Chapter 77

"fire!!"

In the cabin of Going Merry, Luffy held the main gun controller in his hand, and when he was about to hit Laboon, he pressed hard!!!

It has to be said that Luffy is always smart when it matters.

If Going Merry had crashed directly into the whale, it would have ended in a shipwreck.

However, the instantaneous recoil force generated by firing the main gun can greatly offset the potential energy of the forward rush, thus keeping Going Merry from crashing to the whale.

But the moment the cannonball was fired, Luffy was stunned!!

Hey~?

What about the whales??

The huge whale just disappeared!!!

The shell that was supposed to hit the whale also directly passed the position of the whale and flew to the distant sea.

boom!!

The shells fell.

"what!!__"

A small ship was blown up, and two people fell into the sea.

The man wore a crown and a green suit, dressed like a frog prince.

The woman has a soaring single ponytail, blue hair, and an evening dress, and she looks very beautiful.

The two are from Baroque Works, both are code-named agents, miss Wednesday and mr.9.

"Damn!! Where did the shells come from?"

The Frog Prince popped his head out of the sea, and he was in a daze.

He had clearly seen the prey on this trip, but his eyes blurred, as if the prey had disappeared, and then he saw a shell coming straight towards them.

poof~

Next to him, Miss Wednesday with blue soaring ponytails also floated up, she wiped the sea water from her face, and she was also dazed.

"Whale.....Where's the whale...?"

Looking in the direction of reverse mountain, Miss Wednesday asked in horror.

The corner of the Frog Prince's mouth twitched: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

After thinking for a moment, Frog Prince mr.9 suddenly showed a look of shock on his face: "No!!!! Our plan must have been known!!"

miss frowned on Wednesday: "Impossible? We received the mission directly from the base camp."

"No, no, no! Think about it carefully! Our goal is to hunt whales. We came from such a distance. We have seen whales a long time ago, but we waited for when we got to the whale, and the whale suddenly disappeared! This is absolutely not normal!!"

The Frog Prince carried a piece of driftwood from the hull and analyzed it carefully.

"What you said... seems to make sense!"

Miss Wednesday narrowed her eyes ,and nodded, "It seems that someone is deliberately trying to target us! It seems that this operation has to be suspended!"

After thinking about it, miss Wednesday made a decision, and then he looked at the position of the whale just now, and immediately saw a huge pirate ship.

"Remember that pirate ship, go back and report to the boss."

"That's right! Maybe relying on this information, the ranking of the two of us can go up a little bit!"

Thinking of this, the Frog Prince also came alive.

Afterwards, the two paddled the hull fragments and swam back.

"Hey hey hey!!! Where's the whale??"

On the deck of Going Merry, Luffy rushed out from the cabin and asked with a confused face.

"Isn't there?" Zoro pointed to Nami's palm and said.

Luffy looked over, only to find a miniature whale in Nami's palm.

"Ah!? Nani?" Luffy's mouth fell open all of a sudden.

Nami took her hand back with a whoosh: "Hey! This is not edible!"

The reason why the Whale Laboon is so small is because Nami used the little card from Clow's deck when Going Merry was about to hit the Whale Laboon.

Whale Laboon instantly became as small as Nami wanted.

"I don't want to eat it~~" Luffy scratched his head aggrievedly, then took a puddle of water from the bucket next to him, and poured it on the whale Laboon.

In this way, a puddle of water appeared in Nami's palm, and the miniature whale swam in it.

At this moment, a door suddenly opened on the body of the whale Laboon, and a ship rushed out from it.

only...

The ship is also super mini because of the little clow card.

And it's even smaller than Laboon~~

"f**k!!"

There was an old man on board, and the old man let out a shock as soon as he came out.

he looked up at the heads of several giants in the sky, and his whole body was numb

what happened???

Why are there so many giants?

wrong!

This is not called a giant anymore, this is called a giant among giants!!!

He has also been in contact with giants before, but no matter how big a giant is, it cannot compare to Laboon's.

Most giant are about the same size as Laboon.

But now what about these young giants, who hold Laboon in just one hand?

And he..., he was like a little ant in front of Laboon, now in the eyes of these giants, whether they can see him is still unknown.

As soon as he thought of this, the old man suddenly saw something terrifying!!!

He took a closer look and saw the lighthouse at twin Cape...

"No way..., how could the lighthouse..."

Seeing the huge lighthouse, the old man was shock!!!

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, he finally realized the problem.

Instead of meeting a giant, he and Laboon were shrunk!!!

He is also a man who has seen the world, and immediately understood that it was the work of Devil fruit power!

"Huh? There's another person here!!"

As a small card user, Nami can naturally sense an old man appearing beside the whale Laboon.

"Restore him first!"

Logan also saw the old man, and immediately recognized the old man as the former ship doctor Crocus on the Pirate King ship.

With a thought, Nami canceled the small card ability on Crocus.

"Hoo~"

Crocus heaved a sigh of relief as he returned to his normal size.

In the state just now, if someone wants to kill him, he only needs to pinch it lightly, and he will explode!

"Old man, who are you? Why did you come out of the whale's belly?" Luffy asked curiously.

Crocus pushed his glasses, and said in a deep voice, "When asking someone, it's polite to introduce yourself first, isn't it?"

"That's right, I'm sorry. I am..."

Luffy scratched his head, smiled apologetically, and was about to introduce himself, but was interrupted by Crocus again.

"My name is Crocus, and I am the guardian of the twin cape Lighthouse. I am 71 years old, and my blood type is AB." Crocus reported his family name in a leisurely manner.

Luffy's eyes are twitching... You wanted me to introduce myself first then you go cut me and introduce yourself first

I really want to beat you, you old man!!

