The Special Use of Kido Mitama Son, the Dojutsu

Ah~

"It smells so good!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Luffy, Merry turned around and looked behind her, then smiled and said, "Luffy, come back..."

Merry froze before she could finish speaking, because she realized that the lower half of the body that had just run away was stuck to Luffy's back.

What's going on?

"Ah, you're back."

Luffy nodded, then excitedly looked at the dragon meat and said, "Hey, Xi Yan, can I eat this?"

As he spoke, Luffy's saliva began to drip from his mouth.

"It's edible."

Xi Yan casually tossed a huge piece of meat with bone to Luffy, saying, "I already tested it; it's not poisonous."

After activating his right eye's Dojutsu ' Kido Mitama Son ', Xi Yan could sense whether his body would exhibit any abnormal states, so he could confirm that the flesh was fine.

"That's good."

Luffy smiled happily as he took the large bone and meat from Luffy's hand, and then began to savor it with a grin.

"So delicious!"

"Right?" Xi Yan laughed, "Looks like my cooking skills are pretty good."

"Hey, Luffy."

Usopp, who was also eating meat, pointed to Kin'emon stuck to Luffy's back and complained, "What's going on with you?"

"Pretend to be a centaur?"

"A centaur, huh?"

Upon hearing Luffy, Luffy's eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed, "So cool!!"

Usopp:...

Is that what he meant?

"Damn it, what on earth is stuck to?!" Kin'emon struggled with his lower body, shouting, "Let me go!"

"Haha, you still haven't given up?"

Luffy glanced at Kin'emon's lower body and said, "I can spend the whole day with you!"

Xi Yan:???

Upon hearing Luffy's words, several question marks immediately appeared above Xi Yan's head. Why did that sentence sound so familiar?

Who said that again...?

After thinking for a long time and realizing he couldn't remember, Xi Yan gave up trying.

Then, he looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, you really have a twisted sense of humor."

"Yeah."

Luffy laughed and said, "I actually find it quite interesting."

Centaurs and stuff... aren't they cool?

Seeing Luffy's eyes light up again, Xi Yan shook his head helplessly, unsure of what to say.

Just then, Luffy's legs suddenly kicked out from behind, slamming Luffy hard into the ground.

"Bump!"

Seeing this, Usopp was speechless and said, "See? Luffy, he'll never listen to you."

"Why?" Luffy asked, lying on the ground.

"Because this guy is just a lower body, he doesn't have a brain," Usopp said. "So let's give up and return him to the owner of this body."

Luffy paused for a moment upon hearing this, then pouted and said, "Seriously, Usopp... do you even have any dreams?!"

"Ha?"

Usopp paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

What does it mean to say whether he has dreams or not?

"Of course it's this guy!" Luffy had stood up, pointed to the lower half of Kin'emon behind him and said, "This guy must look like this, right!"

Hehe~

"I see, a lower-body person, huh..." Usopp nodded first, then opened his shark mouth and roared, "How is this possible!"

How could such a strange thing as a person with a lower body exist in this world?!

That's absolutely impossible!

"Then how do you explain this guy?"

"How should I know?" Usopp said, speechless. "But it's definitely not a lower-body person."

He simply didn't believe that people with lower bodies existed in this world.

"I don't care, he's a sex man!"

Seeing Luffy's childlike expression, Usopp immediately lost heart.

"Whatever you want."

He simply couldn't be bothered to argue with Luffy.

Hehe~

Luffy burst out laughing upon hearing this, then turned to look at Kin'emon's lower half behind him and chuckled, "Did you hear that? You're the handsome centaur lower half!"

Unfortunately, Kin'emon's lower body did not cooperate with him; instead, it struggled violently.

"Looks like this guy isn't going to listen to reason," Merry said, staring at Kin'emon. "Want me to give you a hand?"

As she spoke, a visible wisp of Wind ball appeared in Merry's hand, which looked extremely dangerous.

Upon seeing this, Usopp was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Merry, are you planning to kill him?"

Of course not.

Merry shook her head and said, "I just want him to behave."

Her barrage of attacks would at most knock the opponent unconscious, but wouldn't kill them.

