Chapter 865 "Laugh Tale"

Apart from being surrounded by layers of sea fog, there is nothing special about the final island named "Laugh Tale" by Pirate King Roger.

Of course, there were no people on the island, and few animals were seen. It was obvious that if there were birds landing here, people like Morgause who could communicate with birds or other animals would have known about Raftelu in this way. Why would they need redstone as a signpost? Apart from a group of monkeys, this "amphibious" Cirque du Soleil parked in a corner of the island was no different from other idle or abandoned theaters.

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

Come to think of it, it has been exactly eight hundred years.

The monkeys were originally scattered lazily, some 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 a reef near the theater, bathing in the steam rising from the sea, wagging their tails to catch lice; some were lying in a circle in the middle of the stage, heads touching each other, like a blooming sun...

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

Luffy made the same expression, staring at the monkeys, tilting his head in unison with question marks appearing on his head.

The monkeys suddenly became happy and active, laughing and chirping, chasing each other, doing somersaults, and climbing up and down in and out of the old Cirque du Soleil theater. They even ran behind the curtain of the stage, which must be the backstage of the performance, because after the monkeys came in and out, they changed into magicians, assistants, and even put on stage performance masks, pretending to be lions, tigers, and sharks...

"There's a show!" Luffy seemed to have made the best of it, seeming to have forgotten that they were here to look for a great treasure. He happily sat down cross-legged, ready to enjoy the circus performance of the monkeys on the shore, "We're lucky! Hehe."

Lynch and Robin observed the monkeys becoming lively on the stage.

Nami hesitated and said, "They..."

Chopper was shocked and murmured, "They are not living animals at all..."

Franky smiled and said, "It's a pure mechanical creation! It's quite amazing that they can make such an intelligent robot monkey."

These mechanical monkeys busy performing on the stage reminded Lynch of some scenes he saw in his stand's memory - when he and Robin followed the Straw Hat Pirates to Sky Island, "BIB" did what Lynch would do if he was present, inspiring everyone to drive Enel's Ark Maxim to the "infinite land" moon for a tour.

If I remember correctly, there was an army of robots in the underground ruins on the moon that should have been discovered by Enel and activated by the lightning of the Thunder Fruit. Unfortunately, BIB and Robin had focused on the ancient murals on the moon and did not find any robot soldiers.

The mechanical monkeys in front of us seemed to be guarding the Cirque du Soleil theater. They looked a bit like the robot soldiers. Perhaps they were made from the same technology.

Why did Joyboy create these mechanical monkeys and leave them to guard this abandoned Cirque du Soleil? The answer is simple. Since they are members of the circus, they stay to perform.

The mechanical monkeys changed their costumes, performed their respective duties, and began their performance.

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

Sanji was stunned. These wings looked very similar to the wings of the residents of Sky Island.

Some of the mechanical monkeys have black wings on their backs...

Zoro and Kitsunemaru's expressions changed. These pitch-black wings looked too much like the Flame Disaster King Jin under Kaido's command.

However, monkeys are monkeys after all, and even if they are mechanical monkeys, they have deliberately retained many of their habits. In other words, even if they are performing a drama very attentively, jumping up and down, flapping their fake wings, and sometimes pulling each other, it is certainly funny enough and in line with the circus's positioning of bringing laughter to the audience, but the message they want to convey is really a bit abstract. Vaguely, probably, it seems, maybe, maybe it is saying that a group of winged people flying down from the sky have divided into different camps? There are those with black wings and those with white wings...

"Hahahahaha!" Luffy was delighted by what he saw, clapping his hands and feet. "What the hell, this is such a bad acting, it's really funny! Hahahaha!"

The monkeys on the stage were originally quite happy, but after hearing what happened next, they all felt like eggplants hit by frost and were devastated.

Even their reactions to being hit were exaggerated on purpose, which made Luffy laugh even more exaggeratedly, with tears streaming down his face.

"Squeak! Squeak~~!!" The monkeys seemed very happy that their performance made the audience laugh. They were very encouraged and scratched their ears and cheeks excitedly.

