[potatopassenger]

This was a super cute ending actually

[sanjis-moulinrouge]

Idk what's going on between Sanji and Zoro during Chopper's Kingdom movie but I like it.

The way they compliment each other (behind their backs) after defeating enemies is fantastic.

Also, Zoro's back 👀hot damn

Chopper's Kingdom On the Island of Strange Animals - Pt. 1

After their hot adventure on Alabasta, the crew was looking over a new map. "The island of the King's treasure?" Zoro asked.

"Yes," Nami replied, "It's called Crown Island."

"Nami-san, you are the best," Sanji praised through some cooking.

"The treasure must be magnificent!" Usopp cheered, as he tinkered.

"You're sounding like Nami there," Venus giggled while watching him, not noticing the navigator's unamused look towards her.

"Let's go already!" Luffy beamed. "I'm pumped!"

"Let's not," Chopper, the newest crewmember, chimed in, and everyone turned to him in surprise.

"Why not, Chopper?" Zoro pumped a pair of dumbbells.

"We can't just leave treasure, and not steal it," Nami added.

"But there'll be pirates there!" Chopper exclaimed.

"You're one too," Usopp pointed out.

"Ah! I forgot..."

"Hey..."

"But what if you get really hurt?"

"That's what we have you for," Usopp walked around him, and proudly held his hand out in his direction.

"Yeah, but..."

"You worry about stupid things. Worry about the monsters!"

"Monsters?" Chopper's eyes widened at that.

"Vampire penguins, and man-eating clams!" Usopp held his arms out like Frankenstein's monster. "Violent fried octopi, and carnivorous dumplings!"

"Yeah, right," Nami muttered.

"Don't scare him!" Venus scolded the sniper. "But if we do find a vampire penguin, can I keep it?"

"No!" Nami snapped.

Chopper quickly backed up, before bumping into Luffy. "Oh, sorry-"

"A monster!" He screamed at his crude drawing.

"Hey, I'm not a monster!"

"You're too scared," Zoro reprimanded, "You need to fight with us."

"I fight bravely, if I really have to!" He retorted. "Remember Mr. 4, and Ms. Merry Christmas?!"

"Just don't run away when it counts," Sanji advised, as he served Nami and Venus their meals.

"I'm a pirate now," Chopper glared, "I won't run away!"

Just then, out of nowhere, they felt a huge rumbling, which rocked the Merry. "What's going on?" Usopp and Chopper panicked, hopping back and forth.

Everyone rushed outside, and there was a trail of geysers bursting out of the ocean. "Land ahoy!" Luffy reported. When the trail headed straight for them, Zoro jumped back in shock, bumping into Sanji, before they were launched straight into the sky. Nami gripped the railing, as Venus and Usopp tumbled along the deck, and Sanji stayed on the stairs.

Luffy held onto the tangerine trees, and grabbed Usopp and Venus when their grips loosened. "Underwater volcanoes!" Zoro exclaimed, the three bouncing back and forth with Luffy's rubber arm.

Just then, the geyser disintegrated into steam. "Look there!" Nami pointed.

"It's forming a circle!" Zoro gawked at the steam rocketing all around the island.

"A circle?" Luffy jumped in to see for himself.

"Is that...?" Usopp watched from the rope ladder, "Is that...?"

"Doesn't it look like...?" Venus pointed out, but trailed off, just above him.

"Yes," Nami now had an excited glint in her eyes, "I'm sure of it."

"It's Crown Island!" Luffy cheered. From the sky, they saw that it was a lush green with plentiful foliage, a reddish mountain, and a waterfall behind a rainbow. "Woohoo! What a nice looking island!"

"Sorry to spoil your fun," Zoro cut in, and on cue, they began falling straight down!

"Chopper!" Venus screamed when the reindeer flew away, bumping into the crow's nest, and ripping the flag off in an attempt to stay put.

"Chopper!" Luffy stretched his arm out to grab him, but he was too far away, before the Merry crash-landed on the ocean, knocking everyone out.

"Hey, everyone all right?" Zoro asked around after it was calm again.

"I think I'm dead," Usopp groaned from the rope ladder, upside down.

"In that case, so am I," Venus agreed groggily, slumped over above him.

Sanji blinked deliriously, before perking up. "Oh, Nami-san... I've died, and gone to heaven." His head had landed cozily in her lap, while she was in a short, white dress.

"Get off me!" She punched him away.

"You're cute when you're angry!"

