Pirate: It's reasonable for a pirate like me to look for treasure.

The two of them fell to the ground, but the two of them fell to the ground.

Bang!

Vivi landed perfectly and stepped on Sanji. Sanji, who was lying on the ground, still had a heart-shaped look in his eyes. He thought it was the impact of love.

After Vivi came to the boat, she immediately retreated to the edge and even prepared to jump off the boat and escape, but the next second Lake appeared out of thin air and grabbed his wrist.

When Vivi saw Lake, fear filled her body again, but before she could do anything, Lake threw her to Nami.

Nami, who didn't react, instinctively supported Vivi. When Vivi saw the orange-haired girl next to her, her vigilance also dropped a lot.

After that, Lake said to Nami: "Nami, take her to the cabin to talk. You girls should be able to communicate better."

Although Nami didn't understand the situation, she still listened to Lake and pulled Vivi into the cabin. Before entering, she didn't forget to warn Lake.

"You'd better explain to me where this girl came from, otherwise you're dead, Lake!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut. Lake swallowed his saliva and pretended nothing happened. At this time, his friends gathered around to ask about the situation.

Zoro: "What kind of terrifying ability did you copy? You can actually turn into wind."

Sanji: "What! So you were dragging that beautiful girl the whole time...Ah! Lake, I want to duel with you!"

Usopp: "By the way, Lake, who is that person? She looks like she's afraid of you."

Luffy: "Where is old Sunflower?"

Luffy was not on the same channel as the rest of the people as expected. Lake ignored the excited Sanji and spoke.

"She is one of the people who attacked the whale and caused us to be swallowed. I have already dealt with the other one."

"What?!"

The companions shouted in surprise at the same time. Luffy said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "It turns out to be a bad person!"

Lake shook his head and continued: "But her identity is a bit special. If I am not mistaken, she should be the princess of Alabasta. I have seen her in the newspaper before."

"Princess?!"

The companions shouted again in surprise. Luffy said again with a look of understanding: "What~ is a good person."

Lake continued to explain: "Although I don't know why a princess of a country appears here, the guy who acts with her is an agent from a killer organization."

This time, before the companions were surprised, Luffy spoke again with an angry look: "Is it still a bad person!"

Zoro on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to Luffy and said: "You'd better stop talking!"

Lake couldn't reveal too much information, so he said so much and waited for Nami to do a good job of ideological work for Vivi, and then let Vivi explain.

Next, they had to leave this place quickly. After all, there was stomach acid in the sea. If they stayed there for a long time, the Merry would be corroded.

Usopp immediately found the old man Sunflower. He had just gone to give the whale a sedative. After the old man came back, he took the Merry out of the whale's body.

Arrived at the place where he lived, which was called the Twin Straits. His name was Crocus, and the name of the whale was Laboo.

Because Luffy was very interested in this whale, Crocus told everyone the story of Laboo.

A long time ago, there was a pirate group called the Rumba Pirates. They decided to enter the Grand Line for adventure. Laboo was brought along by them and was also considered one of their partners.

However, because the Grand Line was too dangerous and Laboo was too young at the time, the Rumba Pirates could only leave Laboo before the Upside-Down Mountain and handed it over to Crocus.

He asked Laboo to wait there for a while, and left these words: "When we go around the world and come back, we can meet again."

In the end, little Laboo stayed with tears in his eyes, waiting for the return of the Rumba Pirates on this side of the Red Earth Continent, but... this wait... was 50 years.

So many vicissitudes of life have changed and passed away in the passing of time. The little whale has become a whale that is bigger and bigger than the island, and there is even an ocean in its body.

Everything in the world has changed, but Laboo is still waiting for his master to come back on this side of the Red Earth Continent.

Because he wanted to see his master, he kept hitting his head against the Red Earth Continent that could never be broken for decades, leaving himself scarred and making sad screams.

This whale, as big as an island, spent every day waiting sadly, and Crocus had been helping Lab to find news about the Rumbar Pirates.

But the final result was that the Rumbar Pirates had already left the Grand Line and would never come back.

Lake knew that this result was a white lie made up by Crocus to prevent Lab from being sad. In fact, the real reason was that the Rumbar Pirates had died in the Grand Line decades ago.

And the only one who survived was the "dead" Brook. The result of the long wait was nothing, and such a wait was endless.

Lake also sighed and looked at Lab, who had been injected with a sedative to calm down, but Lake felt something was wrong.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lake turned his head and saw that the mast of the Merry was gone, and Luffy, the idiot, was rushing towards Lab with the mast.

Lake slapped his head and said in self-blame: "How could I forget this, Luffy!"

Usopp had been dumbfounded for a long time, and his companions were also ashamed, because they didn't know what Luffy was going to do. Soon Luffy and Laboo started fighting.

The mast was inserted into the other person's forehead. Under the eyes of everyone who didn't understand, Luffy suddenly stopped and made a new agreement with Laboo.

At this moment, Luffy's emotional intelligence was directly maxed out. With the new agreement, Laboo was excited with tears in his eyes and made a happy sound. Then Luffy used his amazing artistic attainments.

He drew his own crooked flag on Laboo's head and said: "This is the symbol of our agreement. You must not get rid of it before I come back, understand!"

In this way, Laboo will no longer hit the Red Earth Continent with his head. Lake looked at Luffy who was on Laboo's head and smiled with relief.

The companions were also very satisfied with the result. However, Usopp still rushed to repair it as soon as possible, even though he was not a professional.

But now all the repair work on the ship had to be handed over to him. Seeing this, Lake took the initiative to help. When Usopp was repairing, Lake looked around the Merry.

The brand new look in his memory was already a thing of the past. Although Lake had tried his best to protect the Merry in the circumstances he could foresee, the baptism at sea was still inevitable.