This simple reaction made Lynch, Zoro, Nami and others smile. Even Robin, who had been very cautious and even nervous from the beginning, trying to grasp every subtle movement of the monkeys and interpret them, relaxed his brows and laughed in relief. Perhaps, the performance of these monkeys was just a little joke that Joyboy played on the people who arrived here.

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

"Ooooh! Unicycle!" Luffy's eyes sparkled, "Can you transform?"

The monkey in the straw hat stumbled on the unicycle and almost fell over.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Luffy!" Usopp laughed, "How can a monkey change - really change!?" He stared and shouted, it turned out that the coquettish unicycle on the stage rolled on the ground, and the straw hat monkey stood up again. He took out a red clown nose from somewhere and put it on his nose.

Luffy was shocked and said, "You are Buggy!?"

"No." Usopp and Nami flattened Luffy's cheeks with their fists on the left and right.

"Squeak, squeak!" The straw hat clown monkey actually stepped on two other little monkeys on his arms, and another little monkey climbed from behind him to the top of his head and did a somersault.

Chopper and Meili were shocked and exclaimed, "How amazing!"

Is this monkey wearing a straw hat playing Joy Boy himself? Lynch and Robin thought at the same time. In short, judging from the way Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were enjoying the show, the performance of this monkey clown Mr. Joy Boy seemed to be very successful...

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

Brook opened his skull and took out the sound shell.

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

This sound berry recorded the last sound of the Rumba Pirates, the last ensemble, trio, duet, and his own solo...

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

Lab's big eyes were tearful and he let out a low sob.

Brooke soon burst into laughter, stood up gracefully, put on a black top hat on his afro, and spread his bony arms. "Yo-ho-ho, we successfully went around the world, Lab! It's amazing! Our adventure with our friends - it's really wonderful! Don't you agree, Lab!"

“Ohhhh…”

Laboo howled to the sky, and at the end of this world, his cry seemed to reach heaven.

In mid-air, thunderclouds chased each other. Mjolnir was close to Thor, who was always eager to try Hela and always quarreled with Sif. Maul lazily hid aside, and the quiet bespectacled thundercloud Ymir was also unwilling to pay attention to people. It always followed its master Robin quietly, watching from the sidelines, and at most would disdainfully push the World Tree aside, or float to Lynch's side to avoid the harassment of the super abnormal World Tree...

"By the way, where is the 'Great Secret Treasure'?" Brook looked at the monkeys performing and said suddenly, feeling particularly disappointed. "The Roger Pirates should have left all their treasures here, right?"

"Treasure?"

As if a key word was triggered, Nami, who had originally begun to appreciate the circus performance of the mechanical monkeys, suddenly came back to her senses.

"squeak?"

The straw hat clown monkey seemed to be about to do something, but when he saw this, he tilted his head and paused, looking at Brook, then looking at Luffy.

Brook said angrily, "What's the matter? Is it strange that pirates want treasure? Could it be that the new guy named Roger was just joking when he said he left everything on this island?"

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

"How did 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 the role of Joyboy took off his straw hat, and by some magic trick, the hat turned into a pirate captain's hat.

It put the pirate captain's hat on its head, swung the unicycle around, stopped in front of the stage and looked back at the stage, pretending to look up and laugh silently, its movements were exaggerated and funny.

At the same time, the other monkeys also acted almost at the same time. They performed a trick one after another. Some tied their hair into a ponytail, some conjured up a pair of glasses and put them on, some took out two axes, some attached two gills on their shoulders to pretend to be fishmen, and some conjured up a few huge decorative petals and stuck them behind their heads...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Kurokas?" Robin said.

Lin Qi was surprised. "Really? It's so abstract, how did you recognize it so quickly?"

Robin smiled modestly, "It's just pretending to be like that."

The monkey with a circle of flowers on the back of his head pretending to be Crocus bowed to Robin, then used his hands and feet to run with the other monkeys to the back of the Joyboy monkey wearing a captain's hat, who was posing for a long time with his big mouth smiling silently and awkwardly, waiting for the other monkeys to cooperate... Joyboy monkey rubbed his mouth, which seemed to be sore from laughing, and grinned at the monkeys behind him angrily.

