I've Captured the Mink Tribe! Laugh Tale!

Another intruder has arrived!

The news spread like wildfire throughout the country in the shortest possible time.

The country, which had just been invaded a few days earlier, suddenly became restless.

Although the Duke had mobilized the army, all the civilians with fighting ability also spontaneously began to take action.

The Mokomo Dukedom doesn't have a large population, but it can basically be described as a nation where everyone is a soldier.

Adult Mink Tribe generally possess considerable fighting ability and strong physical strength. Combined with their ability to manipulate static electricity, even Mink Tribe who have not undergone combat training can still exert considerable power.

So when the Giant Snail rushed out of the forest, what they saw was a dense, dark mass of people.

Wow! There are so many people!

Bege instinctively stepped forward and gazed at the scene before her.

Because they were standing on the snail's head, they could clearly see the town ahead and the group of warriors blocking its way.

However, it looks really strange; it has a human body shape combined with various animal features.

It resembles the human-beast form of Zoan Fruit user, but is more like a wild beast.

Are these the Mink Tribe?

"Looks like they want to have a good fight with us!"

Teach chuckled.

"Them?"

Doflamingo chuckled, "I remember now, back in Mary Geoise, some of my friends kept these things at home."

Mary Geoise?

Dorry and Brogy couldn't help but glance down at the guy.

What does this mean?

He's from Mary Geoise?

This kid can't possibly be Celestial Dragons, can he?

"Humans!!"

At this moment, Duke Goatse, who was noticeably taller than the other Mink Tribe, stepped forward. He carried a sword and his gaze towards the Giant Snail was unusually hostile.

"What exactly is your purpose in coming here?!"

The Mink Tribe is not an xenophobic people; on the contrary, they warmly welcome well-meaning outsiders.

But these guys in front of us are clearly not here with good intentions!

"Be proud of it, you Mink Tribe."

Dylan raised his voice, "Our Boss, the world's greatest pirate, Lord Roa, desires your power, so he has made an exception and allowed you to join our Calamity Company's ranks."

"Roa? Calamity Company?"

Duke Goatse looked completely bewildered.

I've never even heard of it.

This country is still too poorly informed; it's just too isolated, even News Coo have a hard time finding it.

Of course, not knowing what Roa and the Calamity Company are doesn't prevent Gao-Gao from understanding the meaning behind Dylan's words.

These guys are here to conquer the Mokomo Dukedom!

Upon realizing this, the argali duke instantly flew into a rage.

However, before he could even speak, the bandaged Black Bear next to him began angrily berating him.

"Arrogant humans! We have absolutely no interest in your damn boss and damn company! Go back!"

But.

A fierce glint flashed in Bullet's eyes.

The violent aura surged forth like a giant wave, crushing down on the Mink Tribe ahead.

I said something I absolutely shouldn't have said in front of Bullet.

Teach thought with a touch of wistfulness.

"Hahaha! I'm here too!"

Loki laughed loudly.

The same ferocious Conqueror's Haki surged forth, mixing with Bullet's Conqueror's Haki, and in an instant, it engulfed the Mink Tribe warriors.

The combined power of the two of them had already shattered the ground, reaching the realm of physical destruction.

Under such power, the Mink Tribe warriors collapsed in droves, foaming at the mouth.

Less than half were able to hold on, and among those half, a significant portion were trembling uncontrollably and had almost lost their fighting ability.

Conqueror's Haki, I want that too!

Teach was a little envious.

Bege nudged Doflamingo's leg with his elbow, asking curiously, "Doflamingo, don't you also have Conqueror's Haki?"

Why not use it?

Doflamingo's face stiffened.

His Conqueror's Haki was practically nothing compared to Bullet and Loki.

But-

He glared fiercely at Bege.

With Teach joining their little group, this guy's really gotten a bit out of control!

"This! Conqueror's Haki?!"

Gao-Gao recognized the Conqueror's Haki, which is why he was even more shocked at this moment.

Such an intense level of Conqueror's Haki!

And there were two of them!

What exactly was it about this group that caused his shock to end there?

A dark figure flashed in.

Wow!

His round face was instantly dented by the blow, and a sickening cracking sound echoed through the air.

The Black Bear's round body flew out like a cannonball, knocking away the Mink Tribe along its path and carving a path through them.

"This is what happens when you offend the boss."

Bullet, who launched himself forward in an instant and took down the Mokomo Dukedom's top fighter with a single punch, spoke in a cold voice.

Bill!

Gao-Gao turned around in terror.

Did Bill get instantly killed again?

He had no time to think further; a massive, steel-like hand had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

You have no other choice!

Bullet's tone was cold and hard, "The Boss said he wants your power, so you have to give it to him."

"Your Majesty the Duke!!"

The surrounding Mink Tribe, who still possessed fighting ability, were terrified and instinctively sprang to their aid.

But.

"Hahaha! It's my turn!"

Loki laughed heartily and raised his spiked club, "Try this!"

