Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"It must have been Luffy who did it anyway."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nami and the others arrived.

They came following the sound; the commotion here was so loud that the deafening roar could be heard throughout the entire Zou Island.

Then the fur-bearers saw a bizarre scene:

An orange-haired woman stormed up to the sea emperor who had just defeated two kings and grabbed his ear.

Nami shouted, "Luffy! What are you doing? Are we here to fight?"

"Pain Pain!"

"Conqueror's Haki?"

Jinbe was so frightened by what he saw that he took a step back.

Luffy grinned and shouted, "There's a reason for that. Besides, they attacked first."

"Why didn't you dodge?!"

The Mink warriors standing nearby nearly popped their eyes out at the sight.

Who is this woman?

How dare they treat a maritime emperor like this?

Moreover, that sea emperor actually obediently accepted the scolding without any resistance. Could it be that this woman is actually more powerful than the sea emperor?

Soon, after Perod's explanation, Nami and the others finally understood what had happened.

Luffy also straightened up, puffed out his chest, and said:

Am I such an unreasonable person?

Apologize to me!

Nami rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Is not it?

However, she still gave Luffy face in front of outsiders and apologized in accordance with his words.

Chapter 494 The Red Road Sign: Historical Text

Chopper seemed to smell a patient, and carrying a medical kit bigger than himself, he ran over at lightning speed.

Where is the patient?

Where is the patient?

Chopper ran and shouted, sniffing the air, and soon found Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, the two unconscious wounded. He was shocked when he saw their injuries. Such injuries would have killed an ordinary person countless times. Who could have beaten them up like this?

Then Chopper saw Luffy giving him a peace sign.

Well, it turns out it's my own captain!

Chopper quickly wrapped Nekomamushi and Inuarashi into two large white dumplings, bandaging them tightly so that only their noses were exposed to breathe.

"The injury has stopped, and now he just needs to rest."

Chopper pushed up his hat and announced with a professional look, "However, they've both been too exhausted. They can't do anything too strenuous for a while, or their wounds will reopen and cause trouble."

The Mink Tribe looked at Chopper with a mixture of admiration and gratitude.

Chopper instantly went limp and weak. "Damn it, even if you say that, I won't be happy!"

Thank you, friends.

Perod glanced at the Straw Hat crew in front of him and thanked them solemnly.

Carrot, standing nearby, was stunned. "Would you really say something like that, Perodua?"

Perod clenched his fist. That rabbit!

Should we have braised rabbit heads later?

Welcomed by the Mink Tribe, the Straw Hat crew was ushered into the Whale Forest, the sacred land of the Mink Tribe and the territory of the Wool Kingdom. However, outsiders were not allowed to enter the Whale Forest.

As friends and benefactors, Luffy and his crew clearly deserve this honor.

As they headed toward the Whale Forest, Usopp and Chopper looked around curiously, their eyes filled with wonder.

From a distance, the whale-like trees form a natural palace, with sunlight filtering through the gaps and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"On another note, how come you're all in the forest, and the towns here have suffered a lot of damage?"

Luffy looked to both sides and saw only ruins and signs of battle everywhere he went.

What happened in Zou?

Carrot recounted Jack's invasion, mentioning his five-day, five-night battle with the Nekomamushi leader, Duke Inuarashi, who, despite winning, left, leaving everyone puzzled.

Her little face was full of worry.

"I wonder if that pirate will ever come back after he leaves."

"Probably not."

Luffy laughed, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew all wore strange expressions.

Carrot tilted her head in confusion, her rabbit ears twitching as she did so.

Nami coughed lightly and said, "On the way here, we encountered that guy named Jack. Luffy sank him and his ship into the sea."

“That Jack?” Perodua’s eyes widened.

"A monster that even the Nekomamushi boss and Duke Inuarashi couldn't defeat together?"

A gasp erupted from the Mink tribe, and Carrot's eyes widened in astonishment. "Wow, this is the Sea Emperor! Can I become the Sea Emperor too!"

"Idiot, do you think the Sea Emperor is a carrot?"

Wanda finally realized what was happening and said with a hint of helplessness, "If being a sea emperor were so easy, the seas wouldn't have been occupied by the same people for so many years."

"Haha, there's a chance. Your people seem to have a lot of potential. I've seen people from your Mink tribe in many places."

Luffy burst out laughing. He remembered the bear next to the man with the thugs, and he also seemed to have encountered a cat in the Big Mom Pirates.

The fur-bearing tribe still has potential.

In some ways, they are as gifted as the giants, a true warrior race. Even the weakest of them, the Mink Tribe, has the strength to deal with ordinary pirates.

Combat strength like that of Nekomamushi and Inuarashi would definitely place them at the executive level even in a Yonko pirate crew.

Of course, everything is fine as long as we don't encounter the Four Emperors.

The emperors of the sea don't care whether you're an official or not.

Carrot nodded vigorously, her eyes shifting from shock to adoration, and then from adoration to something sparkling.

She clearly fell for it.

The Mink Tribe was even more welcoming to the Straw Hat crew, offering them wine and food as a treat for their friends who had come from afar. Pedro then introduced Luffy and his crew to the city.

The city center was surrounded by a layer of white mist, and the moonlight gave it a hazy feel, because Elephant was so high that the town was practically in the clouds.

The town is quite large, comparable to a major city, with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters. Luffy and his crew are currently heading to the Whale Forest, the sacred land of the Mink Tribe.

Originally, this place should have been under the command of Nekomamushi, and the Mink Tribe under Duke Inuarashi would not have gone there. However, after the Jack incident, the two sides temporarily united, not to mention they also have Luffy and his group of mutual friends.

We'll have to wait until both sides wake up before deciding what to do next.

It's still a single zongzi (rice dumpling) now.

As for why they went to the Whale Forest, it was Zunesha who told him that there were things Luffy needed there, and he was asked to go and take a look.

As for what it is, Luffy doesn't know either.

The urgent voice of the elephant god made him very curious, and he couldn't help but ask a couple of questions.

Not long after,

“We have a general idea of ​​the situation, but can you tell us why you know that something exists in our holy site?”

The cat viper had woken up and was staring at Luffy with his pupils constricted.

"That's what he said." Luffy pointed to Zunesha's trunk.

"You can communicate with Zunesha?!"

Inuarashi also woke up. He had subconsciously gripped the hilt of the longsword at his waist, but he immediately let go.

Luffy said, "Isn't this big guy alive? If he's alive, why can't we communicate?"

"But......"

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Elephant is indeed alive, but that doesn't mean we can communicate with it.

The fur tribe only had a slight understanding of the habits of the elephant spirit, and they were protected by the elephant spirit, regarding it as sacred. However, no one in the fur tribe was able to communicate with the elephant spirit.

As the emperor of the sea, Straw Hat wouldn't stoop to lying about such things.

As the protector of the Mink Tribe, Zunesha carries too much weight. Nekomamushi and Inuarashi have no reason to stop him. Moreover, since the Straw Hats arrived on the island, Zunesha has visibly become happier. The Mink Tribe and Zunesha have coexisted for so long, and they are quite aware of Zunesha's emotions.

"Oh, this meat is quite good."

As Luffy ate along the way, he was surprised to find that the Mink Tribe's food was quite delicious, suggesting that they were skilled cooks.

This caused Sanji and Frye, who were cooking not far away, to raise their eyebrows slightly.

Will the food earn the captain's praise?

If I have the chance, I should definitely give it a try.

"Luffy, try this!"

Carrot approached Luffy with a large bunch of carrots, saying, "Here, have some carrots."

carrot?
