After looking around, Luo said, "The interior of this ship is bigger than I imagined."
"Otherwise, why do you think I would have taken a liking to this ship?" west Yan said with a smirk.
This time, Luo just smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Luffy".
Chopper, sitting on the ground, seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Luffy, and said, "Don't you think that guy who took Bridal away looks a bit like Laban?"
As he spoke, Chopper carefully recalled the guy he had just seen on the sea, and he did indeed look very similar to Laban.
"Labang?"
"It's the giant rabbit from my homeland, Drum Kingdom," Chopper said. "You should have seen it before."
Luffy went to Dr. Kureha's place in the mountains, so it's impossible that he didn't encounter Laban.
Upon hearing this, Luffy frowned, thought about it carefully, and then gave a look of sudden realization, saying, "Ah~".
"That kind of rabbit that's as big as a bear, oh, I remember now!"
He remembered that the rabbit was quite fierce; the two had even had a fierce fight, but the rabbit was no match for him!
Luffy then said, "So, these guys are Laban?"
"No, that's not it."
Chopper shook his head and said, "It's only somewhat similar; there are still some differences in appearance. Besides... Laban can't swim either."
"That's probably Helabang," Luo said.
"Huh?"
Chopper paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You knew that?"
"Yes," Luo said. "I encountered it once when I was sailing in the North Sea."
"But normally, they shouldn't have come to the New World..."
97
After all, these guys are used to staying in certain areas of their hometown, which is a characteristic that all animals share.
Then, Law looked down at Chopper and said, "So that's why you followed me, Boss Tanuki?"
"Yes, that's right..."
""
"Um?
""
"Who says the raccoon is in charge, you bastard!" Chopper roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "I'm a reindeer!"
"Hahaha~"
Luffy burst out laughing; Chopper's appearance was hilarious.
"Luffy, you're not allowed to laugh!"
"Sorry, sorry~"
That's true, but Luffy couldn't stop laughing, which made Chopper roll his eyes in exasperation.
"I came along not just because of that guy, but mainly because..." Chopper recalled what had happened on the ship earlier and said, "They said they didn't want to do this kind of thing in the first place."
"Don't you want to do this kind of thing?"
Luo paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "So, you can understand animal speech?"
"Yes," Chopper nodded.
"I see."
Luo Dun was a little envious. How come the Straw Hat Pirates have such a complete lineup, damn it!
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more bitter I feel.
After shaking his head, Luo forcibly suppressed the extraneous thoughts in his mind and began to think about the person from earlier.
and many more..
If I remember correctly, that person said he was a Pet-Pet Fruit user.
Thinking of this, Luo said, "Could it be that this guy named Bridal has the ability to forcibly control other people?"
"That's possible," west Yan said. "The Pet Fruit... might have the ability to turn others into pets."
This is probably why those rabbits said they didn't want to do that kind of thing.
"So, he turned someone into a pet without their permission?" Chopper roared. "Then I'll never forgive him!"
That guy is a complete bastard!
"If I'm not mistaken, that's how it is," west Yan said.
After speaking, west Yan paused slightly, then continued, "Alright, let's hurry and find that..."
,"Um?"
Where's Luffy?
Looking back at west Yan behind him, several question marks immediately popped into his head: Where did Luffy suddenly go?
Luo's expression darkened. Why was this guy not playing by the rules again?
"Hey, come and see!"
Luffy leaned out from the corridor in the distance, waving his arms at the group and saying, "That aquarium looks amazing from down there!"
"Hey, Straw Hat Master!"
Law stared blankly at Luffy and said, "We're not here for sightseeing!"
Their purpose in coming here is to reclaim Caesar, so what's the point of all this shouting?
"Hahaha, because it's very..."
"6
Before Luffy could finish speaking, a large number of animals rushed out and attacked him with fierce eyes.
Upon seeing this, Luffy immediately shut his mouth and then turned around to fight these guys.
