The Going rry, carrying the Straw Hat Pirates, drifted slowly through the sky.
The crew laughed and chatted together on deck.
Suddenly—
The fla of the "balloon" went out.
"Did the fuel run out? Hold on tight!"
Zoro woke from his nap and calmly warned everyone when he saw the fire extinguish.
In an instant, the octopus balloon shrank.
The ship accelerated downward toward the sea.
"This is bad! If we crash like this, the rry will be badly damaged!" Usopp shouted anxiously while looking at Luffy.
"No problem. Leave it to ."
Standing at the bow, Luffy casually swung his arm before clenching his fist.
The air exploded with a thunderous crack.
His slender arm shot forward toward the sea—but the power behind it was terrifying.
BOOM!
The ocean surface was blasted into a massive crater large enough to bury thousands of people.
The powerful shockwave halted the rry's fall.
Seawater rushed back into the crater, and the Going rry gently touched down on the surface—completely unhard.
"Luffy, you're amazing!"
Usopp jumped forward and hugged him—
—and was imdiately punched away.
"Geez…" Luffy brushed imaginary dust off his clothes.
"Why does everyone keep hugging ?"
anwhile, Chopper carefully cleaned the octopus's burned tentacles with alcohol before releasing it back into the sea.
The octopus surfaced and waved at them.
"Take care! Find friends who share your dreams!" — Chopper
"Go beat up all the other octopuses in the Grand Line!" — Zoro
"Goodbye, seafood ingredient!" — Sanji
It was quite a warm farewell scene.
…
Suddenly—
Massive waves surged behind the rry.
Three Sea Monkeys erged from the waves.
"Sea Monkeys, huh?" Luffy chuckled.
An invisible pressure swept across the sea.
The Sea Monkeys instantly foad at the mouth and floated unconscious on the water.
"Raise the sails! Turn the rudder to port!" Nami commanded.
The Going rry gradually sailed away from the turbulent waters.
…
Mock Town — Ruins
A tall man arrived in the wreckage.
He stood over three ters tall, with bronze skin and blond hair.
He wore red sunglasses, a flamboyant pink feather coat, an open shirt, zebra-striped pants, and pointed shoes.
A man with an extravagant appearance.
"Bellamy… you really embarrassed ."
He looked at the ruins of Mock Town while holding two bounty posters.
Monkey D. Luffy — 400,000,000 Berries
Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro — 80,000,000 Berries
"A brand new era is about to begin… Fufufufufu!"
The man spread his arms wide.
He was none other than one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—
Donquixote Doflamingo.
…
The Next Day
The Going rry sailed across a calm sea.
Luffy sat on the sheep figurehead fishing while humming a tune.
"Ergency report! Ergency report!"
Usopp looked through his telescope.
"At the twelve o'clock direction there's a ship! It has no sails and no flag. I don't know what kind of ship it is—and there are very few crew mbers on board. They all look exhausted!"
"What kind of ship is that?" Sanji asked, sensing its approach.
"A pirate ship," Luffy said calmly while dropping a caught fish into a bucket.
Then he cast the hook back into the sea.
"Then… leave it to ."
Without hesitation, Zoro drew his swords.
"Three-Sword Style — 180 Pound Phoenix!"
A flying blue slash shot forward.
The ship was instantly shredded to pieces.
The crew aboard didn't even have ti to scream before falling into the ocean.
Soon after, the Straw Hats spotted a vast green island stretching endlessly across the horizon.
Luffy narrowed his eyes.
He rembered this place.
Foxxy… the user of the Slow-Slow Fruit.
Then he shook his head.
Right now, his strength was already at the Emperor's right-hand level.
If soone like that dared to cause trouble in front of him, one punch would send them flying—or worse.
Only an idiot would bother playing that ridiculous ga.
…
Long Ring Long Land
The Straw Hats stepped onto the green plains.
Imdiately they spotted a white bear—but it was standing upright and had a strangely long body.
The trees were full of long, slender apples.
Luffy stretched his arm out, grabbed one, and took a bite.
"Not bad!"
Soon they saw many animals—
Deer, cranes, weasels…
All of them unusually long and stretched out.
