Kena's words made Marky silent for a while.
He could not sympathize with Kona, who had survived alone. However, he could still feel the pain and anger wrapped in hatred from Kona's expression and tone. The reality of that anger made Marky feel a little desolate in his heart.
"Who gave you this body and state, Hugh...or Billa? I remember that they were the only ones who should still be outside the village when the massacre came."
Ma Ji's expression darkened, "It's Xio. Bila hurried back after being attacked in the village, so..."
The words were not spoken, but the meaning was already obvious.
"..."
Kona sighed, "I didn't expect it to be Xio."
Xio is a very unsociable guy in the village. He is a young man who wants to go to sea as a group. He does not respect the rules of hunters, but wants to explore the world outside the sea. It can be said that he is an outlier among this group of hunters. .
I can’t say that I’m not welcome, but I’ll still give him a few winks when I see them. Of course, the winks here are very serious, and it’s just a matter of moving your eyelids.
"Can you take me to see him?" Kena asked.
Marki said nothing, but shook his head in denial.
"Although I feel like you didn't lie to me, I can't take you to see him."
Kona frowned, "You can't stop me. I've seen a wider world outside and I'm no longer the little girl I once was."
"Haha, don't be too inflated, girl. Although the strength of us dead guys can no longer be improved, our combat experience and skills are still improving."
Ke Na did not continue to speak. Some words would really hurt people if she said them.
When the power has surpassed a level, no matter how gorgeous the skills are, they will become useless. After obtaining the Devil Fruit, after a year of adapting, her physical quality has not only risen to one level, not to mention that with strength and Kirin is best known for its speed.
The dragon controls the ocean, the phoenix controls the sky, and the unicorn is based on the earth. As for the air-trapping that comes with the unicorn form, this is just a characteristic of the auspicious beast. According to Yuyuko, if she can use the power of the fruit to the same extent as Kaido, she can deal with even Kaido, a humanoid monster, for a long time. And Zamabuji...
Although there are three levels of hunters who have awakened their domineering energy due to this powerful and stressful hunting environment, the gap is still huge. Not to mention, the hunters have not yet sorted out and explored a set of theoretical solutions for the use of domineering like Amazon Lily.
Although the domineering skills cultivated without this kind of experience summary can produce strong people, it will still require too much talent after all.
Kona sighed and walked straight in one direction.
The battle with Marky had already allowed her to figure out a lot of information, otherwise Kona could directly pass through the area guarded by Marky using some communication methods in her memory.
The most important piece of information is that these resurrected undead are truly intelligent and even retain memories of their lifetimes. This is information that cannot be obtained from the people at sea.
Hunters generally don't speak during battles, so those guys only saw the superb hunting skills of the undead, but had no way of knowing whether they had memory and thinking abilities. They could only suspect through clues obtained through constant battles, which could not be confirmed at all. . It can be said that those guys may not know as much as Kona does. Because those guys secretly poisoned the river when they massacred the village in the first place, so they only knew part of the characteristics of the hunters, and the rest could only be experienced with their lives. But the experience may be there, whether you can live to tell others is another question.
Similarly, due to the lack of systematic summary of domineering, Ke Na has actually faintly discovered the sudden aura.
Weakness, sluggishness.
Before, Kona thought it was just an ordinary animal. After all, when she 'questioned' the guys on the boat before, Kona learned that they had directly released poison gas on the entire island. This is why the creatures on the island are almost extinct. reason.
The methods must not be cruel.
At first, Kona felt that maintaining such a fruit ability, coupled with the basic understanding of hunters, Kona directly ignored the weak aura, but now Kona has almost confirmed that the aura is the source of the ability, the so-called A young hunter for Hugh.
Ignoring Ma Ji, Kona jumped into the air and disappeared instantly.
Before Marki could react, he had already lost sight of Kena and was stunned. Then he immediately realized that the direction where Kena disappeared was exactly where Xio was. He screamed in his heart and quickly went to that person. The direction rushed over with all its strength.
At the same time, Marki was greatly shocked mentally. If he had followed the speed just now, even his initial attack would not have had an impact on Kona. What has this former little girl next door experienced over the years? !
