Raise a glass to ignite the world of One Piece

"Guga—!"

Strange cries sounded in the sky, and Wayne looked at the wonders in the sky silently.

He's on a giant platform-like thing right now.

Huge birds fly across the sky from time to time.

"How did this tree grow so big..."

When Wayne was about to be shot flying by the bear, he thought briefly.

At the critical moment, he chose to only defend, not resist.

So, he once again enjoyed the bear's Air Express.

Sure enough, as he expected, this time he was not directly photographed by Xiong and flew back to the Navy headquarters or something like that.

Still in the South China Sea, this special island, Wayne is also very impressive.

"Kingdom of Birds" Trino Kingdom.

The big tree in the center of the island has a diameter of one-third of the entire island.

The branches of the towering giant trees have huge platforms—the kind that Wayne is on.

This terrain is the natural advantage of the ruler of this island, a huge bird.

So here is known as the country where "birds rule over humans".

But Wayne knows that this is a country where birds and humans are at constant war.

That's right, this is the island where Chopper was photographed by a bear in the original book and flew to study for two years.

"Although there are a lot of herbs and advanced pharmaceutical technology here..."

Wayne smiled wryly and scratched his head. Did the bear slap him here because he wanted him to use the technology here to solve the sequelae of the fruit ability?

"But I'm not a doctor, even if the medicine technique is placed in front of me, I can't understand it!"

But at least it was certain that the bear was helping him.

"Is it because of Bonnie, or because of the Tianlong people?"

Wayne walked to the edge of the platform and estimated the terrifying height.

"No matter what, I have to find a way to get in touch with the locals, at least I won't be made into a hot pot by them."

Looking back at the giant bird passing overhead, Wayne stretched out his finger, and a cloud of wine exuding a strange aroma appeared.

"Fortunately, I have this thing, otherwise I can't speak bird language, and these guys are quite troublesome to deal with."

Swallowing the wine on his fingertips, Wayne jumped off the platform, slowed down with monthly steps, and approached the ground.

"Rhapsody Juniper", one of the special alcohols developed by Wayne that can guide emotions.

Its role was originally to amplify one of several well-known states after drinking - "drinking memory loss".

That is, I can't remember what I did and what happened during the time I was drunk.

This is also one of the major factors that make wine a scapegoat.

Rhapsody Juniper can force the drinker into this state, even if he is not drunk at all.

Useful in certain situations - like wiping certain information from the minds of people who shouldn't know it.

It's just a pity that Wayne's special alcohol, including Rhapsody Juniper, will not have the intended special effects on himself.

But it's not completely useless.

If he drank the special alcohol himself, it would have another effect.

For example, in the city of water, Wayne drank the "Remembrance Ale" that can make people recall the past clearly, and the special effect is "fresh memory".

He himself did not recall the past, but gained a sharper insight because of it.

Only then did he discover the trap that CP9 had set for him.

The newly developed "Tiange Tequila" has a similar situation.

The effect is that it was originally a "tongue war against Confucianism", making the drinker especially eloquent, even sophistry.

But the effect of Wayne drinking it himself is to make what he said have a stronger appeal.

That is, it is easier to be convinced.

Once "secreted" Kira's "Yingxin·Whiskey" and let him "drink the mantra", he always said it out.

When Wayne drank by himself,

The effect is the corresponding "memory strengthening".

It seems to be an ability that exists specifically to listen to the gossip of people who have drunk this kind of wine...

Now, the special effect of "drunken amnesia" possessed by this "Fantasy Juniper Berry", which Vinn drank by himself, corresponds to the effect of "reduced sense of presence".

So he stalked Bonnie for such a long time, but the other party didn't notice it.

Not even the townspeople noticed anything was wrong.

A facelift is a must to hide your identity.

Therefore, Wayne paid attention to avoiding during this time, and was not spotted by those big birds at all.

"Shhhhhh!"