On the massive spiked club, tiny black lightning Inazuma danced in comparison.

"The Elbaf Spear!! Ikoku Sovereignty!!"

The air was instantly ripped apart by the iron rod, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

At the same time, a powerful white beam of light roared out, instantly piercing through the ranks of the Mink Tribe warriors, blasting everyone along the way away.

"Oh! Not bad!"

Loki nodded in satisfaction.

This move was taught to him by Roa.

It works great!

Before the Mink Tribe could recover from Loki's attack, Abel drew his sword.

The blazing flames shot into the sky in an instant, transforming into Flame Dragon hundreds of meters long, coiling and leaping downwards as if about to attempt a leap.

The Mink Tribe, covered in hair, were terrified of fire, so fear finally showed on their faces.

But it's not over yet.

Bullet's size expanded, and in the blink of an eye, Mercury Giant over one hundred meters tall stood there.

With one hand gripping the nation's supreme ruler, Bullet looked down at the terrified Mink Tribe, his voice booming like thunder.

"Submit, or be destroyed, what is your decision?"

Duke Goatse trembled violently.

Monster!

What kind of monsters are these?!

Each of these three possesses the power to destroy the entire Mokomo Dukedom!

However, this is not the end yet.

Dylan grabbed a man and said, "If you're still not satisfied, you might as well listen to what this guy has to say."

The man being grabbed by the neck by Dylan, the former Wano General, Kozuki Sukiyaki, had a complicated expression.

"Surrender, you Mink Tribe! My name is Kozuki Sukiyaki. It is said that our ancestors had a very deep friendship, therefore..."

"Surrender. These people are beyond your capabilities, beyond our ability to fight. If we continue fighting, the entire country will be destroyed."

"Kozuki?"

The Gao-Gao struggled to read on.

In the legends passed down through generations of the Mink Tribe, they are a group closely related to their ancestors.

Were they also defeated by this group?

Dylan suddenly remembered something the Boss often said, and a smile crept onto his lips. "You don't want this man to be killed either."

Your country has also been destroyed, hasn't it?

Behind them, the most reclusive person, who never spoke a word more than once to anyone else, Kozuki Toki forlorn.

The last survivor of the Kozuki Family became a swordsmith under the Roa Demon, working tirelessly every day to produce weapons for the Calamity Company.

Now, he's going to drag this group of innocent people down to hell too!

Soon after, on Roger Pirates...

"Oh, very good!"

Roa smiled broadly. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"I should be finished here soon. You guys go back to Egghead Island to continue the renovations, and I'll join you later."

"Yes, Boss."

After receiving a response from the other end, Roa hung up the phone.

"Why are you laughing so happily?"

Roger stood to one side, holding his daughter and looking on suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just got news that I've captured the pet subordinates I wanted."

Roa said calmly.

Furry is great, we need furry.

"Pet?"

Roger raised an eyebrow.

Given Roa's shady ways, the pet he mentioned is definitely not something simple.

"Is the coating not finished yet?"

Roa's voice interrupted Roger's thoughts. He turned around and looked at the towering Red Wall that blocked out the sky in the distance.

I can't wait!

This is the other side of Reverse Mountain, and the true end of the New World.

The last time Roa came back from the Paradise, he climbed back directly from here.

"It'll be soon. Is there any need to question Rayleigh's skills?"

Roger looked up at the Red Line, his voice filled with anticipation, "Soon, soon we'll be able to reach that final island!"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Roa, wondering what this kid was plotting.

I never would have guessed; listening to the voices of things isn't mind reading.

"Eeya ya!"

At that moment, little Robin in Roger's arms stretched out her hands, as if trying to grab the Wailing Wall in the distance, while blowing bubbles.

"So cute."

Roa smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Really, can't I hold you? Don't look at me like that, I'm very good at taking care of children. Big Brother Kaido's daughter loves playing with me."

"Don't even think about it!"

Roger flatly refused.

How could I possibly let such a lovely daughter come into contact with such a dangerous guy!

There's really nothing we can do about that.

Roa sighed with some regret.

There's plenty of time in the future.

Then.

"It's done! The coating is complete! We can set off now!!"

Cheers erupted from the deck not far away.

"Finally, can we set off?"

Roa stretched happily.

To reach the Laugh Tale, you need to go underwater. The entrance is deep underwater, so you must first coat the ship with a protective coating.

In short, the next step is to uncover the world's ultimate secret!

Shortly afterward, in a dark waterway, Roger Pirates ship sped forward with the current, moving so fast that the walls of the waterway, illuminated by lights, were barely visible as it rushed past.

Roa stood at the bow of the ship, feeling somewhat surreal.

The waterway slopes upwards, just like the waterway on Reverse Mountain, where strong ocean currents propel the water rapidly upwards.

"That's too fast! What if we crash into each other!"

Buggy clung to Rayleigh's leg, screaming in agony.