Marki couldn't imagine that now he just hoped that Ke Na didn't come back with malicious intent.
Thinking of this, Ma Ji took out a horn flute from his waist.
"Dudududu..."
The strange flute sound sounded in the jungle and spread slowly in the jungle. Soon many people noticed this, and with the sound of the flute, many hunters' attacks also stopped abruptly. They retreated into the jungle and evacuated quickly.
The monkey-faced man who survived the disaster lay on the ground breathing heavily. Of the five people who originally came in, now only he and the rosacea-nosed uncle were left. He was now covered in broken grass leaves and dirt. It was obvious that he had made a lot of efforts to survive just now. On the other hand, it is much more normal for a big man with rosacea.
"I didn't expect you to hide your strength!"
The big man with rosacea laughed, then put on a bitter look, and said angrily, "Don't think too much, I'm just helpless. I have accumulated this strength for a long time. Now I have to do it all over again."
He once ate a Devil Fruit. The power of the fruit is to accumulate, accumulate strength, accumulate speed, and accumulate nutrients. As long as it is something produced by himself, he can accumulate it and then use it when necessary.
It's a pity that he himself is not rich. After being forced to come here, he can only barely feed and clothe himself, and he can only save strength little by little.
"Besides, even with this power, I wouldn't be able to survive. The one who saved us should be the flute just now."
The monkey-faced man's face was a little pale. She still hadn't recovered from the life-and-death situation just now, but she just nodded after hearing Rosacea's words. As for Rosacea's helplessness, he only believed half of it.
"The sound of the flute should be some kind of command that can command those things. If..."
Rosacea curled his lips. He guessed what the monkey-faced man was thinking when he spoke, "Don't even think about it. Are you really able to get the means to control those undead?"
The monkey-faced man laughed strangely, "Don't you think we can leave alive now? Although I don't know why those ships exploded, they were destroyed. Do you think the attackers want us to leave? Yes. The only way to survive is to fight for it.”
Rosacea squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head, "If you want to go, I won't go anyway. Taking risks is not my style. But let me remind you, those monsters should be the power of some kind of devil fruit. It cannot be controlled by ordinary methods.”
"Don't worry about it. Since you don't want to, I'll go by myself." The monkey-faced man staggered down and then walked towards the jungle. The monsters left in a hurry. Although the jungle was dark at night, But if he looked carefully he could still find traces.
After walking far away, the monkey-faced man stopped stumbling and glanced behind him with a complicated expression, "You didn't actually take action... I don't know how long you can live."
Rosacea saw the other person walking away and shook his head, then closed his eyes and muttered, "The energy savings should be enough for several months, and the water is not bad. If I have this time, I should be able to make a ship and leave." It’s here.”
He was not a fool. This time the fleet was in trouble and he wanted to wait until the next batch of fleet came over. It would take a month. One month would be enough for him to build a simple boat and leave. As for those 'monsters'...
All he could do was pray.
After thinking about all this, Rosacea turned around and ran in the other direction.
…
In a dry tree hole, a weak man climbed out of bed with some difficulty. There was a circle of black around his eyes, as if they were smeared with smoky makeup, and the eyelids like dead fish eyes showed his current weakness, and a cough directly caused a pool of blood to come out. However, the blood was not the normal red color. Some of the dark blood made him stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head.
As if hearing the movement in the tree hole, a person rushed in quickly.
"Hugh, how are you?"
"Aya, you don't need to help me. You also know my situation. Although they have given up on poisoning, I persisted in that environment for so long. Naturally, my body... is beyond saving." He said As he spoke, Xio showed a somewhat forced smile.
"Besides, an acquaintance is here."
Aya is a female hunter, but her strength is not as good as those who go out, but she is agile and is left to take care of Xio, who is weakened by the poisonous gas.
She looked very panicked after hearing Xio's words, but she stopped and hesitated when she heard someone familiar.
"Familiar ones?" She looked a little strange. "Our acquaintances should all be dead. Acquaintances...those acquaintances who didn't respond to you?"
Xio shook his head, "It's alive."
