Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Something seems to be wrong."

On the Merry, which was rapidly descending from Upside-Down Mountain, Nami suddenly spoke in confusion.

"Um, what's wrong Nami?"

Usopp asked from the side.

"Logically speaking, after coming down from Upside Down Mountain, there should be an endless sea."

Nami pointed forward, through the layers of fog, to the exit of Cape Gemini, and said with a confused look on her face:

"But why is there a huge cave there?"

After Nami finished speaking, several people on the boat also noticed something was wrong, because they found that there seemed to be something wrong with the cave in front of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, you must be kidding!!!"

As the Merry continued to descend, the few people finally saw the true appearance of the cave.

“That’s a whale’s mouth!!!”

Usopp collapsed and yelled, "We're going to be eaten by it."

"Hahaha, very interesting."

Luffy held his straw hat and laughed: "Let's go in and explore!"

"Idiot!!!"

Zoro wanted to kick Luffy. It was easy to get in, but difficult to get out.

"Hey, Bai Ye, can you use magic to change the course of the Merry?"

Sanji said, pointing to the space next to the whale's mouth.

Bai Ye shrugged:

"With this kind of water flow speed, my magic is useless."

That is the world's largest island whale's suction power, comparable to that of sea kings.

There is really no way to protect Bai Ye's magic.

But Bai Ye was not panicked at all, after all, he had read the original novel.

So he just comforted everyone:

"Since we are here, why not go in and take a look."

Are you here?

Nami and Usopp hugged each other and cried.

It's over, their once reliable vice-captain has also been assimilated by Luffy!!!

Just like that, with Luffy excited, Bai Ye calm and the rest of the people looking horrified, the Merry was swallowed by the whale in one gulp.

And soon we saw the hidden world inside the whale's stomach.

And a "boat" floating in gastric juice.

There was a room on the boat, and out of it came an old man with gray hair, glasses and saffron on his head.

He walked to the recliner at the side of the room, picked up the newspaper, looked at the Straw Hat Pirates, and then looked at the newspaper again.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Luffy's grinning face and said:

"Didn't expect you to be here so soon?"

"The arrogant overlord of the East China Sea - the Straw Hat Pirates."

Hearing this, Luffy tilted his head: "Huh? The arrogant overlord of the East China Sea?"

"who is it?"

"You're obviously talking about us, idiot!"

Usopp on the side started to complain.

At this time, the old man spoke:

"My name is Kulokas. I'm the lighthouse keeper at Gemini Cape. I'm 71 years old, Gemini, and my blood type is AB."

"No one asked you! Also, why are you telling me so much? Who wants to know your blood type?" X2

Nami and Usopp complained at the same time.

"Hahahaha, what a funny old man."

Luffy actually had a good impression of the old man in front of him.

"Straw Hat Boy,"

Crocus stood up, looked at Luffy with deep eyes, and spoke slowly:

"You want to be the Pirate King, right?"

"Want to be like Roger?"

Hearing this, Luffy, who was originally smiling, also became serious.

He pushed the straw hat down on his head to cover his eyes.

Then he looked up and said, "I don't want to be like Roger!"

"Because I want to be one, so I want to be the Pirate King!"

Luffy is such a person, he is quite serious about some things.

"Is that so?"

After hearing this, Kurokas nodded and was about to say something.

The gastric juice under everyone's body suddenly began to churn.

"Rabu is hitting the red earth continent again."

After saying this, Kurokas jumped directly into the gastric juice.

"Hey, hey, hey, that guy just jumped down. He will be corroded completely."

Sanji said in shock.

-

Kurokas was naturally not corrupted, and he soon came to the passage he had built inside Lab's body.

And injected a sedative into Lab from within the body.

Soon, the medicine took effect and Lab regained his composure.

-

After Crocus came back, he not only led everyone out through an iron door on Laboo's body, but also told everyone the story of the Rumbar Pirates and Laboo at the Twin Capes.

Then, the famous scene took place. Because the Merry did not suffer too much damage, Luffy did not replicate the operation of inserting the main mast into the Lab.

But no matter what, Luffy still made a new agreement with Lab.

This also made Kurokas very happy, and he took the initiative to chat with everyone.

...

"What? Old man, are you the ship's doctor?"

Luffy was pleasantly surprised: "Then, do you want to go to the sea with me?"

"Hey Luffy, I told you not to invite others casually."

Nami held Luffy's head and said:

"Besides, we have Bai Ye's elixirs, right? With them, we don't have to worry about getting sick."

"Not really."

Hearing this, Bai Ye said:

"My medicine only has the effect of healing wounds, and it cannot completely replace the role of the ship's doctor."

"At least I have no way of knowing your current physical condition. I can only wait until you get sick and then give you the medicine."

"This makes us very passive on the sea."

Bai Ye never thought that his abilities were omnipotent, such as elixirs.

Although he had mastered a lot of elixirs from the sixth to the ninth grade, it was still a bit unrealistic to think that he could dominate the sea with these.

Moreover, Bai Ye didn't want Chopper to be unable to get on the ship because of his butterfly effect.

On the one hand, who can resist a talking tsundere raccoon cat... or a reindeer?

What he ate was the only animal-type devil fruit in this ocean, the Human-Human Fruit, a landlubber form.

On the other hand, Byakuya does have some guesses and needs Chopper's help.

If the guess is correct, perhaps we can uncover some of the secrets of devil fruits.

Closer to home——

"Hahaha, old man, I'm already an old man. I no longer have the passion for adventure."

Crocus was grilling fish at Cape Gemini while responding to Luffy:

"Even back then, the old man's voyage was boring."

"Well, if a trip around the Grand Line can be considered boring."

Bai Ye suddenly spoke, he looked at Kurokas with a smile and said:

"Then there will probably be no exciting travel in this world."

"What!!!" X4

When Zoro and the other three heard this, they were all shocked, if Bai Ye was correct.

Then the old man in front of me is——

"He is actually a member of the Pirate King's crew!!!"

Usopp screamed.

"What!" Luffy was shocked at this time: "The old man is so powerful?"

Usopp: Are you an idiot?

"I'm curious, why do you know this?"

At this time, Kurokas also looked up at Bai Ye and asked.
