Chapter 179 - 179: A Legendary Figure!!

The poor whale in front of them got r.a.p.ed by a few waves of Haki making it slowly back away...

A few seconds ago, Luffy and the rest were having heart attacks while Luffy started laughing before an eerie feeling washed everyone as they passed out...

Surprisingly however Luffy managed to keep standing...

Luffy : W-what was that??

Luffy : Oi, is everyone alright??

Seeing that no one answered him he turned back from where he was sitting and saw everyone passed out much to his horror as he thought that someone attacked them...

Luffy : Zoro!! Sanji!! Usopp!! Nami!!!

Luffy : Who did this!! Come out!!!

As Luffy was raging his ship finally saw a bit of light and not knowing what it was he wrapped everyone with his hands and feet and held through the mast...

However, what Luffy saw was a clear sky with a small island floating there and a middle-aged man having come out in a hurry...

His appearance based on the flower with the same name, as seen with the petals around his head.

He has a rather stocky and muscular body, is bald on the top of his head, but with white hair with yellow flower petal-like things, that have purple near the bottom of them, and a white beard that splits into two parts.

He wears a pink shirt with a yellow and green stripe with purple circles in the yellow along with blueish-grey shorts with sandals. He also wears glasses, a seaweed necklace, three gold bracelets, and a green-gem bracelet on his left wrist. He also has a scar on his left arm.

He looked around the place and spotted Luffy's ship before continue looking around...

He had personally built this interior which contains a complex network of metal chambers and tunnels, installed to deal with his habit of swallowing sh.i.p.s that challenge or annoy him.

The largest of these chambers, built into his stomach, can receive newly-swallowed sh.i.p.s from his esophagus and allow them to leave through a set of gates leading to his blowhole; it also holds an artificial island with a cabin for Crocus to "vacation" in.

This chamber is "painted" with an unknown material that not only resembles the daytime sky complete with clouds but apparently produces its own light.

Seeing that the kid who was yelling at him while looking as if he was about to punch him wasn't someone who possess Haki and finding nothing about it...

He almost returned inside...

Luffy : Don't IGNORE ME!!!

His hand suddenly stretched and caught on the house of the figure living here while Luffy launched himself and tried to hit the Old Man only for Luffy to eat a foot in his face...

Luffy : Were you the one who made that eerie feeling earlier and attacked my friends!!

The figure was stunned as that feeling was Haki and this kid resisted it??

However before he could answer, another wave started hitting the whale in order to make it stop moving and also notify the person inside...

Luffy tried to resist it again by clenching his head and managed to do so once again shocking the Old Man...

??? : It seems this feeling is coming from the outside...

??? : Come lets bring your friends and those two outside...

Luffy was still dizzy but when he heard that they would escape here he suddenly took a 180 decree change that the Old Man was a good guy...

Luffy but then he was confused about which two guys they should bring along??

But as thinking wasn't his forte he followed the old man and saved two people from getting drowned as they had passed out and went to his ship...
