Chapter 390: The Darkness of Murloc Island (2 in 1)
The lantern-sama that the octopus murloc said is actually a huge Neptune-level lantern fish, which appeared in the special chapter "Heart of Gold" of One Piece.
This special is about a treasure called pure gold, which can greatly prolong the growth of creatures illuminated by its light, and is told in the story by a man named Mischina Assier It was created by a talented scientist with the purpose of prolonging the life of her daughter Mischina Olga, who unfortunately suffered from an incurable disease at the time.
But the light released by the pure gold attracted Lord Lantern. In order to get the pure gold, Lord Lantern swallowed most of the island in one gulp, including the father and daughter of Mischina Assier.
In this way, more than two hundred years ago, until one day Mischina Olga accidentally escaped from the belly of Mrs. Lantern, and the story officially began.
Baal used the identity of the murloc Barr to establish the Murloc House. The purpose was not only to fulfill the last wish of his benefactor Fisher Tiger and promote the friendly relationship between humans and murlocs, but also to use the power of the murlocs to find the lantern. grown ups.
To be precise, it is the pure gold in Lord Lantern's stomach.
Although the lifespan of the flesh and blood avatar made from the fleshy fruit has been increasing with Baal's development of this fruit, so far, it has still not been able to break through the one-year cycle, which has prevented a certain plan of Baal's existence from working well. implement.
Therefore, it is very important to find pure gold, a treasure that can greatly extend the lifespan of living things.
Although this kind of treasure is at the cost of sacrificing the growth of the creature, that is, after the creature has been irradiated with pure gold, even if it is trained hard, the strength will not increase much, but this is for the flesh and blood clone whose strength cannot continue to grow , is not a problem at all.
Moreover, in a sense, pure gold is a treasure that can make people live forever, and it is simply something that some elderly and powerful people dream of, and it is a guarantee to maintain their rights and strength.
If Barr can obtain a treasure like pure gold, he can perform a lot more operations.
Immortality, imagine that no one in this world can resist this kind of temptation, even the Tianlong people in power.
"Really? Where is it now?"
The murloc Barr asked with a surprise expression on his face when he heard the octopus murloc.
The octopus murloc answered immediately: "According to those who came back, Mr. Lantern is now in the trench hundreds of miles away from Murloc Island."
"Is it the trench with frequent submarine volcanoes?"
Murloc Baal rubbed his chin,
puzzled.
"Yes, my lord, it is there."
The octopus murloc answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
Murloc Barr nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the room.
Seeing this, the octopus murloc followed behind, but there was a weird snigger on his originally respectful face.
None of the murlocs Baal went with the octopus murlocs. He called three loyal subordinates he had earned during this time, one was the lantern murlocs, the other was Ankang and the murlocs, and the last one was a A beautiful mermaid with pink tail and blue hair.
The strength of the three of them is quite outstanding, and they are all the best in murloc karate. Among them, the mermaid Liya has mastered murloc jujitsu.
The Murloc Baal now mastered the Murloc Jutsu from her. Relying on his outstanding talent and physical fitness, he easily mastered Murloc Karate and Murloc Jujitsu with the flesh and blood clone of the Tiger Sharkman.
"Master John, where are we going?"
The mermaid Liya quickly swam to the murloc Barr, took his arm naturally, and asked with a smile.
"I heard that someone has found the trail of Mr. Lantern. Now I have to confirm that it is the trench where the submarine volcanoes frequently occur."
The murloc Baal replied truthfully.
"Why did Mr. Lantern go there? I remember that there was a volcanic eruption there recently. Neptunes should not go there."
As soon as the murloc Baal finished speaking, the lantern murloc said suspiciously.
Then, he looked at the octopus murloc suspiciously.
When the Ankang murloc and Mermaid Liya heard this, they immediately turned to look at the octopus murloc, with distrust flashing in their eyes.
The trench with frequent submarine volcanoes is not a good place. In the face of natural disasters, even the mighty giant sea kings can hardly survive.
Therefore, it was hard for them to believe that Lord Lantern would appear there.
Seeing this, the octopus murloc's heart trembled, and he replied in a panic, "I don't know either, I'm just a messenger."
