Nishang stood beside Qin Fen, tiptoeing to watch, and suddenly whispered:

"Huh? I think I've seen this thing somewhere. ”

"How?" Qin Fen lowered his voice.

"Didn't I tell you?" The female man blinked her eyes and stuck out her tongue, "yes, I really didn't tell you!" After all, it's a terrible thing to be known by a pervert like you. ”

Qin Fen: "......"

Shut up, bastard! Your reputation has been ruined!

Seeing Qin Fen's black face, faintly covered by dark clouds and erupting volcanoes, Ni Shang hurriedly stuck out his tongue and pretended to be cute and stupid:

"Hehe, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, you're not a simple pervert/pervert, but a metamorphosis that controls Lori...... Okay, okay, just kidding, you're just too serious. ”

Compare your uncle! You yourself are a big swaggering woman, don't think that others don't take your reputation seriously like you!

"Well, no one knows you anyway, and your perverted name won't spread."

It's muddy, it's endless!

"Here's the thing, I majored in marine biology in college, and I used to take cruises around during my internship...... Field trips, so have seen something like that before. ”

Neon Dress was talking about an experience she had in the real world, when a cruise ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean and happened to pass through the Bermuda Triangle, a place that is rumored to be very mysterious. Because the captain was also secretly smuggling at the time, he deviated from the course to pick up the cargo halfway and then went west down the Gulf of Mexico.

On this route, where few ships pass, Nishang did not encounter strange things such as lost ships, magnetic field disorders, and deep-sea whirlpools, but only witnessed a spectacle, that is, the "grassland" in the ocean.

The average depth of the sea there is more than 3,000 meters, there are no islands, but the sea here is covered with green rootless aquatic plants - sargassum, which seems to be a grassland scenery. Driven by the sea breeze and ocean currents, the floating sargassum stretches into the distance like a giant olive carpet. The sargassum population here is extremely large, covering millions of square kilometers.

The black algae that the sailor is holding is very similar to the sargassum in the real world. However, the former is several times larger than the latter, and it is estimated that it is a relative plant of sargassum in the pirate world. In a certain season, due to the influence of monsoons, ocean currents and other factors, these seaweeds grow wildly in an instant, blocking the way of the boat.

This kind of thing seems weird and weird, but that's actually it.

(There are many similar examples, such as the cicada that survived in the ground for 17 years, hibernated, and once broke through the ground.) In the Andes Plateau of South America, 4,000 meters above sea level, there is a flower called 'Puja Raimunda'. It takes a hundred years of silent waiting for the flower to bloom, two months at a time, and then the whole flower dies...... ）

At this time, the first mate, who has many years of experience, stepped forward, pinched the seaweed, sniffed it carefully, and even stretched out his tongue to taste it, and then said:

"Don't worry, it's just some unknown seaweed."

Hearing this, everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

Captain Blairy's frowning brow loosened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Then can we bypass it?" ”

"I guess it's a little difficult......," the first mate touched his chin, "Briley, you know, there are more mysterious things in the sea, and the reason why this seaweed grows at this time must be caused by the interaction of multiple factors, so its growth mask is likely to be very huge, please be mentally prepared." ”

“…… Damn it!! The captain slammed his fist on the mast. He mainly sells seasonal fresh fruits, and if he delays one more day, he will lose a lot of money, so he is naturally anxious about it.

The sailors below were equally anxious, after all, the proceeds of the three ships of cargo were directly linked to their salaries, and some even recklessly proposed the idea of pouring rum into the sea and burning all these crazy seaweeds...... Needless to say, the ending was slapped out by Brilly Meghan, who was holding a sulk breath in his chest......

The adventurers quietly gathered together, and Akai pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly:

"The reasonable inference at this time is that the appearance of these seaweeds is very likely to be related to us, after all, they have not encountered similar situations on many previous voyages."

Ivan asked rhetorically: "And then?" ”

"Well, think backwards. Juggernaut doesn't put obstacles here for no reason, there may be two main ones. The first is to delay time and rush to Alabastan one step earlier, and it is uncertain what major events will be encountered. The second possibility is that this is the trigger for a task...... The emergence of seaweed is just the beginning. ”

"So what do we do now?" Someone asked.

"Wait." Akai spat out a word faintly and turned to leave.

"Huh? What does that poker face mean when it says 'wait'? Nishang poked Qin Fen's arm and asked in a low voice.

