Chapter 405 A Huge Pale Golden Light and Shadow
"Are you sure everything's okay?"
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Chopper, feeling the pirate ship rocking violently, grabbed Zoro by the neck and yelled, "I feel like I'm going to fly out of here!"
Normally, Xiyan's Water Release Technique should be very stable, so why is it shaking so violently this time?
"Although it's shaking quite a bit, but..." Xi Yan, who had used chakra to fix himself to the pirate ship, looked up at Bai Long and said, "The water dragon won't be destroyed, so don't worry."
As long as the water jet isn't destroyed, the coating won't have any problems.
"That's good." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief.
Zoro: —
Not good at all; he felt a little short of breath.
"Chopper".
Zoro managed to say with difficulty, "Grab my arm, not my neck."
"Okay, sure."
Upon hearing this, Chopper instinctively released his grip and flew away.
Chopper: ? ? ?
Zoro: —
Seeing Chopper fly towards Perona, Zoro was completely silenced.
I told you to grab my arm, not to just let go!
Perona, with a smile, raised her hand and caught Chopper as he flew towards her, then hugged him tightly in her arms.
"I'm...I'm saved."

"Hey, Nami!" Merry, nestled in Nico Robin's arms, looked up at Nami and called out, "Are we going to be swept away to some faraway place by this weird sea current?"
Robin just said that this thing could send the ship to a very, very far place.
"If we can't escape the White Dragon Current, we will indeed be teleported to a very far place," Nami said, using her ability to immobilize herself. "But the Western Flame's Water Release technique can carry us out, so that won't happen."
After speaking, Nami paused for a moment, then looked up at Xiyan standing at the bow of the ship and called out, "Xiyan, haven't you found Luffy and Sanji yet?"
"I am not the original body, so I don't know the situation over there either," west Yan replied.
If it is a shadow clone that goes this time, the original body will have a chance to receive the information transmitted back by the shadow clone.
Unfortunately... he was just a shadow clone, so he couldn't see what was happening on the other side.
"Don't worry," Franky said, "Western Flame will definitely find Luffy and Sanji."
Just then, Franky, who was lying on the bow of the ship, noticed an enormous pale golden light and shadow appear outside the water dragon, which looked like a giant.
And that giant's size... was at least over a hundred meters!
"What is that?" Franky wondered to himself.
Why does it look like a giant?
Could it be that the bald sea monster we encountered before has caught up with us?
But that doesn't make sense; the other color isn't light gold...
"Could it be something that was swept in by this White Dragon Current?" Franky wondered to himself.
It's not impossible.
Franky then planned to tell his companions about his discovery, but before he could speak, he found that the pale golden shadow had disappeared.
Franky: ? ? ?
That's all?
The next moment.
"boom!!"
"west Yan!"
"Luffy!"
"Sanji!"
Seeing the three figures rushing in from outside the water dragon, everyone's faces immediately lit up with surprise.
"I'm... I'm saved..." Luffy said, sticking out his tongue. "I thought I was going to die."
Sanji also looked like he was in a real pain, and his lips were trembling.
west Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually relaxed.
"Thank goodness you're finally back," Nami said.
"Although the process was a bit tortuous, we're finally back," west Yan said.
After saying that, west Yan turned to look at the shadow clone and said, "We can break out now."
"profound!"
The shadow clone nodded upon receiving the order, then activated the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and rushed out of the white dragon, quickly escaping the extremely powerful ocean current and arriving in the distance.
After confirming that the pirate ship would not be taken away again, the shadow clone and the water dragon disappeared from the spot.
Once Nami could no longer see any trace of Haku, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Things have finally stabilized..."
Nico Robin frowned and looked at Luffy and Sanji, saying, "Why are their water-style techniques gone?"
Upon hearing this, the others also realized what was going on.
The thin membrane that Luffy and his crew used to have is gone!
