"Your Highness Keya?!"

Zoro and Sanji exclaimed almost at the same time, which obviously also showed who rescued Luffy at the critical moment. It was Keya who had previously had the blood shadow on his body wiped out by garlic juice. However, her appearance at this moment has obviously changed a lot, and a pair of pterosaur-like wings are flapping rapidly behind her, and this is the source of her flying ability.

"Stop talking! Get it!"

Holding Luffy with her left hand, the flying Keya obviously no longer cared to pay attention to her own abnormality, and her right hand quickly dissociated and turned into several flesh and blood tentacles, killing Zoro, Sanji and others on the ground. They picked them up together, and almost at the same time, the boiling lava completely swallowed up the location where everyone was before, completely covering this ancient island in a sea of ​​​​fire like hell!

new challenge

"The Little Garden Island was completely annihilated from the sea due to the volcanic eruption?"

Although Nami's words were still calm, the surprise in them that only she knew was clearly impossible to fake.

"Well, according to the report of the personnel observing the route, it should have happened yesterday. Well, now there is one less foothold in the sea area near the entrance of the great route."

Because through the phone bug, Robin's voice can still hear the howling wind in the surrounding deserts. Although the desert can be excavated purposefully based on the information analyzed by the blood drop stone, this job is not that simple. After all, time has passed. It's too long, even if someone with mole ability specializes in digging for help, but as long as it involves archeology and the like, Robin can always get a Frenzy BUFF spontaneously, so she doesn't have to worry about tiring herself.

"I understand, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Nami frowned. There is no doubt that she absolutely does not believe that the volcanic eruption of Little Garden Island is caused by natural causes. The island has existed from ancient times to the present, which proves that its geographical structure is stable. The two giants on it alone fight every day. There is no way to destroy its basic geographical form.

"It can't be that those idiots threw explosives into the crater this time to watch the fireworks, right?"

Thinking of Luffy and his friends, Nami felt that she should have found the culprit behind the disappearance of Little Garden Island, but... Thinking about it carefully, although Luffy and others are indeed role models among naughty children, they don't seem to be careless yet. To the extent of causing destruction, using gunpowder to blow up volcanoes, a game with a maximum death coefficient should not appear, and Zoro and Sanji will not just watch something happen that may destroy everyone, so this guess It should be voidable.

However, the fact that Little Garden Island disappears is right in front of us after all. And if you want it to disappear due to a volcanic eruption, the means required will definitely not be simple. According to Nami's current knowledge, the only feasible way should be to use a large number of explosions to blow up the large volcano above it. In this case, the current MR5 agent of Baroque Works, the Explosive Man, is indeed capable of doing it. However, regardless of whether the ability user can survive the surrounding volcanic eruption after achieving this, the premise of this assumption alone is that a powerful Devil Fruit ability user is required.

And this idea is indeed worthy of careful treatment.

Nami's red eyes narrowed slightly, and then she dialed the phone number of Baroque Works at hand, and her tone was particularly casual: "Where is MR5?"

"Um, I'm staying in the Ciggu King's Palace according to your order. Do you have any instructions? BOSS."

MR5's answer was quite respectful. As one of the people monitoring Kosa, Nami obviously didn't need him to do too much, and her purpose this time was to ask clearly to see if the agent had really gone to the small town. There is a garden there, and now it seems that what happened on the small garden island has nothing to do with it.

"Pay attention to the sea surface. If any unusual pirate ships appear, don't alert the enemy. I need you to report to me as soon as possible. The Little Garden Island has disappeared recently. I want to observe the pirate data after losing this foothold."

As she calmly ordered her words, Nami's heart suddenly tightened. She hung up the phone, knowing that she had come to a conclusion.

It's certain that Luffy and his team must have encountered a new enemy. In the original work, it was MR3 and MR5 who were their enemies on Little Garden Island, but even in the original work, they didn't go to the point of letting Little Garden Island be buried with them. Now that it's ruled out that Luffy and his friends are looking for trouble on their own. The possibility of exploding the volcano also rules out the possibility of being the original enemy, so the only thing left in the end is something that seems impossible - a new enemy. Moreover, most of this new group of enemies are strong men with powerful abilities.

