Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 41: The Promised Gorge, Weiwei Appears
"Hmph, trespassing into other people's territory privately,"

The old man put away the newspaper and stood up.

"Do you think this is the belly of a mouse?"

·······
"Sure enough, we were indeed swallowed by a whale."

Nami, who had recovered, looked at the surrounding scenery thoughtfully.

"No wonder, I said that the clouds in the sky have not changed all the time..."

"That's what I drew."

·······
"Then...why is there light?"

"It's a plant called glowing moss that lives on the whale's stomach wall." The old man pointed to the 'sea surface'... Well, it's actually far from the whale's stomach juices, where there is a huge iron gate.

"That's the exit, you can go through there..."

Boom! !

The violent vibration interrupted the old man's words and made his face stern.

"You wait for me,"

After speaking, without waiting for Nami, Luffy and the others to react, they jumped into the sea with a plop.

"What should we do now?"

As several people looked at each other, the Golden Merry had slowly turned around.

"Cold salad! Why don't you come and row a boat?"

A long oar was thrown onto the deck by the 'white knight', and Roman, who was at the helm, looked at the coolie trio angrily.

"Start work! Let's go to the exit and wait for this uncle to open the door."

It is impossible to salt fish, and there is no future for salted fish in this world. ——Don’t you see, Aaron used to be a murloc cadre working hard on the great route, but he went to the East China Sea to salt fish for 11 years, and the whole person was useless!

"There is no wind here, you can only move forward by manual paddling, and leave it to you."

No matter what, the Golden Merry is a sea-going ship, at least dozens of tons.Fortunately, the coolie trio are strong monsters, and propelling the sailboat with oars is not a problem for them.but:
"This vibration...what is this whale doing...?"

"It's hitting the red soil continent,"

Roman took up the topic angrily, "Did you not pay attention before? Just look at the dense wounds on the top of his head~~"

"Then why did it hit the red soil continent?"

Facing Usopp's question, Roman, who was at the helm, rolled his eyes, "Maybe it can't think of it."

·······
Soon, the violent shaking stopped slowly, and the Golden Merry also came to the huge iron gate.If the old man is right, open this place and you can-

Bang!
On a platform above the huge iron gate, a normal door was opened by a violent vibration, and two rolled out from inside...
"Ahhhh~~~"

"I'm going to fall~~~"

Plop, plop!
Two figures, a man and a woman, danced down and fell into the sea...the whale's gastric juice, but there was another figure:
"Ah~~,"

"Beautiful lady, I'm here to save you~~"

With this kind of performance, who else besides Sanji is on the Golden Merry?Everyone else watched the show calmly, so after Sanji brought up the girl with the blue ponytail and another man with a crown:

"Who are these two guys~"

"With a cannon, isn't it a bounty hunter?"

Just as a few people looked at the two men and women in strange clothes, the old man's roar came from the small platform of the iron gate.

"With me, I will never let you hurt Rab!"

? ?
"We do not·····"

Luffy and a few people looked blank, only to deny Sanlian with "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense", and the iconic villain laughter came from behind.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hehehe~~~"

"Now we're in the belly of a whale..."

"Just opening a hole in the stomach can make..."

As they were talking, the two men and women who had just been rescued directly picked up the...bazooka...bazooka...whatever when the trigger was pressed, and the two artillery shells blasted towards the 'wall' on the old man's side!

"Don't think about—"

At the critical moment, I saw that the old man suddenly jumped in front of the cannonball!With two rumblings, black smoke fell.

!

"Hohoho, if you want to protect this whale, it's up to you~~~"

"Hahaha, we're going to use it as food for our town—"

Bang, bang!

The men and women who looked like standard villains were just raised for a second when they were knocked to the ground with one punch by Luffy behind them!
"Well, I can't help but beat people."

·······
Just as everyone else was focusing on these two funny ratios, only Roman looked at the old man who was blasted into the water and climbed out in front of him: Kurokas.

Ha ha,

The face is hit by the shells, but even the glasses are unscathed, how dare you say that you will not be domineering?
------

"This whale's name is Rabu, and its race is 'Island Whale'." Because Luffy stopped the two men and women who intended to hurt the whale, the old man also took advantage of the situation and explained the cause and effect.

