Zunesha: Have You Heard My Story?

The following morning.

A Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew out of Sweet City, the capital of Whole Cake Island.

Inside the dragon's belly cabin, Storm used the Eternal Pose given to him by Law to adjust the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight direction.

"Once we reach this island, it won't take long to search for Zunesha in the surrounding waters."

Due to the special environment in which Zou is located.

This country, located on the back of Zunesha, does not have a specific magnetic pointer.

Therefore, Storm and the others planned to first fly to an island near the sea area where Zunesha had recently appeared, and then search for the whereabouts of Zunesha and the Kingdom of Zou around that island.

"No matter how many times I've experienced it, I still can't help but praise it."

Robin sat on a clay sofa and praised it with a smile.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon is absolutely amazing!"

Because of the special objective of this operation— the Road Poneglyph of Zou.

So the archaeologist lady followed along.

As for the other members of the Storm Pirates, they are currently still in Whole Cake Island.

Upon hearing Robin's words, Storm raised an eyebrow. "What about the Blue-Eyes White Dragon compared to your 'little cutie'?"

Robin lifted the little Godzilla in his arms and solemnly replied, "It's cuter!"

Strange woman!

Law couldn't help but roll his eyes at Robin.

Whether it's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Mini Godzilla, aren't they both variants of the "lizard" species?

Sora the Marine Warrior (suit warrior) is clearly the coolest!

Ignorant and boring bastards!

Storm and Robin turned around at the same time to look at Law.

"You seem to be thinking about something unpleasant?"

"Luo, there seems to be something wrong with your gaze..."

Luo shrugged and replied with his usual poker face, "An illusion, just your illusion."

"Captain."

Bepo extended his bear paw and gently tapped Law's shoulder.

"I trust you."

Luo immediately lost his composure, "There's no need to add any further explanation at this point!"

"Feel sorry..."

The Bepo was sunk by Law's violent reaction.

Luo held his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

"Bepo, your personality... never mind, we'll be in Zou soon, cheer up."

Luo's tone wasn't particularly enthusiastic, but Bepo quickly perked up.

"Go home... go home..."

Looking at the white bear that seemed about to dance, Storm couldn't help but smile.

"Bepo."

"Yes, yes!"

Bepo jolted awake and immediately stood up straight, chest out, and stomach in.

"Captain!"

Storm was a little confused. "What's the title of 'Grand Captain'?"

Bepo carefully explained, "The Captain's Captain is the great Captain."

"Hey!" Storm waved his hand. "Just call me 'Captain'."

"Oh..." Bepo nodded obediently.

Storm then said, "Bepo, if you want to go home, why don't you go find your brother first?"

"Brother? Jepo?"

Bepo blinked its two dark bear eyes.

"Isn't it in Zou?"

"Um?"

"I'm puzzled, "Storm asked.

"Isn't your brother a pirate?"

If Storm remembers correctly.

Back then, young Bepo left Zulu's back to follow in his Zunesha Jepo's footsteps.

Then, inexplicably, I ended up wandering to North Blue...

Storm had no idea how the little bear had gotten all the way from the New World to the North Blue.

However, one thing is certain.

At least by the year Bepo left Zunesha, his Jepo had already "gone to sea" and become a pirate.

Has some unknown change occurred in the timeline of the Kingdom of Zou?

Just as Storm was beginning to have doubts...

Bepo clapped his hands as if Satori.

"Oh right... Jepo has been a pirate for a long time! I forgot."

What's with that waking-up-from-a-daze tone?!

Storm's lips twitched violently.

Law then stretched out his hand and slapped Bepo hard on the back, making a loud "bang".

"Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown to see your relatives?! Your brother isn't even home!"

"I'm sorry, Captain..."

Bepo immediately lowered his head and apologized in a dejected tone.

Seeing the Polar Bear's expression, Robin chuckled and said with delight, "This journey has been quite interesting..."

After giving Bepo a few harsh words, Luo reluctantly stopped.

Bepo is his partner, the navigator and mascot (and emergency rations) of the Heart Pirates.

What else can we do?

Then spoil it!

Luo rubbed his head and turned to look at Storm.

"Captain, what else do you know about Bepo's brother, 'Jepo'? Can you tell us?"

Law knew Bepo had an older brother, but he had always assumed that Bepo's brother lived in Zou.

Therefore, I haven't paid attention to any intelligence or information related to Jepo.

Only today did Luo realize that Jepo might not even be in Zou at all!

Won't Bepo be disappointed if Bepo goes back to his hometown?

Upon hearing Luo's words, Bepo immediately raised its head and stared at Storm with its pitiful little eyes.

Stare~

"I don't know much either, let me think..."

Storm fell into deep thought before slowly speaking.

"Bepo's Jepo, Gepo, should be with the Knox Pirates right now..."

The Knox Pirates.

It sounds very similar to the "Rocks Pirates".

However, the difference between the two pirate crews was actually enormous.

The Rocks Pirates were a legendary pirate crew that dominated the seas decades ago and even aspired to conquer the world.

And the Knox Pirates...

It was just a small pirate crew established by the Mink Tribe.

