Suddenly, the dog-like woman shouted, "Stop, Guardians!"
Then the rabbit-like person flew over holding a red cloth. Seeing the floating red cloth, the bull was completely stunned. Huh?!
The dog-like person also tossed out a bunch of bananas. When the gorilla saw them, he froze in shock as well.
The bull immediately charged toward the red cloth, while the gorilla hurriedly caught the huge bunch of bananas and started laughing.
Luffy watched the scene in utter astonishment. Holding the bananas, the gorilla grinned and said, "Bananas!"
"It's us! The Whale Forest Guardians!"
Rody slammed headfirst into the red cloth and got stuck in a tree. The gorilla ate his bananas and said, "Yummy, yummy!"
The Heart Pirates crew members were speechless. "That worked?"
At that moment, the dog-like person jumped down from the giant crocodile. Luffy looked at her and said, "A dog!"
The dog-like person said, "You're Straw Hat Luffy, right? I'm Wanda, and this is Carrot." Carrot hopped down, and Luffy said, "A rabbit?"
Wanda held a sword as she said, "We won't do anything to you, so stop resisting."
Luffy muttered to himself, "This country is full of incredible people. It's like there are lots of Choppers here. Do you know me?"
"Of course," Wanda said.
Luffy immediately sat down and pointed at the bull-like person. "What's with those guys? I hadn't even done anything, and they suddenly attacked me!" he complained.
Wanda walked over to Luffy and said, "Because you ran into this forbidden forest." Then she suddenly licked Luffy's face.
Luffy stared at her in shock. "What are you doing?!"
Wanda said to Luffy, "The Guardians eliminate anyone who invades this forest. That is their mission."
"So you're not allowed in," Luffy said, touching the spot Wanda had just licked.
Wanda turned toward the Guardians
