Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 450 Arrival at Zou (asking for monthly ticket~)

The new world is a sea of ​​thick fog that even the bright sunlight can hardly penetrate.

The horrifying shadow slowly broke through the barrier of thick fog like a mountain, revealing the shocking body bit by bit.

Blah blah blah...

The turbulent waves suddenly surged up.

I saw a giant leg as thick as a pillar suddenly cutting through the already turbulent sea surface, turning the calm sea surface into a nightmare sea area for all ships.

And this extremely huge and unreal figure was the moving island named "Zou" that Chihong and his friends had been looking for - the Lord of the Elephants!

……

……

"Is this... is this really a creature that exists in this world!?"

at the same time.

In the sky more than ten kilometers away from the elephant master, with the guidance of the life card, the Merry was easily found here and hovering in the air.

Seeing the vast body of the Elephant Lord, at this moment, even the knowledgeable Straw Hat people showed expressions of amazement.

How could this be……

There is such a huge existence! ?

Even Chihong, who had long known the huge size of the Elephant Lord, could not help but think after seeing the Elephant Lord's body:

"Based on the reaction in the anime, the elephant master seems to be a male creature~"

"The back alone is enough to support a kingdom. The place where the Lord is standing must be at least the size of several towns, right?!"

"Hiss~ It's really scary when you think about it."

Chihong was thinking wildly in his mind.

Just as the Straw Hat people were shocked by the huge body of the Elephant Lord, the Elephant Lord, who was originally very far away from them, had unknowingly come to them.

However, compared with the huge body of the elephant lord, the Merry, which was only the size of a naval battleship, was like a mosquito floating above its head and did not attract the elephant lord's attention at all.

"Luffy, try entering Gear 5!"

Just then, Chihong suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Luffy, who was originally curious and excited, was suddenly stunned, but then he immediately entered the Nika form, transforming into the fifth gear Luffy with white flames surrounding his body.

"What's wrong? Are there any enemies?"

After completing the transformation, Luffy looked around and asked Red.

Seeing the empty eyes of the Elephant Lord that had not changed at all from beginning to end, Chi Hong shook his head in disappointment and said:

"It's okay, just a little test."

"You can change back now."

"Oh~"

Luffy blinked in confusion before his body returned to normal.

Although he didn't know what Chihong was doing, he knew that Chihong must have his reasons and purposes for doing so.

As expected, what the Lord was expecting was not Luffy himself, but the new Joyboy after being assimilated by the Nika-fruit.

Chihong sighed silently.

As a time traveler from Earth, he naturally doesn't like arguments about fate, bloodline, etc.

But now it seems...

Luffy's original destiny was to be assimilated by the Nika Fruit and become Nika who only knew how to laugh.

It's just because of his existence that Luffy still maintains his own independent personality. In this case, even if he enters the Nika form, Luffy still cannot become a Joy Boy recognized by the Elephant Lord.

"It seems that the idea of ​​controlling the elephant owner through the back door will fail."

Chihong laughed out loud.

"I told you~ How could the drum sound on Ghost Island be heard by the elephant master thousands of miles away~"

"It's all Nika's will that's causing all this trouble."

"Uh huh?"

As if realizing that Chihong was thinking about something related to him, little Nika, who was lying in Meili's arms, suddenly let out a chirping sound.

It was as if he was asking Chihong if he had done something wrong.

"Haha, it has nothing to do with you~" Chihong turned around and stretched out his fingers to tease little Nika.

Although the current Chibi Nika is formed by the will of the Nika Fruit, in fact its essence has long been an orthodox Pokémon from the Pokémon world!

Even its existence is more in line with the characteristics of a Pokémon than any other member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

With a flash of thought, Chihong smiled at Meili and said:

"Merry, get ready to log in!"

"I hope the fur tribe that will greet us will be kinder~"

"Otherwise, we can only give them a little straw hat shock!"

"Okay~"

Meili, who was controlling the boat, chuckled.

