Even though the weather at sea is sunny and windy, under the sea surface... as long as you dive a little further, the surroundings will become invisible.
However, for Erdini, this is not a problem.
Erdini has many abilities that are very suitable for operating under the sea, one of which... is "night vision".
According to his own words, he had been tortured before (a cruel punishment that leaves no wounds but can cause blindness. The specific method is: put fresh horse urine into a sealed bucket, then light a fire to roast it, and then
Pressing a person's head in until the horse urine evaporates) was tortured repeatedly, but the result was... not only was his eyes not blind, but he could also see in various turbid liquids.
In addition, Erdini also has the ability to breathe underwater.
According to his own words, he has also been subjected to waterboarding before (a form of torture or torture by creating the feeling of being on the verge of drowning. After years of research and development, many improvements and variations have emerged, "
"Buddha's Face Pasted with Gold Paper" is also one of them; and the simplest and most traditional method is to repeatedly press the person's head into the water, pull it up at the critical point of suffocation, and continue the cycle until the executioner reaches the point of suffocation.
He was tortured repeatedly... But in the end, he didn't even give out a fart, and his lungs also mutated... Gills grew on both sides of his chin.
There are many "legends" like this, and their authenticity cannot be verified.
Maybe these abilities of Erdini are innate, and he just made up some torture stories to build his image of a tough guy; or maybe... what he said is all true, which means that Erdini's real ability is actually
The body is induced to mutate in extreme pain to adapt to the harsh environment.
Anyway... As Blackbeard's right-hand man, Erdini's strength is definitely not bad. If you want to compare... he should be about the same as a mid-level "Shiguan".
It was precisely because of his confidence in his strength and special abilities that Blackbeard sent him to the sea to investigate.
Erdini lived up to Blackbeard's trust. After jumping off the ship, he burst through the sea like a fish and swam quickly towards the sea area where the "cannonball" just fell.
It didn't take long before he discovered the "cannonball" created by the "master" that was still slowly sinking in the sea water.
Since Erdini's order was to "investigate" the situation of this object, he must have contacted it; therefore, after confirming the target, he braced himself and swam over cautiously.
.
However, at this time, he did not know that... the "thing" in front of him could not be dealt with by relying on "caution"...
Ten seconds later, Erdini arrived near the cannonball, and his swimming speed gradually slowed down.
Through the sea water, what Erdini saw was a metal sphere emitting a faint silver light. He observed it for a few seconds, and then thought in his heart: "The captain's worries are indeed correct. This thing is not ordinary no matter how you look at it."
The cannonball is some kind of 'magic prop'; if we leave it alone, it is likely to cause some kind of mutation that is detrimental to us."
Erdini also has some experience in handling this type of items. Generally speaking... don't touch it directly with your hands, as it will not trigger any effects.
Thinking of this, Erdini took off his shirt and prepared to "wrap up" the thing and take it away.
Unexpectedly... as soon as he stretched out his hand, before he touched the sphere, something terrible happened...
But the silver metal ball suddenly exploded and turned into a puddle of mercury-like, irregular-shaped substance. In the blink of an eye, its size had expanded to a size larger than Erdini's entire body.
Upon seeing this, Erdini's reaction was also very fast. Almost at the same moment when the explosion occurred, he turned around and retreated.
It's a pity... He was too close to the ball, and after all, it was too late to escape from the danger range.
Soon, the thick metallic liquid entangled and wrapped Erdini...and poured into his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears...
…………
Time, return to the present.
The figure fell to the ground and the deck shattered.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was Edini, the first mate of the Queen Anna's Revenge.
But at this moment, he looked quite abnormal.
His eyes had lost their pupils, and the two eye sockets were filled with a ball of silver.
There were no clothes on his body, and 80% of his body was covered with a silvery metal-like substance.
The most astonishing thing was that the strange murderous intent coming out of him... seemed to have some substance, forcing the pirates on the deck to retreat one after another.
"Uh...Mr. Erdini...what's wrong with you?" A sailor who usually had a good relationship with Erdini took a few steps forward and asked tentatively.
"Don't go there! Idiot! That's not true at all..." An old crew member standing near him immediately yelled and cursed, trying to call him back.
But... it's too late.
At that moment, Erdini took action without warning and pierced the sailor's chest with a punch.
The latter looked horrified and refused to close his eyes.
"Ha..." And Erdini...or rather, the "parasitic creature that has taken control of Erdini's body" showed a hint of a sinister smile.
This kind of smile is familiar to Feng Bujue and most of the people on this ship; they all know that this is the expression they get when they gain happiness and satisfaction from killing.
"Be careful!" Three seconds later, Honghu was the first to react and shouted loudly, "This guy is going to go on a killing spree!"
As an outsider who didn't know Erdini at all, Honghu made an accurate judgment quickly and without any emotional factors.
As he shouted, he summoned his weapon.
In the blink of an eye, there was only a "whoosh" sound, and a light arrow flew towards Erdini's face.
Suddenly, in less than half a second, with a crisp sound, Erdini used his hand covered with silver liquid... to firmly hold the light arrow shot by the swan.
"The speed and reaction ability are ridiculously fast, and he can also grab pure energy attacks with his bare hands..." Seeing this, Snow said solemnly, "I'm afraid this guy will be difficult to deal with..."
"Hmph..." Honghu chuckled lightly and continued, "I knew he could capture energy before I took action..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another harsh and strange sound in the distance.
It turned out that the arrow Honghu had just shot had a back-up move. In an instant, the light arrow exploded in Erdini's hand and turned into a "light array", shrouding the latter in it.
