One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 196 First Landing on the Island

When the Bifur docked on the shore of the island, Profik also saw the appearance of the island clearly.

This island is not small. As soon as he set foot on the island, Profic felt the biting cold. Obviously, this is a winter island! Moreover, it is a winter island covered with ice and snow all year round.

The port pier is almost completely covered with snow. Looking from a distance, it is also an endless expanse of white. Even on the road to the dock, the thickness of the snow has exceeded one meter. The biting cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, allowed him to experience the feeling of "the limelight is like a knife cutting through the surface".

Through the wind and snow, Profik saw that in the center of the island was a solitary peak towering into the clouds. The visual height is over three thousand meters, and the slope is even more exaggerated. Many places appear to be at a ninety-degree angle. The entire mountain is completely white because it is covered with snow.

The "winter island" nature of this island is much stronger than that of Magnetic Drum Island. Although Cigu Island is also extremely cold, it has not yet reached the point where heavy snow covers everything. On this island, you can't even see normal roads.

This is not surprising. The islands in the world of One Piece are full of strange things. Whether it is seasons, climate, composition or ecosystem, it cannot be inferred by common sense.

What's more, this is a new world.

Here, there is the "Luo Lei Island" that continuously releases thunder and lightning from the sky, there is the "Zuo Wu" on the back of an elephant, there is the "Wano Country" with extremely closed terrain, and even an island composed entirely of ice and giant trees. .

In comparison, the island in front of me was nothing more than a winter island with a large, ridiculously high mountain range in the center. In the New World, it was not a big deal.

As long as it is inhabited and not a completely primitive type of island, it is fine.

Anyway, Profic's basic goal is just to replenish some living supplies on this island and see if he can buy record pointers to other islands. Of course, Profik also plans to see if there are people with good strength and good character. If so, he can try to invite them to become partners.

And if the location or properties of this island are extremely valuable, and it is not the territory of a powerful pirate group, then you can also consider using it as one of Daybreak's strongholds.

But Profik felt that the possibility was extremely slim. After all, the competition in the new world is fierce, and the islands with generally better conditions have been carved up by the four emperors and a few big pirates. What's left is mostly barren and dangerous areas.

What's more, most of the winter islands are extremely barren and unlikely to have rich products.

This time, it was Profik who led Star, Gao Shifu and Danjuma to the island, while Matifa, Morana, Fuentes and Brooke temporarily stayed on the Bifur. There is no way, no one knows if there will be any accidents. No matter which group, they must have strong enough combat power as a guarantee of safety.

While walking hard in the snow, Profic said, "Our purpose is to buy recording pointers and replenish the food reserves on the ship. However, if you find any interested targets, you can also invite them to become companions."

"In addition, the situation in the New World is very different from the first half of the Grand Line, and the dangers are much greater. We must pay special attention to safety!"

"This is a flare purchased from the Shampoo Islands. If there is an emergency, set off this red flare immediately. Everyone who sees the red flare will rush over immediately!"

"If it's something else that requires everyone to gather but is not dangerous, just pull this blue flare."

Even Profik couldn't equip every member with a rare little creature like a telephone bug. What's more, a phone call requires three steps: dialing, connecting, and speaking. It also takes a lot of time to express your meaning, and it is likely to be interrupted in an emergency.

But flares are different. As long as the meanings of different colors of flares are agreed in advance, information can be conveyed quickly and long distances, which is especially suitable for responding to various emergencies.

After entering the village, the four of them acted separately.

Profic and Star chose to wander around the village, intending to inquire about some news in the village - although it seemed a bit closed, it was an island at the entrance to the new world after all, so it was possible that they might know some news.

Gao Shifu is going to go shopping to see if there are any sailing supplies suitable for use in extreme weather. He feels that it is necessary to update some equipment for the Bifur when sailing in the new world.

As for Danjuma, in addition to being very curious about the strange sight of snow for the first time and wanting to experience the fun, she also shouldered a task assigned by Fuentes - to buy some daily necessities. Originally, Fuentes was unwilling to entrust him with such a "major" task, but Danjuma couldn't bear it and volunteered. Therefore, he decided to play in the snow at the entrance of the village for a while, and then go to the market to buy vegetables (if there was a market in the village).

Soon, both Profik and Star, who entered the village, discovered an even more unusual situation.

Compared with the outside of the village, the snow inside the village is indeed less, but it is still extremely exaggerated. Everything in the village is white, and all roads and floors are completely covered with snow.

What's even more exaggerated is that many of the buildings in the village are simply igloos made of ice and snow, and some even look like they're more than half buried by the snow. This kind of building reminded Profik of the traditional building of the Inuit people in the Arctic Circle in their previous life - the "igloo".

Moreover, many houses were surrounded by thick snow and ice blocks to build high walls, and even glaring defense facilities such as ice horses and spikes were made. Through the courtyard wall, you can still see various weapons placed at the door of some people's homes, seemingly for defense.

"This is too strange, isn't it? The snow is not heavy enough to cover the road at once. We should clean up the village, right?" Star couldn't help but said.

Profik nodded, agreeing with Star's point of view.

At this rate of snowfall, even if it rained twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week, we still wouldn't be able to pile up such a thick layer of snow! The only reasonable explanation is that the snow gets significantly heavier here at certain times!

Moreover, such thick snow piled on the road is not only unsightly, extremely inconvenient to move around, but also very dangerous.

However, it is their freedom to decide what kind of lifestyle they adopt in the village, and Profik does not intend to interfere. Maybe the people in this village just like to coexist with the thick snow!

Suddenly, an old man's voice came from behind:

"Young people, are you wondering why the village is like this?"
