Chopper could fully understand Mobangby's feelings for the previous animal king, the unicorn lion.

Because it also has a figure that it admires so much, Dr. Hiluluk, who loves and raises it as a reindeer.

If Dr. Hiluluk were killed, he would probably have fallen into the kind of despair that feared everything, as if he had fallen into the infinite darkness.

"However, Luffy is a good pirate ......"

Chopper still speaks well for his future companions.

"Will there be any good pirates?!"

"You'll know when you see them......"

"If, according to Chopper, you haven't seen them entirely, haven't you? How can you say such a thing? ”

Mobonby was angry.

"Because ......"

Chopper didn't know how to explain to Mobangby what his future companions would be, and what Polusalino meant to them.

】

But he knew that Mobangbi, the child who had lost his most important person, could not just leave it alone - it was a doctor who needed to heal not only the physical pain of the patient, but also the wounds in people's hearts.

But then again......

(I'm the Animal King?) Just because it came to this island as the legend says? ）

(If this is true......)

(Responsibility for the protection of this island......)

……

Luffy and the others, who finally escaped the horde of horneaters, took off the camouflage of the animals that Frankie had carefully crafted, and walked towards the depths of the jungle.

"Hey! Do you know where Chopper is? ”

Luffy looked at the sea otter father and son floating lightly in the slow-flowing river.

"Shouldn't sea otters live in the sea?"

"This must be an otter, Miss Nami."

"No, it's probably a beaver who is very good at backstroke."

Sanji and Zoro bent down.

"This island...... There are really any kind of animals. ”

As a navigator, Nami undoubtedly knows all sorts of unusual and exotic animals. However, a parade of rare birds and beasts like on Crown Island, even for her, is completely unheard of.

Luffy picked up a smooth stone slab from the river and drew it with his fingers.

"Hmmm! That's it! That's Chopper! Have you seen it? ”

The sea otter father and son, who saw the things on the stone slab, were stunned.

It turned out that the picture on it was like a rotten eggplant with a lot of fast nuts inserted into it.

"Fool! How did Chopper look like this? ”

Sanji kicked the captain into a tree.

"Huh?"

Just then, Sauron suddenly heard a faint voice.

"Human voices? Is there anyone else on this island besides us? ”

Sanji was also vigilant, and what drifted over with the wind was indeed the laughter of people.

"Let's go and see! Maybe you can ask something! ”

Nami made a decision, and Luffy and the others nodded their heads and walked towards the source of the sound together.

……

In the clearing next to the waterfall, a man named Badulla wrapped a napkin around him and laughed at the horns of animals as tall as mountains piled up on the table.

"Cards! Ha! Ha! Ha! There must be so many horns in them—"

"Lord Badulla! Mayonnaise and tomato juice are here for you! ”

The big hot dog clumsily poured mayonnaise and red tomato juice on top of a hill-high horn pile.

"Bastard!"

Badulla stood up from her chair and punched "Hot Dog" hard in the face.

The hot dog immediately wailed in fright like a lost dog.

"Lord Badulla...... Am I doing something wrong? ”

"Where did the mustard go? You've forgotten it again! Can you still eat it without mustard?! ”

"I'll bring it right away."

The snake hurried over and poured the very pure mustard on it.

"Hmmm......"

Badulla licked his tongue in satisfaction, and then, like a halfway wind, swept the horns of a whole plate of animals in an instant, and when it was over, he also put on a pompous bodybuilding pose.

"Hmm...... This is it! That's the smell! ”

"How are you feeling, Lord Badulla?"

"It's okay! Go on! Get some more horns! ”

Badulla shouted with his mouth stained with mayonnaise and tomato juice and mustard oil, and slapped the table urgently.

"Hey! What weird stuff are you eating? Is it delicious? ”

"What?"

Badulla looked back—

Behind him, Luffy and his gang were standing right now.

Luffy and the others followed Badura's "card!" Ha! Ha! Ha! The laughter came to the clearing on the edge of the waterfall.

"We're looking for Chopper, have you seen it?"

Luffy, who was familiar with himself and didn't know what it was to be ashamed, took out the ugly slate just now.

"Hey! Do you know who you're talking to?! ”

"I advise you to pay attention to your language and attitude."

"Otherwise......"

The man named Badulla and two of his men almost had the word "threat" written on their faces.

"Huh?"

"Humph! Don't know what I'm talking about? ”

Badulla struck suddenly.

Bell ——!

Badulla's punch hit the slate Luffy was holding.

"What is this guy going to do...... Could it be the legendary 'smashing fist' that can break stones into the tiniest powder? ”

Nami took a step back.

And yet—

"Good pain, pain......"

After a pause, Badulla cried out.

"Lord Badulla!"

"Damn, you actually made a move on Lord Badulla!"

Two of his men hurried to Badulla's side, whose hands were already swollen and red.

"Obviously this guy did it himself, right?"

Frankie retorted loudly.

"How dare you say 'this guy' to me...... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! My hands hurt so much! ”

"Lord Badulla, please use this."

“……？ What are you doing here, hot dog? ”

"Rub some ketchup on it, it looks like blood from an injury, you're in Mary Joa, don't you ......"

"Fool! There are no Draconians here! Don't do these things that don't make sense! ”

"So, please use this."

"Hiss——! it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Stained! You idiot! How can you take mustard!

