Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 242 The Secret of the Full Moon Transformation

On the soft bed, Wukong was fast asleep.

He must have been dreaming about something, because a smile appeared on his lips, making him look incredibly innocent and adorable.

After an unknown amount of time, as the sleep bubble that was always on his lips suddenly burst, he groggily woke up from his dream and sat up with sleepy eyes.

Huh? What's this?

He stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked around blankly.

This, this is my room?

Am I sleeping?

Looking at the familiar surroundings, he felt a little dazed.

He seemed to remember fighting with enemies before. Could he be mistaken?

With this question in mind, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went out the door.

As he approached the living room along the passageway, he heard his companion's voice coming from inside, so he quickened his pace and went in.

"Hey! Everyone's here." He said with a grin, holding his head.

He then asked curiously, "By the way, why am I on the ship? Wasn't I fighting that big guy? Where is it?"

In the living room, Nami, Sanji, and Robin were sitting around the table, discussing something.

Suddenly hearing Wukong's voice, they turned to look and saw Wukong with a puzzled expression. After a moment of stunned silence, a strange look appeared in their eyes.

Goku blinked. He felt that Nami and the others were staring at him strangely, without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me like that?" Wukong scratched his head.

Nami opened her mouth as if to say something, but after opening and closing it several times, she still couldn't say anything.

"Ahem, um, Wukong."

Sanji broke the silence.

He rubbed his teeth together and asked cautiously, "Wukong, do you remember what happened before?"

"I remember, wasn't I fighting that big guy?" Wukong asked, looking puzzled.

"Ahem, I might not have been quite right. I meant, do you remember what happened before you went to sleep?"

"Before going to sleep?" Wukong blinked, then asked instead of answering, "I'd completely forgotten why I was sleeping here."

Sanji, Nami, and Robin looked at each other in bewilderment.

It seems that Wukong has no idea what earth-shattering things he did before.

But this question must be clarified: how exactly did Wukong transform into that powerful and terrifying giant ape, causing nearly half of Oni Island to disappear with just one attack?

They still vividly remember that horrifying scene, and the thought of it still sends shivers down their spines.

This kind of disaster was brought to the vast ghost island.

What if, by some chance, Wukong turns into a giant ape on the ship? Wouldn't they be doomed if the ship sank and everyone perished?

Wukong looked at them with confusion and bewilderment, wondering what was wrong with them, as they all had strange expressions.

Nami rubbed her brows hard, finally deciding to tell Goku what had happened.

"Goku, have you really forgotten? Before, you transformed into a gigantic ape and easily defeated that big guy you were fighting, and even Moria was caught in the crossfire."

She selectively told Wukong, omitting the fact that the giant ape had destroyed nearly half of the ghost island.

Although life is rare on Ghost Island, it is not completely devoid of life. There must have been a certain number of creatures on the piece of Ghost Island that was destroyed. She was worried that Wukong would feel guilty if he knew about this, so she chose to keep it a secret.

Sanji and Robin both understood this and chose to keep it a secret.

Upon hearing Nami's words, Goku's eyes widened in disbelief as he pointed at himself and exclaimed, "Me? You mean I easily defeated that big guy?"

His focus was entirely on what came after, completely ignoring the earlier mention of himself turning into a giant ape.

"Yeah, you not only defeated him, but you also defeated Moria. Didn't you notice, Goku? Your shadow and mine are back." Sanji raised his arm and waved it, casting a swaying shadow on the ground under the light from the overhead lamp.

Upon hearing this, Wukong looked down, waved his right hand in front of him, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"It's true! My shadow has really returned!" He looked at his shadow on the ground with surprise.

"Yohoo! That's great! My shadow is back, hahaha!" He jumped around happily, making a few funny gestures as if he were playing with his shadow.

"Hey, hey, hey, while this is something to be happy about, can you please not ignore the other things I just mentioned?"

Nami's forehead vein throbbed.

Defeating the enemy and reclaiming your shadow is certainly something to be happy about, but shouldn't you be more concerned about turning into a giant ape?

