Navigation: Comprehension Heaven-Defying, Understanding Eight Gate Escape At The Beginning

"You... are not worthy to be compared with me!"

"Clip!"

Such a voice came out from the phone bug and the call was hung up.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

Crocodile's office was eerily silent.

Crunch!

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a bearded man said with a smile.

"Mr. Crocodile, someone in the casino down below said he wanted to take a photo with you, would you like to..."

Halfway through the words, the man suddenly trembled, his whole body was cold, and there was extreme fear and terror in his eyes.

Just by looking at Crocodile's eyes that were so angry that he could kill, he was so frightened that he lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

The next second.

"sosososo..."

Amidst a burst of screams, the man finally turned into a mummy and withered bones that had absorbed all the water.

Crocodile looked at Luffy's bounty list on the table and groaned in an extremely low and angry voice.

"Straw Hat Boy......"

As he spoke, he grabbed it and kneaded it in his hands, then turned it into a handful of loose sand and scattered it on the ground.

Aboard the Golden Merrie!

Vivi looked at Luffy solemnly and worriedly and said.

"You were so impulsive just now, Luffy!"

"If you anger Crocodile, you will be in danger."

Luffy looked at Vivi and asked in a low voice.

"Vivi, do you think if you don't anger him, he will let you go and let us go?"

"Eh?!"

Vivi was stunned when she heard this.

After being told this, she realized that she really would not let them go.

Luffy came over, patted Vivi's shoulder gently, and said softly.

"Relax, Vivi!"

"You fear Crocodile too much."

"He's just a Shichibukai, nothing to be afraid of."

"I promise you that I will help you save your country from him.

Vivi looked at Luffy blankly. She thought of what Nami told her and the unconditional trust that the people on this ship had in Luffy.

perhaps....

Can she trust Luffy for once like Nami and the others?

"*......

Vivi took a long breath and said with an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I'm too nervous."

Seeing Vivi relax a little, Luffy also smiled.

"I saw the island!"

At this moment, Nami's cry of surprise came from the bow.

She followed the direction of the record pointer and looked at an island gradually appearing in front of her.

Soon, voices of surprise and emotion sounded from 630 on the ship.

"Is that our next destination after leaving Prickly Pear Island?"

“We enter the second island after the Grand Line!”

Just when everyone was sighing and looking forward to it, an unsociable voice suddenly sounded.

"If you land on that island, someone might die!"

For a moment, the boat became extremely quiet.

Everyone followed the voice and saw Robin looking at them calmly.

Soon, voices sounded one after another.

"Dead... Dead people? What does this mean?"

"Isn't that island dangerous?"

"Are there monsters? Are there zombies? Or...cannibals? Ugh! I don't want to be eaten by cannibals!"

"Why can she say such terrible things with a calm face?"

Robin's expression remained unchanged and he explained in his usual tone.

"That island is called [Little Garden]."

Everyone was confused when they heard this.

"Little Garden?"

Robin nodded.

"There is a primitive forest from the Jurassic era, and there are all kinds of ferocious beasts and dinosaurs on the island."

Hearing this, Nami Usopp and Vivi were immediately frightened and their pupils turned white.

"Dinosaur! So scary!"

"Is it called [Little Garden] just because of these large beasts?"

"In this way, we are really small compared to those dinosaurs!"

Robin shook his head and said.

"No! It's called [Little Garden] because the island is as small as a garden to the people living there."

"There...are giants in there!"

When the three of them heard this, their fear level reached a new level.

"E...EX?!"

"Is such a big island as small as a garden? How scary!"

"It's over, we won't be eaten by giants, right?"

Seeing the three people like this, the others were speechless and complained.

"When I talk about you guys, am I exaggerating?!"

"Weren't you all trained very well by Luffy? Just dinosaurs aren't that scary, right? Haven't you beaten all the Sea Kings? Why don't you just leave a few giants to us?"

"Especially you Usopp! Didn't you guys eat the exploding fruits? Why are you still so timid? Wouldn't it be nice if the dinosaurs came and blew them up?"

Nami and Usopp were stunned when they heard this and straightened their bodies.

Nami: "That makes sense! Dinosaurs are not as big as Sea Kings, right? What am I afraid of?"

