Rumble!—
While Roche and others were talking to the old man, they suddenly felt a significant violent vibration. The waves formed by whale gastric juice began to rise and fall, as if the whole world was shaking constantly.
"What's going on?!"
"It should be that whale hitting the Red Clay Continent..." Roqi said calmly: "Do you still remember the huge scars on its head? Unless it takes the initiative to impact, there is no reason for it to cause that scar, right?"
"Then why does it do this?!"
"Maybe it's too painful!" Nami held the boat side and looked at the old man very angrily: "You got into the whale's belly just to hurt it internally, right? You whaler!"
The old man did not respond to Nami's allegations.
He jumped into the water.
"Wait a minute! That's stomach acid!" Usopp shouted in surprise: "Does this old man want to commit suicide?!"
"Stop worrying about this for now."
Roach patted Usopp's shoulder: "Let's leave quickly. If you soak in stomach acid for too long, the hull will be irreversibly corroded. We cannot let the Meli suffer such damage."
“But how could there be an exit here?”
Guina bit her lip and said nervously: "We are in the whale's belly now!"
“Isn’t there an iron door?”
Roche calmly pointed his hand forward: "Since that old man can settle down here, the iron door is probably the entrance and exit he built."
"What an incredible method..."
Everyone was rowing desperately while sighing. Just as they were about to approach the huge iron gate, they suddenly found a window open on it, and two figures who were unsteady standing due to violent vibrations fell down screaming.
"Help!"
Seeing that the two were about to fall into stomach acid, Roach stood at the bow of the boat and stretched his arms, grabbed them and pulled them to the Melis. The two fell on the deck in a daze: "Thank you, thank you! I really didn't expect there was a ship in the whale's belly..."
Roche looked at the two of them very calmly-
One is a man wearing a crown with a sculptural look, with two beards with a numerical shape on his face. He is Mr.9, a cadre under the Baroque Works Club. In Roach's impression, he is just a little supporting role with a very mixed fish.
The women around him are very good.
She was wearing short-sleeved shorts, a beige jacket, and her long blue hair was tied into a ponytail. She was Mr.9's partner in the work club Miss. On Wednesday, she was the princess of the Kingdom of Alabastan.
She lurked to the Baroque Works Club in order to dismantle the Sand Crocodile.
But her identity will soon be revealed...
Just as Roach saw these two people, a system task prompt popped up in front of him:
[The new main mission has officially started]
[Task 1: Disintegrate or annex the Baroque Workers] (Reward 500 system coins, no time limit)
[Task 2: Defeat or subdue Sha Klokdal] (rewards 3,000 system coins, no time limit)
[Task 3: Save or control Alabastan] (Reward 10,000 system coins, no time limit)
Roche was stunned for a moment.
I thought the new task would only be to knock down the sand crocodile, but I didn’t expect that this system played some new tricks this time and released three highly rewarded tasks at the same time. There were two optional routes to complete the method!
It seems that the system's intention is not as simple as I expected...
My mission is probably not just to defeat the enemies Luffy defeated!
This is great news. Roqi doesn't want to be a tool person. Originally, his plan was to act according to the system's arrangements in the early stage and use the system's rewards to strengthen his own strength. When he reaches a certain level, he will give up the task and go solo. Now it seems that this plan can be postponed a little more...
Because the system did not completely limit his freedom.
Whether to be a hero or an ambitious person, this time the choice is in Roach himself!
"Look at you who didn't hang the pirate flag, you should be a group of adventurers, right?"
"So what?"
"I mean we can cooperate." The violent vibration gradually stopped, and the whale had obviously returned to peace. Just when Roach was distracted by the system, Weiwei had already stood up and suggested: "As long as we can catch this whale, it will be enough for our town to eat for two or three years. If you are willing to help us with this matter, we will definitely have a generous gift!"
"I will never let you hurt Rab!"
The old man suddenly appeared in front of the window that opened on the iron door. He just ran to give the whale a sedative. At this time, he had obviously heard Vivi’s proposal just now, which was enough to show that he had a certain degree of domineering attitude towards seeing and hearing.
"But now we're in the whale's belly!"
"It's totally possible to make a big hole for it inside!"
"This is all thanks to the passages you built!" The two men who laughed villains took out the bazooka and aimed at the stomach wall with the blue sky and white clouds: "We will take this guy's meat!"
Only a bang was heard—
Before they could fire, they were knocked to the ground by Roach.
"So you are good people..."
The old man jumped from that window and easily jumped onto the deck of the Melis: "It's rare to see good people these days!"
"Can we go out and chat?"
Roach pointed to the iron door: "We don't want the ship to soak in the gastric juice for too long..."
"Then come with me!"
The old man nodded, then opened the iron gate for them, led the Meli into the canal, and then drove all the way to the exit, and saw the bright sunshine of the outside world.
Everyone finally understood the old man's identity.
His name is Kurokas.
He is already seventy-one years old this year, and he is the lighthouse guard of the Gemini Strait, AB blood type, Gemini...
"This whale is called Rab..."
After coming to the land under the lighthouse, Kurokas began to tell the story of Rab: "It was an island whale that originally lived in the West Sea, the largest whale in the world. It would not have appeared in the great waterway, but there was a pirate group fifty years ago-"
The old man slowly finished the story about the agreement.
Nami and others were moved to tears.
"Do you still have the heart to hunt this whale?" Roqi looked at the two captives tied up in a group with interest, and saw that they were already crying when they heard it.
“It’s really unbearable…”
Mr.9 said, "But catching this whale is an order given to us by the organization! If our mission fails, we will be killed by ourselves!"
"Oh? What kind of organization are you?"
Chapter completed!
