Chapter 17: Between Life and Death

On Dragon's Nest Island, on the stone steps under the sea where the workshop is connected, the high priest Orlean Chengzhu is open to the three people in front of him, and he is not in a hurry to make a move.

Once a pirate captain, he was accustomed to the daily routine of conspiracy and struggle long before he accidentally entered Dragon's Lair Island and established the Aeolus Cult. At this time, Orleans, who had succeeded in the conspiracy, had to slowly enjoy the fruits of victory.

… Today, his ambition has finally been realized, and it all dates back to 30 years ago.

As a native of the open sea, Orleans is well aware that the pioneer (Charles) in the mouth of the crowd really crossed the barrier of the wind wall twice and traveled back and forth between the open sea and the dragon's lair. But the problem is that during the treasure hunt thirty years ago, Charles didn't tell everyone the right way at all, so he disappeared quietly.

The ambitious Orleans was unwilling to return in vain, and led the fleet into the storm circle, with the result that most of the crew perished at the bottom of the sea.

But it is unbelievable that as a person who is afraid of the sea, Orleans himself actually drifted to the Dragon's Nest Island alive, and even his subsequent experience can be described as a negative pole.

The isolated islanders had no idea about Devil Fruits, and soon gained his first fans after demonstrating his special abilities.

Based on this, the Aeolus Cult was soon established by him, and the once vicious and brutal pirate leader was transformed into a holy and noble religious leader, and I have to say that such a gorgeous turn is indeed amazing...

And the story doesn't end there.

Orleans, who has gained a large number of followers, is not satisfied with the status of a purely religious sacrifice, and he is insatiable and wants to become the emperor of the land who holds the power of life and death on the island of Dragon's Nest.

For this reason, in addition to using the "miracle" to cultivate a group of fanatics to expand his power, he also has two problems that he has to face.

The first is the elder Changye Gong, who is already very prestigious on the island.

Because he had spent some time with Charles, he had more insight into the sea and some common sense than the other fools on the island, so it was not so easy to fool him with religious miracles.

The second is the mysterious passage.

Although there is a dragon's nest storm between Dragon's Nest Island and the open sea, Charles's presence reminds Orleans all the time that the terrifying dragon's nest is not seamless, and there is indeed a way to connect with each other between the dragon's nest and the open sea.

As a pirate, Orleans knew very well that once Dragon's Nest was no longer an isolated paradise, his lies would soon be exposed, and the purpose of ruling the island would naturally be lost.

Therefore, Orleans not only wants to find a suitable excuse to get rid of Changye Gong, but more importantly, to completely sever the connection between Dragon's Nest Island and the outside world!

It just so happened that Wright's unexpected drift to the island gave him the opportunity to play on the topic

The high priest of the Fengshen Sect took advantage of the once-in-a-century tide of the Wind and Breath to arrange the trick step by step, inducing Changye Gong himself to expose the method of the pioneer (Charles) leaving the island, and he himself was behind Huang Que to solve his two major troubles in one fell swoop.

Orleans: "Hehe, it's ironic, you old guy shouts all day long that the pioneers of thirty years ago really found a way to break through the dragon's den, but in fact you keep your own secret, hesitate and confuse for half your life, hahaha, you are really stupid!" ”

The high priest wantonly laughed at the old man in front of him, but as the one who was mocked, Changye Gong did not mean to refute angrily, he turned his face and pushed Wright and Ioros towards the submarine, without responding to Orleans at all.

Changye Gong: "You guys go quickly!" Be sure to get out of this island! ”

"Aren't you together?" Wright was stunned for a moment, but still asked subconsciously.

"I can't go... I belong to the Dragon's Lair. ”

The old man gritted his teeth, and there were tears in his contemplative eyes.

The ancients often said that Ye Gong was a good dragon, and although the situation of Chang Ye Gong was different, he still came to a similar juncture.

"Heh, since you don't want to go, then don't leave anyone!"

The three people on the side of the boat were still to be pulled, but Orleans, who was watching from the sidelines, did not allow himself to be planted in the last step of the plan.

I saw that he was wearing a white sacrificial robe, his hands were outstretched, and a pair of pure white wings suddenly gathered behind him... That's not all, Orleans, who was doing it with all his might, completely activated his fruit ability, and his body also expanded several times, turning into a giant with a length of ten meters in the blink of an eye!

In this small cavern, his body was almost touching the top of the rock wall, and he just stretched out his hand to block directly between the three of them and the submarine.

As a result, Wright and the others suddenly fell into a predicament... But at the same time, Wright finally got a peek at the secret of Orleans' fruit abilities.

The giant hand standing in front of them, though indeed part of Orleans' limbs, was made entirely of cotton wool on closer inspection.

This is not difficult to explain why before at the altar, Orleans was able to ride the wind, and his body was completely unafraid of swords, he was simply a cotton wool man composed of cotton wool.

But... That's not good news!

"It's over... Is it actually the Department of Nature? ”

Wright's brows jumped, and his heart suddenly felt half cold...

His cultivation in the field of armed color domineering has no entry at all, and he can't deal with those with natural fruit abilities who can be immune to most physical attacks.

Looking at Aioros and Changye Gong again, Wright doesn't think these two teammates will have any hidden strength in this regard.

So... Is the only way to deal with it now is seawater?

But what exactly is it necessary to lure Orleans into the sea?

In the blink of an eye, several plans flashed in the navigator's heart, but before he made up his mind, Changye Gong, who had never shown his means, took out two strange props shaped like short guns from his sleeves.

The thing was snow-white all over, with only a special ore embedded in the tip as a drive.

Facing the huge palm blocking in front of them, Changye Gong shot intently, and one of the short guns suddenly emitted a powerful shock wave, which exploded into pieces with a bang, directly blasting the palm composed of cotton wool into pieces!

"Let's go!"

The road had already been opened, and Changye Gong let out a shout and pushed Wright forward, but none of the three of them noticed that Orleans, who had been partially blown apart, condensed another slightly slender arm behind them... And in that newborn arm, there was also a spear-shaped scepter!
