The bandage spirit becomes a spirit! Luffy and the others are surprised!

"Ahhhhh——" The Merry rushed along the esophagus until it fell into the whale's stomach.

"Not dead?!" Usopp hugged himself with lingering fear, and opened his eyes carefully. He saw blue sky and white clouds, and seagulls flying in front of him. It was almost the same as the outside world. He said with a feeling of surviving a disaster.

"Where is this?" Nami looked around in confusion at the green sea.

Dazai Osamu looked at the motionless seagulls in the sky and glanced around, "We are still in the whale's stomach."

"Inside the stomach, this doesn't look like it!" Usopp pointed to the sky and shouted at Dazai Osamu.

"There should be people living in there, and these should have been painted by people!" Dazai Osamu touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"That's right, these seem to have been drawn by someone else!!" Zoro also noticed something was wrong and agreed with Dazai Osamu's statement.

"Is there an island ahead?" Nami pointed ahead. A small island stood in front of her with a small wooden house on it.

At this time, a man opened the door of the wooden house and came out. Zoro and Sanji stood in front of him, ready for fighting, and looked at each other vigilantly.

The man glared at Dazai Osamu and the others fiercely, walked to the recliner next to him, lay down on it, retracted his gaze, and opened the newspaper.

Sanji fell to the ground and jumped out: "Who are you?"

"Where is this?" Zoro asked the man directly.

There was a pause of several seconds and the atmosphere became tense.

"Before asking others a question, introduce yourself, kid!" the man said calmly.

Nami and others:......

"Sorry, sorry, I'm Roroa Zoro."

"I'm Crocus, the caretaker of Gemini Cape, 71 years old, Gemini, AB blood type--" The man interrupted Zoro and spoke to himself.

Zoro turned his head fiercely, holding the knife handle with his hand, "Can I kill him!!!"

"You ask what this is? You actually broke into my private resort island and you are so arrogant! You ask where this place is? Is it still inside a rat's stomach?" Kurokas glanced at Zoro and the others and continued.

"No, I don't want to be digested! Dazai, think of a solution quickly!" Nami covered her face and said in pain.

"Excuse me, is that gate the exit?" Dazai Osamu interrupted Nami's negative state and pointed directly at the particularly eye-catching gate next to it. Since it is a private resort island, there must be an exit.

"Yes, if you want to go out, just go through that gate!" Kurokas paused for several seconds and nodded.

"So we can go out?" several people sighed.

Suddenly, the calm gastric juice began to shake, and Kurokas's face darkened. "It starts again."

"What's going on?" Nami hugged the pillar, trying to steady herself, frowned, and asked the man.

"This whale, Lab has started to ram its head against the red earth continent again—" Crocus glanced at Nami and replied.

Lab, name the whale, Dazai Osamu held the railing and listened to the man's explanation.

"So, that's why it has so many wounds on its head? And it's screaming at the sky! It must be very sad!" Nami said sadly.

"So, this is the old man's purpose?" Usopp responded after hearing this.

"Maybe he wants to kill the whale from the inside?" Nami nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Dazai Osamu interrupted, saying softly, "I think he wanted to save the other party. These paintings and arrangements were not made to kill the whale~"

"Is that so?" The two opened their mouths.

"Whether it's to save him or kill him, let's go quickly. The wooden boat can't last too long." Sanji said calmly based on the current situation.

"The waves are so big!" Several people were struggling to move forward on the boat, "Row faster, Luffy should still be outside!" Nami shouted from the second floor.

Flop—Kurokas jumped into the stomach acid and disappeared without a trace.

"How did that guy jump in!" Usopp looked at the man's actions, puzzled.

However, the situation was urgent, and several people tried their best to stabilize the boat. After a while, the gastric acid sea calmed down, and Luffy followed the other two people and fell from above, looking at the Merry in surprise, and said hello, "Yuexi!", and fell into the gastric acid.

"Go and save Luffy!" Everyone on the boat was in a panic. Those who could swim jumped in and rescued all three.

"Does your stomach acid hurt?" Dazai Osamu squatted in front of Luffy, poked Luffy's cheek curiously, and asked. "Forgot?" Luffy tried to think about it, and answered with an apologetic smile.

