Shanks indeed

When Tiger fell asleep, only Hongo, Merry and Laqilu were left on the boat.

Shanks brought Uta, Beckman, Gulishati and others to the island.

They split into several teams and dispersed, some going for walks, some going on adventures, and at the same time looking for suitable food on the island.

The trees on the island are particularly thick and tall, with trunks that require several people to hug. They tower into the clouds and reach the sky.

The surrounding bushes were also very dense, so high that they covered an adult's knees. They were dense and looked primitive and ancient.

Jesus walked in front, beating the bushes with a stick to scare and drive away snakes or other dangerous creatures hiding in them.

Uta sat on Shanks' shoulders, holding his head with her two little hands, looking around interestedly, her two little braids swinging with her, looking playful and cute.

Shanks grabbed Uta's legs with both hands, feeling her excitement, and a doting smile appeared on his face.

A small animal poked its head out from the tree. It looked a bit like a squirrel, but its body was rounder than a squirrel.

"Wow~" Uta excitedly stretched out her hand in the direction of the little squirrel and hummed a cheerful ballad, "Little squirrel~ Come quickly~ Furry~ Big eyes~ So cute~"

The clear nursery rhymes echoed in the woods, attracting more small animals. They peeked out from between the branches and looked at Uta, Shanks and Jesus with curious and alert eyes.

The little squirrel was also very brave. It climbed down from the branch and approached Uta step by step.

When it came within Uta's reach, it stuck its head out and sniffed the palm of her hand with its nose twitching.

Uta couldn't help but stretch out his hand to reach it, but it seemed to be frightened and quickly retreated, climbing higher up the tree.

"Don't be afraid, little squirrel. I won't hurt you~" Uta coaxed softly, unwillingly.

"qiuqiu~~" The little squirrel disappeared in the leaves, leaving only a crisp cry.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Uta's eyes, but he quickly returned to his bright smile: "Go! Shanks! Let's go!"

"Alright! Please sit tight, Miss!"

Shanks and Jesus continued to walk forward with Uta.

Big red flowers stand on the roadside, their petals are as bright as if dyed red with blood, layer upon layer, weird and enchanting.

Suddenly, one of the flowers bent down suddenly, opened its bloody mouth in the center of its pistil and aimed it at Uta, wanting to swallow her in one bite.

Uta was completely unaware of the approaching danger and continued to hum happily.

In a flash, a silver light flashed, and the thick stem was cut off at the waist, and the big red flower fell to the ground with a thud.

Shanks held up the Griffin in his hand and glanced to the side with a cold look.

The big red flowers around seemed to sense Shanks' murderous aura. After realizing that he was not someone to be trifled with, they all turned their flowers around in unison, lowering their heads and facing away from Shanks and the others, as if frightened.

"Hahaha~~~" Uta clapped his hands in delight when he saw this scene, "The spring breeze is blowing, the flowers are blooming, Shanks is here, and the flowers are withering~ la la la~~"

Shanks put away Griffin and shook his head helplessly: "Uta, what the hell are you singing..."

"I'm singing a song! I have a good father~~" Uta continued to sing happily with her eyes shining.

Jesus Bu next to him was also infected by the lively singing, and he smiled relaxedly and even hummed along.

"Go, go, go, go..."

"...Let's hold hands..."

The tender and cheerful singing voice floated in the forest, as clear and sweet as a silver bell, full of joy.

"Shanks, look," Uta suddenly stopped singing. She pointed to the bushes on the side, waving her hands and shouting excitedly, "What is that?"

Shanks pushed aside the dense bushes and walked forward, revealing a hidden grass nest.

Several basketball-sized eggs lay in the grass nest, with irregular patterns on the eggshells.

Uta exclaimed, "What a huge egg!"

"Haha, this isn't an egg," Shanks thought for a moment and guessed, "Well, this egg is so big, it must be a rudderbird egg."

Wuta asked expectantly, "Ostrich eggs? Are ostrich eggs delicious? Should we take some back?"

Jesus Bu also came over and took over the conversation with a smile: "Delicious, this is a very good ingredient."

As he spoke, he took out a bag from his backpack and prepared to put the eggs in it. Shanks put Uta down and helped to put the eggs in.

Delicious? Uta’s eyes lit up instantly, and she dived into the nearby bushes. Soon, her body was covered with fallen leaves and weeds.

"Shanks, Jesus, come quickly, there are ostrich eggs over there!" Uta ran back anxiously.

Shanks and Jesus followed and soon found another hidden grass nest.

They continued to put the eggs into the bags. Just when they were half full, a loud rumbling sound came from not far away, shaking the earth slightly.

"It's thundering, it's going to rain." Uta walked forward and tugged at the corner of Shanks' clothes.

"It's not thunder. Let's go faster."

Shanks's expression turned serious, and he and Jesus increased the speed of loading the eggs.

"roar---"

A thunderous roar came from above, the light was blocked by something, and the surroundings became dark.

Uta looked up and saw a ferocious dinosaur more than ten meters tall staring down at them, its huge body covering the entire sky.

When the dinosaur found out that his eggs had been stolen, he was furious. With a fierce look in his eyes, he opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and rushed towards Uta.