Usopp blinked upon hearing this. Was it just to make the other person behave?

But why did he feel that Merry's attack was so dangerous...?

Is it just my imagination?

"It's alright, Merry," Luffy grinned, "I can do it myself."

To become a powerful centaur, one must first tame one's hind legs, so... he should do it himself!

"I see... Okay."

Seeing that Luffy did not accept her suggestion, Merry did not insist and obediently dispersed the Wind ball in her hand.

"Alright, eat the meat first, then you can play with your centaur body later," Xi Yan said.

As they were talking, Xi Yan tossed Luffy a large piece of meat and bone.

"Profound!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

While Luffy and his crew were enjoying a delicious meal, Nami and the others had already been captured by Caesar's men and taken to Punk Hazard's laboratory.

"Master," the man in protective gear said respectfully, "We've just captured a group of intruders."

Upon hearing this, Caesar, who was conducting an experiment, turned to look at his subordinates and said, "Intruders?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"That's wonderful!"

"The experimental materials are running low, so these are perfect for filling the gaps."

Having said that, Caesar put down the vessel in his hand, then turned and walked towards the back Great Gate, saying, "Come on, take me to see them."

"Yes, Master."

The man in the protective suit nodded, then turned and walked outside.

Soon, the two arrived at the special cell where Nami and the others were being held.

"This..."

Caesar, observing Chopper and the others' condition, paused for a moment before saying, "These are the intruders you captured?"

"Yes."

The Protective Suit Man nodded and said, "They're all from the same pirate ship."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Each one is very unique."

As they were talking, Caesar casually picked Chopper up and started thinking about what to do with the guy.

"They're all really unique," Protective Suit Man nodded. "Especially this Tin Man; I knew the owner would love him."

"The Tin Man..."

After putting Chopper down, Caesar went to Franky's side and examined him closely before exclaiming, "What an interesting modification!"

"You're right, I am indeed very interested in this guy."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Cyborg capable of transforming themselves to this extent... must be hiding some interesting secrets!

Yes, it's worth studying!

After chuckling, Caesar turned to his men and asked, "Are all the people we captured here?"

"There was another guy who seemed to be one of their companions," the Protective Suit Man thought for a moment and said, "But he's just a skeleton now, so I didn't bring him back."

"Bones?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Caesar's eyes. Why were there bones?

"Hmm, bones."

The Protective Suit Man nodded and said, "They must have killed each other during their infighting. Isn't that common among pirates?"

Caesar nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true."

It's not uncommon for pirates to kill each other.

Then Caesar waved his hand and said, "Now that guy is dead, we don't need to worry about him anymore."

"As for these people... keep a close eye on them, and don't let them escape!"

"Once I've finished dealing with what I'm doing, I'll take a good look at these guys."

Finally, Caesar turned his gaze to Franky, clearly intending to take a closer look at the Cyborg's anatomy.

"Clear!"

The Protective Suit Man nodded, then, as if remembering something, said, "Oh, right, Master, there's one more thing."

"Explain."

"Didn't we capture a little boy named Peach before?" the Protective Suit Man said, "But for some reason, he disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Caesar paused upon hearing this, then frowned and said, "How could it be missing?"

Although Punk Hazard's laboratory is very large, escaping from here is impossible, after all... the Great Gate needs to be activated to open!

"We don't know either," the Protective Suit Man shook his head and said, "But they have indeed been missing for several days."

"Then find him for me."

Caesar said, "Then bring him before me, and I will make him understand the price of his escape!"

As he spoke, a cold killing intent flashed in Caesar's eyes; he hated disobedient experimental subjects the most.

"Yes!"

The Protective Suit Man nodded, then turned and walked outside.

Caesar stared at Chopper and the others for a while before turning and leaving.

A moment later...

"Um?"

"What am I doing...?"

Sanji groggily opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. Then, as if remembering something, his expression changed and he said, "Wait, I think I've been drugged!"

At that moment, Sanji remembered everything.

All those who remained on the ship were knocked unconscious by the unknown gas.

After realizing what had happened, Sanji jumped up from the ground.

