How to become a mermaid

Chapter 336 The Island and the Church

"boom!!"

The sound of explosions spread in all directions, and the sea water evaporated into a vast white mist.

The bottom of the sea, which was originally empty, unexpectedly faintly appeared the shadow of an island.

"Come out!" Pochi shouted excitedly.

"Roar!" Leon also saw the situation below, and let out a long cry of excitement.

It flapped its wings and hovered over this sea area, and breathed out a circle with dragon breath.

In the blazing firelight, the outline of the island is looming.

As if breaking through a certain critical point, the space in front of him suddenly distorted.

A complete island appeared in front of Pochi and Leon.

"The island has come out!" Seeing the island only tens of meters away from him, Pochi flicked his tail excitedly, and happily circled in the scalding water.

Great, everything Leon said is true!There is hope for his eldest son to be found!
Seeing that the island had appeared, Leon also stopped exhaling, and wisps of charred smoke came out of his half-opened mouth. He exhaled lightly, and proudly and confidently said: "Phew~ It's so trivial~"

"Brother Leon! You are amazing! I am so lucky to have you as my brother!"

"Without you, I don't even know what I would do!" Boqi also gave a thumbs up at this time, blowing a wave of rainbow rainbow farts to it.

As an enthusiastic and lively mermaid, he is best at complimenting other fish until the tip of their tail tingles.

Sure enough, after hearing Pochi's praise, a rippling smile appeared on Leon's ferocious dragon face.

hey hey hey

It's not that powerful, it's just a little bit powerful~

low key!Keep a low profile!

Just when Leon's heart was throbbing, Pochi had swam to the front of the island.

He found a flat place and climbed onto the shore, using teleportation to move around the island.

Money should not be on this island now, because the place where they disappeared was in another place.

Pochi came to this island, firstly, to explore, and secondly, to ensure that Leon's violent way of breaking the door would not destroy the things inside the barrier.

At dusk today, he and Leon will go to the place where Moni is missing to break the barrier. What if he hits hard at that time and accidentally burns Moni inside the barrier.

Even if it didn't burn Mooney, it wouldn't be good to roast the rest of his crew.

Pushing aside the trees blocking the way with his hands, Pochi, who was walking through the forest, suddenly found a small church in front of him.

What puzzled him a little was that the church looked quite new.

The white walls, towering spires, and windows made of stained glass have no traces of climbing vines or animal waste, as if they had just been built.

According to the story Leon told before, this island should have been abandoned for a long time, and it stands to reason that there would not be such a new church.

"Leon! Can you see it from the sky!" Pochi raised his head and called to Leon who was hovering above his head.

"Roar!!" The loud dragon roar passed through the tree canopies and reached Boqi's ears.

Hearing Leon's response, Pochi pointed to the chapel in front of him and shouted: "I see a very new chapel here! It looks like someone came to this island not long ago!"

"I feel a little strange, brother, can you come down and take a look for me?"

Although Pochi loves adventure and death, that's something he only does when he's a fish.

Now that his good elder brother is here, he thinks it's better to let his elder brother clear the mines for him first.

After all, big brother, if you recognize it, you can use it!

"Hey~~!" Hearing Pochi's request, Leon happily agreed without thinking.

After circling a circle in the air, the huge crimson body found an angle, and landed at an extreme speed like Mount Tai pressing down on the top.

"Bang!!" There was only a muffled sound, countless leaves were flying, and Leon landed steadily in the middle of the forest.

"Wow!" It violently slapped away the surrounding trees and vines with its claws, propped its forelimbs on the ground and crawled arrogantly to the front of the church.

"Patter!" Pushing open the door of the church roughly, Leon found that it was empty inside, not to mention people, not even a statue, only a few rows of wooden tables and chairs standing in it.

Suddenly, Leon moved his nose twice, and caught a trace of bloody smell lingering around the church.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" It turned around, followed the place where the smell of blood came, and went around to the back of the church.

Seeing the picture in front of him, Leon's eyes enlarged slightly, as if a little surprised.