Seeing this, west Yan sighed and said, "It seems that we can't sneak in secretly with Luffy in tow."
""
That makes sense. Even a place like Impel Down couldn't scare Luffy, let alone here where there's only one enemy.
After letting out a helpless sigh, west Yan quickly rushed towards Luffy.
"You two, stop standing around dazed and get these guys under control first!"
"profound!"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Chopper immediately rushed over, leaving only Law covered in sweat.
"That's why I cooperated with them in the first place..." Luo said through gritted teeth.
Although these guys are very strong, they are all incredibly willful, bastards!
After cursing a few times in frustration, Law rushed off into the distance to assist Luffy and his crew in attacking the animals.
Soon, with everyone's efforts, all of these guys were beaten to the ground!
"Alright, let's hurry and find that guy," Laura said, adjusting her hat. "Otherwise, it'll be dawn."
He certainly didn't want to fail to reclaim Caesar by tomorrow morning.
"Let's go then," Luffy said.
We've had our fun; it's time to take Caesar back.
Just then, a figure rushed over from a distance and threw a punch at Luffy!
"Clang!"
"boom!!"
"What?!"
Luffy, who dodged the attack, stared in astonishment at the large crater created by the Kung Fu Dugong and exclaimed, "This guy knows Haki!"
Animals have actually mastered domineering power?
This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.
Although Luo was somewhat surprised, he didn't take the other party seriously.
After all... he's stronger!
Then, Law planned to use his ability to kill this guy.
"Wait a minute," Luffy grinned. "Leave this guy to me."
"Are you still planning to play?"
"No."
Luffy walked step by step toward the Kung Fu Dugong, saying, "I just want to have a serious fight with this guy who knows Haki."
Luffy spoke faster and faster, and his pace quickened until he was running.
Then, he threw a punch at the kung fu manatee that was charging at him!
"Clang!"
"boom!!"
In the end, the kung fu manatee was sent flying by Luffy's fist, which was imbued with Haki.
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
Looking at the Kung Fu Manatee lying on the ground, Luffy raised his hands and shouted, "Hahaha, I won!"
Seeing this, west Yan shook his head helplessly. This guy...
"Alright, now that we've taken care of the enemy, let's..." Before Law could finish speaking, he saw the kung fu manatee rush over, excitedly hugging Luffy's leg and making noises.
Luo: ? ? ?
What's wrong now?
"Is this what they call 'no fight, no friendship'?" west Yan muttered.
After thinking for a moment, west Yan looked down at Chopper and asked, "Chopper, what did he say?"
Why does this turtle look so familiar?
He said: "Master, it's been a long time."
"master...
""
Chopper muttered those two words to himself, then, as if remembering something, said, "Could you be the Kung Fu Dugong who became Luffy's apprentice in Alabasta?"
"Awoo awoo!"
Kungfu Manatee nodded excitedly upon hearing this, which was considered as agreement with Chopper's words.
Luo:
What kind of habit does the Straw Hat Master have? Why did he even take the Kung Fu Manatee as his disciple?
west Yan also recalled this part of the story, and his expression became somewhat strange.
It wasn't a turtle after all, it was a kung fu manatee!
"I miss it so much~"
Luffy excitedly grabbed the Kung Fu Dugong's hand and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Awoo awoo!"
Kungfu Manatee excitedly waved his arms at Luffy, then beckoned his waking crewmates over, indicating that they should come and see his master.
And just like that... Luffy became familiar with these animals again.
"You guys got to know each other really fast..." west Yan complained.
At this moment, even he had to admire Luffy's skill in making friends.
"Can you explain to me what exactly happened?" Luo asked with a dark face.
"Ah, that guy is a kung fu manatee from the country of Alabasta," Chopper explained. "Because they're fighters, they often challenge others."
"After failing a challenge, the Kung Fu Manatee will follow their rules and become the apprentice of the winner."
