The Warrior of Love

He also told Rayleigh Luffy's location. As long as Luffy was not too high-profile on the island, it would be easy for him to survive and wait for Rayleigh to rescue him.

Second, Xiong knows the Empress’ secret.

Let’s ignore for now why Kuma knew this. If this assumption is true, it would be natural for Kuma to send Luffy to Nine Snake Island, because Luffy in the original work beat up the Celestial Dragons, and the Empress would not have any ill feelings towards him after understanding the ins and outs of the matter.

(But if we follow this line of thought, then the one that Xiong should send to Nine Snake Island is Jiang Liu...)

Third, Xiong didn’t think that much and simply took the person to a temporarily safe place - Jiang Liu felt that this was more likely.

Speaking of Jiang Liu himself, he is not very familiar with Kuma, and Kuma probably doesn't know much about him. It is a bit presumptuous for him to want to get a "tailor-made" target location like the Straw Hat Pirates. There is a high probability that he will be randomly photographed to a safe place.

I hope it’s not a place like the Shemale Island, otherwise Jiang Liu is worried that he will vomit blood and die.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but the changing scenery of the sky had become extremely monotonous in Jiang Liu's eyes. Although his injuries had not improved, they had not worsened due to his divine physique. The only thing was that he had been unable to move for such a long time, which made him feel annoyed both physically and mentally, and his stomach was gradually feeling hungry, which was really uncomfortable.

This difficult time finally came to an end at a certain moment.

bang——

Leaving behind a sonic boom, Jiang Liu's eyes suddenly went dark, and he felt that the translucent air shield on his body seemed to hit something. A rumbling sound came from his ears, and then it fell to the ground.

A human-shaped pit was left on the ground. Jiang Liu stayed in it quietly for ten minutes before he began to try to move his hands and feet. He slowly touched the edge of the pit and supported his body to climb up.

"what……"

Broken bones are not so easy to heal. Jiang Liu just barely moved his hands and feet and felt as if countless steel needles were shooting at his body. The pain was so severe that it was unbearable.

Sitting down on the ground, Jiang Liu gasped and raised his head to look at the big hole above.

He seemed to have fallen into a cave. Apart from the sunlight shining through the big hole he had made from above, the cave was completely dark and there was no other light source. Fortunately, Jiang Liu's eyesight was hardly affected by light or darkness, so he could still clearly see the things nearby.

"Hmm?" This time, Jiang Liu couldn't help but frown.

After seeing it clearly, I realized that this was not a cave, but a wide space built by humans. It might be underground or inside a mountain, but it looked like a stone structure.

Looking around, the area is quite large, at least as large as three or four basketball courts combined, but such a space seems very empty, without any decoration or furnishings, only a square stone platform in the center... No.

There seems to be something on the stone platform?

Jiang Liu took a closer look and discovered that the so-called stone platform was actually a uniquely shaped "coffin" with a small tombstone on the side, which recorded the name and identity of the tomb owner.

Jiang Liu did not check the tombstone, but was attracted by something quietly placed on the coffin.

What was placed on the coffin was not a bouquet of flowers to express condolences, but a sword...or should it be called a sword.

If the two-meter-long black stone was regarded as a sword, then its user must be a man with amazing wrist strength.

Burying the favorite weapons of the deceased seems to be a custom that exists in both the East and the West. Even the world of One Piece may have a similar tradition. So, did the owner of this tomb actually use such exaggerated weapons in battle?

Jiang Liu was curious for a moment and looked at the words on the tombstone.

These characters seem to be quite old, and are not exactly the same as the current language and characters. Fortunately, as a time traveler, Jiang Liu has a special ability: the Book of the Original Universe.

Although this book has no direct attack power, its auxiliary ability is still very powerful. In addition to traveling through the world and recording the growth rate, abilities such as "language translation" are all automatically operated, and Jiang Liu does not need to specifically learn the language of the other world.

Whether it is "Light Messenger" or the current "One Piece", Jiang Liu has never encountered any problems in daily communication. The reason lies here. However, since translation can only be regarded as an auxiliary ability, Jiang Liu has never paid much attention to it.

The reading was so natural that Jiang Liu didn't even realize that he was actually reading a text that he couldn't understand at all.

[Even death cannot separate you and me]

[To Alcides, my love...]

[Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons...]

Chapter 95: Black Iron Heavy Sword?

Hippolyta, this name is not unfamiliar to Jiang Liu. In fact, anyone who knows something about mythology should be familiar with the woman with this name.

That is a very famous warrior nation in Greek mythology, which is said to be composed only of women.

The queen of the Amazons, she is also a demigod, with bloodline inherited from the god of war Ares.

There is more than one queen of the Amazons, but the most famous are probably Hippolyta and Penthesilea. Their fates are closely linked to the two strongest heroes of Greece, so they are extremely well-known.

