Ten Days Ago

Color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in a straw hat, blue shirt, and shorts with a large blue backpack, swinging on a vine while riding a striped tiger through a dense jungle. Sunlight beams through the trees near a tall waterfall. To the right stands a smiling woman with long dark hair wearing a pink hooded jacket with fur trim. Other figures including a swordsman and a small person are visible in the midground foliage. A black notice box on the right reads 'NOTICE: You can read this chapter and more at the source in its original high quality www.mangastream.com DO NOT REHOST THIS CHAPTER. PLEASE DON'T SUPPORT WEBSITES THAT DO, CONSIDER BUYING THE OFFICIAL VOLUMES WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION.'

Luffy yells while tangled, 'I'M NOT YER PERSONAL JUNGLE GYM!!!' A voice snaps back, 'GET THE HELL OFF'A ME DAMNIT!!!' Someone offers, 'TRY SOME OF OUR FAMOUS "MONKEY WINE"... MADE FROM THE FRUITS OF THE BEAUTIFUL FOREST.' A sign reads '[ZOU] [RIGHT BELLY FORT]'. In a wide landscape, a voice notes '...THAT'S AS MUCH AS WE CAN HANDLE TODAY. PANT... PANT...' Another replies 'MMM... LET'S CONTINUE TOMORROW.' A boat sails near the elephant leg as text states 'NOW THAT THE CREW HAS FINALLY REUNITED, WHAT AWAITS THEM...I!' At a massive feast, Luffy screams 'AHHHHH HHHHHH HHH...!!! PANT... PANT...' while a mink asks 'YUUUUU LUUUMMM!! WHAT KINDA MEAT IS THIS ANYWAYSI' A voice explains '*TO US, "MINKSHIP"* IS HOW WE SHOW OUR FRIENDSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER.' Another says 'PLEASE, TRY AND LOOK PAST WHAT CULTURE DIFFERENCES WE MAY HAVE.' A large panda mink shouts 'LOOK AT EVERYTHING THESE PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN US!! YOU'RE BEING TOTALLY RUDE!!' Zoro is told 'HEY, HEY, NO NEED TO GET SO RILED UP, ZORO!! LICK THIS, YOU GODDAMNED CREEPS!!' Luffy reacts 'EHHHHHI! C'MON, DON'T BE LIKE THAT!!!' A voice lists 'HRMM... HIPPO, LIZARD, CROCODILE, AND FROG... WE WON'T EAT ANYTHING WITH FUR ON IT.' Multiple minks urge 'C'MON, JUST A LITTLE GARCHUU!!' and 'JUST A LITTLE GLOMPY-GLOMP!!!'

Brook stands dramatically with his cane raised, a giant skull behind him, declaring 'THE RELIEF!!! I READ THE NEWSPAPER!! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ALL OKAY!!!!' Luffy, covered in bandages and wearing his hat, kneels and cries out 'LUFFY-SAAAAAAN!! I'M SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SANJI-SAN!!! I DON'T EVEN THINK I CAN FACE YOU RIGHT NOW!!' Brook retorts 'BROOK-!!! WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU GOT THE CRAP BEAT OUTTA YAI!' Luffy adds 'THOUGH... I GUESS I DON'T HAVE A FACE TO BEGIN WITH!!' In a smaller panel a voice says 'YES... OF COURSE, HE'S FINE... BUT HE REALLY DOESN'T DO WELL WITH THE MINKS...' Another asks 'HUHI! WEREN'T YOU TOGETHER WITH MOMOI' Large sound effect 'ドドーン!!' erupts as Brook reacts with 'HAAH... HAAH...'.

Brook grins at the group and says, "YOU'RE LOOKIN' ALIVE AND WELL, BROOK!!" A voice replies, "IF I COULD HAVE ALL YOU NEWCOMERS TO ZOU GATHER AROUND!!" Someone notes, "...BUT PERHAPS THIS IS FOR THE BEST. HE'S LOCKED HIMSELF UP IN HIS ROOM AND REFUSES TO COME OUT." The group discusses avoiding the words "samurai" or "Wano Kingdom" to prevent stirring old wounds. A mink states, "HRMM... HE SHOULD HAVE REACHED US BY NOW....WHERE IS KINEMON-SAN RIGHT NOW...I" Suddenly a female mink points and shouts, "YOUR COMRADE'S CORPSE IS THERE!! GO TO THE RIGHT BELLY FOREST!!" The others react in shock: "...CORPSE...I!" "GASP!! WE'VE FOUND YOU...!! BARON CORPSE!!" and "WHY 'SAMURAI'I" One mink adds, "...WELL, THE THING IS... THIS COUNTRY..."

