Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 76 The Trial of the Ball
After passing through the long cloud road, the Crow Maru came to the river in front of the forest and continued to drive forward slowly.

"What a big forest..." Usopp looked at the green forest and said with emotion, "Is that the Island of God?"

"It's so big, is there such a big forest on the map?" Luffy asked curiously.

"This...there is a forest painted on it." Usopp took out the old map that was salvaged before and looked at it carefully, "but it doesn't seem so big in my impression, it's just an ordinary forest."

"Isn't the original owner of this map from 200 years ago?" Sanji looked at the thick trees that 50 people couldn't hug, and speculated, "Maybe it was an old map when they got it. , I want to know that these trees can't grow so big without thousands of years..."

"Hahaha~~~" Luffy looked at these trees excitedly, "It seems to be climbing~~~It's so interesting~~~"

"It's all right~~" Encore looked at the approaching forest entrance with glowing eyes, "don't you think the forest entrance is cute? The flames on the cow's skull, the strange clay sculptures on both sides of the river bank~~ "

From the entrance to the front, there are two strangely shaped torches on both sides. There are huge trees on both sides. The shore is full of boats that have been cut in half, and there are strange clay sculptures on the shore.

"Hahaha~~" Luffy looked at the entrance excitedly: "Here we are at the entrance, go forward~~"

The Crow Maru entered the entrance, looking up at the tall trees covering the sky and the sun, with eerie decorations on both sides.Usopp was already pale with fright, looking around tremblingly.Suddenly there was a 'rustling' sound in the forest, followed by a gloomy bird cry.Usopp screamed: "Ah!! There is something!!!"

"What a big fuss," Luffy said indifferently, "This is what the forest is like~~"

"Yeah~~" Encore and Sanji nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "That's right~~"

"No, no, no..." Usopp pointed to the broken ships on both sides of the river and said, "Look carefully around, these are all ship wrecks!! And no matter which one is split in half ..."

Luffy said indifferently: "The forest is like this~~"

"Yeah~~" Encore and Sanji nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "That's right~~"

"Ah!" Anke suddenly exclaimed, and Usopp immediately looked at Enke who seemed to be his bosom friend with emotion: "Enke!! You also think it's weird, don't you?"

"No..." Anke looked at the short dress on her body and said, "It seems inconvenient for me to run in the forest dressed like this, and I forgot to bring my camera. A memorable scene..."

"..." Usopp lowered his head in complete despair: "The ship is all split..."

"Don't worry," Anke stood up and pulled out Chiyue and untied the crystal, "The 'split' you said is coming~~"

The sound of 'rustle' was heard again in the forest, and Sanji also stood up vigilantly and said, "Something is coming!"

"Full accelerator!! Row, row!!" Usopp took out a paddle from nowhere and rowed desperately: "Hurry up and let the boat move forward!!"

"What's the matter with you??" Luffy looked at the flustered Usopp strangely, and then a huge black scythe hung by iron chains flew out of the forest and passed the tail of the Crow Maru dangerously.

"It's a sickle monster!!!" Luffy lost his composure for a moment.Usopp also yelled with fangs: "Be careful!! There's another one coming later!!" Sanji yelled nervously: "It's not one!!"

"I chopped them all up," Anke chuckled, holding the gleaming Chiyue with both hands: "You guys are responsible for sailing the boat~"

"OK!!" Sanji, who didn't know where to copy an oar, also rowed desperately.Luffy is also holding the steering wheel nervously.

"Front!! Encore!!!" Usopp screamed as he watched the huge scythe flying towards them.

"I see, calm down..." An Ke quickly ran to the front and quietly waved Chi Yue a few times.Luffy laughed excitedly watching the scythe that had been chopped into several pieces fall around the Crow Maru: "Hahaha!! Come on, Encore!!"

"Little cutie, this time it's in all directions!" Sanji, who was rowing, saw the scythe flying towards them, and the smoke in his mouth fell to the ground.Usopp hugged his head and screamed: "Ah!! I can't escape this time!!!"