"You there." Luffy and Zoro turned around at the strange, gravelly voice. They turned to see a large, green bird with a bald head perched on a hippo with dark red fur, and a gold nose ring in the center. Next to him was what appeared to a ram. "What do you want here?" Sanji plopped down in the sand in front of them.

"W-what?" Usopp stammered, "The bird talks?"

"It's a parrot," Zoro pointed out, "Parrots speak."

"Not on its own like that!" Nami exclaimed.

"Human tongue is no problem for me. But I have to admit, only I and Raventi can talk like this."

An ecstatic Luffy jumped down, and sprinted up to him. "Wow! This island is so cool!"

"Who are you?"

"Hey, have you seen Chopper?"

"Chopper?"

-

Elsewhere, there was a tree with an open trunk on the side of the mountain, with a trail occupied by a line of strange animals. The tree occupied the deceased body of a lion-qilin hybrid creature with large, golden horns, and an orange mane. Before him, stood a human boy in a loincloth, and a small, dark blue bird with round eyeglasses, and red and yellow feathers on his head. "Chimerion..." The boy muttered sadly.

"Mombambi," The bird turned to him, "Our king has fulfilled his duty, and died. You can't mourn forever."

"I know, Raventi."

As they walked out, an elephant with a short horse's mane, and ring-like ears rung a huge shell with a log. "When the crown envelopes the isle, heaven shall give us new blood."

"But is that really true? Will we really get a new king?"

"I think so. The elders have always said so."

"An animal king from heaven? There's no way."

On cue, at where the other animals were gathered, a small reindeer in a black cape came tumbling down, and landed butt-down on the sharp rock. "Kiiiiiiiiii-!" He screamed out, taking on a large, muscular build.

"It's saying "king"!" Mombambi exclaimed, after running over with Raventi.

"From the heavens!"

"Kiiiiiiiiii-!" He screamed again, before collapsing, turning small again, and stumbling on his hind hooves.

He opened his eyes to see the animals dancing around him in celebration. "The animal king! It's our king!"

"Animal... king?" He almost whispered, utterly confused, and glanced around. "King? Where?"

"Amazing!" Mombambi gushed. "He can speak human tongue!"

"Are you the animal king?"

"Stop joking! You're the king of all!"

Raventi approached him, as Mombambi danced with joy. "The legend was true! It's our new king!"

"King?" Chopper gawked. "I'm the animal king?!"

Okay, movie 3. There is no timeframe where this could be in the actual series. They have Chopper but neither Vivi or Robin. In addition Nami still carries a wooden bo staff.

So we start with Nami telling the others about Crown Island and a legendary treasure. Everyone is up for the new adventure with the exception of Chopper who is not too enthused about risking his life for no real reason.

I kinda love this scene because the crew is all telling Chopper that in a real fight, they expect him to do his best. I also love how Usopp teases Chopper so much, trying to scare him. The moment is ended abruptly when they enter the area of Crown Island and the ship is forced airborne, losing Chopper during the landing.

The inhabits of the island are almost exclusively animals with the exception of one human, a boy named Mobambi. Mobambi was the son of a famous botanist who was murdered by a pirate in front of Mobambi. The boy ended up stranded on Crown Island and the animal king, a massive lion, took Mobambi as his son and raised him. Now the king has passed and the animals are trying to determine the next ruler.

Enter Chopper, falling from the sky and screaming in pain from a rock, prompting the animals to confuse the noise for him saying the word ‘king’. Chopper is crowned the King of the Animals much to his shock. Chopper decides to stay and help the injured animals but he fully intends to rejoin Luffy and the others when they find him, much to Mobambi’s fury as he hates pirates.

The Strawhats meanwhile come across intruders on the island. Count Battler and his minions Hot Dog and Snake have been controlling a heard of horn eaters to round up any horn bearing animal on the island, chop off their horns and leave them for dead, many of which perish from their wounds. They are looking for a legendary horn that will grant great powers to the possessor. Battler is an idiot who tells the whole plan to the Strawhats, prompting them to have to flee and decide that they need to find Chopper quickly.

The Strawhats go to see the animal king, only to learn it’s Chopper. The animals are not happy to see the Strawhats as they don’t trust humans. Battler and his men destroy the remains of Mobambi’s father’s old ship, causing everyone to rush to the scene minus Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. Luffy ate too much and got the three of them stuck.

