The Straw Hats continued forward for a few miles, and soon they saw a city with ancient city walls.
The group entered through the main gate, and inside, it was desolate, a heap of ruins!
This was all what the KK poison gas had devastated.
Baji [Buggy] cleared all this poison gas along the way, all of it poured into Jack's belly!
Suddenly, an agile figure jumped out and attacked Luffy, who was walking in front.
Luffy reached out with a big hand, his palm enlarged, and directly crushed this agile figure.
"How can he be so strong? Damn it, you invaders, why do you have to completely wipe us out!?"
The first wave of attack had just been launched when it was completely held in Luffy's palm. Carrot struggled hard, trying to squeeze her small head out from between Luffy's fingers, barely able to breathe...
She struggled to break free, trying to pull her body out from Luffy's finger restraints...
That gnashing, teeth-gritting expression was as if she couldn't wait to devour Luffy and the others alive...
"Bastard Luffy, let go!!!"
"That's the adorable Carrot!!!"
As soon as he saw Carrot's "enemy" appearance clearly, Sanji immediately roared at Luffy.
"Moron, calm down! If you keep acting like this, I won't take you out next time!"
Nami raised her hand and punched Sanji on the head, instantly knocking Sanji unconscious like a bobblehead.
Usopp: "Hahaha! This girl's punch is really powerful, hehehe~"
Franky: "Oh! If I don't take you out next time... this is like an old couple bickering over an disobedient child, hehehe~"
Tony Tony Chopper: "Poor Sanji..."
Roronoa Zoro: "This pervert... Every time he sees a woman, he can't move! How lively!"
Bepo: "Lady, you green-headed pervert. You don't understand my respectful female gaze at all!"
As Carrot struggled in Luffy's hand, Luffy felt a tingling sensation in his palm.
He looked at Carrot suspiciously: "How come you look like a little rabbit? And you still have ears?"
Upon hearing this, Carrot's small face instantly flushed with anger: "What do you mean I look like a little rabbit? Our people are originally Mink Tribe! We're rabbits! Ah?!"
"Eh??"
Luffy was startled, then smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Only upon hearing the other party's race did Luffy realize how insulting his previous words were.
Although Luffy didn't know what the Mink Tribe or rabbit race specifically was, judging from the other party's image, he could roughly guess it was a type of beastmen!
For a Mink Tribe, a rabbit race, saying "You look like a rabbit" is equivalent to saying to a human, "You look like a human"...
This is completely insulting...
It's strange if this little rabbit isn't angry~
"Let her go!!!"
Just at this moment, a shadow passed by.
A fierce figure went straight for Luffy's arm!
And Luffy stretched out his other hand, enlarged it, and directly grabbed this figure in his palm...
"What!!"
Only a small head barely squeezed out from between Luffy's fingers. Wanda stared at Luffy in shock...
"How can this person's strength be so terrifying?"
"Are the people in your place so crude? You just attack without saying anything..."
Luffy scratched his head and looked at Jack, who was also held in mid-air beside him, and grumbled, "To be clear, that guy is the culprit who made your place like this... We're just passing tourists~"
Following the direction Luffy's mouth pointed, Wanda and Carrot immediately saw the enormous giant held in one hand in the air...
That guy's body already seemed like weathered rock layers, but if you look closely... it's not hard to find that this guy is the Drought Jack!
Wanda cried out in surprise: "It's Jack!"
Carrot's small face showed an expression of hatred: "It's him who killed so many people!"
"Alright, I'll let you go now, but don't bite people indiscriminately~"
With that, Luffy released both hands, and they instantly shrunk back.
"Sorry... because our country just suffered a devastating blow, so we're a bit... truly sorry..."
Wanda very sincerely lowered his head towards Luffy and the others.
Carrot also followed suit, expressing her apology to Luffy and the others.
"No problem."
Luffy shook his head, then pointed at Jack with his finger. "But it looks like this guy can't absorb any more poison gas. The remaining poison gas might not be easy to deal with..."
