Chapter 23: The Storm

Three figures reappeared at the bottom of the sea, and the huge pressure on the bottom of the sea hit in an instant.

However, Xing had already prepared, and a new enchantment covered Shi Lei's body.

The pain before hit again, he didn't have the slightest preparation, the whole person was slapped on the ground again, and the muscles in his body began to twitch and writhe involuntarily.

"This enchantment is much weaker than the previous one, and you need to get used to it again. As soon as the words fell, Xing walked forward, not even looking at Shi Lei, who was struggling to stand up on the ground.

For this kind of masochistic cultivation, the old turtle was not surprised, pacing slowly and following behind.

After putting in more effort and will than before, Shi Lei once again adapted to this pressure and pain, stood up tremblingly, and tried not to slow down his pace.

At the same time, in the southernmost part of the South China Sea, there was a pirate ship floating alone, and everyone on board was in a panic.

Sun Monkey, Wang Ping, and a few other masters who entered the spirit stood on the bow of the boat with anxious faces looking at the rolling dark clouds in the distance, feeling the breeze that slowly began to blow up at some point.

"Boss Wang. Sun Monkey spoke, Wang Ping was still the person with the highest spiritual yuan power among these people, and they were still called the same as before.

"When do we have to wait, Lord One Piece and Boss Shi have been out for almost a month, and now they are nowhere to be seen, look at this weather, there will be a big storm." “

Wang Ping was silent for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhao Feng, another fifth-layer master of the Consciousness Body Realm next to him who was second only to him and Sun Monkey, who was known as a madman.

"What do you think, madman?"

Zhao Feng is not good-looking, but he is quite tall, with a fierce face, and a long scar on his forehead.

"Boss Wang, although Lord One Piece said that he didn't get along with us for a long time, he finally spared our lives. And it didn't bother us much. Besides, you can see how powerful One Piece is, so there will be no surprises. “

The madman fights the most desperately, but the words are full of righteousness.

Sun Monkey looked at the few people who could stand here behind him, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

"Crazy, I'm not saying that I don't have respect for Lord One Piece, but let's hurry back and avoid it. You've also seen that not many brothers can stand up, and if you look at the weather, you may not know how big a storm it will be, and how can we resist these people. “

The madman didn't know how to refute, so he closed his mouth and didn't speak, looking at the former boss in front of him, waiting for his decision.

Wang Ping gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and slowly spit out the word "wait".

At this moment, Shi Lei, who had been away from the God Killing Realm for three days, finally relied on unimaginable efforts to keep up with the pace of the star and the old turtle again, but his chest that was still rising and falling violently showed how much pressure he was under.

At this moment, Xing suddenly stopped, his face was a little gloomy, and he looked at the old turtle beside him.

"Old man, do you feel it?"

The old turtle nodded with a serious expression, and the worry in his eyes could not be hidden.

"The storm is starting to start, and we can already feel the undercurrent surging at such a deep seabed. “

Shi Lei also felt this different atmosphere, and when he heard the worry in their words, he asked, "Senior Star, how long will it take for us to get back on the ship." “

"At this rate, we will have at least five days, and if we return to the sea as soon as possible, we will be able to reach it in two days, but the sea is estimated to be dangerous with the strength we have now. Xingxin replied with a scheming heart.

The old turtle nodded approvingly.

Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and made a decision with a firm look in his eyes,

"Shi Lei, you don't need to cultivate, let's go back to the sea right away and go back at full speed. “

After speaking, he took the lead and kicked the ground violently to splash a large cloud of sand and dust on the seabed, and quickly floated towards the sea.

Immediately after that, the old turtle used his hands and feet together, and the spirit yuan force followed at full speed, and Shi Lei also gave up his physical cultivation, controlled his body with all his strength, and floated up like an arrow.

After only a few moments, three figures emerged from the sea one after another.

At this time, the sky was completely black, and the light could barely penetrate the clouds. The heavy dark clouds weighed down the people and gasped.

At this time when the fierce storm was blowing, Shi Lei couldn't stand on the turtle shell, so he could only lie on it. The ultimate operating spiritual power could not resist the wind power around the body.

Although the star has become weaker and weaker, it is still as steady as Mount Tai, and it does not move.

"Old man, now I can't help you anything, you'd better rush back desperately this way, don't care about what consumption is not consumed, otherwise the three of us will be planted in this storm." There was a hint of menace in Xing's thick words.

The old turtle knew the consequences better than anyone else, and he swam his limbs with all his strength and the spiritual power consumed with all his might, forming an afterimage that flashed on the surface of the sea, and a long watermark remained behind him.

