I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 185 184. A steel behemoth that looks strong but is actually weak!
Seeing that the two people in front had gone to get the soup, the remaining two felt that they couldn't stand out from the group, so they came over as well.

So everyone was drinking from the same pot of soup, and even the atmosphere became a little more harmonious.

Finished the barbecue and drank the soup.

Xiong Bao is setting up a tent.

"Messer. I noticed that tall guy was secretly looking at me just now."

Yamato put his mouth close to Messer's ear and whispered, "The look in his eyes seems very strange, as if he is confirming something."

Messer's eyes grew serious, and he said softly, "Well, I understand. I'll keep an eye on him from now on."

You need to keep vigil when sleeping at night.

The first half of the night was with Eri, and the second half was with Kumabo.

The next day, early morning.

Moses and his companions washed themselves while their mouths twitched, and then they set off again.

As we walked deeper and deeper, the environment became more and more quiet.

The temperature is also getting higher and higher.

A week later in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The sand dunes around it collapsed.

Crocodile opened his right hand and clenched it, and whips of sand wrapped around the poisonous yellow-brown desert man-eating giant lizards that rushed out from the inside of the sand dunes.

"Dry."

The five-meter-long lizards were strangled by the sand whips on their bodies to absorb the water in their bodies. They quickly turned into mummies and finally turned into sand and fell apart.

Messer raised his eyes slightly, watching his movements with his spiritual vision, the dry characteristics, and the existence of conceptual fluctuations.

This person's strength is almost entirely in the ability of the fruit, and the development of this fruit is really good.

"Boy, take away your revealing gaze. It gives me chills all over my body."

Crocodile turned his head and stared at Messier, saying unhappily.

His perception is quite sharp, but I don’t know why he hasn’t awakened his observation Haki. Is it because he is too focused on developing the fruit?
Have you combined your own perception with the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit?

The "danger" at hand has been resolved.

Crocodile's eyes moved slightly, he leaned down, and pressed his right hand on the sand.

The gravel around began to rustle and vibrate.

Crocodile uses the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit to find water in the desert.

He did this from time to time during this period.

A few minutes later, he raised the corner of his mouth, stood up and left without saying a word.

After a while, I walked about three or four kilometers to the left and front.

A basin appeared in front of me, with reeds in it, and even the air became moist.

Wherever wild animals frequently appear, there is usually water.

Yamato blinked and said with a grin:
"Messer, this sand crocodile is really quite capable. It seems that even if he gets lost in the desert, he can still survive well in it."

"Otherwise, people can be called sand crocodiles. Crocodiles really need water. They are crocodiles that can find water in the desert."

At this time, Kaji came over and told a joke.

The corners of Messer's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes. Crocodile on the side said with a stern look:

"Shut your mouth if you don't want it to get out of hand."

Kaji shut his mouth wisely. This was the deep desert, and if he angered this desert monster, he would definitely be in trouble.

Walking into the reeds, there is a pool of water with a diameter of two meters in the center.

There was a layer of fallen leaves floating on it.

It doesn't look very clean.

However, none of them were too disgusted. They dug a hole at the edge of the pool to allow slightly cleaner water to seep in through the mud and sand layer from the other side of the pool.

Mercer walked to the edge of the pool, the frequency fluctuations of the water and his domineering aura blended in his body, attracting and gathering the abundant water vapor around him.

Drops of clear water gathered together, blended together and turned into water balls.

Xiong Bao took out a clean bucket to collect water.

Crocodile and the other three looked at the turbid but drinkable muddy water on their side with twitching eyes, while on the other side...
There is no harm without comparison.

Eiry looked at an ice crystal that appeared in front of her with a bright smile, stretched out her fair and tender little hand to hold it, it was icy cold.

She stuck out her rosy little tongue and started licking it.

His eyes narrowed in happiness.

Yamato was happily making ice cubes, stuffing a big one into Xiong Bao's mouth and a small one into Messier's.

Kaji looked at Messer with a sour look on his face:

"Brother, you are too comfortable, aren't you? We are trying to survive, but you are enjoying life. Can you at least consider our feelings?"

Mercer crunched the ice in his mouth and chewed it, his face speechless: "I enjoy it by my own ability, I am happy, if you have the ability, you can do the same."