"Crocus..., this name should be the name of the ship's doctor on the former Pirate King Roger ship. According to your age, you are also suitable. From this point of view, you are the ship's doctor of Roger pirate group."

Logan pretended to say it by analysis.

His words made Crocus a little surprised: "Oh~? You look so young, but you have heard of my name? It's so rare~~"

Logan was noncommittal: "Our captain is going to become the Pirate King. Therefore, I naturally want to inquire about some relevant information about the former Pirate King."

"Ah hello!! You Admit it???"

Usopp reacted suddenly, he looked at Crocus in shock, "You are actually the ship doctor of the pirate king?"

Logan smiled: "Don't be so surprised, he is not the first person on the pirate king ship we have seen.

"What?? Have we seen other people on the pirate king ship???"

This time, even Luffy opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Yeah. That's the red-nosed Buggy."

Is it unexpected?

Surprised or not??

Sure enough..., just as Logan expected, the friends were all shocked!!!

"No way!! That funny guy actually belong to Roger Pirates??"

Recalling the appearance of Buggy, Zoro said it was hard to believe~~

Luffy thought for a while: "That red nose? I didn't expect him to have such an identity!"

Nami frowned slightly: "His strength is so weak, is he really on the pirate king ship?"

"Hehe, that brat. He used to be a trainee crew member on Roger's ship. But his strength is really not that good. I didn't expect to be met by you~~"

While speaking, Crocus seemed to recall the years at that time, and the brown old man couldn't help but sigh.

Logan nodded: "Yes. Not only did we meet him, but we also exchanged him for a bounty."

puff~

Crocus almost choked to death~~

"Ahem...well, it looks like that kid has done a lot of bad things..."

With a sigh of relief, Crocus also felt helpless.

After Roger's death, the Roger Pirates will naturally disband~~

Everyone's ideas are different, and the natural ending is also different.

"Old man! Since you are the ship's doctor, then you can join my crew!!"

At this time, Luffy's "crazy" will to recruit people into the group is activated~~

"Ah~? Forget it. I'm already my in my old age, and even if the wind and waves are a little bit stronger, I will struggle."

Crocus refused without hesitation.

Later, he thought of something, and said: "If you need a ship's doctor, you may pass a place called Drum Island during the journey ahead. Doctor skill is very good there, and you can find a ship's doctor there."

"Old man, even you said that! It seems that Logan is right, there really is Magnetic Drum Island!!"

Usopp was delighted to hear Crocus mention Drum Island.

If Magnetic Drum Island exists and medicine is developed, then Kaya's disease will be solved!

Also thinking about Kaya is Nami, and Nami said happily: "It's great. When we arrive at Drum Island, we can cure Kaya's disease."

"Magnetic Drum Island... Okay! I've decided, we'll look for a ship doctor partner there!"

After serious consideration, Luffy raised his hands and made a decision.

Then, he looked at everyone: "It's not too late, let's go!"

"Wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Crocus quickly stopped them and said, "What are you going to do with Laboon?"

"Laboon? What?"

Luffy tilted his head, and three question marks emerged.

Crocus pointed to Nami's palm: "That's the whale."

"It wanted to eat us just now, but we will eat it first!!" As Luffy said, his mouth was drooling greedily.

"no!!" Crocus His complexion changed. "Laboon is not going to eat you, but..."

As he spoke, Crocus slowly told the Straw Hat Pirates about Laboon.

Laboon was originally an island whale that lived in West Blue.

When it was very young, It became friend with the Rumbar Pirates, and regarded the Rumbar Pirates as its crew, and followed the Rumbar Pirates to Cape Twins.

But the Rumbar Pirates couldn't take it into the Grand Line, so they let it wait here.

As a result, the Rumbar Pirates are gone forever, but Laboon has waited here for 50 years, still believing that its "crewmate" will come back to find it.

It thinks that its crewmate are on the other side of the Red Line, and as long as it passes by, it can pick up its crewmates.

So it often bumps its head against the mountain, trying to break a path.

"So that's how it is..., story is so touching~"

Nami's eyes sparkled.

Sanji sat on the ground, smoking a cigarette, and angrily scolded in a world-weary tone: "Those people threw it away, it's disgusting!!! They couldn't even keep their promises for their own lives.

Usopp is also full of grief and anger: "They threw this whale away??? It still believes them!! It has been waiting here for 50 years! Damn it!!!

"Hoo~~"

Nami took a deep breath to keep herself from crying out, she looked at Crocus, "Since you know those people can't come back, why don't you tell it? Can it understand human language?"

Crocus shook his head: "I told it without any concealment, but it didn't listen. It firmly believes that its companions will come to it...

"Its belief is right!"

At this time, Logan suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Crocus looked puzzled.

"How is that possible?" Sanji retorted immediately.

Usopp also firmly did not believe it: "Hey, hey! They have been away for 50 years, why do you still believe it?"

"Yeah, it's been so long " Zoro also nodded.

Logan did not respond to such questioning, but looked at everyone, and asked calmly: "If one day, we need to separate for some reason, I said that I will definitely come back to find

You, do you believe it?"

"I believe!"

Nami made a statement immediately.

Zoro said in a deep voice: "We are partners, of course we trust you unconditionally.

"It's your word, I'll definitely believe it!" Sanji also said.

Usopp also nodded: "The partner's words are worthy of trust!"

"Trust 100%!! Yay!"

After Luffy finished speaking

"Yes...that's it!!!"

Logan was very moved, and then he looked at Nami's hand that was gently holding Nami, poured Laboon into his palm, stroked it gently, and said with a smile:

"Rumbar Pirates, they are also Laboon's partners!!!"
