In the bedroom on the second floor, Luo Jie once again saw the charming and super-large mermaid girl.
He thought that by such a sudden visit, he would most likely see "Shirahoshi" dressed relaxedly at home. If he was lucky, he might even catch a scene of a beautiful girl changing clothes like a clichéd two-dimensional scene... However, when he saw
When he saw "Shirahoshi" dressed neatly and sitting beside the bed, he actually felt a little regretful.
"Big Night Dire...brother."
"Shirahoshi" actually wanted to call him "Sir" out of habit, but suddenly remembered his father's instructions and changed his name temporarily.
While saying hello, she extended her hand to Luo Jie.
Luo Jie was stunned for a moment before he realized that "White Star" wanted him to stand on his hand.
In the original work, she did the same to "Luffy". Otherwise, with her height of six meters even when she is sitting down, it would be too hard on her neck to talk to people.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Luo Jie smiled, and his body instantly swelled under the power of "Shadow Revolution" until it was similar in size to "White Star".
This is also the limit to which "Shadow Revolution" can expand his body. If it grows any larger, the shadow will be so thin that it is almost invisible. It will be difficult for him to maintain the outline of his body, and his overall style will become inexplicably Cthulhu.
"ah……"
The size of the body directly determines the pressure between organisms.
Although "White Star" is timid and shy, she still feels a sense of security due to the size difference between them. However, as Luo Jie's size expanded to the same height as her, her feelings for Luo Jie suddenly changed from "little
"Human" turned into "an adult man", his heart suddenly beat wildly, he subconsciously moved his body back, his cheeks turned red and hot.
Seeing "White Star"'s reaction that could be understood at a glance, Luo Jie inexplicably remembered a sentence he had read before - if he has many friends, you should be by the stove; if he is in love for the first time, you should take off your clothes.
Uh, wrong, this is for the male version.
It should be this sentence - If her heart has gone through many changes, take her to ride the merry-go-round; if she has not yet experienced the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world.
"White Star" is the standard silly sweet lady. She has been forced to live in a hard-shell tower since she was 6 years old. She fully meets the condition of "not experienced in the world". With Luo Jie's long-term accumulated experience, he can defeat her.
The difficulty can be said to be at a kindergarten level.
But there is one objective factor that will directly affect the success rate of the "White Star" strategy, and that is this hard-shell tower.
To put it more directly, if Luo Jie doesn't get rid of the disgusting "Vander Daken IX", if Luo Jie wants to attack "White Star" just by chatting with him every now and then, the most likely outcome is that he will receive a "Brother Card"
.
The relationship between men and women is like this - why can't green plums defeat the sky? It's because ordinary daily life has far less impact on people's hearts than passionate encounters. Silent emotions that nourish things often have not yet materialized into love.
So I changed my route to the family side.
It must be resolved quickly.
After thinking about this, Luo Jie gave up all the polite words he had prepared, and in a very inflammatory tone, he lowered his voice in Bai Xing's ear: "Sister Bai Xing, do you want to leave Dragon Palace City?"
"White Star"'s beautiful eyes widened instantly, then she blushed and shook her head hurriedly: "No, my father and brothers won't let me leave the Hard Shell Tower privately."
How could she not want to leave this "cage" that had trapped her for eight years? But she knew very well that if she traveled out willfully and without permission, it would only add more trouble to her father and brother who were already busy with official duties.
Luo Jie did not give up and continued to persuade: "Let's not say whether they will give in or not. Sister Bai Xing, just tell me whether you want it or not."
"Of course I do." The inexperienced "White Star" was unprepared for Luo Jie's obviously purposeful inducement, and said with a somewhat sad look: "My mother's tomb is in the Forest of the Sea in the northeast of Yumen Street. I have always wanted to
I went there to express my condolences to her, but my father and brother always refused to take me there because they were worried about my safety... I'm sorry to let Brother Nightmare listen to all my complaints. In fact, even if I really wanted to get out of the tower, I wouldn't be able to get out of the tower without my father.