While Chopper and the rest confront Battler, Chopper ends up deciding to lure the Horn Eaters away from all the animals. However the animals and Mobambi interpret Chopper’s actions as a move of cowardice. The majority renounce Chopper as their king and decide to leave him to his own fate. Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro arrive and Zoro and Sanji go on ahead. Luffy, Nami, and Usopp talk to Mobambi, who wants to help Chopper but knows there isn’t much he can do. He stays behind as Luffy and the rest go on.

Chopper ends up cornered by Battler and his men, but fortunately Sanji and Zoro are there

Interestingly enough, we break the typical battle set up here. Usually if someone is a swordsman, Zoro is their opponent. This time however, Sanji took on the swordsman, offended that the man thought he was such a ladies man. Zoro took on the kick focused combatant, taking issue that the man thought he was the strongest. The two of course win their respective fights. While this is going on, Usopp and Nami trap the horn eaters so they can’t harm anyone else.

Mobambi goes to the corpse. Of his father figure and former king. He decides he needs to help and to do that, he needs to take the islands greatest treasure, the King’s horns. He is warned that if he does he will be exiled, but he can’t just do nothing anymore. So he does anyway.

Mobambi ends up teaming up with Luffy and Chopper but unfortunately he losses the island’s treasure in the process. Despite that, all the animals of the island swarm in to protect Mobambi. Luffy sends the bad guy flying and Mobambi is crowned king. Mobambi feels more confident and stronger now, having facing the man who killed his father and protected not only his friend Chopper but the entire island.

The ending credits were cute because they emphasized each of the Strawhats treasures and how those items became so important to the Strawhats.

Now I personally love this movie but it is more to do with the actual relationship with all the Strawhats than anything else. Zoro holding Chopper when he rescued him, saying Chopper is their treasure at the end, and overall being supportive of Chopper. It was funny when Chopper introduced the Strawhatsto the animals and Zoro just goes ‘sup’. I also love how worried Zoro was over the crew, asking if everyone was alright after they fell and checking on them. Sanji and Zoro also complimenting each other to their defeated opponents too was really cool.

I loved Usopp and Chopper’s relationship too. Usopp teasing Chopper but also using himself as a decoy to ensure Chopper would survive the stampede of animals was a really big moment for Usopp. And Usopp and Nami working together to trap the heard was great.

Overall of the first three movies I think it’s my favorite but mostly for character interactions than anything else.

Chopper's Kingdom On the Island of Strange Animals - Pt. 2

"I'm hungry!" Luffy whined through his growling stomach.

"Just fields, and jungle everywhere," Usopp groaned, laying close by on a flat rock, "We'll starve to death."

"Why are you following us?" Sanji asked the parrot.

"Silence, human! We are watching your every step."

"Relax, we're not here to eat you," Zoro assured with irritation.

"I want meat!" Luffy yelled, and flailed about like a child. "Meat! Gimme meat! I'm hungry!"

"I don't trust them."

In the distance, a pig with an inverted nose, and a furry, curled tail ran up to the top of a hill, began honking and snorting, almost as if it were sounding an alarm. "What a weird pig!" Nami remarked.

Luffy jumped to his feet, drooling eagerly. "It's a pile of pork!"

"It's a messenger pig!" The parrot explained, as it zipped away. "A new king has been crowned."

"A new king?"

Just then, hundreds of varying animals came stampeding in. "What a herd!" Sanji remarked.

"This many?" Usopp watched them, protectively keeping Venus close.

"It's a celebration for the new king!"

Suddenly, the rocks they sat on came to life; they were rhinos! "What's this all about?" Nami asked, as the stone-like creatures joined in the sprint.

"Square rhinos!" Usopp exclaimed.

"Awesome!" Luffy cheered.

-

Meanwhile, a confused, nervous Chopper now donned a suit, red bow tie with his "cloak", which was actually the Straw Hat flag, and a gold crown on top of his hat, along with a wreath of flowers. "Why am I the king?"

"You came from the heavens," Mombambi replied.

"But these clothes..."

"Those are my old- oh, never mind." He stopped when Chopper began walking away. "No, wait!"

"I'm going home."

"But you must stay here, and protect the isle!"

"I'm not the king!" Chopper protested when Mombambi grabbed his cloak. "I'm Tony Tony Chopper!"

"Chopper? A fine name. I'm Mombambi."

"Really?" He turned back to him. "My teacher, the best doctor of all, gave me this name."

"You're a doctor? Great!" The boy beamed. "Some of us are hurt. You're amazing!"

"Me... amazing?" Chopper blushed.

"Of course! We can count on you."

He pinched his own cheek to keep it together. "Well, I suppose."

"And you're very brave."