It's worth mentioning.

In the normal timeline, the Captain of the Knox Pirates... was killed by a bomb.

Right.

That's the bomb from the Paradise stage that couldn't even kill a bird. (Pell)

Upon arriving in the New World, they blew up one powerful figure after another, each with a bounty of over 100 million.

"And the Captain of the Knox Pirates..."

Storm paused for a moment to reminisce.

"His name is Pedro, a member of the Jaguar Mink Tribe, and the bounty... should be over a hundred million."

The future Pedro had a bounty exceeding 300 million Beli before his death.

But that was a few years later.

Storm wasn't sure how high Pedro's bounty was now, and he hadn't paid much attention to it before.

That's enough.

Luo glanced gratefully at Storm, then patted Bepo's head and bowed to the Captain in thanks.

"With the names of the pirate crew and their Captain, gathering the rest of the information will be much easier!"

The current Luo is affiliated with the Totto Land, backed by the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor, and has an entire dark world as his helper.

Finding a Knox Pirates is a very easy task.

"Um."

Storm nodded, then looked at Robin beside him.

"Robin, there's one more thing I need to tell you about the Knox Pirates."

"The Knox Pirates are also collecting Ancient Poneglyph."

To be precise...

The Knox Pirates' goal in setting sail is to collect the Ancient Poneglyph!

In the future, the Knox Pirates were almost completely crushed by the BIG MOM Pirates, who treated them like insects.

It was also because the Knox Pirates coveted the Red Poneglyph of the BIG MOM Pirates and wanted to emulate the legendary story of the Roger Pirates.

Um...

Decades ago, the Roger Pirates collected information recorded on three pieces of the Red Poneglyph in Fish-Man Island, Zou, Wano Country.

As for this piece from the Whole Cake Island?

The Roger Pirates "borrowed" a rubbing of the Road Poneglyph from Charlotte Linlin.

Pedro also wanted to "borrow" a rubbing from Charlotte Linlin.

Then the Knox Pirates were wiped out.

Bepo's Jepo, Jepo, also died because of this incident; Charlotte Linlin drained all his lifespan from him.

Regarding the actions of Pedro and the Knox Pirates.

Storm can only offer one comment--

It takes real courage to covet the Road Poneglyph of the BIG MOM Pirates.

But the only thing worth praising is their "courage".

But now...

The Knox Pirates are still adrift and wandering on the high seas.

On the contrary, the BIG MOM Pirates have already been wiped out.

"The Knox Pirates are also collecting Ancient Poneglyph?"

Robin frowned his handsome brows.

"Why?"

Storm casually remarked, "Of course, it's because they're the 'Mink Tribe,' and specifically the 'Mink Tribe' of the Kingdom of Zou."

What's wrong with the Mink Tribe of the Zou Kingdom this time?

Robin looked at Bepo, who also looked bewildered.

"Bepo knows nothing either."

Bepo lowered his head. "I'm sorry..."

Law glared fiercely at Robin.

That stinky woman!

Robin was somewhat amused and exasperated, but still gave Law an apologetic look.

She never imagined that Bepo's psychological defenses would be so fragile...

Simply put...

Storm shrugged.

"Zou inherited a quarter of the 'key' to the Laugh Tale, Raftel, and also inherited a certain amount of knowledge."

"However, I have serious doubts about the competence of the current rulers of the Zou Kingdom; they probably know nothing at all."

The current ruler of the Kingdom of Zou.

King of Daylight - Inuarashi.

King of the Night - Nekomamushi.

Their nicknames are all impressive, but their actual skills are truly lacking.

Despite being members of Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi did not have much exposure to ancient history.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi never even reached Raftel, the Laugh Tale, with the Roger Pirates.

Shanks and Buggy the Clown stopped at the "gateway" to the Laugh Tale.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, however, disembarked in Wano Country ahead of schedule.

(Both were due to sudden illnesses; the former was caused by Buggy, and the latter by Toki.)

Robin's brow relaxed. "The Captain certainly knows a lot..."

"It's just a little bit."

Storm extended his thumb and forefinger, making a gesture of a fingertip universe.

Under the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's extreme speed.

Storm and his group quickly arrived at the sea area where the Zunesha had recently been active.

Through his Nine-Star Observation Haki, powerful enough to "Hear the Voice of All Things," Storm clearly "heard" the voice of Zunesha.

Using Observation Haki to lock onto Zunesha, Blue-Eyes White Dragon quickly flew to the vicinity of Zunesha.

Storm left the dragon's belly cabin at the opportune moment and stood on the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

He gazed at the thick, elephant-like legs on the sea ahead, which resembled pillars supporting the sky, and heard ancient voices echoing in his mind.

'... Guilty... Innocent... Joy Boy... ordered... at that time...'

A strange, super-sized elephant.

And he's also a huge Joey Boyle fan.

Storm secretly grumbled to himself.

But just then, the old voice in his mind suddenly changed its meaning.

'You... have heard my story?'

'Um?'

Storm answered telepathically.

Can you hear my voice?

Second update.

Before 4 PM!

Goodnight everyone.
