Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

As for why the wind changes direction and the fog rises?

It’s nothing but the “protection of the sun god”.

Whether it is to make the air flow or to condense water vapor, it can be achieved by slightly changing the surrounding temperature, which is not a difficult task for La.

In fact, now La can easily control the weather in an area of ​​the sea without anyone noticing, and is a true weather expert.

After confirming that John and his men had landed on Gret Island, La finally retracted his extremely wide-range Observation Haki and instead activated a more precise energy vision.

In an instant, every move of the dozen people on the island was clearly reflected in La's eyes.

Specks of golden light flowed in her eyes, like the shimmering lake under the setting sun, or the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.

The stars are bright and shining.

No one noticed that in the depths of those beautiful yet unusually calm eyes, a murderous intent that could move the stars was slowly brewing.

A young god who accidentally falls into this world will, for the first time, personally take away the intelligent life that grows here.

Chapter 93 John: Uneasy

On the north shore of Grid Island, a pirate ship quietly docked at a hidden bay. Then dozens of figures jumped over the scratched side of the ship and jumped off the ship.

Each of these people carried a weapon with them, and some of them were carrying some wooden barrels and cloth bags. It seemed that they were going to the island to replenish some necessary supplies such as fresh water, fruits and food.

Greet Island itself is actually an uninhabited island.

Because its geographical location is too close to the doldrums and there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts on the island, no humans have settled here.

However, occasionally a passing ship would stop by the island for a short rest, but this is quite rare.

Basically, this is a forgotten island in the New World.

It is precisely because of Gret Island's extremely low presence that John chose it as the last supply station before leaving the New World.

After all, too many people and too many eyes will always cause some unnecessary trouble, and John doesn't want to stay in the cabin all the time. On this uninhabited island, he can also go out for a walk without worry.

Of course, there is actually another more important reason, which is that the location here is actually quite close to the Red Earth Continent.

He had previously kept saying that the goal of his trip was to return to "Paradise", but this was actually just to paralyze others.

No matter how stupid he was, he would never so carelessly say his true intentions when he already suspected someone of leaking the information.

Stop the ship at this remote island, and then let the other people on the ship go to the island to find supplies, giving them the opportunity to act alone...

The purpose of John's arrangement was to let them seize this last chance to reveal their 'intentions' and 'locations'.

The location he chose, which is close to the Red Earth Continent, and the "leakage" of information from the crew on board, surely the people behind the scenes will have no doubt that his next stop will be the first half of the Grand Line.

Once the false information gets out, these people will be useless.

From the very beginning, John had no intention of letting anyone on the boat go, nor did he plan to return to any "paradise".

He would kill everyone on this island and then go straight through the Calm to the Four Seas.

……

And that day, John suddenly killed Fowle, saying that he had never trusted him because he leaked the secret...

These are actually just excuses. After all, he never trusted anyone from the beginning to the end.

The reason why John was so decisive in getting rid of the other party was simply because the strength of For and Bob was beyond his control at that time.

The injury he suffered was far more serious than it appeared.

Although he acted calm and composed, the combination of Shiki's slash and the violent impact of the dynamite rock explosion made it almost impossible for him to mobilize his Haki for a while.

Although he recovered later, he could only barely deal with one of Babu or Forle. Once the two of them formed an alliance, it would be difficult for him to control the situation.

Judge others by yourself. No one likes to put their fate in the hands of others, let alone a big pirate like him who is used to betrayal and estrangement.

Now, everything is going according to John's plan, and soon he will be able to swim into the sea and fly into the sky like a fish... This is how it should be.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!"

The pirate who manipulated everything did not appear to be very wise or confident at this moment.

On the contrary, the sense of pleasure and peace of mind were leaving him.

John seemed inexplicably impatient now, even throwing aside the bottle of wine that he usually kept in his hand.

Seeing that Forle's men had already disembarked to collect fresh water and food as ordered, Babu also left the cabin and walked into the thick fog...

But John, who was left alone on the boat, became increasingly uneasy.

This was a feeling of unease without any signs or clues, accompanied by a faint, spine-chilling feeling of being watched.

Everything happened suddenly the moment the boat docked on the island.

This feeling of being watched is very weak, almost the same as the feeling brought by those unintentional gazes falling on oneself. It should be impossible to be noticed under normal circumstances.

But the inner uneasiness at this moment made John's nerves extremely sensitive, which allowed him to slightly catch this vague gaze.

But John didn't sense any murderous intent in this gaze, not even any malice. It was a gaze that seemed to contain no emotion at all!

Just like, just like the sun shining on you.

Yes! It feels like the sun in the sky suddenly opens its eyes and looks at you!

