"There are so many huge animals here!"
Upon landing, Chopper was amazed to see wild beasts, each the size of a small mountain, fighting each other in the jungle.
"And it's quite violent too~"
Robin looked at the bloodshed before him with indifference, his heart unmoved.
"Roar~"
At that moment, a huge lion and scorpion spotted them and roared as they charged toward them.
"God's..."
"Gah~"
No one panicked. Enel was just raising his finger to give them a shock when another Inazuma struck first.
"Wow, Billy, that's amazing!"
It was quite pleased with the admiring gazes of Chopper and the others, and shyly covered its face with its wings.
"A duck... can use God powers?"
Enel was dumbfounded. Aren't all Devil Fruit unique?
"Don't worry about it, Billy's is just a genetic mutation."
Once we get to the New World, we'll see how many people know how to use thunder and fire.
Cifer patted Enel on the shoulder, but of course, he didn't say the rest of his sentence.
"This guy's meat looks delicious!"
While they were chatting, Bonney had already transformed into her adult form, started a fire nearby, and kept swallowing her saliva.
"Hadō #31: Crimson Fire Cannon!"
Finding the roasting process too slow, Nolan fired a fireball that set the beast ablaze.
Everyone sat down and remained there until dinner was served.
"Hey, if you don't come out soon, all the food will be eaten!"
Just as everyone was about to enjoy their meal, Enel suddenly shouted towards the forest behind them.
"Um... I don't really want to eat your barbecue..."
A little girl with pink hair and small feathers like wings on the sides of her arms shyly emerged from behind a big tree.
"So cute~ What's your name?"
Nolan quickly cut off a piece of meat and held it in front of the little girl.
"I'm Shavol... Thank you all~"
With trembling little hands, she took the meat Nolan offered, then hid behind the tree again and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.
While eating, he seemed to remember something, so he stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and hurriedly tried to run away.
"Kid, you came out here probably to find that plant called IQ, right?"
Cifer's words stopped her. Suppressing her fear of so many people, Shavol walked up to Cifer, her whole body trembling.
Do you know where I can find it?
Shavol has been secretly running away from the village these past few days, all for the sake of IQ, because only this plant can be used to extract medicine that can save his grandmother.
"Stay with us, and we can get it tonight."
If I kill Golden Lion tonight, all his stuff will be mine. It's good that the other side has gathered all the pirates together; it saves me the trouble of killing them one by one.
"Then... then I'll stay with you. Could you give me some tonight too... it's for saving Grandma!"
"But... could I go back and talk to my Mother? I'm afraid she'll worry..."
Shavol was terrified; the older brother in front of her didn't seem like a good person at all. But in order to save her grandmother, she chose to risk everything.
"Let's go with little Shavol to see a doctor later! We have a wonderful doctor on our ship!"
Nolan crouched down, hugged Shavol and coaxed him, then pointed to Chopper.
Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy, you idiot!
Chopper blushed, but his hands involuntarily began to flutter.
"The tanuki spoke?!"
The little girl's face turned blue, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Hey~ Hahaha~ Looks like she's still a coward! Let's leave some for her, she seems to want to take it home."
Enel didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since Chopper joined the crew and Bonney turned back into a child, he seemed to have come to enjoy taking care of these cute little devils.
When Shavol opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on a duck with a talking raccoon, moving towards the direction of existence.
"You're awake!"
As soon as Chopper spoke, Shavol's face turned pale again.
"Wait! Don't be afraid, I'm not a raccoon dog, I'm a reindeer! Look, I have antlers..."
After saying that, Chopper began to show off his antlers, completely unaware that Shavol was on the verge of falling into a coma.
"What is Chopper saying? Seriously~"
Nolan picked up Shavol and took her hand as they walked slowly.
Bonney, who was holding a piece of meat in both hands and chewing non-stop, immediately transformed back into her original form and handed her a piece of meat.
"It... it's gotten smaller..."
Shavol took the roast meat with trembling hands, feeling like crying.
She felt as if she had encountered a group of monsters.
"Chopper, Billy, it's time to stuff your noses."
While Shavol was in a coma, Cifer had already told them about a plant that grew near the village.
That stuff will have a smell they can't stand, so they should prepare nasal plugs in advance.
At this point, both of them followed Cifer's advice and stuffed their noses before continuing on their way.
"This place is so beautiful~ If only it weren't for those violent wild beasts~"
Nolan remarked that he was usually at sea and never had the chance to take such a leisurely stroll through the jungle.
"By the way, Cifer seems to know a lot about this place? I always get the feeling that you know everything."
Robin was very curious; it seemed like there was nothing in the world that could be kept from his captain.
"Because my eyes can see into the past and the future."
Cifer was spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"Amazing!"
"Gah~"
Only Chopper and Billy were fooled by these words, their eyes filled with admiration.
"So, back in Water Seven, you also foresaw my defeat?"
Lucci suddenly remembered the last words Cifer said to him there.
It gives you a feeling of being in complete control.
"Pretty much, it's just that I noticed you guys seem to be at odds with the CP9 commander."
After all, Cifer didn't know if things would develop as the plot would.
He said those words simply to see what they would choose in that situation, and whether they would go back to be the World Government's lackeys.
"Then... could you please tell me how long it will take for my grandma to get better...?"
Shavol shook off Nolan's warm hand, followed Cifer's steps, and gently tugged at his trouser leg.
"As long as Shavol cheers up, your grandmother will recover quickly."
As long as you have IQ, that disease is not a problem at all.
Cifer bent down and patted her little head, suddenly thinking of that little girl Joni, wondering if she would turn into a tomboy if she followed Sakazuki around.
"Okay! I'll be happy!"
Children are easily fooled; they perk up instantly.
"Speaking of which, why do these things grow on Shavol's arms?"
Robin finally couldn't contain her curiosity. Although it was a floating island, it seemed to float because of the Golden Lion's power.
They are not residents of the Sky Island, and the Skypieans have wings on their backs.
"This?"
Shavol revealed his tiny wings.
"Mother said it's because we all long to fly freely like birds!"
