Chapter 245: Surprised Reilly
Chapter 245: Surprised Reilly
Giant Ape Island!
Night!
It was a windless zone, silent, and no beast dared to make a noticeable chirp at night.
The day is the hunting time for the beasts at the top of the power, while the night is for the animals that are medium in strength but are no less dangerous.
Poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions have been dispatched, looking for their prey.
On the giant tree, a thick poisonous snake stared coldly at a sleeping sloth in front of it.
This is its prey today.
The snake hadn't eaten for a month, and now it was hungry, and if it couldn't catch its prey today, the chances of catching it later would get lower and lower until it entered the countdown to death.
Venom is the magic weapon that this snake relies on to survive, hide its body, sneak into the prey, and then suddenly blow the venom in the venom gland through the fangs into the prey's body, which is the trick that the venomous snake is best at.
After that, all the venomous snake needs to do is wait, slowly waiting for the death of its prey.
This is the moment it enjoys the most, watching its prey die of its own venom as it exhausts itself.
When the prey dies, the viper comes to the prey, swallows it in one gulp, and then enters a long digestion period.
Generally speaking, it takes about half a month for a prey to digest, and this poisonous snake has not eaten for a month, indicating that the hunting during the previous period was not very smooth.
With the activity of predation, the physical strength of the poisonous snake also slowly decreases, if you can't catch this sloth, then not only will the poisonous snake be hungry today, but it is very likely that tomorrow it will also be nothing.
Using the snake's body to wrap around the tree, it slowly approached the sleeping sloth, and the prey seemed to be close to its mouth.
However, just as the poisonous snake was about to make a move, a childish child's voice came from the side.
"Ace, there seems to be a person on the sea!"
Luffy's voice woke the sloth up, turned his head, and the sloth suddenly noticed the poisonous snake behind him, and the sloth, which was originally slow, stretched out the sharp claws on both hands with lightning speed, and grabbed the poisonous snake fiercely with one claw.
The poisonous snake was caught by the sloth's lightning-like movements, like three thick daggers, and cut three blood marks on the poisonous snake's body.
Hiss~~
The snake hissed and frightened the sloth, but the sloth just stretched out its paws and hugged the tree to look at the snake.
The poisonous snake, which had already seen the real movements of the sloth, did not dare to make a mistake, and slowly retreated under the pressure of the sloth's gaze.
Hiss!
The viper suddenly remembered the sound next to him that disturbed his hunting, and following the sound, the viper swam in that direction.
Two small figures appeared in its field of vision.
The venomous snake is ten meters long and about half a meter thick, and the two dwarf prey in front of it can't feed it, so it can only slightly stuff between its teeth.
However, the poisonous snake, which has been hungry for more than half a month, can't take care of so much, and some can eat it.
...
"Ace, that's really a person!"
Hearing Luffy's voice, Ace came out of the cave where he was hiding and followed Luffy to the beach.
The two came to the beach and saw a man lying on a plank floating on the sea.
"That's a man on a plank!" Luffy shouted.
Without thinking too much, Luffy ran directly to the sea, wanting to save this person, but Luffy forgot his identity as a Devil Fruit Ability, and as soon as he stepped into the sea, the whole person suddenly became paralyzed and fell into the sea.
"This idiot!" Ace snorted softly and reluctantly came to Luffy's side and dragged Luffy ashore.
Looking at Luffy, who had fallen into a coma, Ace sighed, looked at the person floating on the sea, thought for a while, and decided to save him ashore.
A puff jumped into the sea, Ace came to this man's side, only to see this man's face clearly, gray hair, even the beard is gray, the face is already a little wrinkled, the clothes on his body are also tattered, and the only valuable thing on his body seems to be the huge wine jug pinned to his waist.
"It's an old guy, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Ace thought about it for a while, but decided to rescue the man ashore.
Grabbing the man's clothes and planks, Ace swam toward the shore.
When he came to the beach, Ace grabbed the man's clothes and tried to drag the man ashore.
"It's so heavy!"
Ace pulled, and suddenly felt a little strange, this person's body turned out to be a few points heavier than ordinary people, this person also looks like an ordinary figure, I didn't expect it to be so heavy.
Pull the old man ashore and lie down with the unconscious Luffy.
Ace had the opportunity to investigate the old man's vital signs.
"Pulse, breathing is fine, I should be waking up soon!" Ace probed the old man's vital signs and said.
"Luffy, Luffy!" Ace came to Luffy's side and shouted softly.
"Ai, Ace!" Luffy woke up faintly.
"Ace, who is this?" Luffy looked at the old man lying next to him, tilting his head and looking confused.
Ace covers his face!
"Isn't this the one you're trying to save?"
"Shw! It turned out to be an old man! ”
"Uh~~~!"
There was a groan from the side, and the old man's hands waved unconsciously.
"Grandpa is awake!" Luffy laughed heartlessly.
Ace looked at it with a serious face, holding a sharp wooden stick in his hand, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.
Wandering in the sea was either a navy or a pirate, and although this man was an old man, he was obviously dressed more like a pirate.
Ace will not give any trust to any pirate, and the only person who can be trusted on this island is his stupid brother Luffy.
Slowly opening his eyes, Reilly glanced around in a daze, pretending to know nothing, but in fact, he had already swept the surrounding environment, and even the poisonous snake in the tree that was ready to sneak attack at any time did not escape Reilly's perception.
Squinting and smiling, Reilly said, "Did you save me?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Luffy nodded.
"Grandpa, are you a pirate?" Luffy asked casually.
"Huh!" Reilly smiled.
Ace, on the other hand, clenched the wooden stick in his hand, "This idiot! ”
Ace didn't expect Luffy to ask if this person was a pirate so suddenly and directly, although pirates were named as pursuing freedom and ideals, but Ace knew that real pirates kill people without blinking.
Reilly squinted and smiled:
"It used to be!"
"Ever?" Luffy touched his head, not understanding.
In Luffy's world, shouldn't being a pirate mean you should be a pirate for the rest of your life?
Ace also relaxed a little, and from Reilly's words, Ace did not hear any hostility.
However, at this moment, the poisonous snake that climbed the tree looked at the three people below, and launched a sneak attack, and a mouthful of fangs slammed into Luffy, the weakest of the three, until the fangs were close to Ace and found out, and he couldn't rush to rescue him.
For a moment, Ace's brain went blank, thinking of Sabo who was missing, and then remembering the bits and pieces with Luffy.
A burst of momentum suddenly poured out of Ace's body, rushing straight towards the surroundings, and the poisonous snake bore the brunt of it, stunned by the volley.
Reilly's outstretched hand withdrew without a trace.
"Overlord color domineering!"
Reilly suddenly remembered the ambiguous words Lin said.
"You won't be surprised when you know who he is!"
"This kid? Whose son is it? ”
