21 Vivi

Chapter 21: Vivi?

"Arrest you? Have you committed any crime, uncle?" Solo answered without thinking. Since Roger disbanded the Roger's Pirates, most of the crew have lived in seclusion. Crocus is one of them.

Although the Marine Headquarters did not revoke their bounty, they did not bother to arrest them. After all, these guys are almost all legendary figures with powerful strength, especially "Dark King" Rayleigh.

It even made the Marine Headquarters a little afraid. What's more, after Roger disbanded Roger's Pirates, these people never went out to sea again. Everyone took a step back and enjoys their old age peacefully without disturbing each other.

Otherwise, no one knows what they would do if they were disturbed. So, Solo naturally didn't bother to care about things that even the Marine Headquarters didn't care about.

Other than that, there is no explanation for the incident. Although Crocus looked harmless to humans and animals and boarded Roger's ship as a ship's doctor, his strength was extraordinary.

After the original work, Crocus used his body to resist the shells fired by Princess Vivi and Mr. 9 without any serious problems, which is enough to show how exaggerated his physical strength is.

The key is in the world of "One Piece", ship doctors are not easy to mess with like Chopper from the Straw Hat Pirates, and Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they are all ship doctors!

If he tied up Crocus here and take him to the Marine Headquarters, he will be taken to the headquarters and be promoted as Rear Admiral or even worst, Vice Admiral.

For a salty fish like Solo, this is kind of situation is a pain. Moreover, with Crocus' character, would he obediently listen to him?

Just thinking about it made Solo feel troublesome, forget it.

"No? Of course, I'm just a doctor."

Seeing that Solo didn't intend to arrest him, Crocus also ended the topic along the way. As for Solo's identity, he didn't bother to inquire, he simply chatted with Solo about the origin of Laboon.

"This matter has to start from fifty years ago."

"I am not interested."

However, as soon as Crocus started, he was directly interrupted. Solo also ate up the food in the can and added fresh water. As for Laboon's story, Solo already knew it and saw it through Laboon's actions.

The Straw Hats and the others haven't crossed the Reverse Mountains yet which surprised Solo a bit.

Did Dragon rescuing Luffy this time delayed his adventure progress? Or some other reason? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Luffy will definitely prevent Laboon from hitting the Red Line.

Since someone is intervening, he can simply be a spectator.

"What a weirdo..."

Seeing Solo's attitude, Crocus couldn't help complaining, he turned around and went back to his room, and found out the canoe he was used for fishing.

"I don't have a boat here. I only have this one. If it goes well, you should be able to stick to the next island. When you get there, it might be easier to find a boat," Crocus explained while hugging the canoe.

However, he was still quite curious, "Did you really swim from the Reverse Mountains??"

Thinking of the turbulent ocean currents, Crocus felt that it was dangerous. Relying on the physical body to swim across the Reverse Mountains in one breath, what kind of physical fitness is this? Even on Roger's Pirates, there are not many people who can compare with Solo.

"What's wrong?" Solo looked at the canoe, the hull is only two meters long and one meter wide, and there was no sail, so it can only be rowed by wood pulp.

Fortunately, my physical strength is stronger than ordinary people, just barely deal with it.

Then, Solo thanked canoe, took the canoe, put it on his shoulders as he bent his knees slightly, and then stretched them straight. In an instant, a force burst out from Solo's toes, leaving a spider web-like crack on the island.

Immediately, Solo carried the canoe and fell to the position where he went out. Whether it is strength or speed, Crocus was surprised. Not even an exaggeration to say that Crocus didn't see Solo's movements very clearly.

This guy's physical skills are extraordinary.

For a moment, Kurokas couldn't help but feel ashamed. He also believed Solo's words. It is very possible that he really swam over the Reverse Mountains relying on his physical body!

"What a terrifying man."

Looking at the back of Solo's departure, Crocus put his arms around his chest and let out a sigh of emotion. He even had a strong premonition in his heart.

Solo, a marine, will one day stand at the apex of the strongest. However, what he never dreamed of was that when he returned to the house, he suddenly found a gold coin lying on the corner of the table, which seemed to be used to cover the cost of the canoe and food.

As for Solo, he came out of Laboon's body without looking back, then threw the wooden boat into the sea, jumped on it, picked up the wooden paddle, and started paddling.

"It was a real help."

While swimming to the next island isn't a problem, paddling is always easier than swimming. Moreover, Crocus also prepared food and fresh water for him.

He is obviously a pirate, but he has a good heart. However, it was precisely because Crocus was a pirate that Solo did not deliberately act like a weakling.

Secondly, the so-called hidden strength, as long as he hasn't done his best, it's still called hidden strength.

It's also good to release the Conqueror's Haki in Loguetown and cut the sea before Hawkeye. It's just one of Solo's many-hole cards and he will never reveal his full strength in front of anyone, and that's enough. 　　

"But then again, this is the entrance to Grand Line, the only place where you can choose your route."

According to Solo's impression, there are about seven routes here each one leads to the final island, Raftel.

And only one of them is the route that Straw Hat Luffy chose. It is also the route Solo, a traveler, knows the deepest. The advantage is of course omniscience, but the disadvantage is that he may encounter Luffy.

But then again, even if he chooses another route, it may not be without trouble. It's better to use this point of understanding of the plot to stay out of trouble as much as possible.

And once he is close to Calm Belt, means that he will not encounter any pirates. He can also stay away from Luffy, the troublemaker.

The most important thing is that Calm Belt can go straight to a city, and then pass through the Gates of Justice, which is Marineford. It's a nice shortcut.

After thinking about it, Solo finally determined his route and set off for the next island.

But this time it seems that Lady Luck is smiling. After paddling for about two or three hours, a small sailboat came towards him.

And judging from the flag hanging on it, it seems to be a pirate ship. There is no need for human paddling, and there is room to sleep.

For a moment, Solo's eyes flashed with excitement.

The next second, Solo jumped directly onto the deck of the ship. However, a graceful female figure suddenly made him not calm down.

"Vivi?"