"Because we are on the sea at the moment, and our feet are just an ordinary merchant ship, and it is difficult to play any tricks with this ship and our ability alone. Therefore, if you want to 'break the game', you must wait for new 'variables' to appear. ”

"Well, that seems to make some sense." Nishang blinked, as if she was curious about the baby, "Then what are the variables you are talking about?" ”

Qin Fen groaned: "I don't know, but the probability of pirates or sea kings appearing is greater......"

It turned out that Qin Fen's inference was correct, and ten minutes later, just as the captain gritted his teeth and ordered a detour, a vigilant sailor suddenly shouted:

"Boss! Come here, there's a big guy coming underwater! ”

"What do you see?" The captain walked over quickly, squinting his eyes and looking down, but unfortunately the light was dim and the sea was still pitch black.

The first mate next to him had already felt out a shoulder-fired rocket launcher at some point, and fired a flare at the water in the distance, and everyone could see that there was a huge shadow in the distance that was rapidly approaching, and the shadow was surrounded by countless fine water bubbles, giving people the feeling that it was like a dark and heavy cloud pressing down on the sky, and this shadow seemed to be changing its shape as if it was gradually dissolving ink.

"What's that?" Someone exclaimed.

At this time, the first mate's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed to recognize this thing with his expression, and immediately said urgently:

"That guy, it's a sea king!"

Sea kings are distributed throughout the ocean world of One Piece, and are very common creatures, with huge sizes, wide variety, changeable appearances, and fierce and abnormal, and they are the creatures that voyagers are most afraid to see in the ocean. To put it simply, eight words are enough to describe:

He is huge in size and has a murderous surname.

As the sea beast approached, the sea surface rose and fell like a wave, and although it was impossible to see its appearance, the ferocity and size of it could already be imagined.

"Huh? What, you really said it. ”

Nishang pursed her lips and passed a series of messages to Qin Fen in a moment:

Neptune: Spear of the Deep

Length: thirty-three meters

Weight: twenty-four tons

Base attributes: 80 points of strength, 60 points of agility, 10,000 points of health.

Passive Ability: Smooth Scale Armor. When swimming in water, it can refract light, making it difficult to capture the enemy's true form, reducing the enemy's hit rate by 10% and the critical hit chance by 10%. and is immune to damage below 20.

Special ability: Tail kill. Unleash a huge wave to attack enemies or ships, and this skill increases the damage of ships by an additional 50%.

Special Ability: Devour. Perform a vicious devouring blow on the target. Deal up to 300 damage to adventurers, with the potential to inflict one-hit kills on other smaller creatures.

Special Ability: ???

Notes: The Aquaman is a short-tempered species, and if you want to provoke it, then you must have the consciousness of being eaten.

"Captain, what should I do?" The first mate asked in a low voice.

The sea king beast did not approach rashly, but just swam not far from the merchant ship. At this time, whether to fight or flee can only be decided by the captain.

You can see, Briley. Megan's forehead has been drenched in dense cold sweat, fighting with the Sea Kings on the sea will undoubtedly block the lives of all the crew members, but if they retreat and take a detour, the time lost is directly linked to the lost money, and it will still make people feel heartache and can't breathe.

Under the silent gaze of the crowd, Braley's face was cloudy, and he paced back and forth on the deck, and in a moment his linen shirt was soaked with sweat.

Finally, he let out a long breath and swept his gaze over the sailors: "We are still ......"

At this moment, a black shadow silently spread along the ground, directly blending into Braley's back. He was shocked, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed in his throat. Then he jerked out the saber at his waist and slashed down in the direction of the Sea Kingmon!

Actions with strong emotional tendencies make his intentions clear...... Crush each other!

Now that the captain has made a decision, the sailors below will naturally not be afraid of the battle, and they have shouted loud horns and started to attack.

Qin Fen could see clearly from the sidelines that Captain Braley had become a puppet at this moment, a puppet controlled by adventurers using shadow ninjutsu. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the muscles of his cheeks are trembling, and his movements are quite strangely stiff...... However, at this time, the sailors who were preparing for the war in a nervous mood did not care about the captain's expression.

And with the first shot, the enraged Sea King Beast attacked, even if the captain wanted to retreat at this time, it was absolutely impossible.

Bang bang bang!

The sailors' spears and cannons opened fire in unison, causing ripples on the surface of the sea, and the curling smoke gathered into strange shapes under the light of the torches and rose into the air.

After a burst of intense bubbles, the deep-sea beast, which had obviously eaten a few shots, finally revealed its true form in an angry roar.
