When Straw Hat Luffy and his friends enjoyed the special ceremony of farewell to the hero by the people of Dressrosa and sailed all the way to Zou, a full ten days had passed.
When they struggled to climb up to the Zou Kingdom on the back of a giant elephant tens of thousands of meters high, everyone was stunned.
This place had obviously been attacked, and there were scattered weapons and dried blood all over the place. There were [animal paths] left in the jungle when huge beasts passed through, and all the trees and buildings along the way were damaged and broken.
Even Luffy can notice something is wrong here.
Everyone ignored the scenery along the way and chased him along the open plow marks that had been forcibly 'opened' in the jungle.
But just as they were about to enter the city of Zuowu, they were attacked extremely fiercely.
"Wait a minute! Why are you attacking us?"
Luffy turned over to avoid the fierce chops falling from the sky, and jumped to the branches of the tall trees with the straw hat on his head.
Those who attacked them were a group of strange tribes whose bodies were covered with short fur, and whose faces and a few body parts had various animal characteristics. They were the [Fur Tribes] living in the Kingdom of Zou.
When this group of fur tribe saw Luffy and his party, their eyes turned red, and they raised their weapons to attack them as if they were desperate.
Since every attack of the fur tribe has a strong electric current and paralysis effect, coupled with the unusual lightness and fitness of the body, it makes the Straw Hats who have no intention of hurting people a little confused to deal with it.
"Tsk... I've heard rumors that fur tribes hate humans, but this is too aggressive."
Trafalgar Law once again used the 'ROOM' of the [Superman Surgery Fruit] to move the two fur tribes attacking him to the jungle dozens of meters away, and turned to look at Straw Hat Luffy:
"Straw Hat Boss, don't continue to waste time with them. These guys have been blinded by anger. Just subdue them!"
When Straw Hat Luffy heard this, he no longer hesitated. He jumped down to the open space and let the red-eyed fur tribesmen slash at him with weapons.
As veins suddenly appeared on his forehead, his eyes suddenly condensed, and invisible fluctuations spread rapidly to the surroundings. The fur tribe's eyes turned white, foaming at the mouth, and collapsed on the ground and fell into a coma, but the Straw Hats and the others were safe and sound.
This is Straw Hat Luffy's [Overlord Color Haki], a qualification that only one person in a million possesses to be born a king.
Luffy held up his hat and looked at the fur tribe on the ground with a frown: "Why are these guys so impulsive? Have they recognized the wrong person?"
"It's not against us, it's against [humanity]."
Sauron, who had been facing the enemy with the back of his sword, sheathed it: "Combined with the tragic scenes we saw before, it is obvious that this place has been invaded by human troops, right?"
Boatman Franky raised his head and sniffed: "There is a faint smell of gunpowder and gas in the air. The other party is the type who will do whatever it takes."
Trafalgar Law squatted in front of these collapsed fur tribes and observed carefully, and it took him a long time to come to the conclusion:
"Their bodies are very weak, which is likely to be the sequelae caused by the 'poison' not being completely digested. Moreover, they all have serious injuries. The wounds were simply sutured randomly, and the bandages were tied very unprofessionally. In other words...
… All the doctors here are dead.”
"It's too scary... Let's get out of here quickly. Maybe the intruders haven't left yet?" Usopp, the sniper, was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
At this moment, there was a sudden tremor in the grass nearby, and then a black shadow emerged from it and jumped directly into Robin's arms, trembling non-stop.
This is a strange creature that looks like a Q version of the Chinese dragon. It is the Wano boy [Momonosuke] who mistakenly ate the artificial devil fruit in Punk Hassad!
"Momonosuke! That's great, are you okay?" Kin'emon, a samurai from Wano Country, rushed over and looked nervously at Momonosuke, who had his head buried in Robin's chest.
Robin gently stroked Momonosuke's weird head with horns in his arms and comforted softly: "It's okay, Momonosuke, relax...relax..."
Gradually, Momonosuke's body finally stopped trembling, and it seemed that he had temporarily regained his composure.