The mink explains, "WE 'CANINE MINKS' JUST ADO~RE BONES" with a heart symbol while another notes they were shocked by such beings. Nami reacts with surprise as the mink says, "SO THAT'S WHAT SHE MEANT BY OUR COMRADE'S CORPSE!!" Nami then yells, "ANYWAYS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT SANJI-KUNI!" The group discusses the bear forest and Law's whereabouts. A large mink growls, "WOULD THE TWO OF YOU PLEASE TREAT THIS WITH A GREATER SENSE OF URGENCY!!!" while Luffy and Zoro listen tensely.

The mink continues explaining their confusion upon arrival, saying the minks were unexpectedly hospitable. Usopp adds, "I'M SOOORRY!! THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO!!!" Law recounts, "TRUTH BE TOLD, WE ARRIVED HERE THINKING THE MINKS WOULD BE HOSTILE... BUT... THEY'VE ENDED UP BEING EXTREMELY HOSPITABLE AND FRIENDLY. FULL OF ANIMALS THAT CAN TALK!!" He recalls the ruined city on Zunesha's back and their prior meeting with the Straw Hats on Big Mom's ship. Nami, with a serious expression, asks, "...COULD YOU PLEASE JUST TELL US THE ENTIRE STORY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, NAMII"

Nami begins recounting the events: "SO THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED..." The crew reacts with shock and tears. Luffy shouts, "YOU GUYS ALL HEAD OFF TO [ZOU] FIRST!! SANJI!! NAMI!! CHOPPER!! BROOK!! MOMO!!" He recalls running into trouble near Dressrosa. A massive ship appears with the caption "THE 'SINGING SHIP'....!!" and "THE GIGANTIC FLAGSHIP OF THE [BIG MOM PIRATES]..." as the vessel sails with musical notes and the label "SINGING~I!"

Capone Gang Bege sits with a cigar, recounting events. "Someone from the worst generation, 'Capone Gang' Bege" and "...and... BegeI! Apparently they've teamed up with Big Mom." The group discusses the duo Luffy met on Fishman Island. "The duo that Luffy met back on Fishman Island... From what we could tell, their forces included... GaOo!!" Bege declares, "Sink 'em Soir!!!" The scene shifts to chaos on the sea as someone screams, "Heeey!! Help meeee~!!!" The narration continues: "He was originally after Caesar... which made Caesar all the more fearful of getting captured..." The crew debates their options. "So if we didn't do something, it was only a matter of time before they got to us." "But to be honest, we would never have been able to outrun someone like them..." Usopp panics while Franky and the others prepare the ship. "We'll fight on the stern and create an opening!!" "You idiot!! This is not the situation to be turning around and facing them head on!!!" "However, I do know how to fire the 'Gaon Cannon'!!!" "Let's use 'Coup de Burst' and burst our way to freedom!!" But Franky and Usopp aren't here, leaving the crew without a clear plan.

Explosions rock the area with SFX "バキィィーン!!" and debris flying. Sanji launches into action as a voice calls, "He's all yours, Sanji~!!!" A massive spectral attack erupts. "'Soul Parade*!!!'" with a translator note on French pronunciation. The attacker boasts, "Using me in all my glory as just some sack!!! If you don't do what we say, we'll leave you to fend for yourself." Sanji counters with a powerful frying-pan strike. "Doo-hooo!! I'll remember this, you bastards!!!" The clash intensifies with "'Spectre'!!!" and "'Poêle à Frire'" frying-pan frying spectrum SFX, sending the enemy flying amid "GYAA AA~!!!" and impact bursts.

A massive explosion erupts on the starboard side of the ship with SFX "ドゴォッ" and "ビキィィ". Big Mom's ship looms as the crew reacts in shock. "OH NO!! GAOOO!!!" "IT'S A COUNTER-ATTACK-BON!!!" "HOW ARE THEY FLYINGI!" The narration states, "The starboard side of the ship has sustained damage!!!" Below deck, confusion reigns. "AND WHAT'S WITH ALL THAT MIST AND FOG!!! I'VE LOST SIGHT OF OUR ENEMY!!" "WHY IS THE WEATHER CHANGING ONLY AROUND THEMI" Nami appears, raising her staff and shouting attacks: "'Rain Tempo'!!!" "Hatch! Rain Clouds!!!" "'Weather Egg'!!"

The crew celebrates their narrow escape on the deck of the ship. Nami smiles and says, "Awww, we didn't do anything that special ♡" while others cheer, "What a white-knuckle thrill!!" "You guys were awesome!!!" "WHOAA AAAA~!!!" and "Yeah, I'm not flattered at all, you jerks ♡" The scene shifts to a later discussion on Zou. A mink recounts, "The city at the center of Zou had traces of even older damage... But from what I could see..." Nami continues, "We reached it the very next day... Apparently we were already pretty close to it." "So then that was 10 days ago!!!" The group reflects: "...So after that, how many days did it take..." "We can't call it anything short of a miracle...!!!" "But for Nami and the others to have arrived here that day..." "...!!! That's exactly right... This country was already in ruins 10 days ago." "At least 2 weeks must have passed since it occurred." "If it weren't for her courage and Chopper's medicine and training..."

