As they were getting closer to the Drum Kingdom, everyone felt the chill coming. The sunny sky began to snow.
Because they were about to arrive at the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, and with such a beautiful snow scene, Xiao Yan finally gave everyone a day off.
It's not like Freya hasn't seen snow in winter before, but the snow on the sea is completely different from the snow on the island. Because there is no land to receive the snow, the snow will directly melt into the sea after it falls.
The blue sea and the white snowy sky are separated, as if entering a dream world.
Freya, wearing a thick coat and holding a cup of hot coffee, stood on the mast, looking at the psychedelic world in the distance with a happy face. Compared with the painful training in the past two weeks, the days now are simply too comfortable, and there is such a beautiful snow scene to accompany.
"It's really comfortable without having to practice. But this is too weird. It was warm like summer in the morning, but now it's suddenly as cold as winter, and it's snowing."
"Because the place we are going to belongs to Winter Island," answered Tiger.
The fishmen living in the underwater world have no chance to see snow, so Tiger also has a unique love for snow.
However, it seems that the murloc's body is very afraid of cold. Tiger has such a strong body, but at this moment he is wrapped thicker than Freya.
"Winter Island!? Aren't the seasons on the islands in the Grand Line different?"
"Yes, the climate of the Grand Route is very complex and changeable. So, it is very likely that it was sunny an hour ago, and then it was stormy and snowy an hour later. This is a common occurrence. However, the climate of the islands on the Grand Route is generally very stable, mainly divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. So, generally speaking, when traveling on the Grand Route, if the climate suddenly becomes stable, it means that we are about to reach our destination."
It has to be said that it was a very wise choice for Xiao Yan to find Tiger to be his navigator. Not to mention, Tiger's navigation skills, the wisdom and experience that Tiger possesses are a very valuable asset.
Xiao Yan , who was one step ahead because of the plot, really couldn't compare with Taige. "I see."
Freya suddenly understood, but then asked in confusion. "But the weather was normal on the way here." Tiger smiled and Xiao Yan helped him explain.
"That's all because of Tiger. It's because he discovered the climate change in advance and led our ship to avoid it." "I see, Mr. Tiger is really reliable!!!"
"Hahaha. After all, I'm the ship's navigator. If I don't have this little skill, I'd be letting down the captain."
At this moment, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and a person wrapped like a dumpling ran out, came to Freya, rubbed her thigh happily and said.
"Sister Freya, let's build a snowman."
Although the time on the ship was only 14 days, the little guy liked it more and more. The most obvious manifestation was that he changed from relying only on Enelu at the beginning to relying on everyone.
Especially now, she still eats and sleeps with Freya every day, and her dependence on Freya is almost close to that of Enelu.
Freya was also very happy.
The two of them also happily built a snowman on the deck.
Not long after, a snowman about the same size as them appeared, and the two of them happily dressed up the snowman.
Enelu also came up from the bottom of the cabin. He didn't feel cold at all. He came out wearing a simple top and a coat. "Charging is complete. Is the island in front of us our destination?"
"ah."
As soon as the words fell, a white island with three mountains standing like magnetic drums appeared in everyone's sight in the white snow fog.
Looking at it this way, it is really spectacular!
"Are we just going to approach them directly? The Drum Kingdom is also one of the member states of the world. If we show up directly like this, our whereabouts will probably be leaked out soon. Then..."
Tiger said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Enelu, how is your research on Den Den Mushi going?"
"It's not a big problem. We can already use radio waves to interfere with and block its call function."
"After you get on the island, you can do whatever you want. Pay attention to surveillance and don't expose yourself. Don't let anyone spread any news about us before we leave."
"no problem."
Tiger was relieved when he saw this. "It's really reliable and reassuring."
However, Xiao Yan seemed to have overestimated the humans in this world. When the Gemini Goddess slowly approached the island,
Both Xiao Yan and Enel's observation Haki told them the same result. "It seems that no one noticed us at all."
"Ah, everyone seems to be gathered in one place, watching the fun" "What a strange world"
At this moment, as the boat was getting closer to the shore, Xiao Yan 's observation Haki also heard something interesting, so he turned to Freya and the others and asked.
"You two want to go explore the island?"
"Of course, the food on the ship needs to be replenished. I also plan to prepare some more beautiful clothes for me and my friends. The clothes on the ship are so ugly."
How could Freya not go to such an interesting island? She nodded excitedly.
"In that case, after you park the boat, you and Tiger can move freely. Just be sure to protect yourself. I'll let Enelu inform you if anything happens. I found something interesting, so I'll go ahead." "Okay, Captain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan 's figure disappeared from the spot.
——————————————
Not far from the port of the Drum Kingdom, there is a small village.
In addition to some soldiers stationed here to guard the kingdom's port, there are also some enthusiastic villagers living here.
Originally, this place was very welcoming to outsiders. After all, as a famous medical power in the Grand Route, many people came here to seek medical treatment, and the entire kingdom also gained considerable wealth as a result.
But just two years ago, everything changed.
All this was because of the two princes of the King of the Drum Kingdom, the eldest prince Musuru and the second prince Walpo.
They were only 9 and 7 years old respectively, but the word stupidity was already written on their faces. Not only did they set high entry fees at the ports, raising the medical expenses of doctors in the country to a terrifying level, they also collected high taxes.
What makes the people on the island even more desperate is that the king of the Drum Kingdom is now very old, and it may not be long before one of these two princes will become their king in the future.
Even though the king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom knew that his two sons were stupid, he was reluctant to teach his two sons a lesson as he had sons in his old age.
Therefore, the entire Drum Kingdom was heading in a worse and worse direction. For example, right now, on the white road connecting the port to the village.
The eldest prince Muxuru and the second prince Walpo, along with their guards, surrounded the two men, one big and one small, and started beating and kicking them.
"Bagayalu, you bastard, you have no money and you still want to get treatment, you are dreaming" "The untouchables should just die obediently"
"One hundred million berries, if you can come up with one hundred million berries, maybe I can let my father's doctor treat your sister, hahahaha."
The surrounding soldiers and villagers couldn't bear to watch this scene. They saw the blood-covered boy holding his pale little girl tightly in the thick snow to prevent her from getting hurt, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.
And just at this moment, a lazy voice sounded.
"I don't know what happened exactly, but I'll pay 100 million Pele."