Kaji helplessly spoke out his true feelings:

"Hey, bro, can you help me get some clean water? I'm afraid I'll get diarrhea if I drink this muddy water."

"Just boil it over fire and drink it." Mercer chuckled.

Kaji laughed dryly, "Let's not go to all that trouble. Why don't you just help your brother out?"

Shameless.

Messiah didn't refuse. Seeing this, Kaji came over happily with his own water container to fill it with water.

Kaji smiled and said, "You are such a good man, brother. From now on, you will be my real brother."

Messer looked at Jiaji with a strange expression, which made Jiaji confused and bewildered.

Someone took the lead, and the remaining three, unable to save face, came over reluctantly. If there was one, there would be two. Anyway, everyone was a gang now.

time flies.

Five days later.

A Gobi desert covered with wind-dried rocks.

hum!
The domineering color spread out.

A dense mass of desert bees with human heads fell from the sky. Messer walked forward and picked up a brownish-brown bee.

Cut off the head and tail and remove the venom gland.

Roast over high heat until golden brown.

He stuffed it into the mouth of the bear next to him, chewed it with a crunching sound, smacked his lips, and expressed his feelings:

"It tastes like crayfish, with a hint of sweetness. It's quite delicious."

"Messer, there should be a beehive around here, and there should be honey in it. Bear, go and look for it."

Moses nodded and dealt with the poisonous bees on the sand around him.

Xiong Bao sniffed the air around him and disappeared in a short while.

Yamato took a bee roasted by Messer, blinked with some hesitation, but still took a bite. Suddenly, his mouth was full of crispy fragrance, and the meat had a slightly sweet taste.

"It doesn't look good, but it's surprisingly good. I'll have another one."

Yamato and Eri ate this ugly but delicious food without any disgust.

Moses also roasted it and ate it.

Kaji came again, and with a sullen face, he also took a bite.

Their dry food supplies had long been exhausted.

Unexpectedly tasted good.

Brave warriors are brave enough to try any food.

A few minutes later, Xiong Bao came running over carrying a honeycomb with a diameter of ten meters.

As soon as I came over, even the air was filled with a sweet scent.

Mercer also saw unhatched bee pupae in the hive.

Crystal clear brownish-yellow rock honey.

The identified grade is C.

Rock honey has a very good effect on the human body.

Great harvest.

However, there was another large group of poisonous bees chasing after him.

Mercer's domineering color spread out, and a swarm of bees fell from the air like raindrops.

After a nutritious meal, we set off.

The journey afterwards became very difficult, as ferocious giant sandworms would emerge from corners or under the sand and attack everyone from time to time.

Although it did not pose any threat, it annoyed everyone.

After walking for another half day, they stopped in a desert area with huge rocky rocks.

Crocodile exhaled, dispelling the sand around him, his expression turning cold.
“The place is here, right there.”

The finger pointed in the direction ahead, where there was a deep pit and crack that looked like it had collapsed. When everyone walked up to it, they could not see the bottom of the pit, which was so dark.

However, a faint bitter smell came out from the crack.

"The last time I came here, I only reached the bottom of the pit and couldn't go any further. The bitter smell inside was extremely strong. It was poisonous fog. There were an unusually large number of strange and poisonous insects at the bottom of the deep pit.

Because of breathing problems, I left, and now it seems that the poisonous fog here should have almost dissipated.

There is an underground palace under the pit. You can see a huge amount of treasure piled up at the entrance of the underground palace, but that is a mirage. The real treasure should still be in the innermost part of the underground palace.

The information that had been circulated was probably that the tomb robbers thought the mirage was real and activated some kind of mechanism inside, which caused the poisonous mist to appear.

The last time I came here, I found many corpses with miserable faces around the edge of those "treasures".

It’s up to you to decide whether to go down or not.”

As he spoke, he took out a gas mask from a bag on the accompanying camel and put it on.

Hanafzai was furious at this moment:

"Sand Crocodile, why didn't you tell us in advance that there was poisonous fog here? We couldn't even prepare for it?"

Then he looked at Messer, Kaji, and Mihawk, "What do you say?"

Kaji raised an eyebrow, raised his hand and said with a grin, "Because it's a tomb, who knows if there are any bad gases in it, so I'm prepared."