However, that is a mythological character from "Earth" and logically should have nothing to do with "One Piece". The appearance of this name is probably just a coincidence.

(But Oda, the original author of One Piece, likes to pick characters from mythology and history as prototypes. Even ancient weapons are related to Greek mythology, so it’s not surprising.)

As for the "Alcides" mentioned on the stone tablet, this name is not very famous, but as a senior Moon fan in his previous life, Jiang Liu knew that this name was the nickname of a certain hero - Hercules!

"It was created based on those two mythical figures... No, should it be said that the strange "resonance" between the worlds of different dimensions caused this phenomenon of having the same name?

By the way, since she claims to be the Queen of Amazon, is this the land of the Queen, the Land of Women, "Amazon o Lily"? "

Jiang Liu murmured a few words, and then became extremely curious about the existence lying in the sarcophagus.

Will it be the Amazon Queen or Alcides buried inside, or will they be buried together?

However, Jiang Liu is not Prime Minister Cao after all, and he is still very cautious about things like tomb robbing. It is already quite inappropriate to break in here and disturb the sleep of the deceased, and it is even more impossible to ask him to open the coffin and perform an autopsy.

Although Jiang Liu does not consider himself a gentleman, he still has some basic moral standards. For example, in "Demon Slayer", he is very respectful to teachers.

Of course, since you've already disturbed me, don't leave in a hurry. You can at least look around.

"This sword...what is it made of?"

Jiang Liu frowned secretly as he placed his fingertips on the two-meter-high sword, which looked as rough as building materials dug out from somewhere.

There is a handle-like part on it, and it does look like a weapon, but you can't really tell where the blade is. It looks more like an unsharpened piece of iron than a sword.

No, this thing might not be made of iron.

Trying to hold the hilt of the sword, Jiang Liu discovered that if one only looked at the thickness of the hilt, the user could only be described as "tall", and his body size should still be within the normal range, not like a bear that almost made people think it was a non-human race.

In fact, there are many sub-human races in the world of One Piece, including fishmen, giants, dwarfs, and furmen, so there are also many individuals with quite outrageous body sizes...

Compared to monsters like the bear, Moria, and Big Mom, the owner of the big sword in front of him is relatively normal.

The weapon he used was almost as tall as himself.

He stretched out his hand, clenched it, and raised the greatsword - the greatsword did not move at all.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised, then he held his breath and concentrated, using his still intact right hand to gather his strength.

Still not moving at all!

"You must be joking! Even if I'm not in good shape right now, I should still be able to lift several hundred kilograms with one hand, right? Even if it's solid steel, it shouldn't be able to move at all!"

This thing must weigh several tons... Considering its volume, even steel shouldn't have such a mass.

"Special ore?"

After carefully stroking it back and forth for a while, I can indeed feel that the material is different from pure steel. It is more delicate and smoother, a bit like the touch of amber, but the hardness is completely different.

I knocked on it with my knuckles, but there was no sound, so it seemed to be a solid piece.

"This is a material I've never seen before, but how can I use this thing in battle?"

Under One Piece's power system, human physical fitness can be improved to a terrifying level. Strong physical warriors can even compete with the mass of a warship. For example, Zoro can use hundreds of kilograms of fitness equipment for exercise.

However, "weight that can be lifted" and "weight that can be wielded in combat" are definitely not the same concept.

Even the brave generals in classical novels who were able to defeat thousands of men only carried weapons weighing a few dozen kilograms.

Jiang Liu couldn't shake this black sword. Its mass was probably measured in tons. He could use this thing to fight...

In terms of strength, he is not inferior to the giants. Considering that his body size is no different from that of an ordinary person, this "Alcides" is probably really like the one in Greece, an unparalleled strongman.

"Uh..." After a moment's silence, Jiang Liu pursed his lips, suddenly feeling unwilling to accept the result.

Perhaps it was his admiration for the great hero in the myth that aroused Jiang Liu's rivalry with the character of the same name here, or perhaps it was simply because his self-esteem was too strong. Jiang Liu knew that it was difficult to lift this with his own wrist strength, but he still did not give up.

At least move one or two centimeters!

"call--"

Not only did he use breathing techniques, he even used Armament Haki, hoping to sway his composure a little.

As a result, as soon as he picked up the sword this time, Jiang Liu felt an inexplicable suction coming from the giant sword. The armament domineering aura that was supposed to be used to wrap around his arm was actually drawn away like metal attracted by a magnet and poured into the sword body.

"Ugh?"

Startled by this, Jiang Liu subconsciously raised his hand, but found that the giant sword was much lighter than before. He did not accumulate any strength, but just exerted his strength hastily and lifted the giant sword several inches.

Jiang Liu's expression froze, but before he had the time to think about the principle behind it, the weight of the giant sword suddenly increased again, almost crushing Jiang Liu's wrist. Fortunately, he pulled his hand away in time and escaped the disaster.

