On the "Golden Predator" ship, only the captain's and first mate's rooms have private bathrooms.
The captain's cabin is Raymond's residence, and the first mate's cabin is occupied by Gulev and Yoselin. Originally Gulev wanted to give the room to the little princess, but Anna said without hesitation that she wanted to study the route with Raymond in the same room.
Sleep there when it's late... As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up.
Raymond and Anna had lived in the same apartment for a long time when they were at Philip Academy. They didn't feel any awkwardness when they were sharing a room. Everything was the same as before. But they had just finished discussing "Nightmare Ghosts"
Not long after the chart was released, that girl Ilya knocked on the door, clamoring to come and take a bath and sleep on the big bed...
This was great, the two women slept on the big bed, and Captain Raymond Tangtang meditated on the sofa all night.
...
A few days passed by.
Raymond and the others sailed towards the "Nightmare Ghost", but before they reached their destination, they encountered a giant long-distance freighter numbered "5524" on the route. This was an ordinary coal freighter, loaded with black coal.
It looks like it has just sailed out from a certain mining area with a full load. In the big maritime world, coal mines on the seabed are rich in reserves and are not valuable. Therefore, even pirate ships will not patronize ships carrying this resource. The cost of robbery is high and the benefits are too high.
Low is too low...
When Jin Ya's men observed the ship while looking over it, Raymond was suddenly surprised when he heard the number.
Because on the Niguel Volcanic Islands, he killed Young Master Umu of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, peeled off a piece of that guy's obsession, and obtained the information about the giant cruise ship "5524"... The Giant Whale
The "Ackerman Pathogen" was obtained from a mysterious person on this ship!
Obviously, this is a scientific research ship disguised as a coal ship.
"Captain, that freighter may be the secret experimental team of the World Headquarters... I want to go up and have a look. If the Black Sea's Ackermann virus is leaked from here, I will destroy them myself...
"
Lulu has a pure nature and a strong sense of justice. To put it more simply, this kid is a stick-in-the-mud guy.
He believes that science exists to benefit mankind, not to destroy mankind. In order to achieve their goals, some evil scientists use innocent human beings to conduct virus experiments by any means. This is an act that blasphemes science and is inhumane, and should be destroyed.
Two years ago, Philip claimed that these guys killed more than a million people with viruses.
The "Ackermann virus" experiment was once a project led by Lulu, but now it has become a large-scale terrorist plan. He feels that he has an obligation to end it with his own hands and erase the existence of those mistakes.
...
"Okay, I'll go with you."
As a captain, Raymond naturally could not watch his crew take risks alone.
Although this guy Lulu is very strong, sometimes he can't turn his head, which makes people feel uneasy.
He thought for a while and said to Jinya on the side: "Uncle Gulev, Lulu and I will get on the boat to have a look later. If there is really trouble... you should stay away and use artillery to deter the World Headquarters.
The secret experiment team is definitely not that simple."
Gulev suggested: "Let me go with you, as many people as there are helpers."
Raymond shook his head: "No, this is a raid and the risk is very high. If we encounter a situation, Lulu and I have the means to escape... It's better for you to stay on the boat."
"All right!"
Gulev thought it was right and nodded.
He then ordered to his subordinates: "Show the pirate flag and force the freighter to stop!"
...
The two ships were getting closer and closer, and Raymond could clearly sense that there were several powerful "qi" forces hidden on the cruise ship. Obviously, this was not a guard force that ordinary cargo ships should be equipped with.
However, this also made him feel relieved, at least he didn't sense that kind of powerful and ridiculous existence...
The freighter was forced to stop. The other party thought it was an ordinary pirate robbery, paid a ransom, and was successfully released. While the two parties were negotiating, Raymond and Lulu had secretly sneaked into the freighter.
The deck of the freighter was filled with ordinary extraordinary beings. Raymond and the two easily avoided the patrols and sneaked into the cabin.
It was like a luxurious palace hidden in a dilapidated village. The sharp contrast made the two of them immediately stunned by the scene in front of them!
The cabin that was supposed to be full of coal was actually only the exposed layer on the deck used to confuse people. The huge underground cabin was transformed into a secret experimental base.
This is a... high-end experimental base that at first glance far exceeds the technological level of the Black Sea!
The tens of thousands of square meters of the ship's cabin are divided into several areas, including the slave holding area, the testing area, and the sealed experimental cabin area...
