"How is it? Scared now? Not everyone dares to go to this place. You must have heard about the situation there."
As he spoke, Mr. 3 laughed wildly, not hiding his smugness.
However, the next second, before Mr. 3 could react, Raynor kicked him into the sky with one foot.
Mr. 3 screamed and turned into a shooting star, disappearing before their eyes.
Seeing this, Nami put the piece of paper with the treasure location into her chest.
Nami ignored Raynor's dark gaze.
She didn't mention Raynor's help and took the treasure for herself.
But for now, it's just a piece of paper.
After dealing with Mr. 3, Raynor checked Dory's injuries again.
Luckily, the two of them just beat each other up and didn't touch the wound on his stomach.
Otherwise, even a super doctor wouldn't be able to save him.
Raynor used his white eyes to touch a few pressure points, and Dory was jumping around again.
The big guy got up, scaring Usopp and Nami so much that they almost jumped ten feet away.
They thought the giant was going to attack.
Dory stood up, pounded his chest, twisted his body, and then said:
"You are really amazing, making us old guys over a hundred years old feel ashamed."
With that, Dory and Brogy laughed straight away.
Listening to their unique laughter, Raynor simply put away his white eyes.
He didn't answer them, but took a dinosaur leg and started eating it.
Using the white eyes takes a lot of energy, and he was so hungry after using it for a while.
Of course, this was mainly because of the energy used in the previous battle.
The white eyes were just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Seeing Raynor eating happily, the others also started eating and drinking a lot.
Especially Luffy, who stuffed himself into a big round ball.
Luffy and Raynor alone ate a whole dinosaur.
Dory and Brogy were both surprised. Even as giants, they didn't eat that much.
Where did they store all that food in such small bodies?
Especially Raynor, no matter how much he ate, his stomach wouldn't bulge.
Instead, his stomach was always rumbling, as if he could never get full.
He was just a monster.
After eating and drinking, everyone lay on the grass, chatting and laughing.
At a key point, Dory and Brogy jokingly said:
"It's pretty boring on this little garden. How about we sail with you guys?"
Although their tone seemed light, they could all tell that there was an element of testing.
If they agreed, they might actually go with them.
This was not good.
Nami and Usopp were just about to refuse, but they saw Luffy excitedly raise his hands.
"Really? You guys are going to sail with us? That's great!"
Hearing this, everyone's face, including Raynor's, turned cold. Nami punched Luffy on the head and scolded:
"What are you talking about? Don't joke around!"
A big bump slowly appeared on Luffy's head.
After a moment, Luffy raised a hand, not knowing what to do, and said:
"I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm sorry..."
Hearing this, Nami sighed, then turned around, narrowed her eyes, and smiled at Dory and Brogy, saying:
"I didn't mean to refuse you. Please don't be angry."
Dory and Brogy wouldn't really be angry with them.
They also knew that going to sea with Raynor was impossible.
But the two didn't directly respond to whether they were joking.
Then they turned to look at Raynor, wanting to hear Raynor's opinion.
Now they respected Raynor the most.
Only Raynor could control them.
They would listen to whatever Raynor said.
Whether he told them to go with them or stay.
Seeing the look of expectation in their eyes.
Raynor didn't look at them directly, but simply said:
"Don't be silly, old guys. There aren't any ships on the Grand Line that can carry you."
As soon as he said this, Dory and Brogy burst into laughter.
Nami and Usopp's tense hearts finally relaxed.
Raynor's words had a double meaning, both saying that their ship couldn't carry their weight.
And raising their status among the pirates, saying that no one on the Grand Line was qualified to be their captain.
This was a big compliment, and Dory and Brogy gladly accepted it.
But at this moment, in the midst of the laughter, a familiar voice rang out from the forest.
"So you guys are here. It took me forever to find you."
Hearing this familiar voice, the group quickly turned around and saw Sanji, smoking a cigarette, walking towards them step by step.
Seeing this, the Straw Hat crew, who had been worried, all breathed a sigh of relief.
They waved to Sanji.
Seeing Nami and Vivi, Sanji's body turned into a wave again, and he ran towards them.
"Nami, Vivi, I missed you so much!"
But when Sanji got closer, Nami punched him on the head.
Sanji immediately crouched down in pain, covering his head and crying.
"Hey, Sanji, where did you go? Please, don't run around!"
Hearing this, Zoro, who was sleeping by a tree, opened one eye and said casually:
"I think he must have gotten lost."
As soon as he said this, Sanji immediately roared at Zoro:
"Hey, you don't have the right to talk about me, you seaweed head who always gets lost!"
Hearing this, Zoro was wide awake. He immediately stood up and faced Sanji head to head, arguing.
Seeing them ready to fight.
Nami couldn't help but sigh.
"I can't believe you two. Please stop fighting. We have to hurry and get to Alabasta as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Sanji seemed to remember something, frowned slightly, pushed Zoro away, and looked at Vivi.
"That's right, something bad has happened. I received a strange phone call in a cabin deep in the forest."
"The caller said that the Baroque Works is about to start an operation against the Alabasta Kingdom."
"And they are urgently calling all Baroque Works members to gather in Alabasta to participate in the battle."
Hearing this, Vivi's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
So, it was already too late?
Crocodile was in such a hurry to attack Alabasta?
What was she supposed to do?
Even if she went back now, it would be difficult to save Alabasta.
