Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Having learned of this statement beforehand, he immediately thought of the Evil Duke when he noticed that Shizuka Marikawa was unhappy. Although he was more curious about what would happen if he didn't listen to the Evil Duke's advice, he still handled the situation normally considering that it was his Shizuka.

Besides him, only Jorogumo, who knows Shizuka Marikawa very well, Saeko Busujima, and Rika Minami probably understand the reason. As for Genten Lumo, the assassin who had only known the people on the ship for a day?

Looking at her sneer-filled eyes, Xu Lun felt as if she understood as well.

After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Does a baby who doesn't cry or fuss not get milk?"

[Level Three Evil Deed: Yuan Tianlu Demon recalled some ominous memories, which has caused her to currently suppress the urge to stab you to death with the chopsticks in her hand.]

The Duke of Evil was immediately accused.

Jolyne: "..."

He began to wonder if the Duke of Evil's claim that Yuan Tianlu Demon cried last night had actually happened.

"Duck, I sincerely apologize to you."

"Please shut up, my great Darwin."

Yuan Tianlu chewed on white rice, her whole demeanor becoming much more depressed. Boqi Jiang, sitting next to her, looked at everything with utter bewilderment, equally confused as she had been observing from below.

What kind of child doesn't cry or make a fuss?

Are you all riddle solvers?

How can such a short and abrupt statement achieve the effect of a perfect ending to a conversation?

"By the way, what does that chain look like?"

Joan of Arc suddenly asked, as she was extremely curious about what the chains that could enslave the Master in her dreams looked like.

Hmm... She was just curious and had absolutely no intention of actually creating the chains in the future. Even if she did, she would never use them on her Master!

"Black, I've forgotten the specific details."

Jolyne's right eyelid twitched.

"real or fake?"

Joan of Arc was suspicious of the explanation, feeling that her Master was deliberately withholding the information from her.

Chapter 516 Rare Beast Island

In the afternoon.

The storm has subsided.

Because the treasure map was too rudimentary, even Nami had difficulty determining the exact coordinates. After the Hound of the Faced deviated from its planned route and arrived at a general area, it wandered around in circles for a long time before finally finding an unrecorded island using its shipboard radar.

"Captain, we've arrived."

Nami put down her binoculars. Apart from the dense vegetation, the island in the distance had no other notable features. It looked like an ordinary deserted island, and there were at least eighty or a hundred such islands in the East China Sea.

This made Nami a little nervous. She was certain she hadn't gone to the wrong location of the treasure, but she was afraid the treasure map was fake or the treasure had already been taken.

The captain had already decided on the ownership of the Devil Fruit before even getting it. What if they couldn't find the Devil Fruit after arriving on the island?

Will she be sunk into the East China Sea?

At this moment, Jolyne, having observed the island's situation through her eye-holes, discovered something interesting.

"So this is the island."

"Do you know the captain?"

"Rare Beast Island, a strange island with many rare and exotic beasts and an old man."

Between Shells Town and Orange Town lies an unmarked, deserted island. This is the island that Luffy, Nami, and Zoro encountered early in the manga. Note that this is the same island as the one in the movie, where Chopper joined the crew.

The main content of episode 22 is:

Luffy and his crew drifted to the island, where they encountered a strange man named Camon. Camon, whose name was similar to that of Colonel Morgan, was originally a pirate who accidentally fell and got stuck in a treasure chest while retrieving it. He missed the deadline and was left behind on the island by his crew. He then lived in the treasure chest with the island's rare animals for twenty years, constantly intimidating outsiders to protect the treasure. It wasn't until Luffy and his crew arrived that they discovered the treasure chest he had been guarding for twenty years was empty.

Luffy even invited Camon to join the crew, but he chose to stay and continue protecting the rare beasts.

After listening to Jolyne's introduction, everyone became interested in the island in front of them. Of course, what interested them was the strange and wonderful creatures on the island. As for the twenty years of perseverance, they could express their admiration later.

"A snake with rabbit ears."

"Could the Devil Fruit be inside the treasure chest?"

"I want to experience the beauty of land; the feeling of drifting on a boat is just too awful."

"Since we have such intelligent rare beasts, should we hunt a few more to have a taste?"

Kanroji Mitsuri hesitated, saying that these rare beasts were being protected by people, but her conscience was immediately refuted by Marikawa Shizuka.

"Mitsu, where is your ambition?!"

Since you've set your sights on tasting all the delicacies of the infinite world of Paradise, you must be determined to sample even the rare and exotic demon race's holy son.

Kanroji Mitsuri: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

"I hope there's no danger on the island. The park has warned us to be careful. I have a feeling that a lot of dangers might suddenly appear on these special islands, just like in the horror movie I watched a few days ago, where several ancient giant crocodiles suddenly jumped out from behind the dense forest." Saeko Busujima set the most terrifying flag in a relaxed tone.

