Chapter 279 The Ball Trial

After a "jumping machine" experience, Luffy and the others landed "smoothly" and officially arrived at the ball trial venue.

"But where is this place?"

Sanji asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

""ball"!"

Luffy said excitedly.

I saw countless white balls floating on the Cloud River and the forest in front of me.

"It turned out to be a small Shimagumo's 'ball'."

"Is this why it's called the Trial of the Ball?"

Sanji guessed.

"Hahaha, that's great! It's like snowflakes that have grown bigger."

It fits Luffy's brain circuit.

Usopp just wanted to get out of here.

"The 'Cloud River' passes between the trees, can we just follow it?"

"What kind of trial is this?"

Luffy looked at the many balls in confusion.

"Who knows, it would be best if there was nothing, but it's unlikely."

Sanji replied, both dreamy and aware of reality.

"Could it be that we are on the right path? If we had chosen another cave entrance, it would have been miserable right now."

Luffy guessed, naive.

But suddenly he contradicted himself.

"What would you say if you had bad luck?"

When he was a child, Bai Yun told Luffy that if he encountered any problems and he was not around, what would he think like this?

Luffy sat down, crossed his legs, and imitated Bai Yun's kind smile. I have to say, he was really trying to imitate the little genius.

"If that's the case, then why are there trials written on the four entrances? I don't think it's for fun... Of course, that's not necessarily the case."

This is what Luffy said imitating Bai Yun.

Usopp even smiled and recovered.

"Hahahaha, what a lucky break!"

Sanji also smiled, "'Bai Luck' is right. Anyway, keep vigilant and keep moving forward before reaching the end."

Sanji said this before Luffy took out a water bottle.

"I'm so thirsty. Let's drink tea and take a rest!"

Usopp agreed.

"Ah, what a great idea! Take out the packed pancakes too."

"Ah~ so comfortable."

Drinking tea with pancakes, Luffy and Usopp felt at ease in their souls.

"You two!!!"

Sanji now regrets why the ones with him are not Miss Nami and Miss Robin.

........

The Crow was walking along the River of Clouds.

Luffy and Usopp were still chewing pancakes.

"Want some sky pancakes? Sanji."

Luffy asked.

"No! Listen, I'll drive the boat. Pay attention to what's going on around you!"

Sanji refused, saying he was full of anger.

At this time, Luffy realized, "Wow, when did you reach such a high place?"

We walked all the way, but it was still quiet, something was wrong.

Sanji thought to himself.

"It's strange. It clearly says there are four priests. I thought the four cave entrances lead to the places guarded by the four priests... Is it wrong?"

Sanji thinks about this while the music plays in the background.

"Hey, Usopp! Pass the ball!"

"Okay! No problem, no problem!"

"I told you to watch it carefully!!!"

Sanji was so angry that he wanted to kick these two guys off.

And then something unexpected happened.

The ball Luffy threw at Usopp popped, and a snake came out of the ball and bit Usopp.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Usopp reacted quickly and immediately squatted down to avoid the snake's bite.

Luffy immediately came over and kicked the snake ball away.

"You guy! Get out of here!!"

"Huhu, you scared me."

Luffy was panting. A snake suddenly jumped out while he was having fun. He was either scared or startled. You know, it was like a "very sudden" feeling.

"Sanji! There's a cloud ball ahead!"

"Kick it away!!"

A snake popped out just now, and Usopp is now very repelled by these balls, as a normal person would think.

"hateful!"

"Are the clouds floating here all the nests of snakes?"

Sanji stood up and kicked him, guessing at the same time.

Then the ball on his feet exploded instantly.

Obviously he guessed wrong.