According to the order, the guards outside will not open the door under any circumstances."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, and suddenly a "Shadow Mage" shot into the shadow of "White Star" reflected on the floor.
Immediately afterwards, "Shirahoshi" felt that everything around her was getting bigger in an instant... No, it wasn't that the world was getting bigger, it was that she was getting smaller!
"It seems that it can only shrink to this extent at most."
Looking at the "White Star" that was now the size of an ordinary person, Luo Jie nodded with satisfaction, released his own "Shadow Revolution" and returned to normal, and couldn't help but pick up the mermaid girl who was still a little overwhelmed.
"Ah? Brother Nightmare..."
Except for his father and brother, "Shirahoshi" has never had such close physical contact with any other male in his whole life. Especially being held in someone's arms like this is a novel experience that he has never had before.
She subconsciously wanted to break away, but she was inexplicably obsessed with the sense of security that this kind of dominance brought to her. At this moment, she completely forgot about her father and brother's warnings, and kept hinting in her heart that "she has refused but has no ability to resist".
She buried her face on Luo Jie's shoulder like an ostrich, and let the other person hold her uneasily as she walked into the black "shadow box" erected on the ground.
After a moment of darkness, "White Star" found himself in the lower seawater of Fish-Man Island. The Dragon Palace City above his head, wrapped in bubbles, was as small as a colorful pearl in the sun.
"I only left this "Shadow Box" on the island for emergency use. You have to swim by yourself to the Sea Forest, so let's go."
Luo Jie let go of "White Star" in his arms, but still held her hand.
At this moment, "White Star"'s heart had already been filled with the excitement and excitement of leaving home secretly. He didn't pay any attention to this small detail. Instead, he took the initiative to swing his beautiful pink fish tail with Luo Jie and quickly swam deeper into the seabed.
The Forest of the Sea is also known as the "Cemetery of Ships", where countless sunken ships that failed to reach "Mishman Island" are piled up over hundreds of years. However, due to the sunlight transmitted by the "Sun Tree Eve", there is no gloominess here.
The atmosphere is full of beautiful coral reefs.
The original wife of "King Neptune" and the former princess "Otohime" is buried here.
"Shirahoshi" presented corals and sea anemones that she picked in front of her mother's tombstone, and silently expressed her condolences. Just when she was about to get up, an ax flew from above without any warning.
The spotted ax blade struck straight at "White Star".
Did it appear so soon...
Although Luo Jie cannot activate the "Seeing and Hearing Haki" for a long time, the "ultrasonic imaging" ability of the "Mosasaurus Skeleton Pendant" allows him to use his ears as eyes and monitor everything within the 360-degree range without blind spots.
Especially the imaging effect in water is clearer and more thorough.
clang--!
Luo Jie wrapped his fist with "Armed Haki" and knocked away the iron ax with a slap. The ax, whose strength was offset, spun and fell into the coral bush, with no sign of flying out again.
Uh...that's it?
[Target Fruit]'s thrown objects will not be affected by the resistance during flight, that is to say, the force with which they are thrown will determine the force with which they hit the target.
The power transmitted from this ax is actually not small. If converted into a physical value, it is at least about 5,000. However, the problem is that it does not have any "armed domineering". In the current version, it is not considered a BOSS at all. It is at best an elite monster.
"White Star" was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly checked Luo Jie's hand, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not injured. He apologized: "Brother Nightmare, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought it up in Haizhisen...
Let’s go back to Dragon Palace City as soon as possible.”
Luo Jie's feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and the "White Star" actually didn't move at all when he pulled it.
"Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves...Sister Bai Xing, don't you want to leave that hard-shell tower?"
…
Somewhere outside Fishman Island.
A huge pirate ship with a broken shell like a ghost ship was quietly suspended in the dark sea water.
Inside the cabin, a tiger shark fishman wearing a top hat, with four legs and two arms, was wiping a row of throwing knives on his waist with a soft cloth with grease.
