Chapter 139 The Great Assault in the Rain!
Picking up where we left off, Wutian and his friends finally arrived at the entrance to the Rain Land. However, as soon as they stepped onto land, they were blocked by an animal called the Kung Fu Manatee. Vivi explained that this animal would challenge the strong, and if it won, it would show off; if it lost, it would become the opponent's apprentice.
Upon hearing this, Usopp confidently declared, "I'll take on ten!" However, he was easily defeated and knocked to the ground before he could even last a second...
On the other hand, Luffy and Goten had each taken half of the dugong, leaving everyone speechless. As the group prepared to move forward, the Kung Fu Dugong also prepared to go along. Upon seeing this, Goten said directly, "You guys stay here and take care of our ship. This is what your master expects of you, and it's also a good training opportunity for you. Do a good job!"
After leaving some food for the Kung Fu Dugong, Goten and his group headed full speed toward the Rain Land. Facing the scorching desert, and with Luffy constantly complaining as he walked, the already unbearable heat made everyone even more irritable...
Chopper, covered in fur, was immediately rendered unable to move and could only be pulled along by Zoro in a small cart. The Straw Hat Pirates continued on their way until they finally found a cool place to rest. Without thinking, Luffy left the others and rushed into it. By the time the others arrived, Luffy was already fast asleep...
As everyone was cooking, a flock of pesky birds suddenly darted out. Sanji, with his clear objective, snatched all the freshly cooked food. Luffy, seeing this, immediately yelled and ran after the wretched birds…
Goten had no intention of taking any action. After all, Luffy could easily handle this small matter, and it wasn't his turn to intervene. So Goten closed his eyes and simply rested for a while. However, less than three minutes after he closed his eyes, Luffy rushed back, yelling...
When Goten opened his eyes, he saw Luffy riding a camel he'd somehow acquired, being chased by a giant lizard, while shouting, "I've brought back food!"
Upon seeing this, Zoro and Sanji immediately rushed out and, together with Luffy, used a combination attack to defeat the giant lizard in one move. The next second, a giant lizard of the same kind also emerged from Goten's side, causing Usopp, Nami, Chopper, and Vivi to huddle together in fear...
Just as the giant lizard opened its mouth to feast, Goten fired a death ray from his finger, easily killing it. After dealing with the two lizards, the group finally had their fill. Luffy, having found a camel somewhere, quickened their pace, even though this lewd camel only carried ladies…
After a frantic rush, Goten and his group finally arrived in the Rain Land. Just as they were preparing to storm Crocodile's lair, they unfortunately ran into Smoker and his subordinate Tashigi, who had been following them based on intelligence. As a result, the group was instantly scattered by the rain...
Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, Nami, and Vivi, while being chased by Smoker, accidentally stumbled into Crocodile's casino. Goten and Chopper, on the other hand, were cornered and managed to escape by hiding in dilapidated wooden crates. Sanji, however, had disappeared...
After the Marines left, Chopper couldn't help but ask Goten, "Goten, why did you run away? Don't you know how to fly? And you have the power to easily defeat them..."
When faced with Chopper's question, Goten patiently explained, "Although we could do that, it's unnecessary. After all, the Marines are the protectors of the people, and we can't go too far. Since we can't protect the citizens, we might as well let the Marines take over. It's only natural for pirates to hide from the Marines; we just need to abide by that rule."
Chopper suddenly understood: "I see..."
After observing the Navy's retreat, Goten called Chopper and continued towards Crocodile's casino. Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew had already fallen into Crocodile's trap and were imprisoned in a seastone prison along with Smoker.
Upon arriving outside the casino, Goten discovered it was surrounded by the Marines. Just then, a hand landed on his shoulder from behind. Goten turned around and saw it was Sanji. After a brief discussion, Goten, Chopper, and Sanji decided that they would act as bait to lure the Marines away, while Goten would enter the casino to confront Crocodile…
As planned, the two men and one deer, after Sanji and Chopper lured away the Marines, Goten successfully entered the casino. After some hiding and dodging, he finally met Crocodile himself. Seeing that Crocodile had Vivi in his grasp, Goten shouted and delivered a flying kick to Crocodile, saving Vivi.
Having recovered, Crocodile looked at Goten who had rushed over and sneered, "Oh... where did this brat come from, daring to overestimate himself and come to his death? You're not stupid enough to think you can defeat me, are you..."
Upon hearing this, Goten didn't want to waste any more words. He took a step forward and delivered a powerful punch to Crocodile's face, letting him feel his strength. Crocodile, who had been unfazed, finally changed his attitude after being hit by Goten's powerful punch...
Once Crocodile got serious, he activated his Devil Fruit ability in the next second. He was a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit user, and his body instantly turned into sand, surrounding Goten. Goten, seeing yet another Logia-type Devil Fruit appear, was slightly annoyed...
Crocodile suddenly unleashed his "Desert Blade" technique, sending sand slashing towards Goten like sharp blades. Goten could only dodge by jumping left and right. It was then that Goten was surprised to discover that Luffy and the others were trapped. However, Goten was too busy dealing with Crocodile's attacks to rescue them.
Seeing Goten at a disadvantage, Nami couldn't help but panic. However, Zoro said calmly, "Just stay put. Goten hasn't transformed yet, which means he hasn't used his full strength, so there's no need to panic..."
As soon as Zoro finished speaking, Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan and launched an attack at double speed. As long as Crocodile got there first, Goten swiftly struck him, forcing Crocodile to remain in his elemental form. Gradually, Crocodile could no longer keep up with Goten's speed and began to consider temporarily escaping...
Crocodile then unleashed a Sand Tornado attack, blowing Goten away and shattering the glass of the exhibit holding the crocodile. As seawater rushed in, Crocodile took the opportunity to escape. Goten, seeing this, was about to give chase when Nami called out, "Goten, wait! Save us first! Luffy can't use his powers in this Seastone prison..."
Upon hearing this, Wutian asked in confusion, "Seastone? What is that...?"
Smoker explained, "It's a shackle specifically designed to counter Devil Fruit users. Once a user comes into contact with it, they lose their strength. It's a special stone with the same power as the ocean..."
Seeing this, Goten had no choice but to let Crocodile go for now. He grabbed the cell door with both hands, preparing to force it open, but Smoker immediately warned him, "Kid, this kind of cell can't be opened with brute force. Go find the key..."
However, the next second there was a loud crash, and the cell door had been forcibly demolished by Goten. Goten held up the cell door and questioned Smoker: "What did you just say?"
Smoker was completely dumbfounded. Goten had actually dismantled the Seastone cage with brute force alone...
