Looking at Bepo's adorable expression as he worked hard to look proud, Robin covered her mouth and laughed.
"Are all the animals on your ship this interesting? Why didn't I notice they were so cute before?"
White Ghost tightened his arm around the girl.
"You usually spend all your time reading and barely interact with them. How would you know?"
Robin's large eyes curved into crescents, and she leaned her head against White Ghost's chest.
"Yes, yes, Captain. I'll try to interact more with the crew."
White Ghost touched her slender waist.
"You know you're playing with fire, right?"
Robin wrapped both arms around his waist and breathed softly as she said,
"Then, Captain, will you punish me?"
White Ghost's heat rose rapidly, and hot air escaped from his nostrils.
"When there's time, I'll let you witness how impressive your captain really is."
Robin rubbed her cheek against his chest.
"Then I'll wait for Captain to show me."
On another battlefield, Jabra, in his wolf form, stared darkly at his opponent.
A rabbit.
A big rabbit.
Holding a huge baseball bat and smiling at him.
"Tempest Kick!"
Jabra jumped up and kicked out a slash.
"Roar!"
Big White gripped the spiked bat with both hands and swung at the incoming slash.
Bang!
The slash was smashed apart.
Big White looked at the guy jumping around in the air, and the corner of his mouth lifted.
Then Jabra saw that rabbit also stepping on Geppo and following him up.
Jabra cursed inwardly.
Who could tell him what kind of rabbit this was?
It was bad enough that it could fight. Why the hell did it know the Six Powers too?
"Roar!"
The moment Jabra lost focus, Big White seized the chance and closed in.
Looking at the baseball bat in front of him, Jabra crossed both arms to block.
"Iron Body."
Bang!
Big White smashed down with one strike.
"Gah!"
Jabra screamed and crashed toward the ground.
Boom!
A pit was smashed into the shore.
Jabra climbed out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring viciously at the big rabbit.
"Roar!"
Big White stared right back, refusing to show weakness, as if saying, Who doesn't have eyes?
"Damn rabbit. You should know wolves hunt rabbits."
Jabra pushed off the ground and rapidly approached Big White.
He arrived in front of Big White, jumped up to the same height, and brought both feet together.
"Iron Body: Demon Wolf!"
"Roar!"
Big White raised his left fist in front of himself.
Bang!
Jabra immediately felt as if he had struck a piece of iron.
"Damn it. Is this rabbit that skilled with the Six Powers?"
Then he saw the rabbit smile wickedly.
The baseball bat in its right hand came smashing toward him.
"Shave!"
Jabra did not dare take it head-on.
He had already felt the rabbit's terrifying strength earlier.
Whoosh!
Big White's bat missed, and his eyes began searching for the target.
"Big rabbit, I'm over here."
Jabra appeared at his side.
"Iron Body: Heavy Step Wolf!"
Bang!
Big White took a heavy punch to the waist, and his body tilted.
Jabra's face lit up.
This rabbit's defense did not seem that strong.
"Roar!"
One of the rabbit's hands grabbed his foot and swung him toward the ground.
"What?!"
Jabra was shocked.
This rabbit's battle instincts were that strong?
Boom!
Dust flew.
"Cough, cough!"
The moment Jabra opened his eyes, he saw the baseball bat smashing toward him.
Frightened, he immediately rolled away.
Bang!
Jabra had no time to feel lucky, because a big rabbit fist came punching toward him.
Boom!
Big White missed again.
Jabra flashed to his side.
"Iron Body: Wolf Fang!"
Bang!
After landing a hit, Jabra immediately retreated.
One lesson from earlier was enough.
Big White's hand grabbed empty air. His face filled with anger, and he swung his baseball bat toward the person behind him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Jabra kept moving and jumping, dodging the attacks while occasionally firing Finger Pistols.
Seeing blood burst across the rabbit's body, Jabra laughed proudly.
"Hahaha! Stupid rabbit. Wolves are fast. You think you can hit me?"
"Flying Finger Pistol!"
Clang, clang, clang!
Big White used the baseball bat to block the incoming air bullets.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
On the ship, Second White and White Sis shouted to cheer their big brother on.
"Big White is at a disadvantage."
Franky folded his arms and watched the fight.
Jango chuckled.
"It's still early. Big White's strength is more than this."
The newly joined Galdino and Gem were already shocked.
These animals, who usually looked adorable, were actually all this strong.
The two even wondered whether they could beat that bear, that rabbit, or that deer.
Now, hearing Jango's words, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Fine.
From what he meant, they were not even as good as a rabbit.
Just as Jabra was feeling proud, Big White's legs suddenly exerted strength.
Everyone knew rabbits had the greatest explosive force in their legs.
Boom!
As Big White pushed off, a small crater appeared in the ground beneath him.
Whoosh!
Big White's entire body rapidly closed in on the werewolf ahead.
"Useless, useless."
Jabra laughed and kicked out.
"Tempest Kick: Lone Wolf!"
Big White smashed the incoming bouncing slash aside with one swing.
"Shave!"
Jabra dodged the baseball bat and was just about to mock him when pain shot through his back.
Bang!
Big White's baseball bat struck his back.
"Ah!"
Jabra screamed and smashed toward the ground.
Seeing that he was about to deeply kiss the dirt, he crossed both arms.
"Iron Body!"
Whoosh!
Big White appeared at his side and swung the baseball bat.
"What?! That speed!"
Jabra was shocked and saw the rabbit smile wickedly.
Bang!
Big White struck him in the stomach with the bat, stopping his falling body and bending the wolf's whole body around the blow.
"Ah!"
Jabra screamed and flew into the air.
Crack!
Big White disappeared from the spot again, leaving the ground cracked beneath him.
In the air, Jabra struggled to open his eyes and saw the big white rabbit's fist aimed at him.
"Damn it."
Bang!
A solid punch struck his body, sending him flying toward the ship.
"Hey, hey, if he crashes down like that, he'll die."
Enel snapped his fingers, and the silver on the ship turned into a giant hand that caught the flying werewolf.
Boom!
Big White landed, kicking up dust.
Everyone saw the rabbit holding the baseball bat in his right hand while slapping his own chest with his left. He raised his head and let out a long howl.
On the ship, the two rabbits also looked excitedly at their big brother.
Chopper, who was applying medicine, saw everyone looking at him and explained,
"He said he wants to become the strongest rabbit, the king of rabbits, and beat every rabbit under heaven."
"Hahahahaha!"
Jango burst into laughter and patted his own chest.
"As expected of my disciple. That's ambition. The strongest rabbit under heaven."
"Awoo! Awoo!"
The three Kung Fu Dugongs also shouted, looking at their rabbit brother with worship on their faces.
White Ghost's face darkened.
His pet had gone crooked again.
Even without Chopper translating, he knew what those three Kung Fu Dugongs were shouting.