"Hahaha!! Come on encore~~~" Luffy, who was still not worried, laughed happily, and even comforted the panicked Sanji and Usopp: "It's okay, it's okay~~~~The forest is like this~~ "

"Steer the boat a little bit~Captain~~" Anke just chuckled, his legs turned into crystals and kept rising to the roof of the Crow Maru before stopping.Breathing out softly, Anke closed his eyes and the surroundings seemed to be quiet. He held the red moon in both hands and spun around gracefully.

"..." Watching the roaring huge scythe shatter in the whirling red blade wind, both Sanji and Usopp's jaws hit the ground.Luffy was still laughing: "Hahahaha!! It feels really cool to sail on the empty river~~~"

"Do you still have time to be dazed? Sanji, Usopp," Anke, who returned to the boat, looked at the two people who were stunned and said, "The next wave of attacks is coming!"

"What???" Sanji came back to his senses and suddenly looked up at the thick wooden arrow shot out from the depths of the forest. "Is it an arrow this time?" Saying that, he immediately kicked the wooden arrow that shot into the boat fly.

"Ah! I want to fly these things too!! Usopp, come and drive the boat!" Luffy, who was bored as the boat drove, pulled Usopp who was stunned to the driver's seat, stretched his hands and grabbed the two After the wooden arrow twisted its body into a spiral, it quickly released and continued to rotate, "Rubber rubber-windmill!!"

After leaving the arrow rain, Sanji heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at the wooden arrows that kept flying down: "Finally passed the level..."

"But there is still ahead~" Anke pointed to the 5-meter-diameter round knife that flew over quickly, "Usopp, left!"

"OK!" Although Usopp was sweating nervously, he accurately steered the boat aside to avoid the knife.The remaining three watched the knife whizzing by and then flew back.

"It's back again!!" Lu Fei waved his hands and shouted: "Move quickly!!!"

"Ah!! How many lives are not enough in such a ghostly place!!" Usopp screamed while driving the boat: "No matter what you say, I have to go back!!!"

Encore grabbed the airbag to stabilize himself, still smiled and said: "It's too late, Usopp, we are already far away from the exit~~"

"Damn it! This nasty guy. I'll take care of him!!" Luffy turned his arms and looked at the flying knife in displeasure, "Rubber rubber..."

"Let's go! Luffy!!" Encore and Sanji cheered loudly, but found a certain captain standing there blankly and said: "Unexpected..."

An Ke smiled helplessly, ran to Lu Fei's side, took Chi Yue with a wave, and chopped the revolving knife in half.Sanji looked helplessly at the captain who lost the chain at the critical moment: "Really, I couldn't think of any moves to use at that time..."

"I want to go back..." Usopp murmured to himself with tears in his eyes.Lu Fei said lightly: "Why don't you get off the boat now?"

"Idiot!! I'm going to die!!" Usopp immediately shouted energetically.

"Well, it will indeed die," Anke looked at the 'earthworm' that was biting towards them with a mouth full of sharp teeth in front of him and said: "But why do 'earthworms' live in water??"

Sanji stepped on the wooden plank and jumped up, kicked the 'earthworm' which was nearly ten meters away, and returned to the boat smilingly said: "Little cutie, that's a sea lamprey, or an empty lamprey, right? If the blood is sucked by that thing, it will be strange if you don't die..."

"Can't eat it??" Lu Fei watched the thing fall into the sea, and said with a flat mouth: "If you can't eat it, forget it..."

"Is this one of those trials?" Anke, who was sitting cross-legged on a wooden plank holding Chiyue sealed in crystal, tilted his head and said, "It looks a bit boring..."

"Anyway, this road to the canal should not stay for a long time..." After seeing nothing flying out, Sanji sat down on the airbag and bit his cigarette in a relaxed manner and said, "Anyway, get out of here quickly."

"But we just came in~~" Luffy looked excitedly at the surrounding trees, "This forest looks so fun~~~"

"How can it be fun!" Usopp kept stepping on the accelerator, turned his head and yelled at Luffy: "Anyway, get out of here first!! Get out!!!"

