Chapter 41: The Gorge of Promise(1/2)
"Hmph, break into someone else's territory privately,"
The old man put away the newspaper and stood up.
"Do you think this is the rat's belly?"
········
"Sure enough, we were indeed swallowed by whales."
Nami, who had recovered, looked at the surrounding scenery and thoughtfully.
"No wonder, I said why the clouds in the sky have not changed yet..."
"That was what I drew."
········
"Why is there light?"
"It is a plant called glowing moss that parasitizes on the whale's stomach wall." The old man pointed to the 'sea surface'... Well, it was actually in the distance of the whale's stomach juice, where there was a huge iron door.
“There is the exit there, you can go through there…”
Rumble!!
The violent vibration interrupted the old man's words and made his face look somber.
"You guys wait for me,"
After saying that, before Nami, Luffy and others could react, they jumped into the sea with a plop and... gastric juice.
“What should I do now?”
As the few people looked at each other, the Golden Melis had slowly turned around.
"Cool! Why don't you come here to row?"
Long oars were thrown onto the deck by the "White Knight", and Roman, who was in the helm, looked at the coolie trio in anger.
"Commitment starts! Let's go to the exit place first and wait for this uncle to open the door."
It is impossible to salt fish, and salt fish has no future in this world. - Haven't you seen that Ah Long was once a fishman cadre working on a great route, but he ended up running to the East China Sea to salt fish for eleven years, and he was ruined!
"There is no wind here, so I can only move forward manually by paddling, and I will leave it to you."
The Golden Melis is a sea ship, at least dozens of tons. Fortunately, the Coolie trio are all strong monsters, and pushing the sailboat with oars is not a problem for them. However:
"This shock...what is this whale doing...?"
“It’s hitting the Red Clay Continent,”
Roman took the topic unhappily, "Did you not pay attention before? You can tell by looking at the dense wounds on his head~~"
"Then why did it hit the Red Clay Continent?"
Faced with Usopp's question, Roman at the helm rolled his eyes, "Maybe it can't think it's going to go."
·······
Soon, the violent vibration slowly stopped, and the Golden Meli also came to the huge iron gate. If the old man said correctly, open it here-
Bang!
On a platform above the huge iron door, a normal door was opened by violent vibration, and two came out from inside...
“Ahhhhhh~~~”
"It's going to fall~~~"
Plop, plop!
Two figures of a man and a woman flew down and fell into the sea... The whale's stomach juice, but there was another figure:
“Ah~~?,”
"Beautiful lady, I'm here to save you~~"
There will be such a performance. Who else is there except Sanji on the Golden Meli? Everyone is calm and watch the show, so after Sanji took up the girl with a blue ponytail and another man with a … crown:
"Who are these two guys~~"
"Is it a bounty hunter with cannons?"
Just as several people were looking at the two men and women in strange clothes, the old man's roar just now came from the small platform of the iron gate.
"With me here, I will never let you hurt Rab!"
??
“We don’t…”
Luffy and his men looked confused, only to say "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." When they denied the third company, the iconic villain laughter came from behind.
"Hehehe~~~"
“Hahaha~~~”
"Now we're in the whale's belly..."
"Just just have a hole in the stomach and you can get it..."
While speaking, the two men and women who had just been rescued directly picked up the rocket launcher... rocket launcher... and other pressed the trigger, and the two shells blasted towards the old man's "wall"!
"Don't think about it-"
At the critical moment, the old man suddenly jumped in front of the shell! With two rumbling sounds, black smoke fell down.
!
"Hohoho, if you want to protect this whale, just do it~~~"
"Hahaha, we want to use it as food for our town-"
Bang, bang!
The man and woman with a standard villain had just raised their looks for a second, and were knocked to the ground by Luffy behind her!
"Well, I can't help but beat someone up."
·······
Just as everyone else was focusing on these two funny guys, only Roman looked at the old man who was blasted into the water and crawled out again in front of him: Kurokas.
hehe,
He was receiving shells on his face but not even his glasses were damaged. How dare he say that he would not be domineering?
—————
"The whale is named Rab, and its race is the 'island whale'." Because Luffy stopped two men and women who intended to hurt the whale, the old man followed the situation and revealed the consequences.
"These two gangsters are trying to beat Rabbo because its meat is enough for a town to eat for a few years."
"But I won't let them succeed, not only because Rabu is my friend, but also my agreement with others."
The agreement, the two simple words, carry the dreams and stories of countless people.
"Many years ago, a group of pirates from the West Sea passed by here. Rather than saying they were pirates, they were a music group......" As the old man told, Roman, Luffy and his group also learned about this story.
"Their ship was damaged when they entered the great route and stayed here for a while, so we became friends too."
"Rab is too small to follow them on the great route, so they left Raab here and agreed to come back to pick Raab after a week of circling the great route."
As a result, it took fifty years to go there!
"Fifty years? That is to say...
"Yes, that pirate group has been buried by the Great Route."
"In recent years, Rab has grown from a little whale to a real 'island whale'. It has no way to swim back to the West Sea through the great route to verify whether its companions have returned to their hometown..."
In fact, with Rab's IQ that can understand human language, how could it not know that his former "partners" are likely to have been buried in the sea?
Just... Just... I'm not willing to give up!
"So this giant whale named Rab blocked the entrance to the great route and continued to hit the Red Clay Continent?"
"Yes, and the only thing I can do is to calm it down with medication."
Kark,
As the huge iron door opened, a waterway appeared in front of the Golden Melis.
"From here to the outside waters, you will be safe after you go out."
"Wow, it's really... it's really...
Facing Nami's admiration, the old man answered calmly.
"Just think this is a doctor's playful heart, because Rab is too huge and can only treat it from the inside of his body..."
"Hey? Are you a doctor?"
Luffy found a blind spot, "Come on our boat and be a boat doctor~~"
To be continued...
