Inuarashi: "What's going on? Why is the elephant master reacting so strongly?"

Cat Viper: "Even in the white frame video just now, the elephant master only seemed to make sounds that Luffy, Momonosuke and the others could hear..."

Crane: "The elephant's reaction is so abnormal! It's like he was frightened, or encountered something unimaginable!"

Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha! I'm not frightened, I'm just too excited! Hahaha!"

Edward Newgate: "Is the mystery really going to be revealed...??"

Rox D. Gibeck: "What are you two talking about??"

Zhan Guo: "If the 'answer' to the mystery you're talking about is really going to be revealed, then we'll definitely see the answer soon..."

"Joey Boy..."

[“Joey Boy..., are you finally back?”]

A voice that seemed to have come from eternity echoed quietly in Luffy's mind.

【"What!"】

[Hearing this sudden voice, Luffy's eyes widened! ]

He looks around, confused. "Who is it? Who's talking to me?"

"What's wrong, Luffy?"

[Noticing Luffy's strangeness, Nami immediately grabbed his arm with concern~~~]

["Someone is talking to me..." Luffy answered Nami while looking around.]

"I am the giant elephant under your feet... Joyboy... You're back!" That voice appeared in Luffy's mind again~~~

Luffy asked: "Hey, hey, hey... Are you talking to me? Who is this Joy Boy you're talking about?"

"Joyboy...you are Joyboy...you are back!" the elephant master said.

【"Joey Boy?"】

【Luffy muttered, then looked at Nami and the others.】

[He pointed to his feet and said, "This giant elephant said I was Joyboy..."]

Chapter 190: A Promise Across 800 Years of Space and Time! (Subscribe!)

Sengoku: "Joey Boy!? What's going on? Doesn't the information from the historical text stele on Fishman Island say that Joy Boy lived 800 years ago...?"

Crane: "Yeah, I remember that too!! Joyboy made a promise with the mermaid princess 800 years ago, but he couldn't keep it..."

Nami: "Luffy is Joy Boy...??? What does that mean??"

Usopp: "Hey, hey, hey! Is that giant elephant suffering from Alzheimer's?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "I'm Joyboy?? I'm Monkey D. Luffy...!!! I'm the man who's going to become the Pirate King!!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Hahahaha!!! Luffy..., since the Lord of the Elephants said so, it seems there's no mistake!!! You are Joy Boy!! If you don't believe me, let those five old men in Mary Geoise come out and explain~~~"

Edward Newgate: "Actually, haven't you all understood yet?? In the red-framed video just now, in the Battle of Marineford, the World Government didn't hesitate to directly dispatch the Five Elders and the Knights of God to completely destroy Luffy! Didn't everyone understand what was going on before? Now think about it carefully...!! Gulala..."

Shiki: "Holy shit!!! So that's the reason!!! You guys have been playing dumb for so long, and it turns out you already knew what it was!!!"

Monkey D. Garp: "Joeyboy... How could Luffy be a Joyboy? Impossible! This must be a mistake!! I was outside the delivery room when he was born!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Haha, Garp, you idiot, haven't you figured it out yet? Joyboy isn't a person's name!! It's the title of a certain kind of 'king'!! Just like Aquaman, only one Aquaman appears in The Little Mermaid once every few hundred years!! And the same goes for Joyboy!!!"

Kozuki Oden: "It's obviously "800". Since Joyboy and Princess Poseidon lived in the same era years ago, it should be no problem for Joyboy and Poseidon of this generation to live in the same era!!"

Basil Hawkins: "So that's it...!! Straw Hat Luffy is actually Joyboy? But why him?"

Izambaron V. Nasujuro: "Humph! So what if Joy Boy!!! Didn't Joy Boy from 800 years ago die just as well? This generation of Joy Boy won't have a good ending either!!!"

Marcus Mazsheng: "Don't think that Joyboy is some sacred title. It's just a title made up by people 800 years ago!!"

Rocks D. Gibeck: "Finally I understand...! Five Elder Stars, this Joyboy isn't as simple as you say...?? Otherwise... why would you be so desperate to kill him? The more you fear him from living in this world, the more terrifying he is!!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Rocks, you're quite clever! You're right, this era... is called Joyboy! Why is the World Government afraid of Joyboy? It's because Joyboy's appearance will foreshadow the collapse of the World Government~~~Hahahaha!!!"

Topman Vochulisheng: "Don't be ridiculous! He's just a pirate! We want to kill him simply because we don't like uncontrollable factors like this! To say he has a special identity or mission, hahahaha, that's just a joke!!"

Shepard ten Peter Saint: "What nonsense! The World Government represents justice, how could it be threatened by a mere pirate!!"

【"Joey Boy??"】

[Hearing this, Robin frowned slightly! !]

She immediately thought of the historical text she had read on Fishman Island.

"Isn't Joy Boy from 800 years ago?" Robin frowned.

“I’m a little confused too~~~”

Luffy frowned, then he tried to ask the host in his mind: "What happened here?"

[The elephant master replied: "The man next to you was leading a group of pirates..."]

[The elephant master told Luffy what happened before! ]

【really......】

[Just as Luffy guessed, he can communicate with the elephant master in his heart! !]

Nami: "Wait!! In the white frame video before, it seems that Luffy can only hear the voice of the elephant master, but can't actively communicate with the elephant master?"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "That's right! I remember that too! It seems that only Momonosuke can talk to the elephant master and give him orders."

Trafalgar Law: "The situations of the Straw Hat bosses on both sides are not the same. Think about the differences between them..."