..................................................................

"Oh... how many is this..." Usopp, who was in charge of sailing, sighed helplessly, looked at the 'earthworm' with his mouth wide open in front of him, and said, "Is there any end..."

After Sanji kicked it away as usual, he sat on the boat with ease, "It's not like just now it's arrows and knives, it's much more relaxed~"

"This is just the beginning~" Luffy leaned on the airbag and said with a smile: "Did you forget that there is something interesting waiting for us?"

"I don't think those things just now are considered trials. The attack on the Angel Island pier just now should not be able to survive the attack. The real trial should not be so simple." Sanji thought for a while and said: "And, if it is true As cutie said, cutie should be able to sense where the god of thunder and lightning is before he comes out. Even after he comes out, only Luffy and cutie can deal with him in the boat, which is a bit trouble."

"Don't worry, there is no overly powerful aura on this island now, only the more powerful guys who appeared near Nami a few times are here. It should be the four priests," Anke tilted his head and smiled softly, "Usually The bosses all appeared at the end~ Now I just hope that this god will not be so weird."

"So, are Nami-san and Robin-chan okay?" Sanji asked worriedly.

"It's okay, but the breath is starting to separate," Encore said after pausing for a while: "Chopper stays where he is, and the others should take risks. Don't worry, didn't you say that those priests will only stare at us?"

"It's okay, it's okay~~~ Chopper is very powerful~ and Zoro also followed them on an adventure~~" After Luffy said this with a smile, he looked at the front of the ship in amazement and said, "Next time try Is Lian a giant? Such a big face..."

Sanji glanced at it and said, "No, it's just a stone statue."

"There are four entrances there, they should lead to different places," Usopp squinted his eyes carefully and said, "The trial of the swamp, the trial of iron, the trial of the rope and the trial of the ball, Four trials, which one should I choose?"

"What does that god want to play with us?" Sanji looked at the four entrances impatiently.

"Anyway, in the end, we have to defeat all the priests. Now it's just a matter of order," Anke tilted his head and looked at the curious Luffy and said, "In this case, the choice is left to the captain~~"

"Okay! Let's choose the ball! The ball!!" Luffy said without hesitation, pointing to the wicket of the trial of the ball, "Because it looks fun~~~"

"But...but..." Usopp kept trembling, and finally steered the boat to the small gate of the trial of the ball: "Well, since that's the case, let's follow Luffy's intuition this time... ..."

"Since you have chosen, don't regret it," Sanji looked at the small door lightly, "After all, this is the kingdom of gods with a height of 1 meters, and anything can happen..."

In the dark door, at the end of the long passage, a faint white light can be seen at the exit.Usopp, who was in charge of driving the boat, had already closed his eyes tightly in fear, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Hey, helmsman, don't close your eyes..." Sanji looked at Usopp's frightened look with a funny face,

Usopp barely opened his eyes and looked around and said, "Even if you open it, it's still dark!!"

"Keep open, helmsman," Encore looked at Usopp with the same smile and said, "Isn't there a little white spot at the end?"

"By the way, it should be that one," Lu Fei suddenly realized with a smile and said, "Aren't there four entrances? Only one is right, and the other doors are all wrong..."

"What?? Why are you saying it now?? What if you guess wrong??" Usopp, who had been looking at the front, turned his head and yelled instantly.

"I guessed wrong, let me think about it..." Luffy thought hard and said with a smile, "Probably fell off the empty island!"

"Stop talking nonsense!! It's okay to fall!!" Usopp continued to yell unsteadily: "This is an altitude of [-] meters from Qinghai!! Just the time of falling to the ground can look back on life several times!! If you want to fall, don't fall here!!"

"Stop talking idiots, how could you..." Sanji, who was surrounded unknowingly, said lightly.Anke, who also surrounded him, also smiled and said, "That's right~~ and there is someone's breath below..."

