Laboon's story! Lord Lord Sima Di's Devil Fruit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he decided to take Laboon along, it's now a matter of how to convince the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lord Lord Sima Di believed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they knew Laboon's story, they definitely wouldn't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus is probably still \"vacationing\" in Laboon's stomach, how can he let everyone know this story?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thinking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy suddenly had a solemn expression, staring straight at the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's hitting the Red Line? It sounds so sad, just like... being abandoned by its partners.\" Luffy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgot that this guy has the ability to \"listen to all things\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that's the case, it's easy to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Sima Di immediately said with interest: \"An island whale blocking the entrance of Reverse Mountain? Sadness of being abandoned by partners? There seems to be a very good story in it, let's go find the answer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the launching ceremony,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Sima Di went to sea for novel adventures and legendary stories, so this proposal wasn't abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, let's go, the whale just now didn't look like it was easy to mess with.\" Usopp backed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, yeah!\" Facing Facing Nami nodded wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Sima Di and Luffy were both shining with eyes, as the two highest combat powers on the ship, this matter seemed to have been decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go that way.\" Sanji pointed to the lighthouse next to Reverse Mountain: \"There's a house there, it should be where the person guarding the entrance lives, maybe they know something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yosh! Let's go!\" Luffy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Facing Facing Nami and the others do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only steer the Going Merry closer, land and knock on the door politely, but no one answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, is there no one?\" Zoro wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that they were... by passing pirates?\" Usopp looked horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground under their feet trembled again, Laboon was still hitting the Red Line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then it suddenly became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess Crocus injected it with a sedative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laboon floated up from the seabed, and then a giant water column sprayed out from the blowhole on its back, with two figures vaguely mixed in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That whale spat out a small house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot, that's a specially made ship, but there seems to be someone in the house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's coming toward us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone's gaze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house-ship docked on the land, and Crocus, with white hair, went ashore and looked at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pirates who just crossed Reverse Mountain?\" He said impolitely: \"I am Crocus, the lighthouse keeper of Twin Capes, you can dock here temporarily, but you are not allowed to destroy my things or attack that island whale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone left no room for negotiation, and he didn't seem to fear pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the former ship doctor of the Pirate King, Crocus was someone who had seen the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could his combat power be too bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello! Whitebeard uncle!\" Luffy laughed: \"That island whale sounds so sad, was it abandoned by its partners?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? How do you know?\" Crocus was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard it say so myself!\" Luffy said as a matter of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shocked Crocus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of his former captain Roger, who possessed some kind of ability to listen to all things...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you a Whisper-Whisper Fruit ability user? Or an innate ability?\" Crocus asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whisper-Whisper Fruit? Isn't that Apis's ability.\" Luffy scratched his head: \"Is it hard to understand what animals mean? I thought everyone could.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp and the others behind him had black lines on their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dull are you to think that everyone can understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't the existence of the \"Whisper-Whisper Devil Fruit\" be as redundant as a Devil Fruit ability that turns people into humans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus examined Luffy again, then fixed on his straw hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This straw hat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So familiar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This straw hat of yours...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, you have a good eye! It was given to me by Shanks, he said it was the straw hat worn by the Pirate King!\" Luffy said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus looked at Luffy deeply when he heard the name \"Shanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That red-haired intern?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is now one of the Four Emperors of the New World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this kid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the future that Shanks bet his arm on in the East Blue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus didn't tell the intricate relationship between himself and Luffy, but turned to look at Laboon, who was floating quietly on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen carefully, Laboon's story...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a whale with human emotions, I still remember it was fifty years ago...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Island whales are group animals in the West Blue, little Laboon was attracted by the music of the Rumbar Pirates and followed them to the Grand Line as a partner, but the dangers of the Grand Line couldn't let the young one continue to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rumbar Pirates could only leave Laboon here and made a promise—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we go around the world and come back, we can meet again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Laboon waited for 50 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crocus went deep into the Grand Line, but the news he brought back was—the Rumbar Pirates broke their promise, fled the Grand Line, and returned to the West Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laboon had been crazy ever since, hitting the Red Line day and night, wanting to return to the West Blue to find the Rumbar Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Laboon's story, everyone was quite touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a moving story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A promise kept for 50 years? That's really long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Sima Di was also quite moved, and when he turned his head, he saw Luffy quietly walking toward the main mast, seemingly having some ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\" Lord Lord Sima Di shouted: \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone noticed Luffy's strange behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, who was discovered, simply said: \"I want to take the main mast down, as long as I insert it for Laboon, I can make a new promise with him, I will definitely help him find that pirate group, go around the Grand Line and return here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although what you said is very dreamy, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you want to hurt the Merry!\" Usopp said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't just your ship, you bastard!\" Facing Facing Nami gave him a chestnut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard! Don't always have strange ideas!\" Zoro was also furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Sima Di saw that the time was ripe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately said: \"By the way, I once got an interesting Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into other animals... If Laboon could transform into a puppy or something, raising it on the Going Merry and taking it away wouldn't be a problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1108,"2026-06-15T22:15:24.271Z","2026-06-15T22:39:23.503Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d4a87e8e82baf3cae53f7ee06ffe5850723790b8d28d520d0dae86d6fc231fc5","in-the-straw-hat-crew-starting-with-spirit-word--chapter-12","in-the-straw-hat-crew-starting-with-spirit-word--chapter-10",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-the-straw-hat-crew-starting-with-spirit-word--cover.jpg"]
