Pirates: Ninjas On The Straw Hats

Luffy and Nami decided to follow the traces on the ground to see if they could find Xin or Abis.

They climbed over mountains and rivers all the way, and Luffy even used a suspension bridge at a certain cliff. He didn't know how the owner of the trace got across.

The two followed the traces and came to a cave in a dense forest. In the darkness, they heard an unclear quarrel:

"Why are you here!?"

"Of course for immortality!!"

"Ahhhh!!! You are not allowed to hurt Mr. Long!!"

"Those are the voices of Xin and Abis."

Nami roughly guessed who was inside. Luffy had already entered the hole. She hurriedly followed. The forest at night was quite scary:

"Wait for me Luffy."

"Xin! Abis! Are you playing games?"

"Um?"

Xin, who pretended to be fierce, turned around in confusion. He thought that others would come looking for him, but he didn't expect that Luffy, an idiot, would actually come looking for him.

"Oh~ Nami is following too, that's normal."

"What are you doing? Is that the Millennium Dragon?"

The scene in front of her made Nami a little confused. Behind Xin was a big package, and in front of her was Abis who looked wary.

Behind Abis, there was a strange creature lying with blue-grey hair. Its huge body filled the entire cave. The strange thing was that a bunch of hair seemed to be burnt.

The originally ferocious dragon head lost its majestic aura due to his bald head and dull eyes. The posture of lying tightly on the ground shows that this creature is close to the limit of life.

"This is...the Millennium Dragon?"

"Yeah?"

As soon as Luffy came in, he was attracted by the big package, because it was filled with pork buns, which was the biggest thing in the world. He didn't look at the environment and just started eating.

Hearing Nami's exclamation, he looked up and his eyes immediately turned golden:

"So handsome!!!"

"do not come!!"

Luffy stepped forward and wanted to touch him up close, but was blocked by Abis. He pouted and muttered:

"So stingy~"

"I really misjudged you, I thought you were kind-hearted pirates!!"

"Wait a minute, is there any misunderstanding?"

Nami tried to adjust the atmosphere and followed Abis' line of sight to look at the innocent-looking hedgehog:

"letter?"

Xin sighed and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender:

"You're kidding, Abis."

"Really...really?"

"Can't you understand the voices of animals? Let Mr. Long tell you."

Abis withdrew to Long Ye's side with hesitation, and activated the fruit power. She didn't know what Long Ye said, but Abis kept nodding her head and looked at the letter with strange eyes.

The letter made me feel uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Long Ye said you are not a bad person, and you haven't done anything to him since you've been here for a long time."

"Yeah, I just said it was a joke."

"Long Ye also said that you should not set fireballs in the cave next time. The hair on his back has been burnt a lot."

"I was afraid that Mr. Long would be too cold and put a fireball to warm him up, but I didn't control the power well!"

"Master Long also asks you to speak less. He has never seen such a talkative person. He can talk for a long time to a creature that cannot communicate."

"Master Long, can't you understand what I'm saying? What I said about "Calabash Baby vs. Gundam" was pretty good!"

"Master Long said it sucks."

Visible to the naked eye, the originally proud hedgehog's mood suddenly dropped, and it seemed as if a light rain fell on his head.

Seeing that the two of them had resolved their misunderstanding, Luffy eagerly climbed on Master Long's body and ran around, wanting to touch this cool creature all over his body.

Master Long just looked at Luffy with half-open eyes, and Luffy gradually calmed down, as if he understood what Master Long was saying:

"Suga, you want to go back to your hometown."

"Long Ye said that he is willing to be friends with you. He can see that you are a good person."

"Me and me."

"If you keep your mouth shut."

"Oh~"

Nobu came over excitedly, then walked back to Nami's feet in frustration, hugging his knees and squatting down, feeling completely lost.

After sending away the hedgehog who was joining in the fun, Abis curiously asked Luffy:

"How do you know Master Long's wish?"

"It depends on feeling."

"What an unreliable reason~"

Nami couldn't help complaining and patted the missing hedgehog on the head.

"It was an autumn day. I was picking flowers on the hillside, and there was a voice in the wind. It was a sad voice that I had never heard before."

"I followed the sound and found the Dragon Lord in the cave. At that time, the Dragon Lord was not energetic at all. He said he was separated from his companions;"

"After that, I searched for the Lost Island where the dragon's lair is located alone."

"Although the Lost Island sank a long time ago, Master Long said it would rise again. It's almost time now, but Master Long doesn't know the specific location of the Dragon Cave."

"It is also old and has lost the ability to fly. Although I want to help, I have no idea where the island is."

"So I asked Marine who happened to be here for information, but I really asked the wrong person. They had been looking for the keel, so they arrested me at that time."

"What is the dragon bone?"

Nami asked a question in time, and the hedgehog-headed teacher thoughtfully answered:

"The bones of the Thousand-Year Dragon are said to be able to make the elixir of life."

"Yeah! They arrested me and asked about the Thousand-Year Dragon. Maybe because I brought the dragon tooth that Master Long gave me, they determined that I knew about the Thousand-Year Dragon."

"Although I know it's difficult, I really want to help Mr. Long return home. Mr. Long also said that as long as he returns to the dragon's lair, he will regain his energy."

"So, no matter how many years it takes, I will find the Lost Island."

"Yoshi, let's help you too!"

After listening to the story, Luffy expressed his attitude with a smile.

"But to find an island that doesn't exist on the map, it's still an island that has sunk."

“Isn’t it right to make it feel more adventurous this way!?”

Xin took over the conversation from the side, and Luffy nodded vigorously, his tone full of excitement and excitement:

"The legendary Lost Island!! I don't know what kind of adventures are waiting for us!!!"

"Alas~"

Nami held his forehead and sighed, but quickly cheered up again. After all, he was a navigator:

"Then go, I will definitely deliver you!"

"Now that the decision has been made, Lord Long must cheer up."

Luffy took a bun and handed it to Mr. Long’s mouth:

"Come and eat."

Seeing Long Ye open his mouth wide and bite Luffy's entire upper body into his mouth, Abis then added:

"Master Long is a bit demented."

"Hahaha~ Let's eat too, I'm going to starve to death."

Ignoring the tragedy, the captain walked towards the package brought by Abis, but the package seemed a bit flat:

"This? There's not a single one left!!"

"Huh!? That's a share for all of us!!"

"Xin~save me."

"Excuse yourself with death, you idiot captain!"