Just when everyone was discussing whether they would fall or not, the boat had unknowingly left the exit, and the blinding light for a moment made it impossible for them to see what was outside, but the feeling of flying, the lack of gravity The feeling, the feeling of falling down is so real.Everyone glanced at each other in a daze, and all screamed in an instant.
"Ah!!!!!! Don't!!!"

..................................................................

After the Crow Maru fell from a high altitude, it hit the Yunhe River below, causing waves as high as several meters, and then continued to move forward slowly.Usopp had already fainted from fright, and Anke's face turned pale: "Sure enough, it came true as soon as I finished speaking. This kind of blow is really heart-palpitating..."

"Hahaha!! I thought I was going to die!! Hahahaha!!" The culprit kept laughing.Sanji kept kicking his head and yelling, "It's not your crow's fault!! Luffy!!!"

Relieved, Enke didn't care about their uproar, looked at the forest in front of him and said, "Luffy, Sanji, calm down now. We've arrived, the trial of the ball..."

Sanji, who had vented a lot, looked at Usopp, whose face was full of tears or other liquids, with a cigarette in his mouth, and took him directly to the back to drive the boat by himself.The Crow Maru slowly moved along the Yunhe River straddling tall trees. Countless white balls floating in the air gradually appeared on both sides of the Yunhe River. The smallest one was as big as a football, and the largest one was as wide as 1 meter in diameter.

"By the way, what exactly is this?" Sanji looked at the surrounding balls, frowning, "Is it a small island cloud?"

"Trial of the Ball~~Ball~~" Luffy took it for granted, and then started laughing: "Hahahaha, that's great, it looks like a big snowball~~It's so strange here~~It's so fun~~"

"Is this the trial of the ball?" Encore glanced at Usopp, who was still in a coma, before smiling and staring at a large ball with a diameter of 1 meter that was constantly rotating above.

"By the way, have we won the grand prize?" Luffy said excitedly as if he had figured it out suddenly, "Maybe if we choose another door, we would have hung up by now~~"

"Really...really...really??" Usopp looked around tremblingly after hearing this and said, "This... seems to be very safe here..."

"Idiot! How can anyone punish criminals and prepare big prizes?" Sanji steered the boat cautiously, "In short, we need to be careful, we don't know when that priest will come out..."

"Hahahaha!!!" Luffy, who didn't listen carefully to what Sanji said, had already started tossing a big white ball with the fully recovered Usopp.

Sanji burst out several crosses.Encore, who was still staring at the big ball leisurely, smiled and said to the people on board: "Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, listen carefully, I will not help you this time unless something happens. What an accident. Nami and the others are safe now, you can deal with the enemy this time with peace of mind. After all, it is better to have more combat experience..."

"Enke/Little cutie, do you know where that person is?" Luffy and the three looked at Enke who was leisurely holding the knife with one voice.

Anke nodded slightly, then pointed to the ball in Usopp's hand and said, "Usopp, I advise you to throw that ball away earlier. Because there is a long creature inside, probably a snake... "

"What??" Usopp's eyes popped out when he heard this sentence, and he quickly threw the ball in his hand like a hot potato.The moment it was just thrown out, a snake head with its mouth open suddenly protruded from the ball, Usopp immediately screamed, and Luffy on the side punched the big ball flying.

"Huh...huh..." Usopp squatted on the wooden board and wept wide-band tears in fear, muttering to himself: "Sky Island is so scary...Sky Island is so scary..."

At this time, a big ball flew in front of Sanji who was sailing. Sanji frowned and said, "So these floating balls are all snake nests?" Then he stood up and kicked it.As soon as he touched the ball, the ball immediately flashed violently. After a loud bang, Sanji kept kicking in silence, watching the black smoke slowly dissipating across the crystal wall in front of him.

Anke retracted the crystal wall with a smile, and said calmly: "Sanji, don't jump to conclusions before you have thoroughly figured out the details of the enemy. In a real battle, even a single gap is not allowed to be exposed. You just now A little sloppy."

Sanji lowered his head and retracted his foot, silently smoking a cigarette.Usopp was already yelling in fright: "Ah!! What the hell is going on with these balls???"