"Momo, what happened here? Where are Sanji, Nami and the others?" Luffy asked anxiously.
Momonosuke calmed down for a while, and then slowly explained.
It turned out that he hid in the bushes as soon as the battle happened. Because he looked weird and had no human form and was no longer on the bounty list, even if the members of the Beast Pirates present saw him, they just thought it was Zou.
I didn’t pay much attention to the unique and strange animals.
Momonosuke saw with his own eyes that Sanji attacked the mammoth as huge as a mountain in order to protect his companions, and was killed instantly by the opponent with one blow.
He even recognized the tattoos on the pirates wearing fur armors, which were the logo of the Beasts Pirates!
The mighty Beasts Pirates captured the Straw Hats and Caesar Cullen who were present, and then took Inuarashi, Neko Viper and Raizo who had been tortured until they were breathless.
A huge red stone tablet with strange words engraved on it was also transported away.
After Mammoth and Brachiosaurus left with their troops, Momonosuke was afraid that there were still members of the Beast Pirates staying here, so he kept his dragon form and hid in the jungle.
The members of the Beast Pirates did not wait, but two days later some miserable-looking "animals" with bandages all over their bodies arrived. They looked like humans and animals, and they must be "Inuarashi" and "Neko Viper".
These people were holding weapons and looking for something with red eyes. Momonosuke was hungry and afraid, so he had to continue running deep into the jungle, occasionally picking up some fruits that fell on the ground to satisfy his hunger.
Several days later, Luffy and his party finally arrived.
Before Momonosuke could rush out to join Luffy and the others, the fur tribe suddenly jumped out and started to attack Luffy and the others, presumably thinking that Luffy and the others were the guards left here by the Beast Pirates.
"I'm sorry, I was too scared at the time and didn't dare to stand up and protect Miss Nami..."
Momonosuke, who had returned to his adult form, lowered his head, looking frustrated and remorseful.
Bang!
Luffy smashed the trunk of a big tree on the side of the road with one punch. His face that was usually joking and laughing was now full of seriousness, and he said slowly: "It's not your fault, Taozi. It's because we were late..."
"
Not only him, but everyone present looked ugly.
"Momonosuke, are you saying that the Beasts Pirates know that Curly Eyebrows and the others are coming to Saou?"
Zoro caught the key point in Momonosuke's description: "...how did they know?"
"Someone notified them in advance... By the way, they seemed to have mentioned a name called Hai... Hai..." Momonosuke frowned and tried to remember.
"Are they talking about [Heather]?" Trafalgar Law suddenly asked.
"Yes! That's the name, Heather!" Momonosuke received the prompt and immediately confirmed the name in his memory.
"Heather..." When Luffy heard the name, his bandaged right fist subconsciously felt a sting like a needle. The trauma that Heather had left him in the previous battle had not fully recovered yet, so this
It was very rare for Luffy to be able to recover from any injury after just eating and sleeping. Fortunately, he had the top doctor Trafalgar Law on board to treat him, and he began to slowly improve.
"The Brachiosaurus was going to do something bad to Miss Nami, but the giant mammoth stood up and stopped him, and used the name 'Heather' to scare off the Brachiosaurus."
Momonosuke hurriedly added: "Both of them seem to be very afraid of this 'Heather'. They were frightened when they heard his name."
"This is natural, because [Thunder Disaster] Heather's status in the Hundred Beasts Pirates is second only to 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, and is the first of the 'Four Disasters'. There are rumors in the outside world that Heather has inherited the Hundred Beasts Pirates
The bloodline of Beast Kaidana, the most powerful creature in the sea, land and air, he must be the [Crown Prince] of the Beast Pirates."
Trafalgar Law slowly exhaled, his expression ugly.
Just a few days after the Dressrosa incident, the World Government issued a new bounty order. Not only the bounties for the Straw Hats increased a lot, but also the bounties for Luffy and Trafalgar Law.
Gold has reached an astonishing amount of 500 million berries.
But these are nothing compared to Heather's brand new reward notice.
【Thunder Disaster】Heather, extremely dangerous, no matter life or death!
