New World, Laugh Tale.
"Wait, you mean..."
Before the massive, solemn stone monument, Luffy raised his head in shock and stared at it.
More precisely, he was looking at Shirahoshi inside it.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry."
"Ah, this is troublesome!"
Rubbing his hair in frustration, Luffy turned back to the others, who were all watching curiously. "Shirahoshi doesn't know how to get out either."

"I see... I understand."
Luffy answered calmly, but everyone who knew him could hear