"Huh? What else did you just say, Nami?" Goku scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Suddenly realizing something, she opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Oh, right!"

Nami thought he had finally remembered that she had turned into a giant ape, and thought to herself: You finally remembered.

But to everyone's surprise, what Goku said next was, "I'm hungry, I want to eat, Sanji."

Bang!

Nami collapsed headfirst.

He then got up and slapped Sanji on the shoulder, forcibly pressing Sanji back down as he instinctively tried to stand up to prepare food for Goku.

"Don't go yet! Get him some food after we've finished talking about this!"

After saying that, Nami took a deep breath and looked at Goku seriously, saying, "Goku, you transformed into a giant ape before. Think about it carefully, do you really not remember that?"

Seeing Nami's serious expression, Goku stopped joking and started to get serious as well.

He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't remember."

He asked in disbelief, "I've turned into a giant ape? Is this real?"

"real!"

Nami, Sanji, and Robin all nodded in agreement.

"Wukong, since you can't remember this, then think carefully about what happened before you transformed into an ape, when you were fighting that giant zombie?"

"Start thinking about it from the moment you unleashed that Kamehameha wave."

Nami changed her questioning approach, preparing to guide Goku to recall events before he transformed into a Great Ape.

The key reason why Wukong transformed into a giant ape may very well lie here!

She, Sanji, and Robin all pretended to listen attentively, trying to find it in Goku's memories!

Goku scratched his head, pondering, and said, "After I unleashed the Kamehameha, that big guy blocked it for me. It's amazing! I never expected it could block my attack!"

Nami and the others listened quietly, without interrupting Goku for saying anything unnecessary.

"Then, then that big guy actually used a Kamehameha wave too, which really startled me! Why did he know that move? I still don't understand."

Oz knows your moves because he has your shadow; whatever you can do, he can do too.

Nami and the other two silently thought to themselves that they already knew this from Brook.

However, they did not choose to explain now, but continued to listen quietly to Wukong's recollection.

"Then, then I was blown away, and my body was in so much pain, like my bones were about to fall apart."

Recalling that scene, Wukong suddenly felt a dull ache in his body. After all, he had indeed suffered considerable injuries, and although those injuries had healed somewhat, they were not fully recovered.

"And then, what happened next?" Wukong frowned and tried to recall.

"Oh right, then I was sitting on the ground when someone said the moon was beautiful, so I looked over and it really was beautiful, round and white, just like a fragrant meat bun."

As Wukong spoke, a few drops of drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Did you see the full moon?

Nami and the other two finally heard some information that seemed worth noting, and began to think carefully about whether there was any connection between them.

But before they could come up with anything, Wukong suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh no! I can see a full moon!"

Ok? !

Nami and the others all looked up and looked over.

Wukong, clutching his head and looking like he'd gotten into trouble, paced back and forth: "My grandpa said that you should never look at the moon when it's full, or a terrifying monster will appear!"

"How did I manage to see it by accident? Wait... where's the monster? Has the monster appeared?"

Wukong suddenly stopped, blinked and tried to recall, but found that his memory seemed to have inexplicably stopped after he saw the full moon, and his memory after that was only the situation when he just woke up.

As he racked his brains to recall, Nami and the others were struck as if by a bolt from the blue, their heads buzzing.

They gasped, exchanging horrified glances.

Monsters appear when you see a full moon?!

This, this, this matches up perfectly!

That giant ape must be the monster that Wukong's grandfather was talking about. He didn't let Wukong look directly at the full moon because he was worried that Wukong would become that irrational giant ape that only knew how to destroy!

Thinking about it now, it seems that the giant ape turning back into Sun Wukong was also related to the moon. At that time, the light suddenly dimmed, probably because the moon was blocked by the gray fog covering the sky!

So this is the truth!

A storm raged within them; they never imagined the truth would be like this.

Wukong actually changed like that just because he saw the full moon. Why hadn't he ever done that before?

Oh right, his grandfather forbade him to see the full moon, so Wukong always followed this rule and didn't go to see the full moon.