Usopp: "That's right! I've already eaten the exploding fruit, what's there to be afraid of?" (ceai)

Vivi was the only one crying there.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I haven't been trained by Luffy...I can't beat the dinosaur!"

Seeing Vivi crying and helpless, Luffy smiled, walked over, patted her and said.

"Just follow me later! As long as I'm here, it'll be okay."

Vivi stopped crying immediately, grabbed Luffy's arm tightly, pursed her lips, looked at Luffy pitifully, and nodded repeatedly like a rattle.

After approaching [Little Garden], everyone also saw the appearance of the island clearly.

The whole thing looks like a tropical rain forest, with towering trees, a variety of strange plants, and constant chirping of insects.

"It looks like there are many different types of plants here. I'm going to collect and study them to see if I can find some novel plants or cultivate new useful varieties, and then plant them on our ship."

Nuo Qigao looked excited.

Since Luffy helped her learn a lot of botany knowledge, her interest has been piqued, and she has always wanted to find an opportunity for her to develop, so she is extremely excited now.

"There's almost no food on the ship. I'm going to hunt for some edible wild animals. I'll also see if there are any other edible wild fruits or anything like that."

Sanji said what he wanted to do.

"Usopp just made me a weather stick, so I'll find some ferocious beasts to try out the new weapon! Nokigao, just so I can be by your side to protect you.

Nami gave Nokigao a confident smile and gave her a thumbs up, and the other party also smiled and nodded at her.

Then the next second, Nami looked at Uta with pleading eyes.

"Uta, come with us! I can feel at ease as long as you are here! If there are several dinosaurs coming at once, we will be eaten.'

Uta looked at Nami who changed his face at the speed of light, smiled and nodded.

"sure!"

The corners of Zoro's mouth curled up, and there was excitement in his eyes.

"Didn't I say there are giants on this island? I'll go find them to see if they are strong."

Usopp saw that everyone else had formed a team, and immediately hugged Zoro's thigh.

"I'll go with Zoro! I'll find a chance to get used to the explosive fruit's ability on the way, and then see if I can use my understanding of [Improved Buggy Bullets] to develop new abilities.

Even with the explosive fruit, Usopp should still be timid.

In the end, only Robin, Luffy and Vivi were left.

Luffy and Vivi said they wanted to form a team on the boat.

Then he looked at Robin and asked.

"Robin, do you want to be alone or with us?"

Robin looked at Luffy curiously and asked.

"Alone? Do you allow me to be alone? Are you not afraid that I will leave you in the middle and return to Crocodile?"

Luffy said indifferently.

"If you leave, I'll bring you back."

"And I want you to be my partner, not a prisoner. I will not restrict your freedom."

Robin was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly laughed and said.

"Then I'll be alone! If I take a look around this island, I might be able to find some interesting history.

Luffy nodded in approval.

Then, he said to everyone.

"Crocodile said that he will hunt us down on the way. Please be careful and see if there are any of their people on the island."

"If so, arrest them, and then we'll see if we can get some useful information."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding.

Afterwards, they dispersed and left as planned.

Inside the Little Garden.

Luffy, Vivi, and Karu were walking in the dense and towering forest.

From time to time, a series of roars of beasts and dinosaurs came from inside. Vivi and Karu also trembled in fear from time to time with those roars.

"Vivi, you and Karu are too nervous. Relax. I'll be fine."

Luffy glanced at Vivi, who had been tensing her body, and couldn't help but say.

She had been in this highly nervous state since she got off the boat.

Vivi forced out a stiff smile and said.

"Ha...haha! I'm already relaxed!"

Roar!

At this moment, a dinosaur roar suddenly came from beside him.

"Wow!"

"Gah!"

Vivi and Karu screamed at the same time, and both jumped up like springs.

The next second, Vivi was hanging on Luffy's body.

Karu was holding Luffy's calf tightly.

boom!

Luffy knocked the dinosaur away with a random punch.

"Okay, it's okay!"

"...!"

Vivi sighed.

Only then did he get off Luffy.

In the forest, Luffy and Vivi sat on the head of an extremely huge long-necked dragon.

All surrounding scenery is unobstructed.

"Yah! So!...Too high, Luffy!"

"Is this dinosaur really not going to eat us?"

Vivi looked nervous and shivered in Luffy's arms.

"Gah!"

Karu was also trembling.

"Vivi, don't worry, I'm here!"

