Above Egghead Island, a blue dragon coiled through the sky, startling flocks of birds into flight. Its scales shimmered like emeralds in the sunlight. !-- watermark removed --
Acting sooner rather than later, everyone set off as soon as they'd made their decision. Vegapunk took the Going Merry back to the warehouse in the research layer for safekeeping. After Nami got Eternal Poses for Hachinosu and Egghead from him, Lina summoned the undead to carry everyone away. The blue dragon burst out of the clouds, shaking off wisps of cotton-white cloud that had clung to its body. Lina and the others sat or sprawled across its back, gripping its mane tightly, their excitement plain to see. "Hahaha! Dragon Knight Luffy, reporting in!" Luffy stood right on the dragon's head, both hands wrapped around its mighty horns, as if steering it through the clouds. He looked thrilled. "Let's go! Straight to Hachinosu!" "Me too, me too! Dragon Knight Chopper, reporting in!" Chopper jumped onto his shoulder, excited but a little scared, and clung tightly to Luffy's forehead. The pirates, usually at each other's throats, united with astonishing speed the moment they faced an enemy. One after another, they sprang up, grabbed their weapons, and charged into battle. "Luffy's a Rubber Person, so he should be the Rubber Knight." "Wouldn't Luffy Knight be better?" Meanwhile, the tavern erupted in laughter. This sort of scene was nothing unusual on the island. "Damn it!" Crackle! "Electromagnetic Cube!!" On the ship, Nami looked down at the pirates swarming like a tide and sighed, pressing a hand to her forehead. A mushroom cloud rose over the island. One punch had flattened everything within several hundred meters! "Grab your weapons, brothers!" "This is our turf!" The rest looked at Lina, blinked, and exchanged a long, silent glance.