A female mink with a headband speaks gravely: "AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO STOP IT...!!!" and "EVERYONE IN OUR MOKOMO DUKEDOM WOULD HAVE DIED..." An older mink reacts with shock. The Duke Inuarashi, bandaged and seen from behind, reassures them: "...IT'S OKAY, WE'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING. YOU ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW." and "...YOUR WOUNDS HAVEN'T COMPLETELY HEALED YET, WHICH MEANS THEY MUST BE RECENT. ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT..." In the next scene the Duke awakens fully. Excited minks including a zebra-like figure and a blonde girl cry out: "I DIDN'T THINK HE'D EVER WAKE UP...!!!" "WHATI!!! REALLYI! HOW SPLENDID!!!" "AFTER ALL HE'S GONE THROUGH... I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WAS ON HIM...!!!" The Duke shouts "HAAH HAAH" as he rises, and a voice announces "THE DUKE HAS AWAKENED!!!" Luffy stands nearby looking surprised as someone yells "EVERYONE...!!!"

Chopper bounces excitedly with Law: "YES, RIGHT AWAY!!! THIS WILL BE ANOTHER GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE!!!" "THAT'S GREAT!! I'M GOING TO GO CHECK UP ON HIM RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!" Miyagi warns "MIYAGI-SENSEI... YOU ARE SHOWING A BIT TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM THERE..." In the next area a mink explains "HE WOULD LOVE TO MEET OUR SAVIORS...!!!" while Duke Inuarashi sends word. Luffy reacts with "HRMMMI" Wanda calls out. The group discusses: "YEAH, IT'S GREAT AND ALL... BUT WHO'S THIS INUARASHI GUYI" "THAT'S GREAT, ISN'T IT, WANDA!!" "WOULD YOU MIND COMING WITH USI" A tearful mink replies "...YES, IMMEDIATELY!" and thinks "I'M SO GLAD... TRULY I AM..."

Luffy learns the history: "THIS COUNTRY HAS TWO KINGS." "HE FELL INTO A COMA ALONG WITH IT AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY EVER SINCE...!!!" "HE'S THIS COUNTRY'S KING... WHEN THE CITY WAS DESTROYED..." "HE'S THE DUKE OF OUR MOKOMO DUKEDOM... IN OTHER WORDS..." The scene shifts to the Whale Forest where narration states "WHALE FOREST..." and explains the dual rulers: "AND THE KING OF NIGHT, [MASTER NEKOMAMUSHI]..." "THE KING OF DAY, [DUKE INUARASHI]..." A mink shouts "THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE... TO THINK YOU REALLY DEFEATED DOFLAMINGO!!!" while another notes the setting sun and asks if the saviors have arrived. A figure in a cloak says "THAT WAS ALL MUGIWARA-YA'S DOING." The group hurries into the forest: "WE'VE GOT A LOT CATCH UP ON, SO LET'S HEAD DEEPER INTO THE FOREST!!!"

Luffy looks out over Right Belly Fort as narration recalls "17 DAYS AGO, TO BE PRECISE." and "IT HAPPENED HALF A MONTH AGO..." A mink recounts: "[VISTOR BELLS] RANG OUT ACROSS OUR MOKOMO DUKEDOM..." Another mink explains "ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF SINCE BEPO AND HIS CREWMATES ARRIVED..." The raid is remembered: "IT WAS THE [RAID BELL]...!!!" "THEY TORE THROUGH OUR FOREST AND MARCHED ONWARDS, ADVANCING ON OUR PEACEFUL CITY!!" A female mink's face fills the panel as she recalls the terror. A helmeted mink adds "HOWEVER, THEY WEREN'T THE ONE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE RUNG AT ALL..." with SFX "GULP" and "!!!"

A fierce mink warrior glares and questions, "IF A FIERCE-SOME ENEMY COMES DEMANDING US SOMETHING WE DO NOT POSSESS... HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GIVE IT TO THEMI" Another voice replies, "I ASK YOU THIS...." The massive elephant Zunesha rears amid crashing debris as heavy rumblings shake the ground. Narration explains the tremors: "WITH THE UNUSUAL HEAVY RUMBLINGS REVERBERATING... THROUGH THE GROUND, 'ZUNISHA' ROARED OUT....!!!" A note clarifies, "T/N: RAI MEANS LIGHTNING. ZOU IS THE WRITTEN IN KANA, BUT MEANS ELEPHANT." The towering mammoth-like form of Zunesha looms over the ruined city as a voice commands, "THE WARRIOR OF WANO KINGDOM, 'RAIZOU'....!!! NOW THEN... BRING HIM FORWARD! WE KNOW HE'S HERE..." Below, mink warriors including a deer-like figure and a bull-like figure charge forward. Text reads, "TRAMPLING FORTH IS AN OVERWHELMING 'GIANT EVIL'!!!" The group reacts in shock with "!!I" as they confront the massive intruder.