"We were swept away..." Sanji said with a grim expression, "After entering the super current, we both felt an incredibly terrifying tearing force."
"Soon afterward, the thin membrane on my body disappeared."
That's why he looked so pale; he was really on the verge of death!
As for Luffy?
Although he was holding this guy tightly, because he was a Devil Fruit user, he drank water faster than him.
"Then you two..."
"Don't worry, we're all fine," Sanji said. "Shortly after the membranes on our bodies disappeared, Xiyan came looking for us."
It's fortunate that this is the case, otherwise the two of them would definitely have been killed by the ocean current!
"It's fortunate that you two have monstrous physiques, otherwise you would definitely have been killed by the ocean currents," Nami said.
Upon hearing Nami's words, Sanji and Luffy both showed expressions of relief.
Yes, thankfully they're strong enough...
"Ah...it feels so good to be alive..." Luffy said, lying on the ground. "Sanji, I want to eat!"
Sanji:
Sanji's lips twitched slightly as he listened to Luffy's words, and then he said, "You really never forget to eat, do you?"
"Okay, I'll go after I have a smoke."
After saying that, Sanji shakily reached into his pocket, intending to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.
But when he reached into his pocket, he realized something was wrong.
Where are my cigarettes?
Am I angry?
"Where did everything go?" Sanji asked, frowning.
"It must have been swept away by the ocean currents," west Yan guessed.
Being swept away by such a terrifying ocean current for so long, it's already quite fortunate that we only lost our lighter and fire.
At least the person is still alive.
"Stolen..."
Sanji's lips twitched slightly. Why did it have to be these two things that were taken away?
After a moment of silence, Sanji stood up and said, "Never mind, let's go back to the cabin and change our clothes first."
I went back inside to get a new lighter and cigarettes.
While thinking, Sanji grabbed the lying-down Luffy and got up to walk towards the cabin.
"Hey, why are you grabbing me?"
"Of course I'm going to change my clothes, you rascal," Sanji said irritably.
The ocean currents have made us look like this, how can we not change our clothes?
"oh.."
Seeing this, west Yan smiled, then turned to Nami and said, "We should have been swept quite a distance away, are you alright?"
If there's a problem, he'll use water-based escape techniques to propel the pirate ship forward.
As for the underwater scenery?
Compared to life, scenery is secondary.
Nami glanced at the Log Pose in her hand instinctively, then said, "It should be fine."
Although it rushed out quite far, it shouldn't have reached the height of the upwelling current, so there's no problem.
"That's good."
west Yan nodded, then walked to the side and sat down, saying, "That's good."
Just then, a deafening roar came from afar, startling Chopper so much that he jumped up.
"What...what's wrong now?!" Chopper asked in a terrified voice.
Did they encounter some terrifying sea monster?
No way!
Nami, as if struck by a sudden realization, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "That voice..."
Why does it sound a bit like Laboon's bark?
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Luffy and Sanji, having changed their clothes, rushed out, asking anxiously, "What happened now?"
"Let me see."
Having reached a high point on the pirate ship, Xi Yan squinted at the side and said, "That's... a group of enormous island whales!"
That's strange, why didn't I notice these big guys earlier?
Could it be... that the other side just charged at us from behind the pirate ship?
It's not impossible.
"It really is an island whale!"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Nami knew she hadn't misheard; that sound was indeed the roar of an island whale.
Brooke, his body trembling, said, "Island whale..."
Is Raab here?
Thinking about this, Brooke became somewhat excited.
"I don't know why you know such a huge creature, but don't you think we're moving to the side right now?" Perona said, pointing to the side.
The pirate ship has been turning around since just now.
"Really?" Chopper asked doubtfully, "I didn't feel anything."
"This shouldn't be happening normally..."
After speaking, Nami paused for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, looked up at Xi Yan and said, "Are those island whales heading this way?"
"Yes."
west Yan nodded and said, "They are approaching us."
"That makes sense then..." Nami said, biting her lip.