"The trees are tall, and even the animals are long," Nami analyzed.
"It must be due to the island's geography and climate."
As ti passed, the crew arrived at a small house.
"No one's here," Usopp said after looking around.
"No… there is soone."
Sanji lit a cigarette and walked toward two extrely tall bamboo stalks.
They stretched high into the clouds.
Sanji kicked.
CRACK!
Both bamboo stalks snapped.
A few seconds later—
A human figure fell from the sky.
"Whoa! A fairy fell out of the bamboo!" Luffy laughed.
anwhile, Robin and Chopper were standing beside a white horse.
"She says her na is Shelly. She's a girl," Chopper translated.
"She has a saddle," Robin observed.
"That ans she must have an owner."
On the other side—
An old man had just slamd into the ground after falling from the sky.
Miraculously, he survived.
At that mont, a fox-shaped ship appeared at the shore.
Chains were thrown out, surrounding the Going rry.
At the sa ti—
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes sharpened as they looked toward the coast.
"Hey, Luffy…"
Zoro rested his hand on his sword.
"Don't worry about it," Luffy said casually.
…
"My na is Tonjit. Anyway, thank you for helping !"
The old man slowly stood up and began telling his story.
Long ago, he loved walking on stilts.
Using the bamboo from the island, he made the tallest pair of stilts in the world, hoping to break a record.
He climbed up…
But couldn't climb down.
So he stayed up there.
For ten years.
"Idiot."
That was the Straw Hats' unanimous evaluation.
Tonjit also explained the animals on the island:
"They grew long because they live such carefree lives!"
This island was called Long Ring Long Land.
Ten islands ford a circle connected by a path.
But during high tide, the path was subrged.
Tonjit's village was a nomadic tribe that migrated to the next island every three years.
Unfortunately, he had been left behind.
He would have to wait twenty more years before they returned.
Luckily—
His horse Shelly had never abandoned him.
"Long ti no see, Shelly!"
The old man affectionately hugged his horse.
Soon he mounted Shelly and galloped across the plains.
The wind brushed against his face.
For a mont, he looked decades younger.
Then—
A red light flashed in Luffy's eyes.
He flicked a small stone.
Armant Haki coated it instantly.
BANG!
A gunshot rang out.
A bullet that had been aid at Shelly was knocked away by the stone.
The stone continued flying into the bushes.
Blood splattered.
"Damn it! Do you know who I am?!"
A fox-faced man burst out of the grass with a hole through his chest.
Behind him stood a man and a woman.
"So?" Luffy said casually while picking his nose.
"What do you want?"
"My na is Foxxy. If there's sothing I want, I always get it."
"The Foxxy Pirates officially challenge the Straw Hat Pirates to a Davy Back Fight!"
Foxxy held three coins, looking extrely arrogant.
"So why should we accept such a boring challenge?" Luffy narrowed his eyes.
"I don't want your crew."
"And your pirate flag is ugly as hell."
"…WHAT?!"
Foxxy was completely stunned.
"We're pirates," Luffy said with a grin.
But that grin looked almost devilish.
"Zoro. Take them out."
"Okay."
Zoro instantly dashed forward, swords drawn.
"Damn it! Slow-Slow Beam!"
Foxxy released pink waves from his hands.
"Huh?"
Zoro's movent suddenly slowed drastically.
"Surprised? I ate the Slow-Slow Fruit, you—"
Before he could finish—
BAM!
Sanji kicked him flying.
Sanji lowered his leg calmly.
"You talk too much."
"Damn it!"
Foxxy had barely gotten back up when he saw Zoro charging toward him like a demon surrounded by killing intent.
"Three-Sword Style — Oni Giri!"
Foxxy was instantly cut down.
"B–Boss…!"
The remaining two crew mbers trembled in terror.
"With skills like that, you still tried to steal soone else's crew?" Zoro scoffed.
…
Afterward, the Foxxy Pirates disbanded.
The Straw Hats didn't slaughter everyone.
From beginning to end, they only took down Foxxy himself.
Soon after—
The Going rry said goodbye to Tonjit.
Then it sailed onward into the mysterious ocean.
