Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Sanji—"

After shouting, without saying another word, he used his two legs as a slingshot.

With a "whoosh," he shot himself onto the island.

It was so fast, like a banana-colored lightning bolt.

"This guy is still as energetic as ever."

Nami shook her head helplessly, but a doting smile appeared on her face.

Without delay, everyone quickly docked the Sunny in a secluded spot and then hurriedly followed it onto the island.

Brooke and Pedro boarded the Shark submarine and headed towards the core area along the river.

They were entrusted with a great mission: to steal the precious rubbings.

Fanny looked helpless, but he still used his telekinesis to lightly land on the island with a few people.

Who would have thought that a small accident would happen as soon as we entered the Dessert Forest?

Sanji vanished as if he'd evaporated into thin air; he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Where's Sanji? He was just here!"

Luffy was so anxious that he scratched his head and widened his eyes, searching the whole world.

"That's strange, how could they suddenly disappear?"

Chopper was also jumping around anxiously, his little head full of question marks.

In his haste, Luffy immediately switched to "gluttonous mode" and, together with Chopper and Carrot, began a devastating devouring of the forest.

The scene was like three gluttons who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast and pounced on it without a second thought.

They stuffed twigs, leaves, and all sorts of snacks into their mouths.

"You guys are really hungry! You're eating anything!"

Nami quickly ran over to stop them, but the three of them just wouldn't stop.

Just then, Nami's expression suddenly changed. She closed her eyes and used her mental network to sense everything around her.

After a while, she slowly spoke: "Yes, this forest is alive."

His voice carried a hint of surprise and worry.

"You bet I felt something was off the moment I walked in."

Fanny chimed in, pulling a lollipop from his pocket and shoving it into Nami's mouth without a word.

"Don't panic. Since we're here, let's make the best of it. We'd better not see Sanji before the engagement ceremony."

Fanny spoke mysteriously, with an enigmatic smile on his face.

"what do you mean……"

Nami's eyes lit up, and she quickly grasped the general idea of ​​Fanny's plan.

But before she could ask any more questions, suddenly, there was a loud "crack".

A gigantic mouth emerged from the ground and devoured the bridge beneath their feet.

"Mom!"

Everyone was so frightened that they turned pale and almost fell into the abyss.

Fortunately, Fanny and Nami reacted quickly enough, one transforming into golden light and the other into lightning, instantly dodging the fatal blow.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the one who made the move was a large crocodile wearing a hat.

When the crocodile saw that it was a human, it seemed a little embarrassed, scratched its head, and said very politely.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I thought it was a snack."

After saying that, he even let out a burp.

Everyone was speechless. This Whole Cake Island was truly full of wonders, even the crocodiles were so bizarre.

No sooner had the crocodile left than another strange event occurred.

A mirror image of Luffy that looks exactly like him suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

At the same time, Sanji, who had previously gone missing, reappeared in the tree.

"Sanji!"

Luffy shouted excitedly and reached out to grab Sanji.

Sanji heard someone call his name, paused slightly, and then left without turning his head.

That heartless figure turned his back, chilling Luffy's heart to the bone.

"Sanji, wait for us!"

Seeing this, Chopper and Carrot immediately gave chase.

Fanny quickly grabbed Nami's hand, who was still in a daze, and followed behind.

As for that mirror image of Luffy, let Luffy deal with it himself.

Let him challenge himself; maybe he can achieve a new breakthrough.

Who knew that on the way, they would encounter another big face.

The big-faced guy buried half of himself in the ground and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth, "I want to drink juice! I want to drink juice!"

The sound was like thunder, so loud it almost deafened people.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Chopper looked helpless, but he still discussed it with Carrot and decided to grant his wish.

They searched in the forest for a long time and finally found some juice, which they carefully handed to Big Face.

Unexpectedly, they escaped a disaster because of this glass of juice.

It turns out that Cracker, one of the "Three Generals" who was hiding in the shadows, was preparing to carry out his plan.

But this sudden demand for juice from that big-faced guy disrupted everything.

Cracker was furious and, in a fit of rage, dispatched Randolph, the crane knight who looked like a rabbit.

"Hmph, how dare you ruin my plans! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Cracker gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

When Carrot saw Randolph, a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "No one else should interfere! This is a battle for the rabbits!"

After saying that, he charged towards Randolph.

At first, Carrot judged from his appearance that Randolph was also a Mink.

However, after several fierce battles, she discovered that Randolph did not use the Mink Tribe's unique "electric" techniques, thus ruling out the possibility that he was a Mink Tribe member.

"So you're not from the Mink tribe, huh? Well then, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Ball lightning!"

Carrot chuckled sweetly, her Observation Haki locking onto Randolph's mount, Crane, and she unleashed a powerful punch that instantly stunned the crane with a strong electric current.

Randolph lost his balance and almost fell flat on his face.

Carrot didn't linger and turned to run.

She knew that now was not the time to linger in the fight; she needed to rejoin the others as soon as possible.

Luffy, on the other hand, played around with his mirror image for a few moves.

This mirror image of Luffy is like his shadow; whatever move Luffy makes, he makes the same move, making him quite difficult to deal with.

Luffy seemed to be having a lot of fun, as if he were playing a game with himself.

"Haha, this is quite interesting!"

Luffy laughed loudly and fired a Gum-Gum Rocket.

Mirror Luffy was not to be outdone and also used Gum-Gum Rocket.

The two rocket launchers collided in mid-air with a loud bang, shaking the surrounding trees.

Just then, Luffy saw Nami and the others running away.

He couldn't care less about playing with his mirror image Luffy anymore and immediately ran after him.

Before they had gone far, they ran into that big face again, the one asking for juice.

……

Chapter 190 The Truth of the Temptation Forest, General Cracker's Surprise Attack.

Just as Nami had predicted, the moment she stepped into the forest, she felt an eeriness permeating everything.

This isn't some kind of dessert forest; it's clearly a giant trap, a tempting forest that's impossible to guard against!

As soon as they walked in, everyone was stunned.

All the flowers, plants, and trees were actually alive!

And she can sing, her voice rising and falling like a mantra in your ear, so noisy it's driving your head crazy.

Even worse, the eternal pointer also completely fails here.

As if under some kind of spell, the hands spun wildly on the dial, unable to point in the right direction at all.

Now look what's happened, they're completely lost in this alluring forest.

No matter which direction you go, you'll always run into that strange fellow, Pound.

This guy was like a ghost, popping up from time to time, scaring everyone's hearts out.

"Crimson Piercing!"

Just as Nami was being approached step by step by something that looked exactly like Luffy.

With lightning speed, Fanny pointed his finger, and a red beam shot out like lightning, instantly piercing through the "Luffy".
