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

All the secrets of this world are hidden there.

Roger became the Pirate King because he went there.

Now that the Straw Hat Pirates possess this piece, it means they already have a quarter of the tickets to the final island.

"To be honest, I'm also very curious about what secrets the final island holds," Kuzan said, touching the red Poneglyph in front of him.

Brooke jumped onto the ice and leaned closer to take a look. "Hehehe, this is the Poneglyph. This is the first time I've ever been this close to it."

“Haven’t you lived for over ninety years?” Kuzan glanced at him.

“But I’ve been drifting in the fog all this time, how could I have ever seen something like this?” Brooke said, tears welling up in her eyes.

After Luffy completes his voyage and becomes the Pirate King, they will go to pick up Laboon.

The day we promised to fulfill is getting closer and closer!

......

But in Zou.

In the heart of town, after hearing that Jack had been defeated and would not be returning, a grand banquet had begun.

The Mink Tribe is a stubborn race; they do whatever their leader says. So when they heard that they had formed an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates, they automatically considered themselves allies of the Straw Hat Pirates.

They now have a unified goal.

Most of the furry tribe are large carnivorous animals, such as Perodua and Sicilian, but there are also herbivorous rabbits like Garrot.

The former is more ferocious and admires strength.

The latter is more moderate and yearns for peace.

This was fully demonstrated at the banquet.

Luffy, naturally unable to refuse the banquet, sat on a huge tree stump, holding a huge leg of meat in each hand, gnawing on it with his mouth full of oil.

"Mmm! Not bad, this is delicious! That's delicious too! How come all the meat from the Mink Tribe tastes so good!"

"Actually, carrots are good too."

Carrot came over, holding a big handful of carrots. "Luffy, do you want to try some? It's really delicious!"

"No, vegetables won't fill my stomach."

"But carrots are really delicious!"

"Then eat more."

Carrot took a bite of carrot with a pitiful expression, but her eyes remained fixed on the meat leg in Luffy's hand.

She couldn't help but swallow.

Is meat really that delicious?

Wanda, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. "Carrot, if you want meat, just go get some. There's plenty at the banquet."

"But, but I'm a rabbit."

Carrot's ears drooped in frustration. "Shouldn't rabbits eat carrots?"

"Who says rabbits can't eat meat?"

Perod rolled his eyes. "You're a mink, not a real rabbit."

Carrot's eyes lit up, and she skipped off to get the meat.

Nami sat next to Luffy, holding a glass of juice, watching the lively banquet in front of her with a faint smile on her face.

"It's been so long since it's been this lively," she said softly.

Vivi joined in, holding a skewer of grilled fish. "Yeah, ever since we left Dressrosa, we've been on the go. It's rare to have a moment to relax like this."

"Is this what you call relaxing?"

Uta suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "A banquet really needs singing, why don't we hold a concert?"

As a result, Chopper, who was nearby, came over after smelling the aroma.

These patients are all incredibly troublesome!

Nekomamushi is like that, Inuarashi is like that, and Uta is like that too.

"Your concert,"

Nami's lips twitched as she recalled what happened in Eregia. "Let's just forget about it."

Uta puffed out her cheeks. "Nami, what do you mean by this?!"

"It doesn't mean anything."

"You clearly have it!"

"OK OK."

Vivi smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Uta, we'll support you whenever you want to hold a concert."

"Vivi is still the best!"

Uta hugged Vivi tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

Vivi's face flushed red instantly.

No, it's not.

"Haha, Vivi, your face is so red!"

Vivi's aggressive past, you dare to treat Luffy like that too!

Robin, standing nearby, watched this scene with a smile on his face, holding a glass of red wine.

Bai Xing huddled at the back, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Shirahoshi, why aren't you eating anything?" Perona floated over, holding a piece of cake in her hand.

Bai Xing whispered, "There are too many people, I'm not used to it."

And many of them were people I didn't know.

"What's there to be unaccustomed to!"

Perona grabbed Shirahoshi's hand. "Come on, I'll take you to get some food. The desserts here are delicious!"

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute..."

Zoro and Nika are already looking for the drunkard, it's a pity Kuzan didn't come, otherwise they could definitely wreak havoc.

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, is researching the Mink Tribe's specialty dishes with Frye.

"This spice is very interesting."

Sanji picked up a small pinch of powder, sniffed it, and said, "It's spicy with a hint of fruitiness, perfect for pairing with seafood."

Frye nodded. “Indeed, I’ve never seen this spice among the giants.”

"Would you like to try cooking one of my dishes?"

"Right on my mind!"

The two exchanged a smile and got to work.

Franky and Usopp huddled together, studying the architectural structures of the Mink Tribe.

“This way of supporting the load with wood is very interesting.” Franky pushed up his sunglasses. “If it were used in the renovation of the Sunny, it could increase the structural strength by at least 30 percent.”

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true! I'm a genius shipwright!"

Chopper was surrounded by a group of Mink children who were incredibly curious about him and kept reaching out to touch his antlers.

The Human Fruit, in the form of ordinary people?

If you didn't know better, you'd think Chopper was from the Mink Tribe.

"It's so soft!"

"So cute!"

What kind of animal is this?

Although Chopper said he wasn't cute at all, his body betrayed him by wriggling around.

As the captain, Luffy stood up, raising his wine glass. "Brothers, our first target is still the Big Mom Pirates."

He declared.

The hustle and bustle of the banquet quieted down a bit, and everyone's attention was focused on him.

The old lady's tea party is an opportunity, and Sanji's matter should be dealt with first.

Anyway, the old lady also has a historical text, so we can take hers first.

As one of the Four Emperors, the Big Mom Pirates had previously met with the executives on Fishman Island and were fairly familiar with each other, but this time they were going to the other party's territory.

"Hey, you lecherous cook, that's your engagement party! Shouldn't you be all lovey-dovey and ready to get married?" Zoro teased Sanji.

"Hmph, who knows what kind of person my marriage partner is?"

Sanji snorted.

He had met all of the older women's daughters.

Overall... the quality is questionable.

That's one aspect.

On the other hand, he has no relation to Germa66, so how could he allow the other party to get married in his name?

Whoever made the initial call should go.

What did Gaji talk about?

Let him marry that old lady!

“If you’re going to Whole Cake Island, I can help you,” Pedro said. “I’ve infiltrated Whole Cake Island before and have some understanding of its terrain and defensive layout. Although it’s been a few years, the general framework shouldn’t have changed.”

"Then there's no problem." Luffy grinned.