"Okay, don't worry too much. If there is a volcanic eruption, with our strength, as long as we work hard to go upstream, there will be no great danger. The sea is so big, and the whereabouts of Lord Lantern may change at any time. We must hurry up , find it before Lord Lantern leaves."
The murloc Barr said disapprovingly, his face full of confidence.
Since the murloc Barr said so, the others stopped talking, followed the murloc Barr, and quickly swam to the area with frequent submarine volcanoes.
Indeed, if the submarine volcanoes really show signs of eruption, with their strength, it is not difficult to avoid disasters.
The four of them swam very fast in the sea, and in less than an hour, the murloc Barr and the others arrived at the predetermined location.
At this time, there was no sign of the submarine volcano erupting, but because of the previous submarine volcano eruption, the soil here became extremely fertile, causing the seabed plants here to grow wildly, and then attracted a large number of fish schools.
With the light released above the head of the lantern murloc, the murloc Barr and others can clearly see this magical and beautiful underwater wonder.
"It seems that Mr. Lantern may really be here. There are a lot of fish that got lost here."
The murloc Barr looked at the densely packed fish in front of him and sighed softly.
"Indeed." Mermaid Liya agreed.
"Let's spread out and look for it. According to Lord Lantern's habits, it should emit light. As long as we don't have a distance attitude, we should be able to find it easily."
Murloc Barr said to the others.
Afterwards, he took out three lamp shells from his body and distributed them to three subordinates, telling him: "Be careful, don't be careless, and send a signal immediately if you encounter danger."
"Yes, Lord John."
The three replied in unison, and then took the lamp shells, and with the help of the light released by the lamp shells, spread them out quickly, Mr. Lantern.
"Then it's my turn."
Seeing the three leave, the murloc Barr smiled slightly, his eyes instantly lit up with a tinge of red light, and he activated his knowledgeable domineering aura.
For a moment, he dared to know the breath of life in a radius of several kilometers.
It's a pity that none of the auras was related to Mr. Lantern. Instead, they found a few little mice that had escaped from Murloc Street.
"It seems that the darkness of Murloc Street is not so easy to drive away. The octopus murlocs should belong to them. Tch, these guys don't think they can defeat me because of the large number of people."
The murloc Barr looked in a certain direction and sneered.
When the Murloc House is located in the Murloc Street, conflicts are inevitable, because the purpose of the Murloc House is completely opposite to the dark forces bred in the Murloc Street.
But the Murloc Baal is present in the Murloc House, and those dark forces in Murloc Street headed by Hody Jones are not at all the opponents of the Murloc House led by Murloc Baal, and they will easily wipe out everyone in the Murloc Street. Some local power.
However, several core members of the dark forces in Murloc Street, including Hody Jones, escaped with the help of geographical advantages and secret passages.
The murloc Barr also thought that these guys would not give up revenge easily, but he didn't expect to dare to provoke him so soon. He really didn't know what kind of confidence these guys had to fight him. Could it be the power of evil medicine?
Without hesitation, after spotting Hody Jones and the others, the murloc Barr quickly swam towards them.
The most direct way to expel the darkness is to destroy it, maybe it will be reborn, but it is impossible to continue to be born in a short time.
On the contrary, if it is left alone, it will gather new strength soon.
Just like Hody Jones now, when he escaped with people, there were only a few people, but now he has gathered a large group of people, including several sea beasts.
The octopus murloc is indeed from Hody Jones' side. After Hody Jones learned that the murloc Barr was looking for Lord Lantern, he deliberately set up the current situation. Of course, he is not without brains. The reason for luring the murloc Baal to come here is that it is cheap enough.
In addition, there is uncertainty. He feels that if he lures the murloc Baal here, even if he cannot kill the murloc Baal, he can still use the uncertain underwater volcanic eruption to kill the murloc Baal.
When Barr the Murloc led the Murloc House to the Murloc Street, Hody Jones found that the Murloc Barr was his sworn enemy, especially when the darkness of the Murloc Street was gradually swept away and humans began to appear behind the Murloc Street. He was afraid, he was afraid that the darkness of Murloc Street would be cut off.
Therefore, Hody Jones decided that no matter how much it cost, he must get rid of the murloc Barr, and use the death of the murloc Barr to break the foundation of friendly exchanges between humans and murlocs that had just started, and further deepen the relationship between humans and murlocs. the contradiction between.
