"Momonosuke-sama!"
Kin'emon and the others, who had fallen, quickly climbed onto the Thousand Sunny and pulled Momonosuke off Luffy's face.
"Huh? Wh-what happened?"
Luffy, who had just woken up from his coma with what looked like ketchup all over his mouth, looked confusedly at the unfamiliar weirdos before him.
"My, my balls... my balls..."
Even though Momonosuke was in so much pain he was nearly passing out, he still cried and wailed while pointing accusingly at Luffy's mouth.
"Huh?"
Luffy was even more baffled and looked towards the ship's doctor, Chopper, who had been taking care of him while he was unconscious.
"Chopper, what's up with these guys?"
"Ah, well... uh..."
The reindeer also looked awkward.
He couldn't very well say, 'You ate his balls', could he?
"Luffy!"
The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates rushed back.
Hearing Momonosuke's howling and seeing their captain's messy mouth, they vaguely guessed what had happened.
For a moment, everyone, regardless of gender, felt a chill of disgust.
'So gross...'
"Cough! Cough!"
"Um... if you don't mind, let me stop the bleeding for him? Although the balls are definitely gone..."
Chopper coughed dryly, trying to change the subject.
Kin'emon, Raizo, and the others glared at the Straw Hat Pirates, their eyes practically spitting fire.
But as Chopper said, none of them knew medicine, and they could only tear their clothes to plug Momonosuke's wound.
It was better to leave it to a professional at a time like this.
Chopper transformed into his human form and quickly carried Momonosuke into the infirmary.
At that moment, Lott, holding Miku, also landed on the Thousand Sunny's artificial lawn using Flight Technique.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lott couldn't hold back his laughter.
'Boros really picked a great place, offering me such a spectacular circus act right off the bat.'
"Hmm?"
Lott then noticed the newspaper on the ground.
Looking down, his eyes fell on the eye-catching headline that took up half the front page.
"Heh~ So that guy Boros killed the 'Respect King', huh?"
Lott felt things were getting more and more interesting.
"Lott, I remember this Shanks… he often talks in the group."
Miku suddenly said.
Well, it's not surprising. After all, Shanks was practically the Planet Pirate's meddler, and he had to stick his nose into everything.
Mentioning the name 'Shanks', the expressions of the entire Straw Hat Pirates changed dramatically again.
After seeing today's newspaper, their next step was to find Shanks, or rather, the Red Hair Pirates.
Shanks was Luffy's guide, and his status in Luffy's heart was no less than Ace's.
When Ace was captured before the Summit War, Luffy bravely charged into Impel Down to save him.
Now, seeing the news of Shanks's death, Luffy wanted to go even more.
Not to mention the Red Hair Pirates' sniper, Yasopp, was Usopp's father, so Usopp was equally anxious.
"Everyone, I've already privately contacted Nekomamushi and Kawamatsu. They sent the locations of Zou and Wano. Shall we split up?"
Raizo said to Kin'emon and the others.
He had just used the Universe Chat Room to message the other Nine Red Scabbards' members, asking them to send their coordinates.
It had to be said, this function of the Universe Chat Room was really convenient.
It completely replaced Vivre Cards.
Though it couldn't display a person's life signs like Vivre Cards could.
For example, right now, although the newspaper reported the Red Hair Pirates were wiped out by the Dark Matter Pirates, Luffy and Usopp still held onto a sliver of hope.
They wanted to see for themselves.
"Yeah, yeah! That's more efficient. I think we can also contact my brother Izo. Maybe we can get him to persuade Whitebeard to help."
Kikunojo remembered his cross-dressing brother who served under the great pirate Whitebeard.
If they could get Whitebeard to come, retaking Wano from Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi would be almost a certainty.
Lott, who overheard their conversation, looked at them with an expression of seeing idiots.
'What, you know how to call for backup after time traveling?'
'Why didn't you call for backup 20 years ago?'
'Whitebeard was still at his peak back then, and there was also Roger.'
'Calling those two over would have turned Kaido into sashimi in minutes.'
One could only say those who followed the 'heroic good men' had something wrong with their brains.
"But that means we have to split into three groups. We don't have that many ships..."
Kin'emon said worriedly.
If they split up like this.
They would have to divide their current team into three groups.
Going to Wano, Zou, and to find Whitebeard, respectively.
"Brother Izo said he can come pick us up, but we still need two ships for Zou and Wano."
Kikunojo said troubled.
"Um... if you don't mind, we can give you two? As long as you can accept small lifeboats..."
Robin suddenly spoke to them.
After all, their captain ate two of the other guy's balls, so they could at least compensate with two ships.
"Really?! Th-thank you."
Kikunojo said with pleasant surprise.
After all, every second counted now, and they couldn't afford any delay.
They hoped to return to Wano as soon as possible.
"Then I'll take this ship for Miku and me."
Lott suddenly spoke, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.
They saw him pointing a finger at the Thousand Sunny, looking completely at ease.
Nami stared with her mouth agape in shock, "Y-you can fly, right? Wh-why are you stealing our ship?"
"When you come to a new planet, you naturally want to experience the local customs, otherwise, it's not fun."
Lott felt this was like how, even if he had a Lamborghini, he'd still want to experience horseback riding when traveling on the grasslands.
Since he came to the Planet Pirate, how could he not take a ship for a spin?
The entire Straw Hat Pirates collectively felt numb.
'Damn, that makes sense, and it's also so damn bandit-like.'
'Oh wait, we were pirates, also bandits.'
"You stupid bastard! You're too unreasonable-"
Luffy rushed forward, wanting to argue with Lott.
Fortunately, his two right-hand men, Zoro and Sanji, were quick.
They quickly grabbed him from left and right.
Zoro: "Luffy! Don't act recklessly!"
Sanji: "Don't you still have your dream of becoming the Pirate King? Do you want to throw your life away here?!"
"Alright, I'm using this ship now. All of you, get off."
Lott pointed outside, his tone calm but carrying an overbearing force.
The Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other. Although they were terrified of Lott, no one moved to get off first.
After all, for them, the Thousand Sunny was also a member of the crew.
Abandoning it was like abandoning a companion.
Lott glanced at the group and raised his hand, preparing to blast them off.
Well, 'blast' in the physical sense.
The moment she noticed Lott's raised hand, Robin's expression changed drastically. She hurried forward, placing herself between Lott and her companions, and shouted:
"Everyone, let's get off first."
As she said this, Robin, with her back to Lott, desperately signaled her companions with her eyes.