But unexpectedly, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, he still saw it, which is why he ended up like that.

While Goku was still wondering why his memories had suddenly been interrupted, Nami and the others had complicated expressions and were quietly discussing whether to tell Goku the truth.

Nami: "Should we tell Goku? His grandfather has been keeping this a secret. Should we continue to keep it a secret too?"

Sanji: "Phew~ I think we have to say, keeping it a secret isn't a solution. One day, Goku will accidentally see the full moon like before, and we can't predict what will happen then. It's better to tell him now, so he can fully understand this and consciously avoid paying attention to the moon in the future, minimizing the chances of him transforming."

Robin: "I agree with Sanji's point of view, and I've thought of something that might help Goku resolve this potential problem."

Nami and Sanji: (Eyes wide) Huh? What did you say? You can help Goku get rid of this threat?!

At that moment, they realized how fortunate they were to have such a knowledgeable and intelligent older sister on board.

After reaching a consensus, they turned around and looked at Wukong in unison.

"Ahem! Wukong."

Nami took the lead in speaking, coughing to draw Goku's attention.

"What's wrong?" Wukong asked, puzzled.

"We want to tell you something very important to you, Goku. You'd better be prepared," Nami said solemnly.

"Something very important?" Wukong was increasingly confused.

Yes, that's what it is...

'

Next, Nami carefully chose her words and told Goku the whole truth about how he would turn into a giant ape when he saw the full moon.

When Wukong learned that he was the monster his grandfather had mentioned that appeared on the night of the full moon, he was completely dumbfounded.

"So, so it was me who killed Grandpa?" His expression suddenly turned sorrowful.

He knew that his grandfather had been trampled to death by a monster that appeared on the night of the full moon. His grandfather had repeatedly told him not to look at the full moon to avoid the monster appearing. He never expected that the monster would be himself.

As he recounted the story, Nami and the others learned of this secret and felt a pang of guilt.

How could this happen? How could such a thing be?

If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have rushed to tell Wukong the truth now.

Now look what's happened! Wukong knows he was the one who killed his grandfather. How heartbroken he must be!

They were filled with mixed emotions, frantically trying to figure out what words to use to comfort Wukong.

But before they could even comfort him, Wukong pulled himself out of his grief.

"Grandpa told me that what's past is past, and there's no way to change anything. You can't let sad things hold you back; you have to live in the present!" Wukong sniffed and raised his hand to wipe away the glistening tears from the corners of his eyes.

This was the first time he had shed tears in front of everyone, which made everyone feel heartbroken and deeply moved by his strong demeanor.

Wukong really has a wonderful grandfather.

The same thought popped into everyone's mind.

After a while, seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Robin looked at Goku and slowly said, "Goku, the Full Moon Transformation isn't something that only happens to you. As far as I know, there is a race in this world that possesses the skill of Full Moon Transformation."

Have you ever considered that you might have some connection to this race?

Upon hearing this, not only Goku, but also Nami and Sanji stared wide-eyed.

What?! There's such a race?!

"This race is called the Mink Tribe. It is said that they have a lot of fur on their bodies and, like you, a tail. I've always wondered if you have any connection with them. Now that you've undergone a full moon transformation, exactly like their race, I can't help but think that you might be from this race."

Robin slowly uttered these words, leaving Goku speechless with shock.

What?! I'm from the Mink Tribe?!

Is this...is this real?!

When Wukong first heard about the possible origins of his own, he felt bewildered and at a loss.

"Then, where does this race live? Can we go find them so we can verify whether Goku is related to them?" Nami asked after recovering from her shock.

"Legend has it that they live on an island called Zou, an island that moves around the sea, and very few people can find them," Robin said, sharing the limited information she had.

"It should be in the New World of the Grand Line. Although it's hard to find, I think we should give it a try. As far as I know, their Full Moon Transformation allows them to maintain their rationality. If Goku can learn this, then his transformations will no longer cause unnecessary harm to others, but will become one of his trump cards in terms of power."
