Chapter 204: The Tower of Babel
"Whew... Whew..."
"Whew... Whew..."
The scorching sun was in the sky, and it was noon, the sun was not weaker, looking up, there was not a single cloud to be found, and the whole sky seemed to have become the home of the scorching sun, and the blazing flames cut through the empty blue, and the earth gradually warmed up.

Luffy leaned against a shady place, squatting in the corner, looking at the soles of his feet, every place here was hot, and after a long time, he even had hallucinations.
A whole day had passed, and everyone seemed to have disappeared, and it was only five minutes of emptiness, and even the shadows of people could no longer be seen, there was nothing here, only the high wall opposite, and the earth-colored fortress could not be seen upward, and directly below was a big boot.
Luffy knew that this was Usopp's boots, and he was the only one of them who would wear such a ridiculous thing.
“......”
Luffy leaned against the sand slope, feeling the little strength left in his body.
After a day in the desert, his throat seemed to be filled with wind and sand, Luffy grabbed a handful of yellow sand in one hand, and for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and walked towards the wall.
Hiking through dozens of meters of sandy road, sweat continued to drip on the dry ground, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a wisp of green smoke, and when it was close, Luffy grabbed the funny toe boots, untied the shoelaces, and wrapped them around himself at once, tying a dead knot.
"Wait for me, everyone!"
The next moment, the boy tore his shirt violently, revealing strong muscles, and the six-pack abdominal muscles in the lower abdomen were extremely strong, and they looked quite strong.
"Ho!"
Looking at each other from a distance, the boy jumped suddenly, and climbed dozens of meters in a big leap, and then, his arms suddenly unfolded, and he flew out more than ten meters at once, tightly on the protruding solid stone on the wall, and even jumped with the body below, and flew out for nearly 100 meters at once.
In this way, Luffy continued to leap upwards and quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed a few hundred meters, and there was still not a trace of wind in the air, and the earth was silent like dead stars.
After climbing high, about 100 meters, the shadow of the ground can no longer be seen, the air has become thin, the stones on the wall have become hotter and hotter, and the most important thing is that the number of stones on the wall has begun to decrease.
From the first dozen or so, until now, you need to see the direction clearly before reaching out, Luffy has been stranded for longer and longer, and his arm is almost unconscious.
Unconsciously, the boy had gambled his life, it didn't matter, Luffy stuck one hand into the solid wall, threw the other hand in the direction of the sky, tightly grabbed the stone above his head, and jumped suddenly, Luffy pulled his arm fiercely, and in mid-air, the stone was actually broken by him and fell out of the wall.
The next moment, the hot magma burst out!
With the scarlet stones, the magma poured out, and although it was at an altitude of up to a thousand meters, no one could doubt the power of the magma. It was still steaming, and when he got closer, Luffy could feel the straw hat on his head burning.
If Ablis and Kirby were here right now, they would blurt out in horror - a burning meteorite!
Narrowly and narrowly dodging the falling meteorite, Luffy's eyes were bland, he couldn't see the sunny day, and he quickly stretched out his hand to the bulge on the right, stretched violently, and the person flew over, which was able to escape a catastrophe.
This kind of situation, he has experienced more than once just now, the more upward, the more unstable the raised stone on the wall, the slightest attention will come out of the magma, fortunately although the stone is hot, but not to the point of burning, in just a few minutes, the ten fingers of the boy's palm are covered with a thick layer of dead skin, the red light of the stone, but not very hot.
Shout!
Another big leap!
Gradually, Luffy already felt that his body was going to be unable to support it, he grabbed the burning meteorite with one hand, stopped, and could feel that his finger bones were constantly trembling, and kept changing his hands, Luffy took another breath out of nowhere, and his arm flung over, and this time he flew out for nearly a hundred meters!
"Whew!"
He was accumulating power, each time it took longer than the last time, but the speed didn't slow down much, and suddenly, when Luffy once again grabbed his hands on the stone above his head, he was so shocked that he almost let go of his hands.
"Ahh
The great contrast made Luffy a little unable to come back to his senses, and after falling dozens of meters, Luffy grabbed the meteorite with one hand and remained motionless again.
Luffy glanced at his palm in a daze, the fingers of the ten fingers were already black, this is a situation that only happens when extreme cold meets extreme heat, Luffy rubbed his hands, and glanced up with a strange face, only to see that the wall had changed color, even though the scorching sun was in the sky, the wall above his head actually showed a crystal blue color, faintly, the more upward, the more blue and deep.
Abyssal meteorites, or ice stones, are often regarded as heirlooms, and at this time, on top of Luffy's head, like cow hair, dense and dazzling, Luffy didn't know what it was, and his hands were on a large burning meteorite, his ears were close to the wall, and he slowly climbed up.
The wall is almost entirely made of sand, and for some reason, it just stands, Luffy is afraid of piercing through the magma layer, so he listens carefully and finds that there is nothing unusual, so he stabs into the wall with one hand.
The more he went up, the looser the wall became, which was also convenient for Luffy, and he was now pulling the wall and slowly climbing up, but it wasn't too difficult, just be careful not to pierce the magma wall.
Getting closer, the wall began to get colder, Luffy learned smartly this time, first after adapting to the temperature at this stage, then he climbed up again, slowly, he had come to the ice crystal layer, where the wall was not as strong as it could be, fortunately there were protruding blue stones, Luffy began to do his old job again, soaring into the air.
The strange thing is that at this time, the originally thin air, as Luffy climbs up, actually becomes richer, Luffy was still a little out of breath at first, crawling and crawling, but he actually felt that his whole body was getting stronger and stronger, and his speed became faster.
As if he had been favored by the heavens, Luffy only felt that he had survived the blazing stage just now, and his body was gushing with endless energy.
The ice is very short, only about a few hundred meters away.
After calculation, Luffy has almost climbed a height of nearly five thousand meters, and even Kirby is difficult to do at this time.
"Huh?"
Crawling numbly for a distance, suddenly touching the real roots with one hand, Luffy looked up, his face was happy, because the ice was so easy to climb, just like the roots of an old tree, the roots were solid.
Looking at the roots of the tree in front of him, Luffy actually gushed out a strange feeling, and after a short hesitation, Luffy gently bit down on the roots.
It's been a whole day, Luffy's stomach is already empty, and at this time, even the boy himself doesn't know why he wants to gnaw on the roots, Luffy just thinks that the roots look delicious, and even he thinks he's crazy.
It's just that the feeling of melting in the mouth, and there is a slight coolness, which surprised Luffy, and he took a few bites in succession, only to feel that his stomach could no longer hold on, so Luffy gave up.
Looking up again, I saw that the wall in front of me had completely departed from the common sense of architecture, and the wall that was originally ninety degrees, straight up and down, was now becoming more and more parallel, and when it came into contact with the roots, I could already see the top of the tower, Luffy looked at the one hundred and eighty degree wall not far above his head, and felt a little terrifying.
If it was still the previous wall, Luffy might want to give up, but looking at the tangled roots, Luffy suddenly gushed out with an indescribable pride, Luffy pulled it out with one hand, tightly grasped the thick roots, and the whole person hung on the wall parallel to the earth, like an ape in the jungle, constantly leaping out towards the outward direction of the abduction.
"Wait for me, everyone!"