"What do you mean?"
"If there are enough island whales, they can cause a major ocean current," Nami said.
This is also why their pirate ship was spinning.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
When the massive pod of whales appeared in her field of vision, Mary was completely stunned.
Can ocean currents be generated using the power of the physical body?
Is this the power of island whales?
It was at this moment that the Thousand Sunny was affected by the ocean currents and was pulled into the group of island whales, sailing forward with them.
Seeing this, Perona frowned and asked, "Nami, what should we do?"
Being led along by so many enormous creatures... I hope something bad will happen.
"Meili, Yang Fan!"
"profound!"
Although she didn't know why the sails needed to be raised, Meili obediently lowered the sails of the Thousand Sunny.
"Hey, hey, hey, Nami!"
Seeing the sail lowered, Usopp exclaimed, "Why are you lowering the sail? You're not planning to go with the whale, are you?"
Although seeing the Labu tribe was a pleasant surprise, he didn't want to hide in the sea with them.
"That's right, I'm going with them!" Nami nodded naturally.
Usopp: ? ? ?
Why?
Perhaps sensing Usopp's confusion, Nami explained, "Island whales are special fish that need to surface to breathe, so we just need to follow them to reach the ocean in the New World."
"Don't we need upwelling currents anymore?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they'll encounter an upwelling current soon," Nami said. "So following them is the right thing to do."
Rather than slowly searching for the upwelling current on her own, she preferred to go with these guys.
As for whether doing this will be dangerous...
With west Yan around, what kind of danger could possibly arise in the ocean?
"Then it's decided!" Luffy waved his hand and said, "Merry, let's go for them!"
"profound!"
"We're already here..." Perona retorted.
They've already been pulled by the ocean currents into the middle of the island's whale pods; what's the point of talking about moving forward now?
"Hey, look!" Luffy pointed to a huge whale to the side and said, "That scar... it's exactly the same as Laboon's!"
"Could he be Raab?!"
"Is that really Laboon?!" Brooke exclaimed excitedly. "I can't believe he's grown so much..."
"Hey, Labour, it's me!"
"You two, stop talking nonsense," Usopp said. "Laboon should be in the first half of the Grand Line, how could it be here?"
"And...don't forget that Laboon has grown up!"
"Its enormous size means it can't even squeeze through the holes in the Red Earth Continent."
Therefore, he didn't think that big guy would appear here.
After all... Labs is really too big.
"But why do even the scars look so similar?" Luffy said. "Isn't it Laboon?"
This looks exactly like Laboon!
"No." Nami shook her head, then pointed to the side and said, "Didn't you notice that several whales have similar scars?"
"Really...!"
Why is this happening?
"Could it be that these big guys all have a habit of crashing into rocks?" Zoro wondered.
What is the purpose of doing this?
"Perhaps these are traces left from a battle with other sea kings," west Yan guessed. "Or perhaps they collided with landmasses or rocks while swimming in the deep sea."
Only in this way can these big guys develop scars similar to those on Laboon.
"Hmm, that's possible."
Listening to west Yan's explanation, Suo Le nodded in deep agreement, clearly agreeing with west Yan's words.
Only in this way can we explain why the other party has become like this.
"Hey, it's me, Laboon!" Brook cried out, "I'm Brook from the Rumbar Pirates!"
"Listen to me!"
"Calm down, Brook!" Usopp grabbed Brook, who was about to rush forward, and said, "Everyone said you mistook Whale Mang for someone else. Laboon isn't here!"
"That big guy is still at Twin Gorges!"
"Not here...not here..."
Brook, who was being held by Usopp, seemed to understand what Munger meant, and lowered his head to say, "Yes, this is Laboon's hometown..."
After saying that, Brooke fell silent for a moment, then excitedly shouted again, "Hey, are any of his relatives here?"
"Are you looking for the baby whale that went missing from the pod fifty years ago?" Brooke shouted. "Don't worry, he's living a good life in another part of the sea!"
