Pirate’s Brood Order

Dark, gloomy, quiet, weird... as if everything is falling into the eternity of death, this dark sinking is bottomless, and you can't predict when the soul that fell into the abyss will wake up again.

All the people of Magnetic Drum Island shrouded in ice and cold were transformed into soldiers of the Legion, and they were carried on ferocious warships to Alabasta. Now the island is desolate and dead.

On top of the snow peak, Chopper stood at the top window of the attic and looked down at the lifeless island. Apart from reading and sorting out the medical materials, he spent the rest of his time leaning against the window looking at the empty island. The silver decoration is beautiful, and the most central position is a circle of crystal clear ice lake, which is so beautiful that there is no trace of popularity.

Mountain birds flew in shock, and thunder exploded on the flat ground!

"What happened?" Chopper suddenly grabbed the window and looked down the mountain. There was a hole in the icy lake that ran through the entire surface of the lake, and the surrounding trees seemed to be wiped silently by some strange force. As if gone, the falling snow and frost fell on the ground, and some ice lines hidden in the snow could be vaguely seen twitching, shrinking back to the gap in the lake from all directions.

That scene is like a faceless cheek opening its mouth, and countless tentacles returning from foraging are pouring back into the mouth. Under the dark lake, there seems to be a terrifying monster that is greedily eating, and it is about to swallow the entire magnetic drum. The island is devoured and disintegrated.

"I have to check it out!"

Chopper jumped out of the window with his short legs outstretched, and ran all the way downstairs. There was a small doorway exposed under the door that was repaired and nailed by wooden boards. A series of plum blossom-like footprints were left on the ground.

In the attic, it was just a silhouette overlooking the forest. When he was galloping close to the edge of the forest, the instinctive palpitations made Chopper stop in his tracks. Animals' instinctive alarm for danger made him strongly feel the air he breathed here. There is a terrifying danger hidden, as if a gigantic monster is waking up gradually from its breath under those snowy and frost-covered places.

Hunger, greed, tyranny, treachery... An unconcealable terrifying aura spread out along the center of the icy lake. Chopper swallowed fiercely, and the forest near the lake collapsed silently, as if being trapped The water and life were sucked away by the lake, and the radius of the devouring was still spreading outwards in circles. All life along the way was dispelled, and only the snowflakes floating in the sky became whiter and more beautiful.

Whoosh!

As if smelling the smell of flesh and blood, a thread of ice fell from the top of the tree, silently shooting at Chopper like a poisonous snake baring its fangs.

The fur all over his body stood up, and Chopper's face showed extremely anthropomorphic panic. He rolled and dodged on the ground in embarrassment, and ran back to the top of the mountain with all his strength.

Fortunately, it was standing at the edge of the mountain forest, and the ice cutting line fell back into the snow and frost without finding the target. Chopper immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore, and ran back as if escaping. In Xuefeng Castle.

"That icy lake is alive, and Chopper cannot be eaten by it!" It slowly calmed down its beating heart, and then put on the binoculars to look towards the icy lake from the attic. In the high-magnification binoculars, it saw There seemed to be a huge shadow under the icy lake, like a kaleidoscopic ice crystal palace.

The kaleidoscope is slowly turning to the inside, and in the deepest part of the depression, there seems to be a wriggling black shadow that is roaring ferociously with its mouth wide open.

Part of the above scene was observed by Chopper, and part of it was made up by his brain. In fact, there were no shadows roaring in the ice palace. On the contrary, it was unusually quiet, without the slightest sound.

In the space covered with ice lines, there is a vast whiteness, only a beating sarcoid condenses strangely in the center of the suspension. It is four meters high and 2 meters wide in an oval shape, like the embryonic form of an oviposit. The full ice line is like countless infusion tubes that transport nutrients, vibrating in resonance with the beating of the egg fetus.

The surface of the egg is covered with complicated patterns, which give people a strange and evil feeling at first glance. Through the thick membrane of the egg, one can vaguely see a curled up figure inside, like a slightly wriggling snake, and like It's a figure with an arched back, or a combination of the two entwined, slowly stretching its body and breathing.

thump!

Plop... plop...

Thump...thump...thump...thump...

The heartbeat is getting stronger and faster, it seems that there is a will that can't wait to wake up and open his eyes to see the world that killed him!

"Heh~ I'm dead!" A solid eye in the womb suddenly opened it, and what it saw was pitch black and deep, it seemed that only the white of the pupil had not yet solidified and floated out of the pupil.

There is no reverberation of words or tremor of voice, but the consciousness wakes up one step ahead of time in a weird way, and a feeling of emptiness and dead silence invades the consciousness, and Yarlin understands that this is because the body has not fully awakened the sense of emptiness .

"I don't like this feeling!" Sen Bai's eyes closed again, and the scene of death appeared in his consciousness. He gritted his non-existent teeth and whispered: "I hate death even more!"

"Death is an indescribable end with the lack of human language, but for the Legion, death does not mean the end. As long as there is a seed of the brood in the world, we can make a comeback!" Astu's will at the same time After waking up, Yarlin responded in his consciousness: "This time, I can feel that you chose death on your own initiative!"

"Heh~ No one would choose to die on their own initiative. After all, it was forced by the situation... I need a chance to get out of sight, so that I can hibernate in the dark again. Fortunately, I woke up again."

There was a short silence, only the sound of heartbeat, Yarlin opened his white eyes again, stared at the deep darkness and suddenly smiled: "How long will it take to get out?"

"...All the pheromones and consciousness fragments of the legion host (matrix) will be shared in each brood body. When it dies unexpectedly, it will be re-incubated in any brood body. After 1 month The mother absorbs all the nutrients in a brood to complete rebirth, and the brood withers.)”

A line of words directly appeared in Yarlin's consciousness, and at the same time, Astu's voice echoed faintly: "One month will pass soon. For the legion, death and time are meaningless existences. You will eventually have You'll get used to this feeling..."
