Under Kazu's spatial power, everyone returned to the Divine Dragon in an instant.
"Hahaha, it's still more reassuring to be on our own boat."
"Tch, aren't you the one who kept shouting about landing on the island back on the ship?"
"What did you say? You repressed, energy-consuming jerk!"
"I'm talking about you, you idiot, cold-blooded man."
For some reason, Carlmand and Behrens started arguing as soon as they got back on the Divine Dragon.
In town, the two of them were much better off because they had their own things to do.
Perhaps it's because once they're back on the ship, they see each other all the time, and their interactions increase, naturally leading to more frequent arguments.
Everyone was already used to the two of them. It seemed that they started arguing about the bounty at first, but then it got out of control and they couldn't stand each other.
" Kazu, where are we going now?"
Makino brewed a pot of black tea, and everyone gathered around a table, enjoying the sea breeze and drinking tea. Life was so pleasant and comfortable.
Now that you ask, I do remember a place.
"Let's keep going. When we get there, there's a naive and pitiful little girl waiting for me to rescue her."
Well, Captain Kazu never hides his purpose; he's after beautiful women. I wonder where he got that information from.
However, just two days after the Divine Dragon set sail, before they encountered any islands, a huge dark shadow appeared to their left front.
"Hey, really? There are terrifying things like that on the high seas?"
"Could it be that Sea Kings jumped out?"
Everyone saw the dark shape in the distance and began to speculate, but only Kazu, who was familiar with the plot, knew what it was.
Zunesha, a colossus atoning for its sins at sea, is much larger than any so-called Sea Kings.
However, it moves constantly on the sea and has no fixed location; whether you encounter it or not depends entirely on luck.
Kazu and his companions were clearly lucky; there was even a Red Road Poneglyph stone tablet above them.
It would be even better if we could kidnap a small animal to be used as a mascot on the Divine Dragon.
Just like the polar bear in the Heart Pirates, so cute and adorable.
"That's a huge elephant. Based on what I've heard before, it seems to be called the Phantom Island, Zou. That should be it."
"Go, bring the boat over here."
Captain Kazu gave the order, Carlmand immediately turned the rudder to port, sending the Divine Dragon at full power towards Zunesha.
A huge elephant?
" Phantom Island!!"
Everyone else just found it a bit strange, but Robin was seriously thinking about it. He realized he hadn't read any books about this elephant, which meant he didn't know enough.
Zunesha looks slow when it moves, but its legs are incredibly long; one step is enough for an ordinary ship to chase for half a day.
The Divine Dragon was fast enough that chasing it wasn't too difficult, but it still took Kazu and his crew a day and a night to reach the feet of Zunesha.
Wow!!!
"It looks much bigger up close than it does from a distance. Is it even an animal?"
"Haha, you're making a fuss over nothing. You'll encounter many more strange and unusual things in the future."
As Drew was still reflecting, Carlmand patted him on the shoulder, looking like someone who'd been there all along.
" Carlmand, so you've seen other creatures of this size?"
Tell me about it.
Drew, believing his lies, began questioning Carlmand with shining eyes.
Seeing Drew's expression, Carlmand was quite pleased. He laughed heartily twice, waved his hand, and said, "Young man, it's a good thing to want to learn more."
"But unfortunately, apart from this elephant, I haven't seen any other super-large animals."
Drew gave Carlmand a disdainful look and muttered something under his breath.
"You're crazy. Don't you know why you're calling me naive?"
Behrens walked over and put his arm around Drew's shoulder, saying in a cheeky tone, "Honestly, you actually believed that idiot. If you didn't fall for it, who would?"
"Remember, from now on, you'll be right to trust me."
Drew is now quite lucid. After looking at Behrens's despicable behavior, he feels it's better to trust an honest person like Oulait.
"Alright, my spatial powers have detected life on the giant elephant's back."
"Let's go there and see what fun adventures await us."
With a wave of his Divine Dragon Kazu on Zunesha's back in the next instant.
"There's actually a town here!!"
Robin was the most surprised; it was astonishing that traces of civilization could appear on the back of such a massive creature.
If it were just some fish or birds, it would be understandable, but a town has appeared on the back of an elephant.
How do they obtain water, cultivate the land, and pass on their culture?
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the town gate, the level of civilization is not low.