Because they were sailing at sea, the horror movies they chose were the most atmospheric "Escape from the Island" and the same series "Escape from the Cruise Ship." Nami's smile froze as she thought of the scenes in the movie.

She chuckled awkwardly, "Probably not?"

"Of course... there's a high probability."

Nanri Kaori analyzed rationally, "The fish in the sea have all mutated into creatures with two heads and three arms. It's not surprising that these creatures, which were already strange in the captain's words, have been corrupted by the abyss and turned into slimy and disgusting tentacle monsters."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yukino and Nami, who had not yet returned to their apartment, silently took a few steps back.

Just as they were talking, the Human-Faced Dog had already stopped on the shore of Rare Beast Island through ghost transformation. The dark green forest looked extremely gloomy and terrifying at this moment, as if it could suddenly kill someone like in a horror movie at any time.

“Tentacle monsters aren’t common in the Abyss, and the corrupted there are more accustomed to retaining their human form.” Jolyne took the lead, pulling the hound with human faces down the escalator. “Don’t worry about any accidents. I just used my eye to look into the depths of the island, but my detection was blocked by something. So, this island of rare beasts is bound to produce some strange demons and corrupted beings.”

"This only makes me more worried!!!"

Nami raised her hand without hesitation and said, "I request to stay on the Hound of the Humanface to watch the ship."

Princess Goldfish: "Coward."

"The combatants on the ship have all landed on the island. Nami, isn't it more dangerous for you to stay here?"

It's worth noting that in horror movies, just as many characters die from splitting up during action as those killed in a sudden, direct attack.

The captain's words made perfect sense, so Nami decisively retracted her previous statement and rushed to Jolyne's side with Yukino and Fuyuki in a few quick steps. "Please, Captain, do your best to protect your weak navigator."

"The braised egg is yours now."

Yuan Tianlu Demon: "???"

Why would she give it to her? After the workshop plundered all her abilities, she had nothing left. Yuan Tianlumo didn't dare to take out the equipment and items in her space, fearing that Xu Lun would see them and snatch them away without returning them. After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Tianlumo finally opened her space, thinking that she would take out the worst-looking spiked club for self-defense.

Then Yuan Tianlu Mo discovered that the compass she used to track Jolyne was glowing.

However, an unexpected incident occurred after they arrived on the island, and it was clear that the island did not welcome outsiders.

The island of rare beasts was polluted. When the group stepped onto the rocky beach, it was like playing a role-playing game where each volume required clearing more than a dozen levels. A terrifying howl came from the dense forest, and more than a dozen alien demons with giraffe heads, grizzly bear bodies, and burning charcoal on their bellies launched a frenzied charge.

With their earth-shattering power alone, they can cosplay as fire-headed trolls in fantasy worlds, carving out breaches in organized human armies, and even wreaking havoc in ordinary everyday worlds, committing massacres in cities.

Yukino Fuyuki remained relatively calm, after all, she had fought when she was a follower, but the peaceful life of the past few years had made her forget the taste of blood, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the corner of Jolyne's clothes in her palm.

The next moment, Saeko Busujima unleashed dozens of irregular moon blades from her sword. The demons, unable to stop due to inertia, were instantly covered in chunks of flesh of varying sizes as they charged, turning the golden sand a dark red color.

Although she snatched the Great Grade Sword Wado Ichimonji from the green-haired man, and the Wado Ichimonji's panel effects were quite good, Saeko Busujima still preferred to use her own Hollow Crying God because the hilt of that sword had been bitten and pickled for so long.

Chapter 517 Players on the Island of Rare Beasts

The Void Crying God was originally Kokushibo's weapon, but Jolyne pulled it out of the Paradise Chest. It has the special effect of devouring flesh and blood to continue evolving, but unfortunately Jolyne didn't use it many times before obtaining the better equipment, the Shadow Emperor.

then,

Jolyne gave it to Saeko Busujima.

Saeko Busujima, who inherited all of Kokushibo's legacy, had previously crafted a unique weapon using her own flesh and blood through the Blood Demon Art - Invisible Sword Aura. It had the same origin as the Hollow Cry God, and since she had no intention of practicing dual-wielding, Saeko Busujima fused and reforged the two, creating the current Hollow Cry God ProMax.

Not only can it devour flesh and blood to evolve, but it can also greatly enhance the power of sword light.

If she were to face Kokushibo again, Saeko Busujima could kill the demon with three slashes, and she would slaughter this group of demons without giving her companions a chance to interfere.

"They're just a few first-level demons. Don't be too afraid. Just treat it as a sightseeing trip."

