Nami, Usopp, and Chopper excitedly rode the Mini merry, happily cruising around the Sunny.
Luffy stood on the Sunny, watching them have fun, and he himself was so excited he let out howls.
He began imitating a monkey's movements, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, his feet together, jumping continuously.
"Ooh-ooh-ooh... you guys! Let me ride the Mini Merry!" Luffy whined with howls.
Suddenly, a sharp scream echoed, and the trio of Nami instantly vanished from everyone's sight.
Luffy, however, continued to howl incessantly, looking straight ahead.
Sanji furiously roared at Luffy: "Stop yelling! You idiot, can't you show some concern for Miss Nami?"
Franky looked at Sanji speechlessly =_= : "You too... show some concern for the other two as well."
Robin rested her hand on her face, gazing at the sea with a blank expression: "That scream just now, could it be that they were cursed to death by a ghost?"
Snake Snake curiously poked its head out of the bag and chimed in: "It's also possible they were eaten by a sea monster. Turned into poop."
Zoro's mouth twitched slightly: "Shut up! Both of you! Don't say such inauspicious things."
Just then, the Sunny's anchor was suddenly dropped, making a loud noise, and everyone vigilantly looked around.
"Strange, no one touched the anchor..."
Orochimaru, who had returned to his backpack and was comfortably sprawled on the sofa, suddenly remembered something: "Ah... he seems to have forgotten to tell Sanji that the Invisibility Fruit had been eaten.
And the person who ate it seems to be on some Ghost Island... Never mind... Sanji didn't ask later, so he probably doesn't like it anymore."
As strange things continued to happen on the Sunny, Luffy's expression gradually became serious.
Sanji turned to ask Luffy something, only to see Luffy's face being pulled left and right by something invisible, and Zoro's sword inexplicably flew out, almost injuring Luffy, but Franky fortunately kicked Luffy away.
Sanji wanted to save Nami, but as soon as he jumped, he was grabbed by the ankle by an invisible person, fell onto the ship with a "splat," and then was dragged to a corner, swung 360 degrees in the air like a pendulum, round and round before being thrown back onto the deck.
The Sunny was also controlled by that transparent person, stuck on a giant spider web.
Originally, Orochimaru didn't intend to bother with these minor matters, as no substantial harm had been done.
Luffy and the others should be able to handle it. Franky's bag is very good, it has everything, and he can even see outside... He can just lie in the bag without going out.
Orochimaru indeed thought that at the time, but that was on the premise that he wasn't suddenly pulled out by a transparent hand and left floating in the air.
The others blinked as they watched Orochimaru being caught, thinking: Is this what they call walking into a trap...?
While everyone was mourning for that unknown thing, Orochimaru instantly grew larger, and a single tail slap sent the person directly onto the outer wall of the restaurant, impossible to peel off.
The figure gradually revealed itself, a creature that looked like both a leopard and a human... How to describe it... This person's facial features seemed to have been deliberately stitched together... Except for the eyes, the rest was completely a leopard.
The transparent man, Absalom, covered the injured area, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the snake, knew he had hit a wall, and forcibly activated his Devil Fruit ability to disappear.
Orochimaru ignored the person who ran away; he chose! To take a bath first!!!
He flew straight back into the bag, and sprawled out in the mini bathtub Franky had specially prepared for him [→ approximately like this].
Luffy took the opportunity to get off the ship, looking at Zoro, the only one left on board, "Anyway, Orochimaru is taking a bath, and I'm idle, so let's go together, I'll share my bento with you."
Zoro grinned, looking at the snake bathing in the backpack behind Robin, wondering how spoiled these people wanted to make him.
"Seriously," Zoro sighed helplessly, scratching his head.
"Forget it, forget it, it'll be fun to see the faces of those idiots," he muttered to himself as he jumped off the ship.
"Yosh! Let's go!!" Luffy excitedly raised his hand, leading a group of people towards the interior of Ghost Island.
Sanji looked at the dirty, miasma-filled steps and complained, "Why is it a downward staircase right from the start? This environment is really bad, no wonder Orochimaru refused to walk himself."
"It's just this kind of entrance, no use thinking too much. He's been like that since he was little, I don't know where his obsession with cleanliness came from. Oh~ It's all skeletons down there... Ah...!"
Luffy mumbled as he walked down, suddenly seeing a strange dog, one body with two dog heads and one fox head, its eyes shining, he swallowed, and subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth (,,•́ ؎ •̀,,).
Sanji looked at this thing, not very enthusiastic, "Oh... it's a Three-Headed Hellhound. Hell is clearly safer."
Orochimaru heard Sanji's voice, a little curious, and observed through the periscope... He quickly rinsed his eyes with the bathwater... What kind of shoddy composite is this!!!! He couldn't even make this kind of trash when he was a teenager.
Robin looked at it, "Ara... it's quite cute."
Orochimaru poked Robin's back through a mechanism, asking her not to equate his cuteness with such a shoddy product.
Luffy held up his insect net, "I wonder if this thing tastes good!"
The two dogs and one fox looked at this group of people, scared as if struck by lightning. Luffy was still imitating dog barks to scare the dog... Zoro pulled out his sword, speechless, "Let's just cut it."
"No! Let me tame it!" Luffy reached out to stop Zoro.
"Huh?? Idiot, even if it's a dog, it's still the king of dogs, right?"
"No! A dog is a dog! Good boy~ Give me your paw," Luffy stubbornly walked over, extended his hand, and then was bitten by the two dogs and fox on his left hand, right foot, and head respectively.
Luffy gently stroked the dog's nose with his right hand, his voice soft, "Good boy~ Good boy~ Such a good dog, just like that."
The three heads slowly opened their mouths, releasing Luffy, "Good boy~ Slowly let go... Slowly~ What a good dog." Luffy looked at the Three-Headed Hellhound in front of him and smiled (˵¯͒♦¯͒˵).
Then he punched the three dogs right through, smashing them against the wall. "Bastard!!! It stinks!" Luffy looked at the smoking lump with disgust.
Zoro and Sanji were speechless... "No... no... that's not how you train them, is it ᓫ(° ⌑ °)ǃ"
In the end, Luffy still sat on the back of that thing, and the "Three-Headed Hellhound" listlessly carried Luffy forward, with Luffy smiling very happily.
"Orochimaru's method is really useful. I just came in and already found something so fun. This island is truly exciting."
Robin looked at the dog with its head down, "It's very listless, this thing."
"Well... don't randomly pity the losers, it will hurt their self-esteem."
Robin and Zoro walked on either side of the "Three-Headed Hellhound," chatting, with Franky bringing up the rear.
Sanji walked at the very front, jumping around and calling Nami's name.
"Hey~ Where are you~ Nami-swan~"
