I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 864 “Laugh Tale”

In addition to being surrounded by a layer of sea fog, there is nothing special about this final island named "LaughTale" by the Pirate King Roger.

Of course, there is no human habitation on the island, and there are not a few birds and animals. It is obvious that if there are birds landing here, then people with the ability to communicate with birds or other animals, such as Morgans, would have been there long ago. This is how we learned the relevant information about Ravdru, so why would we need any red stone road signs?

Except for the presence of a group of monkeys, this "amphibious" Cirque du Soleil parked on the corner of the island is no different from other idle or abandoned theaters.

Of course, this Cirque du Soleil theater has obviously been abandoned for a longer time.

If you think about it, it has been eight hundred years.

The monkeys were scattered everywhere lazily. Some were sitting on the edge of the stage like puppets; some were hanging upside down on the horizontal ropes above the stage, like a row of monkey-like bats; some were lying on their backs. On a rock near the theater, bathed in the steaming mist from the sea, they swung their tails in a motion of catching lice; some lay in a circle with their heads on their heads in the middle of the stage, like a blooming sun...

Until Lynch and others approached, especially Luffy's startled call, the monkeys raised their heads one after another and looked at the people on the shore.

Luffy made the same expression as the monkeys, glaring with big eyes and small eyes, tilting his head in unison, with a question mark on his head.

The monkeys suddenly became happy and started to be active one by one, laughing and chattering, chasing each other inside and outside the stage of the old Cirque du Soleil theater, doing somersaults and climbing up and down. They even ran behind the curtain of the stage one after another, which must be the backstage of the performance, because after the monkeys came in and out, their clothes turned into magicians, assistants, and even put on stage costumes to dress up as lions. , tiger, big shark...

"There's a show!" Luffy took it as he came, seeming to have forgotten that they were here to find a big secret treasure. He happily sat down cross-legged, ready to enjoy the circus of these monkeys on the shore. Performed, "We are not lucky! Hee hee."

Lynch and Robin observed the lively monkeys on the stage.

Nami hesitated and said: "They..."

Chopper looked shocked and murmured: "They are not living animals at all..."

Frankie smiled and said: "It's a purely mechanical creation! It's quite amazing, it can actually make such an intelligent robot monkey."

And these mechanical monkeys busy performing on the stage reminded Lynch of some scenes he saw in the memory of the stand-in. When he and Robin followed the Straw Hats to the Sky Island, "B.I.B" made what if Lynch would do the same thing when he was present, inspiring everyone to drive Enel's Ark Proverbs to the "infinite land", the moon, for a spin.

If I remember correctly, in the underground ruins on the moon, there was an army of robots that were supposed to be discovered by Enel and activated with the thunder and lightning of the Thunder Fruit. It's a pity that "B.I.B" and Robin's previous focus on the moon was on those ancient murals, and no robot soldiers were found.

These seem to be mechanical monkeys guarding the Cirque du Soleil theater. From the look and feel, they are somewhat similar to those robot soldiers. Maybe it comes from similar technology.

Why did Joey Boy create these mechanical monkeys and leave them to guard this Cirque du Soleil abandoned by time?

The answer is simple. Since he is a member of the circus, he naturally stays here to perform.

The mechanical monkeys finished changing their costumes, performed their duties, and started performing.

Some mechanical monkeys are dressed up with white wings on their backs...

Sanji was startled, these wings looked very much like the wings of Sky Island residents.

Some mechanical monkeys are dressed up with dark wings on their backs...

Zoro and Kitsune Onimaru's expressions changed. These dark wings looked too much like Kaido's Fire Calamity.

However, monkeys are monkeys after all, and even mechanical monkeys deliberately retain many monkey habits. In other words, even if they are performing a drama very carefully, you come and go, jump up and down, flutter their fake wings, and sometimes you Pull me, I'll pull you, although it is funny enough and fits the circus' positioning of bringing laughter to the audience, but the message they want to convey is actually a bit abstract. Vaguely, roughly, it seems, maybe, maybe it is saying that a group of winged people flying down from Wuyang Wuyang in the sky have divided into different camps? There are those with black wings and those with white wings...

"Hahahahaha!" Luffy was very happy to see it, and clapped his hands and feet, "What is this? It's so poorly acted, it's really funny! Hahahaha!"

The monkeys on the stage were quite happy at first, but when they heard Qi Qi behind them, they were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they were shocked.

Even the shocked reactions were deliberately exaggerated, which made Luffy laugh even more exaggeratedly and bring tears to his eyes.

"Zhizhi! Zhizhi!!" It seemed that he was very happy that his performance had amused the audience. The monkeys were so inspired that they scratched their heads and ears with excitement.

