Frog Ji and Toad continued to mock Nami.

"Usopp, who are you?" Could it be...?

Nami watched Usopp fly further and further away, and said with a blank expression.

At first, Usopp could only go with the flow, but through his study of various machines, he quickly learned how to control the glider.

"Oh dear! A life-saving box?"

Usopp suddenly realized that the box was a life-saving device. He flew higher in the wind than any building on the island. Now, before him, the canal looked like a winding blood vessel. He felt like a bird, freely surveying everything from the sky.

"Wow, this is amazing! It's really something! Huh?"

Usopp passed through the clouds and suddenly saw the center of the island.

The mountaintop was always shrouded in a cloud layer that looked like a large umbrella. Suddenly, a crack appeared, and a strange shadow appeared there.

"what happened?"

Usopp stared wide-eyed, eager to see what was going on.

Whatever he had just seen, Usopp had a bad feeling.

In the restaurant's sunroom, Muchigoro and Robin were still drinking. The two seemed to have a good relationship and had a lot to talk about.

"Flowers?" Nami was taken aback.

Muchigoro looked at Robin with a drunken expression, holding a glass of wine in one hand.

“Yes, flowers.” Su Qingsang nodded.

"This... I don't know either. I've never heard of any flowers on this island... Oh dear, I think I'm drunk. I'll take a nap."

"Don't say that, think about it carefully."

Robin used her "Flower-Flower Fruit" technique, and countless arms reached out from behind Muchigoro, pulling him back from his unconscious state.

"so……"

"what do you mean?"

Although she had drunk quite a bit, Robin continued chatting as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of intoxication. However, when she heard these words, her expression turned serious.

Chapter 254: This secret is astonishing!

"There are quite a few rumors about lily carnations on the island..."

"Lily, what exactly happened?"

Robin was about to ask another question when Muchigoro suddenly covered his mouth with a "Ugh," revealing a horribly disfigured face. Robin instinctively grabbed Muchigoro with the hand that had grown out from behind his back. He was probably really drunk; he had to vomit now.

"Feel sorry……"

Muchigoro ran up to the health officer with a bewildered look on his face.

Robin took another sip of his cocktail and muttered to himself:

Lily Carnation?

Chopper traversed the tree hollow, chasing the figure ahead, and before he knew it, he had ventured deep into the forest.

After walking a short distance along the path left by the wild animals, Chopper noticed that the woods ahead seemed to have widened up a bit.

Chopper swallowed hard, almost losing his balance.

Hundreds of stone tablets were arranged in front of him.

"Could this be the cemetery?"

I never imagined there was such a large cemetery deep in the forest.

The shadow of the tombstone stretched long on the ground. Looking at the time, it was already evening. Chopper walked cautiously alone, searching for the person. Could it be the gravedigger? The cemetery was enveloped by dense vines, completely shrouding it.

Chopper stopped.

"It's a flower..."

The only difference was that the area around the grave was bare, except for the flowers scattered around it. However, the bouquet was withered, barely qualifying as a dried flower. As Robin had said, couldn't flowers grow on the island? Except for the flower on Baron Reveler's shoulder.

A figure suddenly appeared on the tombstone, and Chopper turned around abruptly.

"Ah—!" A shrill scream rang out.

The two of them exclaimed at the same time.

Chopper was terrified, and the man behind him also looked horrified.

"Who are you?" Nami asked calmly.

Hearing Chopper's shout, the skinny guy immediately stood up straight. He grabbed Chopper's chest, treating him like a child.

"Damn Baron of Revelry! This! This! This! Who do you think you are? You bastard!"

"I'm not an otter!"

Chopper transformed from a reindeer into a giant humanoid creature and grabbed the man by the chest. The man was immediately stunned by this force.

"Spare me!" came a scream.

"What are you doing, you bastard!"

Chopper lifted his opponent with his strong arm, and just then, a shout came from the other side:

"Dad!" Nami called out.

It was a little girl. Standing next to her was a slightly older girl.

"Get out of the way! Leave this to me!"

While calling out to his daughter, the man whispered to Chobar in private, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I mistook you for Baron Carnival's henchman, I'm really sorry."

Chopper was completely bewildered and could only hide behind the tombstone and listen.

"Who are you? You're not one of Baron Carnival's men!"

"What? So, you're a pirate too?"

And you... could this middle-aged man also be a pirate? But upon closer inspection, there is indeed a skull symbol on his hat (ccaf), but it doesn't feel intimidating at all.

"Oh dear! There are no leaves growing on my head!"

Chopper then realized that neither the middle-aged man nor his two daughters had any leaves on their heads.

"Uncle, we're pirates too. Our pirate crew is just a small family. We have two daughters over there, the older one is named Rosa, and the younger one is named Daisy. They're both very obedient and adorable."

The pirate father began to tell his story. Sure enough, like Chopper, they had also found a letter in a bottle.

"I heard this place is a tourist attraction, and I was even planning a picnic here, but it turns out it was all a lie. How could I possibly catch such a huge goldfish?"

Listening to his father's words, Chopper suddenly remembered the picnic ruins they had found deep in the forest. Could these be their relics? However, like Chopper, he was later forced to participate in this hellish trial.

"so what?"

“Of course they ran away. They’ve always lived deep in the forest. But my two daughters have always believed that their father is actually very powerful. So I have a small request: you are an understanding otter.”

"I'm not an otter! I'm a reindeer!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Reindeer! Could you please pretend to lose to my daughter?"

The request my father made was strange.

"Pretending. To maintain your dignity as a father. Please! If you agree, I'll tell you the secret of Carnival Island. You haven't been on this island long, have you?"

"A secret?" Angell was taken aback.

"Hmm, this secret is amazing!"

The naive Chopper believed his father's words without question.

"Fine. Just pretending is enough? Pretending—fine—you damn otter-fishman! Lift your head!"

"No, spare me!"

Dad raised his fist, and Chopper cooperated, trembling as he begged for mercy.

"careful!--"

"No need, I give up."