"Huh?" After Erdini was trapped in the formation, although a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he did not show any panic.
He thought for a few seconds, then raised his arm and punched the light wall in front of him.
duang
Violent shocks reverberated within the spherical light array, shaking Erdini himself a few times, but he did not seem to be injured.
On the contrary, the light array itself, with just this blow... cracks appeared.
"Hey~ You are armed and domineering all over your body, right?" Feng Bujue saw this and complained at the right time, "I have to take care of this!"
While he was talking, Brother Jue was already raising his arms and rolling up his sleeves, eager to give it a try.
Feng Bujue still felt a little sorry for Blackbeard about breaking up the Brown Algae earlier, because he did understand the kind of "one set of collections only missing one of them"
Feelings; and now, there is an opportunity to perform meritorious service for the pirate group, and Brother Jue is naturally obliged to do so.
But...just when he was about to rush out...
dong dong
The familiar, strange footsteps... sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, Blackbeard slowly walked out of a cabin leading to the lower deck.
"It's so noisy... I thought something was going on..." Blackbeard said as he walked, directly towards Erdini, "It turns out that my first mate is back."
At this moment, Erdini also used a wave of continuous attacks to shatter the barrier created by Honghu.
At this moment, after the fierce battle, on the bloody deck...the number one and number two figures of the Blackbeard Pirates actually formed a confrontation.
"Haha... there's something fun to watch now." Feng Bujue, who just wanted to do it himself, suddenly calmed down his fighting spirit and acted like a common man.
"Indeed..." Even Honghu put away his bow and said softly, "So far, we have not seen Blackbeard's actual performance in battle. We take this opportunity... to observe it."
While the two players were having a conversation, on the other side...
Erdini had already replied: "I am not your first mate."
His voice changed slightly, and it was as if the original Erdini had put a handful of thumbtacks down his throat.
"So...who are you?" Blackbeard asked coldly.
"No one," the other party replied, "Of course, I don't mind using the name of the original owner of this body."
"Understood..." When Blackbeard read these three words, he spoke very slowly, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes, "The implication... my first mate can no longer come back.
Yeah?"
"Hehehe..." The parasite smiled. He did not answer Blackbeard's question because the answer was already obvious.
"Sure enough... this man is a very important figure on this ship, right?" After the parasite laughed a few times, he continued, "I felt it when I was 'devouring' him... this guy's
His will was so strong that I was surprised. I spent a long time... I tortured him at a high intensity that is unimaginable to ordinary people in the spiritual realm, but I still couldn't make his will surrender. In desperation, I could only torture him on the physical level.
His brain was destroyed to a certain extent, and then he gained control of this body."
When he said this, he paused and looked around: "Now that I think about it... the reason why he would rather endure tremendous pain and resist until the last moment is probably to buy time for you guys; he
I hope you can leave here without waiting for him, so... you don't have to face me."
"Ha!" At this point, he laughed quite proudly, "It's really ironic... In fact... if he doesn't come close to me, then at most I will become a parasite on some kind of marine creature.
Then he turns into a sea monster and attacks you, but the upper limit of that kind of body... is nothing compared to that of this 'Mr. First Mate'." He shrugged, "I have to say... your luck
It’s really not good.”
His words successfully angered the surrounding pirates.
Evidently Erdini was highly regarded on the ship; even to ordinary people he was a feared villain... but to the pirates he was a villain worthy of their respect.
The pirates' outlook on life and friendship are very strange and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
They pursue wealth, but they are not just pursuing wealth.
They admire strength, but sometimes refuse to succumb to it.
They will curse each other, fight, and even kill each other, but this will not change the fact that they are sincere brothers with each other.
It was from such a group of people that Erdini won respect.
Before he died, he spent his last drop of blood for this rough, sinful, inexplicable...but hard-to-break bond.
Even for Blackbeard, he really deserves the word "important".
"Luck?" Blackbeard was silent for a few seconds after listening to the parasite's narration, and then he replied, "No... it has nothing to do with luck. I asked him to go to sea to investigate because I had insufficient information.
The next...lack of consideration led to the death of my subordinates."
When Blackbeard said this, his tone seemed very calm, and as he said... He walked a few steps, came to a wooden barrel, and grabbed a bottle that was placed on the lid of the barrel, and someone didn't know who drank half of it.
rum.
"I'm sorry that Erdini left us." What he said next was more to the crew. "He is my most powerful subordinate, more effective than any of you lazy guys."
; He is also the purest tough guy I know, one of the few real men left on the Sea of Chaos, a hundred times stronger than those sissies who are strong on the outside but are strong on the inside; and...he has saved my life more than once..."
Having said this, Blackbeard lowered his eyes silently and paused for a few seconds.
Then, he raised the bottle of wine in his hand and continued: "Here's to Erdini, a loyal friend, a terrible speaker, and a villain who upholds the old-school pirate spirit."
After that, in a silent and solemn atmosphere, he spilled about a glass of wine on the deck, and then he picked up the bottle and drank a few sips.
After drinking it, Blackbeard seemed to vent his anger, and suddenly... he picked up the bottle and threw it at the parasite's face.
The parasite did not evade, not because he could not avoid it, but because such a flying wine bottle could not cause any harm to him at all.
Ping ring bell
With the sound of shattering glass.
Blackbeard turned around again and walked towards the cabin again.
Different from what Feng Bujue and the others predicted... Blackbeard did not choose to take action personally; he just left three words "Kill him" in an understatement after doing this and before leaving the deck. (To be completed.
