Chapter 39-Xia Long Festival

Grand Line can’t speculate with common sense at all.

The seasons and weather here are fickle. The previous second was still a sunny day with the sun shining brightly, and a few lightning bolts might suddenly strike out in the sky in the next second! Yesterday was a cool autumn climate. When I wake up today, I will find that the deck is covered with thick snow.

Maybe if you don’t pay attention to the record pointer at a glance, your course will be reversed by 180 degrees. The sea here is like this, no matter whether it is wind or sky, waves or clouds, nothing is credible. The only thing that will never change is the direction pointed by the record pointer.

…………

Today’s weather is spring, changing to summer.

The Beagle drove out of the Twin Gorge at the foot of the upside-down mountain, and headed towards the town of Tanar.


The sun is warm and the sea is calm.

Victor lay leisurely on the recliner on the edge of the deck with a pillow in one hand, flipping through boredly with a Grand Line pop novel sent by Crocus.

Standing on the deck, Wu Hongji closed her eyes in a posture of drawing a sword, trying to find the unpredictable inspiration when she fought with the “Demon Swordsman” Fleming.

Perona sat on the top of the cabin, dangling her long legs, humming a gloomy song while gnawing on an apple. A large number of ghosts formed a lookout team hovering over the ship, constantly monitoring the changes in ocean currents and weather.

Robin sits in the cabin, collating information about the islands of their route against the chart.

“Brother, turn right 47 degrees.”

“Okay, turn right 47 degrees…Done.”

From time to time, such brief conversations came from the ship. Under Perona’s excellent sailing skills and Victor’s exquisite control, the Beagle gave full play to its speed advantage and drove towards the town of Tanar.

The fifth day after sailing from Shuangzixia.

“Passengers of the Beagle, please take your luggage and prepare to disembark, the town of Tanar is here~”



Perona’s cheerful voice spread throughout the Beagle.

Wu Hongji poked her head out of the kitchen: “So fast? Didn’t it mean that it would take at least 8 to 10 days for the voyage?”

Victor, who was adjusting the sails, smiled slightly: “The speed of the Beagle is superb. If it weren’t for the first arrival at the Grand Line, and not familiar with the climate and ocean currents, the trip could be shortened by about 1 day.”

Wu Hongji looked at the sea level in the distance, and the outline of Tanal town could already be vaguely seen in front of him: “Where is the Robin?”

“Ohhhhhhhhh~she went to get us pocket money.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Robin walked out of the cabin with his suitcase, and said with a smile: “Each person is 100,000 Berry’s pocket money.”

“Oh yeah~~” Perona and Wu Hongji cheered.

Victor smiled: “Everyone, go change clothes, get ready to log in.”

After a short while, the Beagle gradually approached the port of Tanar.

Today seems to be an important festival in Tanar town. There are at least 50 large and small ships berthed densely around the port. Colorful banners and holiday pennants are hung across the pier. It is crowded with people.

“Victor, do you need someone to guard the boat?” Wu Hongji changed into a casual red and black dress, which was similar in color to Perona’s gothic skirt.

“No need, just take your belongings and disembark.”

After everyone disembarked and stood on the dock, Victor flicked his finger, and a ‘guide zipper’ flew to the hull. Devil Fruit’s power was instantly transmitted to the Beagle and began to transform its shape.

“Resin zipper·Capsule hotel.”

Layers of resin zippers are arched into a dome, completely covering the upper void of the entire hull, leaving no gaps.

The crowd involuntarily stopped and stared at this amazing move in amazement. It’s not that they haven’t seen Devil Fruit, but it’s very rare to be able to do so.

This can be regarded as an invisible demonstration and deterrence.

After finishing the “coating” of the Beagle, Victor clicked his index finger and retracted the “guide zipper”:

“Okay, let’s go, everyone is free to move, and meet on the Beagle side in the evening.”

Perona and Wu Hongji happily traveled with each other, heading to the famous tourist food street that Robin explained to them before. Robin followed Victor closely, and wanted to secretly enjoy this rare private date.

Victor is also happy to go shopping with Robin, after all, he hasn’t made any travel strategies for Tanar town, and Robin knows a little more.