"You idiot!" Now embarrassed, Chopper suddenly grew into Heavy Point again, and destroyed the rock with one punch.

"Amazing! You're the best!"

He turned back into his small form, and started dancing. "You won't make me happy with compliments!"

"You certainly look happy..."

"Now, we will celebrate our new king!" Raventi announced. "First, the king shall speak."

Chopper tensed up when he was surrounded by the other animals. "Wait, I'm not the king..."

"You're not?" Mombambi frowned sadly.

"Sorry, I'm..." Chopper backed up, only to step on a sharp rock fragment. "Kiiiiiiiiii-!" He shouted, and fell face-down.

"He said "king"!" Mombambi grinned. "It's him!"

"A fine speech!" Raventi praised.

Fearful tears leaked from Chopper's eyes, as the animals cheered around him.

-

Elsewhere, the celebration was still going on. When the stone rhinos ran down a hill, the Straw Hats flew off, and landed in the grass, as they stampeded away. Recovering, they looked over the ledge, and were in awe at what was before them: the kingdom! "This place is awesome!" Luffy exclaimed. There was a large tree on the midde of a raised rock, with waterfalls down the sides, and a river on each level. Now in a giant peanut shell-like sled, and wearing a deer disguise, Luffy sailed down one of the vines, with Usopp, donning a lion costume, rode down like it was a zipline. Luffy slid down the question mark-shaped neck of a dark blue bird, and was flicked into a cactus with pink bag-like gondolas; after spinning rapidly, he flew onto a giant caterpillar, and slid down its front, as its legs closed behind him. Cheering, he bounced off of an emu-like bird's leaf-like back, and accidentally crashed into a stack of animals, knocking them down.

"He's at home here," Nami remarked.

"Truly," Sanji agreed.

Usopp was enjoying the area as well, when he noticed that the three were staying put. "I made these fancy suits for us! Aren't you gonna play?"

They were sitting back sulking, while wearing goofy animal costumes. "I don't think so," Panda Sanji refused.

"Why is Venus' outfit more flattering, anyway?!" Monkey Nami interrogated. Bat Venus was pretending to fly, donned in a dark bluish-purple leotard with wings on the undersides of the arms, and black tights. Her denim skirt, and cropped sweatshirt were laid by the trio.

"She let me measure her," Usopp replied, before joining a circular sprint. "This is so fun!"

Just then, some strange, black bison-armadillo hybrids came stampeding in, scaring the animals away. "Horn Eaters!" The parrot exclaimed fearfully.

"What?" Luffy turned to him.

"They attack all animals with horns. They have killed all our elders." Gripping his curled mast, he flew off.

"Then let's get started!" Luffy rolled up his sleeve in determination.

"No, stupid!" Usopp pulled him back, along with Venus. "Let's run!" He hauled them both over his back, and sprinted as fast as he could. "Why are they following me?" He cried.

"They attack all who have horns."

"Horns?" At that, he set Luffy down, and rocketed away with Venus still in tow.

"Usopp!" She scolded.

"Hey! Wait up!" He turned to the bison, who were rapidly approaching. "Go away!" He tore the deer antlers off his hat, and threw them close by... and got trampled.

"Don't throw them in front of you!" Nami reprimanded, as Usopp hid behind the rock she sat on.

-

Elsewhere, Chopper was tending to the animals' injuries, giving medicine with a spoon heated by a campfire. "Don't worry, you'll get better."

"Amazing, Chopper!" Mombambi praised. "We're so glad you're our king."

"I can only be king, as long as I'm here."

"What do you mean?"

"I must return to my pirate ship soon."

"Pirate?" He flinched back. "Are you a... pirate?"

"Yes. It's strange. You're a human living with animals; and I travel with humans." He was oblivious to Mombambi becoming angry. "Where are they?" He wondered aloud. "They should come for me."

Mombambi suddenly threw dirt on the fire, and stomped on the remains, extinguishing it. "Don't leave! You're our king! Forget them!"

"What're you doing?" Chopper pushed him back.

"You can't just leave; you're our friend! Don't be a pirate, stay here!"

"Mombambi... do you hate pirates?"

He hesitated, before caving. "My dad was killed by pirates."

He escorted Chopper to a cabin in the middle of the forest. "What's this?"

The inside was wrecked, and covered in moss and foliage. "The ruins of my dad's ship." He took a locket from his armband, and opened it; it contained a photo of a brunette man wearing glasses. "He was a biologist. But on his way here..." The memory of his father's death, and washing up on Crown Island ran through his mind. "And I got stranded on this island. And our old king, Chimerion, raised me as one of his. I hate pirates!"

