This is a prison, a prison quarry, and a weapons factory.
Wearing shackles containing deadly mechanisms, the prisoners tried their best to carry the huge quarried stones, or worked in the extremely hot iron smelting plant.
"Open the door! It's the guys from the Kidd Pirates, they're here with the [prisoners]."
With the dull sound of gears turning, the huge iron door of Rabbit Bowl Prison slowly opened.
Kira walked in first, followed by the Kidd Pirates and the Straw Hats with shackles on their hands.
"You are the 'Killing Warrior' Kira who was transferred by Hawkins... Why are you the only one who has come back? Where are the Hawkins people? Who are these [prisoners]?"
SMILE The elephant-like warden Babanuki stands in the center of the square, his huge size is extremely intimidating.
"Hawkins was defeated, and the culprits were these prisoners. And you must have heard of their names - [The Straw Hats]."
Kira's face is hidden behind a metal mask, making it unpredictable.
"The Straw Hats... are they the pirates that Lord Heather wants to capture!?" Babanuki recalled for a moment, and then he was shocked.
Chopper, the Straw Hat crew's ship's doctor, now has a very high status. Although he is a prisoner under the surveillance of the Beast Pirates, his living standard can be said to be everything he wants.
Not to mention Navigator Nami, she is now Lord Heather's only personal maid, and her status can be said to be higher than that of an ordinary real fighter.
If what Kira said is true, then this boy has made great achievements!
Thinking of this, Babanuki felt envious and jealous. This was the person Master Heather personally named to arrest. This kid Kira was really lucky!
Taking out the snail of wisdom, Babanuki planned to report the matter directly to Heather, but was stopped by Kira.
The two came to the corner, and Kira said in a deep voice: "Let me put it bluntly, Babanuki Warden Hawkins was killed, and I, as his named bodyguard, cannot absolve myself of the blame for capturing someone as big as the Straw Hats."
I definitely can’t take the credit alone.”
"...You don't want to share the credit with me, do you? Why don't I believe in this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing?" Babanuki looked naive, but he is not stupid.
"I only have one request, and that is to release Kidd. Nowadays, the Beast Pirates are so powerful that they can't afford to stare at a non-animal pirate like Kidd, right?"
Kira raised her thumb and pointed towards the Straw Hats behind her:
"You will take all the credit. When the Golden Kagura Ceremony is held, the Straw Hats will be presented to you in front of the Beasts Pirates and BIGMOM Pirates. The vacant position in [Flying Six Cells] is 100% yours."
At that time, you can help me say a few nice words to Lord Kaid and Lord Heather while they are happy. I believe it will not be difficult to release Kidd. Everyone will get what they need, what do you think?"
"...Hide it first?" Babanuki hesitated.
"The good news is that it's not too late. Isn't the Golden Kagura Ceremony tomorrow? The Straw Hats have already been captured anyway, so they don't care to wait for a long time."
Kira said coaxingly:
"What you are saying now is that the impact of the two personally bringing the Straw Hats as a gift during the Golden Kagura Ceremony is completely different. If I were you, I would hide the news until tomorrow's ceremony as a surprise.
"
Babanuki looked at Kira and asked after a long time: "Are you sure you want to give all the credit to me? Aren't you going to spill the beans?"
"I'm going to let you take the lion's share, not give it all to you. Don't be too greedy. At least mention our names and hard work in front of Master Heather, Warden Babanuki." Kira's voice revealed a little bit.
dissatisfied.
"...Okay! That's it!"
Babanuki thought about it again and again, and felt that it could be done, so he made the decision:
"Isn't it just to release Kidd? That kid is as weak as a dead dog now. Neither Master Heather nor Master Kaido are interested in him. This can be done. What should we do if the superiors ask about Hawkins?"
"That depends on your ability, Warden Babanuki."
Kira spread his hands: "You can't just take the biggest advantage without doing anything, right? Let's talk about it first. If I can't hide it, I will tell the truth to the boss."
Babanuki frowned and began to rack his brains to think about how to hide it from the ghost island.
That's right, Kira's plan is very simple. By escorting the prisoners to safely break through the heavily guarded Rabbit Bowl Prison, when he finds an opportunity to lock all the Straw Hats together, he will then directly attack and kill all the guards and wardens.
Then he can escape and ascend to heaven, and he can also take advantage of the chaos to rescue Kidd, getting the best of both worlds.
As for the Straw Hats, it is said that everyone is locked by seastone handcuffs, but in fact they are special handcuffs with fake switches, which can be unlocked with a snap.
In order to show her sincerity in cooperation, Kira even agreed to allow Trafalgar Law to take away her heart as a back-up.
"Luffy... look over there!" Robin, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, whispered to Luffy.
Luffy looked up and saw in the distance a giant man wearing sea tower stone handcuffs, panting heavily and trying his best to carry a huge stone.
"Huh? Moonlight Moria?" Usopp was shocked. Such a strong man was also captured by Kaido?
At this time, Kira and Babanuki also came back.
Kira said to Babanuki: "Lock the Straw Hats together so that they can be easily monitored and escorted. Then I'm going to see Kidd. I'll make a deal with you only if I make sure he's still alive."
"It's okay to go see Kidd, but the Straw Hats can't be locked up together."
Babanuki touched the long beard on his chin: "Because the prisoners who came first have been taken to Ghost Island and are under the personal care of Lord Heather."
"What!?"
Not only Kira, the Straw Hats almost shouted after hearing this.
In this case, wouldn't their plan be...
Kira quietly waved his hand to Luo, and then said to Babanuki: "That doesn't matter, they can be reunited tomorrow anyway. By the way, when we escort the Straw Hats tomorrow, we will take Kidd to Onigashima too.
We will leave here directly after Kaido and Heather agree to release Kidd. If there is no problem, I will escort the Straw Hats to the cell first."
"Okay." Babanuki nodded.
After the escort team left the square, Zoro immediately lowered his voice and said: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Curly Eyebrow and the others were imprisoned in the Rabbit Bowl?"
"The situation has changed. I saw your friends in Rabbit Bowl Prison when I was first arrested."
Although the situation has become very troublesome, Kira still maintains a basic calm: "If this is the case, we can only find an opportunity to rescue your companions when Onigashima holds the Golden Kagura Ceremony tomorrow. But the hope is slim.
Please be mentally prepared."
"Why?"
"Because the BIGMOM pirates will also come tomorrow. Yes, another [Yonko] will bring her strongest cadres to Onigashima to hold a wedding that will shock the whole world!
"
Kira said word for word:
"The BIGMOM Pirates will marry the Beast Pirates!"
