Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 182 Irresistible Disgust

Ou Bei pulled up his pants... ahem ~ and left the deck with the note with the request, returning to his temporary laboratory.

As for the remaining two people...Little Buggy sat on the ground with his knees hugged in grievance, tears could be vaguely seen in the corners of his eyes.

Osi looked at the other party, wanting to say something but hesitant, and finally could only stand there in silence dejectedly.

How should I put it... this scene really resembles the ending scene of some "animal movies" with three-letter labels.

"Don't be sad, Bucky."

"It's just a pinch on the nose."

"Aren't you determined to become a full-time crew member on the ship? How can you cry over something like this?"

Shanks, wearing a straw hat, sat down next to his friend and comforted him softly.

"Who are you calling a red nose?"

Although he was still depressed, Bucky shouted subconsciously.

But after shouting, he fell into a state of aggrievedness again.

Seeing this, Ossi also sat on the other side of him and joined in comforting him.

"Yeah, yeah~ How can a man cry over such a trivial matter~"

"Besides, Oubey has already promised to make you a gun."

"She made this herself, and the finished product is guaranteed to make your jaw drop!"

"Uh-huh."

Bucky sniffed when he heard that, and put the matter aside for the time being.

……

The journey returned to normal after that, and Ossi didn't cause any trouble along the way.

Ou Bei still stayed in her laboratory, only coming out for a while to eat, but basically she would just eat a few bites and then go back again.

During this time, Shanks and Buggy gradually relaxed and began to play and bicker as if they were on their own ship.

However, Buggy still doesn't dare to approach Obe and Osi, and is consciously avoiding them.

On the contrary, he gradually became closer to La and started calling her "sister".

And it wasn't just Buggy, even Shanks began to subconsciously move closer to La.

Maybe it was because the dinner La cooked was delicious, maybe it was because La’s voice was so gentle, or maybe it was because they felt a certain kind of love from La that they had never felt before.

In short, after only half a day of getting along, the new red and blue ones replaced the old ones and became La's followers.

"Sister La, what color do you like?"

"Sister La, is there any food you hate?"

"Sister La, do you want to hear about our adventures at sea?"

"Sister La, are you going to get the pointer?"

"Shanks, I got it first, I should give it to Sister La!"

"But I was the one who discovered it first, so I should go!"

"I should go!"

"No, I should go!"

……

"Tsk~"

Looking at the two little kids arguing with each other, Ossi leaned against the fence with his arms folded over his chest, and made an unhappy sound.

These two hateful guys actually dared to seize the ecological niche next to Sister La right under her nose.

It's like looking for trouble by holding a lantern in the sky!
But at this most critical moment, that guy Oubei rushed into the laboratory, leaving her alone outside.

[But without Kansai~ Cricket Oubey and the like are just dispensable mascots. Even just one of me, Oubey, is enough!]
[Look, I'm going to find a reason to give these two ignorant brats a good beating!]
As for why he had to find a reason, after all, the parents were watching them. If he just hit them unreasonably, even a thick-skinned Osi would feel embarrassed.

"Ahem... I said—"

"Sister La, look, we're here!"

Just as Ossi was about to speak, he heard a hateful red-nosed man pointing at an island in the distance and shouting excitedly.

"Hey! Buggy, you got there again! I saw it first!"

"...Hmm? We've finally arrived...Totland."

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh, who was leaning on a chair drinking, stood up and walked to the front of the deck to watch.

In front of me was an island that looked a little shiny, and the slightly transparent buildings reflected colorful light in the sunlight.

Even in the New World, which is full of strange islands, this is a very unique island.

However, compared to everyone's curiosity about the island in the distance, La was always looking under the water.

As soon as their ship arrived in this sea area, it was discovered by a group of strange creatures on the seabed, and these creatures have been reporting their whereabouts to the outside world.

[Is this... a modified organism?]
[This is a truly unique investigative method.]
But La just watched without any extra movements. After all, this was the other party's territory. It didn't make sense to be a guest in someone else's home and dismantle the surveillance camera.

But just as Baishou and his companions were about to continue moving towards the island, a sailboat with a child's face suddenly sailed towards them.

"La la la~"

"I am a ship~ I am a ship~"

"?!"

"Look! Shanks! That ship actually spoke!"

"Yeah! I saw it! And it can actually sing!"

“It’s amazing!”*2
The two children were shocked to see that an ordinary sailboat could actually speak.

"Is that the ability of that woman Big Mom? It's amazing~"

Rayleigh had naturally seen the other party's ability before, so he didn't react too much.

As for La, he saw through the essence of this thing at a glance.

"Oh? It's the ability to give life to dead things..."

"The so-called devil fruit abilities are really bizarre."

“But it seems a bit shoddy.”

A part of a creature's soul had been stuffed into the ship before him, but the method was extremely crude, basically only giving the other party the most basic intelligence, with no possibility of further growth.

But compared to everyone's reactions of surprise, indifference, or being used to it, Osi's side seemed much more intense.

"hu~hu~"

Her breathing began to become rapid, her body was shaking slightly, the fluorescent light at the end of her red hair flickered, and she looked like a stressed kitten.

Hiss~

"Call...Call...Call..."

A faint light had begun to gather in her mouth, but this time it was not golden but a trace of faint blue arcs and flames!
"Summon?"

Everyone except La looked at Osi in surprise as her behavior became abnormal, not understanding why she suddenly took an attacking stance.

As the light in his mouth grew brighter, Osi began to feel pain, as if the attack would hurt himself before hitting others.

This was the backlash from forcibly using powers that she had not yet fully mastered. She had not yet grown to the point where she could control the full power.

"Summon, summon...Lei..."

"Ugh..."

The faint blue light grew brighter and brighter amid Osi's painful whimpers, but it never fully condensed into shape.

“Summon thunder…!”

"Ossie."

Finally, with La Kongling's call, Osi was pulled out of his out-of-control state.

The core of divine power in his body was still beating unnaturally. Osi held his chest and sat against the fence, his face looking very ugly.

"what happened?"

La asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask. The hint of blue flame that Osi just leaked made everyone, including Rayleigh, feel a chill down their spines.

"Nothing, Sister La."

"I just saw something disgusting and lost control for a moment."

Ossi looked with disgust at the sailboat Homiz, which had fainted from fear.

　Is the Summoning Thunderball a fireball or a thunderball? It looks like thunder during the charging phase, but after it's launched, it looks like fire.
