The group began their trip to Alubarna, this time with a heightened sense of purpose and determination to reach their destination. Ken wasn't sure who had been assigned to this mission, but that only made him more excited to take part in it himself. The carriage that they had arrived in once more began to half sail across the arid desert after it had dropped them off.

"There are moments when I find myself wishing we had the thestrals." While Nami was peering out the window, she said. Thestrals were fictional creatures from the Harry Potter series that had the ability to both fly and draw carriages.

"Yeah, I wish that was something we had." There were other people who nodded their heads. 'Sailing' over the desert would take too much and the crew didn't have much time to go through that.

"We can use the Bifrost to get to the capital.". As Ken thought back on it and said, he recalled that his Bifrost could also be used to travel slowly if it was positioned in the sky in the form of a platform and some animal was employed to draw a carriage behind it.

Even though Banchi was a very good turtle, in the end he was going to be quite slow in the plain land.

"Will that work for us?" Vivi inquired about this since she, like many others, was confused about how the power of Ken operated. As soon as Ken mentioned that they could fly, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. Of course, many people in this place were already able to fly, such as Sanji, whose power had already granted him the ability to do so, Chopper, who could easily transform into a number of birds and fly around, and even Nami, if she got her hands on the flying broom; however, flying while seated in a carriage was an entirely different experience.

Ken couldn't help but wonder what these people would think and feel if they had ever lived in the world Ken had created before, one in which flying was simple and commonplace. He then said while shaking his head.

"You have completely missed the idea here. If I open the Bifrost, we will be able to use the carriage and "fly" towards the capital city, but in order to do so, we will need an animal that is capable of pulling the carriage at a very high rate of speed. Banchi excels in environments with sand and water, while it is less effective in plain ground. Because of this, he will move very slowly, which is essentially equivalent to walking on earth." Ken reminded.

When Ken placed the cards on the table, everyone's faces took on a defeated expression. Everything that made us excited was for naught in the end. On the other hand, Luffy suddenly stood up out of nowhere. The expression on his face suggested that he had just had a brilliant idea. Ken felt uneasy in response to this.

"What exactly are you pondering?" Ken was compelled to inquire about it.

"Do you agree that we need an animal to pull with? And there's no way that's Bacnhi. Why don't we inquire with Caroo?" Luffy remarked as he looked at the yellow duck bird, who appeared to be having a good time hanging out with them. When Luffy stated that, Caroo immediately felt terrified, and all of its feathers began to stand on up.

"Unfortunately, Luffy, this is not possible since Caroo was not old enough or strong enough to pull the carriage when she was young." Vivi said as she clung to her cherished animal companion.

"But we can use Ken's powers on Caroo. Can't we?" Luffy said. The others, including Ken, jumped at the sound of such remarks. Ken had never considered his method in this particular way before. During this entire period, he had been considering applying his method to conscious human beings. However, what about the animals?

"System, is it possible for animals to be accepted?" Ken questioned the topic in his head.

Any being that is even partially sentient is welcome. Since the animals in this world can mostly understand human language, they could be called as more than half sentient beings.

As Ken turned his attention to Caroo and Banchi, a broad grin spread across his face. Both of the animals started trembling and ran behind Vivi and Robin out of fear. However, it was only natural for Ussop, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro to have devil eyes. Even Chopper couldn't hide his excitement about it.

"Ken, can it be done?" Vivi inquired about this because, in her mind, it was impossible to bestow characters from a separate universe upon the animals. Ken gave a slight nod in agreement.

"Wohoo!!"

"Yipee!"

Ussop, Luffy, and Chopper started dancing and cheering as they found out that they, too, would be obtaining super dogs.

"You are starting the celebration far too soon. What if the character they choose isn't a good one?" However, as expected, the three were not paying attention to Ken's statements and instead were imagining various outcomes in their heads. Vivi and Robin gave Ken the okay to use his "Devil fruit" on Banchi and Caroo by nodding their heads in agreement.

Both of the animals were terrified that their owners were going to leave them, so they assumed a puppy-like expression. However, neither of the women was fooled by this appearance. It would be of great assistance to the crew if the Devil fruit of Ken could provide these creatures with the boost they need to perform at their best.

Everyone gathered around once Banchi and Caroo had been presented to them. Nobody would regret not having the chance to experience the world that these animals would be coerced into. Within a very short amount of time, they had entered the system space. The first one to go was Caroo.

Even though he was grieving, he embraced whatever was to come with an open heart and a willing spirit.

Soon everyone was forced upon a new world. A world that appeared to be completely dark in every direction.

"Why is it such a gloomy night? Does this earth not have any sunshine? I really hope Caroo doesn't perish because of the freezing temperatures." Robin said while maintaining her typical negative outlook on life on the world.

"Robin, please refrain from using language that is so insulting against my Caroo." Vivi screamed, but she was terrified for her beloved animal companion.

"No ... There is light.. Take a look at those insects that are sparkling." Luffy yelled, and then some insects that appeared to be emitting lights from their tails appeared. The same as when Ken was a glow worm in his prior existence.

"This is such a lovely thing. I have to know, is it possible for me to transform into these bugs?" Chopper said as he attempted to imitate the insects that he was observing but was unsuccessful. While this was going on, Ken got a better look at the insect. Because of the contrast between the light and the darkness, at first it was unclear whether or not the creature in question was actually a glow worm.

But eventually he was able to glimpse the insect, and when he did, his eyes grew quite big. The insect's body was covered in a white shell, and it was significantly larger than the ordinary glow worm. The tail was far too large, and during the night it flashed brightly, illuminating the surrounding area.

And there were several of such to be found. And this location wasn't even a world; it was just a cave!