"Huh... Even though I know that you are excellent at causing trouble, this time it really opened my eyes."

Shaking her head slightly, Nami neatly denied the possibility that it might be a character appearing in the original work. After all, almost no original characters from this period could fit into this situation. The three generals' Akainu actually has the lava fruit that can detonate volcanoes. Conditions, but to be honest, let’s not talk about whether Akainu, one of the three generals, has time to go to the remote Garden Island. If it is really Akainu, there is probably no need to consider collecting the body of Luffy and his party, including the ashes. I probably can't even rub it up.

Therefore, if you really want to assume that Luffy and his friends are still alive, you have to accept the stability of the plot being out of your control, and accept the possibility of new characters and even new enemies appearing.

"Interesting... Although, it's not like I didn't expect this possibility..."

Despite her words, the corners of Nami's mouth were slightly raised. She did not reject this sense of challenge, just as she did not mind when things were out of her control. After all, if she is different, it is that she does not believe that everything needs to be completely mastered. The reason why this world is a human world is because there are too many possibilities within it. If you master it completely, you are actively obliterating the wonderful possibility that is presented to you. As for the being who has the ability to take on this boring responsibility, it can only be a god, not a human being.

Standing up from her seat, Nami slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. In the clear night sky, a huge full moon was gently gazing at the world below. Bathed in the water-like moonlight, Nami Smiling slightly, at this moment, she finally felt a hint of long-lost excitement.

"No matter who you are, no matter what you are...if you want to compete on the same stage, then come. No, it should be said that I am looking forward to this feeling."

Nami squeezed her fingers with a click, and there was no fear on her face. Since she had created her own country, her own group, and her own power, she had no reason to refuse or be afraid. Challenge, rather, it gave her the feeling of truly adventuring in a world.

On the distant sea, the Golden Meri, which had barely escaped from the Little Garden Island, was obviously not in good condition. Clear burn marks could even be seen on the hull. The horror of the destruction of an island was unimaginable, but it seemed to be just right. It was because such an explosion dispersed most of the giant sea kings around, that the Meri did not encounter the island-eating goldfish monster this time that originally required the two giants to work together to kill it.

"So, I'm going to find a ship's doctor."

Luffy, who had his belly and arms wrapped in bandages, opened his mouth and spoke. This time, no one objected, including Zoro, who was always the most resistant to Luffy's weird ideas. The reason was very clear. Except for Luffy, Usopp and Kirby on one side were all covered in bandages. Sanji and Nozhiko, who were better, were not much different, but it was Soda who was supposed to be the most injured in every battle. This time, Long rarely suffered any injuries because his opponent was weaker.

And this situation also made everyone realize the horror of the Grand Line to a large extent. In fact, if the Straw Hat Pirates were not lucky enough, such as the injuries suffered by Luffy and others, I am afraid that there would have been attrition.

"I'm sorry...Although I can control the power in my body now...but I still can't make everyone get better..."

It was Keya who spoke. Her appearance looked the same as before, but her eyes had completely turned pure ruby ​​red. This subtle change obviously indicated a good situation. The blood shadow that controlled Keya's body before obviously tried its best to concentrate all the main consciousness inside it when shaping it, so it could produce various actions similar to intelligent creatures. But unfortunately, this part of the concentrated The conscious body was probably destroyed by the bottle of garlic juice thrown by Kebi.

And the part of power that was originally instilled in Keya's body and tried to assimilate Keya's body lost its original control, and thus chose Keya's own brain and consciousness as its master. This is why Keya can use this part. The root cause of power.

Although the power is definitely not comparable to Nami, or even to the level of Blood Shadow, it is enough for Keya to use this part of the power to convert blood to heal basic wounds. This is why Luffy, Kebi and others did not bleed to death. reason.

"What are you talking about? Without you, we would all be a bunch of ashes on Little Garden Island now. So don't say you are useless. In that case, we guys would have no choice but to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. .”

Usopp, who was covered in bandages, was joking with Keya with a smile. No matter what, the sniper's efforts were the best reward. Judging from the current situation, the power in Keya's body has now been completely integrated with her, which means that in the future, there is no need to worry about possible rampages. This blond girl who was accidentally infected with blood thirst is after all Get rid of this terrible curse with the help of your companions.