The next moment, a beam of azure flame suddenly spurted out from the tail wing of the Merry.

The huge propulsion force turned the Merry into a lightning meteor in the thick fog, flying quickly towards the gathering place of the plush tribe on the back of the elephant master.

……

……

at the same time.

The residence of the Fur Tribe, in the Furry Kingdom.

Because of the arrival of Akahira and others, Momonosuke and his crew were unable to even leave Wano Country, so naturally this place did not suffer the destruction from Jack as in the original work.

The vibrant vitality hangs over the furry kingdom.

Although it is called a kingdom, it is actually more like an old capital of a defeated civilization.

The Blank Clan, like animals that have invaded a human city, live in this ancient city according to animal habits.

"Wait a minute, Garrott, something seems to be wrong!"

In the dense forest, Wanda, a member of the Musketeers who was patrolling the outskirts of the Furry Kingdom as usual, suddenly stopped.

As a dog from the Fur Tribe, she suddenly moved her pointed nose, then frowned and said:

"Something's wrong! Is there a living being here?!"

"stranger!?"

Garrott, who had just joined the Musketeers, had his eyes light up and said excitedly:

"You mean to say that someone sneaked into Zou Island!?"

"Great! Patrols are so boring. Finally I have a chance to do something else!"

"Is it a pirate who accidentally landed on the island?!"

“I wonder what interesting things they might have!”

"Don't be too careless!" Seeing Carrot's attitude, the steady Wanda frowned immediately.

Although Garrott's combat capability is considered top-notch among the Musketeers, his reckless character has always been a headache for veteran members of the Musketeers, such as Wanda!

"The sea is not what we used to know."

"The appearance of the Straw Hat Pirates has eliminated many lucky people in advance. Those who can continue to sail in the New World at this time are not simple people."

Because of the elephant master, the Mink Tribe is actually in a semi-closed-off state.

No outsiders are welcome here, but contact with the outside world is not rejected either.

So every year some young Fur Tribe people leave the island and go on adventures around the world.

These people became the only bridge for the Mink Tribe to communicate with the outside world.

In addition, the Furries also regularly receive newspapers from the Newsie Gulls, so they are not completely ignorant of what is happening in the outside world.

only……

It was precisely because they learned about the events at sea that they felt even more confused.

In just one year, the changes in the sea were so great that the entire Fur Tribe was wary of everything in the outside world.

"I know!"

stab~

An arc of electricity suddenly flashed on the furry palm of Garrott.

of course……

Although they are both members of the Fur Tribe, Carrot and Wanda are fundamentally different.

Although he is a rabbit-fur tribe, only the head of Carrot has the characteristics of a normal rabbit.

Maybe humans have more genes.

There are only three places on Garrott that prove he is a fur-bearer...

Snow-white and long rabbit ears, a cute rabbit-shaped three-petal mouth, and a furry tail behind it.

The rest of her body is no different from that of a normal human.

"Ah~ Anyway, just listen to my instructions and don't act alone!"

Seeing Carrot like this, Wanda sighed helplessly.

And Garrott also grinned and said cutely:

"Hehe~ Don't worry, Wanda~"

"Leave everything to me!"

"........."

Wanda: "I think you didn't listen to what I said at all!"

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Wanda and Garrott, who were talking, stopped at the same time.

One of them quickly sniffed the sky, while the other pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

After a moment, Wanda said in surprise:

"How come it's so fast!?"

"It seems like that group of intruders are coming over here!?"

Garrot also shouted loudly: "It's from the sky! Their voices are coming from the sky!!!"

"What!?" Wanda was stunned, and her eyes quickly looked towards the distant sky in the direction Carrot was pointing.

The next second, a swift meteor suddenly appeared from behind the dense forest, and flew quickly towards the border of the Furry Kingdom at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground.

"Oh no! They went straight to the interior of the kingdom!"

Seeing this scene, Wanda screamed in horror.

And Garrott quickly picked up a whistle and blew it hard.

rustling rustling...

