Chiron transformed into a centaur form and jumped onto the back of the whale carrying Red Eyes and Eric.
"There really is a way! I thought the captain was talking nonsense." Chi Tong spoke bluntly.
"When have I ever told you a lie? I am obviously sincere to you."
"Not to me, but to the kids in the gym, especially Kuina and Zoro, they often tell lies."
"Am I telling lies? When adults talk nonsense to children, they are just teasing them." Eric imitated Kong Yiji's tone of voice.
Entering the whale through the door, "it's almost like a construction site." Steel plates connect the walls, and there are steel bars for reinforcement. The lights above the head emit a dim light, illuminating the road below.
"You should all remember the directions, I'm a bit of a road freak." Eric asked.
"Can you get lost even on a straight road?" Chitong asked a little cutely.
"No, I mean if there are side roads like a maze, I will get lost."
"Don't worry, 'the old horse knows the way'."
"It feels a bit like exploring when you were a kid~" Eric recalled the secret base he played in when he was a kid.
"What does that feel like?" Chiron was born as a centaur. Because he hated monsters, his mother turned into a Bodhi tree. He worked hard to become a sage and had no experience playing games with his peers.
"Hmm." He and his sister Heitong lived on the streets since childhood, working hard to survive. Or, without the leisure to play, they were taken away by the imperial agency and trained to be killers. There was no childhood at all.
"..." Then Eric became autistic. He didn't have high emotional intelligence and was not very good at talking. He carefully considered his words: "The past is past, and the future is ours. Don't care ~ don't care ~"
"Ah, we're in a big space." Although the passage just now is not small, the ceiling above is very close to the top of the head, which always makes it feel small.
"Where do you think there will be people? Teacher Chiron." Eric didn't want to go the wrong way. After all, the island whale was several kilometers long, and it would waste a lot of time to go back and forth on the wrong side.
"I feel someone's aura over there." Although he was unable to use his full strength for unknown reasons, Chiron was still farther than Chitong in the use of sight and color.
…
Opening the small door, what comes into view is the blue sky, white clouds and seagulls, and the green sea.
"It's all painted on." Chiron, who has clairvoyance skills, said.
"Well, but why is there light? A closed space should be dark." Eric felt strange about some plots in the anime and felt that there were bugs in them. Maybe he was a bit of a jerk.
"There are two small islands over there." Chiron accurately discovered the location of the target person.
"Hey! Uncle, I have something to tell you!!" Eric yelled, not sure if he was too far away to hear.
"What's going on?" Unexpectedly, a voice came from directly below. Kurokas finished taking the sedative and walked back slowly, only to encounter three uninvited guests.
"Oh, regarding Rab, can you please bring your boat over? Our companions have devil fruit abilities." Eric answered.
"But we can go into the water." Chitong told the truth without any thought.
"But there is a sea of stomach acid down there, and I don't want to taste that." Eric had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Souga, you three are newcomers to the sea. It's really brave for just three of you to dare to venture into the Grand Line." They returned to the island to pick up the three Erics and introduced themselves to each other. At least there was no "Bang!" Bang! Bang!" scene.
"So, what are you talking about about Rab?" Kurokas really cares about Rab, otherwise he wouldn't have taken care of him for so long, and he even went to sea on One Piece's ship to look for him.
"This is a very important matter. It's best to let Rab listen to it~ By the way, could you please tell my two friends Rab's story? I don't know much about the details."
"So so, so so."
"It turns out that he is a very loyal partner, Rab." Chitong said with emotion.
"But you were drooling before and wanted to eat it." Eric also started to reveal his shorts.
"That's because I don't know about Rab's situation! I don't plan to eat it anymore!" Chitong retorted.
"In order to treat the overly large Labu, I can only treat it from the inside, so I transformed it into what it is now." Kurokas also talked about the origin of these passages and gates.
"But you did such a big project yourself, right? How long did it take? How much steel was used? Why wouldn't such a long passage be damaged by the filibuster movement?" Eric started looking for unreasonable reasons again. place.
"It probably took me half a year. I have forgotten how much steel was used." Kurokas began to recall. As for the last question, he couldn't answer it.
During the chat, passed through the opened gate and drove out of Rab's body.
"Rabu, there is someone who knows about the Lombard Pirates." Kurokas shouted to Rabu.
The island whale stretched out its huge head, staring at itself with black eyes bigger than the ship. Its huge body caused huge waves, "Too close, too close!" Although he knew that Rab would not attack people, But I was still a little scared.
"The Lombard Pirates contracted the plague after going to sea and were wiped out 37 years ago. However, one of them was still alive after eating the Underworld Fruit. His name was Brooke. His hair was an afro and he is now a skeleton, but he has always been He lost his way in the Magic Triangle, so he couldn't get out, but he also remembered his agreement with you!" Eric briefly explained clearly the reason why the Lombard Pirates were destroyed and why they didn't come back. (Eric only remembers that someone got sick and the group was wiped out, but he forgot the specific details.)
"Weng!~" Rab's voice was loud, was it because he was happy? Do companions who have known it for 50 years always remember it? Or is it because of sadness? Is there only one companion left?
"What are you doing? Mr. Kurokas?" He noticed that Kurokas was packing his things and preparing for a long trip.
"I'm going to find that guy, Rab! You stay here and don't hit the red continent again!" Kurokas actually planned to go to sea to find Brooke.
Labu nodded repeatedly, and the sea surface became rough with the movement of the island whale's body.
"Then do you want to take my boat? Although I can't get there directly, I can still give you a ride." Eric suggested giving Kurokas a ride.
"No, that's too slow, and I also need to go to the Shampoo Islands in advance to find a helper. Young man, enjoy your journey!" Kurokas refused.
"There may be Moonlight Moria in that place now, you'd better be careful." Eric reminded.
"Haha, even though that old guy and I are old, we won't be hurt by a junior!"
'Champaign Islands? Is it Rayleigh? Eric thought to himself, after all, they have all been on the same ship, and there is only one big shot in the Chambord Islands who is awesome and arrogant.
"Well, goodbye!" This sixty-year-old man was really resolute. He was ready to leave in a blink of an eye, just like the female teacher whose resignation letter said: "The world is so big, I want to see it."
Eric said to Raab earnestly: "Rabb, don't hit the red continent again, and don't block the exit. The people who will die because the ship hits you also have their families waiting for him."
"Weng!" Rab replied understandingly and nodded.
'Ah, I have done my part for world peace again. I am so great. ' Eric thought narcissistically.
"What is he thinking?" Chiron asked Chiron as he looked at Eric with a question mark.
"Boys of this age will behave like this, just look at it gently." The omniscient sage replied.
