Finally solved.
Crocodile frowned and stared at a huge monster lying on the ground.
He also discovered the murals at the end of the Whale Spine Road, and then realized that he was not in Davy Jones's cabinet, but in a spire that sunk into the sea.
Then, Davy Jones and his gang should have gone deep into the spire.
If he had a choice, he did not want to risk entering the upper level of the spire. In addition to the risk of meeting Davy Jones and his gang, he might also be attacked by the monsters that appeared in the murals.
However, in order to leave here as soon as possible, he can only collect three keys and leave from the top of the spire, otherwise he will become a prisoner of Davy Jones and his gang, or drown in the sea.
After all, he was an ambitious person who had been dormant for more than twenty years. He quickly calmed down, made up his mind, and walked into the cave on the far right side of the spire.
Along the way, as expected, he encountered quite a few strange monsters, and more importantly, these monsters also had abilities that could not be explained by common sense, just like his Devil Fruit ability.
He went smoothly at first, until he encountered the monster in front of him.
When Crocodile walked into the cave, he saw a huge white bone shell lying on the ground with two rows of holes in the bones.
I thought it was safe here, but just when Crocodile was about to walk past the big white bone shell, it came to life, stretched out four slender legs like a mantis' sickle, and stood upright.
"Another monster."
Only then did Crocodile realize that this was a monster that lived in a white bone shell like a hermit crab.
It is one of the monsters in the spire - "Lagavulin". It is on the same level as the goblin hunk without the bonus of fire breath, but has different abilities.
Lagavulin almost always waits for prey to come to him like this. Since Crocodile is close to its hunting range, it has no reason to let the prey go.
As a result, a man and an animal started a fierce battle in the cave.
Logically speaking, Crocodile, as one of the Shichibukai, shouldn't have such a hard time dealing with Lagavulin.
But as time went by, he found that something in himself was continuously absorbed by this monster, causing his attack and defense power to weaken.
In the end, Crocodile broke out and quickly bombarded the entire cave with a sandstorm before knocking it down.
Otherwise, if he waits another quarter of an hour, he may really become the monster's meal.
However, the side effects of fighting Lagavulin still made him sit on the ground to rest, panting.
He looked down and saw that the wound that had been bandaged had torn open again, and red blood oozed out.
When Crocodile stood up again and was about to leave, he noticed a black crystal shining brightly in Lagavulin's exploded bone shell.
He picked it up, and it turned out to be a black stone amulet with a chain running through it. He looked at it over and over for a long time, but didn't see anything strange about it, so he threw it to the ground casually.
Before he left, he heard footsteps.
What appeared in front of him was a man wearing a round hat, and a strange combination of two people and a bear.
Three of them and one bear were also injured to varying degrees, mostly at the hands of those monsters.
"Krokdal?" Luo recognized the man in front of him and frowned, but he didn't know why this "Shichibukai" appeared here.
Crocodile did not recognize them, and looked at them with his eyes, trying to determine whether they were friends or foes.
------------------
Davy Jones and his gang successfully found an upward staircase, and it seemed that they could enter the second floor from here.
Everyone simply bandaged the burn wounds and spiraled up the stairs.
During this period, Bucky had been tinkering with the calendar stone, but he had not yet discovered its function.
They walked for about a quarter of an hour before reaching the end of the spiral staircase, and then appeared on a protruding platform.
They stood on the platform and took a bird's-eye view from a high position. They saw a deserted and gray city with lifeless houses dotted here and there, and not even a single person could be seen.
In front of the platform was a staircase going down. They walked down one after another and came to the outskirts of this dead city.
"You go and investigate the surrounding area." Davy Jones said, "But you must work in groups of two or three, and the two groups cannot be too far apart."
Of course, this rule does not include himself.
There were five crew members in total, and they were quickly divided into two groups, one was the men's group of Crowe, Bucky and Hachi, and the other was the women's group of Arrita and Michita.
Two groups were responsible for both sides of the main street, searching house after house.
Davy Jones stood directly in the middle of the street and strode forward.
This tedious and boring search process lasted about five or six minutes.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
With a snap, Arrita actually hugged Michita and broke out of a house through a broken window. She rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
The reason why they were so panicked was that the owner of the house - a huge green snake poked its head out from the broken window. The snake's eyes were unique and weird, making people feel chilled when they looked at them.