Riding a roller coaster in the deep sea like this is just too terrifying!

"Don't worry, Buggy, it's the end!"

Rayleigh burst into laughter.

He had barely finished speaking when the large ship burst out of the narrow waterway and into a wide expanse of water.

It was still very dark, but everyone's emotions were already running high.

"Are we almost there? Are we finally arriving?"

"Is this the Laugh Tale?"

"Rise!"

Roger burst into laughter.

Then, the huge ship began to rise to the surface.

And it was at this time...

"Wait! That's..."

Olvia noticed a large fish swimming leisurely in the seawater outside the coated bubbles.

"That's Cream Salmon, supposedly with a texture as delicate as cream, and it's a very expensive fish! But they should be living in the West Blue!"

"So I noticed that too."

Roger pointed to another fish in a different direction, "Is that Knight Swordfish, only found in the East Blue? A fencer of the sea, very ferocious—hey, don't let your ferocity fool you, just pounce on me! Go back!"

The Conqueror's Haki was released and then immediately withdrawn, and the five-meter-long fish with a sword-like blade on its head, which was over a meter long, fled in panic.

Could it be that...?

Rayleigh gasped softly, "This sea area is the legendary AlIBlue?"

AlIBlue, a haven for all kinds of fish from around the world, a chef's paradise!

"Isn't this the only waterway connecting here?"

Roa casually remarked, "Since there are entrances to Four Seas and even Paradise, it's only natural that it would gather all the fish in the world."

Joy Boy was very thoughtful, fearing that later visitors might get lost, so he arranged for six entrances.

However, finding these six entrances is by no means easy.

"AlIBlue? Hahaha! It really does exist!"

Roger laughed heartily, "But let's put that aside for now! Let's go see the legendary Great Treasure first!"

Soon, the large ship had risen to the surface of the water.

By the light emanating from the ship's lamps, the group realized that they were in a gigantic cave. Although they could see the ceiling, they couldn't see the edge of the cave at all.

"Only inside the Red Line could such a large space be excavated, right?"

Gaban tilted his head back, clicking his tongue in amazement. It was enough to hide a small country.

"So, that's the legendary Laugh Tale?"

Rayleigh pointed forward.

Under the dim light, a massive island gradually revealed its outline in the darkness.

"Hahaha! What are we waiting for? Log in, brothers! We've finally arrived at our final destination!"

"Oh!!!"

Cheers filled the huge space almost instantly.

Then, as they approached the island...

"Hey! Am I seeing things? What's that? The island is all glittering with gold!"

"It shouldn't be my imagination, I saw it too."

"Could it be...? This is the legendary Great Treasure?!"

The people on deck gradually became excited.

Because once you get closer, you can see more clearly by the light.

The edge of that not-so-large island was shimmering with gold!

"Gold Mountain?"

Gaban stared in disbelief. "Are those Gold Mountain?"

The island's edge is surrounded by a small mountain, which now appears to be a mountain range made of gold and silver treasures.

"Hahaha! No wonder it's the Great Treasure that encompasses all wealth, power, and strength!"

Roger laughed heartily, "We've struck it rich!"

"That's amazing!!"

Buggy's face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush into those Gold Mountain.

Roa also smiled.

Mr. Joe is very generous; Judge's future research funding has been secured.

But Joy Boy, you're not being honest! Weren't you supposed to be the Sun God who brings laughter?

"With such treasures piled up haphazardly on the shore, I'm even more curious about what's on the island!"

Roger's gaze was intense.

Beside him, Olvia unconsciously grabbed his hand.

The moment to reveal all the secrets has arrived!

"Then what are we waiting for? Log in!"

Roa said with a smile.

"Hey! I'm the captain! Don't you dare give me orders!"

In any case, the large ship finally landed on the first and final island.

Later.

In a dimly lit room.

That's it.

Olvia's chest heaved, but her expression was somewhat subtle. "Then, "Joy Boy said, "I'm entrusting everything to those who come after."

An eerie silence filled the room.

Then.

"Hahahaha!"

Roger burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.

Not just him, everyone in Roger Pirates burst into laughter.

"Did this really happen?"

Rayleigh chuckled as he couldn't help but say.

"Joy Boy, what a ridiculous guy!"

Gaban echoed this sentiment.

"What a pity I wasn't born in the same era as Joy Boy!"

Roger laughed heartily, "I really want to throw him a party!"

Since that's the case --

He paused.

"Everyone's laughing so happily, let's name this island LaughTale."

"Hey! Roa!"

Roger glared at Roa instantly, "How did you know what I was going to say! No, that's what I was going to say! Take it back!"

First come, first served.

Roa burst into laughter.

That's funny, Joy Boy, you really did a terrible job.

However, since you made me laugh, I'll forgive you for now.

But in that case, it's definitely impossible to get rid of Imu right now.

It needs to continue developing.

Um.

Roa looked at Roger was still laughing.

Roger, it's time for you to step in.
