Chapter 126

Time passed quickly. After Luffy and Zoro had a simple meal in the town, the two of them gave Koby a brief beating to make it clear that the three of them were not allies on the same side. They then left him near the town's Marines and sailed away, their small boat moving leisurely across the ocean toward the next town. As luck would have it, a gust of ocean wind blew up, carrying Luffy's straw hat into the sky, where it was snatched by a giant bird. Seeing his precious hat grabbed, Luffy immediately stretched out his arm to catch the giant bird in the sky, and then... And then Luffy was dragged along by the giant bird, flying toward the next town. Out on the sea, Zoro was stunned by his captain's bizarre behavior, then frantically waved his arms to row the oars, chasing rapidly across the water. Perhaps because he now had a destination, Zoro remarkably did not head in the wrong direction.
