One Piece: The sky is azure, I just time-traveled today.

Page 97

Sunlight pierced through the haze and spilled across the sea.

A lush green island came into view.

The weather was fine and sunny, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

It was like a completely different world from the eerie scene just now.

The record pointer stabilized and pointed to the center of the island.

Island of Deception

The name is engraved on a wooden sign on the shore.

The handwriting was crooked, like a joke.

Sabo squinted at the sign.

"It doesn't sound very honest."

Kuina's hand remained on the hilt of the knife.

"Unusually quiet."

Robin observed the footprints on the beach.

"A mixture of various organisms, with significant differences in body size."

Liu Jiu was the first to step onto the beach.

The footsteps were so light they made no sound.

The colorful mushrooms make a clucking sound.

The man-eating plant burped and spat out a tattered straw hat.

"The taste isn't very good. It's better to eat vegetarian food; it's easier on the stomach," it complained.

They move on.

A fox sat on a tree stump.

It wore a monocle and held a pocket watch in its paw.

"You are three minutes late, so you will be served dinner later today as punishment," it said sternly.

There were three fluffy little chicks in front of me.

The chicks chirped and chattered around the fox.

"Tch, I bet we'll be eating carrots again today!"

"That's right, we're foxes! We should eat meat!"

"That's right, it makes us feel like we're being laughed at every time we go out!"

The fox adjusted its glasses.

"Nutrition should be balanced."

It took out three carrots.

"Eating this is good for your hair."

An angry chick took the carrot, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it.

"I want to eat chicken! We foxes are born to eat chicken!"

The other chick nodded in agreement.

"That's right! When we grow up, we're going to eat all the chickens on the island!"

The third chick looked worried.

"But... what does a chicken look like?"

The fox nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, keep up this thirst for knowledge."

It then pulled out three carrots.

"Now, eat this fried chicken. Eat it while it's hot!"

The three chicks immediately protested: "Are you kidding me? It's still just a carrot. If you don't have the means, don't try to have three kids like that."

The fox scoffed. "If I didn't need to wait for you to grow up, I would have turned you into fried chicken long ago. Why would I need to deceive you with species? Hatching eggs doesn't take any time."

Sabo watched this scene in silence, then turned to look at Kuina.

"I may not have emerged from the fog yet."

Guina's thumb pulled the Purple Cloud Peak half an inch out of its sheath.

"Want to cut open that fox and take a look?"

Robin pondered for a moment, shook his head, and took out a notebook to write it down.

"It's unnecessary, but we can't rule out cognitive dissonance... or group hypnosis?"

Liu Jiu glanced briefly at the fox.

The fox suddenly shivered, and the pocket watch fell to the ground.

"Children, it's not a good day to go out. Let's go home early!"

It was about to snatch up the three chicks and dash into the bushes without looking back.

But suddenly the three chicks puffed out their fluffy chests and came straight to Liu Jiu and his group of four.

"What are you looking at, everyone?"

The lead chick tilted its head and put its wings on its hips.

The other two immediately assumed fighting stances.

"Do you want to have a one-on-one fight?"

"If you're so capable, then get out here!"

Sabo almost burst out laughing at this scene.

Kuina's thumb slowly pushed Ziyun back into its sheath. She couldn't bring herself to kill such an adorable creature; her conscience would hurt if she did.

Robin paused on the notebook, suddenly finding the three little guys excessively adorable.

Liu Jiu's gaze swept over the chicks.

Look at the fox trembling behind them.

The fox's fur stood on end.

"I'm sorry! The children don't know any better! I'll take them away right away!"

It hurriedly bowed, trying to pull the chicks back.

But the chicks didn't buy it at all.

"Mom, go away!"

"That's right, let me reason with them!"

"That's right, our fox family can't afford to lose face, especially not in front of outsiders!"

This terrified the fox. It didn't care about losing face; it was more about losing its life.

Sabo finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He stared at the three menacing chicks.

Do you know who we are?

The chicks looked at each other and answered confidently:

"Tch, they're just some clueless extras! Do you think they're the main characters?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll call some guys to bring weapons and burn your asses!"

"That's right, this is our home turf. Do you think you can escape our grasp?!"

Chapter 117 The Tournament for the King of Beasts

The fox's fur stood on end, forming a ball, and it slid down to the chick.

"My little darlings! Stop talking!"

The voice was crying.

It turned to Sabo and the other three, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Gentlemen! Give me a way out!"

"They're still young! Their brains haven't fully developed yet!"

As he spoke, he slapped the chick's head hard with his paw.

"Apologize now! Say sorry!"

The chicks were dazed and confused from being slapped, but their beaks remained stubborn.

"Why should I apologize!"

"We are the future kings of beasts!"

"Exactly! Once we rule this island..."

The fox was so frightened that it immediately covered their mouths.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, everyone!"

"They drank too much mushroom soup last night!"

"You're hallucinating!"

It bowed desperately.

His forehead was almost touching the ground.