I saw a bloody human being nailed to the wall at the back of the church.

His hands were spread out to the sides, and a two-finger thick wooden stake was inserted in each of the two palms. His feet were close together and suspended in the air, about half a meter from the ground, half-hanging in a punishing posture.

However, what surprised Leon was not that there were people on this island, nor the miserable appearance of this person at this time, but his identity!

This guy turned out to be Mooney's crew!

It seems to be called... what is it called Lun?

Leon had seen this crew member a few times and had a slight impression, but couldn't remember his name.

Recognizing the person's origin, Leon turned his head and shouted to Boqi in front of the church: "Boqi! Come and see, I found Moni's crew here!"

"What?! Why is Moni's crew here?" Pochi was shocked, and rushed over with a teleport.

"Barron!" As soon as he saw the man's face, Pochi recognized his identity.

This person is Hawke's partner, and usually acts with Hawke. Although he is relatively taciturn, because he often dangles in front of his eyes, Pochi has a deep impression on him.

Putting his hand under Barron's nose, Pochi was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still breathing.

After observing Barron's whole body a little more, and found that he had no obvious wounds except for the two big holes on his palm, Pochi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Leon beside him:

"He should be in a coma due to excessive blood loss. Brother Leon, please watch him here. I'll find something to stop the bleeding!"

"Yes!" Leon nodded, agreeing to Pochi's request.

……

About three 10 minutes later.

Porch has rescued Barron, bandaged his wound and poured blood algae juice, and took him to a pew in the church to rest.

Years of wandering at sea and drinking a lot of potions made Barron's physique far superior to that of ordinary people. After he stopped bleeding, his face gradually became rosy, and there was a faint color of blood on his lips.

A few minutes later, his tightly closed eyelids trembled twice, and slowly opened.

"Ho—!" As soon as he opened his eyes, Barron sat up from the bench and subconsciously touched the scimitar at his waist.

"Barron! You're awake!" At this moment, Pochi shouted in surprise.

Hearing Boqi's voice suddenly, Barron was also surprised for a moment. He looked at Boqi up and down, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Boqi?!"

Turning his head to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, Barron showed a confused expression on his face, and asked, "Why did Mr. Pochi suddenly appear, no... where is this place?"

Hearing that Barron asked himself where it was, Boqi frowned, and said, "Don't you know? This is an island in the Puleje Atoll!"

Seeing that Barron was still a little confused, he explained seriously: "Just a few days ago, your ship suddenly disappeared in this sea area, so I have been looking for you and notified Leon."

"And today I finally landed on this island with the help of Brother Leon, and found you who was nailed behind this church."

"I wanted to ask just now, who nailed you there, and where did the others go?"

After listening to Pochi's description, Barron's eyes widened.

Before, he was so excited that the adrenaline surged so suddenly that he didn't notice the abnormality in his body for a while, but now he relaxed a little, and he finally felt the pain from his hand.

"Hiss..." With trembling hands, Barron sat down on the bench he had been lying on before.

The pain made him wake up a lot in an instant, and the memories of the past few days flooded into his mind like a flood.

"In this sea area... there are other people!"

"Those people broke into our ship, injured Captain Moni, and took away several crew members!" Barron shouted excitedly.

"What? Moony is injured?" Hearing what Baron said, Pochi became nervous all of a sudden, and asked eagerly, "Tell me what happened to you these days! Where is Moony now!"

"Who beat that kid Mony?" Even Leon, who was guarding the church door, became interested and poked his head in.

Under the watchful eyes of one big and one small, Barron slowly talked about his experience.

"That night I fell asleep very early, and then I had a dream..."

"I can't remember the specific things clearly. I can only vaguely remember a group of people in white robes. They kneeled neatly on the ground, and they were still muttering something, as if they were holding some ceremony."

"While thinking about it, they suddenly took out a knife and cut open their own stomachs."

"Blood spilled all over the ground, converging into a viscous river of blood, flowing forward..."

