Sins Of Pride On The Straw Hats

"I said, who are these guys?" Nami was still very concerned about Reka's phone call just now.

Logically speaking, it should be the first time Reka has entered the Great Navigation Route, so how could he know a certain name.

What are they called Dahl and Sand Crocodile? During the call, they could vaguely feel that the other party seemed to be an unusual guy.

"This is an opponent for Luffy and Zoro. As for the specifics, you should not know it yet. After all, it is a little bit happier now." Reka is afraid to say that Nami and Usopp will be worried all the way.

It might be easier for them to accept it when things get to that point.

"Adversary? Sounds good!" Luffy and Zoro Sanji suddenly showed anticipation.

"Are you crazy? We are enemies with Pakistan, and even a few lives are not enough!" Vivi saw that Reka underestimated the Bar Locke studio, and even regarded this as an opponent of other people.

Didn't he already know that the black hand behind this organization is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the sand crocodile, K Locke Dahl?

Why do you dare to be so rampant? Is it really a pirate from a small place with no eyesight at all?

"This is not something you two losers should care about."

"These guys are thugs from a nearby town, and they're after the meat of this whale, and if Laboon is caught, it's enough to feed the town for two years," Crocus replied.

"Laboon?" Nami asked curiously.

"It's the name of this whale. It's an island whale that only lives in West Blue. It's the largest whale in the world. How can it be used as food? The reason why this guy keeps crashing into the 21 continents of the red earth , and have been yelling towards the Upside Down Mountain, there is a reason for this.”

"what reason?"

"This guy is a whale with human emotions. It is just waiting for a certain group of pirates. It started fifty years ago..."

"One day, when I was guarding the lighthouse as usual, a group of brave pirates came down from the upside-down mountain and entered the Grand Line. They followed them, and there was a small whale, that was Laboon. Those pirates had been carrying Laboon traveled with them, but because sailing on the Grand Line is extremely dangerous, they originally planned to let Laboon stay in West Blue

"But Laboon followed secretly. The island whale is an animal that lives in groups with its companions. For Laboon, the group of pirates must be its companions."

"Because of the ship's failure, they stayed at Twin Point for several months, so I became good friends with them, and then, when it came time to depart..." Crocus said with great nostalgia.

He still has fond memories of Pirates playing with Laboon, sitting on it drinking and singing.

That is the sunset singing, the sea like wine, each has its own taste, it is fascinating...

On the day of sailing, the pirate captain said to him: "I like you very much, I want to ask you for everything, can I leave this guy with you for two or three years, we will definitely return after a week around the world here!"

After speaking to him, the captain also conveyed the meaning to Laboon: "Laboon, we are going to go to the Grand Line now, and go around the world, but you can wait for us here, it is a very dangerous place, We can't take you with us, it's nothing, three years will pass in a blink of an eye, don't forget, even if we part, we are still companions!"

Then, they set sail again, Laboon wanted to follow, but was stopped by Crocus, and could only look at their ship, disappearing into the sunset...

"That was fifty years ago."

"So, Laboon has been waiting for them for fifty years?!" This is already quite a long time for human beings!

Everyone was deeply moved when they heard this story. A whale, in order to abide by the agreement with its partners in the past, has been waiting here alone for fifty years.

This is something no human can do.

"That's why you keep yelling and hitting with your body, trying to get to the other side of the Red Line!" Nami felt sad.

After listening to the story, they returned with emotion, but they planned to leave the sore stomach first, lest the ship be melted.

"It's lucky that it has so many holes in its stomach and it's still alive!" Usopp looked around, and there were large and small doors in this stomach, which were all the roads leading to the whale's organs and the outside

Crocus had climbed to where he could open the great iron gate.

"Don't look at me like this, anyway, I'm also a doctor."

In other words, these are traces of treatment. "Usopp and others have basically reacted.

"That's right. After it grows to such a large size, it's no longer possible to treat it from the outside...it's about to open." Crocus shook the wheel, and the door slowly opened.

Going Merry suddenly drove out from the back of Laboon, and the fresh sea breeze rushed towards him.

"Come out, it's the real sky!" Luffy cheered happily with outstretched arms.

"But it's been fifty years? That group of pirates really made it wait for a long time!" Usopp and the others looked at the behemoth in front of them again, but this time, they didn't feel oppression and fear, only sadness sympathy.

"Idiot, this is the Grand Line, he must be dead, no matter how long he waits, he will never come back." Sanji smoked a cigarette, exposing this cruel fact.