Monkey D. Luffy: "The one over there is stronger than me??

Gol D. Roger: "Haha! It's obviously because of the awakening of the fruit ability! When Luffy in the white frame video arrived at Zou, his fruit ability had not yet awakened, but Red Luffy had already awakened. That's the difference!!"

Monkey D. Dragon: "Mr. Roger is right! Just now, when Red Luffy activated his awakening form, the elephant-lord vibrated... It seems that it is indeed the awakening of the fruit power!"

Nico Robin: "So..., what is the significance of Luffy's fruit awakening?"

As the only survivor of O'Hara, Robin is keenly aware that something is wrong!!!

After learning about the tragedy that Jack and his gang had committed against Zou, Luffy's heart was instantly filled with rage!!!

If the two sides are engaged in a national or family feud, Luffy won't have any opinion, no matter how vicious the means...

[But... Jack brought his men to Zou to capture someone, but the people in Zou said there was no such person. Jack then released poison gas, killing almost everyone in Zou, even the baby!!!]

[This..., absolutely damn it! ! ]

[Luffy was about to hit Jack here, but he pulled the gas mask off his face, threw it to the ground, and crushed it with one foot! ! ! ]

【"ah......!!"】

[When Jack saw that his gas mask was gone, his face changed drastically!!!]

[Without caring about anything else, he turned and ran towards the edge of the giant elephant, then leaped down...]

[That KK poison gas, even Quinn praised its terrifying power! ! ]

[Jack doesn't want to be poisoned by the poison gas he released...]

[Jack jumped off the elephant's back and breathed a sigh of relief~~~]

Even if he falls into the sea, he won't drown because he's a merman. He just needs to wait for his men to fish him out of the sea...

But he didn't feel happy for even two seconds before a huge hand suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed him back...!!

Luffy pressed Jack onto the elephant's back, his palms wrapped with armed Haki and Domineering Haki, and twisted them hard! !

[Crack! ! —]

【Jack's neck was instantly broken~~~】

[However..., as a user of an ancient animal-type ability, Jack won't die so easily~~~]

He howled in pain, lying on the ground, unable to move.

[“Bucky, concentrate the poison gas in the air and pour it all into his mouth!!!”]

Luffy pointed at Jack with a cold gaze and said.

【"OK!"】

Buggy didn't ask why, he knew Luffy had the right reasons for doing this...!!

Buggy first extended a finger to touch the poisonous gas in the air ahead~~~

[Under the protection of Nami's slippery shield, the hand that touched Buggy immediately slipped away, causing no harm to Buggy...]

【But at the same time, Buggy's fruit ability takes effect on the poisonous gas that comes into contact with it! ! !】

[“Good! Looks like it won’t be difficult!”]

After trying it, Buggy gained confidence and activated his fruit ability~~~

[“Senri-splitting Buggy!!——”]

[His body suddenly split into 1000 pieces of different sizes~~~]

[Then, Buggy looked at Nami: "Nami!"]

Nami activates her fruit ability, covering these 1000 "Baki fragments" with a slippery protective film! ! !

[The next moment~~]

[Baki's 1000 fragments flew out quickly and were quickly captured in the air ahead...]

[All the poisonous gases that triggered the Splitting Fruit's effect quickly converged towards the same location in the sky~~~]

[For a moment, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, countless poison gas molecules continuously condensed into a poisonous ball in the sky~~]

[The poisonous ball spins rapidly, condensing into a larger and larger mass! ! ]

[Not long after, all the poisonous gas in this area was swept over~~~]

[The poisonous ball continues to condense and solidify under Buggy's control...]

Even with the naked eye, one can clearly see that this toxic ball is terrifyingly dense! !

【"go!"】

[Bucky waves his hand~~]

[The poison ball immediately flew in front of Jack, and then a line of poison gas separated and drilled into Jack's mouth...]

[“Ah!! No…don’t…!!! Ugh…”]

Jack screamed in fear when he saw so much poison gas rushing directly into his mouth.

[But before I could even finish a sentence...]

[Gurgle~Gurgle~~~]

The surging poison gas left him speechless~~

【As the poison gas entered, its toxicity quickly became apparent!!!】

Jack turned pale, like weathered limestone, and looked incredibly creepy.

"Great, take him with you and use him to purify the air here..."

【Luffy said, glancing at the half-dead Jack.】

At this time, Robin said: "Luffy, the giant elephant just said you are Joyboy. Does the giant elephant know something?"

"I just asked it, and it kept insisting it was a sinner...!! But it seems it can only communicate in simple ways, and doesn't seem to know much..." Luffy explained.

"Is that so..." Robin pondered.

Luffy thought about it and said, "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I can understand what this giant elephant means. Joy Boy should not be the name of a person, but a title similar to "Sea King" or "Pluto". Just like Shirahoshi, she is the Sea King, and there were also Sea Kings 800 years ago..."

"You make a lot of sense!! I think so too." Robin nodded.

"And don't you think it's interesting? The historical text we saw earlier on Fishman Island said that 800 years ago, Young Joyboy made a promise to the then-Peach Princess. He promised to let Fishman Island live under real sunlight and to take the Mermaid Princess for a walk in a real forest..."

"And now, if the giant elephant didn't lie to me, then... I, 'Joey Boy,' am taking Shirahoshi, 'Sea King,' for a walk in a real forest. This is like fulfilling a cross-dimensional promise made 800 years ago!"

[“All of this… doesn’t it seem like it was destined…?”]