"The two thugs were playing with the idea of ​​Rabu, because it has enough meat to feed a town's people for a few years."

"But I won't let them succeed, not only because Rab is my friend, but also my agreement with others."

Agreed, a simple word, but carries the dreams and stories of countless people.

"Many years ago, a group of pirates from the West Sea passed by here. It's not so much that they were pirates, but rather a music group..." With the old man's narration, Roman, Luffy and his party also knew this story.

"Their ship was damaged on the way to the great line and stayed here for a while, and we became friends too."

"Rabu was too small to follow them into the Great Route, so they left Rabu here and agreed to come back to pick up Rabu after a week around the Great Route..."

As a result, this trip lasted for 50 years!

"50 years? That is to say..."

"That's right, that pirate group has been buried by the Great Route."

"And Rab has grown from a small whale to a real 'island whale' over the years. It has no way to swim back to the West Sea through the great route to verify whether its companions have returned to their hometowns... "

In fact, with the IQ of Elabor able to understand human language, how could it not know that the former 'partners' have probably already died in the sea?

It's just...just...I'm not reconciled!

"So this giant whale named Rabu is blocking the entrance of the great route, and at the same time keeps hitting the red soil continent?"

"Yes, and the only thing I can do is quiet it down with medication."

clack clack,
As the huge iron gate opened, a waterway appeared in front of the Golden Merry.

"From here to the outside sea area, after you go out, you will be safe."

"Wow, to actually build such a place in the belly of a whale, this is really..."

Facing Nami's admiration, the old man answered calmly.

"Take this as a doctor's playful heart, because the Rab is too huge and can only be treated from the inside of the body..."

"Huh? Are you a doctor?"

Luffy found his blind spot, "Come and be a ship doctor on our ship~~"

"Stop joking, old man, I don't have the energy to toss with you young people anymore..."

As the gate opened, the Golden Merry slowly sailed out of Rabu's belly.As for the two men and women who intended to kill whales.

"What do they do?"

"Just drop it around here..."

thump, thump,
"Ah, that girl with blue hair and ponytail is really a mysterious woman~~"

In the face of the Straw Hat Pirates who 'let them go', the men and women in the water have the looks of a 'standard villain'.

"Let's wait and see, Bumper Pirates!"

"We will definitely take this whale!"

After finishing the harsh words, he turned around and left with a swirl of water. Roman's eyes were opened.

As expected of a great route, even the two miscellaneous soldiers have the good skills of 'white stripes in the waves'!No, they weren't actually miscellaneous soldiers. The two of them were agents of the 'Baroque Studio' under Crocodile Crocodile.

The male code name Mr.9 is a fake prince who looks very unreliable.

The girl's code name is Miss. Wednesday, she is a... well, she is still a villain with a very 'hot eye' style!

Of course, Roman knew very well that the other party also had another identity, the princess of the kingdom of Alabasta: Neferutari-Vivi.

Go undercover to 'Baroque Studio' to investigate the brave girl behind the scenes for the sake of her country.

Vivi,
Roman turned around in his mind, thinking about whether he could bypass this 'plot'.The final conclusion is: unless he directly changes the next schedule, or with the temper of Luffy and Nami, he will definitely not die...

In that case, it also means going up against the 'Sand Crocodile'!

Shichibukai, Crocodile.

The first true 'master' on the great route!The powerhouse who pushed Luffy and his party into a corner with ease several times!
Although Roman once complained that he and Moria were 'stepping stones', but I have to admit that with the current strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, there is no suspense when encountering sand crocodiles...
Spike!

So, how did Luffy win? !

Forget it, shook his head and didn't think about it, Roman's eyes involuntarily fell on the old man in shirt and shorts: Kurokas.

This One Piece ship doctor must be proficient in seeing, hearing and domineering, otherwise how would he dare to dig out various tunnel buildings in the body of the whale Rabu?At the same time, I just performed the unique skill of catching cannonballs with one hand and face, even if the armed color can't be 'shown' (obvious black), but at least it can be wrapped around to increase defense...

I can only try to see if I can take out something from the other party.

Otherwise...is it really relying on 'fate' to defeat the sand crocodile?

Anyway, Roman can't do it!
Even if it is stealing, cheating, poisoning, or assassinating, he must take his own destiny into his own hands.
