One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

The expressions of Joyboy and Pedro changed. Joyboy said with a serious face,

"Gallot, you have misunderstood me too deeply."

Pedro then scolded,

"Go back! What do you know, little brat? Wanda, pull her back!"

However, Wanda did not do so this time. She frowned and said,

"Captain Pedro, I think what Garrot said is right. You'd better calm down first."

Pedro's face froze. Seeing this, Joyboy moved closer to Pedro and whispered,

"Follow your heart, Pedro. Do you want to spend your whole life here with hatred?"

Hearing this, Pedro's eyes finally became firm. He suddenly drew out the sword from behind and said loudly,

"For Brother Cat-Belly Snake, for freedom, and for this world, even if it means death, I am determined to follow Joy Boy out to sea! The White Whale Forest Knights!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several burly and fierce-looking fur-bearing people stood out from the crowd. They were all members of the White Whale Forest Knights mentioned by Pedro, and naturally they were also Pedro's staunch followers.

However, Joyboy was still not satisfied. In his opinion, the Minks were a very combat-capable race. Even though the Minks were relatively bad at fighting, they could become a very strong force once the full moon night came.

He wanted to bring the entire Mink Tribe into his camp.

Now he has completed the first step and successfully got Pedro and his men to stand on his side.

What he has to do next is the highlight, but before that, he needs to calm down the troublesome Garrott first.

He could ignore Gallot's ridicule before, but now Gallot has affected his work, he can no longer ignore it.

Joyboy narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Garrott.

Garrott frowned and said,

"look......"

Before Carrot could finish his words, Joyboy's eyes suddenly opened, and a red and black light flashed across his eyes. A beam of domineering color burst out from them and instantly swept across Carrot's body.

Joyboy's control over the Domineering Haki was so precise that even Wanda, who was closest to Carrot, didn't notice it at all. She only saw Carrot's eyes suddenly lose focus, and then he fell limply on her.

Wanda's face changed, she hugged Garrot and shook him vigorously, and said anxiously,

"Gallot? Gallot, what's wrong with you?!"

Joyboy withdrew his gaze. Pedro on the side had a solemn expression. Although he did not feel the domineering color released by Joyboy, he vaguely guessed what had just happened through Joyboy's actions.

Pedro whispered,

"That was... Domineering Haki just now?"

Joy Boy nodded slightly and said,

"That's right, that little girl is too young and her mind is not mature enough, so let her sleep for a while."

Pedro's mind was full of so-called freedom. When he heard that Garrot was fine, he stopped paying attention and sighed,

"Not only does he possess the talent for Conqueror Haki, but he can also control it so exquisitely. He is indeed a man who has escaped from Tianlong several times!"

Joey Boy felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. This was not a compliment to him. Doesn't "escaped several times" mean that he was beaten and fled every time?

However, Pedro did not think so. It could even be said that 99% of the people in the world shared his opinion, that being able to escape from Tianlong was something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

Just based on the fact that Joey Boy has escaped from Tianlong more than once, he can already be crowned as the "King of Escape"!

But Joey Boy himself definitely doesn't like this title.

His face darkened and he said,

"This won't happen again. Next time, he'll be the one to escape."

Pedro patted Joyboy on the shoulder and said,

"I understand your feelings, but if you want to defeat Tianlong, you should take your time. You are so powerful at such a young age. I believe you may have a chance to defeat Tianlong in the future!"

Joey Boy was choked by Pedro again. He suspected that Pedro was deliberately playing tricks on him. However, looking at Pedro's face full of sincerity, he could only suppress his unhappiness and said lightly,

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty! Also, as I've said before, I'm not young. If you insist, I'm more than 800 years old."

Pedro was slightly stunned. To be honest, until now he still thought that Joey Boy was talking nonsense to them.

Joyboy reiterated,

"I'm not kidding. I'm really over 800 years old. My partner can testify to this."

This time, before Pedro could respond, Sicilian spoke first.

"This partner you're talking about is really Zou?!"

The corners of Joey Boy's mouth rose slightly, and he thought that Sicilian finally couldn't help it.

He didn't answer, but slowly took two steps forward, then half squatted down, put his hands on the floor, and slowly closed his eyes.

This posture made the other fur tribes stunned. This was exactly the effect Joyboy wanted.

He closed his eyes and said,

“Zou, tell these people who have lived on you for generations whether I, Joyboy, am your partner.”

The next second, Joyboy heard a response from Zou.

"Yes! Of course! We will always be the closest of partners!!"

However, only Joyboy, who could listen to the sounds of all things, could understand this sound. All the Fur Tribe heard was the sound of an elephant roaring through the sky, accompanied by a heavy rain.

This rain is actually the water that Zou sprays with his trunk. For the Fur Tribe, this is called "rain of blessing."

Needless to say, Zou's status in the hearts of the Mink Tribe is equivalent to a living totem and a belief.

Although they couldn't understand Zou's voice, they could hear Zou's joy and recognition of Joy Boy.

The most important thing is that Joyboy really has the ability to communicate with Zou! If Zou's first elephant call was accidental, what about the second time? Zou really responded to Joyboy, a tiny human.

This move alone was enough to astound all the fur tribe members.

Under the awed gazes of the Minks, Joyboy slowly stood up. He took a look at the reactions of the Minks around him and knew that his ultimate move was successful.

As long as Zou endorses him, the Minks will definitely stand on his side. This is the power of faith.