Heaven, earth and sea are lonely, and in this loneliness, you can faintly see a ship that is constantly shaking, and in this rare storm, it is about to be torn apart at any time.

At this time, even the madman couldn't sit still, his red eyes trembled, "Boss, let's hurry back, there are already several brothers who have not had time to dodge and have been swept away by the storm on the deck." If we don't leave, when the ship shatters, all of us will die without a place to bury. “

At this time, the only people who could stand on the deck to control the ship and keep it from being blown away by the wind were him, Wang Ping, and Sun Monkey. The others had hidden deep in the cabin, sheltering from the storm while praying silently.

In order to control the ship and not be affected by the storm, Wang Ping used all his strength, and the whole person struggled to support it, of course, plus the two people next to him.

"Crazy man, monkey, haven't you always dreamed of going to the distant continent to see and explore? If we get through this crisis, I believe that as long as we open our mouths, the One Piece Boss will take us with us. And all the brothers on the ship have already died countless times, even if they don't survive the crisis this time, wouldn't it be better to be buried on the sea with these brothers who have been floating all their lives, and even if they return immediately."

The words paused, and at the same time looked at the sea surface of the return journey, and the wind and waves were also fierce, and he spit out three words bitterly: "It's too late." “

After speaking, it was like a demon, looking up to the sky and roaring. That kind of words and that look shocked the two people around him for a while, revealing a trace of fear.

They survive and wander on the sea, of course, they often dream of going to the Lingyuan Continent that others have mentioned countless times, the countless adventure stories, and countless heroes.

But until this moment, Sun Monkey and the madman knew that their former boss was the one who was the most persistent in this dream. He even did not hesitate to put his own life and the lives of everyone on board for this.

It's not just attachment anymore, it's just madness.

No matter how persistent and crazy it is, the heavens are still ruthless, the storm is still intensifying, the pirate ship is already miserable, there are ruins everywhere, only the hull is also in tatters, but it is still stubbornly persistent.

The three men on deck had long since lost control of the ship, and let it drift in the wind, and they had no choice but to dodge. And then wait for the ship to be slowly torn apart. The smell of despair permeates everyone's heart.

At this time, not far away, the small figure of the old turtle continued to rise and fall in the wind and waves.

Shi Lei couldn't support it for a long time, and the rope taken out by Xing was firmly tied to the turtle shell, and he was weak enough to let the waves continue to beat on his body.

And because the old turtle was born in the sea and was the strength of the seventh layer of the mind and body realm, he had persevered until now, but from the endless malaise in his eyes, he could feel that he had run out of oil.

Xing closed his eyes and barely sat on it, using his greatest mental touch to cover the surroundings as much as possible, looking for the ship that was no longer in place. Trembling all over, gritting his teeth and enduring the storm and waves.

"They're not dodging the storm, they're already on their way back. The old turtle's weak words came.

Xing smiled bitterly, but no one could hear it in the wind.

"I don't know, maybe. The materials used to build the pirate ship are still relatively strong, and you may be able to survive by hiding on it, but if you can't find it, you can only resign yourself to fate, and this time it's a big game. “

Maybe it's fate or maybe it's God's guidance, when Xing is ready to use his last strength to sink Shi Lei to the bottom of the sea to escape the storm. In his perception, he really saw the ship not far away, swaying in the storm of waves.

With some excitement, he slapped the shell of the old turtle hard.

"Old man, the pirate ship is in the northeast direction, use all your strength, hurry up. Despite the suppressed tone, there was still a hint of excitement to hear.

The old turtle didn't say a word, but exerted its last strength, heading towards the northeast, constantly crossing the waves, and approaching quickly.

Shi Lei, who was tied to the turtle shell, reluctantly opened his eyes and grinned at the dark clouds in the sky, revealing two rows of white teeth.

When the two men and a turtle came to the deck of the pirate ship again, as far as the eye could see, there were no more mast sails on the deck, and there were no raised cabins.

It was dilapidated, but the hull was strong enough to hold on for the time being, but the bigger waves crashed against the deck, pouring the water down the cabin from above.

The old turtle held Shi Lei and Xing, and when his strength was just exhausted, he plunged into the hollow cabin in the middle of the deck.

At this time, all the pirates in the cabin were already half immersed in the sea, and suddenly there was a loud thud, which overwhelmed the sound of the waves, making everyone in the water turn their heads to look.

"One Piece-sama", everyone danced excitedly and shouted.

Wang Ping, Sun Monkey, and the madman suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and in their hearts, the power of One Piece was simply a heroic story heard in legends, and it should be no longer a problem to fight against the storm and save them.
