Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 283 Wow! What a huge elephant!

In a certain sea area of ​​the New World, a thin mist shrouded the sea like a veil, giving it an air of the unknown.

Suddenly, something seemed to change deep within the mist, and the outline of a colossal, sky-covering creature began to emerge.

As time goes by, the outline becomes clearer.

Finally, when this colossal object completely emerged from the mist, its appearance was fully revealed to the world.

But what appeared to be a colossal elephant of extraordinary size was that its four massive legs, like pillars supporting the sky, plunged straight into the deep sea. The sea level only reached a third of the height of its legs, as if this were not the ocean, but merely a small puddle.

This giant elephant has lived for countless years. Its gray-black skin is covered with deep wrinkles etched by thousands of years, as rough as weathered ancient rocks, like a living fossil that has come from ancient times.

The giant elephant's steps were slow and heavy. As its giant feet slowly rose from the deep sea, the surrounding sea surface instantly collapsed, creating a huge whirlpool and forming a terrifying marine disaster.

As the giant foot moved forward silently, the seawater was pushed aside with a roar, creating towering waves.

This is Elephant Zou, a giant elephant that has lived for at least a thousand years. It walks in the sea all year round, accompanied by perseverance and solitude, and its never-ending steps never seem to stop.

As the Dream Chaser docked at the shore of Thunder Island and everyone disembarked, an old woman, completely shrouded in a raincoat and holding a black umbrella, appeared out of nowhere. She revealed her missing yellow teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Welcome, guests from afar. I think you must need to buy some insulated umbrellas from me to avoid being struck by lightning."

As she spoke, the old woman raised her arm, gesturing to the insulated umbrella she was holding.

"Oh? How much does an insulated umbrella cost?" Nami asked with great interest.

"One million Berries, sir." The old woman looked up and smiled slightly.

Upon hearing the price, Nami's smile froze, her lips twitched, and she said irritably, "One million Berries? Are you robbing me?!"

Keep in mind that an ordinary umbrella costs only a few hundred dollars, and even the most extraordinary insulated umbrella will only cost a few thousand dollars at most.

Listen to this! This old woman actually quoted one million Berries for an umbrella! It's like a lion, no, a gluttonous beast asking for money. This behavior is even more hateful than robbery!

"This price isn't high, sir," the old woman said with a smile, completely at ease.

"You know, this island is extremely dangerous; you could be struck by lightning at any moment. An insulated umbrella can help you avoid that danger, meaning it can save your life. Don't you think it's a very worthwhile deal to buy your life for just one million?"

"Hearing you say that, it does seem a bit reasonable." Sanji listened from the side and felt that he was being persuaded.

"That's right. There are six of you guests, one, two, three... plus a pet. That's seven umbrellas, which is seven million Berries. I can give you a discount to round it up to ten million Berries," the old woman said with a smile.

???

Everyone looked puzzled. Even Wukong, who wasn't very good at math, knew that the price was completely wrong. How could it be even higher after a discount?!

"I've seen plenty of shady businessmen, but I've never seen one like you before." Nami covered her head and shook her head speechlessly.

The old woman didn't answer, but simply smiled and held out her hand, gesturing for the money to be given to her.

"No way! We're not buying this junk!" Nami waved her hand dismissively, looking disgusted.

The old woman withdrew her hand, still smiling: "You want to leave? Let me give you a piece of advice: the next island is quite a distance from here. If you don't replenish your supplies here, you won't be able to reach your next destination alive."

"Who said we're leaving? Of course we need to replenish our supplies here, but we don't need to buy your broken umbrellas!"

Nami snorted coldly.

"You see, mere lightning is nothing to me."

Nami suddenly raised her right hand, palm facing the sky, and to the old woman's astonishment, a blue beam of electricity shot up from her palm and disappeared into the clouds.

After a while, Nami withdrew her hand, as if she had dealt with a trivial matter, and said casually, "Alright, problem solved. Now no more lightning will strike our heads."

Then, she called to Wukong and the others, "Let's go! Let's hurry up and go buy some supplies."

The old woman watched them walk away unsuspectingly, yet no lightning struck them overhead. Finally, her smile vanished, and she stared in disbelief.

"What, what, what's going on?"

On the other side, after leaving the old woman's sight, Nami's relaxed expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly urged, "Hurry, hurry, let's quickly purchase the supplies and leave here as soon as possible."

"What's wrong, Nami?" Goku asked, puzzled. The others looked on in surprise as well.

Nami looked up at the sky and said with a serious expression, "This island is really dangerous. The lightning here is extremely violent and powerful. Although I can control it, I can only control it for a short time. So we need to leave here as soon as possible."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Nami-san, you can't even control it?" Sanji looked incredulous.

"If you, who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, can't completely control this lightning, then this place is really dangerous," Robin calmly analyzed.

"That's right, but I think it might be because I'm not strong enough. If I were stronger, I should be able to completely control the lightning here."

Nami nodded, then said with a hint of excitement, "This is a very advantageous fighting location for me. I feel like I can unleash ten times my strength here, maybe even more!"

"Ten times?" Wukong's eyes lit up when he heard those words.

"Nami, aren't you amazing now? Let's have a spar!" Goku said eagerly.

"Come on! Do you want to destroy this island completely?" Nami rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"If I were to control this power now, I would have no way of controlling it properly. The entire island would be wiped out, and it might even be completely destroyed by lightning."

Upon hearing about this terrible consequence, Goku gave up the idea of ​​sparring with Nami.

"Alright, let's spar again after Nami has fully mastered this power."

