Island whales, like island turtles, are one of the behemoths unique to this world. Unlike the sea kings, which are so deformed and weird, they are just enlarged countless times in size in the original impression of the world.
50 years has just entered adulthood for island whales, and there is still the possibility of further growth in size.
But just now, it is shocking enough.
"Prepare for impact!!"
As Lovett shouted, Ajin jumped into the layer of flesh and blood to protect himself. Leviathan's six thick and powerful lower limbs suddenly stepped on the edge of the estuary, lifting its body weighing hundreds of tons into the sky.
"Ouch!!"
The mouth that was originally more than ten meters long and wide has now expanded to nearly thirty meters. In the process, the flesh and blood at the corners of his mouth were torn apart layer by layer, and he opened his mouth again like a snake, reaching an astonishing length of fifty meters and twenty stories.
!
Below the head are all legs, and above the neck are all mouths.
It's this sense of déjà vu.
With one bite, the smooth dark blue muscle layers overlapped and folded inward, the sharp teeth penetrated the flesh, and blood flowed wildly.
Bang!!
The impact came immediately.
Wallace lived up to expectations and fainted. Ajin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood with a wry smile on his face.
Who would have thought that the first life-and-death crisis they would encounter after entering the Grand Line would be brought about by their own... ship.
"After all, it's too weak!"
"Uh-huh?"
After being hit, the "high mountain" let out a soft moan and lowered its eyes the size of a warship.
Looking blankly at the Leviathan biting his stomach, Labu seemed to be wondering what it was.
The difference in size makes Leviathan's move similar to a teddy biting an adult's leg.
Or the newborn cub Teddy!
So Rab had no idea that this guy was planning to eat him.
But Leviathan is a bit stuck at the moment...
He was biting, but when he moved his mouth, he found that he couldn't open it further or bite it closed.
"Ya Bai, I seem to be...stuck again."
(￣w￣;)
I was stuck because I was too big before, but now I am stuck because I am too small.
This boat life... why is it so difficult!
But Leviathan's eyes quickly became full of fighting spirit again.
How can you give up the food that reaches your mouth?!
He worked hard with his upper and lower jaws and hung himself on the opponent's belly.
As a result, someone suddenly pressed the pause button on what should have been a fierce battle between giant beasts.
The Tweet Monster and the Hmm Monster were motionless, looking at each other, and their brain waves were interacting with each other.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Click!
The upper and lower jaws continued to exert force, and blood finally spattered out.
"Uh-huh!"
Σ(°△°|||)
Now Labu finally came to his senses. No matter how small he is, his belly is still soft!
With human panic in his eyes, Rab twisted his body and fell backwards.
Rumble!
Against the backdrop of the huge size of the whales on the island, it was as if the earth was shattering. Countless seawater surged up into the sky during the squeeze, and the waves were monstrous.
"Ooooooo!"
Leviathan let out a low growl from his mouth, like a puppy guarding its food. Even though it was thrown up at 90° perpendicular to the sea surface, it still held on to its teeth.
Looking at the ocean getting closer and closer to his sight, Lovett propped up his magic shield to protect himself from the wind and rain, and said calmly: "You try throwing me into the water?"
"Chirp?"
Leviathan was startled and decisively let go of his mouth.
Plop!
Boom!!
Rab leaned forward and fell into the ocean, and the roar continued.
The currents surged wildly in all directions, pushing the Levianson up and down and swaying.
The food in his mouth was gone, and a pitiful human face appeared in front of Lovett.
In response, Lovett took a sip of wine and raised his eyelids.
"Living creatures have vital points. Your hunting techniques are too crude and are still limited to the idea of dealing with the undead... When hunting creatures larger than you, remember to aim at the opponent's vital points next time, or create incurable wounds for the opponent.
The injury will drag you down, don’t bite it stupidly, do you understand?”
"Chirp?"
Clang!
A huge bone sword thirty meters long stretched out from the bow of the ship, and Leviathan looked at Lovett expectantly.
