Chapter 122 A New Agreement!
Picking up where we left off, Luffy and his crew, having just entered the Grand Line, encountered a giant creature blocking their path. Just when it seemed their ship was about to be destroyed and everyone on board was about to perish, Goten decisively stepped forward, immediately standing in front of the ship and unleashing a shockwave to slow them down, thus preventing the crew from dying before they even got off to a successful mission...
However, the next second, the giant food suddenly began to dive into the sea, and when it resurfaced, it opened its blood-red maw and was about to swallow the Going Merry whole. Seeing this, Goten decisively left the Going Merry and said to Luffy and the others, "Take care, everyone. I'm going now. I'll cherish the time I spent with you. Bye-bye!"
After saying that, Goten immediately flew away alone. Seeing this, the people on the Going Merry immediately roared, "Idiot, take us with you! How dare you run away alone! Come back!"
After they were swallowed by the giant creature, Goten realized that the giant creature was actually a huge whale. Watching it dive into the sea, Goten immediately followed it into the ocean, only to find that the whale was repeatedly ramming its head against the Red Line...
Curious about the whale's perplexing behavior, Goten noticed that there was actually a door on the whale's back. So he fired an energy blast, attracting the whale to leap out of the water, and quickly slipped through the door.
After Goten entered the whale's body, he walked straight through the passage and found a blue-haired beauty and a bearded man wearing a crown in front of him. Just as he was about to go up and talk to them, the whale suddenly went berserk, causing Goten and the two of them to fall directly into the interior.
Upon entering the whale's stomach acid, Goten immediately grabbed the two people from before and floated them in the air. However, before Goten could think, a familiar voice came from afar—"Goten, you finally knew to come and save us!"
Goten turned his head and saw the Going Merry not far away. He then led the two people he was carrying to Luffy and the others, put them on the Going Merry, and said with surprise, "I didn't expect you to still be alive. This is really unexpected..."
Goten's words instantly ignited the anger of the others on the ship, and the next second Goten was beaten into a pulp. Then, the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Crocus who knew about whales, arrived outside the whale.
Once outside, Crocus began to tell everyone the story of the whale—"This whale is called Laboon. It once made a promise with someone that it would wait here for them to circumnavigate the Grand Line once, and then they would go on an adventure together again."
Crocus continued, "However, a long time passed after that, and there was still no news of them. In order to find them, I boarded Roger's ship, but after circumnavigating the globe, I still couldn't find any trace of them, so I assumed they were all dead. But when I brought the news to Laboon, it couldn't accept it and started crashing into the Red Line incessantly..."
Upon hearing this, Wutian asked, "Have you found those people's bodies?"
Crocus replied, "No, but if they were still alive, there's no way they wouldn't have left without a trace, so..."
After Wutian understood, he couldn't help but sneer, "So you gave that guy inaccurate information without being sure. No wonder it hurt itself. How could it continue to live like nothing happened when it lost hope and had no reason to wait?"
Crocus retorted, "What do you know, brat? Do you think I make such a decision so easily? Don't underestimate me, you idiot. I followed the former Pirate King and completed the feat of circumnavigating the Grand Line. Besides, 50 years have passed since then, so..."
Seeing this, Goten interrupted, "What does that have to do with me? But speaking of which, our captain has already started to move, look over there..."
Crocus turned around upon hearing this and saw Luffy grabbing the mast of the Going Merry and quickly stabbing it into Laboon the whale. Enraged, Laboon slammed Luffy against the mountain wall. As soon as Luffy got up, he immediately fired another shot at Laboon with his pistol...
This completely ignited Laboon's fighting spirit, and he knocked Luffy away again. Just as Laboon was about to continue his attack, Luffy stopped him, saying seriously, "Let's call this duel a draw. We'll settle things once I've circled the Grand Line and come back. Until then, you'd better stay put!"
After Luffy drew the Straw Hat Pirates' symbol on Laboon the whale, Laboon finally understood Luffy's thoughts and was moved to tears. Thus, Laboon the whale had a new target to wait for and finally calmed down...

After resolving Laboon's situation, Usopp and Goten began repairing the Going Merry's mast. Meanwhile, Nami learned from Crocus that a more sensitive Log Pose was needed on the Grand Line, and Crocus generously gave Nami his own Log Pose.
Nami was about to thank Crocus for the Log Pose when Sanji kicked Luffy away because Luffy had stolen the food he had carefully prepared for Nami, accidentally shattering the Log Pose in Nami's hand...
Nami was stunned for a moment, and Sanji and Luffy were soon given a "love lesson" by Nami. Just when Nami was at a loss.
At this moment, the two people Goten brought to the boat suddenly jumped out and volunteered. They introduced themselves and said, "Do you need the Log Pose? If you can give us a ride, Mrs. Wednesday and Mr. 9 will give you the Log Pose, and we will treat you to a good meal when we reach our destination!"
Nami couldn't help but think upon hearing this. These two guys didn't seem like good people. However, at that moment, Sanji had already arrived at Mrs. Wednesday's side, presenting her with a beautifully prepared bento box and beginning to ingratiate himself with her...
Just then, Usopp and Goten, who had just finished repairing the mast, arrived. Upon seeing this, Nami immediately began voting: "Then let's vote on whether you two should join the crew."
Luffy: "Sure!"
Zoro: "No need!"
Sanji: "Beautiful women are fine, but men are out of the question!"
Usopp: "It wouldn't be a problem to bring them along, would it..."
Goten: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if we lose two of them. Besides, it's just a short trip, and we can get another Log Pose in return. Aren't we still the ones who profit?"
So, after some discussion, the Straw Hat Pirates embarked on a new journey with the couple...
However, what they didn't know was that they were about to face a huge conspiracy...
