I am brushing up materials in One Piece

A few days passed after Ace learned that the dinosaur might be chicken-flavored and his expectations plummeted...

"Hey! What do you think that is?"

Ace, who was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, pointed to something gray and white floating on the sea in front of him on the left.

Robin and Kos stopped translating and proofreading the historical text in their hands, and looked together in the direction Ace pointed.

"That animal must be a sea otter, right?"

Robin studied it for a while and came to a conclusion.

"It should be a sea otter. It looks so cute and adorable."

Kos nodded, but then frowned.

"I understand the logic, but why is this sea otter so big?"

"Is it big?"

Ace gestured with the viewfinder frame with both hands, and found that it could barely contain the sea otter and said,

"It doesn't feel very big."

"It does seem to be a bit bigger."

Robin also realized something was wrong. She estimated the distance to the sea otter and said,

"From visual inspection, I'm afraid it's about the same size as our ship."

"really?"

Ace still didn't quite believe it, but then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the sea otter seemed to have discovered the Gray Pearl and swam towards this side.

However, unlike Ace, who was waiting for the sea otter to swim over before getting closer to determine its size, Kos and Robin both had an ominous premonition.

"I remember the food habits of sea otters are..."

Robin spoke slowly.

"Carnivorous!"

Kos took Robin's words seriously, then looked at the ship at his feet and said with a wry smile,

"And that guy's staple food is shellfish. If he pries open the shell and eats the meat inside, don't you think that the ship carrying people and supplies looks like a wooden scallop?"

The images of the scallop and the Gray Pearl immediately appeared in Ace's mind, but there was no way to put the two together.

"looks like?"

"Don't worry about the resemblance, Ace, drive that guy away and don't let him get close to you!"

Kos commanded decisively when Ace was still confused.

Regardless of whether the sea otter is planning to knock the Gray Pearl into pieces for lunch, or just wants to join in the fun, it is never a good thing for such a large creature to approach the ship.

"Eh? Okay!"

Ace stood up reluctantly, his right hand burning with flames.

"fire punch--"

As a pillar of fire swept across the sea, the head of the sea otter swimming towards this side instantly burned.

The brightness and burning of the flames made it immediately turn around and dive into the water, swimming away with its blackened head.

After the sea otter swam away, Deuss deflected the recording pointer. After looking at the reset speed of the pointer, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "It looks like we are almost there."

"Also, although sea otters spend most of their time in the sea, their habitats are near the coast and will not appear in the open sea."

Robin nodded in agreement with Deus' statement.

So Ace's disappointment in driving away the sea otters was immediately swept away, replaced by expectations for an island inhabited by giants and dinosaurs.

Sure enough, not long after sailing, a huge island that was not a little bigger than Whiskey Mountain appeared directly in front of the Gray Pearl.

"That's the Ancient Island. It's really an incredible place!"

Robin put away the rubbings and translations of the historical text, then moved to the bow of the ship and sighed as he looked at the small garden that was getting closer.

"Dinosaur is really an exciting term."

When Cos saw the small garden, he immediately thought of "Jurassic Park", where the dinosaurs also lived on such an isolated island far away from the world.

Speaking of which, he was not able to experience the shock of the big screen in every movie in the "Jurassic Park" series, but now he can go directly to the island where dinosaurs live to experience it personally, which can be regarded as compensation. It's a bit of a pity.

"Wait a minute, why is the direction wrong?"

Kos noticed that the Gray Pearl's direction suddenly began to veer to the left, so he turned back to look at Deus at the helm.

I saw that Deus had left the rudder with both hands, holding a pen in one hand and holding a notebook in the other, obviously writing hard to record something.

After noticing the gaze directed by Kos, Deus smiled sheepishly, then put away his pen and notebook and corrected his course.

The process of approaching the small garden was very smooth, and I didn't encounter the huge goldfish-like island-eating monster. I don't know if it really only stayed on the east side of the island or if it was "come and never leave".

The structure of the small garden can be said to be similar to that of Whiskey Peak, and both are divided into two parts. However, the width and depth of the water area that divides the small garden into two parts is only the same as that of a river. Once a small ship like the Gray Pearl enters, it can basically occupy half of the river.

Looking at the various lush large ferns and other ancient vegetation that cannot be seen outside on both sides of the river bank, the people in the boat felt as if they had entered a different world.

The Gray Pearl docked at a spacious place in the river where the water flow was slow. Kos went down to the second-floor cabin and knocked on the door of Michal and Daz's room, asking them to get up and see the dinosaurs.

Then he went down to the warehouse to get the insect repellent prepared for the trip to the small garden, otherwise it would be in trouble if someone was unlucky enough to enjoy Nami's treatment. Although there was a permanent pointer in Deus that could barely determine the direction for them to go to the Drum Country, the time spent on the road depended on the sea conditions and weather. If it accidentally exceeded seven days, no one would be able to save them.

Entering the warehouse, Kos walked straight to the box containing the insect repellent, loosened the fastening rope and took out six bottles of spray-type insect repellent.

But before closing the box, Kos suddenly stopped.

"Do you want to use Kodaz too?"

After thinking about Kodaz's short hair, Kos took out another bottle.

"—"

After closing the box, there was a slight noise from the innermost corner of the cargo hold.

"Rat?"

Kos frowned and refastened the box, then walked softly and slowly towards the direction of the sound.

A chain emerged from the palm of Kos's hand, swinging like a snake ready to go.

Kodaz is a big cat, but he can't catch mice at all, so the mouse problem on the Gray Pearl has always been controlled by manpower.

But just as Kos was looking for traces of mice...

"Roar--"

A roar that was particularly powerful in terms of decibels and intimidation came from outside.

Cos, who realized the appearance of the dinosaur, immediately threw the mouse aside and ran outside with the deworming medicine. In his opinion, even if the mice on the ship were dealt with, there would still be mice running from the island to the ship in the future. Now the difference between catching and not catching is not very big, what is more important is to see the dinosaurs.

When he ran to the deck, everyone leaned against the side of the ship and looked toward the shore. In the jungle on the shore, a huge carnivorous dinosaur that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex poked out its huge Incomparable head.

"Roar--"

After roaring again, the "T-Rex" emerged from the jungle, opened its big mouth, and rushed towards the Gray Pearl, revealing its dagger-like fangs.

Obviously I want to stage the plot of "Jurassic Park" here.

It's just that although the "T-Rex" is nearly ten meters tall and bigger than the original version, it's unknown where it went, but this is the pirate version of Jurassic Park, so its ending...

Really a bit like chicken - Ace