"That's it. Moreover, although Miss Keya can't do anything about the injuries on the bones, according to what Mr. Luffy said, we may be able to find a doctor who is better at treating it."

Kebi was the most seriously injured this time. His left arm and leg were crushed to pieces under North's torture. It was obviously impossible for Keya, who had little ability, to reshape his body, but with What was different from before was that although Kebi was now considered completely disabled, there was not much frustration on his face and eyes, but more of a sense of courage and confidence.

It's no wonder that any timid person who takes a step toward courage can always feel the inner strength of the human soul. It has nothing to do with the weakness and incompleteness of the body, but the energy that can support the shining of the soul.

(PS1: Hmm~ Heina will have trouble sleeping and eating if he doesn’t master everything~ Heina will feel unhappy if she doesn’t take a challenge~ This is the biggest difference, right)

(PS2: Keya has become a perfect power clone~ So, have you guessed the cool operation of the Blood Fruit?)

Reason for ridicule

"Ahem...So, why do you want to save me?"

The pale Jindrella tried her best to ask questions. Yes, although she did make Keya suffer a lot before, this time when Keya rescued people, she did not have the freedom to let her stay on the island. It was left to fend for itself, but it was mercifully rescued. Because there was no place to go for the time being, it was placed in the room of the Meri.

But this kindness is undoubtedly an unbearable humiliation for Kindrella. In particular, although Keya saved Kindrilla's life, her ability was not enough to erase the scars, and Sauron's blow left a huge scar on Kindrilla's chest that almost ran through her entire front. Scars like this on half of the body may be regarded as proof of honor for men, but for women who rely on their own beauty to earn reputation, it is undoubtedly a complete sign of failure.

"You shouldn't ask us this question, because you were still alive at the time, so Miss Keya saved you."

Smiling, Sanji put down the prepared food next to Kindrilla. Sanji's answer to Kindrilla was quite gentle, but the meaning was quite obvious: If you don't want to live, you don't need to blame the person who saved you. , just go and seek death yourself.

"Tch... Anyway, my mission has failed. Even if you save me now, I won't survive for long..."

Shaking her head self-deprecatingly, Kindrella reluctantly sat up, her tone full of disappointment: "And...even if I don't punish me for failing this mission, my use value as a woman is gone. You might as well Leave me on that island so that at least my death will not be too painful."

"If you want to lament your future fate, you can take it easy first. I do have something to ask you. Why did the Devil Fruit user appear in front of us twice?"

Zoro, who was sitting in the corner with Wado Ichimonji on his side, had obviously been holding this question in his mind for a long time. Although he knew that Devil Fruit would reappear, common sense meant that it would take a while after the death of the previous ability user. The same fruit may be condensed again. But this time, the frequency of the appearance of these two ‘Noses’ was a bit too fast.

"Oh, I thought you wanted to ask something... That's why I said I won't live long, because my abilities are also the property of the organization... And since I'm useless, they will send someone to recover it This fruit. Of course...the price for recycling it is my life."

Although Jindrella's words were calm, the fear in them could be vaguely detected, and her words clearly made everyone understand what she meant.

"Actually... someone can directly recycle the Devil Fruit? That's why we encountered two enemies with the same fruit in a row."

Nokigao's brows were also frowning a little, because this meant that an organization with such ability was definitely not a small organization that could be achieved overnight, but an organization with rich knowledge and foundation, and even mastered the ability to recover Devil Fruits. A secret ancient existence, and such an organization often means that it has the patience and experience of an old wolf, and can hunt endlessly.

"It's interesting that we encountered such a powerful enemy when we just set out to sea. However, we will not let you take Keya away."

Luffy, who rarely listened carefully to what others were saying, had an excited expression on his face. It would be better to say that for him, Kindrella's statement that 'our organization is very powerful' made him instinctively have a competitive mentality. Although Luffy has never been malicious towards ordinary people, he is just an ordinary person. The boy who wants to become the Pirate King has a natural pursuit of words such as 'champion' and 'strongest' deep in his heart.
