“Fp, fp, fp…”

  “Little brother Ares…”

  “Wait! You ’t just fly around like that!”

  “Shh, everyone, block him!”

  In the Dreamnd Amusement Park, ughter filled the air.

  The newly born, adorably tiny Ares soared through the sky, babbling “wah wah yah yah” as he flew. His older siblings—Thor, Sif, and the others—encircled him, frantically trying to intercept him, worried he might escape.

  “El-sama…”

  The intelligence secretary, Baka, approached in haste.

  “We’ve just received a report: a colossal elephant has been spotted in Totto Land’s waters. It might be the Zou you were looking for. But what’s strange is that it trumpeted a few times in the dire of Cake Isnd, almost like it was greeting us from afar, and then it turo leave!”

  “What?”

  “A giant elephant?”

  Everyone present—Linlin, Lily, Sally, Gerd—was taken aback.

  “A ce?”

  El raised an eyebrow, intrigued. His gaze shifted to little Ares, who was babbling with appareement.

  This little one had seemed to be unig with something just now, even though he could only babble. At first, El thought it was simply his imagination. But the appearance of Zou couldn’t be a mere ce.

  These a, massive creatures possessed enigmatic powers that defied expnation. Could this little guy have a natural ability to hear the “Voice of All Things”? For such a special child, it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if he dispyed uraits. After all, El himself had been born with extraordinary Observation Haki, and this baby was the offspring of two natural-born monsters.

  “What’s the location?” Lillian asked directly.

  “From Atntis, it’s approximately two hundred nautical miles ihree o’clock dire,” Baka replied early. “Moss-sama has already received the report and is in pursuit. With his Vivre Card, it shouldn’t be hard to track him down.”

  “So it’s true…” El’s gaze softened as he turoward little Ares, fasated.

  Not long ago, the baby had been trying to fly in that same dire, but Thor, Eden, and the others had stopped him.

  “Wow… that’s one massive elephant!”

  Without hesitation, Lillian activated her Gre-Gre Fruit powers. Through her ability, she sed the distant seas. Moments ter, her astonished voice rang out:

  “It’s enormous! The elephant’s legs are like massive pilrs that stretto the clouds. And…” She focused on its back. “There’s an isnd on it—with so many Mink Tribe members living there!”

  “The Mink Tribe, huh?” El chuckled softly. “Then there’s no doubt—it’s Zou.”

  He stood up. “Let’s go take a look ourselves. And while we’re at it… the third red Road Poneglyph is there as well.”

  “What?”

  “The third Road Poneglyph?”

  “It’s on Zou?”

  Linlin, Sally, and Gerd wideheir eyes in disbelief. They had spent years mobilizing the Fallen Angel Pirates to search for that Poneglyph, only to discover it had been on the back of this colossal elephant all along.

  “Yes…” El smiled and nodded. He issued a direct order to Atntis, anding it to accelerate and pursue Zou.

  “oo—”

  The massive cloud isnd Homies soared through the sky, quickly leaving Totto Land’s waters behind and catg up to the enormous elephant. Linlin, Lily, Helen, Gerd, and the others—along with the children Thor, Sif, and Dal—gazed in amazement at the colossal, mist-shrouded elephant that seemed to block out the sun.

  “So huge!”

  Eden ran over, her big eyes sparkling as she asked El, “Daddy, are there other elephants this big in the world?”

  “This one is probably unique.” El stroked her head and smiled.

  Soon, the massive cloud isnd Homies rose higher, reag the giant elephant’s back. There, a vast isnd came into view—its size truly astonishing.

  “That is…”

  “Everyone, be careful!”

  “Could that be one of the legendary Sky Isnds?”

  The arrival of Atntis immediately caught the attention of the Mink Tribe residents on Zou. Startled, they raised their defenses.

  “Duke Barton, that’s El-sama and his group…”

  The Lion Mink, Moss—who eaking with a dignified, elderly reindeer Mink in fine clothes—quickly expined, “They must have heard that Zunesha eotto Land’s waters and came to iigate!”

  “Please don’t worry. El-sama is not unreasonable. He’s a member of the legendary Lunarian rad has always been very weling to unique races like ours!”

  Uher nations, the Mink Tribe’s try on Zunesha’s baown as the Dukedom of Mokomo—remains quite isoted. Duke Barton, the elderly reindeer Mink, was the leader and thus the king of this nd.

  Moss tinued with pride, his eyes shining with reverence, “Under El-sama’s leadership, the Totto Land Kingdom has rescued tless people from various races who were ensved and sold. He is revered as a savior by many minority races! Even within Totto Land, there are Minks like me who were stranded across the world and sold in au houses, uo return home. El-sama also saved many Mink sves from the Wover.”

  “I see…”

  The elderly reindeer Mink nodded solemnly, his expression filled with respect. “In that case, he is a beor of our Mink Tribe. We must not show him any disrespect.”

  He did not doubt Moss’s words. Although the Mink Tribe lived on Zunesha’s bad remained retively secluded, they occasionally received neers from passing News Coo. They were aware that Totto Land weled diverse races and advocated peaceful coexistehis had already given them a favorable impression of Totto Land, and hearing how it had saved many dispced Mink Tribe members only deepeheir gratitude.

  “Everyone, o be tense!”

  Duke Barton stepped forward and addressed the armed Mink guards, who stood ready. “Zunesha actally eotto Land’s territorial waters, whiaturally attracted their attention. These are huests and likely mean no harm!”