"Hmph, you dare to come here directly, you are really brave enough."
Hody Jones has excellent night vision ability. When he saw the murloc Barr coming over alone, he said with a grim face.
When the others heard the words, they all had angry expressions on their faces, but more or less there was a trace of fear and awe in their eyes.
None of them forgot the way the murloc Baal showed great power in Murloc Street back then. They really felt the huge gap in strength between them and the murloc Baal.
"Don't be afraid, idiot, he's alone now, and we have this thing on our hands."
Knowing that the others were afraid, Hody Jones yelled loudly, and then took the newly developed poison from the Japanese bearded shark man Jieou.
Jieou is a genius in making medicines. He not only copied the evil medicine perfectly, but also improved its medicinal properties. The newly developed evil medicine is stronger than the original evil medicine, and can make the user more powerful in a short time. The power, although the price is to pay more life.
But this is not important to Hody Jones, as long as he can kill the murloc Barr, as long as the hatred between humans and murlocs can continue, it doesn't matter what happens to him and other followers.
It's a pity that his words didn't give much courage to the others around them. In the battle on Murloc Street, they actually used the medicine, but they were still defeated.
Even if the effect of the evil medicine has been strengthened this time, whether he can defeat the murloc Barr is still uncertain.
In order to boost the morale of the others, Hody Jones took the lead and directly grabbed a large handful of poison, threw it into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
"Jones, you eat too much."
Seeing this, Jieou, who knew the terrible aftereffects of the murderous medicine, exclaimed.
But Hody Jones didn't care at all, and continued to stuff the poison into his mouth, taking it four times in a row.
Soon, the effect of the murderous medicine dissipated in Hody Jones' body. The whites of his eyes were instantly bloodshot and red, and his body began to swell, becoming taller and burlier. His whole body clapped his muscles, and a terrifying aura emanated from him. .
"Hahaha~, that's great, that's it, this time, I must kill him."
Hody Jones felt the powerful force emerging from his body, and shouted excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a trident and rushed towards the murloc Baal who was slowly coming over at an astonishing speed.
"Young drug addict, you really are not afraid of death."
The murloc Barr shook his head when he saw Hody Jones rushing towards him madly.
Although false power is also power, he is very clear that this kind of power is like a hammer held by a child that is bigger than his own body. It has no effect at all except for random use. hurt yourself.
After gaining the power of the murderous medicine, Hody Jones moved very fast in the water. In less than a few seconds, he charged in front of the murloc Baal, and then raised the trident in his hand to stab the murloc Baal in the heart. .
But as the murloc Barr's eyes flashed red, he easily dodged Hody Jones' attack.
Thanks to the knowledge of the main body, the murloc Barr's knowledge is very powerful. With Hody Jones' current strength, it is impossible to touch a single hair of him.
Seeing that he missed a hit, Hody Jones didn't give up. The trident in his hand turned into afterimages and stabbed the Murloc Baal, but was still missed by the Murloc Baal one by one. , looking at him patiently.
"Is this your strongest strength? To be honest, the last time you were able to escape, you should have been hiding in the corner obediently. It's really stupid to jump out so quickly."
The murloc Barr looked at Hody Jones, who was a little dazed because he kept missing, and sneered.
"Shut up, you bloody traitor, how can murlocs get along with humans in a friendly way, I will never admit it."
Hody Jones was greatly stimulated when he heard the sarcasm of the murloc Barr, shouted hysterically, and then turned back to Jieo and the others.
Then, under the sneering gaze of the murloc Barr, he directly poured the large plate of poison in Jieo's hand into his own mouth.
A few seconds later, Hody Jones let out a scream, his hair turned white quickly, and so did his skin, but his body became taller and taller, and this trend continued.
After a while, Hody Jones doubled in size.
At this time, his eyes had turned completely red, his pupils had completely disappeared, and he started to yell as if he had lost his mind.
However, he seemed to have identified the murloc Baal, and when his body stopped growing, he rushed directly to the murloc Baal.
"It's over, it really is an idiot."
Facing the menacing Hody Jones, the murloc Baal didn't even move lazily, a red light flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and sighed.
As soon as the words fell, Hody Jones' body suddenly shrank like a leaky balloon, and his whole body turned into a thin old man with white hair.