I originally wanted to explain, but a figure had already landed in front of the tree carrying a trace of lightning. "Here she comes. She knew you really well before. Let's go."
He is a person with abilities, and the Devil Fruit he eats is called the Undead Fruit. He can make contracts with the undead that identify with him and become undead hunters who frighten people outside. Of course, there is another way to directly enslave the undead, but the prerequisite is Only if he can beat the opponent.
"Long time no see, sister Kena."
Xio and Ke Na are of the same generation. Although they are of the same generation, there is still a gap of nearly ten years in age.
Kona frowned, and then took out a small box from her arms. The box had three compartments, red, yellow and blue. This is Reiju's handiwork. After returning to the Kingdom of Germa, she also made a great breakthrough in the research and development of drugs because of Germa's professional laboratory. And what is in this small box is a finished product that she sent before.
The red one is poison, and there are a few small balls like glass beads. The yellow ones are some powder, which is said to be a drug mixed with the psychedelic fairy powder she made using her fruit ability. The blue one is also made from fairy powder, but this part is the antidote.
According to legend, when fairies wave their wings, they will scatter hallucinogenic powder, and the powder removed from the fairies' wings has the magical effect of breaking curses and eliminating most poisons. Although it sounds the same, the detoxifying powder itself will not be separated from the fairy itself, so this powder is naturally much more precious than the hallucinogenic powder. Reiju didn't make it in large quantities. She just made a portion for Gaji and those careless guys and Sanji who was far away in the East China Sea. The rest was naturally distributed to everyone in the Hikka Pirates.
Kona took out a pill from the blue grid and sighed. I hope Reiju won't blame her if she finds out.
"Take the antidote." Kena threw it to Xio.
Naturally, the weak Xiu couldn't catch it, but Ah Ya beside him did. She wanted to take a look, but just as she was about to take a look, Xio stopped her.
"Stop checking, give it to me. If she wants me to die, there's no need to rush. I can only live for a month at most."
"But..." Aya hesitated, but looking at the firm look in his eyes, she let go. Although her name was affectionate, she was actually Xio's sister during her lifetime.
But she still became nervous after watching Xio take the pills.
However, how could the medicine prepared by Reiju herself be bad? Not to mention that the poisonous mist used in the attack itself was not just an ordinary poison. Even someone like him who had been corroded by the poison for a long time could be effectively cured. .
Soon Xio's expression relaxed, and he could clearly feel that his body seemed to relax a lot, as if a clear spring emerged from the dry land, washing away the impurities on the surface.
At this time, Ke Na's voice came, "Your poison shouldn't be a big problem. That medicine... is a bit special and is enough to detoxify you. However, your body has been too severely damaged by the poison. Even if I don't understand it, You can tell."
Kona said with a somewhat unhappy tone. Hunters naturally have a lot of experience with poisons. Poisonous insects and snakes are indispensable from the forest. This is knowledge that hunters must master, and poisons that can avoid the hunter's knowledge can only be It's those industrial toxins.
To put it simply, they are industrially synthesized toxins. And the source of these toxins...
What Kona knew was the World Government and the Germa Kingdom. The World Government was information about the Revolutionary Army. It was said that the source was the research leaked by Vegapunk. And the Kingdom of Germa is Reiju. However, because Reijiu has only been involved for a short time, this research has actually just begun and has not yet entered the commercial stage.
In other words, there is cooperation between the world government and the dark giant, or... corruption within the world government.
Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out that other forces also conduct such research. For example, although the 'Lan' organization has not conducted research on drug wars, it has also conducted research on countermeasures against poisons, and countermeasures research will inevitably involve research on the poison itself. Fortunately, we have Reijiu’s technical support in this regard.
Back to the topic.
Although Xio still looked weak after taking the pills, his energy and energy were much better than before, at least he didn't feel like a piece of paper.
"Thank you for the medicine, it is very effective."
After stretching her body a little, Xio said gratefully, and then her tone changed with some understanding, "But gratitude is gratitude, but I still want to know the purpose of your return."
At this time, Ma Ji, who was the first to rush back, also rushed to the scene with several other undead hunters.