"If I were to say fifty years ago, this place is even more chaotic than it is now, and it's an uninhabited and terrifying sea!" Nami has also heard the story of the Grand Line before.

"Why do you say these things that don't allow people to dream? It's still uncertain, maybe it will come back, what a touching story, I have always believed in the whale that I agreed with my companion, right, old man!" Usopp knows what a precious thing hope is.

Once the hope is shattered, that is the real despair, just like him, even if his father does not come back, but he has this hope in his heart, so he can live every day, looking forward to and looking forward to

Crocus stood at the gate, heard the words, and raised his glasses with his hands: "Yes, but the truth is cruel, I have received accurate information, they are dead, or escaped, and fled this Grand Line!"

"How? Did they leave this whale alone?" Usopp said angrily.

"Escaping from the Grand Line, that is to say, they passed the Calm Belt alive?" Nami felt a little unbelievable and disbelieving.

Calm Belt, that is the lair of the Sea Kings, how can it be so easy to escape.

The strongest person in the world may not be able to say 100% that he can survive from that kind of place!

"Even if they are still alive, they will never come back here again. This season, the weather, currents, and directions are all messed up. The sea area where all common sense does not apply. The horror of the Grand Line will soon occupy the hearts of vulnerable people!" Crocus said with emotion.

Over the years, no, from the past, when he was guarding this lighthouse, he had seen too many brave and good-looking pirates, and was finally scared out of his wits by the Grand Line.

"Are you saying that those people with weak hearts fled from this sea area without even fulfilling their promises in order to save their own lives?" Sanji said in a deep voice.

"Has this whale been abandoned? This guy has been waiting for fifty years! That's too much." Usopp thinks this behavior is too much.

Luffy was listening silently, even quieter than usual, so quiet that people couldn't feel his presence all of a sudden.

"Since you know the truth, why don't you tell it, isn't that whale able to understand human language?" Nami asked puzzled.

"I said it, said it all without reservation, but it didn't accept it at all, and that's when Laboon started yelling at the Upside Down Mountain and physically hitting the Red Line like it still believed they would It's like coming back from the other side of the rock!"

"What a whale that values ​​affection and righteousness, it has obviously lost the meaning of waiting." Sanji said with emotion, sometimes, family affection can't compare to this kind of affection!

Thinking of the father who raised him as a killing machine since childhood, Sanji sincerely envied Laboon's pure affection.

"It is because it is afraid of losing the meaning of waiting that it will not listen to what I say. Losing the meaning of waiting is the most terrible thing for it." Crocus can understand Laboon's behavior.

"But this guy is indeed pitiful, but you must have been betrayed." Sanji took a puff of smoke, because he was waiting along with him.

"Ah!!" And at this moment, they suddenly heard Luffy's roar at 510 in the morning.

"What is that idiot doing?"

"Have you started to enjoy the fun of mountain climbing without paying attention? Wait a minute, what is he holding in his hand!"

"It's the mast, it's the main mast of the Meili!!"

"Idiot Captain, don't destroy the ship!"

"Rubber rubber!! Flower arrangement!!" Luffy hugged the broken mast, swung it suddenly, and inserted it into the crack of the whale's scar, blood splashed immediately.

After this insertion, even Laboon couldn't stand the pain, tears rolled in his eyes, and he suddenly roared maniacally!

"What did you do!!" Nami, Zoro and others immediately turned into demon faces.

Is your own captain a devil? The whale is so pitiful, and it hurts to look at its wound with a mast!

"So that's it. In this kind of matter, only our stupid captain has this kind of emotional intelligence and awareness." Reka understood.

The stimulated Laboon immediately jumped up high, hitting the enemy on his head directly into the Red Line!

"Oops!" Crocus horrified.

"Don't worry, our captain won't die even if he gets crushed, but what does he want to do!"

"Hey, idiot!" Luffy continued provocatively, and directly hit Laboon's eyeball with a rubber fist, which made Laboon go crazy again, and directly knocked Luffy out who had just got up.

Luffy fought back, kicked hard, and was pulled back by Laboon!

Luffy attacked again, Laboon counterattacked again, and Luffy was jacked up again.

After several attacks, the two sides fought back and forth, and Laboon was also irritated.

Just when Laboon was about to launch the next attack, Luffy said: "A draw!"

Laboon stopped when he heard the words, and was stunned!

Luffy smiled confidently: "I'm strong, you want to beat me, we haven't decided the winner yet, so we have to keep fighting, even though your partner died and escaped, I will always be yours Opponent, we have to fight again to decide who is stronger, after we circle the Grand Line for a week, we will come to you again, and then let's fight again!"