"I heard from Luffy that he's grown incredibly big now, about the same size as you guys!"
"So...so please don't worry!"
As he spoke, Brooke burst into tears, his expression even more agitated than before.
"They...seemed to understand Mang..."
Seeing the island whales fixing their gaze on them, Nico Robin looked surprised and said, "
They're watching us!
"Island whales can understand human speech!" Sanji said with a smile.
That's why Luffy was able to make that promise with Laboon.
"You keep talking about Laboon, Laboon..." Perona, standing nearby, looked curiously at the island whales and asked, "What exactly is Laboon...?"
"Ah, Laboon is the whale we encountered at the Arrow Well in the Grand Line," Sole explained. "He went there with Brook and the others fifty years ago."
Then, Sole explained to Perona why Laboon in Mangbing was there, and also told her the story between Brook and Laboon in Mangbing.
"Wow, this story is so touching!" Perona said, her eyes brimming with tears.
The promise to abide by each other's fifty-year vows... that's really touching!
Thinking of this, Perona's tears welled up.
"Wow, Suo Le, their story is so touching!"
Sole wiped away the tears that had sprayed onto his face with a hint of helplessness, then smiled and nodded, which could be considered as agreement with Mangperona's words.
"Lord Moria isn't necessarily waiting for me!" Perona clenched her fist and said, "Wait for me, Lord Moria!"
No matter how much time passes, no matter how far away, she will find Lord Moria!
Luffy chuckled upon hearing this, then seemed to notice something amiss and asked in confusion, "Eh?"
"Where's Brooke?"
"He's there."
west Yan looked up at the lookout tower of Wanli Yangguang and said, "I just ran up there."
"Brook..."
Seeing Brooke take out the violin from the high place, everyone was stunned at first, then as if they understood what was going on, their eyes lit up.
"Yohohohoho"
"Yo-ho yo-ho~"
"Yo ho ho ho ho!"
"Binks' fine wine..."
Upon hearing Brook's singing, the Straw Hat Pirates immediately burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, the enormous group of whales around them gradually approached Wanli Yangguang, their faces also displaying human-like smiles, clearly showing their great fondness for Brooke's singing.
Then, the enormous island, Whale-like, swam over and gently placed the vast sunlight on its head to support the radiance.
"Hey, he's lifting us up! Wow!" Luffy, leaning against the side of the ship, exclaimed excitedly, looking at the whale below. "So cool!"
"Let them lead us there," Nami laughed. "I reckon it won't take long before we're on the high seas of the New World."
"A new world, huh..."
Looking up at Merry high above, he said with a beggar's expression, "The last stretch of sea in the Grand Line..."
"What a beggar!"
After they conquer the New World... Luffy will be the Pirate King!
Thinking of this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
"Hey everyone, hurry to Mang!"
Looking up at Xiyan in the sky, he grinned and said, "I can already see the sea surface."
Perhaps without the help of Mangduojiao, they can reach the new world of Mang!
"So fast?" Usopp exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, Mang," west Yan said. "Don't forget, Mang, who are we traveling with!"
Traveling alongside such a massive behemoth... isn't it normal to be going fast?
A moment later...
"boom!!"
With a deafening roar, the Thousand Sunny, along with the island whales, burst out of the sea and arrived at the so-called new world of Munna.
"Aww!!"
At this moment, a hundred whales roared in unison!
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha"
"We have finally arrived at the New World, Mang!"
"profound!!"
Then, Meli activated the power of the wind, lifting the pirate ship in mid-air and sending it drifting forward.
"Hey, Laboon's family!" Usopp shouted, looking down at the pod of whales. "Once we see Laboon..."
And I will definitely tell him about your situation!
"That's right!" Brooke cried out, "We will definitely pass on the message to Raab's family!"
"Everyone, please accept my apologies!"