It is none other than Princess "White Star"'s crazy suitor, the captain of the "Flying Pirates" - "Vander Deken IX".
Sitting opposite him were several other fish-man pirates. If Luo Jie were here, he would definitely recognize them as the Great White Shark Man "Hody Jones" and the one he had a conflict with when he first came to Fish-Man Island.
His subordinates.
"Captain Daken, my men have just received news that Princess White Star seems to have left Ryugu City, and now three princes are leading a search everywhere."
"What?" "Vander Deken IX" frowned and said in disbelief: "I have been pursuing Bai Xing for eight years, and she almost never leaves the hard-shell tower... Where did you get the news?
Could it be that the old guy "Neptune" deliberately set off a smoke screen to lure me out?"
"Hody Jones" shrugged indifferently, bared his fangs, and said: "Captain Daken, our "New Fishman Pirates" only have a cooperative relationship with you, not your subordinates... I just want to
Let me remind you, if the news about Princess Bai Xing leaving the palace privately is true, then this is a good opportunity to catch her."
Unlike "Vander Deken IX" who wants to marry "White Star" as his wife, "Hody Jones" is an extreme murloc supremacist who has never been able to understand the "King Neptune"'s "
The policy of "peaceful coexistence with mankind", and the purpose of joining forces with "Vander Daken IX" is to overthrow the rule of "King Neptune", and then lead the fishmen to attack mankind, and then rule the world.
"Vander Deken IX" grabbed a small fish swimming in front of him and threw it upwards. The small fish that was supposed to swim away seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and actually headed straight towards Dragon Palace City.
Fly in the direction.
"That direction...is the new world?!"
"Vander Deken IX" is just a pervert, not a fool. His lack of strength has actually caused his increasingly suspicious character.
Just like those fans who are crazy about a certain idol in the real world, he pursued "Shirahoshi" in his own way for eight years. It can even be said that he knows "Shirahoshi" better than anyone in the world, so he knows this mermaid very well.
It is absolutely impossible for a princess to have the courage to run away from home alone, let alone escape to the new world through the submarine passage under the Red Earth Continent.
"Who else is with "Shirahoshi"?"
"Hody Jones" sneered: "Captain Daken, you should know better than me what Dragon Palace City is. Do you think that low-level people like us from Fishman Street might arrange our informants to the point where only high-level mermaids can do it?"
Entering the inner city?"
"However, speaking of luck, one of my men accidentally saw "Princess Shirahoshi" near the Forest of the Sea... Well, although her body has shrunk, her peerless beauty is still easy to identify. As you guessed
Likewise, she is indeed not alone. There is a male fish-man beside her, and the two of them are holding hands very intimately. They don't look like ordinary guards."
If "Hody Jones" had been at the scene at that time, he would definitely have recognized Luo Jie who had given him the "broken egg attack", but he only heard the description from his subordinates, and Luo Jie was not wrapped in body armor like other humans.
In the mangrove bubble, I just thought it was a murloc that looked more like a human.
"Vander Deken" only felt a green light shining above his head, and the sharp teeth in his mouth were clattering.
He knew that the royal family of Dragon Palace City had a special secret medicine that could increase or decrease the body size several times in a short period of time to facilitate intercourse between men and women of different body types.
If not, the 12-meter-tall "Neptune" would not be able to successfully give birth to four children with the former princess "Otohime" who is only 2 meters tall.
Of course, this kind of medicine is not easy to prepare. Except for the mermaid royal family's own use, most of it is supplied to the Tianlong people as "Heavenly Gold" and is rarely circulated on the market. Therefore, even the residents of Fishman Island rarely know this secret.
the presence of medicine.
By the way, one of the Four Emperors, "Aunt Charlotte Lingling", is also a loyal fan of this secret medicine.
"Baixing, this bitch! She actually ran away with a wild man behind my back! - Captain Jones, let's go! You help me catch that shameless bitch, and I'll help you break into Dragon Palace City!"
…
The submarine passage under the Red Continent, the end of the New World.