As he said that, he took out a gas mask and put it on.

Mihawk said nothing, but also took out his gas mask and put it on.

Messi blinked and looked at Xiong Bao. The next second, Xiong Bao swallowed Messi.

Messer took control of the body and swallowed Yamato and Eri in two mouthfuls.

Their consciousness connected, and their two pairs of eyes appeared under his own eyes. Messer shook his head and smiled:
"I have my own way."

The invisible realm spreads.

A layer of water film materializes and wraps around his head to protect against toxic gases.

The corners of Hanafza's mouth twitched violently, and his mouth trembled violently. Was this trip in vain?
Then he thought of his ancient animal-type devil fruit's ability to resist poison, and his head became hard and his eyes narrowed.

Seeing this scene, Crocodile was a little dissatisfied, but looked at Hanafza:
"I have a gas mask here. If you want it, I have a condition. I'll go down and find something I like, and you have to help me out. Anything."

Hanafza's eyes struggled. He was stubborn, but not stupid, so he had no choice but to accept it. Messer reached the cave entrance and jumped in. He could hear the sound of wind and the irregularity of the surrounding rock walls.

Ten seconds later,

He fell at least three hundred meters, slowing down from time to time, and landed steadily on the ground with a thud.

Mercer looked up at the four people above who were each displaying their magical powers.

A few seconds later, they all landed safely in their own way.

Messer looked at the closed stone door of the rock palace that appeared ten meters away, but there was no rotten corpse as he had imagined.

There was a mountain of golden treasures and a strange altar with a yellow-brown devil fruit on it.

Not far from the altar is an exquisite sarcophagus inlaid with gems and gold.

Mirage.

There was curiosity in his eyes.

At this moment, Moses sensed rustling sounds all around him.

Then, dense groups of fist-sized, dark spider-like insects crawled out from the corners.

The compound eyes on the head are scarlet.

The mouthparts have a metallic sheen.

It came like a tidal wave.

Dry.

A layer of sand waves spread out from under Crocodile's feet, instantly overturning the dense swarm of insects that appeared beside him.

Looking at the others coldly.

As soon as Moses changed his mind, a dark red flame ignited in the invisible field three meters around him. The high temperature burned, and there were crackling sounds. A fishy and meaty smell wafted out.

The other three also showed off their skills.

Mihawk slashed down with his sword, and a tornado of slashing light enveloped him, shattering the attacking swarm of insects.

The remaining two people both launched terrifying shock waves to smash the attacking swarm of insects.

Crocodile's expression remained unchanged. He walked to the stone gate and pressed it with his right hand. Fine sand and gravel continued to scatter. After a few seconds, boom!

The stone gate turned into gravel and fell to the ground.

He walked in first, not worrying about any traps.

As a user of nature abilities, just rush forward.

Moses followed him.

Behind the stone gate is a long corridor.

Various traps appear along the way.

After walking a few hundred meters, another stone gate appeared in front of us.

Once again destroyed by Crocodile's desertification.

Walking into the stone gate, a maze entrance appeared in front of me. There were ten entrances in total.

Mercer looked at Crocodile standing at the entrance of the maze and chuckled:

"Together or separately?"

"as you like."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a handful of flying sand and flew towards an entrance at a high speed.

Messer smiled.

Spiritualization.

The figure flew up.

The Observation Haki sensed the situation in the underground palace and went straight through the wall.

The corners of Kaji's mouth twitched and he fell silent. After a brief silence.

Just as he was about to speak, Mihawk's eyes lit up red, and he found the right direction, holding the cross sword, raised it, and swung it down.

Buzz! A terrifying horizontal slash flew out, and with a clang! The entire rock maze in front of them flew up.

Rays of slashing light flew out.

A whistling sound of wind suddenly arose.

A violent collapse and shaking sensation occurred underground.

The entire maze became a ruin in a few seconds.

There was a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.

He took a step forward and rushed out.

Kaji's eye twitched, and Hanafza, who did the same, chased after him.

After leaving the maze, he used his observation Haki to sense the direction of the devil fruit's frequency fluctuations.

