97: Chapter 96: Long Chain Island! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Destroy the [Foxey Pirates]!By the evening of that day, the Straw Hat Pirates finally arrived at the waters near Long Chain Island.
During the voyage, the Golden Merry encountered the sea monkeys living in the waters near the Long Chain Island, just like in the original story.
They are a group of strange creatures that are comparable in size to marine creatures.Although they are marine creatures, they have monkey-like heads and fish-like bodies, and they particularly like to play pranks.
However, the Straw Hat Pirates at this moment are completely different from the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work.A mere [Sea Monkey] naturally cannot pose any threat.
This group of [Sea Monkeys] created a huge wave, but just as they emerged, they were frightened by the domineering aura released by Sanji who popped his head out of the kitchen:
"Go play somewhere else!You bunch of beasts!If you show up again, I'll eat you up!"
After saying this, Sanji showed the shiny kitchen knife in his hand.
The group of sea monkeys immediately fled in all directions: I won't bother you, I'm leaving.
"Well, it's calm.It seems that Long Chain Island is a good place to rest."
Luffy said as he looked at the horizon of the Long Chain Island.
"Huh—finally, things have calmed down.If these weird creatures attack us again, I'll strike them with lightning!"
Nami breathed a sigh of relief, but the crackling lightning in her hands could not be ignored.
The huge waves raised by the Sea Kings were blasted through by Luffy's punch, and he had to admit that in this ocean, the Sea Kings were at the top of the food chain.If there were no restrictions at all, the Sea Kings would have dominated the ocean long ago.
The Straw Hat Pirates moored the Merry at the port of Long Chain Island and disembarked one by one.
"Ohhh!The endless prairie!It's so refreshing!"
Usopp was the first to step onto the land of Long Chain Island and couldn't help but sigh.
The Long Chain Island is composed of ten small islands arranged in a circle.It is named because its overall shape resembles a long chain.There are many strange creatures on the island.
Along the way, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered all kinds of long creatures on the island.This sea is really full of wonders.
Luffy picked up a branch and said vaguely:
"Long Chain Island, perhaps due to its strange geographical factors, the creatures on Long Chain Island are all particularly "long", such as this super long dog, the tall bear, and the long deer."
Luffy pointed to the dog not far away that was as long and scraggly-looking as in the original story and continued:
"We're just here to rest, so there's no need to worry about those strange creatures.Let's just maintain the ecological environment here!"
Everyone responded and set up their tents on the spot.
At the bonfire party hosted by Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates had dinner, counted the stars, and fell asleep.
The night passed peacefully with the magical creatures of Long Chain Island, and nothing happened.
The next morning, the Straw Hat Pirates woke up one after another and started their journey on the Long Chain Island.
"It's just a relaxing stroll.There shouldn't be any danger on this island, right?"
Chopper started talking to the long animals on the island.
"This island is rarely visited, and there are no signs of human activity.Shouldn't there be anyone on this island?"
Weiwei also relaxed.
"That's not necessarily true!Everyone knows this now, but it's said that the indigenous people on this island are normal.When the tide recedes and connects the long chain of islands, the islanders will begin to migrate."
Luffy is in the right place.
"The Grand Line is truly full of wonders!"
Ajin sighed.
At this moment, two bamboo poles moved towards the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Huh?What is this?A moving bamboo pole?"
Chopper finished his conversation with the magical creatures on the island and poked the two bamboo poles curiously.
Zoro was the first to notice something was wrong:
"Chopper, get out of here!That thing's not right!"
When Chopper heard this, he jumped away immediately.
Luffy also noticed the commotion here at Chopper's place.He caught a glimpse of the two moving bamboo poles and immediately remembered the old man in the original book who had been walking on stilts for ten years without getting down.
If Zoro had drawn his sword and slashed down, the old man would have turned into ashes.
"Wait!Zoro, don't do anything yet!There's someone up there!"
After Luffy finished speaking, he displayed his Observation Haki, flew high into the sky with a [Instant Step], and brought the old man down.
"Oh my, thank you so much!My name is Dongjit, and I've been on these stilts for ten years!I'm afraid of heights!If it weren't for you, I would have died of old age in the sky."
The old man named Dongjit touched his head awkwardly.
"How can there be such a stupid person!" Nami held her forehead helplessly.
"Oh!Shirley!My Shirley!Are you still waiting for me to come home on this island?"