"Hurry! Run!"

Jesus grabbed the bag in his hand and rolled it to the side, and the eggs in the bag made a thud-thud sound.

At the same time, Shanks threw another bag over his shoulder, held Uta with his other hand, and jumped to the side.

Uta clutched Shanks' clothes tightly. Although he didn't cry, his little face was pale with fear and his eyes were full of horror.

It was the first time she had seen a dinosaur. Its huge and ferocious figure was particularly terrifying.

After the dinosaur's attack missed, it snorted angrily and quickly launched a new round of attacks.

The huge tail swept towards Shanks, and trees were broken wherever it passed.

Shanks held Uta in one hand and the bag of eggs in the other. He didn't have any hands to draw his sword, so he jumped up and kicked the dinosaur hard in the jaw.

"Roar——" The dinosaur roared, and its tall body lost balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Amazing!" Uta saw this scene, and the fear in her heart was instantly replaced by excitement. She clapped her hands happily, "As expected of Shanks!"

Jesus Bu came over from the other side and met up with Shanks. Before he could say anything, another roar was heard not far away.

There's more than one of these dinosaurs!

"Roar——" Dinosaurs suddenly came running from all directions, staring at Shanks and Jesus Bu angrily.

Shanks kicked down a few more dinosaurs with ease, but this action made the dinosaurs even more angry, and more and more dinosaurs gathered around.

Angry roars could be heard all day long.

Shanks and Jesus looked at each other, and both realized that the situation was not good.

Although they are both very powerful, they are not dinosaur-killing demons. It was wrong for them to take the eggs in the first place, so they cannot kill so many dinosaurs.

Just thinking about it, it seems too much to wipe out an entire race of dinosaurs just to satisfy a little appetite.

How about... Shanks and Jesus nodded at the same time, understanding what the other meant.

"run!"

Shanks shouted, holding Uta and running towards the coastline first, followed by Jesus Bu, still holding the bag of eggs tightly in their hands.

However, with the dinosaur eggs in hand, there was no way the dinosaurs would let them go.

The two sides started chasing each other in the dense forest. The dinosaurs, as big as hills, rushed around and soon destroyed the forest into a mess.

While running, Jesus accidentally destroyed the nest of another dinosaur, causing the dinosaur in the nest to angrily join the hunt.

The roar echoed in the forest, almost shaking the entire forest to pieces.

Gulishati, Beckman, Snake, Gabu and others who were exploring in the other two directions were also caught up in the chaos.

The dinosaurs could not tell the difference between these humans at all. When they heard their companions' shouts, they immediately launched an indiscriminate attack on the bipeds mentioned by their companions.

Gulishati, Beckman and others fled to the coast while cursing.

"What's going on?"

"Who messed with all these dinosaurs?"

"It must be that guy Shanks!"

......

Huge dinosaurs were running across the island. Their footsteps sounded like earthquakes, and thunderous roars rang out one after another, alarming other ordinary animals and various birds, and they also began to flee in all directions.

The woods were becoming increasingly chaotic.

The commotion on the island was so loud that the sea water was affected, causing ripples to appear and the ships anchored on the shore began to shake.

Hongo and Lachi Lu heard the noise coming from the island and rushed out of the cabin, just in time to see a large flock of birds startled away from the dense forest.

Lucky Lu shouted in surprise, "What did Shanks and the others do?"

Hongo held his forehead helplessly, a little helpless: "No matter what the captain does, it's not surprising."

Not long after, Hongo and Lachi Lu saw Shanks and his companions rushing out of the dense forest, followed by a series of dinosaurs that were more than ten or twenty meters tall.

While still quite far away, Shanks shouted in the direction of the ship: "Hongo! Lu! Weigh anchor and set sail!"

Hongo's face darkened. How could they have attracted so many dinosaurs? Shanks, indeed!

Although Hongo and Lachi Lu complained in their hearts, they did not hesitate at all and immediately dispersed, one ran to collect the anchor and the other ran to lower the sail.

As Lucky Rue untied the ropes that secured the sail, he shouted, "Merry, come and help, lower the sail."

"yes!"

Meli quickly crawled out of the cabin, climbed to the other sail, and untied the rope.

The sails unfolded with a whoosh and were blown up by the wind.

Shanks and his crew still had some distance to go before they could reach the ship, but the dinosaurs behind them were getting closer and closer.

"No need to wait! Start the boat!"

After pulling up the anchor, Hongo immediately ran to grab the rudder and turn the direction.

Tiger heard the chaotic commotion outside in the cabin. He sat up from the table, moved to the window and looked out. He just saw a group of people rushing out of the dense forest, followed by a large group of ferocious creatures. There was also a child in the crowd.

Tiger's heart sank suddenly. He had fainted on the shore before. Although his injuries were not serious, he had lost consciousness and had no power to resist. If he had not been rescued by the humans on this ship, he might have been torn to pieces by these ferocious creatures in his sleep.

Thinking of this, Tiger, who had always been proud, was filled with complex emotions. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did owe these humans a favor.

No... He doesn't want to owe humanity any favors! He must repay this life-saving grace as soon as possible!

Tiger made up his mind, endured the pain in his arm, and ran out of the cabin.