"Just when the blood was about to flow to my feet, I suddenly woke up..."

"Whether it's me, the whole ship is awake!
"I communicated with the people around me a little bit, and found that we all had the same dream."

"Then we found out that our ship had run aground on a small island, and Mr. Pochi had disappeared."

"The captain was very anxious when Mr. Pochi was found missing and ordered us to look around."

Hearing that Barron said that Moni was also looking for him, Boqi was very moved, and felt that his son was not in vain.

He asked with some concern: "How did Moni get injured? Is the enemy very powerful?"

"They're not very powerful either." Baron shook his head, and continued, "On the way to the island to find Mr. Pochi, we encountered enemies!"

"The clothes of those people are very similar to what we saw in our dreams. They appeared suddenly, and they seemed a little surprised when they saw us."

"The moment he discovered those mysterious people, the captain believed that they had kidnapped Mr. Pochi, rushed up angrily and attacked them."

"Then we both started fighting... According to the captain's strength, our side completely suppressed them to fight, but when the captain was about to capture them, the leader of the group suddenly pulled out a statue and cut his wrist poured blood on it."

"Suddenly a red light was emitted from the statue, resisting the captain's attack."

"Then...a strange scene happened. After being illuminated by the light from that statue, the captain suddenly knelt down while clutching his chest!"

"He seemed to be in pain, sweating from the pain, and then the group of people took this opportunity to injure the captain, and summoned a tunnel-like thing to escape."

"Seeing those people running away, several crew members chased after them, and they took them away together!"

After listening to Baron's description, Leon frowned as if thinking of something, and asked, "During the fight with you...did those people mention words related to [Sacred Flame]?"

"How do you know?" Barron asked back in surprise, his eyes widened.

Hearing this, Leon confirmed the conjecture in his heart: "It seems that it is true, those guys are probably members of the Holy Fire Sect! They really haven't been completely eradicated, and now they have revived again!"

"Holy Fire Sect...?" Barron said the name with a confused and puzzled expression.

"Forget it, it's not something you should know!" Leon didn't intend to explain too much to him, but continued to ask: "Then what about you, how did you appear here:"

"I..." Barron hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "I seem to have been left behind by them."

"Actually, I was one of the crew members who tracked down the white-robed man. We followed them to another strange place, and then found that they had another group of companions. They were outnumbered and defeated!"

"They tied us up, and there was a man who scratched us with a knife, as if carving some kind of mark, but when he touched me, the man stopped suddenly and said something [Bah! It's a woman !] Then he slapped me and knocked me out..."

"When I wake up again, I will see you..."

After saying this, Barron's brows visibly frowned, obviously displeased with such discrimination.

"Woman?" Pochi immediately grasped the key point of Barron's words, and asked in confusion, "Why do they say you are a woman?"

A wry smile appeared on Barron's face, and he replied, "Actually... I was a woman when I was born."

"The reason why he looks like a man now is because he changed his gender after drinking a potion after boarding the ship."

"Captain Mooney doesn't take women on board, and I don't want to go on any other ship, so...that's it!"

After listening to Barron's explanation, Poch's face revealed a dazed look.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he asked in surprise: "So... you like Moni?"

"Huh???" Hearing this question, Barron was stunned.

"No! That's not it!" He shook his head like a rattle, and refused fiercely: "How could I fall in love with a pervert! Even if I fell in love with a megalodon, I wouldn't fall in love with the captain!"

"The reason why I got on the boat was purely because I wanted to take risks on the sea, and I think that Moni's treatment here is the most reliable!"

To be compared with the megalodon shark by the crew, you are really charming, Moni!

A few seconds of silent mourning for Moni, Boqi showed a regretful expression on his face, and said to Barron: "Sorry, I misunderstood..."

　This guy Barron, I don’t know if you still remember, he was the unlucky guy who was bitten off by a shark before being picked up by Plank, and he used to be a woman, as I mentioned before …

　　So in his eyes, Moni is really not as good as a megalodon...