"Yes, that's it. Remember to add some bone spurs and barbs to carry poison."
"Chirp!"
"No, no, no. If it's too long, it will break easily. You need to adjust the size according to the size of the enemy."
"Chirp!"
One person and one boat started discussing with great interest how to hunt effectively, leaving Ah Jin, who had just crawled out of the flesh and blood layer, speechless.
This will teach the children bad things!
Is hunting what a boat is supposed to do?!
…
Wow…
Along the steeply undulating red earth continent on both sides, the Leviathan docked in front of a lighthouse.
At the corner of the cliff, Rab revealed half of his head and stared at Leviathan in horror. He was obviously frightened and was always ready to escape.
But Leviathan took one look at it and ignored it.
Whoosh!
The flesh and blood curled up into spear shapes, and the tentacles danced and shot out in all directions, scattering sand and gravel from the hard red soil.
Looking at the abominable warship with waving tentacles and dark red body, in front of the lighthouse, an old man wearing a floral shirt and beach pants had his eyelids twitching.
Judging from his decades of life experience, this ship is absolutely weird!
But now was not the time to think about this. When he noticed the young man coming off the boat, Kurokas nodded slightly.
"Welcome to the Grand Line, Captain Black Earl."
"Oh? You know me?"
Wearing a long black slim-fitting tuxedo that outlined a slender and tall figure, Lovett took the flying raven and put it on his shoulder, then pressed down the cane and folded it on top, and asked curiously.
"Captain Black Earl is humble."
In response, Kurokas smiled: "So far this year, there are only two new pirates whose names can be remembered by the world."
"In addition to Ace, the 'Fire Fist', there is you, the Black Earl."
"oh?"
The corners of Lovett's mouth quirked up.
"So...there are guys in front of you who want my head?"
This should not be taken as a nice word. Being famous comes with risks, especially for pirates.
"Yes."
Kurokas nodded truthfully and glanced at the Levianson: "But thinking about it... they can only add an achievement to your Excellency, and they will not pose a threat."
He can live peacefully in Twin Points, relying on Rab most of the time.
But Kurokas had a vicious vision. After all, he and Roger went to the Grand Line for three years and met many powerful people.
Now even the huge mountain-like Rab is scared of being bitten by the opponent's monster... let's just call it a ship. The fate of other pirate and hunter ships can be imagined.
Not to mention...
"Not to mention that Navy Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel led his subordinates to climb Upside Down Mountain along the ridge a few days ago, and Captain Black Earl appeared here today... The old man is not that stupid to think this is a coincidence."
The Black Earl appears here, and the flying squirrel must be aiming at him.
However, the facts once again proved that the flying squirrel failed again!
Having been able to put the mighty Vice Admiral at a disadvantage several times, the strength of this young man in front of him would definitely surprise the Grand Line pirates who consider themselves veterans.
"Interesting, the wisdom of the elderly?"
"You are smart and honest."
Lovett glanced at him and changed his tone.
"I'm sorry for hurting your partner. Children are ignorant and like to bite people randomly...Ajin."
"yes!"
He came up carrying a wooden box and placed it in front of Kurokas.
Bang!
When the lid is opened, the golden light is extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
"this……"
Kurokas's pupils shrank.
"In addition to the medical expenses I compensated, as well as the cost of purchasing the record pointer, I also got some useful information... Don't worry, it's all pirates' money, you can spend it as you like."
"I see, Captain Black Earl... seems to have done a lot of homework in advance."
Kurokas smiled bitterly.
When other new pirates come in, there are many who choose to rob him. What threat does an old man guarding a lighthouse pose?
Maybe you know some big secret!
Then……
These guys were overturned by Filibuster, and the beginning was the end.
In fact, guarding the lighthouse is just a side job. Kurokas is not only engaged in the record pointer business, but also some less taboo intelligence business.