"Look around you, there are beautiful ones."

Luffy sat behind Vivi, patting her gently and comforting her.

As Luffy solved the dangers around him time and time again, he took Vivi on various tours.

Vivi also gradually became relaxed from her original nervous state.

Even later, when he heard the roar of the dinosaur next to him, he would proactively remind Luffy and report his location.

Under Luffy's protection and company, Vivi's face gradually bloomed with a smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Luffy, this way!"

Vivi called out to Luffy and pointed him in a direction.

There was a smile on her face, no fear in her eyes, and she looked extremely relaxed and happy.

boom!

Luffy dodged, came to the direction Vivi was pointing, and punched the dinosaur away.

"Good job, Luffy!"

"Drink some water!"

Vivi smiled and handed Luffy a small barrel-shaped cup, which contained the drinks that Sanji had prepared for everyone before leaving.

"Gudonggudonggudong......"

Luffy took the cup and drank heavily.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, there were violent sounds near them, and the ground continued to shake with the sounds, like an earthquake.

Vivi subconsciously let out a cry of surprise.

"What...what's going on?"

"Quack!"

The two men and the duck looked over.

They saw an extremely tall figure walking towards them.

After discovering the two men, the figure immediately lowered his head and looked over.

Luffy, the two men and the duck also saw the appearance of the huge figure at this time.

The other party was a giant with a long beard, wearing an iron helmet, holding an iron sword and a shield.

Seeing such a tall giant for the first time, Vivi couldn't help but hide behind Luffy unconsciously.

Although she was not as nervous and scared as before, she was still a little scared when facing an object that looked scary.

Spoon spoon spoon

The giant laughed a unique laugh, then looked at Luffy and said.

"I haven't seen humans for many years. Are you willing to be my long-lost guests?"

Luffy recognized that the other party was one of the two giants on the island, [Blue Ogre] Dorry, and nodded.

"Yes!"

Vivi asked quietly behind him.

"Luffy, the other party is a giant, is it okay to agree to him like this?" Luffy responded. "It's okay, he has no ill intentions. Hearing Luffy say this, Vivi was relieved and no longer hid behind Luffy. This strange change even made her not realize that she had begun to trust and rely on Luffy unconditionally. In a huge camp. Luffy sat cross-legged, and Devi Devi and Kalu sat beside him. Dorry sat opposite. Luffy and Dorry were eating the barbecued dinosaurs that Dorry caught. Dorry was holding the outdoor lunch box that Sanji prepared for Luffy. Dorry pinched the lunch box with two fingers, which was almost the size of his fingernails, and laughed. "Hehehehehehehe......"I will accept your pirate lunch box, but the portion is too small." Luffy said vaguely while eating the barbecued dinosaur meat in front of him that was bigger than him. "That's because you're too big, but this lunch box is prepared by the best chef on our ship, and it tastes great!" Dorry laughed again when he heard this. "17+9+9+9+9+" "Really? Then I'll thank you." He then opened his mouth and poured it in. "Hehehehe... It's really delicious, this taste! If only there was a little more." Luffy suddenly remembered something and said. "By the way, we still have wine on the ship. You haven't had it for many years, right? I'll get it for you." Dorry was immediately excited when he heard this, and laughed happily. "Hehehehehe" "Thank you so much, my friend!" Luffy left for a while and brought Dorry a few barrels of wine. After that, the two ate and drank while chatting. But most of the time, Luffy was listening to Dorry telling his story. It's basically about him coming from Elbaf, fighting with another giant Brogy for 100 years, and having long forgotten the reason for the fight.

Later, Luffy and Vivi watched the duel between the two giants together.

During the period, they also found that Zoro and Usopp were with another giant Brogy.

It seems that they were also regarded as guests of Brogy.

Usopp was even more adoring of Brogy and regarded him as his master.

Because the duel was too loud, all the Straw Hat Crew were attracted.

Luffy was inspired and asked everyone to hold a happy banquet with the two giants.

After eating and drinking, everyone lay on the ground contentedly.

"Hey! Dorry, Shiloki! Do you know how long it takes for the record pointer of this island to record the magnetic field?"

Nami raised her hand and glanced at the record pointer on her arm that did not change.

Then, two leisurely voices rang in everyone's ears at the same time.

"One year!".