"Ha, ha, ha~~~" The forest suddenly echoed the slow laughter of a man, especially scary in the gloomy forest, "I just don't know what will appear to be afraid~~".

The big ball that Anke had been staring at slowly landed near the Yunhe River. Its height was just about the same as that of the Crow Maru. The man with long red hair and a yellow hat and yellow glasses sitting on it was walking slowly. He said, "This is called Surprise Cloud! Haha~~"

"What is this big meatball for..." Luffy and the three of them looked at the big meatball tacitly with a drop of cold sweat, and then Sanji stopped the Crowball vigilantly.And Anke, who knew his existence all along, just tilted his head and pretended to be innocent and cute, but he refused to pretend to be very powerful, although the man probably already knew what happened just now.

"You chose the trial of the ball, it's a good choice~~ha, ha, ha~~~" The big meatball stood up and kept jumping up and down on the big ball, smiling strangely at the same time.

"You are the trial of the ball?? The ball??" Luffy stared at the man who didn't look good at all in surprise, and Sanji, who recovered from his senses, yelled with fangs unsteadily: "Don't dance Alright!! Who the hell are you!!!"

"Ha, ha, ha~~~ My ugly words are ahead~ If you can't beat me, it is absolutely impossible to go any further~~" The big meatball kept jumping, and then suddenly stepped on the big ball under his feet towards the road Fly their ship over here.

"Luffy!! He's coming! Hit him!!!" Usopp yelled at him.Luffy also turned his arms in understanding: "I know! Rubber rubber-gun!!"

"So it will stretch..." Before Luffy punched, Big Meatball said softly and then leaned to one side, just avoiding Luffy's punch.The big meatball who came to Luffy laughed and put his left hand with the orange glove on Luffy's face. Then with a 'bang', Luffy bounced off and hit the big tree by the river. , and even broke a crack.Although he felt sorry for Luffy being beaten, Enke still didn't help him. After all, it is impossible to make people stronger without going through actual pain.

"Luffy!!!" Usopp looked worriedly at Luffy who was stuck on the tree and shouted: "Luffy!! Are you okay, ordinary blows are okay for you??"

"Strike?" The big meatball looked at his gloved hands and said with a smile, "This is a little different from ordinary blows~~"

"Hmph! What's the difference??" Sanji looked at Luffy, and immediately kicked the big meatball on the boat: "Neck meat..."

"Kick with the upper part of the right foot..." After watching Sanji's movement, the big meatball moved lightly to the side again and easily dodged Sanji's attack again, and immediately pressed his right hand on Sanji's body: "Only practitioners Only then will you have the ability, Xinwang..."

With a "bang", Sanji was also hit out like Luffy, and flew to where Luffy was.

"Sanji!!!" Usopp lay on the boat with his back facing the big meatball, and worriedly shouted at Sanji: "Are you okay?".

"This is not a blow~~" Big Meatball took advantage of this moment to put his hand on Usopp's back: "It's an impact..."

Encore, who watched them being easily beaten into the air, let out a sigh of relief and said, "Turning your back to the enemy is the biggest taboo, don't you even understand this, Usopp?"

"Next is you, little baby~ha, ha, ha~~~" Big Rouwan stretched out his hand to Encore, but Encore easily dodged it.Anke looked at the big meatball with a smile on his face: "The so-called Xinwang is just a power similar to knowledge-colored domineering. Although I have spent more time in practicing domineering than in actual combat, if I am more domineering than knowledge-colored domineering, I will I won't lose to this ball, after all, it was that naval hero who taught me domineering! '

"Ha, ha, ha~~~" The big meatball jumped back vigilantly away from the Encore, waved his hands and said, "I did not misread it just now, it was you, the little doll, who told the ball in advance that there was space in it." Snake? Are you also a person with a heart net?"

