He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

So, when they set sail, they might be attacked by the island-eating goldfish?

This sounds a bit complicated.

Gu Xin remembered that the Island-Eating Goldfish was huge and named for feeding on islands; it was a powerful sea king.

However, in the original story, the two giants, the Blue Oni and the Red Oni, combined their attacks and blasted a hole into the Goldfish, killing it instantly. So, with Tyranitar by his side, he probably doesn't need to worry too much.

Alternatively, we could have Yixiao come and pick them up, then use "Heavenly Obstruction Star" on it; even if it doesn't die, it will escape.

This is the advantage of having strong partners; you have more confidence to act.

In contrast, Guxin was more concerned about the new gestational conditions that had appeared in his mind.

Judging from the speed, it will take about a month, so it's probably a Pokémon of the same level as Gardevoir and Gengar.

"Oh, is this the little garden?"

"It looks spectacular! And there's even an active volcano!"

Chopper tilted his head back, his big, round eyes gazing curiously at the island, filled with a desire to explore this mysterious place.

It grew up on the snow-covered Drum Island, where the temperature is minus ten degrees Celsius all year round, and its knowledge of volcanoes is limited to books.

Today is the first time it has seen a volcano in person.

"But this place is so big, why is it called Little Garden?"

Chopper was a little confused; it couldn't see anything wrong with the island being small.

Little Garden is anything but "small." The entire island is vast, mostly covered by dense primeval forests, with several active volcanoes and a circular lake in its center.

The most striking features are two enormous dinosaur skeletons, larger than volcanoes, which look incredibly imposing.

Due to the chaotic climate of the Grand Line and the lack of connection between the islands, various shapes and forms have developed.

It has a modern city like the City of Seven Waters.

There are also islands like the Little Garden, which remain in ancient times and have not continued to develop; therefore, they are also called "Ancient Islands".

Vivi took out a book by the explorer Louis Arnoud and read it aloud in a gentle tone: "Chopper, this place is called Little Garden because two giants lived here."

"To them, this island is as small as a garden, which is why it's called 'Little Garden'."

Because this voyage was planned in advance, Vivi specially collected books about the Little Garden, learning more about it than when she first arrived on the island in the original story.

"I see!" Chopper exclaimed in realization, then after a two-second silence, his eyes widened in surprise. He exclaimed in horror, "Huh?!"

"Are there giants here?!"

It has no idea about this.

"Are giants just people who are extremely large?"

Gu Xin said, "More or less, it's like magnifying a person countless times, um, most of them are as tall as small mountains."

"..." Chopper felt that it was more like a description of a monster, and he suddenly felt as if he had contracted a disease that prevented him from going to the island.

Gushin smiled and stroked Chopper's head through his hat: "Don't worry, we're here, we won't let the giants hurt you."

"Moreover, this is an ancient island, where many rare medicinal herbs grow. You might even find many herbs that have disappeared from the outside world. It would be a shame not to explore it."

"That's true." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and nodded his little head emphatically.

Fear came and went like a tide, and Chopper became interested in the island again because of Gushin's words.

The Little Gardens waterway is extensive and interconnected; in fact, the Bictini could be sailed into the interior of the island by following the river that flows into the sea.

But Gusin still chose to leave the Bictini ashore.

Because there are two giants on the island who fight all the time, and their battles are so earth-shattering, it would be bad if the Victini were affected. It would be safer to stay ashore.

It wasn't appropriate for the ship to be unattended, so after discussion, everyone decided that Van Augur and Lucky Egg would stay on the Bictini today.

From now on, the guards will be rotated daily.

No matter how far away, Gushin can receive the consciousness from Pokémon.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave a Pokémon on the ship to facilitate the transmission of information in times of emergency.

After arranging everything, Gushin, along with Chopper, Gardevoir, and Vivi riding Karoo, entered the vast rainforest.

The scenery in the rainforest is relatively monotonous.

Walking in such an environment, a person's sense of time and space is easily distorted unconsciously.

No matter how long you walk, the surrounding scenery will still give you a sense of déjà vu.

Here, every tree is larger than average, and you are surrounded by towering giant trees.

Lush branches and leaves hang in mid-air, weaving large nets above their heads to catch "people".

Because of the dense vegetation, only a few rays of sunlight can penetrate through the gaps and reach the ground directly, making the forest somewhat dim.

The ground was covered with tangled vines and dead leaves, and a trickle of water would occasionally flow by; there were countless such small rivers in the rainforest.

Gu Xin walked at the front, and any vines blocking his way would "consciously" move aside, clearing a path.

The longer he spent time with it, the more useful he found his superpowers to be.

Chopper looked around, carefully observing everything in the forest.

It might miss out on precious medicinal herbs if it's careless.

Chopper seemed to have discovered something, and approached the foot of a large tree where several round, yellowish-brown flowers were growing.

If I remember correctly, this should be an ancient medicinal herb that is very effective in treating external injuries. I have seen it in Kureha's medical books.

Chopper was overjoyed and squatted down to reach for it.

Gu Xin suddenly had a feeling, but after thinking about it again, he didn't rush to take action.

This island is home to a large number of ancient creatures that adhere to the cruel law of survival of the fittest, and danger is everywhere.

Tigers, leopards, Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and other ferocious creatures roam the land; these are just the visible dangers.

There are also hidden threats such as viruses and bacteria.

This is why the pirates couldn't stay here any longer and left Little Garden, even at great risk.

Leaving might offer a glimmer of hope.

Staying on this island will mean certain death soon!

Perhaps staying on this island for a month will allow Chopper, Vivi, and the others to hone their skills, which would be a good thing for them.

The current gap in strength between the entire team is too large.

The strongest is undoubtedly Ishtar, followed by him with Pokémon.

Then their strength fell into a gap.

Van Augur is in a tier of his own, while Vivi and Chopper are in another tier, so it's essential to help them improve quickly.

When Chopper touched the herb, a beetle about half the size of a human burst out of the soil beneath it, waving its pincers, which were half the size of its body, to crush its head.

Disguised as a crab-like insect!

This insect resembles a crab, is highly aggressive, and has evolved a pair of incredibly hard pincers, as well as the ability to camouflage itself to adapt to its environment.

Many people died under these iron clamps.

But Chopper won't be one of them.

"what!"

Chopper screamed in fright and instinctively used his Devil Fruit power, causing his body to swell up and transform him into a burly man.

He immediately unleashed a punch!

"Don't underestimate reindeer!"
