[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 036

Orochimaru hummed an unknown song, shaking the test tube in his hand, and poured the pink liquid from the test tube into the petri dish with satisfaction.

He then went to inspect his cloned organs, checked their quality, and confirmed that there were no problems.

He wiped his hands, turned off the lab lights, changed his clothes, and walked out. He casually picked up the bento Sanji had prepared for him at the door and ate it as he walked.

He pondered how to extract active cells from wood and integrate them into Hashirama cells…

He paced, biting his chopsticks, and walked onto the deck. He looked up at the giant trees and blinked.

“So big.”

Then he saw Usopp and Nami sitting on the deck, hugging their knees and crying. He tilted his head in confusion.

“Usopp, Nami? What’s wrong?”

“Orochimaru!!! It’s all up to you, on this island there are…” The two cried, hugging Orochimaru’s legs one on each side. Just as they were about to say something, they screamed as they saw the giant shadow behind Orochimaru.

“Giants!!!!!” The two clung tightly to Orochimaru, trembling.

Orochimaru was speechless… He tried to push their heads… Don’t stick so close, “Don’t be so scared… I’ll protect you… And giants should be a peace-loving race? Right… probably.”

Orochimaru’s voice was a bit uncertain.

The two, who had initially heard about peace-loving spirits, became teary-eyed again. As the giant approached, tears gushed out.

“That’s why Luffy shouldn’t have destroyed that Log Pose, wuwuwuwuwu… will we be eaten?”

Usopp, on the side, trembled, kneeling on the ground, looking at the giant in front of him as if he had been scared silly.

The giant laughed and approached.

“Hahahahaha… So, what do you think?”

“What do you mean… Orochimaru?” Nami and Usopp clung tightly to Orochimaru, not letting go.

“He’s asking if we have any alcohol.” Orochimaru tried to break free, pressing one hand on each person’s head, trying to pull himself out.

Nami nodded quickly, “Yes, there’s still some.”

“Ah!!!” The giant suddenly screamed. Nami screamed in fright and tightened her grip on Orochimaru.

The giant turned and saw a dinosaur biting his butt. He turned and chopped off the dinosaur’s head with an axe.

Nami and Usopp hugged each other, crying in fear… Tears streamed down their faces. Orochimaru’s clothes were soaked with tears, and he wanted to cry too…

“I am Brogy, the strongest warrior of Elbaf village! Kabababa!” Brogy laughed, holding up the dinosaur head.

“We have meat now. Let me entertain you today, guests!”

“Alright,” Orochimaru agreed with a nod.

Nami and Usopp shook their heads frantically, “No, no, no!”

“Then I’ll go by myself, you two take care of the house…” Orochimaru was very interested in the giants and wanted to steal their cells.

Orochimaru moved forward with difficulty, his two legs being held by Nami and Usopp, one on each side.

“Respected Orochimaru-sama, don’t leave us behind.”

The three finally sat beside the giant, watching him busy himself, roasting dinosaur meat over a bonfire, provided there weren’t piles of skeletons nearby. Orochimaru’s arms were tightly held by the two.

“…By the way… can you two let go a bit… I can’t eat the meat.”

Nami choked, her face covered in tears like wide noodles, “Orochimaru… are you sure he won’t eat us after we’re full?”

Orochimaru struggled to bring his hands together, forming a hand seal for a Shadow Clone with difficulty. Then, he let the two hold him, and had the Shadow Clone feed him dinosaur meat.

“So, are you sure you don’t want to try dinosaur meat?”

Shadow Clone No. 2 fed Nami a small piece. Nami chewed while crying, “…Wuwuwu… it’s delicious.”

As for Usopp, who cared about him!

The volcano suddenly erupted, and Brogy stood up.

“Excuse me, I have to leave for a moment. This is a duel signal that has lasted for a hundred years.”

Usopp, hearing this topic, was no longer afraid. He stood up, “With whom? Where? What’s the reason?”

“The reason, well, I forgot, kabababa, the eruption of the volcano in the very center is our duel signal.”

Brogy turned and strode away. Then, a violent shockwave vibrated throughout the entire Ancient Island.

Usopp looked up at the two giants, his face full of admiration.

“How amazing, fighting like this even without a reason.

This is a true battle between men, a warrior’s glorious duel.

This is the brave sea warrior I aspire to be, I want to become a man with such a noble sense of honor.”

Nami didn’t quite understand, but she wasn’t as scared anymore. The three of them leaned back, watching the duel and eating the roasted meat fed to them by Orochimaru’s clone (Usopp ate by himself, a grievance from Usopp).

“If there’s a village of such warriors, I really want to visit it someday, right Orochimaru?”

In the end, the two giants fought to a draw and returned. Usopp and Brogy talked about their aspirations, wanting to become brave sea warriors who could fight for honor like them.

“We, because our lifespan is longer than yours, have to consider more how to die.

After all, property and life are things that will eventually disappear.

However, if one can die with the honor of an Elbaf warrior, that is a glorious death, and this honor will be passed down in Elbaf.”

Usopp’s eyes were filled with respect.

Orochimaru’s face was a bit grim. He silently walked away alone. He respected this way of thinking, but he didn’t agree with it. Such foolish thoughts were like the old man of the Third, saying that where the leaves flutter, the fire will continue to burn. Once dead, there’s nothing left.

He wandered aimlessly in the forest, collecting some unfamiliar herbaceous plants.

He leisurely strolled and gathered, not knowing how much time had passed. He pushed aside the bushes blocking his way and saw Zoro, Nami, and their client posing on a large cake. Was this some kind of performance art?

“Excuse me…” Orochimaru’s expression was complex as he retreated.

“Come back!!!” Nami had a shark face.

“Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!” Orochimaru exhaled a thin, line-like pillar of fire in mid-air, which extended in a circle around the trio’s feet until the wax melted.

“Just kidding, how could I abandon you?” He scanned the area, seeing Luffy drinking tea with a little girl, but with a ferocious expression. He directly knocked out the little girl opposite him, and a Water Style jutsu blurred the paint on Luffy’s back.

Orochimaru treated Zoro’s leg while examining his body, “I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going to check on those two giants.”

As expected, without restraint, dealing with these three small fry was effortless. The battle ended as soon as Orochimaru melted the wax off the giants.

The awakened Brogy looked at the fallen Dorry, crying loudly in pain, like a waterfall, even creating a rainbow in the sunlight.

Orochimaru was forced to take a tear bath.

“Hey! Stop crying, he’s not dead!” No one paid attention… The giant crying drowned out Orochimaru’s voice.

“Hey!!”#

“Wuwuwuwuwu!… Dorry!”

Exasperated, Orochimaru directly pulled out a speaker.

“Shut up! He’s not dead!!!”