"Hey, Miss Nami, Miss Perona, wake up!" Sanji shouted.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Sanji's call, the two instinctively frowned, then opened their eyes somewhat confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Then, as if they had discovered something, the two exclaimed in surprise, "Wait... where are we?"

Weren't they supposed to be on a pirate ship? Why are they surrounded by steel walls?

Chopper had also regained consciousness, looked around with a confused expression, clearly not understanding what had happened.

"I don't know where we are either," Sanji said, his face grim. "But we think we've been captured."

"Arrest him..."

Perona lowered her head and thought for a moment, then her pupils contracted and she said, "I remember now, we inexplicably fell asleep on the ship, right?"

"Yes."

Sanji nodded and said, "At the time, I was wondering if we had encountered Natural Gas from the New World, but now it seems that's clearly not the case."

"We... we must have been captured by someone."

By the end, Sanji's expression had turned somewhat grim. He desperately wanted to know what these guys' purpose was in capturing them.

Want their bounty?

But Chopper's bounty is only 50; is it even worth capturing him?

And... why is Brook gone?

"You've been arrested?"

Chopper was startled by this, then exclaimed in terror, "Is someone after our heads?"

Perona:...

What are you, a cute little thing with only 50 Beli, worried about?

If she weren't afraid of hurting Chopper's feelings by saying this, she really wanted to give him a good talking-to.

"Maybe," Sanji said, frowning as he looked around.

"What do we do now?"

"Of course we'll find a way out," Sanji said.

After saying that, Sanji went to the steel Great Gate and Great Gate it hard.

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

After kicking him several times, Sanji faced reality.

This door... he can't seem to kick it open.

"Um?"

Franky, snapping out of his daze after hearing the noise, looked at Sanji with a puzzled expression and said, "Sanji, what are you doing?"

"Ah, you're awake."

Sanji first turned and replied, then pointed to the Great Gate in front of him and said, "I'm trying to kick this Great Gate open."

"Great Gate?"

Several question marks appeared above Franky's head. What Great Gate?

Franky then realized something was wrong.

"Huh?"

"Here it is..."

Wasn't he eating Sanji's cooking on the deck? What's he doing here?

What on earth happened...?

Damn it, I have a bit of a headache, I can't remember.

"It should be obvious, right?" Nami said, her face grim. "We've been captured."

"We've been arrested... Who on earth could have brought us here so quietly?"

Franky's face was full of disbelief; they were no pushovers.

"I think someone must have used Hypnotic Gas."

Nami thought for a moment and said, "It's precisely because of that thing that we were brought here without being detected."

She couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Oh right, Hypnotic Gas!"

Chopper seemed to remember something and jumped up, saying, "I did smell something strange at the time, but before I could warn myself, I was knocked unconscious by the Hypnotic Gas."

In the end, Chopper's expression turned somewhat dejected. If only he could have held on a little longer, he could have saved his friends.

Thinking of this, Chopper lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry... everyone..."

Perona, who was examining the Great Gate, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Chopper with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why are you apologizing?"

"If I had discovered it sooner, none of us would have been arrested."

Perona sighed in exasperation. So that's why?

"It's not your fault, Chopper," Perona said. "Who would have thought someone would use Hypnotic Gas to ambush us in a place like that?"

"Yes, Chopper, don't blame yourself," Nami added. "Besides, even if you had discovered it beforehand, you might not have been able to save us in that situation."

After all... Merry, who possesses the Wind Force, wasn't on the ship, so it was impossible for her to blow away the Hypnotic Gas.

Chopper blinked and said, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

"All right..."

Seeing that the two of them had said that, Chopper composed himself and was no longer frustrated.

"I have a bit of a headache."

Franky stood up, frowned, and looked around before asking, "Who brought you here?"

Do you have any clues?

"Perhaps someone is after our heads."

After saying that, Nami paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that we encountered human traffickers."

Upon hearing the words "human traffickers, "Chopper's expression immediately changed.

"Will we be sold?" Chopper asked, his eyes brimming with tears. "Will we be slaves for the rest of our lives?"

As if recalling a certain scene, Chopper's tears welled up instantly.