Dongjit's eyes lit up, and he ran to the white horse that was resting in the distance.Dongjit hugged the white horse and started crying, and the white horse neighed in response.
The Straw Hat Pirates: "."
Just as everyone was speechless at the reunion of old man Dongjit and Baima Shirley, a gunshot was suddenly heard in the distance.
Chopper's whole body tensed up immediately, and he quickly used his Observation Haki to investigate the situation.This was the instinct of an animal - to seek benefits and avoid harm!
Luffy smiled lightly:
"Let's go!Looks like someone doesn't want us to have a peaceful vacation, so let's go check out what's going on!"
Seeing Luffy's relaxed tone, the Straw Hat Pirates knew they were unlikely to encounter any strong enemies, so they all followed Luffy with brisk steps.
In the distance, the sign of David's Battle was shining.This was a game unique to pirates, but the Straw Hat Pirates were not interested in playing this kind of pirate game.
Luffy recalled what the Silver Fox Foxy did in the original work, and turned to Chopper and said:
"Chopper, didn't Vice Admiral Jonathan give us a Den Den Mushi before?Now use the Den Den Mushi to contact Vice Admiral Jonathan of the G8 branch and have them prepare to come and clean up the mess."
Chopper almost didn't react:
"Eh?Eh?Eh?Luffy, you don't want to play this David Contest?Is this a game?So sloppy?
Zoro chimed in:
"This isn't a fun game.I've heard of this kind of thing before, but I'll find out the details later.
It seems that the captain is planning to clean this place up?"
Luffy nodded:
"Since we have all chosen to stand on the side of justice and are also planning to accept the appointment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the Navy King, then the many pirates who have committed crimes here can be packed up and sent to the Navy as a small gift!"
Chopper nodded when he heard that and quickly contacted the G8 branch using Lieutenant General Jonathan's Den Den Mushi.
At this moment, a man with red nose suddenly approached the Straw Hat Pirates with a laugh:
"Hahahaha!Come play a game with us!The loser."
Luffy interrupted this weirdo without mercy:
"[Silver Fox] Foxy, do you think we look like pirates?If we were pirates doing good deeds, we could ignore them, but if we were pirates doing evil, do you think we would play this kind of boring game with you?"
[Silver Fox] Foxy still had no idea what was happening:
"Eh?Eh?You actually refused?This is."
Luffy, of course, disdained to play house with them.The original novel even described this nonsensical game vividly.He interrupted Foxy again:
"Nami, Thunder Fall, just don't kill them all directly."
Luffy whispered, and then released his domineering aura that swept across thousands of troops, suppressing all the pirates here indiscriminately.Those who were still conscious could only enjoy Nami's thunder in a sober state.
Nami smiled grimly:
"497 pirates in total.So, how well-done would you like it?"
No pirates could react at all.After enduring the impact of Conqueror's Haki, the pirates who were already staggering were all struck by lightning and regretted their lives.
As a "human disaster", Nami was enough to leave them with an indelible fear.
Luffy was not interested in taking Foxy's [Slowness Fruit], so he knocked him out with a punch and threw him aside and tied him up.
After a while, Long Chain Island finally quieted down.
Luffy and his friends sat down on the spot, admiring the rare beauty of the Long Chain Island while waiting for the arrival of the navy.
At noon, Vice Admiral Jonathan arrived with several naval ships.
"Thank you very much!Mr.Luffy, I wish you to become the top of the Seven Warlords of the Sea soon!
This [Silver Fox] Foxy is very slippery, and our navy has been unable to capture him.The large pirate group with 497 members under his command has also caused us a lot of trouble.
Now, thanks to your help, these guys have finally been apprehended.I will definitely report this to headquarters.This is a great achievement."
Jonathan had heard the Straw Hat Pirates were powerful, but he hadn't imagined them to be that strong.Today, he finally saw it for himself.In less than a day, the massive pirate group, the Foxy Pirates, was annihilated.
Luffy waved his hand:
"No need to be polite, Lieutenant General Jonathan.They are yours.Destroy the evil, that is the way it should be."
"Thank you very much!"
Vice Admiral Jonathan was overjoyed, because what Luffy meant was that their G8 branch had a share of the credit for destroying the Foxy Pirates!
After that, the turmoil caused by the Foxy Pirates was calmed down, and the Straw Hat Pirates bid farewell to old man Toget and set out on their journey again.