Landing lightly, Wayne looked at the strange building in front of him in admiration——

These are the roads and houses dug by the local indigenous people according to the mountain.

Some chubby Indians dress up as indigenous people, and they are shuttling through the village with goods on their heads, laughing and laughing constantly.

But if you look closely, there are quite a few of them carrying long guns, like hunters or guards.

"...As expected, these are high-tech machines, just like the legends. They are hand-held bazookas."

Wayne, who drank Rhapsody Juniper, has not been discovered by the natives for the time being.

But the difference in appearance is too huge, if you enter their village directly, you will still be recognized.

The sense of presence is reduced, but it is not invisible.

"If you go up to say hello directly, as an outsider, you don't know how you will be treated."

Wayne stroked his chin and thought for a while, then quietly left.

After all, although the aborigines here are very kind in my impression, it was for Chopper who was mistaken for a civet cat.

He looks like that, it's hard to be unkind to him——

Except when you're hungry.

But people's attitudes toward humans outside their own group are likely to be quite different.

"To be on the safe side, make some preparations."

...

"Wooka!"

"Wow...the strange bird is here again!"

"attack!"

"Boom..."

Explosions, screams, and strange calls of giant birds are common fights between people and birds on the island.

Aboriginal people need herbs and plants with special functions that grow on giant trees and even in bird's nests.

And as the giant bird side, these dangerous humans are absolutely not allowed to enter their territory, let alone their nests.

Therefore, whenever an aborigine touches into their territory, once they are discovered, they will be chased and killed by giant birds.

This has been a tradition that has lasted for an unknown number of years.

And the result...

Often it is the natives who fail.

That's why it's called the kingdom where "birds rule over humans".

"Ahh...it failed again, it's obviously very close to that herb!"

At the entrance of the village, two aborigines are standing guard.

The strange bird finally left, this time it was fine, and no one was seriously injured.

But even so, the village was noisy for a while before it calmed down.

An aboriginal man with a chubby beard tugged at his short bun in frustration:

"How many times is this this month?"

"Hahaha, just go again next time!"

The bearded aborigine next to him seemed to be used to such things, so he didn't find it strange at all:

"It's the giant bird I was eyeing, so many people didn't catch it..."

His chubby hands stroked his big belly, looking fascinated:

"Giant Bird Hot Pot, when can I taste that wonderful taste?"

"Did you smell anything other than that?"

The circle-bearded aborigine raised his nose, took a deep breath, and his small eyes sparkled:

"This smell... so fragrant!"

"Ah! This is..."

The bearded native sniffed it carefully, opened his mouth wide, and the saliva flowed out:

"It's wine! Delicious wine!"

"That's right! It's much more fragrant than the wine brewed in the village!"

The circle-bearded native narrowed his eyes. Just smelling it made him happier than the last time he drank wine.

"Plants suitable for winemaking all grow in the territory of giant birds, which is rare!"

The bearded native tightened the bazooka in his hand and licked his lips:

"That's why wine is even more rare. If you can drink some occasionally, it's still mixed with a lot of water...

"I've only seen this kind of wine smell in books in the library!"

The two looked at each other with sparkling eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Be sure to find this fine wine!"

The two tiptoed into the forest and began to follow the scent.

"It's so far..."

The aboriginal people with circle beards got more and more shocked as they walked:

"It's so fragrant from such a long distance, how good is this wine!"

"The scent is getting stronger...is it there!"

The bearded aboriginal raised his bazooka and looked around warily.

"No danger... huh?!"

He froze suddenly, there was movement of a big guy in front of his sight!

He quickly grabbed his companion and approached cautiously——

"This, this is..."

The two aborigines were stunned to find that it was a giant bird sleeping soundly!

Next to the giant bird, there was a well-proportioned man in a hat, who was moving a huge log.

Next to him is a whole row of wine barrels dug from huge logs!

The scent hit their faces, and the two felt that they were already drunk!
