Chapter 126 The Ancient Island, the Little Garden!
Chapter 126 The Ancient Island, the Little Garden!
Picking up where we left off, because Luffy crushed the permanent Pose that Robin had given him, which led to Alabasta, the Straw Hat Pirates were able to continue their journey towards Little Garden. And with the newly joined Vivi and Karoo the duck, Luffy and the others quickly showed the two a glimpse of the Straw Hat Pirates' corporate culture in less than a day…
With nothing better to do, the group started to make fun of Karoo. After discovering that Karoo could actually drink alcohol, they very in unison fed it cup after cup until Karoo couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground. Only then did the group mercilessly laugh at Karoo, calling it "Stupid Karoo!"
Seeing this, Vivi couldn't help but wonder if she had come to the wrong people. At this moment, Nami explained with a smile, "How about it? Don't you think they're stupid? But don't let their usual behavior fool you, they'll be on high alert in a crucial moment..."
Suddenly, the sea became turbulent. The group of people who had been laughing and joking moments before instantly took on their respective tasks: Zoro steered the ship, Usopp checked the wind direction, Luffy and Sanji controlled the sails, while Goten idly watched the busy crew until Luffy scolded, "Idiot, what are you doing here? Go help!" Only then did Goten go to help Usopp...
Seeing this, Weiwei felt a little relieved and also felt a touch of warmth...
-
Two days passed, and the group finally arrived at the small garden. Looking at the dense jungle and the various ferocious beasts that appeared and disappeared, Nami and Usopp were terrified. Furthermore, a ferocious tiger died vomiting blood right before their eyes, making everyone instantly realize that something incredibly powerful existed on the island…
So Nami decided that she would never step off the ship until the Log Pose had stored up the magnetic force and pointed to the next island...
Usopp thought the same thing. However, besides the two of them, Luffy and Vivi planned to explore the island and also took the somewhat reluctant Karoo Duck with them. After Sanji gave the two of them a bento and Karoo Duck a drink, they set off immediately...
Zoro was about to wander around when Sanji reminded him, "Hey, Zoro, when you come back, bring back some game for food..."
Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately replied, "Don't worry, I'll bring back a giant prey that you absolutely can't catch..."
Sanji felt challenged immediately upon hearing this and jumped off the ship, retorting to Zoro, "I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said. If you're so capable, let's see who brings back the bigger prey!"
Zoro readily accepted Sanji's challenge, and the two, neither willing to back down, raced headlong into the depths of the jungle...
Usopp and Nami were speechless at the sight, but Goten walked out leisurely and asked curiously, "Strange, where did they go?"
Usopp and Nami breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Goten was still there. However, Goten said the next second, "There seems to be a powerful guy on this island. Okay, I'll go take a look!" He was about to leave when Nami and Usopp grabbed him tightly.
Upon seeing this, Wutian immediately questioned, "What are you two doing? Why are you hugging me? Let me go!"
However, Nami and Usopp cried out—(Nami) "No, Goten, you're the only one left who can protect us, you can't leave!" (Usopp) "That's right, what if someone attacks us if you leave too!" (Nami) "Please consider us two weak people, Goten!"
Upon hearing this, Wutian was completely dismayed, thinking to himself, "I should have left sooner... I really should have..."
-
While Goten was being held back by the cowardly duo, Luffy and Vivi on the other side were discovering ammonites, creatures that should have been extinct, as well as dinosaurs that should also have been extinct. Seeing these creatures, Vivi realized what kind of island she and Luffy had landed on...
However, the clueless Luffy pounced on the dinosaur after discovering it, much to Vivi's annoyance. Vivi immediately scolded Luffy, "Don't do such dangerous things!"
Meanwhile, Zoro and Sanji each encountered a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Triceratops, respectively. After careful observation, they both concluded that their prey was larger than the one the other had hunted, so they immediately made their move...
-
Back to Goten, Nami and Usopp were able to enjoy their afternoon tea in peace because of his presence, while Goten idly fished with a rod to pass the time.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded in the distance, accompanied by a violent tremor. Goten, sensing this, immediately reeled in his fishing rod and shouted to Usopp and Nami, "Nami, Usopp, get ready for battle! A huge creature is coming..."
Upon hearing Goten's warning, Nami and Usopp instantly flashed behind Goten, their legs trembling with fear. As the giant appeared in front of the three, Nami and Usopp were so frightened that they lost consciousness and fainted on the deck.
Facing the giant, Goten dared not relax for a moment, and demanded sharply, "Who are you! What do you want!"
Upon hearing this, the giant immediately introduced himself—"I am Brogy, a warrior of Elbaf! Um... do you have any wine here?"
Wutian immediately replied, "Yes, I do, but why would I give it to you? We don't even know each other, okay? And you'll regret it if you don't watch what's behind you!"
Before Brogy could understand Goten's meaning, a dinosaur suddenly appeared and bit him on the back. Upon seeing this, Brogy immediately picked up his giant axe and decapitated it with a single blow.
Holding the dinosaur's head, Brogy turned to Goten and asked again, "How about we use some alcohol to accompany the dinosaur meat...?"
Seeing this, Goten couldn't help but exclaim, "You've got some strength! How about this: I'll give you some wine, and after we've eaten our fill, you can fight me. Don't let my appearance fool you, my power far exceeds your imagination!"
Brogy burst into laughter upon hearing this, teasing Goten, "You little rascal, you're really something, daring to challenge me? You're truly ignorant of your own limitations. But alright, as long as you don't interfere with my battle with the other giant warrior Dorry, I might as well spar with you a little..."
Upon hearing this, Wutian replied, "Alright then, it's settled then. I'll go get you the wine."
Upon entering the storage room, Goten discovered that the wine barrels had been tampered with, and there were two footprints on the floor. Goten immediately realized that the wine had been altered, so he decided to play along...
After giving the wine to Brogy, Goten, along with Usopp and Nami, rode on Brogy's shoulders to his resting place. Goten whispered something in Brogy's ear, and after a three-second silence, Brogy smiled slightly before continuing on his way with Goten…
Meanwhile, Luffy and Vivi encountered another giant, Dorry, and Luffy had already become good friends with him, to the point where they could happily eat meat together...