"I'm so envious - I'd like to try it too - I haven't tried stomach acid suicide yet~~~" Dazai Osamu became excited and wanted to jump in, but the wet Zoro beside him grabbed his collar and he couldn't move.

"Nami--" Zoro frowned, looked at Dazai Osamu who was causing trouble for him, and called Nami. Nami understood and took out the rope, and Dazai Osamu was treated the same as the other two strangers, tied up and thrown aside.

"Beautiful lady, what is your name?" Sanji asked in a gentlemanly manner, with loving eyes as he squatted next to one of the women with blue ponytails.

The woman asked the brown curly-haired man next to her with a chill, "What should we do, Mr. 9? These are pirates?"

"Miss.3, I don't know either~" Mr.9 responded quietly.

"These pirates are so cruel and vicious, and I am one of their victims!" Dazai Osamu was tied up with ropes and inserted between the two men. He told them about his miserable experiences in tears. The two men hugged each other in fear.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Nami tapped Dazai Osamu skillfully, closed her eyes and spoke calmly.

Dazai gestured with his hand, moved the corner of his mouth, and pretended to close the zipper, indicating that he understood. The ropes were piled beside him, and Dazai had already freed himself.

"So you are still here, villains. I won't let you hurt Lab!!!" Kurokas has returned and is looking at the two familiar figures on the Merry and warning them fiercely.

The two men who were already shaking with fear suddenly became alert, took out cannons from their pockets in the other dimension and pointed them at Kurokas, arrogantly announcing, "It is our mission to kill this whale, don't interfere with our whaling!"

As the shell was fired, the man's face changed and he ran over, holding the shell. The shell hit the man, causing a burst of fireworks, and the two men burst into laughter.

"What!!" Nami and the others looked at Crocus in surprise as he used his body to block the shells in order to protect Lab, and said in disbelief.

"Bang!" Luffy frowned at the two men's behavior and knocked them out according to his heart, "I don't know why, but I wanted to hit them!" The two men fell on the deck and fainted.

"So they are not in the same group?" Crocus looked at Luffy's actions in surprise, knowing that he had misunderstood them.

Standing at the door and opening it, the Merry followed the current and came to the real sea.

After gaining the trust of Kurokas, everyone listened to Lab's story on the calm sea.

Rab is a whale that understands human emotions. He came here with a pirate group from the West Sea. At that time, he was still a small whale. He was a humpback whale unique to the West Sea. When he grows up, he is as big as an island. Rab, who came here alone, regarded the pirates as his companions. Because the pirate group’s ship had problems at that time, they stayed in the Twin Gorge for a few people. At that time, I had a good relationship with them. Because the Grand Line was very threatening, they were worried about continuing to sail with Rab, and agreed with Rab that they would go around the world in three years and return to take Rab home. However, decades have passed, and he has not returned. Rab is still waiting for them. He may have died, or he may have run away from other places. I told Rab all this. Since that day, Rab has been hitting the Red Earth Continent, wanting his companions to come back, wanting to return to his hometown. No matter what he said, he kept hitting and hitting -

After listening to Rab's story, everyone was silent for a long time.

Luffy jumped onto Laboon holding the boat pole and stabbed it into Laboon's wound, and then the man and the whale started fighting.

"That boat pole looks familiar?" Everyone looked at the boat pole on Lab's wound and said in confusion. Suddenly, they shouted, "Isn't that ours?!"

"This guy Luffy!!!" Nami clenched her fists, feeling very angry.

"Luffy has his own ideas." Dazai Osamu smiled and looked gently at Luffy who was fighting with Laboon.

Luffy wiped the corner of his mouth and said arrogantly to Laboon, "Draw! I'm strong, right?" Laboon looked at the human who suddenly attacked him with a little confusion and said nothing.

"I'm very strong, but you haven't won yet, and the outcome between us has not yet been decided. Although your companion is dead, I will always be your opponent. After we circle the Grand Line, I will come to you again and fight you again!" Laboo shouted with tears in his eyes, staring at Luffy.

The other people looked on with satisfaction, with smiles on their faces.

As expected of you, Luffy!!

"This is the symbol of our companions!" Luffy used paint to draw a Luffy-style crooked straw hat mark on the scar of Lab. "It can't be damaged. This is a promise!"

Lab held the mark and shouted happily.
