127. Alubarna

Caroo was excited and started to change into something else. A dazzling light reflected off of Caroo's body, and the yellow duck quickly transformed into a massive green body that stretched 10 feet. Tornadus' Theran incarnation, which had a green body, was a very different form than its's genie form.

After the transformation, Caroo no longer resembled its former self at all. In appearance, he was more imposing and godlike. The Caroo was so overjoyed that it cried and took flight after spreading its feathers. The resulting wind was so strong that people had to cling to their surroundings in order to avoid being swept away.

When Luffy stared at Caroo with his meat eyes, a broad grin spread across everyone's features. The thought of eating Caroo had already crossed his mind. Ussop inevitably intervened to smack some sense into him. As soon as Caroo had finished his aerial explorations, he landed and resumed his human normal duck shape.

"Sugee Caroo. You are amazing." Vivi stated while cuddling up to him. As a group, they all came to congratulate Caroo.

"Banchi time has come." Ken said. In unison, they nodded, and then returned to the system space. Upon seeing Caroo, Banchi's eyes glowed with excitement. Its entire existence had been spent in the shadows, but now it had a chance to alter its course. Indeed, it beamed with enthusiasm.

Banchi is trying to act like a character.

Simulating..

Choosen character..

In contrast to Ken's simple hamburgers, Luffy dug into a meat sandwich. Everyone enjoyed the burgers that he had trained Sanji to make. While staring out the window, Ken took a bite out of his burger. It was as though he were back in an aeroplane, though this time it was flying much lower to the ground than in his reality.

"What's on your mind?" As Ken appeared to be lost in contemplation for a moment, Nami couldn't resist asking.

"It would have been nice if the people were connected to each other and moved around more often instead of living their whole lives on an island."

"Hmm.. They use ships to get anywhere." In addition to Robin, many people didn't understand what Ken was talking about.

"No.. They just aren't linked properly. Days of sailing are required to reach the next island, assuming they are successful. They have to resort to the archaic practise of calling in den den mushi. You have witnessed Vivi's world, and you know how far ahead of its time it is. This planet needs advanced gadgets and widespread communication just as much as any other." Ken said.

After witnessing Vivi's home, everyone fell silent. There was only one big problem in that world, and it was that some bad people were in charge of the quirks. Other than that, though, the people were happy and the government worked well. In spite of its flaws, it was an improvement over their current situation.

Though she had forgotten much of it and was too young to to understand, Vivi knew that these wealthy kings never cared to care about their peasants because she had gone to Reverie for the conference herself. There were not many kings as good as his dad, and he tried his best.

"What are our options?" Zoro asked, his eyes closed and his scarlet blade clutched tightly in his hands.

"Not right now, but maybe we can do something about it in the future." Ken said. After nearly an hour in the air, the massive city built high above the land appeared on the horizon below them. Indeed, Alubarna was a fascinating city in its own right. It was extremely difficult to conquer the city since it was elevated a few feet off the ground and the only way in was via the meandering staircases that connected its many stories.

Vivi was thrilled to be returning to his hometown, but she soon realised that this trip to the capital city might be her last for a very long time.