"What heart net? I don't know what ability you are talking about~~" Anke hugged Chiyue and looked at the ball with a smile and said, "It's just that you will have a little problem if you treat me like an ordinary child." ~Master Priest~~"

"Ha, ha, ha~~~" Big Rouwan still smiled with confidence in his hands: "Assuming you also have Xinwang, but judging by your age, it is impossible to practice very well, I will definitely treat you like the person just now." Fly like that, ha, ha, ha~~~"

"Then, you can try it~" Anke tilted his head slightly and smiled sweetly at him, "Can you guess what my next move will be? God, official, big, human~"

"..." The big meatball slowly shed a drop of cold sweat, and then laughed: "Ha, ha, ha~~~ What an uncute little doll..."

Having no time to deal with this messy person, An Ke looked at Luffy who was rushing up with outstretched hands.

The big meatball also looked at Luffy and said, "Fly over with the outstretched hand and come up with a punch?? Ha, ha, ha~~~" Saying that, he accurately dodged Luffy's attack and jumped to On the big ball on one side.

"Damn it! He ran away again!" Luffy, who jumped onto the boat, withdrew his hand and gritted his teeth, looking at the big meatball that was easily standing on top of the ball and floating around, "By the way, who is this guy? The ball?"

"Ha, ha, ha~~~ My name is Dawu~~" The big meatball jumped up and down on the ball again, "I am one of the priests who serve the Almighty God-Anilu, and at the same time mastered this mystery. VIRS of the forest~"

"The Lost Forest??" Luffy looked at the boastful guy above him strangely.

"Yeah, it refers to this forest~~" The big meatball pointed to Encore on the boat and said, "After I throw that inexplicable kid on the boat like you, this boat will go along the canal of this forest." The road wandered around and finally exited the forest by the only exit. You also know that losing the shellfish is the same as losing the only way to the altar of living sacrifices. If you want to go out, stop me before I throw that imp Ha, ha, ha~~~" Immediately, the big meatball said a little more formally: "Welcome to the taboo holy land - the island of gods! Ha, ha, ha~~~ This is the forest of mysteries, the survival rate is 10% The trial of the ball~~”

"Whatever its survival rate is!!" Sanji said coldly from below: "What did he just say about throwing the cutie down? I will definitely kick him away!!"

"Hahahaha," Usopp, who heard the words of the big meatball, didn't care what his survival rate was, and immediately burst out laughing, covering his stomach, "throw... the encore down??? Hahaha!! If he does If you get it, you won’t be talking big up there! Hahaha!!”

"That's right, I'm in charge of guarding the ship today, it's impossible to snatch this ship from me with your ability, sir," An Ke narrowed his left eye slightly, and then pulled Luffy Hem of his clothes, and said to him who looked over: "Lu Fei~ You can definitely beat him! Come on~~"

"Ah! I will never let you be thrown down by him!" Luffy rushed towards the big meatball after turning his hand a few times: "Rubber rubber - bazooka!!".The big meatball still dodged easily, but Luffy continued to attack without giving up: "Rubber rubber-machine gun!!" The ball hit by Luffy kept hitting and flying around, and the forest was in chaos for a moment.

Making a crystal cage to put himself and the boat in it, the smiling Encore shouted to Sanji and Usopp below: "Come on!!! After all, you don't know what's inside those balls! !"

"Wow!!!" Sanji and Usopp below have been chased by the spinning ball and running around.Encore looked curiously at the ball that almost hit Sanji with sharp spears, then looked at the ball with several birds around Usopp, and thought in amazement: "I want to play too..." So A certain chick who wanted to do it just ran out of the boat surrounded by crystals and ran to a branch nearly 3 meters wide next to her. She took the red moon and poked a white ball floating next to it, and a white ball popped out suddenly. The red flower, Enke smiled happily: "I won the lottery~~ It's a beautiful flower~~~".

Hearing the continuous explosion and impacting 'bang bang' sound below, Enke, who was about to pick the flower, suddenly paused, his eyes froze, and he disappeared on the branch.Below, the big meatball is urging a lot of big balls to hit the three of Luffy who are bleeding and lying on the ground.The fierce flames slid past quietly, and the island cloud attacking Luffy and the others was vaporized, and the messy things inside were burned even more messily.An Ke held Chi Yue in front of Lu Fei and the others, with a sweet smile still on the corner of his mouth: "Can you pause for a while? God, official, master, man! If you don't want to die..."