Upon hearing this, Wanda quickly said, "Don't worry about that! The injured people have all been transferred to areas with fresh air. The remaining poison gas only needs one rain per month, and a big rain will wash away all this poison gas~"
The Straw Hat Pirates could deal with Jack, which was already a great kindness. Wanda didn't even dare to mention wanting him to clean up the rest.
"Rain once a month?"
Nami's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Isn't this place on the back of a giant elephant? How can it rain so regularly?"
When they first reached Zunesha's feet, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates already knew it was a giant elephant!
"Since Zunesha has been moving on the sea all the time, it must have experienced various sea areas and climates..."
"Of course... if Zunesha is tall enough, and its back is above the clouds, then it should be constantly raining!"
"How can it rain once a month, with such regularity, like an elephant taking a bath?"
"That's because the Elephant Lord takes a bath once a month, so our rain is very regular!!"
Carrot came up to Nami, and while talking, she stroked Nami's arm. "Wow.... a hairy tribe, the skin is so smooth~"
Her hand slipped off Nami's arm with a swoosh...
Seeing Carrot's funny look, Nami opened her mouth wide: "Hmph, this is the power of a demon fruit!"
Luffy, listening to Carrot, rubbed his chin. "So, the rain you're talking about is actually the water sprayed from this giant elephant's nose?"
Wanda replied: "Yes! Elephant Lord just took a bath the day before yesterday, and it will be another 20 days until the next rain, so for these 20 days, we can't approach the Whale Forest. The poison gas there is too thick~"
Hearing this, Luffy's eyes lit up: "Then... if Elephant Lord takes a bath now, can't we resolve the poison gas crisis in your Whale Forest?"
"That's the theory. But Elephant Lord won't listen to anyone's orders. No one can make him take a bath now!" Wanda sighed.
Luffy pointed at himself, chuckling, "You can't, but I can...!"
"You can??"
Wanda and Carrot were surprised at the same time, then both denied it: "Impossible!!"
"Haha! Watch me~"
Looking at the two completely disbelieving figures, Luffy suddenly chuckled.
Then, he roared at Zunesha: "Quickly, bathe the land!"
He could actually communicate with Zunesha in his heart, but in order to prove it to Wanda and Carrot, Luffy deliberately roared...
Rumble~
Under Luffy's command, Zunesha slightly moved!!!
The next moment, billowing seawater was sprayed into the sky, then formed a water mass, and surprisingly covered them...
"Ah! Watch out!!!"
Carrot immediately yelled out a warning.
But under Luffy's Conqueror's Haki, all that billowing seawater scattered away...
The seawater filtered the air, and then a flood-like current formed on the ground, flowing out towards the low-lying areas around Zunesha's back~
"Elephant Lord, another one!"
Luffy felt that since it was to wash away poison gas, then let it be more thorough!
Rumble~
The Elephant Lord was indeed obedient. Its nose sprayed out water again...
"Oh no!! No, no, stop quickly, don't spray anymore.....!"
Seeing this overwhelming amount of water coming down again, Wanda quickly yelled.
Carrot also opened her mouth wide: "No.... No, no! Stop quickly! This way we'll drown!"
"This much water discharge, basically Zunesha can only handle it once at most!"
"Twice, then it's very terrifying!!!"
As the second wave of seawater covered them, the city in front of them was like a mountain torrent eruption. Not only was the poison gas washed away completely, but even the facilities on the road were washed away~
"Uh..."
Luffy scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, "This..."
"Oh..." Wanda patted his chest, saying bitterly, "Anyway, thank you for saving us... Your great kindness, we Mink Tribe will keep it in our hearts."
"No need to keep it in your hearts or anything. Let's get something real..."
Luffy didn't like that sentimental stuff. Instead, he said directly, "We're here to clean up that piece of historical text in the Whale Forest. If you want to thank us, then let us see that piece of historical text!"
"Whale Forest.....!"
Upon hearing this, Wanda's face instantly showed a look of astonishment.
The reason their Mink Tribe was destroyed by Jack was because they secretly harbored a ninja from Wano Country!
And that ninja is now hidden in the Whale Forest...