Anxiety, fear, horror...all these emotions were like a python wrapped around John, tightening around him.

John tried to use his Observation Haki to carefully search everything around him, but this kind of aimless blind exploration naturally resulted in nothing.

"Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is that?!"

Feeling uneasy, he began to pace back and forth in the cabin, while his right hand unconsciously tightened the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Finally, John, who was tortured beyond endurance, left the cabin and came to the island.

The entire island was shrouded in fog at this time, and the extremely low visibility made it almost impossible for John to see the dense forest nearby.

The same was true of the sea behind him, with thick fog on all sides.

The abnormal weather made John, who had originally planned to get off the boat to see the scenery to ease his panic, even more uneasy.

Breathing the misty air of the island, John forced himself to calm down, but his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist clenched even tighter.

"Could it be that those men of For can't wait to kill me, so they set something up on the island?"

"Or is it that guy Babu..."

He had always known that Forle's men had murderous intentions towards him, but he didn't care.

It is impossible for him, who was the overlord of the sea not long ago, to care about the assassination of such a small fry, just like the sea emperors of later generations would not care about the assassination of those small pirates.

As for Bob, he was in some trouble.

The opponent's fruit ability is too tricky. Once you miss the attack and let the opponent escape, it will be very difficult to catch him again.

He doesn't have that much time to play hide-and-seek with the other party.

But there is no way, who let the other party know my whereabouts?

And he dared to covet my treasure! That is my treasure! Captain John's treasure! He must die!

Should we use a sneak attack like before, or poison them? Or should we wait until the ship is at sea...?

Just as John was thinking about what to do, he suddenly felt that the sight disappeared.

Then I felt relieved, and all the fear and anxiety disappeared, and even the fog seemed to dissipate a little.

"Whoo~"

John let out a long sigh and slightly loosened his grip on the knife handle. His palms were now covered in sweat.

……

Wow! As an author, my power should be unlimited?! Why do I need to subscribe to read my own book?! It's impossible!

Damn it! I'll remember this grudge!

Chapter 94 The Vicious Babu

At the same time, in a dense forest on the island, Wright and his group were staring at Babu with grim expressions.

Next to the other side was the huge corpse of an unknown beast and several injured crew members who were lying on the ground and wailing.

Apparently, several people misjudged the beast's strength and paid the price for it.

"What are you doing here?"

Light asked unkindly as he looked up at Babu, who was sitting on the beast's body.

"Well, well, don't be so nervous. I saved your friend."

"If I hadn't intervened in time, those guys would have become someone else's breakfast."

Babu said with a grin as he patted the beast beneath him.

"First Officer Wright, yes, I'm sorry. We..."

The injured pirates wanted to say something, but Light interrupted them: "No need to apologize, I'm glad you're all right."

After comforting the injured crew, he turned back to Babu:

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Haha~"

"It's convenient to deal with smart people like you~"

Seeing this, Babu didn't keep the question secret and said directly, "'Golden City - Shandora', you know where it is, right?"

When hearing the word "Shandora", not only Wright, but everyone present had their pupils shrink!

"'Shandora'? Isn't that a story from the Liar's picture book? I didn't expect someone like you to read picture books."

Wright continued to speak calmly.

"Tsk~ I just praised you for being smart~"

"I've been so open and honest with you, and you still want to hide it? That's really too much~"

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"The ship's log, the ancient text, the 'Golden City', the fratricide... I heard everything you conspired that day~"

Babu pointed to his ears, and the mockery in his eyes became even more intense.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the truth had been revealed. Wright gave up trying to laugh it off and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Seeing this, the other pirates around also tightened their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Wright asked coldly.

"Oh~ You're asking such a stupid question? I'm obviously here to kill you~"

Babu still had his arms crossed over his chest, as if he was completely unaware of the murderous intent from the other side.

"Stop joking. If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now?"

"Tell me what your purpose is. Do you want the coordinates of the 'Golden Country' or something else? Let's draw a line."

"Haha! It's really convenient to talk to smart people."

Babu laughed loudly, then turned over and jumped down.

"I'll be frank. I also want to kill that guy John. Let's work together."

When these words were spoken, everyone except Wright was stunned.

An impulsive pirate stepped forward and shouted:

"Are you kidding us? You and John are clearly in cahoots, and now you're talking about killing him!"

But Babu didn't bother to pay attention to the pirate. He just stared at Light, waiting for him to speak.

"..."

"reason."

"It's simple. John wanted to kill me, so I had to kill him first to protect myself."

This time, Babu did not use his usual joking tone, but answered Wright in a cold tone.