Without the sunlight cast by "Sun Tree Eve", the 10,000-meter-deep seabed would be a completely dead world.
There are no colorful corals, no schools of fish, just sea sand that has been deposited for tens of millions of years and various alien creatures whose looks exceed the limits of human imagination.
Except for the fishmen who can see in the dark, human vision no longer plays any role here. Luo Jie closed his eyes and floated on the silent and empty seabed, using only "ultrasound imaging" to monitor the depth ahead like the giant mouth of a sea beast.
aisle.
"Bai Xing" pulled Luo Jie's clothes and shrank behind him, as if this was the only way to bring a sense of security to her anxious heart.
"Brother Nightmare, how about... let's go back? My father and brothers will be anxious if they can't find me."
"That hard-shell tower can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you forever. If one day that "Vander Deken IX" develops "Haki" or develops new Devil Fruit abilities, don't say that.
A hard-shell tower, even the Dragon Palace City is just a paper palace in front of him."
Luo Jie really wasn't trying to scare "White Star".
It is sheer nonsense to say that "Vander Deken IX" can cultivate "Haki", but people with extreme ideas like him are particularly easy to develop some extremely powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
Moreover, in the previous life, some players had obtained the [Target Fruit], so Luo Jie also knew very well how terrifying the advanced version of this fruit was.
Going a step further, this fruit can achieve "visual locking", "multiple charging", "automatic obstacle avoidance", and "brown trajectory", coupled with a series of throwing skills, it is almost an all-round warrior with far, medium and short attacks.
, once the "kite flying tactic" is used, almost any opponent with insufficient mobility can be dragged to death.
Even if "Vander Deken IX" is really a waste and has been unable to develop the [Target Fruit] to a higher stage, as long as we find an overweight giant like "Oath Ship Noah" like in the original work,
If you continue to push the object until it accelerates to a certain level, it is enough to destroy the entire Fishman Island.
[Target Fruit] The "zero friction before hit" rule is no joke.
Therefore, Luo Jie made up his mind. Since he had already alerted "Vander Daken IX", he would simply kill him completely before he could find out his true identity, so as to avoid the two-year training period that had not expired.
When I looked back, I found that Fishman Island was gone.
"Can……"
"Stop talking, here we come."
As Luo Jie finished speaking, a faint blue light lit up in the entrance and exit of the submarine channel a thousand meters away.
It was a broken ship with almost only the deck mast and keel skeleton left, but it was moving strangely on the windless sea bottom. The light was emitted by the bow light.
——The cursed ship [The Flying Dutchman].
Well, don't ask if it's a cross-over, just ask if the original author is paying homage.
The four-legged "Vander Daken IX" stood on the bow of the ship holding a giant battle ax, and the faint blue light reflected his already ugly fish-man face into an even more distorted shape.
Behind him, "Hody Jones", the captain of the "New Murloc Pirates", and his men boarded the bow one after another, staring at the thing suspended in the middle of the empty seabed through the thick ink-like darkness.
Luo Jie.
"Shirahoshi! I have been pursuing you for eight whole years! How dare you betray me!"
"Vander Deken IX" was overwhelmed with jealous rage. He actually picked up the two-handed battle ax weighing hundreds of kilograms and threw it fiercely in the direction of "White Star".
"etc!"
The more "Hody Jones" looked at Luo Jie, the more familiar he looked. He suddenly remembered the "pain of broken eggs" and his expression suddenly changed.
Putting aside all the old and new grudges, he knew very well that this human man who had beaten him more than ten years ago was now a big pirate with a bounty of 700 million. As long as he did not take [Erotic Drug ES],
Come on, I'm afraid that all the people on the ship are no match for this person.
Swish——!
A ball of light rises from the bottom of the sea. Although it is not as dazzling as the sun, it is enough to tear through the darkness of the 10,000-meter-deep sea.
——[Holy Light]!
Where there is light there is shadow.
