NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33
There are corpses in the flowers!
Ma Long took a few steps to the side, and his footsteps also made a crackling sound.
There are corpses everywhere here, why? Isn't this a deserted island?
The flowers are like the sea, and the fragrance of flowers is charming. What a beautiful environment! I didn't expect that under this beauty, there is a terrible danger hidden.
How did they die?
Ma Long kept walking, always confused, but he never found the problem.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.
The fragrance of flowers!
The fragrance of flowers is poisonous!
This is the only explanation!
Ma Long, who ate the seeds of the All-Knowing Tree, is completely immune to plant poisons, so he doesn't know whether the fragrance of flowers is toxic or not, so he can only conclude this way.
Crouching down, inserting his fingers into the ground, countless tiny hair roots grew out and penetrated into the ground under the island.
Slowly, his face changed. The whole island is buried with countless corpses!
This island is a huge grave!
He stood up and explored back and forth on the island to see if he could find the reason why these people died here.
In the center of the island, there is a flower that is larger than other flowers, like a rose, blooming.
Its fragrance is more intense.
Not finding any clues, he grasped the flower stem.
The thorn on the flower stem pierced his finger and sucked his blood.
"Huh?"
That's too much!
He activated his ability and sucked the rose that seemed to have life back.
As the omniscient tree, he could assimilate all the plants in the world.
In a few minutes, the huge rose penetrated into his body from the wound on his finger like liquid. Except for feeling a little bloated, there was no other discomfort.
""Bang!"
An object fell to the ground from the root of the rose.
Malone bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a round thing covered with dust. After blowing off the dirt, he found that there were mysterious patterns on it!
He quickly took it to the beach to wash it.
Damn!
Devil Fruit!
Is the devil fruit buried underground so magical? It didn't even rot!
Malone had never found a devil fruit by himself, so this feeling was quite exciting, equivalent to winning the jackpot for the first time buying a lottery ticket.
I didn't expect to find such a good treasure during a late-night expedition, but I didn't know what fruit it was. I hope it wasn't a toad fruit again, otherwise he would go crazy.
He returned to the ship happily, entered the poop building and found his bedroom, and made a... He made a small wooden box, put the fruit in it, sealed it, and placed it in the corner of the bed.
After returning, he would make an identification to see what kind of fruit it is, and give it to Renis or Dorthy first.
Although sister Tashigi is very cute, it is a pity that she is not his own, so she will not be able to get the fruit.
Marlon did not keep watch, but went to sleep directly. His observation Haki is very sensitive, and he will wake up automatically when there is danger, regardless of whether he is on guard or not.
When he woke up the next day, he found that the ship had already left the deserted island and was heading towards the target location.
He washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and came to the deck. He saw thick smoke surrounding Smoker at the bow.
Marlon shook his head.
Tsk tsk, it's a good thing this guy ate the smoke fruit, otherwise, with this amount of smoking, most people would have died long ago.
""You're awake, quite early." Smoker frowned and said.
Malone knew he was implying something, after all, all the navy had woken up and started to work, and he was the last one to wake up.
"Yeah, it was quite early. What is the origin of the Black Hawk Pirates?"
"The captain is the 170 million Black Hawk Gula, whose fruit is the Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Black Hawk form. He has strong mobility in the air. The navy has surrounded him seven times but failed to catch him."
"The navy is indeed quite incompetent. Malone commented
"When the battle starts, you have to assist me in attacking. If he flies into the air, it will be difficult to deal with him."
"How far is it?"
"Arrive within half an hour."
Ma Long jumped onto the observation deck and began his meditation practice.
He had inhaled a strange rose last night, but he didn't know its power yet. He would use it to see the effect when he met pirates.
During the meditation practice, he was recreating all the battles he had experienced before, and looking for points that he could strengthen from past battles.
The more you fight, the stronger you become. This is the truth. His physical strength, which had already reached its limit, could feel the seal loosening in the near future.
It seems that he will have to go through a more fierce battle!
Half an hour later, the warship arrived at the island.
There was a flag at the dock with a black eagle painted on it.
""Bang!" A cannonball flew up from the island and hit the warship!
Malone was shocked. What a great pirate! He actually took the initiative and dared to bombard the warship!
Smoker turned into smoke and flew into the air. The thick smoke went straight up, wrapping and controlling the cannonball in the air.
Then it was thrown into the sea beside, exploding a large column of water.
This was the first time Malone had seen such an arrogant pirate. It seemed that the previous failed captures had given the Black Hawk Pirates great confidence!
Smoker flew directly to the turret less than a hundred meters deep on the shore.
"Captain Smoker, wait for me!"
Tashigi pushed her glasses and jumped off the warship. She had no fruit, so she could only run over.
The rest of the navy looked at each other. The boss was gone, what should we do?
Marlon was speechless. He thought it was outrageous enough for him to be a leader, but he didn't expect Smoker to be even more outrageous than himself! At least give an order to your subordinates!
"Leave three of you to fire back, and the rest of you follow me. When our Lieutenant Colonel Smoker seizes control of the artillery position, you will go there and fire at the enemy's hinterland."
"Why should a errand boy give us orders?"
"That’s right, I’m a private first class!"
"I'm still a private first class!"
The private first class helmsman yelled,"Listen to him!"
The rest of the people were all terrified and hurriedly obeyed the order.
The island is very large, and there are ordinary residents on the island. The pirates who occupy the port are the real overlords of this island. Even the king of the island trembles when he sees them.
In the king's palace, the King of All Peoples stood aside and served tea and water to the Black Eagle Gula who was sitting on the throne, while in Gula's arms, he held his newly-adult daughter.
The princess had tears in her eyes, but she dared not cry. She could only let the evil hands continue to take from her.
The king dared not speak, and watched his precious daughter being ruined by pirates. He was humiliated in front of her without any scruples, and there were ministers watching below. In any case, the face of the royal family was completely lost.
Some ministers were secretly happy, some were angry, some were watching the excitement, and some wanted to kick the pirates away and replace them.
Gula stuck out his tongue, licked the princess's face, and said to the tall man standing next to him:"Mondor, your request is too unreasonable. I'm sorry I can't agree to it."
Charlotte Mondor said gloomily:"You dare to bargain with the BIGMOM Pirates?"