"But my friends are nice pirates," Chopper assured.

"There are no nice pirates!"

"But once you meet them... I know! I'll ask Luffy if you can come-"

"I'll never side with a pirate!"

"Mombambi..."

"You can't be with them," He insisted, "You're an animal. You'll be much happier living with us!" Chopper frowned sadly at that.

-

As the bison trampled through the innocent animals, a pale-skinned, red-haired man was playing a violin, donned in a hideous suit. He was with a tan-skinned muscular man with a spiked collar and wristcuffs, and a white braid, and another man with flat, dark blue hair, a sword on his back, and an equally bad suit. As he played, the two men wielded a chain and jagged, two-layered sword, and slashed the horns off of those who had them, before cruelly kicking them into the waterfall. The messenger pig saw everything from hiding in the foliage, and ran off for help.

"Have you seen Chopper? This guy." The disguises now gone, Luffy showed a crude drawing of Chopper on a flat rock slab to a pair of capybaras, but no response. "Not a very good picture, huh?" He made some alterations, but they didn't make it any clearer. "Like this! Have you seen him?"

"I haven't," Usopp replied at the near-unrecognizable picture.

Sanji looked up at a strange noise blaring out. "What's that sound?"

"Humans?" Zoro guessed.

"Let's take a look," Nami proposed.

"Okay," Usopp agreed, and they followed her out.

"What a haul!" The red-haired man cheered at the array of horns before him, some on a nice table. "I drool at the sight of these horns!

"Sir Butler," The muscular man approached him with condiment bottles, "Here's ketchup and mayo."

"Idiot!"

"Huh?"

"Where's the mustard?"

"Here it is." The third man ran over, and they squirted all three condiments on a horn. Satisfied, he chomped the portion off, and chewed obnoxiously. "How is it? Do you feel anything?"

He stretched and flexed, before slumping over. "Nothing. Next!"

Just then, Luffy approached them with his drawing on hand. "Are those bones any good?"

"How dare you barge in!"

"We're looking for this guy."

"Who do you think I am?"

"You better watch your mouths!" The muscular man added.

The swordsman grabbed the handle of his weapon. "Or you'll get what's coming to you."

Redhead tried to punch the drawing, but didn't leave a single dent; instead, his hand throbbed in pain. "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!"

"Are you all right?"

"Take this!"

"I don't want mustard!"

"Then this!"

"No ketchup either!"

The trio froze, then regained their senses. "Now you know how dangerous I am," Redhead taunted. "Do you want to hear more?"

"No thanks," They all refused.

"I see, then I'll tell you all."

"We said no."

"I'm a brilliant inventor, and biologist, and expert treasure hunter. The world's ultra-genius, Baron Butler!"

"World's ultra-genius?!" Luffy gushed.

"And I'm general Hot Dog," The muscular man chimed in, "Strongest in the world."

"Strongest in the world?" Zoro glared.

"Pirates call me Dog the Fierce."

"And I am the most handsome man," The swordsman stepped up, and flipped his hair "Snake!"

"Most handsome man?" Sanji sneered.

"No woman escapes me. I'm the seductive Snake!"

"Here," Usopp tossed a bone, and Hot Dog eagerly gnawed on it; he then tossed a frog soon after, which was caught by Snake. He smirked pridefully, as Venus snickered.

"Don't feed us!"

"Hey, are you looking for the King's Treasure?" Nami asked.

Snake leaped up in front of her with a bow. "Of course, fair lady."

"Ooh, you're so handsome!" Nami gushed. "Tell me about the treasure."

"Of course!" Baron agreed, now holding her hand, as Sanji raged wordlessly. "But on one condition."

"Condition?"

"If you want to know, you must join my crew," Baron clarified.

"That's it? Of course I'll join you!"

"No way!"

Usopp inched closer at the captain's protest. "Luffy, this is our chance to get information!" He whispered.

"You're a baddie, right?"

"Fool!" Baron scolded Luffy. "What makes you think I'm bad?"

"Just a hunch."

"How dare you?!" Baron stopped short when Nami punched Luffy and Usopp to the ground.

"What's the matter?" Usopp muttered.

"Don't mess up my plan!" She whispered. "I'm trying to get hints on the treasure!"

"Why'd you hit me, then?"

"Just play along!"

"You're mad," Baron remarked.

"Sir Butler," Hot Dog sniffed the air, "They smell like dimwits."

"Nut cases," Snake rejoined the two.