Hearing the sound, Crowe, Bucky and Xiaohachi, who were searching not far away, rushed out.
Arrita lowered her head and covered Michita's eyes with her hands. At the same time, she shouted a warning to the surroundings: "Don't look into the eyes of that snake! They made Michita see hallucinations and do crazy things. .”
Hallucination?
Only then did everyone notice that Mikita's hands and feet were twitching in Arrita's arms. Arrita covered her eyes for a while before she calmed down.
As a result, the crew members avoided looking at the green snake.
However, the strange snake had crawled out of the window and knocked down the entire wall.
It spits out red tongue, and there are two thick hind legs under its fat body, which looks very weird.
"I come!"
Bucky took out the golden round shield that had been carried on his back and held it in front of him, blocking his sight and allowing him to fire at the alien snake.
The sound of firing was heard, but the strange snake swung its tail extremely flexibly, knocking down all the bullets. Its scales were also extremely hard, and even the bullets could not penetrate it.
"Tsk." Bucky heard that something was not right about the voice and did not dare to look around. He still held up his golden shield to defend himself.
The strange snake ran wildly on its feet and rushed towards Bucky.
It trampled Bucky with its shield under its feet, opened its bloody mouth, exposed its fangs, and was about to bite Bucky.
Bucky didn't even need his shield, he split out of his body and flew away.
But Crowe took advantage of this opportunity and used "Shaving" to get closer quickly. With his eyes closed, he swung out the ten-edged cat claws based on his memory, and with a sneer from the sharp tip, he pierced the eyeball of the alien snake!
The alien snake made a harsh hissing sound and twisted wildly. The snake's mouth kept biting the air and sprayed out green venom.
Without the eyeballs, its threat is reduced by half.
Xiaoba carried six long knives and charged forward.
After Crowe missed the strange snake by flying, he turned around and cooperated with Xiaoba to attack from front to back!
laugh--
Crowe jumped up, stepped on the snake's back, and the ten-edged cat claws plunged into the eyes of the alien snake again.
Xiaoba, on the other hand, used the "Bent Scythe" and "Huazhou" to pierce the snake's belly and take out its internal organs.
The two of them pulled out their sharp weapons together and retreated to a safe distance, but in fact this was no longer necessary.
With a bang, the strange snake fell sideways to the ground and made no sound again.
A sudden fight ended here.
Bucky's upper body returned to his lower body, and then he lifted the golden buckler that was pressed against him.
Arrita also helped Michita up.
Michita's cheeks were slightly red and she was a little embarrassed.
"This snake is really troublesome, almost the same as that big red guy." Bucky frowned and commented. He was referring to the big goblin on the first floor. "But it should be the same as the first floor. This kind of snake may There’s only one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, rustling sounds came from the houses on both sides of the street, making people shudder.
Then, snake heads that were exactly the same as the strange snakes lying on the ground stretched out from the house, spitting out greedy messages towards them from a distance.
Bucky slapped himself hard, swallowed, and said, "In this lifeless city, these big green snakes won't be the only 'residents' left, right?"
After he said this, he wanted to slap himself again.
It turned out that in addition to the strange snakes, there were many strange birds with long necks flying in the sky, screaming like vultures.
They are waiting for Davy Jones and his gang to start a war with the alien snakes, and then they can eat the flesh and blood of the defeated ones.
Note: I have seen the feedback and will end this plot as soon as possible. However, the copy I chose is not popular. One Piece characters do not appear much, but it has been written, with a beginning and an end, and then I will return to the main line of the original work.
The eunuch of the plot is also a eunuch, so I have to complete it as much as possible, not too much, try to finish it within a few chapters, but it is a pity that my manuscript is saved, woo hoo...
I actually wrote this paragraph because I saw your opinions on the Alabasta chapter before and felt that it was too boring to follow the main line of the original novel. I wanted to do some tricks, but the steps were too big and it was too boring.
I'm willing to try because I hope you can enjoy watching it, but if you can't, forget it and choose a safer approach.
From now on, it is determined that the main line of the original work will be changed, and only a small part of the plot will be original.
Thank you for your support!