Knowing that Nami could only protect everyone from being struck by lightning for a short time, the group moved incredibly fast, quickly purchasing supplies on the island and then swiftly returning to the Dream Chaser.

"OK, we can go now. Let's head towards Zou!"

After sailing safely for six days through the perilous ocean, Wukong and his companions finally discovered something unusual ahead.

"What, what is that?!"

Sanji was leisurely smoking when he saw what appeared in front of him, and he froze instantly, his mouth wide open, not even realizing that the cigarette in his mouth had fallen out.

Wow!! What a huge elephant!!

Wukong's eyes widened, his mouth formed an "o" shape, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"How could such a creature exist in the world..." Nami was equally stunned, muttering to herself.

What appeared in their field of vision was a colossal elephant that blotted out the sky and whose size was impossible to discern from a distance.

Compared to their opponent, they were truly like ants, not even comparable to the opponent's fingernail.

Nami suddenly remembered something, took out the Life Paper Rayleigh had given her, and observed the direction it was drifting.

When Nami saw the Life Paper fluttering towards the giant elephant, she clutched her head in disbelief: "No way, the Life Paper is pointing to that giant elephant? Could it be... could it be that the so-called moving Zou refers to a giant elephant that can walk in the sea?!"

Everything seemed to make sense.

Why is Zou so hard to find? Because it's not an island at all, but a moving, living thing.

Nami tried to use her Observation Haki to investigate the giant elephant and the situation on it. If her guess was true, then the Mink Tribe should live on the giant elephant and could be detected by her.

But she failed, not because her detection abilities failed, but because they were too far away from the giant elephant. Although they could see the elephant, there was still a considerable distance between them, far beyond the range of Nami's Observation Haki.

Fortunately, although she couldn't confirm that the giant elephant was Zou, someone on the ship helped her confirm it.

"Zou is indeed a giant elephant, didn't you all know that?" Namur suddenly said.

"I don't know, this is our first time here, how would we know?" Nami shook her head, then asked, "Then Muir, have you been to Zou before?"

"No, but I heard Marco mention it," Namur said in a deep voice.

"Marco said that our Whitebeard Pirates once had two Mink crew members, but they and another person were later kidnapped by someone else. I joined too late to see them, but I heard their story from Marco and other old men."

"Kidnapped by someone? Who would dare to kidnap someone from the Whitebeard Pirates?" Nami and the others looked on curiously.

"I don't know about that. Marco said that Dad has always been very unhappy about this, so he didn't dare to mention it and told us not to ask."

Nami and the others felt their curiosity piqued and were itching to get out of their seats.

To be able to abduct someone from the world's strongest man, he must be a very famous guy. Considering that this happened before Namuer joined the Whitebeard Pirates, could it be the Pirate King Roger? Or Shiki the Golden Lion? Or some other great pirate who was once famous throughout the seas?

Although they came up with many characters, they couldn't confirm them and could only guess.

After confirming that the giant elephant was indeed Zou, they chased after it straight away.

Although the giant elephant kept walking, its pace was extremely slow. Given the distance and speed, it was difficult for them to catch up in a short time, but after relentlessly chasing it for half a day, they finally caught up with the giant elephant.

Upon closer inspection, they could no longer see the giant elephant in its entirety, but this up close view amplified the awe-inspiring scale of its massive size.

It's huge, absolutely huge!

They were positioned diagonally behind the giant elephant. From their angle, the elephant's legs looked like pillars supporting the sky in the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see, or rather, the end was shrouded in clouds, blocking their view.

They didn't know exactly how tall the giant elephant was, but they felt that it was probably almost as tall as the Red Earth, the world's largest continent.

It's hard to imagine how a creature of this size could live in the same world as them; giant elephants are completely out of place in this world!

"How do we secure the boat?" Nami pondered, stroking her chin as she looked at the giant elephant.

Unlike landing on an island, this time their landing wouldn't allow them to anchor their ships. The giant elephants were mobile, so they needed to find a way to make their ships follow them.

"Why don't we secure the ship to it? This giant elephant's skin looks very thick and tough; we can use it to secure the ship," Robin suggested, pointing to the elephant's thigh.

"It seems like this is the only way." Nami nodded.

Under her command, everyone got busy and quickly connected the Dream Chaser to the giant elephant's legs. When the giant elephant moved forward, the Dream Chaser would be pulled forward as well, so there was no need to worry about the ship being lost after they boarded.

"Now it's up to you, Goku. Use your Power Pole to send us up there," Nami said with a smile, clapping her hands.

"The magic staff? Is it that red stick?"

Namu pointed to the Power Pole on Goku's back. During the Marineford War, he had witnessed Goku use it to send himself and Ace off the execution platform, which left a deep impression on him.

"That's it! That's it!" Nami snapped her fingers.

Wukong took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff), had everyone grab it, and then shouted, "Grow longer, Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

With a whoosh, the Ruyi Cudgel carried the six people and one beast straight into the sky.

After some time, the Ruyi Cudgel disappeared into the clouds and then emerged from them again, but the top of the giant elephant was still nowhere to be seen.

Nami clicked her tongue in amazement.

Luckily, she didn't think of climbing up herself, otherwise she felt she would have been exhausted; this giant elephant was just too tall.

After some time, the top of the giant elephant finally appeared at the end.

As the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) surged to the end, everyone finally saw the scene on the back of the giant elephant.

Before them stretched an endless expanse of land, covered by boundless lush green forests with towering trees rising from the ground. The faint, melodious calls of birds could be heard emanating from the woods.

A moist breeze sweeps through the forest, stirring up layers of green waves, giving people a lush and vibrant scene.

Everyone was stunned.

This, this is the back of a giant elephant? How is this any different from a real island?
