Chapter 34 I want to be the bully in little garden
The ancient island, little garden.
In a natural harbor on the island's inland river, Bane and others have tied up their ship. They have set up a very professional temporary camp. Bounty hunters need to know some survival skills for the wild. Among these hundreds of bounty hunters, there are always specialists in different areas.
The camp is not only large and professional but also has cannons from ships placed in strategic spots around it. There are also two patrol teams, each with thirty people, watching the camp's borders.
There is no choice, little garden is an undeveloped island. The whole island feels primitive and wild, making everyone cautious.
Yesterday, while coming in from the inland river, Moo almost got eaten by two Mosasaurs. Luckily, Bane spotted the danger in time and saved Moo.
After they landed on the island, they faced several dinosaur attacks, which created a lot of chaos.
Of course, the dinosaurs that attacked them are now being cooked.
In the center of the camp, there is a large barbecue grill. A Tyrannosaurus Rex has been cut into pieces and is roasting over the hot flames.
Nearby, there is a giant iron pot. This pot was originally used by Arlong and his friends to feed Moo sometimes, but now it is being used to stew soup.
A Mosasaur has been cleaned and cut into pieces suitable for the pot. It is swirling around inside. The smell of the food is making everyone in the camp drool.
At the same time, an old tree has been chopped down and shaped into a long wooden block, which serves as a dining table across the camp. A big group of bounty hunters is sitting there, enjoying wine and barbecue.
At the center of this long table are the seats for Bane, Zoro, and Nami.
Right now, Zoro can hardly eat anymore. He is drinking the "Mosasaur Fish Soup" with a blank look in his eyes, as if lost in thought.
Nami stopped eating a long time ago. She doesn't have a big appetite anyway, and to stay in shape, she manages her diet strictly.
Her table is neat, covered with a tablecloth, and filled with many nautical books. At this moment, Nami is sipping fruit wine and reading a navigator's book.
These books, of course, were all found in Whiskey Peak. Some were given to her by these bounty hunters, and some she bought herself in the town.
The sources of the books are very complex. There are books from all four major seas: east, west, south, and north. They are mostly things stolen by pirates and later ended up with bounty hunters like them.
Zoro and Nami finished their fight with food, but Bane did not. He had been sitting there eating since morning and continued into the afternoon after he woke up and got ready. Plates and skewers were piled around him like mountains. Seven or eight strong men took turns to help clean the table and bring him more food. It could be said that Bane ate half of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This surprising scene shocked the bounty hunters on the team, and they realized Boss Bane was not an ordinary person.
Putting other things aside, his ability to digest food is unreasonable. A man over two meters tall can eat most of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in just one morning. Is that reasonable? While Bane was enjoying his meal, Zoro seemed to have relaxed. He looked at Bane and asked, "How is it? Do the dinosaurs here help you grow stronger? "
Their main purpose for visiting little garden was to see if the food there could greatly benefit Bane. They had decided that if Bane really gained from being there, he would stay for a long time.
But after Zoro asked Bane, he noticed that Bane only glanced at him with annoyance, snorted coldly, and kept eating. Normally, Zoro would argue with Bane, but this situation was different. After Bane showed his disdain, Zoro felt embarrassed and said, "It's been several days, why are you still mad? Can you be a bit kinder? "
"How dare you ask me that! ? " Bane shouted and slammed a Tyrannosaurus Rex leg bone on the table, breaking it with one hit. The strong men nearby stepped back in fear.
Before Zoro could respond, Bane angrily said, "Even though nothing bad happened in the end, your rush to act almost killed hundreds of my people! "
This time, Zoro and Mihawk's meeting was not calm followed by a normal challenge like in the original story.
They happened to meet on the sea, and Mihawk attacked their ship right away. No one understood what this top swordsman was thinking. Normally, they should have just run away from his attack.
But because of Zoro, Bane and the others had to fight Mihawk directly. Luckily, Mihawk admired Zoro. After their fight, he changed his mind about killing Bane and the others. He sat in his small boat and let the ocean current carry him away.
"As a swordsman, who can resist drawing his sword when meeting the world's greatest swordsman? " Zoro said with a sigh.
Although he had his thoughts, he realized he was really wrong this time. So before Ben could scold him again, he quickly said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? From now on, I will listen to you, bro! "
Bane originally wanted to respond, but when he heard the boy call him "bro" and saw that he understood his mistake, Bane finally snorted twice,, and started eating meat again.
Seeing this, the underlinga around them all felt relieved. But Nami didn't pay attention to them at all. She clearly believed that Bane would forgive Zoro for this.
After noticing that Bane had stopped being angry, Zoro asked again, "So you still haven't told me how you feel? "
"Look at me, I have been eating from morning till night without stopping. Isn't the answer obvious? " Bane gritted his teeth and tore into the barbecue. The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile. He said, "This place is great. These dinosaurs have been around since ancient times. They are more nutritious than sea beasts. They are even better than the several sea kings I have eaten before. You know, this is my feedback since my physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before! "
After a short pause, Bane lifted the bone in his hand and laughed loudly, "So we have to live here for a while. I want to eat the dinosaurs here to extinction! "
Bane thinks this place is great, so he wants to indulge himself in little garden! "That's perfect. I can use this time to learn more about the Grand Line. These books are also very useful. " Nami looked up and supported him.
Seeing this, Zoro also spoke up and said, "Well, Mihawk gave me some tips. I've been restless these past few days, so this is a good chance for me to calm down and practice here. "
"However, these living histories that have been passed down from ancient times are now very rare. They can only be found on a few ancient islands in this ocean. If you eat up an entire island and destroy it, wouldn't that be too extravagant? " A charming and smart voice suddenly spoke to everyone.
Nami hadn't reacted yet. Once she heard this, she agreed and said, "That's right. We should leave some alone. Hmm? What's wrong with you? "
She looked up at that moment and saw Zoro in front of her with a serious expression and his hand on the sword at his waist.
At that moment, Nami clearly noticed that a woman had emerged from the big tree that Bane was leaning against, as if a flower had bloomed! Bane didn't even turn his head and continued to eat the barbecue in his hand. In this strange atmosphere, after he finished the barbecue, he slowly said. "Nico Robin, a woman like you with a bounty of 79 million Berries appears in the camp of our bounty hunters. What do you think will happen? Have you thought it through? "