Could it be... that they also came for Raizou of the Mist?
Wanda fell into deep thought...
As for Carrot~
She's Zunesha's young one, so she naturally doesn't know about Raizou of the Mist~
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? We don't need to take the historical text away; we just need to make a copy! Because the information I got is that this piece of historical text in the Whale Forest is a red Poneglyph, so no matter what, I obtain the information on it."
Luffy's expressed attitude~
The general meaning is... Actually, I can use force, but there's no need!
And as a great benefactor of Zunesha, Luffy's request is actually not excessive at all...
Wanda looked up at Luffy, thought for a moment, then said, "I'll take you to see Duke Dogstorm first! As for whether he agrees to your request, let's see what he says..."
Luffy smiled: "Okay."
Before long, led by Wanda and Carrot, Luffy and his group arrived at the Whale Forest.
"You mean... the reason Zunesha suddenly had two rains in a row was because of them?" Duke Dogstorm stared at Luffy and his group with confusion.
Wanda respectfully replied: "Yes, Duke Dogstorm, I saw it with my own eyes."
For such an absurd thing, Duke Dogstorm was clearly very cautious!!!
He thought for a moment, then squinted his eyes and stared at Luffy: "Mr. Luffy, how about... you demonstrate it for me on the spot?"
"No problem!"
Luffy was also eager to play again, so he roared at Zunesha: "Bathe the Whale Forest!"
Rumble~
A huge amount of seawater instantly poured towards the Whale Forest...
"Not good!!!"
Duke Dogstorm's face instantly changed drastically~
This time, the amount of seawater was the same as before, but this time it all poured towards the Whale Forest...
"Ah!—"
Duke Dogstorm and all the members of his Forest Firearm Squad were all caught in this turbulent flood, getting drenched...
Half an hour later, all the Mink Tribe who had been living in the Whale Forest returned, looking quite battered.
"Do you believe it now...?"
Luffy looked at Duke Dogstorm expressionlessly, but in reality, he was already secretly amused~
Although the other party's skepticism was also very reasonable, sometimes...
...a person still needs to show some temper to the other party...
Otherwise, others will think you're a soft persimmon that's easy to squeeze...
"Cough cough... I believe it... I believe it..."
He was already injured, and now he was washed out of the Whale Forest by the seawater. After taking several gulps of seawater along the way, Duke Dogstorm coughed violently~
"Then about transcribing the historical text..." Luffy looked at Duke Dogstorm.
"Since you are someone who can communicate with Zunesha... then I have no reason to stop you..."
Although Duke Dogstorm was not familiar with Luffy's details, Zunesha was a god in the hearts of the Zunesha people!
A person recognized by a god... what right does he, a mere head of a tiny Mink Tribe, have to stop him?
Led by Duke Dogstorm, Luffy and the others arrived deep within the Whale Forest.
A huge red historical text stone tablet was revealed before their eyes~
After translating and transcribing the historical text, Luffy and his group did not linger for too long, but bid farewell to the heavily injured Mink Tribe~
Getting off Zunesha, Luffy and the others returned to the Thousand Sunny~
"L-Luffy Captain... Jack, where's Jack?"
Caesar Clown asked nervously, as he didn't see Jack.
"Dead."
Luffy replied casually, then commanded Caesar Clown, "Oh right, since you're from the Beast Pirates, you definitely know how to get to Wano Country. Lead the way! We're going to Wano Country!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Caesar Clown was dumbfounded~
This way, wouldn't he be betraying the Beast Pirates?
Luffy's face turned cold: "Unwilling? If I kill you, someone else should be willing to lead the way, right?"
"Ah!! Lead! Lead, lead, lead!!!"
Although Caesar Clown was afraid of Kaido, he was more afraid of direct death...
The Jack Pirates led the way, and the Thousand Sunny followed closely behind~
Not long after, Luffy suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking in the direction behind the Thousand Sunny~
He saw that on the misty sea, Zunesha, towering into the clouds, had surprisingly followed.
Arrived here~
The red-framed screen slowly faded to black~
The image disappeared!