"That's too bad. I can't tell dimwits about the treasure."

"Pretty please!" Nami begged.

"My darlings!" Usopp blew a kiss in their direction, and swung his hips, getting a giggle from Venus.

"No way!" Baron shouted, and they slumped down in disappointment. "I can't tell you that whoever finds it, will get power to shake the heavens!" They all gawked at that. "And certainly not that it's the power of a certain animal horn!" They hummed in interest. "And that this violin can control the Horn Eaters..." He gestured to the bison-armadillo hybrids grazing nearby. "That can gather up all horns, so I can investigate them. That, I can never reveal to you, no matter what!"

His confession was followed by several seconds of quiet. "Um-"

"Dammit! I gave away everything!" Baron exclaimed, interrupting Venus.

"How dare you force him to tell?!" Hot Dog scolded.

"Um, he just told us," Sanji pointed out.

"Silence!" Snake continued the reprimanding. "Sir Butler cannot keep secrets."

Baron prepared his violin. "I cannot let you return alive!"

"What's your logic, man?" Usopp gawked.

He began to play some music, catching the bison's attention. "Come, Horn Eaters!" They perked up, and their eyes turned red. "Kill these dimwits!"

As they stampeded in, the crew prepared to attack; Zoro with his swords, Usopp his slingshot, Nami a spare rod (as her Clima-Tact was still on the Merry), Sanji with a raised foot, and Venus with an energy ball between her hands. Baron was getting nervous; why weren't they running away? A determined Luffy regained his footing, and with a battle cry scaring Usopp and Nami, he stretched his arms straight out, and spun around, knocking them all down the edge.

"Why'd you run amok, Luffy?" Usopp shouted angrily.

He crossed his arms with genuine confusion. "No idea."

"You're about as smart," Zoro retorted.

"Really? Thanks!"

"That wasn't a compliment," Sanji drolled.

"It wasn't?"

In the river was crocodiles with zebra stripes, and short yellow manes. "Ahhh!" Usopp screamed at the open jaws waiting for them below. "Crocodiles!"

"Seems like it," Zoro remarked calmly.

"Luffy, do something!" Usopp cried.

"Gum-Gum... Balloon!" Thanks to Luffy's bouncing power knocking them out and away, and quick-thinker Venus keeping him above water like a volleyball player from Zoro's shoulder, they escaped unscathed.

They all sail down the river on a large tree branch after finding it floating astray. "So the treasure is an animal horn?" Nami pouted.

"In West Blue, I heard of a medicine extracted from horns," Sanji said, "It was worth more than gold."

"Almost like a Devil Fruit," Usopp remarked.

"Maybe."

Zoro turned to the bank, and was shocked at what he saw; it appeared to be seriously injured, if not dead animals scattered about. "It's their work."

"Horrible," Usopp breathed.

"Chopper could probably cure them," Sanji pointed out.

At the mention of their doctor, Nami had a realization. "But if they're hunting horns..."

"Chopper's in danger!" Usopp finished fearfully.

"He'll be fine," Luffy assured.

"Eh?"

"He's pretty strong; and tenacious!"

"Is he?" Usopp was doubtful.

"He's one of us. Of course he's strong! Right?"

"Yup, that's right," Zoro agreed with a smirk.

"I agree," Sanji added.

"Are you really sure?" Usopp asked. "Shouldn't we go look for him?"

"Look for him now?" Nami confirmed, before noticing the green parrot flying overhead. "I know! Let's ask the animal king."

"Yeah!" Luffy eagerly hopped on a higher portion of the branch. "Let's go see the king!"

"Right," Usopp agreed.

He stretched his arms up, and hauled himself on the parrot's back, greatly startling him. "What now?"

"Sorry, but we're in a hurry." The crew ran on dry land, so they were right under them. "Take us to the animal king."

"What?"

"Hey! What're you doing?!" Venus exclaimed, when the ram began tugging on one of her high twintails with its teeth. She pulled it back, and rubbed her sore scalp. "My hair's not grass!" She pulled the hood on her sweatshirt over her head for protection.

Nami stepped in when the ram started getting agitated. "If you take us to your king, you get to eat mine." She seated herself on its back, with the guys perching on the furry hippo. "Now go!"

"You're heavy!" The parrot griped. "Get off!"

As they rode away, the villainous trio watched from behind the trees. "It seems they survived," Snake remarked.

"But in return, we got some nice information," Hot Dog smirked.

"Who would've thought they had a king? That king must know where the treasure is," Baron concluded.
