Chapter 311

After all, he really did drink the Mink Tribe's potion and become a member of the Mink Tribe.

And being a reindeer himself......

In his hesitation,

Gatro had already begun explaining the Mink Tribe's combat techniques, rubbing his hands together and generating bursts of static electricity.

Practically like Nami!

This made Chopper quickly calm down and listen attentively.

And neither of the two noticed......

Run Fast, off to the side, was quietly drawing closer, listening to Gatro's explanation with a look of sudden comprehension in his eyes.

His gaze couldn't help but turn toward the warehouse.

Because the Mink Tribe potion wasn't any important "strategic resource," Lord Sima had casually had it placed in the warehouse, along with the Super God Water, the Devil Fruit Separation Potion, and so on—one bottle of each.

Just in case the Straw Hat Pirates had an urgent need and couldn't reach Lord Sima.

Of course,

the vibranium safe was coated on the outside with sea-prism stone, so without the password, even an Admiral would have to Exert Considerable Effort to break it open by force.

But as Vivi's pet, no one usually guarded themselves against him.

So Run Fast knew the password.

So......

Resolve flashed in Run Fast's eyes!

He quietly slipped toward the warehouse, filled with absolute determination!

The companions who used to keep him company—Chopper and Usopp—were now more ambitious than the last.

He couldn't fall too far behind!

The alliance of the "Straw Hat Three Musketeers" would surely rise again!

?????

Thanks: "I'm the big shot?" tipped 588 VIP points!

40. Mink Tribe Run Fast? Super God Water Returns!

"Gah—"

A sudden shriek from the storage room startled everyone!

Lord Sima, who had been thinking at the bow, was also pulled out of his train of thought. He instinctively spread out his spiritual sense to scan, and then raised an eyebrow!

"Robin, call Vivi over."

"Mm."

Robin closed her eyes and activated the Flower-Flower Fruit, poking half a head out in the training room to pass the message.

And Chopper, as the ship's doctor, was the first to rush toward the storage room.

He was stopped by a wave of Lord Sima's hand.

"Going in won't help—Run Fast drank the Super God Water," Lord Sima said.

Although the Super God Water was a good thing that could stimulate potential, if a creature with a crooked heart drank it...

Even Lord Sima didn't have a great solution.

This time, Run Fast had found a loophole—no one had expected him to be so "all-in."

"Ah! Run Fast drank the Super God Water?" Chopper's face tightened.

As a reindeer who had also drunk the Super God Water,

Chopper knew that everyone was truly helpless here, and the only way was for Run Fast to tough it out on his own.

Vivi and the others, who arrived later, heard Chopper's shout and understood what was going on.

Vivi's face changed drastically!

She rushed straight into the storage room.

This time Lord Sima didn't stop her—after all, Vivi's presence would also have a motivating effect on Run Fast.

The others tacitly waited outside the storage room.

Although Run Fast was Vivi's pet, he had also spent day and night with everyone.

They often used him to amuse themselves.

Feelings had developed between them.

Now......

"Argh—my oversight." Franky said, somewhat self-reproachfully: "Such an important item should have had facial recognition added, just like the engine room."

"It's not your fault." Lord Sima shook his head: "Even I didn't expect that Run Fast would actually remember the password, and that he'd know to first take the Mink Tribe potion to boost his physique, then take the Super God Water to stimulate his potential."

Everyone froze!

Wait!

What did they just hear?

"Hold on!" Zoro said in surprise: "You're saying Run Fast first took......"

He glanced at Gatro and swallowed the rest of his words.

These things probably shouldn't be discussed in detail in front of an outsider, right?

Lord Sima, however, didn't care—as someone who knew the plot well, he understood Gatro was a trustworthy person.

Besides......

Given Gatro's character, he was also a "potential user" of the Super God Water.

"Mm, Run Fast's current changes are quite something," Lord Sima nodded.

GLOSSARY: 【{"raw_term":"Ma Di","original_term":"Ma Di"}, {"raw_term":"Sima Di","original_term":"Sima Di"}, {"raw_term":"Lord Sima","original_term":"Sima"}, {"raw_term":"Exert Considerable Effort","original_term":"put in considerable effort"}】

He had been surprised when he saw it during his spiritual scan just now!

So that's how it is......

So the true use of the Mink Race potion is this!

The Straw Hat Pirates members all wore different expressions; only Gatro showed a face full of bewilderment.

"W-wait a moment!" Gatro mustered his courage and asked: "Mink Race potion? What is that? And what does it have to do with us Mink Race?"

Everyone simply looked silently at Sima Di.

Sima Di nodded at Robin, and the latter understood, beginning to impart the basic knowledge to Gatro.

"Before the World Government, there was another civilization—the Great Kingdom. They created the current Grand Line, the island magnetic fields, and...... created the Giant Race, the Small Race, the Mink Race, and so on."

"And the Mink Race potion is......"

"This potion exists in......"

Gatro listened to this "historical truth" as though hearing a book from the heavens.

41. Conqueror's Haki double strike! Pide appears!

"Gah—"

"Gah gah—"

"Gah gah gah—"

Screams like a slaughtered duck continued from the night all the way until the time approaching noon the next day.

Because this time it was Sanji who went to the Chamber of Time and Spirit, it was still Robin and the few women who went to the kitchen to busy themselves, putting together a whole table of dishes to welcome Luffy and Sanji back.

Sanji and the other were both going to the Chamber of Time and Spirit for the second time, so there was no need to worry they would miss the time to return.

And the rest of the people,

had all gathered outside the storeroom, quietly waiting.

It had already exceeded 20 hours!

That Pide was basically confirmed to have no problems now; the question was whether he could hold on longer and develop more potential!

Here one had to praise Pide,

for actually knowing to take the Mink Race potion first to increase his potential ceiling; otherwise, if it were his original potential......

One couldn't say it was too weak, but compared to the Mink Race it was certainly far inferior.

Finally!

Those duck-slaughtering screams abruptly came to a stop.
