you should have heard the name Begapunk.”
“What, it’s him!!”
Looking at this Henzo who feels very good about himself, and hearing the name so shocked, Usopp couldn’t help but become curious and started to ask.
The chef of the spaghetti, put down the noodles in his hands, and kindly remind everyone, “You better not believe him, he is Wetton’s running dog.”
Wetton is the main antagonist of the anime-only Ruluka Island Arc.
“Wetton?”
“The running dog?”
The four of them, listening to the boss’s words, looked confused and puzzled, but the boss didn’t know them, just met by chance, and he wouldn’t deceive them for no reason.
hua!
At this moment, a customer behind him suddenly removed his stool, stood up, turned his head, and said angrily: “Having the identity of a scientist, but working for Wetton!-“
Clang clang…
Suddenly, the sound of musical instruments sounded, and all the customers who ate in the restaurant immediately panicked, as if something terrifying was about to happen, they grabbed it by accident. The food on the table was desperately stuffed into his mouth.
“Hurry up, eat all of it, tax collectors are coming!”
A group of people wearing the same uniform walked in, talking a lot of bullshit madly, and then forcibly levying a few people about the food tax caused by eating too much food.
Afterwards, talking to Henzo also made Lin Tian seem to understand something. It seems that this guy is not welcome in the whole city. There is still a reason. He has reached this point. An extreme.
“It’s still the same. When and where the fog appears, it’s impossible to control.”
“So your research used the tax money of the citizens… The longer you research, the more trouble it will bring to everyone. Don’t forget this.”
After speaking, the man was very arrogant and walked towards the door. He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly noticed something and came back, looking at Luffy who was eating noodles.
A smile appeared on his face, “This is, this is, this is…you brat is eating a big bowl of noodles.”
“Well, the noodles are delicious.” Luffy is very simple and nodded, and he does not forget to admire the noodles here, which tastes good.
“People who eat big bowls can’t do it without paying taxes”
“Ah, you can ask him for it, he invited the guest.” Luffy hurriedly pointed at Lin Tian and pushed everything directly on Lin Tian.
……
On the road, Lin Tian and the others, walking on the main road, not to mention that Luffy and Usopp two brat talking with Henzo’s old man before.
Lin Tian leaned against Robin, holding the back of his head with both hands, his right hand, which was wrapped in white bandages, was stained with light blood, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
Robin asked softly: “Why, Lin Tian, did you find something?”
“No.” Lin Tian shook his head and said, “It’s just that when I arrived at this small island, something was wrong. Now there is a rainbow-colored fog, I always feel that there is something hidden in this place…”
dīng líng líng …
Suddenly, an alarm bell rang over the city. Many silhouettes moved towards the pier by the sea, as if something happened there.
“A strange ship came”
Henzo’s face immediately showed excitement, and then he hurriedly followed up with those silhouettes, moved towards the beach and ran.
Luffy, who likes the lively life the most, will certainly not miss it when he encounters this kind of thing. Apart from anything else, he also quickly followed along.
When they came to the port, there were already a lot of silhouettes, densely packed, and everyone followed the old man and squeezed in easily.
In the port, I don’t know when, a huge three-mast sailing ship appeared. The hull reached hundreds of meters in length, which is much larger than the average Marine Battleship.
“It’s so big”
The whole boat is extremely bright pink. The ship is a huge bull head. It is very strange. There are six huge bull horns. The flag above is a pirate flag. This is a pirate ship.
From the appearance of this ship, Robin got a lot of information: “It’s been a while.”
Tarielishin was the anime-only pirate ship of the Wetton Pirates before the Pumpkin Pirates stole it.
“Talielishin.” Henzo old man seems to know this ship very well, even knows its name, and quickly moved towards the crowd on the side and ran away.
In the eyes of everyone, the old man didn’t know where he came from. He drove a small car and moved towards the sea along the wooden bridge on the dock. Several air cushions emerged from the bottom, floating on the sea, and sailing towards the huge Pirate Ship.
“Grip, it’s amazing, it’s awesome, amazing, amazing, I absolutely want it” Luffy made a fist with both hands, and Luffy was very excited.
“Fuck, it’s actually amphibious.” Lin Tian directly exploded a foul language.
