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

Zoro dragged the cage with difficulty to the door of a pet shop. There was a pure white puppy with big eyes guarding the door, staring at Luffy and the other person.

"dog?"

Luffy looked at the puppy curiously and moved the cage closer to the puppy with difficulty.

Dazai, who was at the back, saw the dog and his face changed. He ran away in disgust, hugged the pillar, and complained to the two people in front, "I hate dogs the most. It's either me or him!"

Zoro gave Dazai Osamu an unpleasant look and said, "I don't care about you." He leaned against the wall to rest and catch his breath.

Luffy stretched out his finger and pressed it between the puppy's eyebrows. The harmless puppy suddenly turned into a ferocious beast, baring its teeth and pouncing on Luffy across the cage, starting a fierce fight. Zoro's eyes widened.

"Come on! Luffy, give it a good beating!" Dazai Osamu cheered on the side, but he underestimated the puppy's fighting power. Luffy - KO. Zoro held his forehead weakly, feeling the powerlessness of a single dad taking care of two older naughty kids.

Nami arrived soon after, "Hi! Navigator!" Luffy saw Nami and happily greeted her while grabbing the railing.

Nami took out the key and said, "I'll give this to you, even though you saved me."

The key fell to the ground with a sharp sound.

"You specially got it for me, that's great."

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to owe you a favor." Nami put one hand on her waist and said a little proudly.

Luffy was about to reach out for the key in excitement, but the puppy walked forward and said, "Awooo--" The key went into the dog's stomach. Luffy, Zoro, and Nami all had dull expressions. Luffy was even more excited and grabbed the puppy's neck, shaking it passionately, "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, you stinky dog, this is not dog food, spit it out!"

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha——” Dazai Osamu laughed so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back and fell to the ground with his back drooping.

Seeing that his hope of escaping the cage was gone, Luffy shook the dog frantically, "You idiot, idiot, stinky dog, spit out the key!"

Seeing Luffy's mental state becoming more and more crazy,

"Really? I still have to do it~" Dazai Osamu finally laughed enough, came to the cage, flicked his palm, and a small needle appeared. He held the needle and swung it a few times at the switch.

"Click" the cage opened.

"Dazai, you're so nice!" Luffy looked at Dazai with tears in his eyes, so moved that he couldn't express it in words. Zoro and Nami beside him had black lines on their foreheads, shouting in their hearts, 'Can't it be opened? Why did they lock you in there for so long? You are the only one who believes that Dazai is good to you.' For the first time, the two of them had the same idea in their minds. Don't mess with Dazai, otherwise you will be cheated and bankrupt and have to count money for him.

"You stinky dog, I'm going to fight you to the death!" As soon as Luffy was freed, he started a second round of fighting with the puppy.

"Stop! Little kids, you are not allowed to bully Xiu Xiu!" In the distance, an energetic old man with white hair and wearing wooden armor roared to stop Luffy and his crew from bullying the puppy Xiu Xiu.

"Shuh?" Luffy's face was full of question marks. Zoro looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you, old man?"

"I am the mayor of this town. You look so miserable. It seems that you have been killed by Buggy!" The mayor greeted Luffy and his crew in a friendly manner.

This town was originally very peaceful, but one day, the Buggy Pirates came. They burned, killed, looted, and bombarded the town with artillery shells from time to time. All the survivors in the town fled for refuge, but only Xiu Xiu refused to leave.

This pet shop belongs to an old friend of the mayor, who passed away three months ago. Xiu Xiu was his dog and they had a very good relationship. After his owner passed away, Xiu Xiu stayed by the pet shop closely. Others thought that Xiu Xiu didn't know that his owner would never come back, but the mayor knew that Xiu Xiu was a smart dog and it already knew that its owner would never come back, but it would guard its owner and its home for the rest of its life.

Knowing the story of the puppy Xiu Xiu, Luffy silently pressed down his straw hat and did not engage in a life-and-death duel with Xiu Xiu. He lay on the ground, looking at the blue sky. A few white clouds dotted the blue sky. A breeze blew, and everything was so quiet.

"Pa--" heavy footsteps sounded, and a shadow blocked Luffy's sight. Luffy leaped up and looked up. A lion as tall as a two-story building looked at Luffy with red eyes, and a white-haired uncle was sitting on the lion's back.

"Why is it you here?" The white-haired uncle saw Luffy and shook his head looking for Zoro's trace.

Zoro was leaning against a pillar, with Dazai Osamu sitting next to him. "Hey, pirate hunter Zoro, and that pretty boy, as long as I defeat you, I can ask Lord Buggy for a reward." The white-haired uncle didn't pay attention to Luffy in front of him.

In his eyes, Luffy, who was caught and locked in a cage by the little thief cat Nami, was just a nobody.

If you want to fight us, you have to get past me, the captain, first." Dazai Osamu kindly suggested, holding his chin.

"Captain? Hahahahahahahahaha" The white-haired uncle laughed until tears came out when he heard that the straw hat boy in front of him was the captain.

"Hey, uncle, who are you!" Luffy pressed down his straw hat and asked, "Kid, remember, I'm the deputy captain of the Buggy Pirates, the animal trainer Mochi!"

"I am the man who will become the Pirate King - Monkey D. Luffy." As soon as the words fell, Luffy crossed and extended his hands, grabbed the lion's head, and swung it hard. The lion was thrown into the air and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up. Monkey was also tripped and fell to the ground.

"Devil Fruit user, are you a devil fruit user like Captain Buggy?"

"I give up, I'm sorry, I give up." Seeing that things were going badly, Moqi waved his hands and apologized.

"I don't accept your apology, but please apologize to the people in this town who have been hurt."

"Bang——" The huge fist hit Mochi's face, and Mochi was knocked to the ground.

Luffy walked over to the puppy and sat down, "Continue to protect you and your master's home."

It woofed once in response to Luffy's words.

Dazai Osamu and Zoro looked at everything in front of them quietly without saying a word.

Nami watched everything and felt that Luffy and his pirate crew were somewhat different from other pirates.