Upon seeing this, Perona immediately came over, patted the little guy's head, and said, "It shouldn't be a human trafficker."

Why?

"Because they didn't handcuff us," Perona said, raising her hands to show Chopper her arms, then continued, "So I don't think they're a group of human traffickers."

"Oh, I see..."

Chopper breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't a human trafficker.

Upon hearing their conversation, Sanji's brows furrowed instinctively.

'Didn't you bring handcuffs...?'

While Miss Perona's point is valid, there's another possibility...

That means the opponent is extremely powerful, so there's no need to worry about them escaping!

Thinking of this, Sanji's expression turned somewhat grim.

'I hope it's not that other possibility.'

"By the way, I can't see Brook," Franky and his group said, looking at their companions. "Where did that guy go?"

He remembered Brook sitting right next to him; had the other guy forgotten about him?

"I don't know," Nami shook her head and said, "There are only the five of us here."

So she had no idea where Brook had gone.

"Could it be that the people who captured us aren't interested in skeletons?" Chopper looked up and said, "They only capture humans."

Franky:???

Upon hearing Chopper's words, several question marks immediately appeared above Franky's head.

You probably can't even be considered human.

"Aren't you the same?!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "How dare you talk about others like that?!"

Franky seems to have almost disappeared from human form now, where does he get the nerve to say something like that, you bastard!

Franky showed no displeasure at this; instead, he gave Sanji a thumbs-up and said, "Do you think I'm a pervert?"

"You really know how to compliment people!"

"Super~"

Finally, Franky struck his signature pose, making Sanji's eyelids twitch.

He wasn't praising someone, you jerk!

Just then, a strange male voice came into the room.

"Hey, you lot!"

"Huh?"

Nami, who was pondering a solution, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up at her companions and asked, "Was anyone talking just now?"

"No, it's an unfamiliar voice." Franky, having lowered his arm, turned to look at the corner of the room and said, "It's coming from over there."

Upon hearing Franky's words, everyone instinctively looked towards the corner they had been ignoring, and then discovered some strange and unusual things.

"This is... building blocks?" Chopper asked, tilting his head.

"How could building blocks talk?!"

Chopper thought about it for a moment after hearing this, and it seemed to make sense.

Then, somewhat puzzled, he asked, "What is this?"

"How should I know?" Sanji said, speechless.

This was the first time he'd ever seen something so strange and unusual.

"Do you guys like riddles?" Kin'emon's head spoke again, "In foreign languages, they're called puzzles~"

He said it was a word puzzle...

The group gathered around and asked, "What riddle are we going to guess?"

Sanji, squinting at the fragments of Kin'emon, said, "It really was this guy's voice..."

"What exactly are you?"

How can he still talk after changing like this?

Could it be... that the other party is a product created by some kind of ability user?

"What do you mean by 'What are you anyway?'" Kin'emon retorted, "You're being incredibly rude!"

These guys have no idea how to talk, you bastards!

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Kin'emon's attitude; instead, they were wondering what this thing was.

"Is it an insect?" Nami asked curiously.

"Insect?"

Upon hearing the word "insect, "Perona immediately darted back several meters, her eyes becoming much more wary than before.

Kin'emon:...

So what is that woman afraid of?

After glancing at Perona, Franky turned his gaze back to Kin'emon and said, "It should be a new type of Den Den Mushi."

He really couldn't find any other explanation besides this.

After all... in this world, only insects like Den Den Mushi can speak human language!

"I'm not some insect!" Kin'emon retorted, "I'm a person!"

"A living person!!"

"People..."

Upon hearing Kin'emon's explanation, everyone immediately wore a look that was hard to describe.

This strange, block-like creature in front of them is telling them it's human... It's a really strange feeling.

"Are you really human?" Nami asked doubtfully.

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nami immediately fell into deep thought.

Why would someone become like this?

A person with special abilities?

Perona breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it's a person."

If you're human, you don't need to be afraid.

Perona then regained her composure and walked back to Nami and the others.

Kin'emon:???

Upon witnessing this scene, Kin'emon was immediately filled with questions.

So... this woman is really afraid of insects?

Are outsiders... really that timid?