This simple reaction made Lynch, Zoro, Nami and others smile. Even though they were very cautious from the beginning, even a little nervous, they wanted to catch every detail of the monkeys. Robin, who interpreted the movements, also relaxed his brows and smiled in relief. Perhaps these monkey performances are just a little joke played by Joyboy on the people who arrive here.

A mechanical monkey wearing a straw hat jumped out coquettishly from behind the stage curtain on a unicycle.

"Oh oh oh! Unicycle!" Luffy's eyes flashed, "Can you transform?"

The straw hat monkey stumbled on his unicycle and almost overturned.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Luffy!" Usopp said with laughter, "How could the monkey really transform!?" He stared and shouted, it turned out that the coquettish unicycle on the stage rolled on the spot, and the straw hat The monkey straightened up again. He found a red clown nose from nowhere and put it on his nose.

Luffy was shocked: "You are Bucky!?"

"No." Usopp and Nami flattened Luffy's cheeks with their fists.

"Squeak, squeak!" The straw hat clown monkey actually stepped on two other little monkeys on his arms, and another little monkey climbed up from behind him and turned over his head.

Chopper and Merry were greatly shocked and exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

Is this monkey in a straw hat playing Joey Boy himself? Lynch and Robin thought at the same time, in short, judging from the novel and enjoyable looks on Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, the performance of Mr. Joyboy, the monkey clown, seemed to be very successful...

The laughter and applause of the crowd were "reflected" in Brook's dark and deep eye holes, and reflected on the sound shell inside the cracked skull that he treasured so dearly.

Brooke opened his skull and took out the sound shell.

He sat cross-legged on the shore and gently placed Yinbei on the ground.

This piece of music records the last sound and the final ensemble of their Rumba Pirates. trio. Duo. and his own solo...

"We're here, Rab." Brooke said to himself calmly, "This is the final island. Do you think Captain Yankee and the others will be happy?"

Rabu's big eyes were filled with tears and he let out a low whimper.

Brooke laughed quickly, stood up gracefully, put on a black top hat on his explosive head, and opened his arms, "Yo **** ho ho, we successfully circled the world, Rab! It's so great Awesome! What an adventure we had with our friends! Don’t you think so?”

"Oh oh oh oh..."

Rabu looked up to the sky and roared. At the end of the world, his call seemed to reach the kingdom of heaven.

Thunderclouds chased each other in midair. Mjolnir is close to Thor, who is always eager to have **** with Hela, and always quarrels with Sif. Moore lazily hid aside, and the equally unwilling to talk to anyone was the quiet and thunderous Ymir, who always followed his master Robin quietly, looking on as a Buddhist, and would at most push the World Tree aside in disgust. , or float to Lin Qi's side to avoid the harassment of the super abnormal World Tree...

"By the way, where is the 'Big Secret Treasure'?" Brooke looked at the monkeys in the performance and suddenly said in disappointment, "The Roger Pirates should have left all their treasures here, right?"

"Treasure?"

As if a keyword was triggered, Nami, who had begun to enjoy the circus performance of the mechanical monkeys, suddenly came back to her senses.

"Squeak?"

The Straw Hat Clown Monkey seemed to be planning to do something. Upon seeing this, he tilted his head and paused, looking at Brooke and then at Luffy.

Brooke said angrily: "What's the matter? Is it weird that pirates want treasure? Could it be that the newcomer named Roger was just joking when he said he left everything on this island?"

Luffy and Usopp stood shoulder to shoulder and raised their fists and shouted, "That's right! Where is our pirate treasure?"

"Why does it become yours?" Nami clenched her fist and said, "It's obviously mine! Hey, little monkeys, hand over all the treasures to me!"

Lynch noticed that the monkey who seemed to be playing Joey Boy took off his straw hat and did some magic. The straw hat turned into a pirate captain's hat.

He put the pirate captain's hat on his head, swung his unicycle in a circle, stopped in front of the stage and looked back at the stage, looking up and laughing silently. His movements were exaggerated and funny.

At the same time, the other monkeys also acted almost at the same time. They all performed tricks. Some tied their hair into a ponytail, some made a pair of glasses and put them on, and some touched them. Two sharp axes emerged, some had two gills attached to their shoulders to pretend to be fishmen, and some conjured up several huge decorative petals and inserted them into the back of their heads...

"Kulokas?" Robin said clearly.

Lin Qi was shocked, "It's true! It's so abstract, how could you recognize it so quickly?"

Robin smiled modestly, "It's just what he pretends to be."

