A small boat stealthily approached the going merry, and two agile figures quickly climbed onto the deck.
"Miss Wednesday, it seems our luck is good today."
A man wearing a crown and a frog costume whispered to his partner beside him.
"Indeed, Mr.9, stealing food from these Pirates is much easier than hunting that whale."
Responding to him was a beautiful woman with a ponytail, but she completely projected the image of a bad woman.
They had been searching for food for days, and if they didn't find anything soon, the people of Whiskey Peak would starve to death.
The two cautiously crept into the ship's cabin, constantly on alert.
Miss Wednesday, whose stomach was rumbling, seemed to have a built-in sensor and immediately found the storeroom.
Opening the door, she saw various vegetables and meats arranged inside.
Miss Wednesday was overjoyed and was about to tell Mr.9 to pack up all the food.
However, just as the words reached her lips, she was horrified to discover a tall man standing not far away, arms crossed, watching her with interest.
"Ah!!!" Miss Wednesday instinctively screamed.
"Keep it down, Miss Wednesday, don't let those people find us."

Hearing the commotion, Mr.9 poked his head out from the next room, whispering a reminder.
"You're asking for death!!"
Recognizing Mr.9, Reno's expression darkened. No other man was allowed on the going merry besides him.
Without a word, Reno threw Mr.9 out. Before he could fall into the sea, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl instantly struck Mr.9, killing him thoroughly.
"You… you killed Mr.9?!" Seeing Mr.9 being carried away by the current, Princess Vivi immediately panicked.
She trembled all over with fear.
Reno's expression instantly cleared: "Don't worry, Princess Vivi, I only kill members of Baroque Works."
"Once I've healed Laboon, we can have a good talk."
Her identity exposed, Princess Vivi was terrified.
The person in front of her not only knew her true identity but was also incredibly strong.
"Please… please don't kill me." Princess Vivi trembled like a startled rabbit.
Ignoring Vivi's plea, Reno grabbed her shoulder and instantly teleported!!
With a sharp shriek from Vivi, the two reappeared before The girls.
"Captain, who is this person?!" Makino asked, full of questions.
"What a beautiful girl, Captain, where did you snatch her from?!" Carmen curiously examined the pale-faced Princess Vivi.
Do these Pirates also snatch people?!
Vivi grew even more frightened.
Reno smiled, "From now on, she's a crew member of the Reno Pirates. You all keep an eye on her and don't let her run away."
With that, he flew towards Laboon on the island cloud.
Leaving behind the bewildered The girls and Princess Vivi staring at each other.
Once Reno left, Princess Vivi, in a moment of desperation, put on a pitiful expression and pleaded, "Sisters, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have stolen your food. Please spare me this one time."
The girls exchanged glances and instantly understood.
Well, well, well, someone tried to steal from them.
Most importantly, Reno was always looking for beautiful women, and here she was, delivering herself to him.
"Little sister, you heard it just now. The Captain told us to keep an eye on you."
"But don't worry, I can guarantee he won't harm you." Makino gently reassured Princess Vivi.
Since Reno had already said that Princess Vivi was a member of the Pirate Crew, she naturally understood what would happen next.
Only a ghost would believe you.
Vivi grumbled inwardly.
She had just seen Reno throw Mr.9 into the sea with her own eyes.
She would most likely suffer the same fate.
She absolutely couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Vivi subtly glanced in Reno's direction. They seemed to be treating that whale.
Now's my chance, run!!
However, just as she was about to make a move, Tashigi was even faster.
Wado Ichimonji instantly unsheathed, its blade gleaming with a cold light.
"Don't move!"
The other girls also surrounded her with unfriendly expressions, a dark hue creeping up their fair arms.
"They all use Armament Haki?!" Crocus was visibly surprised.
"Little girl, you're no match for them. Don't ask for trouble. Just stay put."
Feeling the aura of The girls, Vivi immediately deflated, lowering her head in resignation.
Before long, the island cloud carried Reno, Kaya, and Nami over.
Through their efforts, all the injuries Laboon had accumulated on his head over the years were healed.
He was fully recovered once again!
"Roar"
The pain gone, and knowing that Brook was still alive, Laboon let out an excited and grateful roar.
For him, today was the most unforgettable day.
"Reno, thank you so much this time." Seeing Laboon transmit signals of unprecedented joy, Crocus was genuinely happy.
"It was nothing." Reno waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind.
"Laboon, you stay here and behave. Don't try to ram the Red Line anymore. It won't be long before I bring Brook back."
Reno made a promise to Laboon.
Another low growl was Laboon's response to Reno.
Reno and The girls all shared a knowing smile.
"Well then, Crocus, farewell. We must continue our journey."
Reno, with the desperate Vivi and The girls, boarded the going merry one after another.
"Hahahahaha, Reno, I hope to hear your name on the high seas someday."
On the shore, Crocus waved continuously, watching the going merry ascend into the sky.
"Laboon, today was truly a happy day!"
"Roar."
