Chapter 344: Lodestar Island

Chapter 344: Lodestar Island

Lodestar Island's weather surprises the Clown Pirates a lot. Even though they've seen many types of absurd things in Grandline, they will still get surprised by other absurd things. They all just can't understand how these absurd things can happen and why there will always be different types of absurdities.

This is also the case now when they see Lodestar Island's weather. They've just moved around the island, but they've seen its strangeness already. This island that is shaped like a star has different weather on each of its sides.

The 1st side is very hot that everything is dried. The 2nd side is very cold and everything is frozen. The 3rd side is very dark and rain keeps pouring there. The 4th side is a disastrous place with tornadoes and lightning strikes. While the 5th side is full of healthy plants and flowers.

The 1st to 5th sides are placed sequentially in a clockwise direction. So the 1st side is between the 5th & 2nd side and so on. That's why it's very strange to see plants grow healthy between a dried place and a place full of natural disasters.

The other combinations are as weird as that and it becomes weirder because the weather on each side seems to be separated by straight lines in the center area. It really makes them curious about what the center point where all those 5 types of weather meet look like.

Buggy is also looking at the island strangely because it seems different from his memory. Sure, his memory of this place is very hazy because it's the memory of the old Buggy's soul before the current him lived in this body.

However, he believes that the weather combination wasn't like this in the past. The types of weather are the same as back then, but the positions were different back then. He isn't sure about the detail, but he's sure the current weather positions are different than some years ago. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Well, even the snake-like currents that surrounded the island in the past have changed into a sea of flame. So the weather on the island can change too, even if it's just their positions, not the types of weather.

Anyway, the crew lands on the calmest side of the island, the side with a lot of trees and flowers. It's an obvious choice because the other sides' weather is bad. They don't want to make their lives more difficult by docking their ship on those sides.

The crew gets out of their ship, and every one of the crew members. This island is uninhabited and there is a sea of flame as a barrier that blocks the ones who try to enter. So they don't need to guard the ship because there won't be unwanted people who will enter their ship.

"Alright, as usual, we will go in groups to explore the island. There might be no humans here, but there are animals, and some of them are dangerous, so be careful. Always remember what I kept saying to you. Don't underestimate anything just because you've gotten much stronger," says Buggy.

The crew nods before they form their usual exploration groups. Then they start exploring the good place with a lot of plants first. Even this side is quite wide, so they already move separately with their groups.

As usual, Buggy is taking the teens & his secretary, Dela with him. These teenagers are troublemakers, after all, so they need someone who can make these 4 behave. Buggy is the best option for this because he can make them behave and protect them from anything as well.

They explore the nice side and find many animals living there. The herbivores dominate this place because they have enough food here. Of course, there are carnivores & omnivores, but their numbers are quite low, especially the carnivores.

"You will be very lucky if you can find anything worth selling here," says Buggy.

"Have Roger Pirates taken everything?" asks Alan.

"What do you think? Will pirates like us let go of precious treasures that are scattered on an uninhabited island?" asks Buggy.

"Sigh, no," says Alan disappointedly.

"But well, who knows? Maybe there are some leftovers," says Buggy.

The teens get rather spirited by what Buggy says. Even if there are only scraps, treasures are treasures, and they love treasures no matter how little they are. So the teens start their treasure hunting again.

The crew that explores the green place separately then moves to different sides too. Then when Brook's group explores the dry area, they find a hidden door that was blocked by a big stone. They found it after being chased by a giant mole and the mole hits the underground room's wall, which made it faint and Brook's group found the hidden door.

They are looking at it and Brook says, "Someone please call our Lord."