Luffy shouted, "Thank you all for taking care of Mang, everyone!"
"Aww!"
Upon hearing the shouts of the group, the island whales immediately smiled, their eyes gleaming, and they also let out a low, gleaming growl.
Then, these large creatures returned to the vast ocean and disappeared.
"No awns are visible..."
Looking at the lost island whales, Melly said, "Are they going back to their home, Mang?"
As she spoke, Mei used her power to put the pirate ship back onto the vast ocean.
"Maybe," west Yan said.
I wonder if these creatures, like sea kings, might have their own nests.
"Hey everyone, isn't this weather a bit too harsh?" Qiao Long, looking up at the sky, said, "Lightning and thunder..."
"Because this is the New World!" Nami exclaimed. "The harshness of the environment is far more exaggerated than the first half of the Grand Line!"
This is why this place is called the pirate graveyard.
Many pirates can't even reach the islands they visit!
"Hey everyone, I see a ship's shadow!" Perona shouted.
"Are they pirates?"
Sanji grinned and said, "They actually came to us on their own initiative..."
Are they trying to make a name for themselves with their Straw Hat Pirates?
What a daring fellow!
"No, it's not pirates," Usopp exclaimed, his eyes wide. "It's a warship!"
"Isn't this number of warships a bit excessive?"
Usopp was dumbfounded as he looked at the fleet of warships that surrounded them.
This is even more exaggerated than the Buster Call we encountered before!
"They know exactly where we are..." Nico Robin said. "Truly worthy of the Navy!"
It seems there are people belonging to the Navy on Fishman Island.
Xi Yan frowned and said, "Could it be that I unleash a burst of light?"
Otherwise, the navy wouldn't have sent so many warships to encircle and annihilate them.
"Then let them all chop off the awns!"
Suo Li drew out three of Mang's weapons, his eyes turning cold, clearly ready for Mang to make a move.
"There's no need for that," west Yan said, shaking his head. "Just let Mei Li use her abilities to take us out, Mang."
Fighting so many warships on the open sea would be a disadvantage, so let's leave here first.
"That's right, Merry can take us out!" Usopp said, clenching his fist.
How could he forget about the mango?
west Yan was speechless upon hearing this. So, what exactly was this guy looking at just now?
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Qiao Long shouted.
Otherwise, their pirate ship would have been destroyed by the navy's cannons.
"There's no need for that!"
"Um?"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing Nami's voice, then turned to look at her in confusion and asked, "Nami, what did you say?"
What do you mean by "it's unnecessary"?
They are now surrounded by warships.
"Because I suspect this thing is a mirage," Nami said.
"A mirage?"
west Yan was stunned upon hearing this, then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to see the situation in front of him, before being silenced by Mangekyou.
Indeed... it's a mirage.
Just then, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse, allowing the sunlight to shine through.
Then, the shadows of those warships began to lose their luster.
"It really is a mirage!" Perona exclaimed in surprise.
Why are there so many mirages here?
Joron and Usopp, however, said with feigned relief, "So it was just a mirage after all~"
"Wang Hao Mango".
It's fine as long as it's fake.
"Don't get too excited," Nami said. "If I'm not mistaken, this area should be..."
Nami stopped speaking before she could finish, because she noticed a huge water droplet appearing in the air!
"Hey, what the hell is that?!"
Franky's eyes bulged in shock as he stared at the water droplet, which was even larger than a pirate ship.
"What kind of weather is this?!"
"boom!!"
At that moment, a large number of water droplets appeared around the Mang Wanli Sunshine Pavilion, causing the sea surface to shake violently and almost throwing the people on the ship off.
"This is the Mobejamru Sea," Nami shouted, clinging tightly to the hull. "Also known as the Unhappy Sea."
"In other words, this place will experience a continuous stream of all sorts of bizarre weather events!!"
"For example, that one."
Chopper was stunned as he watched the water droplets turn into giant hailstones.
