One Piece: Devil Fruit? Ninjutsu, boy.

On a certain sea area of the Grand Route, a dhow is heading alone towards its destination.

At this time, three days have passed since leaving Whiskey Town. Weiwei has gradually become accustomed to life on the Meili. Today, the excitement on the ship is still the same.

On the top deck, Vivi and Nami were lying on beach chairs enjoying a sunbath. Sanji was busy near them, sometimes asking if they wanted a summer refreshing drink, and sometimes asking if he wanted to eat barbecue.

As the captain, Luffy was lying on the lovely sheep’s head of the Merry as always.

Several clones and Zoro were sweating.

As for the real body, Lot was with Usopp, sitting cross-legged on the main deck, seeming to be studying something.

“You’ve been watching all morning. What are you doing, Lot?”

Seeing Lot spreading a lot of newspapers on the ground and writing down notes, Usopp couldn’t help but asked curiously.

“I’m looking for information about Miss. all Sunday. Without raising his head

, Lot answered the question while turning over a torn newspaper.

Usopp”…….”

It seems that his brother really got into trouble with that woman…..

“The only person in an organization who knows the true identity of the boss, and this boss is a member of the Shichibukai, there is a high probability that Miss. Sunday is a guy who is receiving a bounty from the navy. Even if there is no bounty, there may be reports about her. news”

“And I am here with this information.”

Crumping up an old newspaper that was sure to have no valuable information and throwing it into the sea, Lot continued to explain.

“That woman must be a Devil Fruit user. She can throw you and Sanji into the air out of thin air under so many pairs of eyes, throw Zoro’s sword into the sea, take away Luffy’s hat, and play that dirty trick on me again!”

Speaking of the last point, Lot’s voice became a little louder. He gritted his teeth and tore open another newspaper before calming down his tone and continued:

“My preliminary judgment is that her ability may be related to telekinesis – Speaking of which, how did you feel when you were thrown away?”

“Does it feel like – as if someone grabbed your ankle and threw it out with force?”

Usopp held his chest and tilted his head, trying to recall the vague feeling at that time.

“Got caught…..”

After hearing Usopp’s words, Lot closed his eyes and pondered.

What he felt at the time was that there seemed to be an extra mass coming out of his crotch. It felt like a long, spinning thing, and it was moving intentionally or unintentionally. It was very close to his fatal weakness. His first reaction at the time was that the woman was vicious. Usopp, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy’s encounter refuted his conjecture on the spot.

I can’t figure it out at all, what kind of ability can do this kind of thing?…

Lot is now one of the top two. Even if he doesn’t start from his own revenge, the next time he meets that woman, he will be an enemy. Knowing the opponent’s combat capabilities before facing the enemy can give him an advantage on the battlefield.

“Look, everyone! I see the island!”

While he was distressed, Luffy’s overjoyed voice attracted everyone on the ship.

“Look, that should be the [Small Garden]!”

Luffy showed his big white teeth and pointed his finger at an island not far away.

“It must be right! Connected to the island of Whiskey Town! Our next destination is that island!!”

Nami, who came to the bow from the stern of the ship, confirmed Luffy’s words after taking a look at the pointing of the record pointer.

“That island is the second island after we entered the [Grand Line]!!”

The Meili drove along a river and entered the [Small Garden].

The trees on both sides of the bank were not very tall, but unusually lush. What hit us was a sense of ancient desolation far away from the human world.

“Be careful, Miss. I said on Sunday that this place is dangerous. I’m a little worried….”

“meeting…Will there be monsters coming out?”

“Who knows, it’s time for us to replenish food. We didn’t replenish anything in the last town.”

Sanji blew out smoke rings and talked about the shortage of food on the ship.

“This dense rainforest is like a secret realm…No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like [Small Garden]….”

Nami looked around the surrounding environment and said tremblingly

“I have never seen those plants in plant illustrations….”

Just as he was talking, Nami suddenly covered her ears with a piercing and weird scream.