”

While shouting this, the man named Badulla suddenly calmed down.

As if they were circus clowns, after the three of them finished performing a farce, they calmly looked at Luffy and the others.

"Cards! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

Badulla hurried to regain his majesty, "What's wrong? Too scared to speak? You know how good I am, right? I must be curious to know what kind of man I am. ”

"No, not at all."

Luffy shook his hand, and Nami and the others shook their heads one after another.

"Really? So much to know? Then I'll tell you! ”

"No, I don't want to hear it."

As he spoke, Luffy and the others stared at the Badulla trio seriously.

"W-What? Ha! Do I still have tomato juice on my face?! ”

Badulla quickly wiped her mouth with a napkin.

The hot dog wiped the runny snot with his hands.

The snake adjusted its hairstyle and made it look like it was tilting to one side.

"Are these guys really human?"

"Who knows."

"The ancients planted it...... The kind that hasn't fully evolved yet. ”

Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro, looking at these three faces that can't be said to be human faces at all, think desperately.

"Hey! What are you talking about? ”

"Say it again?!"

"These little imps! Who is not like a human being?! ”

Badulla's face flushed with rage.

"I'm not a ghost, my name is Monchi D. Luffy, and I'm a pirate!"

"Little pirates! I claim to be the smartest man in the world! The world's No. 1 treasure hunting genius who serves Mary Joa's Draco adults! Count Badulla! ”

Luffy was startled.

"And I'm the self-proclaimed strongest swordsman in the world, General Hot Dog!"

"What? The strongest in the world? Swordsman?! ”

Zoro looked at the meteor hammer in the hot dog's hand and grasped the hilt with black lines.

"The Pirate Emperor 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, the mace 'Eight Fasts' in his hand, and this meteor hammer of mine were built by the same craftsman! They are all ranked among the top 12 fast knives! ”

"Then, I'm the president of the self-proclaimed world's No. 1 beautiful man snake!"

"The world's No. 1 beautiful man?!"

Sanji moved his eyebrows.

"None of the enemies and women I have targeted can run away! I'm just that horrible ......."

"Sit down! Sit down! ”

"Wang! Woof! ”

Before the snake could introduce herself, Nami gave the order to the hot dog, and the guy really sat down on the ground.

"Look! Little snake little snake! ”

The snake also reflexively swallowed the frog that Luffy found and threw over from nowhere.

"Sure enough, it's a dog."

"This guy is indeed a snake, too."

Zoro and Sanji nodded in agreement.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The hot dog and snake who reacted were furious, "How dare you fool us?!" ”

"By the way, aren't you the world's number one treasure hunting genius who specializes in serving the world's nobles? Did you come to this island to find the King's Treasure? ”

"That's right! Pretty chick with an eye! ”

Badulla is clearly the kind of character that is touted by others.

"That's amazing! So, what do you know about that treasure? Can you tell us? ”

Nami's voice softened.

"Cards! Ha! Ha! Ha! You guys? Nope! A fool can't understand the King's Treasure! ”

Badulla looked up and laughed.

Hot dogs and snakes laughed as well.

"Cards! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

"Huh? What are you laughing at

Luffy also laughed at Badulla.

"I'm impersonating you! Isn't this the most popular fool's laugh right now? ”

"Luffy rarely said the right thing......"

"yes, I can smell it, the smell of fools in the air!"

Sanji sniffed, as if he could really smell the smell of a fool.

"That's right, the smell is still strong!"

Frankie also seemed to smell the smell of this fool and shook his head.

"Impossible! I'm the man who understands the secrets of the King's treasure! How can there be a taste of fools?! ”

Badulla's short, fat hands groped back and forth with him, sniffing in circles as if he really wanted to make sure he wasn't a fool.

"Please! Don't you usually like to fight?! Go up and beat this guy up! ”

Nami couldn't bear it anymore, "The king's treasure or something, won't you understand it when you get it?!" ”

"Humph! It's all said! It is absolutely impossible for a fool to understand the so-called words 'get the king's treasure and you get the whole world'! ”

“……？”

"That's right! And since you fools can't understand it, I won't tell you that the king's treasure, according to my ruined national sources, is in fact a mysterious power hidden in the horns of some animal! ”

“……？”

"That's why I chose to become the treasure hunter of the Draco people! Explore the world! Ostensibly, I'm hunting them for these precious animal horns that can be eaten as medicine and used as crafts, but in reality, my goal is only the King's Treasure! Such a genius plan, even if the heavens and the earth change color, I will never say it! Card! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

"What a genius plan! You seem to have said it all, though. ”

"Ah——! Oops——! ”

Reminded by Namiichi, Badulla quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

"You are so bold that you dare to extract a secret from Lord Badulla's mouth!"

"Obviously he said it himself."

Zoro said to the hot dog angrily.

"Shut up! There's nothing wrong with Lord Badulla! You can't make a mistake either! ”

"Not only are you not good looking, but your brain is not good either......"

Sanji gave President Snake a sympathetic expression.

"But, yes, hateful! Now that you know from me the secret of my use of the Draconians and the King's treasure, I can't keep you alive! ”

Badulla set up a small advance.

"Huh? Did you even want to spare us in the first place? ”

Nami let out a scream.

"Come out! Berserk Movement Soldiers! ”