These things are dispensable for veteran sailors, but they are very important for newcomers. They can help them get through the rookie stage quickly and avoid rushing in with a black eye and losing their lives.
He was so polite to Lovet because he knew what Lovet had done through intelligence means... In the past few months since the light appeared, nearly 3,000 people from the East China Sea Navy and pirates had died directly and indirectly!
When dealing with such a ruthless character who has caused a bloody storm in the city even before leaving the East China Sea, it is right to be polite.
"But we really don't need so much."
Kurokas shook his head, wanting to refuse.
"Is it much? Not much?"
"If you feel sorry for yourself..."
Lovett smiled slightly: "Just give me a copy of your logbook."
Kurokas's pupils shrank.
"Ha, hahaha... Captain Black Earl really loves to joke."
He smiled awkwardly and said: "Old man, I have been guarding this lighthouse for decades, and I have never been to the sea."
"oh?"
Lovett was not surprised by this answer: "But why did I hear from Red-Nosed Bucky that there is an old acquaintance of his in Twin Capes named Kurokas."
"Is your name Kurokas?"
Bucky…
Hearing this name, the corner of Kurokas's mouth twitched.
That damn brat!
Ah Jin's eyelids twitched behind him.
So that’s it, that’s it!
He had been wondering for many days why among the pirates with millions of bounties in the East China Sea, only "The Clown" Bucky survived?
At first, he thought the other party was lucky. After all, the Bucky Pirates focused on treasure hunting and rarely participated in fights.
Now he understands that the truth is this.
However!
But in fact, it's not.
Bucky is really lucky!
He regarded wealth as his life and was focused on hunting for treasure from beginning to end, completely ignoring the turmoil outside.
When Lovett was recovering from his injuries and was eyeing various big pirates, he didn't even show up, let alone being caught.
Later, the only time he showed up in Orange Town was to catch Zangao for the treasure Wu Nan left behind, but Lovett didn't go.
Are you convinced by this kind of overbearing luck?
"It turns out...it turns out to be...ahem, that red-nosed kid."
This time Kurokas smiled even more awkwardly, and looked at Lovett a little guiltily.
Kurokas has no doubt that he is involved in this matter.
Their group has been hiding for many years and has long been accustomed to concealing their identities. Only the crew members from back then remember each other.
With Bucky's character and Lovett's strength, I'm afraid that with a little bit of trickery, he could clearly tell the color of his underwear.
That guy had no loyalty to anyone but Roger.
"Understood."
Kurokas sighed helplessly, knowing that he could not escape, and said: "I do have a logbook... but it is mainly written to record the captain's physical condition. Many navigation processes are not clearly written."
captain?
Akin and Wallace looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
With Kurokas' age, who should be his captain?!
And to have Lovett come to ask for it in person, I'm afraid...
It won't be a simple role!
"And I knew there would be a day like this, so I tore off most of it, and even the last part was not left at all. I vowed to take it to the grave..."
There will always be a day...
And he can't die yet.
Glancing at Rab, who thought he was well hidden but was actually still very conspicuous, Kurokas asked: "Even so, does Captain Black Earl want it?"
That is not only a precious memory, a shocking treasure, but also a huge crisis!
Lovett didn't hesitate.
"But you didn't tear them all off after all. You...can't forget them, right?"
Hearing this, Kurokas' tone paused.
"But some things are better forgotten."
"Otherwise, don't you think that these decades of companionship with it are not important at all?"
"Rabu..."
Kurokas raised his head. Behind the red clay cliff, even though he was still frightened by Leviathan, Rab carefully looked at the lighthouse, worried about his safety.
"I just took the log."
Lovett laughed.
"If anyone comes to ask you again in the future, tell them directly that I have your logbook."
Boom!
The sea water surged up and splashed with water mist.
Kurokas turned around with shock on his face, looking at the confident and smiling Lovett in front of him, feeling as if he had seen Roger for the first time that year.
After being stunned for two seconds, he said: "Thank you!"
