"It's such a big elephant. It's too big. Ikoma, look at it!"
Wuming, oh no, it must be Suiji, she looked very excited as she hugged Ikoma next to her, her delicate little face was bright red.
"Yes, the earth is indeed incredible. Is that Zou..."
A pony with gray-green hair looked at the giant creature on the sea in great shock.
The place where the two of them were at this time was an air force flying warship, and their destination was the whale forest on Zowu's back.
It was originally the country of the fur tribe, but they have moved to the red continent and are now being transformed into an air force base by workers from the Construction Department.
"This will be our home from now on, and it's actually on the body of an elephant!"
Hozumi raised his head and looked at Ikoma, with a look of happiness in his eyes.
She is no longer 'Nue', but an ordinary human being who used two doses of 'white blood plasma' to return to normal, so she naturally withdrew from CP-Nue's team.
However, he did not completely withdraw from the establishment of CIPHER POL, but continued to serve the World Government as a member of CP1.
The main reason is that the chief of CIPHER POP felt that Hozumi was too young and that she was needed in other places.
That's right.
That place is the giant elephant ‘Zou’!
As for Ikoma, who is still a mid-level researcher at the Academy of Sciences, this time he came to visit with Suizumi, so he specially asked for a few days off.
Hmm... It's like a young couple who came to see a new house. One is only thirteen years old and the other is just eighteen years old.
"Hozumi, you should be more concerned about whether you can control it now."
Ikoma looked at Zuo who was getting closer and said with some worry.
"It should be no problem. I have tried my ability many times before. As long as it is an animal, it will be effective!" Hozumi confidently raised his chin and smiled.
"It's better to be like this, otherwise you will become a landlubber for nothing..."
In fact, Ikoma still had something to say.
That is, if Hozumi's ability fails, her value to the World Government will definitely be greatly reduced, and her future treatment will definitely not be much better.
"Ikoma, don't just talk about me, you also talk about yourself. How was your life at that weapons institute? Did anyone bully you?"
Suizumi asked softly.
"It's good. I'm mainly responsible for the modification and research and development of jet bombs. At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite solemn and not many people were willing to talk to me."
Ikoma didn't say much about those unhappy things.
"But with the arrival of a boy named Bucky, our institute began to become lively. Every day you can hear his loud shouts and the explosions when testing gunpowder... "
Having said this, a smile appeared on his face. Hozumi, who noticed this, could feel that Ikoma seemed to like Bucky very much.
"Bucky is really interesting. He has a round red nose, but he hates it when people call him red nose. Even if the spoken pronunciation is slightly red nose, he will hear it as red nose and get angry."
"Also, his body is amazing. No matter how big the gunpowder explosion is, except for burning some hair, it will basically not suffer much damage..."
Ikoma is very envious of Bucky's physique. If it were him, he would have been lying in a coffin, right?
"Do you have a good relationship with him?"
Hozumi asked curiously, Ikoma nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay. Bucky was very curious when he heard that I was from another world, so he took the initiative to chat with me."
"He has a good personality and doesn't look down on my physique or identity, so we became friends as we chatted."
"We also made an agreement that when his 'Bucky Gunpowder' is completed, we will use it with my 'Jet Bullet' to create a shell that can penetrate the island with one shot!"
Ikoma started talking endlessly when he talked about this, which made Hosumi happily secretly say: "Ikoma really found new friends here, it's great..."
At the same time, I also thought of my new friends from another world.
It was Kamado Nezuko from the Demon Slayer World. A few days ago, when she was still in CP-Nue, she learned about the latter's transformation into a human through a phone bug.
Nezuko is currently living in the Flower City of Wano Island, enjoying a peaceful life with her brother.
I heard on the phone that her brother, Tanjiro Kamado, was only fifteen years old, so the World Government did not assign him a position, but he continued to practice swordsmanship in Mitōsai.
Nezuko told her that the happiest thing for her now was to clean the house and yard assigned to the Kamado family every day, and then cook breakfast and dinner for her brother and Zenitsu and Inosuke who often came to the house as guests.
When I was bored during the day, I would go to the manor of the Ubuyashiki family. Either I would learn tea ceremony with Mrs. Amane, or I would play with the four Ubuyashiki sisters. From time to time, they would visit the scenery of Wanoshima together.
She also told herself to come and have a look if she had time, and she would definitely introduce everyone to her.
honestly.
Hozumi often feels incredible about his current life. Not only does he live in a different world, but the friends he makes are also from other worlds.
You can see, hear, and come into contact with all kinds of magical things all the time.
Half an hour later.
The flying warship docked near Zuowu's mouth. At this time, the two of them stopped talking because they were too frightened to speak.
Looking at a giant beast from a distance and coming into close contact with a giant beast give people a sense of oppression. They are completely different things.
Imagine that less than a hundred meters away from you, there is a towering black and gray mountain. But it is not a mountain, but a large living thing that is always moving!
honestly.
Hozumi and Ikoma's hairs were already standing on end, and their bodies were frozen in place, unable to move at all.
Fortunately, at this time, a gentle voice came from behind.
"Don't be nervous. Zuowu has a good personality and will not attack us. It will be time for him to eat later. I will fly over with you then. Be sure to seize the opportunity to throw the dumplings into his mouth. ~”
next moment.
Warm palms were placed on their shoulders. As a ball of blue flame appeared, their bodies gradually relaxed, like pieces of thawed meat...
"Lieutenant General Marco!"
Hozumi and Ikoma turned their heads and looked at each other gratefully.
That's right.
The captain of this flying warship is none other than the former captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco of the 'Phoenix'.
It's just that his height reaches two meters.
Facing the 1.7 meter and 1.5 meter young couple, they had to bend down, but this also made Marco look more kind and gentle.
"Hozumi-chan, are you afraid of heights?"
Suiji shook his head and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I won't miss it!"
Although she is young, she has been educated by Amata Mima since she was a child and knows very well what personal value is.
Although she is now free from the control of the 'Karakata Clan', she is still greatly affected mentally, so she has a maturity far beyond that of a little girl of the same age.
In this aspect, she is actually better than the eighteen-year-old Ikoma, who even seems to be very naive and childish in her eyes.
"It's really reliable~"
Marco smiled approvingly.
But then Suizumi showed her naughty nature.
"Lieutenant General Marco, I heard that my Dango Fruit ability is also effective on those with animal abilities. Would you like to try one?"
As he said that, he took out a ball of meat from his white and tender face and put it on the palm of his hand and started joking.
"Stop making trouble, Hozumi!"
Ikoma quickly stopped her, then immediately bowed her head to Lieutenant General Marco and apologized: "I'm very sorry, please don't get to know her."
"Hehe." Suiji chuckled.
"Uh, hahaha, it's okay, it's okay..."
Marco stood up and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. He really didn't dare to eat the dumpling. After all, with the superhuman Devil Fruit ability, anything could happen.
"Okay, okay, Zuowu is about to start eating. You'd better leave this dumpling of yours to him~~"