A shadow rises from the bottom of the sea and turns into a "shadow box" to put the mermaid princess "Shirahoshi" inside. The entangled "armed color domineering" coats this safe house with an indestructible black shell.
.
At the same time, six "Shadow Fish" appeared neatly around Luo Jie, shooting at "Hody Jones" and "Vander Deken IX" in different trajectories.
"Brothers, take medicine!"
As early as the moment he recognized Luo Jie, "Hody Jones" had already taken out two [Evil Medicine ES] stored close to his body, and swallowed them without hesitation. The sudden increase in power drove the blood all over his body.
It was flowing wildly, and the originally clear eyes turned bloody and red under the strong effect of the drug.
clang--!
The giant battle ax that was bounced off the "Shadow Box" seemed to ring the bell of battle. "Hody Jones" shuttled between his subordinates at an unimaginable high speed, and the red trident rotated like the wind, striking one after another.
"Shadow Fish" that flies towards the fishmen.
However, Luo Jie, who was still within his sight before, disappeared in an instant, leaving only a solitary "shadow fish" in place.
"Oops! Daken!"
"Hody Jones" suddenly realized that Luo Jie's target was not him and his "New Fishman Pirates" from the beginning, and immediately turned around to rescue "Vander Deken IX".
It's a pity that the wretched tiger shark fish man hid far behind after throwing the axe. This was originally the fixed formation they had been using to fight against the Dragon Palace Guards, but at this moment, the distance of just a few dozen meters was
It became the talisman for "Vander Deken IX".
——"Pull Strike·Lightning Strike Jade"!
——"Repulse·Corrosion Jade"!
Luo Jie, who teleported to the rear, had no intention of leaving any chance for "Vander Daken IX" to survive. He shot out both fists and directly smashed the head and back of "Vander Daken IX".
In the heart, amidst the turbulent currents and permeating venom, the radio-type idiot who had harassed "White Star" for eight years gradually turned into a broken skeleton.
[You killed "Vander Daken IX" and obtained 50,000 points. 】
[It is detected that "Vander Daken IX" possesses "Devil Fruit·Target Fruit". Do you want to draw it? The remaining number of draws is 1/3. 】
At this moment, Luo Jie didn't even bother to look at the killing prompt that popped up in the system. On the other side, "Hody Jones" and his "New Fish-Man Pirates" had already arrived.
clang--!
The crimson trident swept across the black [Yunbei Gauntlets], and the terrifying strange power directly filled up the kinetic energy storage of the two [Yunbei Gauntlets] with one blow, and the aftermath even blew up sea sand with a radius of tens of meters, blowing away the original
The dark seabed was turbid and turbid.
"Human! I haven't even gone to you to avenge my punch more than ten years ago, but you've come to ruin my good deeds again! Leave your life here today!"
"Hody Jones"'s trident struck again, and the rolling undercurrent carried countless gravel like a rolling and roaring earth dragon on the seabed.
Six swimming "Shadow Fish" dug into the shadow of "Hody Jones" from behind. The burly great white shark mermaid's figure suddenly stiffened, but it only took a moment to forcefully break free with brute force.
——"Finger gun"!
Luo Jie knew that "Shadow Fish" could not pin down "Hody Jones", so he directly predicted the opponent's movement and stabbed forward with one finger.
"Hody Jones" suddenly rushed forward and collided with the index finger wrapped with "Armed Color Haki". He had no time to avoid it and immediately tensed up his muscles.
"Boss, don't forget us to take revenge on this human being!"
Wow!
A chain shot out from the turbid sea water, wrapping around Luo Jie's wrist and tightening suddenly. At the same time, a murloc man with black and white stripes of skin appeared from the protective color.
The mud and sand on the bottom of the sea rolled, and a small shark-like fishman wearing a steel helmet suddenly emerged from the dug cave, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Luo Jie's calf.
This up and down restraint forcefully stopped Luo Jie's attack that was almost certain to hit.
"Jeo! Bodhidharma! You did it - ow!"
