The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 420 The Unexpected Turn of Events in the Temple of Life

Thunderstorms raged, torrential rain poured down, and the weather was extremely bad.

Three enormous birds carried three figures as they swiftly dodged.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally broke through that extremely violent area.

"That's really terrifying!"

The three powerful executives of the Heberfeller family couldn't help but complain inwardly.

There's an island ahead!

Mok shouted, and the remaining two understood and boarded their flying mounts, heading towards the island.

Judging from the tranquility of the island, it is most likely a deserted island isolated from the world.

The three who arrived on this unknown desert island were Mok, a chef with the Logia-type Swamp-Swamp Fruit ability; Sicaberi, an Ancient Zoan; and Dasok, a swordsman.

"Hey! This forest is really lush! It's a rare sight indeed."

Mok couldn't help but speak up. As a chef who had once followed Heberfeller Charlotte on her adventures, Mok found this lush and expansive island quite rare.

Giant trees, incredibly large.

It really brightened his day, and even his previously bad mood improved a lot.

"So this place is very valuable!"

Zoan-type Ancient Zoan user, Shicaberi, couldn't help but speak up.

As the former captain of the defense team for the Heberfeller family's research laboratory, he rarely appeared in public.

They don't know much about the outside world, and their appearances in the outside world are usually due to various major battles, but this time it concerns a major plan for the development of the family.

Almost all of the family's executives are engaged in secret activities around the world.

"Um!"

Dassock's face remained expressionless, offering only a simple, direct single-word reply.

The Hibern family was used to Dassock's situation.

That's just his personality.

Moke nodded in agreement and even tapped on the tree.

"Hard and sturdy!"

Mok was absolutely certain that the enormous trees here were indeed of extremely high quality and sturdy timber.

In particular, apart from these trees, the entire island is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, clearly indicating fertile land.

This island possesses two excellent resources, making it highly valuable.

"Oh, what are we waiting for? Let's check and clean it up right away, and then send the message back."

Sicaberi was beaming with excitement. Finding a suitable desert island so quickly was incredibly lucky!

"Alright, let's speed things up and launch a multi-pronged attack."

Moke, a Logia-type Swamp-Swamp Fruit user, agreed. Their main purpose was to assess the resource situation here, whether there were any dangerous creatures, and to eliminate pirates.

This also laid the groundwork for the family to take over the island.

Dasok nodded.

Having finalized their plan in the blink of an eye, the three immediately dispersed to different parts of the island.

The goal is to determine the situation as quickly as possible, given the tight schedule and heavy workload.

The dense forest is full of life, with lush vegetation and constant bird songs.

"Splash!"

A scraping sound rang out, and Dasok's expression turned serious.

With a whoosh, a huge, roaring tiger appeared.

Dasok's expression remained unchanged as Shigure swept through the air, his blade flashing.

"Pfft!"

With a soft thud, the tiger was split in two and fell to the ground.

It was clear that there were many ferocious beasts here, and he needed to clear them out. Before he could relax his vigilance, terrifying vines burst out of the ground.

Dasok leaped into the air, unleashing a burst of blade light.

The vines that rushed towards them were split into several pieces in the blink of an eye. Before they even hit the ground, the severed roots sprouted new shoots from them in a bizarre way and rushed out at high speed.

"Jingle bells..."

A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out, and the vines that followed were frighteningly sturdy.

Before they could even react, wisps of pale green mist began to drift down from the vines and envelop them.

Dasok's expression remained unchanged, but he was shaken inside. Before he could react, he felt dizzy and weak.

The next moment, they were wrapped in vines and dragged into the depths of the jungle, disappearing from sight.

On the other side, Sicaberi also suffered a powerful attack from the vines.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the power of his Devil Fruit, transforming into a human-beast form.

"Boom!"

The immense power and frantic methods produced a deafening roar, but the countless and incredibly resilient vines caused him immense suffering.

This thing is too much of a hindrance to him.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing? Show yourself!"

With a furious roar, Sherkachev covered his fist with Armament Haki and slammed it down.

"boom!"

The violent force instantly created a deep crater in the ground, raising dust as he did not even have time to catch his breath.

The vines in the soil moved as nimbly as giant green snakes, instantly piercing through his Armament Haki-infused body.

In an instant, his body wasted away, and even his tenacious Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability could not resist it.

The moment he fell heavily to the ground, he was enveloped by countless vines.

Moke, amidst the sea of ​​flowers, naturally heard the sounds of battle. Startled, he immediately prepared to activate his razor and rush into the forest.

However, countless flowers, like wildly dancing tentacles, launched a frenzied attack on Mok.

"Pfft! Pfft!!!"

A series of dense, needle-like attacks pierced his body.

Visible swamps flowed from the wounds, rendering ordinary attacks useless against him, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

"Swamp: Massive Cleanup!"

With a deep shout, Moke transformed into swamp elemental, instantly swallowing everything around him like a bottomless abyss of flowing seawater.

The destructive power was terrifying; a large area of ​​barren land appeared in the blink of an eye.

Before he could even feel happy, dozens of jet-black vines arrived out of nowhere and pierced right through his body.

"Damn it, Armament Haki!"

Moke couldn't help but speak up.

The physical immunity effect that ignores elementalization is due to the suppression of Seastone and the restraint of Armament Haki; there is no doubt that the attacked location did not exhibit elementalization.

It's undoubtedly Armament Haki.

Just as Mok was about to take action, his body rapidly withered away, and his strength began to completely dissipate.

Moke realized he had fallen for a trap, but the suction force was quite astonishing.

……

……

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

A series of noisy Den Den Mushi (transparent telephone snails) kept ringing.

"Crunch!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Lina's expression changed upon hearing the report from the other end, and she hurriedly went to Charlotte's room.

"Charlotte, something terrible has happened!"

Charlotte, who was enjoying her leisure, was slightly surprised to hear Lina's anxious voice. Could it be that something had happened to the ship to Zou?

"What's wrong, Lina?"

Charlotte remained calm and began to ask questions. As the head of the family, he couldn't panic no matter what happened.

Lina, having caught her breath, quickly spoke up.

"Morke, Dasok, and Sicaberli's life blueprints in the Temple of Life suddenly burned up most of them."

Charlotte's eyelids drooped slightly.

This surprised him greatly, considering that the three of them were quite strong, and it was quite unexpected that they were seriously injured while acting together.

Fortunately, he was injured but not killed, which gave Charlotte a temporary sense of relief.

Then some doubt arose: Could it be that the navy had intervened?

His gaze immediately turned cold; perhaps this was also a trap set by the navy.

But saving lives is the priority.

He then looked at Lina and said, "Tell Barrett and Jhin to come with me."