“It’s just a strange bird. This is an ordinary rainforest. There’s nothing to worry about….”

Sanji wanted to show his trustworthiness in front of the two girls, but Nami leaned directly next to Lot.

When the shadow of the bird approached the Meili, everyone realized that it was not an ordinary bird at all, but a huge lizard with a pair of wings, and its posture seemed to be planning to attack the Meili. Perform a dive attack

“careful!”

The momentum brought by the lizard bird’s swooping frightened Weiwei to retreat, and she subconsciously imitated Nami and hid behind Lot.

“Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!”

Before the lizard bird’s claws touched the hull, Lott threw out a shuriken, which split into dozens of shurikens when it was halfway flying, and instantly transformed the strange bird into a hedgehog.

“Cook, the food you asked for has arrived. Go and haul it up.”

The scene that he wanted to express but was ignored was seen by Zoro. With a mocking smile on his face, he touched Sanji’s shoulder and motioned him to drag up the strange bird that fell into the river.

“You green algae head, I’m going to go to you!”

Sanji slapped Zoro’s hand on his shoulder away.

Boom– just when Zoro and Sanji were about to fight, with a loud noise, the entire island seemed to shake. Even the hull of the Meili on the river was shaking.

“Can this sound be heard in an ordinary rainforest?”

“It was like the sound of a volcano erupting!”

Usopp, who has always been timid, held his head and screamed.

“Decided! Don’t land on this island! We will leave when the record pointer is full on the boat! The strange bird that Lot just shot down is enough to satisfy us for the rest of the voyage!”

Frightened by the lizard bird half the size of the boat and the earth-shattering noises, Nami, who was as courageous as Usopp, immediately decided to stay on the boat.

However, Luffy was already calling Sanji to make him a lunch. With excitement on his face, he couldn’t wait to go on an adventure on the island, and Sanji actually walked into the kitchen.

“Make one for me, Sanji, I plan to go to the island for a walk too!”

After being swayed by the wind and waves on the boat for a few days, Lot also had the idea of walking on land.

As soon as he finished speaking, Weiwei’s voice sounded:

“that…Can I go with you?”

“No problem, but this island doesn’t look simple. Remember to stay with me or Luffy.”

“Why do you want to go up too?!”

Nami wanted to stop Weiwei. This island is so dangerous. Wouldn’t it be better to stay on the boat?

But Weiwei said that if she stayed on the boat all the time, she would have random thoughts, so she wanted to go out and relax.

“Don’t worry, if something goes wrong, I will immediately escape on the Karu Duck!”

Speaking, Weiwei patted Karu Duck on the head.

“…..No, it was too frightened to speak….”

Looking at the duck with its eyes wide open and its mouth opening and closing, unable to make a sound, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was in an abnormal state of fear, Nami complained.

No matter what Nami said, a few minutes later, Luffy Lott walked in front, and Weiwei rode the Karu Duck to slow them down and set foot on the land.

“Miss Wednesday is so brave.”

“No wonder she was able to infiltrate the enemy’s company.”

Looking at the slightly leaving figures, Usopp and Nami expressed their sincere appreciation.

“Anyway, I’m too busy, so I’ll go for a walk.”

After finishing his exercise and putting on his clothes, Zoro moved his shoulders and expressed his intention to go to the island.

“Hey, wait Zoro!

Sanji suddenly stopped Zoro who had already set foot on land,”Catch another beast and come back!””

“ah? Wasn’t that strange bird that Lot just shot down enough?”

“I just went to see it. There probably aren’t many places where the strange bird can eat. I don’t know how long it will take to get to the next island after leaving this island. It would be better to store more food.”

“Well, got it, I’ll catch some beasts that you can’t handle.”

With that said, Zoro turned to leave, but his last words caught Sanji’s attention.

What do you mean by a beast that I can’t handle? Does it mean that you, the green algae head, are more powerful than me? Ah???

“Just wait! asshole!”

“ah?”

“I can’t turn a deaf ear to your words! Are you saying that you can catch bigger prey than me?”

“Of course!”