Before "Hody Jones" could say the last "good" word, he felt his whole body fly upwards, and a familiar and humiliating pain instantly spread from his lower body to his whole body.
In the peripheral vision, the human's right hand, which was pulled by the chain, twisted and stretched weirdly like a snake, and the dark gauntlet was still faintly flashing with arcs of electricity that had not yet dissipated.
——"Shadow Revolution"!
"Boss!"
The giant squid-like fishman "Ikaros" holding eight vampire spears and the six-legged blue-ringed octopus swordsman "Leopard Zodiac" swooped up and launched a violent and violent attack on Luo Jie.
.
Luo Jie didn't even bother to dodge, he directly picked up the black and white striped murloc "Jeo" and the dwarf murloc "Dharma" one by one, and smashed "Ikaros" and "Lehozo" into rolling gourds like bowling balls.
.
There was no way, after experiencing the intense melee in the "War on Top", it was difficult for Luo Jie to take this level of siege seriously.
"Zeo, Bodhidharma, Ikaros, and Leopard Zodiac, all four of you, get out of the way! I will kill this human with my own hands!"
The sharp pain in his crotch further aroused the ferocity of "Hody Jones". He grabbed a handful of [Vicious Medicine ES] from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth. The strong medicinal properties made his body painful.
Twitching, the black curly hair became dry and pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Boss, you..."
The four fishmen were at a loss. They were very aware of the side effects of this [evil drug ES]. Even they only dared to take one pill at a time. Taking more than three pills at a time was almost the same as committing suicide.
It can be said that "Hody Jones" is really a genius in taking drugs. He managed to withstand the lethal dose of "ES" to ordinary people. After a brief painful struggle, his rickety body slowly straightened up, and he could no longer see at all.
The red eyes that reached the pupils revealed a murderous light.
"Is this what power feels like..."
Bang!
A huge rolling wave exploded under the feet of "Hody Jones". He resisted the resistance of the sea water and used brute force to move at a high speed that was close to [Six Styles·Shaving], and arrived in front of Luo Jie almost in the blink of an eye.
Luo Jie wrapped his arms around "Armed Color Haki" and faced "Hody Jones" head-on. The two disproportionate fists collided together, causing a shock wave like a Category 10 hurricane on the bottom of the sea, blowing away the sediment and various materials.
All kinds of weird sea fish were blown away.
Even with the double protection of [Yunbei Gloves] and [Armed Color Haki], the bones in Luo Jie's body were still able to withstand the strange force of "Hody Jones". It felt like an ordinary person wearing armor and facing him hard.
If you resist the impact of a bull, although the blow will not kill you, you will inevitably be shocked and vomit blood.
Only then did Luo Jie realize that he had missed something.
In the original work, "Luffy" was able to confront the drug-addled "Hody Jones" head-on because he was a rubber man and had a damage-reducing effect on blunt blows!
"Hody Jones, I admit that I underestimated you, but if you think this is all my strength, you are wrong!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hody Jones" thought Luo Jie was bluffing, stepped on the sea water to stabilize his body, and rushed towards Luo Jie again.
Luo Jie just raised his left hand lightly, and the turbulent undercurrent around him suddenly calmed down completely and strangely.
The sea seemed to take on a form at this moment, turning into a big hand and holding "Hody Jones" tightly in it. No matter how he swam and struggled, all the strength would be offset by the opposite undercurrent.
Not only "Hody Jones", the four fish-man pirates who had withdrawn from the battlefield early - "Zeo", "Dharma", "Ikaros", and "Lehozo" were also affected by invisible forces.
He was restrained and his hands and feet were desperately paddling in the sea water, which looked funny and extremely weird.
——Teigu [Water Dragon Pony Black Malin]!
"This is my biggest trump card in this world, so...only the dead can keep secrets, right?"
Swish——!
An upside-down shadow canopy rose from the bottom of the sea. Countless sharp "shadow horn guns" slowly stretched out from the canopy. The still water drove "Hody Jones" and others to start slowly rotating and accelerating, screaming in agony.
