Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Ahhh! Ahhh!

A piercing scream echoed through the ship's hold once more...

Chapter 140 Vanished into Thin Air! The Hunt!

……

Time passed day by day.

Day and night alternate.

At midday, the sun was blazing.

USS Merry.

"Don't worry about physical exertion at this stage!"

"clear!!!"

"..."

On the deck, looking at Jem and Michita, whose mental state was completely different from before, Vivi, who had changed into a striped shirt, blinked her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

With her eyes shining as she stared at Hai, Weiwei asked with extreme curiosity, "How did you do that? Not only have they become unusually obedient, but their mental state is also different from before?"

"Be obedient? It wasn't like this at first."

Seeing that Jem and the other were focused on developing their abilities, Hai said with a smile, "But there's nothing that a good beating can't solve. If there is, then just give them a good beating."

"What? You want to try it too?"

"No, thank you..."

Hearing this, Weiwei stuck out her little tongue and quietly moved away.

These past few days, she has frequently heard pitiful screams.

Only a ghost would want to try this kind of weird stuff.

"By the way, the weather's been pretty nice these past few days..."

Gazing at the clear blue sky, Hai squinted and tilted his head to ask:

"Nami... is the flight path okay?"

"everything is normal."

Nami, who was studying the nautical chart with Nojiko, replied without looking up, "It must be because the route we chose is particularly suitable, without any disasters or difficulties..."

"Please don't let your guard down!"

Vivi gently reminded her, "That stretch of sea at the very front is quite special. The seven magnetic forces originating from Upside-Down Mountain have disrupted all directions..."

"Therefore, we must not let our guard down. Although it is unlikely that we will encounter sea areas as chaotic as the first leg of the voyage (317), it is certain that the voyage ahead will be much more difficult than sailing in ordinary sea areas..."

"Never underestimate this seemingly calm sea!"

"Hmm...that makes a lot of sense."

Hearing this, Hai smiled and pointed at Nami, saying, "But we have the world's best navigator, so we absolutely don't need to worry about that..."

"You really trust her."

With a gentle smile, Vivi looked at Nami with a hint of envy.

Hey everyone!

Sanji emerged from the kitchen carrying a large tray of fruit juice, shouting, "I've developed a special drink today, come and try it!"

"I'd like a drink here..."

"I also want!"

"Leave me a cup!!"

"Two cups! Thank you, Sanji..."

"..."

Seeing the lively scene of everyone crowding around Sanji, Vivi couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

Is this really the right thing for them to do?

"Isn't it great?"

After taking a sip of his complex-tasting beverage, Hai smiled and handed another glass to Weiwei. Watching the lively chatter on the deck, he said with a grin:

"If something really happens, the potential they unleash is unimaginable. After all, no one present wants to die easily..."

That being said…

Weiwei seemed a little relaxed and said, "I feel like I've already become more carefree after only a few days..."

"This is the atmosphere I wanted."

Hai smiled slightly.

"Only when our companions can leave all their worries behind on this ship will the journey be anything but boring..."

Ok……

With the sea breeze blowing, Vivi reached up and brushed her hair behind her ear, smiling gently.

"Not thinking about those messy things really makes me feel much lighter..."

Hey hey!

On the lookout tower, Usopp, who was observing the surroundings, retracted his telescope and shouted to the people on deck, "Look ahead! It looks like an island has appeared!"

"It must be right!"

Nami nodded, her expression reassuring, as she observed the direction the record pointer was pointing.

"Connected to Cactus Island! Our next destination is that island!"

"Get closer first..."

He opened his double pupils and gazed at the distant island.

"There seems to be a river leading inland to the due south. Turn the boat thirty degrees to the left, Nami..."

"Ok!"

quite a while.

As the Merry approached the island, a river several tens of meters wide indeed appeared in front of it.

However, the environment appeared somewhat gloomy due to the cover of tall trees and thickets on both sides.

"Want to go in?"

"Let's go in, after all, we still need to store the [records]..."

"..."

“Be careful…” Looking at the somewhat gloomy environment, a hint of worry flashed in Weiwei’s eyes: “What Ms. Quan said on Sunday is making me very worried…”

Will monsters appear?

Nojiko asked curiously, "A monster I've never seen before?"

"Who knows?" Sanji lit a cigarette, puffing out smoke. "We need to replenish our food supplies. The little bit we got in that town is almost gone..."

"Please don't misunderstand the words 'Little Garden'..."

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Hai looked at the dense rainforest on both sides of the river and laughed, "Sometimes 'small' is relative, like the giants I mentioned before..."

"To the giants, this might just be a small garden, but to us, it's a super garden brimming with resources!"

A super-sized garden?

Just as everyone was hearing this and was somewhat confused.

quack!

Suddenly, a piercing roar, like a volcanic eruption, came from somewhere.

ga-

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic bird with a body hundreds of meters long and a head like a lizard soared past from high above.

Gudong!

Seeing this, Noki swallowed hard.

"Can this kind of sound be heard in a normal rainforest?"

"That was probably some kind of dinosaur, right?"

Hai looked away, a hint of interest in his expression.

"As expected of 'Little Garden,' it gave us such a big surprise as soon as we arrived..."

"Sanji! Can we cook that dinosaur from earlier?"