"Quickly, smash the awns down!"
"Leave it to me!" west Yan shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Susanoo's pale gold armor appeared on Xiyan's body, and then he picked up his spear and slashed at the source!
"Clang!"
"boom!!"
With a combined attack, they shattered all the oncoming ice balls!
"What is this? It's so cool!" Joron and Usopp exclaimed excitedly.
Does Xiyan actually have this ability?
Others who had never seen west Yan's ability before also showed surprise, clearly not expecting west Yan to have such methods. At this moment, Franky also realized what he had just seen was the light.
All that fuss was something west Yan summoned!!
"My ability is..." west Yan said, looking at everyone. "Yes..."
"Hey, now's not the time for explanations," Perona said, pointing high up. "Here comes another 'mango'!"
Upon hearing this, west Yan immediately raised his spear, intending to smash the oncoming hailstones.
But when he saw what it was, he was stunned.
"Snow... an avalanche?" Xi Yan asked incredulously, "Why would an avalanche happen from the sky?"
Isn't this weather a bit outrageous?
"Everyone says this is the Sea of Unhappiness!" Nami shouted. "Quick, think of something!"
"Leave it to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Merry flew into the air, spread her scorching arms, and shouted, "Wind Barrier!"
"With a whoosh, an enormous wall of wind appeared in the sky above the vast expanse of sunlight, forcibly stopping the avalanche."
Then, Meili waved her hand, throwing the avalanche into the sea far away.
"boom!!"
"Well done, Mary!"
"hey-hey"
Hearing the charm of praise, he immediately smiled.
Xi Yan looked at Mei Li with a somewhat annoyed expression and said, "Wind Barrier..."
I don't think I told Meryl the story about locking up that broomstick...
Did she come up with this move name herself?
"Hey, it's raining again!" Perona shouted.
"It's raining..." Brooke looked up at the sky and said, "If it's just ordinary rain..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt the pirate ship shake violently.
Then... the pirate ship raised its lights.
Everyone: ? ? ?
"Hey, why are the pirate ship's awns standing up?"
"It's Dahai Heng Kai Mang!"
"Dahai Heng mangoes?" Qiao Long exclaimed in shock. "No, aren't these mangoes a bit too overpowering?"
Isn't it said that only the weather changes when it comes to mangoes? Why does the ocean also change?
"Hey, are we going to end up back in the deep sea again...?" Brook exclaimed in shock, looking down at the ocean. "Is it possible to go back to Fishman Island?"
"No, that won't happen," Nico Robin said calmly. "We'll run into rocks on the way and turn into dust in the ocean."
Usopp was dumbfounded when he saw Nico Robin's calm expression.
"I'm begging you, Mang, could you please not say such terrifying things with such a calm face..."
This mango is terrifyingly bright!
"Hahaha, what an interesting sea!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth. "Is there anything else that's going to be interesting?"
"Damn it, is this the time to worry about this?" Nami roared, opening her shark-like mouth. "The most important thing is to find a way to escape!"
If they stay here, even the pirate ship will be in danger.
So... we have to break out of here!
Thinking of this, Nami shouted, "Merry, quick, get out of there!"
"profound!"
Upon hearing Nami's words, Merry nodded, then activated her ability to lift up the Thousand Sunshine, quickly rushing upwards and soon escaping the vast ocean of sunlight.
"call.."
"Finally escaped Mang," Usopp said, exasperated.
That feeling of being crushed by the sea at any moment... it was absolutely awful!
"Now's not the time for Matsui to be angry!" Nami shouted. "Merry, quick, take off and veer to the side!"
"profound!"
"Yohohohoho"
Looking at the approaching dark clouds, Brooke laughed and said, "Won't we get struck by lightning flying this high?"
"How could this be? We..."
Before Usopp could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Thousand Sunny squarely with a "crack."
"boom!!"
"Brook, you jinx!!"
"bump!"
"I'm...I'm sorry."
