Chapter 254: The King of the Near Sea

July 1513.

East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa, Windmill Village.

The weather was originally quite clear, but with a thunderous explosion, the rain poured down again.

Magino, the proprietress of the only tavern in the village, put down the rag in her hand, came to the window, and looked at the weather outside the window with some concern, it is now the rainy season, and it has rained almost every day these days, and I don't know if Luffy and Ace's two children will catch a cold.

The last time Magino went to Gorpo Mountain, the headquarters of the Dadan family, Ace and Luffy were making an independent fuss, and the two and a half children built two small cabins by themselves outside the Dadan family's house, and then lived in them, and they didn't know if it would leak rain, and if they caught a cold, would the people of the Dadan family be able to take care of them.

And if this continues, I am afraid that the crop harvest will also be affected.

The kind-hearted Magino looked at the sky, put his hands together subconsciously, and prayed silently, and another dazzling white light pierced through the dark clouds, and then rolling thunder came from the sky, and the windows trembled.

But at this time, Magino had no time to marvel at how big the thunder was, she looked at the sky in amazement, and when the lightning appeared, she clearly saw a huge umbrella-like thing appearing in her sight, and there seemed to be a person hanging below.

Magino hurriedly ran out of the door, raised his hand to shield himself from the rain, nervously searched the sky, and another lightning bolt flashed, Magino finally saw clearly at this time, it was a person with a parachute on his back, and knew that what he had just seen was not her delusion.

Magino had seen parachutes in newspapers, William had used hot air balloons to map and summarize the weather, and sometimes the staff would inevitably have some accidents, for which William set aside a part of the reward, and informed the newspaper in the East China Sea that local residents could get a part of the prize if they helped these fallen technicians.

Magino kept an eye on the position of the parachute, and at the same time called out loudly to the people in the village for help, she had just noticed that the person under the parachute was motionless, and I was afraid that the situation was not good.

Magino was very popular in the village, and many people who heard her shouts ran out of the door, thinking that she was in some danger, and it was only after Magino trotted to the parachute landing place that they explained that they knew what had happened.

A few men who were running fast waited for Magino to show them the way, then shook off Magino and ran over with a smoke.

The parachute eventually landed in the sea outside the village, and by the time Magino arrived panting, there was a crowd of people on the shore, and there was a white cloth floating in the sea, dotted with a trace of red blood, and then washed away by the sea, but no one showed up.

Among the villagers on the shore, someone was shouting, "Where's the fisherman, hurry up and save the people!"

"Go to a doctor personally!"

After a while, the fisherman also came panting, but he did not mean to get on the boat: "This season is the day when the 'King of the Near Sea' haunts, and if you look at the blood floating on the sea, you may not know when the King of the Near Sea will appear ......." ”

When the village chief Upu Slap, who had already hurried to arrive, heard this, he hurriedly reprimanded: "You are afraid of the 'King of the Sea', not afraid of Morgan William? That person must be his person, if he knows that we will not be saved in the face of death, our village will definitely not have a good result!"

"Isn't there a Lieutenant General Karp......? The fisherman muttered unwillingly.

"Karp doesn't even come back once a year, he doesn't even care if there are bandits on the edge of our village!" you count on him?" Upp Slap knocked on his crutches angrily, "Are you going to go? If you don't go, I'll jump down and save people!"

In this kind of weather, even other young people did not dare to enter the water, and letting an old man like Upu Slap jump into the sea to save people was purely to send him to death, and the fisherman naturally could not let him do this, so he had to drive a small fishing boat like a white parachute to the place where he was unwilling.

The bad weather, coupled with the deterrence of the king of the sea, the fisherman and the helper on the boat also did not dare to enter the water, and when they came to the point of falling into the water, they could only grapple with the corner of the parachute, trying to drag the person onto the boat.

Fortunately, several people were quick with their hands and feet, and after a while, they dragged the person under the umbrella out of the sea from the water, and by the light of lightning, they could see clearly that this was a man with a somewhat vicious face, but his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or dead.

When they pulled the man in the sea to the side of the boat, the young man on the boat couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then they realized that the man was covered with all kinds of scars, some of which were even deep in the bones, and the people on the boat felt terrified just by looking at it.

"He's not going to die, is he?" said the young man worriedly.

"Stop talking nonsense, move faster!" the fisherman didn't care so much, and urged repeatedly.

Just as they were about to drag the man in the sea onto the boat, a sudden change occurred, and a black shadow under the bottom of the sea suddenly came out silently and bit the man in the sea.

"King of the Sea!" exclaimed the fisherman and the young fellow, and let go of their hands in unison.

It was a huge fish, its head about the size of a fishing boat, its sharp teeth crisscrossing like blades, digging deep into the waist of the man in its mouth.

The man who had been unconscious woke up from the severe pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the blood-red eyes of the King of the Sea.

A man and a beast, looking at each other, the eyes of the humans, who are regarded as prey by the king of the near sea, have no fear and cowardice, but are full of ferocity and tyranny.

The man roared angrily, and directly smashed one of the eyes of the King of the Near Sea with one claw, he was so fast that the King of the Near Sea could not react at all, one eye was smashed, and half of the man's arm almost fell into the eye socket of the King of the Near Sea.

The man was covered in blood, his face was hideous, and as soon as he pulled out his hand, he pulled out the eyes of the King of the Sea and the extraocular muscles behind him.

The King of the Near Sea howled and threw the man out of his mouth, and the momentary look at him and the injury he had just received made it frightened the humans who had not been taken into its eyes, and with a twist of its body, it ran into the sea again, and fled.

The fisherman and his fellows watched in amazement as the man who fell into the water drove away the famous King of the Sea, and even grasped the King's eyeballs in his hands.

It's just that the two quickly came back to their senses and hurriedly pulled the man onto the boat, and this time there were finally no more accidents.

The man began to vomit blood as soon as he got on board, his breath was faint and his face was pale, and the blood kept running down the wound to the deck, but his hand was holding on to the parachute bag behind him.

The fisherman and the man could not pull it away, so they could only use a knife to cut the rope of the parachute, allowing the man to continue carrying the umbrella bag.

"Wake up, don't you die!" the young man cried out loudly in the man's ear as he drove to the shore, "What's your name?

"I—it's Harden...... ," Harden said with a wide eye, struggling, "to find ...... Morgan and Morgan William came to ...... Quick!"
