I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"Wait a moment!"

"You bunch of bastards, you stole my treasure and you think you can just walk away like that?! Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!"

The ape landed on the port side of the Merry, which was already patched up with wooden planks, and pounded his chest, shouting.

"It really is a gorilla."

"That's right, it's a gorilla!"

Sanji and Zoro retorted.

Nami's focus, however, was, "Treasure, is there really treasure, Luffy?!"

"Yes, there are many."

Luffy replied with a smile.

Zoro realized what was happening and gripped his sword hilt. "Damn it, what if he goes berserk on the ship..."

Then the Going Merry will have to bear things that it shouldn't have to bear at its age, even though it has already endured a lot.

Before Zoro could even draw his sword, his apprentices on the ape-man's salvage ship, speaking in a tone as if they had seen a ghost, were trembling on the ground, yet shouting with all their might.

"Director...Director, danger...danger!!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

"What?!"

The apes turned their heads to look at the sound, and Luffy, Bai Yun, and the others were also drawn by the trembling shout from the heart and turned to look.

I was instantly stunned with fear.

Luffy still showed interest when he saw the giant island turtle, but the sheer size of the creature before him filled him with utter shock.

Even the island tortoise itself, which had been leisurely chewing on the boat just moments before, vanished completely, its eyes wide open, sweating profusely as it stared at the enormous creature before it.

Five enormous, humanoid black figures with small wings on their backs and long spears in their hands appeared on the sea.

So enormous that the phrase "reaching for the sky and standing on the ground" has become a physical term.

How big is it? To put it simply, the island tortoise looks at a giant creature just like a human looks at it.

The Merry was not even half the size of the other party's fingernail.

Although Bai Yun knew it was just a projection, he couldn't control his expression. It was so huge that anyone with megalophobia would "die" if they looked at it.

Surprisingly, Little White wasn't afraid. Instead, it circled onto Bai Yun's shoulder, its eyes glowing blood red, baring its fangs and roaring at the shadowy figure. It was incredibly brave; of all the creatures visible at the scene, it was the smallest.

As the dark figure in the middle raised his spear, a deafening shout erupted from the crowd.

"Monster!!!"

Luffy and his crew unleashed their potential in an instant. Bai Yun flew to the second floor to take the helm, and they turned the ship's masts, leaving afterimages.

The Merry instantly turned right and fled like the wind, so fast that it felt as if the rider was flying ahead while the soul was chasing behind.

Chapter 191 Gaya

Calm and calm.

After Hun caught up with the people, Bai Yun and the others had arrived at a calm sea area, with seagulls flying in the sky and a sea breeze on their faces.

It was as if that astonishing scene had never happened.

........

"Hoo ho ho!!"

On the Merry, everyone was so tired that they sat down on the deck.

I'm still shaken by what just happened.

Sanji lit a cigarette. "What kind of weird day is this?"

Sweat still dripped from Zoro's forehead. "First, a giant sailboat descended from the sky..."

Nami sat there, hugging her legs tightly, clinging to her frail self. "The Log Pose is still pointing straight to the sky..."

Usopp looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, "and then the strange ape salvaged the ship."

Chopper exhaled, "But then the giant sea turtle swallowed him and the boat whole."

Robin rested his chin on his right hand and uttered four simple words: "Darkness descends."

Luffy exclaimed with his mouth agape, "Then appeared a [giant monster] that was dozens of times larger than the giant one."

Bai Yun concluded, "Overall, it was a truly fantastic and nerve-wracking day."

"Yes, even I was terrified when I saw it, it was terrifying."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, but the existing members of the Straw Hat Pirates had already finished speaking.

The ape was also sitting on the deck of the Merry, hugging its "small" self.

"......"

"Get out of here."

After an eerie three-second silence, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were sent flying into the sky by a single kick from a human-ape.

This guy won't die; in fact, he thrives in the sea.

........

After "friendly farewell" to the orangutans, the Merry continued its journey on the high seas.

Usopp and Chopper were boasting about how they had single-handedly defeated ten of those enormous black shadows.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had been so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Chopper's personality is such that he believes whatever others tell him.

Nami's shouts rang out from behind; she was furious at the pile of junk that Luffy and his friends had salvaged.

"What exactly did you dive down there to look for?"

"After all that, we brought back this junk, without a single clue about the [Sky]."

There was nothing there to begin with.

Zoro replied.

Sanji nodded. "It's not my fault, Nami."

"That ship had clearly been looted, or there had been internal strife and infighting."

"That's why we need useful intelligence even more. If we're going to Sky Island next, what happened on that ship might happen to us too."

"What I need is vital intelligence, a matter of life and death! What use are these broken knives? Cutlery? Live octopuses?"

"Isn't there a logbook or nautical chart or anything?!"

Nami was so angry that she stomped on the broken copper and scrap iron.

As swordsmen and cooks, Zoro and Sanji were still heartbroken that the food was almost completely rotten.

Luffy, also wearing rusty armor, came over. Under Nami's Armament Haki, one punch sent Luffy sprawling and his armor shattering.

Nami stormed off to the second-floor deck, while Robin sat on the edge of the boat by the stairs.

"Miss Nami, I brought you some pretty seashells."

Sanji took out a seashell and said with a smile.

"Who cares! You idiot!!"

Nami turned around and shouted angrily.

Nami prefers Beli to Shell.

Robin watched silently, his right hand still supporting his right cheek, and smiled.

"You've really worked hard."

"It's going to get even tougher from here on out. These idiots, and that guy who's been sitting on the lookout tower for no apparent reason, shooting birds? He's in the mood to shoot birds now!"

"I don't even know which way to go."

Nami glanced at Bai Yun on the observation deck and complained.

Robin smiled back. Only she knew that when she touched the Log Pose of the ape, Bai Yun had the same idea as her. After learning that she had also made a move, he withdrew his flower-shaped arm.

"this is for you."

Robin handed Nami the Log Pose from Jaya Island.

"Huh? Isn't that the record pointer?!"

Nami said with a hint of surprise.

"I got it from that ape brother just now."

Robin explained.

Nami was so moved that she cried, "Waaah, you're the only one who understands me."

The unspoken meaning behind her words was Luffy's desire to eat grilled octopus.

Nami turned around, took off her shoes, and threw them on Luffy's head in one swift motion. Then she turned back and looked at Robin with emotion.

Robin's gaze, seemingly unconcerned, suggested, "Yes, true friends are hard to find..."

Nami carefully examined the location under the Log Pose, "[Gaya Island]? That should be the ape's base camp."

Luffy had already come over with a box of takoyaki. "Jaya, are we going there?"
