At the Windmill Village dock, Xia Yu boarded his ship after bidding farewell to Machino and Village Chief Uph, among others.
"Mr. Xia Yu, please take care of yourself!"
Watching the figure on the deck, Village Chief Uph took a step forward and said with rare emotion, "If your travels tire you, come to Windmill Village. Windmill Village will always welcome you!"
"Alright!"
Xia Yu turned back to look at Village Chief Uph and Machino standing on the dock, smiling slightly, "Go back, we'll meet again someday... hey, wait!"
As he spoke, Xia Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.
Because on the deck, besides the Green Rabbit who was fast asleep, there was also a strange fellow.
This strange fellow was none other than Luffy, the goofy goose. During the feast, he was the one who ate and drank the most. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he had devoured a third of that near-sea king!
Seeing the goofy goose sleeping in an embrace with the Green Rabbit, Xia Yu didn't hesitate for a moment, and picked him up like a little chick and tossed him onto the dock.
He didn't want to have any more contact with Luffy, the goofy goose!
As the destined protagonist of the Pirate World, though he currently seemed harmless, three years later when he set sail, this fellow would be a nuisance. Trouble would follow him wherever he went.
If he were entangled in this fellow's karma, his journey would surely be affected.
The sleeping Luffy drew an arc in the air before landing softly at Village Chief Uph's feet.
Surprisingly, Luffy didn't crash heavily to the ground. He landed lightly, as if he were a feather!
"Take care, everyone!"
Before Village Chief Uph and Machino could react, Xia Yu waved his hand, then grabbed the Green Rabbit and went into the cabin.
Meanwhile.
Goa Kingdom.
Central Street.
Red Rabbit, having forcibly broken through the city gates, came to a shoe store.
Looking at the wide variety of shoes in the store, Red Rabbit instantly became a lovestruck fool, his gaze fixated on a pair of red canvas shoes. He couldn't tear his eyes away.
"I can see you're happy!"
Big Brother Ertong, who followed beside Red Rabbit, lazily raised his head and said unhurriedly, "You caused such a ruckus just for these canvas shoes?"
Red Rabbit didn't answer, his eyes glued to the canvas shoes in the store, as if he were under a spell.
At this moment.
"Red Rabbit, Du Pigou!"
"Damn it, they're here!"
"Hurry, hurry, surround them!"
Accompanied by voices coming from behind the rabbit and dog, the Goa Kingdom soldiers who had been relentlessly pursuing them swarmed in.
Soon, the street was surrounded by soldiers, three layers deep.
The soldiers leading the charge were the first to disperse around the shoe store door, watching Red Rabbit and Du Pigou with vigilance, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Following, the soldiers surrounding the street suddenly made way, and then it was Seymen, the kingdom's guard captain, accompanied by two deputy officers, who quickly approached the shoe store.
"Captain Seymen!"
Upon seeing Seymen appear, one of the soldiers guarding the shoe store door quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Seymen stared at Red Rabbit and Ertong, and said in a deep voice, "Is it them?"
"Yes!"
The soldier nodded fiercely, suppressing the fear in his heart, trembling and said, "That red rabbit is too strong, we can't… we can't stop it!"
"Useless!"
Seymen glared at the soldier, snatched the rifle from his hand, and aimed it at Red Rabbit, saying in a deep voice, "Rabbit, you are surrounded, surrender... Wait, why am I talking to a rabbit?"
Before he finished speaking, Seymen no longer hesitated, and his finger pulled the trigger decisively.
The moment he pulled the trigger, Red Rabbit suddenly turned his head.
Bang——
A crisp gunshot rang out, and the bullet instantly struck Red Rabbit's forehead, which had just turned.
However, the scene of blood splattering didn't occur as expected.
The whizzing bullet didn't pierce Red Rabbit's head, but instead, it strangely embedded itself in his forehead, like an oversized cinnabar mole.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the bullets truly could not harm Red Rabbit, Seymen couldn't help but curse, then quickly commanded, "What are you all standing there for, shoot, shoot quickly!"
With Seymen's command, the soldiers surrounding the shoe store door almost simultaneously pulled their triggers.
In an instant, the ear-piercing gunshots merged into one, and the whizzing bullets instantly enveloped Red Rabbit like a violent storm.
As the gunshots rang out, Ertong, who had been standing with Red Rabbit, suddenly stepped forward, gracefully dodging each bullet amidst the hail of gunfire.
Red Rabbit didn't dodge, but stood in place, letting the whizzing bullets all strike him.
In the blink of an eye, countless bullets were embedded in his body.