Simultaneously,

Using his Observation Haki to sense the demolition behind him, Messer looked peculiar, "So reckless? Aren't you afraid of collapsing this place?"

Walk straight through the wall.

in consciousness.

Yamato complained:
"My great adventure with ups and downs is over. Why are you all like this? It's too unchallenging. You must have broken the rules."

Xiong Bao followed in his mind:

"That's right, you guys are really breaking the rules."

Eri giggled and said, "Come on, brother. Try to be the first one to get there."

Using his Observation Haki, Moser sensed the people chasing him closely from behind, and came to the center of the entire underground palace. He looked at a huge, rugged and solemn marble palace that appeared in front of him a hundred meters away.

At the entrance, there are two magnificent, majestic, but rusty Sphinx steel beasts with lion bodies and human faces.

The giant beast has a human head, and its eyes are hollow and dark, which is very creepy.

At this time, a wisp of wind and sand gathered, and Crocodile's figure appeared.

"Why aren't you leaving? I thought you were going in?"

Moses stared at the two mighty steel beasts at the palace gate in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he did not hesitate to speak:

"How about you go first?"

Crocodile stared intently at the two steel behemoths, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
"Together?"

The corner of Messer's mouth curled up, "How about waiting for them?"

Crocodile also raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

One minute later.

The remaining three arrived.

He looked at the two of them in confusion.

Mihawk's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. He whispered, "There's something strange. These two steel behemoths actually give me a very strange sense of danger."

"What's there to be afraid of? You're just scaring yourself. You might be scared, but I'm not. They're just two pieces of scrap metal."

Hanafza's body swelled up to almost ten meters tall, and his body was covered with a solid, textured skin. He rushed forward like a little giant.

He has sufficient confidence in his defense.

And just as he rushed within fifty meters of the palace gate.

The behemoth on the right didn't move.

but.

The eyes of the rusty steel behemoth on the left suddenly glowed red, and a mechanical opening and closing sound could be heard from within:

"Invaders. Kill!"

The next moment, boom!

Terrifying black and red arcs of electricity wrapped around its body. With a crackling sound, the lion suddenly stood up and slapped Hanafza, who hurriedly stopped and retreated.

A heavy palm landed on the ground, and a terrifying black and red electric arc shot out.

Hanafza crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the attack, but was sent flying by the impact with a thud.

The next moment, a thick black and red lightning struck his body, and his half-beast form was directly knocked back.

Hanafza spit out blood and flew backwards.

Mercer's pupils suddenly constricted. He had never seen such a terrifying and powerful look of dominance before.

The body retreated quickly and silently, and the next moment, a branch-like lightning struck where Moses had just stood.

Ugh!

At the same time, two cries of pain were heard.

I sensed that Crocodile and Kake were both knocked away.

Especially Crocodile, even in elemental form, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood.

Mihawk blocked the Conqueror's Lightning attack with his long sword, but was also pushed back to the side of Messer.

Admiration flashed in his eyes:

"What a terrifying domineering color."

Mercer shook his head and smiled:

“It’s a pity that it’s not a living creature, otherwise we would have had a hard fight today.

It’s a bit of a shame to be honest.”

Messer pulled out Yamato's mace "Frost" from his mouth, and his Armament Haki and Domineering Haki flowed and intertwined at the same time.

Mihawk agreed, "Yes, if it were a living creature, it would definitely be an exciting battle.

You go up or me?"

"I'll go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Messer's figure suddenly appeared above the head of the steel giant, with black and red arcs of electricity wrapped around the mace.

Lift it up! Smash it down.

thump—

A terrifying black and red electric arc exploded, and a muffled thunder-like sound was heard.

There was a clicking sound.

The rusty head of the steel giant was instantly shattered by the steel.

But even though its head exploded, its body was still moving, waving its claws and striking at Messer.

Messer kept dodging, swinging his mace and smashing it down again and again. The entire steel behemoth was torn into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Finally, a stick smashed the heart core of the steel behemoth.

Landing steadily on the ground, with a pout, Messergang and Mihawk both discovered that the giant beast only had that one terrifying domineering attack.

What followed was just ordinary powerful punches and kicks.

Exhale from your mouth.

There was a hint of pity in Moses' eyes.

Then he walked towards the stone gate of the palace.
