The Shounen Hero (Book 2!!)

A Village of Winged People?! (Part 2!!)

The mammoth continues to approach Xiao's village, but then all of a sudden- 

It begins to get scared and knocks everyone off. 

Bickslow: HEY YOU STUPID MAMMOTH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! 

Carla: EGH! I think it's the smell.

Chopper: Yeah. I smell that too. It's- AGH! MY NOSTRILS ARE ON FIRE!! 

Wendy: Chopper, it does smell that bad. 

Laxus: What you're referring to are these trees. 

Xiao: Yeah, those are daft green. You see these help ward off any of the animals that come nearby. 

Erza: Hahahaha. In other words, they're a natural defense mechanism. 

Xiao: You could put it like that. 

Chopper: Yeah, well it's working on me. I need to lie down. 

The reindeer doctor collapses.

Wendy: Let's just hurry before Chopper's sinuses get even worse. 

Carla: Agreed. I can already feel my sinuses twitching. 

On the other hand... 

In the village of these people, Usopp, Gray, and Sanji have woken up. 

Gray: Man, I can't believe we're still alive. 

Sanji: And yet I notice, THERE AREN'T ANY HOT GIRLS HERE!!! 

Usopp: THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE FOCUSED ON?! 

One of the women comes over to them. 

Woman: Oh, you're awake. 

Gray: It takes a lot to get us to stay down. Especially him. 

Sanji: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! 

Usopp: Down you t- Hey, what's with those bird feathers on your arms? 

Woman: Oh. Well, to be honest, I don't know. They just popped up af- 

She pauses upon seeing what's in front of her, and pushes the body down. 

Woman: Shhh! Stay down.

A giant Trasnponder's Snail comes by. 

Gray: Is that a- 

Woman: It's a Surveillance Transponder's Snail. Shiki uses it to spy on us. 

Usopp: SHIKI?! HE OWNS THIS PLACE?! 

Woman: He came out of nowhere and took over everything. He could drop the island at any point that he wants. 

Back with Zoro's group... 

Xiao is slapped by her mother. 

Xiao's Mother: Young Lady, I already told you not to go off! You could have- 

Xiao: But I had to. 

She pulls out a plant that her mother recognizes. 

Xiao's Mother: Is that? 

Xiao: I had to, for Grandma. 

Her Grandmother was very sick. 

Wendy: What is that? 

Xiao: Iq. It's a plant that can create a cure for those that inhale a large amount of the Daft Green trees. But they were taken! IT'S BECAUSE OF SHIKI!! 

Straw Hats: DID YOU SAY SHIKI?! 

Xiao's Mother: He took over the island. Everything was fine. We were all at peace until he showed up.