The monkey with a circle of flowers behind his head pretending to be Culokas bowed his hands to Robin, and then ran on hands and knees with the other monkeys to the one wearing a captain's hat, waiting for the other monkeys to cooperate. A monkey was behind the Joeyboi monkey who was laughing silently and posing for a long time with his big mouth... The Joeyboi monkey rubbed his mouth that seemed to be sore from laughing, and grinned angrily at the monkeys behind him.

"Hahaha." Luffy, Nami and the others were amused, and their reactions were exactly what the monkeys wanted to see. They all couldn't help but scratch their heads and ears with great satisfaction.

Lynch laughed and said: "Is it playing Roger when he first arrived here?"

Luffy said "Ah" and pointed at the tarsier closest to the Laughing Monkey in the monkey group, "Is that Uncle Rayleigh?!"

Zoro and Fox Onimaru stared at a monkey that looked like a two-sword samurai among the monkeys. It seemed that it was playing the role of Kozuki Oden, who was also in the Roger Pirates at the time.

Robin noticed that Lynch glanced twice at the monkey with a single ponytail.

Soon, everyone understood why the monkeys wanted to be members of the Roger Pirates. The effect of the show was on the one hand, and on the other hand, they quickly repeated what Roger and others did immediately, dumping all the treasures on the "ship" into the offshore!

"What are you waiting for?" Nami said vigorously and with a wave of her hand, "Go and search!"

Boom!

The monkeys were frightened by thunder and lightning in the offshore sea, and stared blankly at the excited Nami.

Lin Qi took action. Lin Qi took action and asked the stand-in to stand in for "B.I.B". With a little churning of the sea water, Piao Piao Fruit's ability directly lifted up the entire offshore sea like a thick carpet of sea water. It didn't matter if it was exposed. The situation under the deep sea. Stacks of gold, gleaming jewelry of various colors, and countless rare treasures...it almost blinded Nami!

Even Zoro couldn't help but smile. He came here with pleasure, left with pleasure, and returned home with a full load is gratifying.

"B.I.B" controlled a huge amount of seawater to float above everyone's heads. Everyone seemed to have arrived at the seabed chapter of Saint Seiya. A layer of seawater refracted and swayed above their heads...and around the exposed seabed, those who wanted to The sea water that was about to pour in was also stopped by "B.I.B" using the power of the Piao Piao Fruit, and not even a drop of it entered.

Faced with the treasure, Nami's hands and feet need not be doubted. With lightning speed, she grabbed Xiao Green and took all the treasures left by the Roger Pirates on this seabed into the castle.

At this moment, after the treasures were swept away, everyone saw the thing.

A plant.

The top bloomed, and a pure golden fruit was inside.

……

"So you can write?!"

Nami was speechless. These mechanical monkeys performed a circus for a long time, and finally danced and said that each of them actually mastered a part of the ancient text that Joey Boy played by the straw hat and red nose monkey asked them to remember. . Each monkey remembers part of it, like every page of a book, waiting for someone who can read it.

Robin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I can interpret it."

She glanced at Lynch who had finally retracted "B.I.B" and was sitting cross-legged in meditation to digest the final power. She called the monkeys to her side and watched them recite the ancient text passages they remembered one by one. Robin Use the power of Huahua Fruit to separate a dozen clones, write down these different parts of the ancient characters one by one, and start to interpret them while memorizing them.

On the other side, the Joyboy monkeys also continued the performance they originally wanted to do before they were not interrupted by Brooke.

"Joyboy" seems to have sacrificed his life and all his efforts to complete the plant that everyone saw blooming on the seabed...

Zoro and Sanji were very puzzled, "Is this a Devil Fruit? It doesn't look like..."

Frankie also thought about it, "The pure golden appearance without any swirling patterns does not look like a Devil Fruit...wait a minute!"

He touched this pure gold Devil Fruit with his big hand, and a layer of gold powder actually fell off, revealing the pure white fruit inside.

Nami let out a sigh, "Who is so mean-spirited? And put a layer of gold powder on it? How tacky!"

"It's so strange coming from your mouth..." Usopp complained.

"Zhizhi!"

The monkeys danced and gestured to everyone, and it took a long time for everyone to guess what they meant. Mr. Chopper said he was very upset that he could not understand the language of the mechanical monkeys. This layer of gold powder was Roger put it on.

……

"This thing will only mature with the awakening of 'Poseidon'?"

More than twenty years ago, Roger was quite unhappy when faced with the pure white buds of the same underwater plant here.

"The mermaid princess will not be born for at least ten years. I have received a prophecy... This is the only thing I can't be anxious about..."

He can’t give birth to a hairball daughter for Neptune, right? !