"Hahaha." Luffy, Nami and the others were amused, and their reaction was exactly what the monkeys wanted to see. They couldn't help scratching their ears and cheeks, feeling quite complacent.

Lynch laughed and said, "Is it playing the role of Roger when he first arrived here?"

Luffy exclaimed, "Ah!" and pointed at the tarsier that was closest to the laughing monkey in the group, "Is that Uncle Rayleigh?!"

Zoro and the fox Onimaru were staring at a monkey that looked like a dual-sword samurai in the monkey group. They thought it was the monkey who was impersonating Kozuki Oden, who was also in Roger's pirate group at the time.

Robin noticed that Lynch took a closer look at the monkey with a ponytail.

Soon, everyone understood why the monkeys wanted to play the role of Roger's pirates. On the one hand, it was for show effect, and on the other hand, they quickly reproduced what Roger and his men did next - dumping all the treasures on the "ship" into the offshore waters! "What are you waiting for?" Nami acted decisively and waved her hand, "Go down and search!"

Boom!

Thunder flashed into the sky near the sea. The monkeys were startled and stared blankly at the excited Nami.

It was Lynch who took action again - Lynch took action, and let the Stand take action - the Stand 『BIB』 touched the turbulent sea water, and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit directly lifted up the entire coastal area like a thick carpet of sea water, revealing the situation under the sea, which was not very deep. The mountains of gold, the glittering jewels of various colors, and the countless rare treasures... It was so dazzling that Nami's eyes were blinded! Even Zoro couldn't help but smile. It is gratifying to come with joy and leave with joy, and return with a full load.

"BIB" controlled a huge amount of sea water to float above everyone's heads. Everyone seemed to have come to the Saint Seiya Undersea Chapter. A layer of sea water refracted and swayed light above their heads... and around the exposed seabed, the sea water that wanted to flow back in was also stopped by "BIB" using the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and not a drop came in.

Faced with the treasure, Nami had no doubt about her actions. With lightning speed, she grabbed Little Green and put all the treasures left behind by Roger's pirate group on the seabed into the castle.

So it was at this time, after all the treasures were swept away, that everyone saw that thing.

A plant.

A pure golden fruit blooms at the top.

…

"So you guys can write?!"

Nami was speechless. These mechanical monkeys performed a circus for half a day, and finally danced and said that each of them actually mastered a part of the ancient text - that is, the straw hat red nose monkey played by Joy Boy asked them to remember. Each monkey remembered a part of it, just 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 the "BIB" and was sitting cross-legged in meditation to digest the final power, and called the monkeys over to watch them repeat the ancient text chapters they remembered one by one. Robin used the ability of the Hana-Hana Nomi to create more than a dozen clones, which wrote down the different parts of the ancient text one by one, and began to interpret them while writing them down.

Meanwhile, the Joyboy monkeys continued the performance they were meant to do before being interrupted by Brooke.

"Joey Boy" seemed to have sacrificed his life and all his efforts to complete the plant that everyone had seen blooming on the seabed...

Zoro and Sanji were very puzzled, "Is this a devil fruit? It doesn't look like it..."

Franky also pondered, "The pure gold appearance, without any swirl patterns, does not look like a devil fruit... Wait!"

He touched the pure gold devil fruit with his big hand, and actually knocked off a layer of gold powder, revealing the pure white fruit inside.

Nami exclaimed, "Who has such a bad taste? And even put a layer of gold powder on it? How tacky!"

"That's a weird thing to hear coming from you..." Usopp complained.

“Squeak~~!”

The monkeys gestured to the crowd and it took a long time for everyone to guess what they meant. Mr. Chopper expressed that he was quite upset that he could not understand the language of the mechanical monkeys. This layer of gold powder was applied by Roger.

…

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

More than 20 years ago, at this place, Roger was quite unhappy facing the pure white buds of the same underwater plant.

"It will take at least ten years for the mermaid princess to be born. I've been predicted that... But this is the only thing I can't rush..."

He can't possibly give birth to a hairy daughter for Neptune, right? !