Both Raymond and Raymond were familiar with those howling zombies. They were humans who couldn't bear the mutation of the Ackerman virus and turned into zombies... In another area, they did see those full of green fluorescent liquid.
The jar contains grotesque biochemical monsters, which are "stitched monsters" formed by splicing the limbs of various monsters onto human bodies...
And the huge transparent glass jar in the center with countless instrument tubes and a height of ten meters contains a huge humanoid monster... the body of a giant, the fanged head of an ogre, and the arms covered with scales.
, skin exuding metallic luster, and the giant tail of a lizard.
It seems that this experimental base is not only researching viruses, but also other things.
"Stitch monster? Someone is actually doing experiments on xenobiotic limb transplantation here?!"
Lulu saw the experimental products in those jars and immediately guessed what research was going on here.
"Hasn't the World Government already banned such human experiments?! Since this is the experimental research base of the World Government, how come there are these things?"
He was puzzled and looked carefully at the suture monsters in the jars, and then exclaimed: "Is it possible that the guys here have broken through the 'organ rejection' and 'gene blocking' technology between heterogeneous creatures? No...those
The experimental subjects seem to be semi-finished products made of spliced corpses. But if the corpses are spliced together and their souls have been dispersed, how can they be brought back to life? If they are soulless puppets, this kind of experiment will be completely meaningless..."
"Huh..."
The surprise on the big-headed son's face had not faded when he suddenly saw clearly the old man on the central experimental platform who was busy splicing the corpse together, and he was surprised: "Hasn't that guy Falon been publicly executed by the World Headquarters? How could he still be alive?
?”
Raymond followed his gaze and saw Doctor Strange in a white coat and a black breathing mask, and he immediately recognized him.
This old man is a character on a background board in the later part of the game, the legendary Frankenstein, S-class wanted criminal, Faron Lucis. According to time calculation, this guy was executed by the World Headquarters five years ago.
!His crime is crazy limb transplant experiments and virus experiments, which have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent humans...
This guy's "resurrection" appeared here, which is full of tricks. But it is obvious that this Faron is the source of the entire Black Sea plague, and Philip is the culprit of millions of people being infected and killed.
...
No need to think about it, Raymond could guess with his feet that the reason why Falon Lucis was not dead was probably due to some conspiracy of the World Headquarters.
Obviously, someone with the title of S-class wanted criminal is definitely not easy to mess with.
Although the "qi" in Falon Lucis is not very strong, it should not be underestimated.
Beings like scientists cannot use "Qi" to judge their strength at all. Just like Lulu, his "Qi" doesn't seem to be much stronger than Raymond now, but one injection of those perverted medicines can kill him in minutes. Raymond pressed him to the ground and rubbed...
The poor rely on mutation (Raymond), the rich rely on technology (Kelin), and the scientists rely on potions (Lulu)... This is a wise saying in the game.
"that..."
Raymond looked at Lulu beside him. He originally wanted to ask him if he could beat the old man. If he couldn't beat him, they would retreat strategically first and then make a long-term plan.
But when I turned around, I saw that the big-headed son had already begun to untie the bandage in his hand...
Dele, no need to ask, this fight will definitely be fought.
He knew very well that once this guy Lulu got into trouble, he would definitely not be able to turn back.
"This scum of the scientific community must not be allowed to remain unpunished... I will destroy this evil experimental base!"
Lulu's eyes were firm, showing a seriousness that had never appeared before.
After a pause, he said to Raymond: "Captain, I will fight with that guy in a while. You should be careful to avoid it. It is best to leave the ship...I am going to use the 'Pharmacion No. 5'."
Saying that, the big-headed son did not hesitate, and directly took out five brightly colored medicines, namely red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, and injected them into his body one after another.
"..."
Just as Raymond was about to say something, he pursed his lips and swallowed it. This guy was inserting the needle faster than he could speak.
He knows these potions of Lulu, which are super-enhancing potions specially prepared by Datou's son based on his own physique.
Respond respectively to attack increase, defense increase, life increase, speed increase, damage increase...
Five potions can instantly give him super abnormal fighting power.
Of course, he also has No. 6 and No. 7, two desperate potions with extremely side effects that will kill half of your life if you use them...
This is why Lulu, whose main job is a scientist, and whose side job is the true combat effectiveness of a combat doctor.
.....
"Lulu, then be careful..."
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Raymond warned that in a battle of this level, even he would not have much room to participate.
"Got it, Captain."
Lulu injected the medicine, and her body has begun to change.