“Let’s have a hunting game!”

Sanji stepped on the railing.

“Woohoo, why do all these guys want to go to such an island that looks very dangerous at first glance?!”

Looking at the two figures who were about to split into two groups and walk into the forest, Nami was about to burst into tears. Then she realized something and screamed loudly:

“Wait, wouldn’t this leave me and a completely unreliable Usopp on the ship?!”

“This is what I want to say!”

Usopp and Nami disliked each other at the same time.

———— the other side

“The ecology of this island is just like the dinosaur era I know…..”

Squatting down, Lot picked up a leaf of a plant and observed it carefully, then whispered in amazement.

Most of the animals and plants he encountered along the way could only be seen in books or fossil specimens in museums when he was a PhD student in biology. 1.

“Because of the magical climate of the”Grand Line”, there is no communication between the islands, so each island has its own unique culture. There are both highly civilized islands here…..There are also islands that have not evolved for tens of thousands of years and retain their original features! Therefore, islands in the age of dinosaurs are not uncommon on this great route.”

Weiwei, who was following her, explained, and then her eyes inadvertently caught sight of Luffy who was making a fuss and yelling not far away. The moment she looked over, a pterosaur swooped down and killed him. Picked it up and flew into the air

“Eh?!! Luffy was taken away!!”

Weiwei was so frightened that she screamed.

“Is that guy asking for help?”

Lott, who was thinking about whether to pick some leaves and take them back for specimens, asked in a very calm tone without even raising his head.

“….Not really.”

After squinting her eyes, Weiwei discovered that Luffy, whose head was being held in his mouth, not only didn’t ask for help, but was also cheering loudly and acting even more excited.

“Then let him play.”

Weiwei”…….” this…Can it be considered fun? That pterosaur can now swallow Luffy whole with just one opening of its mouth!!

Surprised by the trust between the two parties, Lot, who was more familiar and closer, said it didn’t matter, and she had no choice but to restrain her inner anxiety.

Then she followed Lott silently for the rest of the way, and even though the animal was concentrating on doing its own thing, as soon as the animals wandering nearby showed the intention to attack, they would attack her before they got close to her. She would immediately get rid of the figure and then turn around to concentrate on her own thing. Weiwei couldn’t help but feel a little curious about this man.

Speaking of which, it has been almost a week since they met each other and four days since boarding the Meili. It seems that she has not had a good conversation with Lot.

Since Lot had been very rude to her in the previous meeting, and she was a pirate with a bounty of 20 million, Luffy didn’t have the stupidity and casualness, and the whole person seemed very serious and steady. Occasionally, she would really not be able to withstand Luffy or Usopp’s entanglement, so she would just follow them and do some mischief, so Weiwei always had a kind of awe for Lot in her heart.

But now when I’m alone with him, I miraculously don’t feel any restraint.���Following his tall figure, she felt an inexplicable sense of security, as if no danger would come close to her.

‘What a strange man…’

Because Lot was moving very slowly, Weiwei also got off the Karu Duck and walked, and the two of them walked to the edge of a river unknowingly.

And this quiet atmosphere suddenly reminded De Weiwei of the turmoil in Alabasta, and she couldn’t help but subconsciously murmured:”The motherland is in such chaos now, is it really okay for me to relax here so leisurely?”

“Didn’t you say that you would have random thoughts on the boat and then decide to go to the island for a walk?”

Lot’s voice rang in my ears at the right time.

“You were here first, but you were just thinking wildly”

“I…I just want to get back to Alabasta as soon as possible and tell the truth to the world so that no one will have to die because of the war.”

With lowered eyebrows, Weiwei said in a low voice.

“Hey, I said.”

Rotte suddenly stopped, which caught De Weiwei off guard and bumped into his back, causing the latter to stagger back a few steps.

‘How…What’s wrong?”

Hearing Lot’s suddenly serious voice, Weiwei panicked for a moment. Did she just say something wrong?

“Are you really naive enough to think that just going back and telling the truth will end the war?”
