Chapter 166: The Wind Rises
Gurado, originally not such a strange name.
Of course, his original name doesn't matter, at least not in this story. So for the sake of convenience, we still use "Gulado" to refer to this man.
Gurardo was born on a remote and isolated island in the South China Sea, and its inhabitants call this huge, rarely visited island 'Hoenjima'.
Hoenn Island is covered in a dense primeval jungle that is home to a large number of ancient species from ancient times. And deep in the jungle, hides an ancient tribe with a long history. Thanks to the abundant resources of the primeval forests and the powerful hunters of the tribe, the tribe has a good life.
Every 10 years, this ancient tribe holds a grand summer night festival in the month of August of the second month of the year, to honor the ancestors who have turned into stars and the gods who shelter the tribe. At the end of the festival, the patriarchs and elders will jointly select the strongest warriors of the clan to receive the [God's Selection].
As the name suggests, the selection of gods is a sacred ritual for the gods of the sheltering tribe to choose their dependents, and every ten years, a tribal warrior will be tested to receive the reward of the gods.
Gurador is the strongest warrior of the tribe today.
He has great power, but he is dedicated to goodness. People always joke that Gulardo doesn't have a strong heart, he is too gentle. But Gulardo himself didn't care, and he never killed at will, except for the necessary hunting. At the end of the hunt, he would silently offer a thanksgiving to his prey.
At the age of eighteen, he was known as the most powerful warrior of his tribe and the fastest to master the 'Armor of the Dead'. Since that year, no one in the clan has dared to challenge him. The people revered him, loved him, and saw him as the heir to the next patriarch.
At the age of twenty-six, Gulardo won the opportunity to meet God.
In the middle of the island there is an abrupt mountain called 'Protrusion Rock'. There is a cave at the bottom of the rock wall, which is sealed all year round, and only the strongest warrior of the tribe is selected during the summer night festival once every ten years, and that person is allowed to break the seal and step into the cave with his own hands.
That night, with the joy of all the tribesmen and the gaze of the great full moon, Gulado stepped into the cave and marched up the spiral staircase to the top of the cave.
Eventually, at the end of the 'Hall of Birth' at the top of the cave, Gulado saw the true face of the so-called God.
A square box with a black jade color and a tight seam is enshrined on a high platform. As Gurado approached, strange spirals began to spread on the surface of the box.
There is a 'gravitational pull' between all things. The [gods] who have been silent on Hoenn Island for hundreds of years have finally waited for a suitable container.
It was night, and Hoenn Island disappeared.
A few weeks later, a rookie pirate appeared in the South China Sea, calling himself Gurado.
And the tribe that disappeared with Hoenn Island has a name that has long been forgotten by the world - [Behemoth].
……………………
"Huh...... I thought that no one in the world would know this name anymore. ”
In the back hills of the Isle of York, in the middle of a clearing surrounded by raging fire, Victor is confronting Gurado. The latter slowly grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp and interlaced fangs: "Hasn't the world government erased all historical records from eight hundred years ago?" ”
Victor shrugged his shoulders: "There are always places where the dusty past is recorded. ”
"Well said...... I'm going to correct that, though. ”
Golden lines began to emerge on the surface of the orc-like Gurado's body, and his voice became more and more hoarse and low: "It's not the [Mythical Species], but the [Divine Species]. The two names are written similarly in that text, and your translation is a bit wrong. ”
Deity Seed...... Victor frowned, there was not much difference between the two, but the meaning was very different.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's a reward for you to fight me for so long." Gulado seems to have finally found someone to talk to, and he is talking about sex:
"Now that you know the legend of Behemoth and the Three Pillars, you must know about Siz as well, right? In ancient times, the superhuman, animal, and natural departments all had the top branches of their own departments. Among them, if the animal level is divided by level, they are [Ancient Species], [Giant Beast Species], [Phantom Beast Species], and [Divine Species]. ”
"The ancient species is the first and lowest animal line of the upper fruit, but it is not very different from the ordinary animal line; The Behemoth has a 'giant body' and 'great power', even a weak mortal can instantly transform into a huge and terrifying warrior after eating the Behemoth, and from the Phantom Beast Species, it can possess all kinds of strange abilities, such as self-healing flames, absorbing the blood of others to restore youth, and changing into other people's appearances at will. ”
"As the top-level animal-based devil fruit, the power possessed by the god species is so powerful that it looks like a god in the eyes of the ancients, so it is called the [god species]. At this level, they can already control terrible natural forces or all kinds of incomprehensible strange abilities. ”
"The world is so ridiculous." The golden lines on the surface of Gulado's body became brighter and brighter, and the spikes on his back also emitted a flickering red light: "Devil Fruit is the biggest 'unfairness' in this world!" What's the use of cultivating for a long time and working hard? A weak mortal could easily pinch to death a hundred warriors who had been cultivating for many years as long as he ate a top-grade Devil Fruit. It's so boring, the world is really boring! ”
Victor sneered: "If you are bored, go and learn Kaido to commit suicide, no one will stop you." I thought you were going to say something shocking and tirade, but it turned out to be a frog at the bottom of a well. ”
"Huh...... Seeing that your strength is not bad, I planned to spare your life and take you as a subordinate. Gulardo sighed softly, and a sparkle of fire appeared on his lips: "Looks like I'm overestimating you, Mafia Victor." ”
Victor smiled and stopped talking, just took an attacking stance. This 'Gulado' is full of mysteries, and even the 'Apocalypse' only vaguely shows a sentence [Animal Phantom Beast Species Devil Fruit Ability, Ability Unknown], this is the first time that Apocalypse has encountered a target that cannot be accurately identified.
No matter what secrets the other party has, let's beat it up first! Both Gurador and Victor are ready to beat each other half to death first, and then slowly extract the secrets on their bodies.
The two were just about to start an attack, when suddenly they looked up at the distant shore at the same time.
The wind is blowing.
