One Piece: My Spirit

Chapter 255 Chapter 255 Emerald

The Emerald City, although the name sounds like an island that mainly produces emeralds, but in fact this island has nothing to do with emeralds.

This island has a special ore called 'Night Stone'. Normally, this ore is transparent and white, but once placed in the sun, this white and transparent ore will turn green, which looks like an emerald. Therefore, this special ore is also called 'Emerald' by the locals.

Of course, this 'emerald' is different from the normal recognized emerald. This kind of 'emerald' that absorbs sunlight and turns green will release all the sunlight absorbed during the day at night, so it is also called 'luminous stone' and 'sun stone'.

However, for a better distinction, outsiders usually use 'luminous stone' to distinguish real emeralds.

So the emerald capital is actually an island with a well-developed lighting industry!

After landing in the emerald city, Shire found that 'emeralds' can be seen everywhere on the island, whether it is the streets of the town or the tops of the houses, almost all kinds of 'emeralds' are dotted.

The green color of the 'emerald' is not a light source, and most of the 'emeralds' are light green and transparent, so not only will it not be dazzling or weird, but it will make people feel as comfortable as being in a natural forest.

This can't help but make Xia Re amazed, this magical 'emerald' is very common on this island, and there are shops selling this kind of 'emerald' in the streets and alleys, so the 'emerald capital' also attracts many tourists.

And it is said that the real charm of this "Emerald City" is at night, because the "Emerald" will release all the sunlight absorbed during the day at night, so the whole island is still "brightly lit" at night, it is simply a "city that never sleeps"!

Charles was playing with an 'emerald' he just bought from a small stall. This rhombus-shaped 'emerald' looked very beautiful indeed, and the crystal clear and luminous properties of 'emerald' could also be made into various exquisite and beautiful lamps.

"However, this kind of stone is very similar to the 'Night Pearl'."

After Charles learned of the magical properties of this stone, the first thing that came to his mind was the extremely precious 'Night Pearl'!

It's just that on this island, this kind of ore similar to 'night pearl' has become a bad street thing.

But besides that, Charles also discovered one more thing, that is, the sea area of ​​the emerald capital they are in is actually similar to the location of an island in the original plot!

That is Magic Valley Town!That is Gaya Island!

From the sea chart, the sea area where the Emerald City is located is next to the sea area where Gaya Island is located. The distance between the two sides is about one to two days.

Thinking of this, Charles also began to think about whether he could try to use the 'upwelling current'?After all, this is the only way to reach high altitudes.

It's just that sometimes, like that classic saying, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

As night falls, the Emerald City at night seems to be very different from the daytime. The whole island is as lively as the daytime because of the 'Emerald'. Not even the Emerald City at night is more lively and crazy than the daytime!

Generally speaking, in the era when electric lights were not yet fully popularized, because of the lack of bright environments and lighting tools, the nights in most places were extraordinarily deserted, and there were basically no entertainment activities.

But in today's modern cities, it is no longer difficult to be brightly lit, and even night is the true face of most cities.

The same is true of the emerald capital, because of the natural luminescent lighting tool 'emerald', the true face of the island of the emerald capital can only be seen at night!

After entering the night, countless entertainment venues have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. There are streets and alleys with red lights and green wine, and there are also major entertainment venues with bright lights.

The place with the most traffic is the North District in the emerald city. Apart from ordinary people and tourists, there are also many pirates here, because this is the largest bar street and entertainment chess and card hall on the entire island!

Although Charles is not interested in gambling, it does not prevent him from coming here to inquire about news and intelligence.

Although there are mixed dragons and snakes in the casino, the advantage of the mixed dragons and snakes is that it is easy to inquire about all kinds of gossip, but as for the authenticity of the news, it is up to you to distinguish it yourself.

When Shire came to this largest chess and card center, it was full of all kinds of sinking desires. Most of the people who came here were after money and excitement, so they could hear crazy cheers and desperate wailing from time to time, but most of them were poor people who were getting deeper and deeper without knowing themselves.

"I didn't expect such a crazy side to be hidden on this island."

At this time, the glamorous side of the emerald city at night also made Charles feel a little bit disobedient.

"Boss, you have to be careful. I've been here a few times before. The people here have black hearts and black hands!" The strong man of Giles said carefully beside Shire.

Giles is the captain of the pirate ship that Shire was riding on. He also saw Shire's bicycle that can ride on the sea, so he also made up his mind, but he didn't expect that he and the whole pirate group were included in it in the end.

Afterwards, Giles found out that the other party was actually a wanted criminal with a reward of [-] million Berries!

'Silver-eyed Beheader', when Giles learned of Shire's nickname, he felt his neck chill from time to time!

"How could I have been blinded by lard at that time!"

However, Giles has roughly figured out Shire's character from the beginning of fear and fear. As long as he keeps himself safe and does not do anything out of line, Shire is still very easy to get along with, and after getting along with him these few days, he has felt something called 'respect'.

Giles could feel that Shire treated each of them with an equal attitude, without any condescension or contempt for the weak. Of course, he also understood that all of this had a premise.

The Emerald City is a well-known chess and card casino in the nearby waters, so Giles has been here several times, and he is well aware of the tricks and shady scenes. The Emerald City at night can be described as a carnival place for gamblers!