"And Luffy defeated him at that time, so he became Luffy's apprentice."
Chopper explained the situation to Law and Xiyan in one breath, so that the two of them would understand what was going on.
Luo:
Although this matter is somewhat bizarre, he found it quite reasonable after considering the Straw Hat leader's personality.
After all, this guy is someone who doesn't play by the rules.
Then, he pointed at Luffy and said, "I understand what's going on, but what is he doing now?"
"Um?"
Chopper glanced at Luffy practicing his punches alongside the Kung Fu Dugong, paused for a moment, and then said somewhat uncertainly, "He's probably teaching him how to fight."
Luo: ? ? ?
Is it on-site teaching?
"That's right, Manatee!" Luffy shouted, "That's how you throw a punch!"
"Straighten your arms and lower your waist!"
"Awoo awoo!"
"Push harder!"
"1212".
"Awoo!"
Chopper:
They really are kindred spirits.
west Yan couldn't help but chuckle; Luffy really could have a lot of fun with anyone.
"I didn't expect you to actually be the Kung Fu Dugong from back then." Luffy, having finished his training, squatted down and looked at the Kung Fu Dugong, saying, "You've gotten so much stronger, you even know Haki now."
As he finished speaking, a look of emotion appeared on Luffy's face.
You have to understand that even for him, learning domineering techniques wasn't an easy task back then.
"Awoooooo!!"
"What did he say?" west Yan asked, glancing at Chopper.
He said he had been through a lot, so he gradually learned that special power.
"Roar~"
"Looks like you're quite talented, little guy," west Yan said with a smile.
Although there are as many people as yaks in the New World who can learn domineering, there are not as many animals that can learn domineering as one might imagine.
So this guy is indeed a very talented individual.
Upon hearing west Yan's praise, Kung Fu Manatee showed an embarrassed expression, as if to say: It's...not bad~
west Yan smiled when he saw this; he was still a shy little guy.
"So..." Law glanced at the Kung Fu Manatee and said, "Why would the Straw Hat crew's disciple come to the New World?"
"And why did you kidnap Caesar?"
Upon hearing Luo's words, the Kung Fu Manatee's expression gradually became listless.
"Awoo awoo..."
'
"He said: 'I didn't know it was Master's ship that was attacked, I'm very sorry.'" Chopper translated for Kung Fu Manatee: "As for why he appeared in the New World..."
'
"My master told me that this sea was very vast, so I aspired to be a pirate like him and came to this vast sea alone."
"After going through a lot, I became stronger, and at the same time, I met these partners."
"After overcoming numerous obstacles, our Sea Beast Pirates have finally arrived in the New World."
"But it was at this moment... that man named Bridal appeared."
At this point, Kungfu Manatee's expression clearly became downcast.
"He used a strange power to control us, so now we are his slaves..."
'
"We could not disobey his orders, so we had no choice but to do as he asked and take Caesar away."
"This is also why we launched an attack on you, Master."
In the end, Kungfu Manatee bowed his head deeply, clearly expressing his apology to Luffy.
"Oh, I see."
After listening to Chopper's explanation, Luffy understood what was going on.
Then, he patted the Kung Fu Manatee with a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll just get Caesar back."
After all, it wasn't the other party's fault, so he couldn't possibly get angry about it.
"It seems this is similar to what we were thinking earlier," west Yan said, glancing at Luo. "That guy does indeed possess the ability to turn living beings into his pets."
Pet-Pet Fruit... A fruit that allows you to turn other people into your pets?
That's a truly despicable ability.
As he thought about it, west Yan looked at the neck of the Kung Fu Manatee.
There was a strange green collar there; if I'm not mistaken, that thing must be a product of the Pet-Pet Fruit's power.
Thinking of this, west Yan pointed to the Kung Fu Manatee's neck and said, "Is that thing affecting you?"
"Awoo awoo..."
""
Kungfu Manatee nodded, which was considered an affirmation of west Yan's words.