The big meatball froze there suddenly, looking at the unpredictable girl, his face was slowly dripping with sweat.

"Use your so-called 'heart net' to know how many times I am stronger than you. I don't want to kill again, but if you don't listen to me obediently," the white little hand gently slid across the body of the Scarlet Demon Knife, beautifully Violet's pupils were full of smiles, with a cold smile: "I don't mind roasting you into roasted meatballs. Right, Chiyue~" Immediately, a ray of red light flashed across the Millennium Demon Sword, exuding an ominous atmosphere.The big meatballs are directly petrified there.

"Ahem..." The three guys behind had slowly got up.Usopp looked at the small figure in front of him and yelled instantly: "Ah!! Encore was thrown down!! The boat is gone!!"

"Shut up!!" Sanji immediately kicked Usopp to the ground, wiped the bloody fangs from the corner of his mouth and roared, "Throw your head!! Cutie is here to save us!!"

And Luffy, who was sitting on the ground, put on his hat, panted slightly and looked at the big meatball that had petrified there: "Enke, what did you do to him? It feels like the meatball has petrified."

"I don't know, anyway, the boat is safe now," Anke slowly retreated behind the three of them with Chiyue in his hand, and said with a chuckle, "Since they are all awake, please blow that ball away." Let's go, Luffy, Sanji, Usopp. Your words will definitely be fine~~"

"Ah," Luffy stood up and shrugged, looking expressionlessly at the priest who slowly woke up from petrification, "I will definitely beat him up!"

"...Ha, ha, ha, I was almost scared by you little doll. It seems that my practice is not enough~~" The big meatball took a few steps back and jumped onto a big ball in the air. a rope, and slowly pull the surrounding white balls into a 15-meter-long dragon, with a red dragon mask on the front white ball, "This ball dragon is composed of flame clouds and gunpowder clouds. If there is one, you will all be blown away~~~" Then he waved the rope in his hand and drove the dragon to rush towards Luffy and the others.

"Ah!!" Looking at the writhing dragon, Luffy, Sanji and Usopp immediately separated and ran away. Anke also jumped away from the place where the dragon was attacking, and stood on the branch of the nearby tree to look at the people below. scene.Suddenly Anke looked at the ground strangely. Although the ground was almost covered by the thick roots of the trees, the places that occasionally exposed were actually soil?Tilting his head strangely, Anke thought suspiciously: "Strange, since this is an empty island."Why is there soil? Looking carefully, isn't this island of gods just an ordinary island on the Qinghai Sea?Although the trees are surprisingly tall...'

"Huh?" Anke suddenly looked to the left, his face slightly vigilant, "A very powerful aura appeared from Chopper, but there was also a very powerful aura rushing towards Chopper.If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ganfort. If that's the case, don't worry about it for the time being.Put it aside for now...'

Suddenly, a black shadow carrying something ran up to the tree branch where Encore was, and then there was another violent explosion below. Encore, who retracted his doubts, looked up and found that on a big ball opposite, Luffy had already The wings holding the big meatball locked him firmly, the ball dragon had disappeared, and a big hole was blasted into the ground.

Encore looked at the people who ran up, and was not surprised that they were Sanji and Usopp who fell there rolling his eyes.

"Don't let go, Luffy," Sanji, who was sitting on the tree, said lightly, biting his cigarette, "Don't let that big ball go away."

"Ah, Sanji," Luffy said with a smile as he pressed the big meatball to block his head, "Are you still alive?"

"It's all your fault that almost cost me my life!!! Tell you to pay attention and don't listen to your surroundings!!" Sanji immediately yelled at Luffy, then calmed down, and calmly lit the cigarette in his mouth : "Forget it, meatball, listen up. Your mouth and mouth are all trials and trials. Frankly speaking, we don't know what it is. But we still accepted this meaningless bullshit trial... "

Luffy strangled Big Meatball's neck to make him listen carefully to Sanji's words.Enke on the side also smiled to see what meaningful words Sanji would say, but she forgot one thing, that is...