Along with a sharp and piercing whistle, a noisy sound suddenly rang out throughout the dense forest.

Soon after, one after another, the Musketeers came to the vicinity of Wanda and Garrott.

"Nothing happened, Wanda, Garrotte?"

A Musketeer with a lion's face, gorgeous clothes and elegant demeanor immediately asked the question.

Wanda and Garrott also reported urgently:

"Oh no, Captain Sicilian!"

"A ship just dropped from the sky and flew towards the interior of the kingdom!"

"Although I didn't see their flag clearly, I vaguely saw a skull symbol..."

"I guess they are a pirate group that has mastered some kind of flying ability!"

"Pirates!? Damn it!"

When Sicilian heard this, a look of anxiety flashed across his face.

He then suddenly drew the rapier from his waist and said to the musketeers around him:

"Everyone, stop the tasks at hand immediately, go to the capital, and eliminate the pirates!!!"

"We must not let those guys in the Knight Group laugh at us!!!"

"Yes!!!"

The members of the Musketeers responded loudly.

For some reason, the Furry Kingdom is currently in a state of division.

During the day, the king of the Furry Kingdom is Duke Inuarashi. He and his musketeers are responsible for managing the Furry Kingdom during the day.

At night, the Furry Kingdom is ruled by Cat Viper and his band of knights.

This situation has been going on for many years.

The irreconcilable relationship between Duke Inuarashi and Boss Cat Viper also led to mutual hostility between the Musketeers and the Knights.

If the members of the Knights knew that the Musketeers allowed the pirates to break into the kingdom during the day, they would not be able to hold their heads up for a long time.

So no matter what, they have to get rid of this group of pirates who broke in before the Knights find out anything unusual.

But what they could never have imagined was that when they were planning to chase the flying ship...

At this time, the flying ship was also broadcasting the images of their actions.

“That’s amazing~”

"It's possible to observe the enemy's actions in this way. It's worthy of the work of Dr. Vegapunk!"

"It looks like my Zerg reconnaissance corps is about to retire!"

On the deck of the Merry, Franky shot out two beams of light from his eyes, forming a virtual screen in the air.

And right above the virtual screen was the scene where the Musketeers had just decided to pursue the Merry.

Hearing Usopp's sigh, Franky burst into laughter:

"No, Usopp."

"My reconnaissance robots are not as stealthy as your bugs. It's just that these guys are too weak to detect them."

"Plus the problems of various signals and magnetic field interference..."

"My methods can't compare with your bugs."

"Alright, alright, even our own people are praising us."

Chihong interrupted the conversation between the two with amusement, and turned to Chopper and said:

"But if we rashly enter the territory of the Mink Tribe, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble."

"In that case, Chopper..."

Chihong suddenly said:

"You will deal with these troubles later."

"It's a good opportunity to test your recent growth in strength."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Little Chopper patted his chest confidently.

As his strength improves, he is no longer as inferior and timid as before.

The most important thing is that while his strength is improving, his insights and knowledge are also constantly enriched.

Although today's Chopper cannot be compared with scientists like Judge and Quinn, his research in biology and pharmacology is second only to these world-class scientists.

The key is……

Compared to people like Judge who have their own strengths and weaknesses, little Chopper's learning path is all-round development!

Just a while ago, with the help of Vegapunk's clone, Chopper successfully developed a laughter-killing agent that even Caesar and Quinn were helpless against.

Specifically used to restore the people of Wano Country who were forced to eat the failed artificial fruit to normal.

At least in the field of pharmacology, Chopper is now the number one person in the Pokémon world after Vegapunk!

"Be careful! The two rulers of this country were once members of Roger's pirate group!"

Seeing that little Chopper looked so confident, Chihong smiled with relief, but at the same time he did not forget to remind him.

But what he got in return was a disapproving reply from Chopper:

"So what if they are members of the Pirate King's crew!"

"I'm the Straw Hat Pirates' ship's doctor. How could I be afraid of the Pirate King's men?!"