His rosy skin suddenly turned green, veins popped out, and his muscles swelled visibly. But in an instant, this big-headed son with small arms and legs turned into a burly man... Moreover, His muscles have just begun to expand...
Raymond had never let Lulu take action before, because the movement and traces of the big-headed son's action were too loud and highly identifiable.
He was still not at ease, so he said again: "You really can't beat me, remember to retreat first..."
"good!"
Before he could finish his words, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit him, and Lulu beside Raymond suddenly ejected like a cannonball, and his speed was not even much slower than teleportation!
"Roar~"
At that moment, the big-headed son let out a low roar like a lion's roar, and his clothes were stretched to pieces by the bulging muscles. He just ran a few steps and suddenly turned into a green giant more than five meters high! That gnarled
The green muscles give the naked eye the feeling of an explosion of power. His originally huge head is now in proportion to that burly and strong body!
"Here comes...[Hulk] Lulu!"
Raymond looked at the Hulk who appeared in front of him with a complicated expression, and his scalp felt numb.
Even if it's not the first time I've seen that terrifying force tearing apart, it's still a huge visual impact. The sound of his kicking and running was like the sound of cannon fire. The sound of running was so loud that even the entire freighter followed him.
There was a faint tremor. There was no doubt that this big guy could easily dismantle the entire freighter!
A moment after the explosion, the Hulk's tall body appeared next to Falon as if teleporting. Without waiting for any reaction from the other party, he kept clamping the old man's neck with his big hands and took advantage of the situation.
He pressed it to the floor, then raised his hammer-like fist and struck it down.
Bang, bang, bang...
The steel plate on the ground was dented by the heavy punches one after another, and the bones cracked and cracked... If it were a normal person, his head would have turned into a rotten watermelon.
The punch hit the head, and the terrifying force of the punch sent out ripples in the air that were visible to the naked eye.
"Killed?"
Although Raymond expected this in his heart, he also knew that it was unlikely. Although he didn't know what abilities that [Frankenstein] Falon had, it was possible that Lulu used Potion No. 5 directly to get started, and he would definitely not be killed so easily.
.
Sure enough, at this moment...
The old man whose head was hammered under the floor has extraordinary tenacity. Although he was unable to break free from the Hulk's iron grip for the time being, his fingers outside the pit were still weakly hooked...
As if some switch was flipped, the entire laboratory lit up with a red light warning of intrusion.
Click, the sound of the door lock opening was heard.
In an instant, dozens of jars filled with green liquid in the experimental base suddenly opened, and fluorescent green liquid flowed all over the floor. The stitched monsters were no longer soaked in the liquid, as if they had come to life. They broke free from the entanglements around their bodies.
All kinds of intubation tubes stepped forward ferociously, and surrounded Lulu...
Roar~
Dozens of stitch monsters came at once, and the Hulk transformed into Lulu had to withdraw to fight. He punched hard and hit those stitch monsters hard...
But what is surprising is that the fist that could have penetrated the thick steel plate actually failed to penetrate the flesh-and-blood suture monsters. The monsters were punched away by the Hulk like rubber balls, flying upside down and smashing a piece of equipment.
, but one by one they stood up from the ruins intact and continued to rush over!
Able to endure beatings without getting tired, the strength of these stitch monsters is quite astonishing!
...
"The great power of the Deep Sea Behemoth, the fire breathing of the Goron Beast, the defense of the Earth Scale Dragon, the speed of the Gale Wolf..."
Raymond was also shocked when he saw this group of suture monsters with abnormal fighting abilities. He could distinguish the bodies of dozens of monsters from those suture monsters.
"These stitched monsters actually possess some of the abilities of Warcraft?"
He has seen countless stitched puppets in the game, but none of them are as strange as these guys in front of him.
That Frankenstein not only sewed up the corpses of the monsters, but also transplanted the original abilities of those monsters to the host. It was equivalent to a suture monster possessing one or several abilities of the monsters!
"No wonder the World Headquarters didn't kill this Falon, but let him conduct secret experiments in such remote sea areas..."
Raymond probably understood the significance of the existence of this experimental base.
If Falon's "World of Warcraft Limb Transplantation" technology is really successful, then the World Headquarters can easily create a team of orc warriors with super combat effectiveness...
"Hey... World of Warcraft ability transplantation, this seems a bit familiar..."
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred,
When Raymond saw these stitch monsters, he immediately thought of something and looked shocked.
"The final result of this experiment...could it be the World Headquarters' Artificial Devil Fruit Project that was revealed later in the game?!"