"...Because there are two weak girls on the boat waiting for me to rescue them, in other words," Sanji said meaningfully, biting a cigarette, "This is the 'Trial of Love'!"

"Is this guy an idiot too?? Let go of me immediately, you guys are too despicable!!!" The big meatball immediately struggled violently, but was tightly bound by Luffy's elongated hands and feet.

"You took other people's partners away without authorization, made the lovely angel cry and wanted to kill them, how can you call us despicable?" Sanji stood up slowly and kicked his shoes.

"Yes, that's right~~~" Luffy turned his head from behind the big meatball in front of him, looked at his cold sweaty face and said with a smile: "Although you can predict our movements, which is very powerful. But you can't hide If you lose it, even if you have the ability to predict, it’s useless~~ hee hee hee~~~”

Encore, who won the lottery again, picked off the flowers on the white ball and pushed the ball in front of Sanji. The cold-faced Sanji stood up without hesitation, and slowly moved to the big ball where Luffy and the big meatball were.

Seeing Sanji approaching with a dark face, the big meatball shook in panic and threatened loudly: "Idiot, stop it!! I am a priest who serves God!! Let me go! Do not accept the sanction of the priest in this country It is equivalent to a first-level crime! If you take action against me, it means declaring war on the Almighty God-Enel!!"

"Shut up, or the flavor will go away~ This is like trying to make pepper into the best saxifrage spice~" Sanji raised his hand gracefully and squatted down, taking the ball as food Come down: "The most important thing is to move big and have strong strength! Smash it completely without hesitation!! Only in this way can the superb flavor sealed in it be released!!" Then step on the white ball vigorously and jump up, When they huddled in a ball and twirled and fell, they kicked the big meatball that kept begging for mercy on the head: "Coarsely crushed!!"

After seeing that Sanji successfully kicked the guy he was holding, Luffy let go of him and let him fall down. He pulled Sanji directly and returned to the branch where Encore was standing.

Luffy smiled and compared scissorhands, "Encore~~won~~~~"

Sanji blew out a smoke ring, looked at Encore with a smile, and said, "This should be the knowledgeable arrogance that cutie just said. It is really tricky to predict the enemy's next move. It seems that the next priest should Will also have those abilities..."

"Oops!!" An Ke, who was still at ease, suddenly frowned, and carried Chi Yue back on her body.

"What happened, Encore?" Luffy, who was sitting on the tree branch, looked curiously at the nervous Encore, "Are you hungry?"

"There was an accident on Chopper's side, and the old man Ganfur who came to rescue him was also defeated. I have to go there now," Encore turned back and said to Luffy and the others, "I have released the crystal that bound the Crow Maru." Come here quickly by boat. There may be trials for the priests, but now that Chopper and the others are in danger, I will not stay by your side any longer, so be careful."

"I know! Go!" Luffy held down the straw hat and smiled brightly: "Leave the rest to me!"

"Another thing is that there are countless murderous people rushing into this island from outside, be absolutely careful," An Ke nodded towards them, and stepped on the crystal that appeared in the air and ran towards the depths of the forest go.

Sanji looked at Anke's leaving figure, and said slowly: "Why didn't cutie take us away? Chopper is in danger? Countless murderous people? What's going on?"

"Anke can only go quickly by herself. If we are together, it will only drag her down. Now we can only go there by boat." After looking at the secluded forest, Luffy suddenly rolled up the mountain with one hand Ji and Usopp, who was in a coma, grabbed a branch in the distance with the other hand and flew towards the Crow Maru, "Go back to the ship now, ah~~ah~~~~~~"

Hearing Luffy screaming like Tarzan, Sanji, who was caught by him, screamed before he had time to complain. After all, he was so angry that he wanted to kick Luffy to death by hitting the branches continuously.And Usopp, who was in a coma, was even more comatose because of this.