Unlike the country of flowers, there are no special food stalls on the wharf in Tanar Town, and most of them are merchant ships and civilian fishing boats trading or transporting goods.

The two went straight across the pier, and at the end of the pier was a huge round arched porch, which was covered with ribbons of holiday pennants.

When approaching the arched porch, it seemed as if the volume control knob was suddenly turned to the head, and the hustle and bustle of popularity rushed over.

The laughter of adults and children, the smell of food, the ribbons dancing in the sky, and the bustling flow of people on the street!

Today is the most important festival of the year in Tanar Town-Xia Long Festival!

There are crowds on both sides of the street, some are local residents, but more are foreign tourists. Every stall that exudes the scent of food is crowded with people, and the children have long been reluctant to leave in front of the stalls selling holiday masks and souvenirs.

In the center of the road is a long and long row of beautifully shaped paper models of dragons. The shape of each dragon is different, but without exception, they are made with special care. Producers stand in front of their own works and happily exchange their experiences with other producers, or explain them to the onlookers.

Victor and Robin were infected by the joyous holiday atmosphere and walked slowly along the street with a smile on their faces.

“The Summer Dragon Festival is an important festival that has been passed down in Tanar since ancient times. At this time of year, almost every family in the town spontaneously builds paper models of giant dragons and puts them on the street for everyone to admire, to commemorate 300 years ago. The hero who saved the town of Tanar-‘Paper Dragon’ Angie Wells.”

The two were attracted by the smell of the food and stopped in front of a booth. Taking advantage of the time in the line, Robin began to explain the customs of Tanar to Victor.

“Oh? “Paper Dragon”? It sounds amazing.” After a while, it was Victor’s turn. He spent 400 Berry to buy two snacks ‘Bin Bin Puru’ and handed one to Robin.

‘Bin Bin Puru’, this is a uniquely flavored grilled sausage, cut into even thick slices and put in a carton, and then sprinkle a lot of mustard sauce and shredded cheese on top. If customers like spicy food, they can also get a thin sharp pepper from the stall free of charge. This is the “green of compassion”, a special product of Tanal Town, and its spiciness is amazing.

Robin considered it for a moment, and still did not take the pepper. He inserted a piece of cheese-saturated sausage with a bamboo stick and put it in his mouth, his big eyes narrowed slightly with a smile. The two stood in the shade slowly eating snacks, Robin continued to explain to Victor:

“‘Paper Dragon’ Angie Wells, the great thief who became famous 300 years ago, was an origami man who ate the fruit of origami. He can fold his body at will and transform it into various paper models as he pleases, and the paper on his body is still It can be as hard as a sword. In addition, after he succeeded in the theft, he will leave a small animal origami. One day, his hometown of Tanal was invaded by the penguin pirate group led by the great pirate “Emperor Penguin” Dynapo Suddenly, even the garrison Marine was attacked and wiped out by these fierce pirates. At the moment of crisis, the paper dragon turned into a paper bird, and drove back to his hometown alone, alone against the pirate army of thousands of people. At the end of the fight, he Incarnate into a huge paper dragon and defeated all the invaders, but he also died at his exhaustion. In order to commemorate the great hero who turned the prodigal son, the people of Tanar have designated that day as the’Xialong Festival’.”

Victor was a little fascinated when he heard it: “One person against the Army of Thousands. Even after countless artistic processes, the scene of the battle at that time must be amazing… Is this ‘Pin Bin Pru’ delicious?”

“Well, it’s delicious!” Robin nodded with a smile.

“Go, I see a stall selling drinks in front.” The two slowly walked towards the stall in front.

At this time, several people in black wearing festive masks stopped in front of them. The head of a well-proportioned man slowly said:

“Mafia Victor,’Fungi Chain’, can you talk about it?”

Victor raised his eyebrows: “I don’t like talking to guys who hide their heads and show their tails.”

Robin was a little panicked, and she subconsciously hid her body behind Victor.

Even without the special Observation Haki ‘Apocalypse’ for identification, Victor can guess the identities of the guys on the opposite side.

CIPHER-POLCipherPol, which stands for World government, is referred to as CP.