Jolyne comforted Yukino in the depths of winter.

Nami, standing to the side, smiled. She just wanted to know how this bloody scene could be treated as a tourist attraction. Moreover, she was more afraid of Saeko Busujima than the other demons. This method of turning potatoes into potato chips was just too terrifying!

Before anyone knew it, Jolyne's ten crew members had already formed part of the Straw Hat crew's lineup. The bad news was that the bond they had formed was that of a weak trio.

Nami, Goldfish Princess, and Shizuka Marikawa.

"That's right... just treat it as sightseeing."

Princess Goldfish was afraid but she didn't say it. Nami was afraid and would scream for help. Shizuka Marikawa was too trusting of everyone, so she wasn't afraid. She was even picking up the limbs on the ground to study the pollution. She tilted her head and finally gave up trying to understand.

Faced with the complexities of the extraordinary, it's no wonder she became a bit lazy. After all, the medical knowledge she learned in the first half of her life was completely useless, so she might as well go to the workshop and pick out a healing ability seed.

"Darwin, there are two players on this island who are in the same mission mode as you."

Yuantian Lumo displays a tracking compass.

There are 20 players in the Survival Road game. Yuan Tian Lu Mo caught an unlucky guy and stole his tracking compass. He intended to find them one by one, but he didn't expect to run into the mission target directly.

After being captured by Xu Lun, so many things happened that no one reminded Yuan Tianlu Mo to hand over the tracking compass. If she hadn't checked the Paradise Space just now, she would have forgotten that she had this item.

Now, looking at it, the black grid compass has twenty red and green dots distributed on it, with two red and two green dots almost overlapping each other.

"Are there still players on the rare beast island?"

Jolyne took the tracking compass and wondered if the highest level of the players she was playing with was only level 10. Could they have already died on the Island of Rare Beasts?

"Why are there still twenty dots on this?"

Nami leaned closer to take a look, clinging to the captain's arm with both hands, ignoring the distorted shirt. However, she didn't look as glamorous as she would have two years later; she gave off more of a lively girl-next-door vibe.

After spending these past few days together, Nami has managed to uncover a lot of information.

For example, Captain Jolyne joined a Hunger Games involving twenty people; Captain Jolyne provoked a powerful enemy known as the Yin-Yang Road; and Captain Jolyne's purpose in going to the Xuanwu Kingdom in the Grand Line was to eliminate the evil Hunter organization that ruled the country.

She felt as if she were on a ship about to crash into an underwater volcano. She needed to grab her bucket and run away as soon as possible to have a chance to survive. She also needed to save Cocoa Village and couldn't die on the way.

"We've already killed one of the boiled eggs, so why are there still twenty points on the compass?"

"Because the compass tracks not the player, but the quest item in the player's hand. The tracking compass will show a red dot on the tracking compass, and the record pointer will show a green dot on the tracking compass. This is to prevent captains from hiding the hunter's target."

Xu Lun introduced her to him.

The world of One Piece has logistics, such as the shipping kings of the underground dark world, or the newspaper-carrying seagulls that rely on the sky to spread newspapers throughout the entire sea. If the tracking compass is tracking the player himself, then wouldn't the player be able to throw the log pointer to a courier company and have it delivered directly to Xuanwu Kingdom, and then face the hunter holding the tracking compass without any worries?

The hunters were dumbfounded. They had finally defeated the enemy but couldn't get the item. They even had to revive the captain to find out where the Log Pose was. The attacking side was forced into becoming the passive side.

Or rather, just preventing their enemies from obtaining the coveted Log Pose is enough for the captains to pull off all sorts of crazy maneuvers, and in the end, there might only be two or three winners in this game.

"Why don't we just throw the props away?"

Nami still didn't understand. She didn't know the root cause of this battle. From the words, she immediately understood that if the tracking compass only locked the recording pointer, then the captain could simply abandon the item to avoid being hunted down.

"It's impossible to throw away these twenty people."

Jolyne gazed into the dense forest.

The tracking compass showed four points, indicating that in addition to himself, two other unknown players had accidentally entered the island. Since the park would not leave a level 10 player here as the starting point, the most likely scenario is that one of the hunters and the captains went to the island to escape pursuit.

And he will see him soon.

Unnoticed by anyone, the black sun silently spread its wings from the treetops, like a dappled shadow probing into the depths of the rare beast island.

Now that he knows there are players, he can't underestimate his fellow countrymen. If he accidentally helps these two solve their problem while attacking the rare beast island, and the players inside escape with the Devil Fruit, then Yuan Tianlu Demon will really point at Jolyne's red nose and laugh at him, "You're getting your comeuppance for making me accumulate villain points every day."

Although the Duke of Evil has no villain value at all.

The core source of pollution on Rare Animal Island.