"Keng!"

The giant sword fell on the sarcophagus, making a dull sound. Fortunately, the sarcophagus was of good quality and there was no damage.

After this incident, Jiang Liu stood there in a daze for a moment, moving his wrist while thinking, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"It's Haki! This thing actually requires Haki to control!"

Just like those magic weapons in novels about cultivating immortals that need to be driven by magic power, and no matter how strong a mortal is, he cannot shake it without magic power, this giant sword made of unknown material actually needs to be infused with armed color domineering before it can be used normally!

However, its "appetite" is quite large. Although Jiang Liu cannot "harden" it now, he can already barely attach it to the surface of his body. Even in the New World, he is considered a master, but such strength is not enough for the giant sword to use for half a second...

I guess, in order to wield this sword normally, at least one must be able to "harden" any part of the body and control the armament color at will.

"its not right……"

Jiang Liu thought of another problem, that is, there is no such thing as a space ring in the world of One Piece. Except for Lulu's Printing Fruit, most people carry weapons with them.

Then this sword...there are two possibilities.

One is that Alcides has cultivated the Armament Haki to the level where it is like a "passive skill" and can be used anytime and anywhere, just like Jiang Liu's "Breathing Method".

Secondly, he normally does not use his domineering power, but carries this huge sword with him to build up his physical strength.

In fact, the cultivation of Armament Haki is related to physical strength, so it is very likely that it is a combination of both...

No matter which possibility it is, it is enough to prove that Alcides is a truly strong man!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu took one last look at the giant black sword and his heart was moved.

Wouldn't it be perfect to use this to train your Armament Haki?

But then he shook his head: This thing is just like the "Black Iron Heavy Sword" of a certain one-armed hero. It requires life-long practice to master. With Jiang Liu's current condition, he can't withstand such rigorous training.

No matter what, you still have to heal your wounds!

"Okay, let's go out and find a way to fill our stomachs first."

If this is the Amazon Lily in the original novel, then it is still quite dangerous for Jiang Liu, after all, it is a restricted area for men.

He didn't think he could have the same luck and treatment as Luffy, who could capture the Empress by accident and take the Kingdom of Women as a dowry...

Chapter 96: Mushrooms on a Man's Body

After jumping out of the big hole he had smashed into, Jiang Liu found himself on a mausoleum in a dense forest.

Although it is called a mausoleum, it actually looks more like an indigenous temple. Many tough vines are entwined on the stone pillars, and the steps are covered with weeds. Although it looks quite large, it seems that few people come here to worship.

Survival in the wild was not difficult for Jiang Liu. Even when seriously injured, he could easily deal with most wild beasts. It didn't take long for Jiang Liu to hunt down a big-horned deer.

At this moment, the horror of the divine physique was revealed. His injuries had healed a lot in this short while. After eating the barbecue, not only did he get rid of his hunger, but he also recovered some of his strength. Except for his left shoulder that was kicked by Kizaru, he could move his body without any hindrance.

"Although there is not much seasoning, the meat is still good." Jiang Liu used the Immortal Sword to cut the roasted venison. After wrapping all the edible parts with leaves, he immediately put out the fire.

"Dinner is also taken care of."

Although it is called "Amazon", this island does not have a tropical rainforest climate. At most, the vegetation is relatively dense. There is no stuffy miasma in it. On the contrary, the climate feels pleasant. It is a rare and good place.

The island is not small in size, but it does not have many residents. At least Jiang Liu did not encounter any humans after wandering for a while, but instead found a very clear lake.

Looking at himself, he found that his clothes were already in a mess due to dust and blood. Although he couldn't see it, his face was probably not in much better condition either.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Liu took off his clothes and put them on the shore, but still carried the Immortal Sword with him, and slowly stepped into the lake from the shallow water.

He is now also a Devil Fruit user, and accidents may happen if he rashly takes a bath outside the bathtub, so Jiang Liu was very careful. He stopped only when the water surface just reached his thighs, and began to splash water on his body to clean it.

Perhaps it was the ocean divinity of the "Messenger of Waves" at work. Although half of his body was submerged in water, Jiang Liu did not feel anything wrong. He just felt a little tired, and his body felt "heavier" than on land.

He washed off the blood on his body with water, then gritted his teeth and used his only intact right hand to forcibly reconnect the broken bones in his body. The severe pain made Jiang Liu break out in cold sweat, which mixed with the water droplets on his body and dripped onto the lake surface.

If a normal person did this, not only would they not be able to set the bones, they would definitely suffer from sequelae. It was only because Jiang Liu was confident in his special physique that he dared to treat himself.

However, these injuries are easy to treat, but the left shoulder that Kizaru kicked was almost a comminuted fracture, which he certainly cannot treat by himself. He needs medicine and help from others.

Given the current conditions, this seems unlikely...
