Minutes and seconds passed.

As dusk falls, darkness engulfs everything.

This is the main tone of the deep sea!

The original ancient ruins looked magnificent in the setting sun, but at this time they looked a little eerie.

An empty complex of dilapidated buildings.

According to Moria, there appear to be a lot of "ancient corpses" buried underground.

What's really going on here?

With doubts, everyone took out the illuminated corals prepared in advance and used them as flashlights to try to explore further.

After a while, a mutation suddenly appeared-

Uta's singing fruit power was out of control, and a huge murmur pierced everyone's eardrums.

“？！”

"Yes, something similar to Totemjika!"

"The Great Demon King...... It's the one recorded inside Noah, the Great Demon King who led to the destruction of the ancient city! ”

“……”

Uta was obviously affected, and even the word order was a little confused.

Thankfully, she quickly recovered.

The murmur did not reappear, and Uta gasped and muttered:

"There's something else in this ruin."

“……”

This is not a "warning".

In fact, even Uta himself can't tell which side has the louder "voice" compared to the unknown Great Demon King.

So she just recounted her judgment.

Hearing this, both Margao and Katakuri paused.

Obviously, the daughter of [redhead] is not simple, and seems to be able to feel a lot of "extra" things.

The two couldn't help but be curious.

The group of people gathered by the Demons, whether it is Nicole Robin or Uta, seems to be inextricably linked to "antiquity".

What does he want to do?

Exploring the "Historical Text" and the "Blank One Hundred Years"?

O'Hara, the island of archaeology, has done just that, only to disappear from the fire of the Demon Slayer Order.

However, if you add the force and madness of the [Demon], can you really wrestle with the World Government?

It's really caring......

Whether it's Margao or Katakuri, they are all thinking about their respective pirate groups.

What kind of existence is the [Demon] gang for [Whitebeard] or [Big Mom]?

Hostile? Possible allies? Or is it a competitor?

“……”

While thinking about it, Klockdahl, who was not far away, suddenly spoke.

"Hey!"

His voice attracted the attention of everyone present.

Following Klockdahl's hope, the crowd saw blood on the ground.

The crowd slowly approached.

The domineering color of what they saw and heard spread out, perceiving everything around them.

And Margao, as the ship doctor of [Whitebeard], can naturally know more.

"It's 'fresh', and there's traces of dragging."

Following the veins of the bloodstains, everyone's eyes glanced into the distance.

The light that illuminates the coral cannot penetrate deeply, so only darkness can be seen in the distance.

Corpses, Great Demons, Bloodstains, Darkness, Ruins......

A lot of things come together.

For a while, the already dim and panicked ancient ruins added a bit of gloomy horror.

……

"Wow!"

Feeling this atmosphere, Perona finally felt a little happier.

As a "Princess Mononoke" who has eaten the Spirit Fruit, she likes this kind of place the most.

If she were asked where she would most like to travel, Perona's answer would have been: a gloomy and damp castle, preferably with ghosts.

But on the other hand, Uta doesn't like it very much.

"It's too dark!"

Humming the tune softly, several colorful notes popped up, diluting the eerie feeling.

Perona was super upset about this.

Uta had already tossed her before, and now again?!

"Hey, you guy!"

Perona stepped forward and grabbed Uta's face and emphasized: "Do you understand the beauty of this environment, don't come to spoil the scenery!" ”

"Really?"

Uta was pinched on both cheeks and grinned, "But I don't like it!" ”

"I don't care if you like it or not!"

Perona grew angry, kneading Uta's face back and forth.

Feel good?

Wrong!

Perona wondered, what to do with Uta?

The negative ghost doesn't seem to be of any use to her, so ......

Perona found a breakthrough and suddenly asked, "Hey, how old are you?" ”

“……”

Uta replied truthfully.

Perona was delighted when she heard this, pointed her finger at Uta's nose, and said with a strange smile:

"Huo Luo Huo Huo, I'm four years older than Ling, I'm older, so you have to listen to me!"

"Really?"

Uta opened her mouth and spat out an eighth note of the "sledgehammer" level, carrying it on her shoulder.

Tilting his head, he grinned and repeated, "However, I don't like it either!" ”

Perona: "......"

Look at the note sledgehammer, and then look at the smiling Uta.

"Of course—"

Perona broke out in a cold sweat and gasped as she rubbed Uta's face.

"Of course, I have to take care of my younger sister, so let's follow the style you like~!"

Rumble!

Uta then lowered the eighth note and smashed a few cracks into the ground.

Seeing this scene, Perona had more cold sweat on her forehead.

Uta didn't care.

She could hear Perona's melody, and although it was a little willful and eccentric, it was not difficult to get along with, and she was also a very good person.

At the same time, Perona wanted to return to Moria.

But when she looked around, she found that it was already empty.

"Huh?!"

Perona was suddenly startled and said in horror: "What about them! Where did it go? ”

She loves eerie places, but that doesn't mean being in danger.

Uta was very calm, and replied with a smile:

"They're going to split up to find clues, let's go together!"

"Hmmm......"

Perona looked at the colorful notes around her and was about to refuse, but she saw the note sledgehammer in Uta's hand again.

Immediately stood upright, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!" ”

……

At the same time as Uta and Perona communicated cordially.

Klockdahl and Robin, Margao and Katakuri, Lindsay and Moria, the three teams worked in pairs and began to split up.

Needless to say, the first group is also an old pair;

The second group is to spy on each other and not want to be taken advantage of by the other;

As for Moria in the third group, she was "unlucky" and was forced to act with the [Demon].

……

Which group will be the first to discover the "clues"?

It's the third group.

Lindsay Semi-Forcefully pulled Moria and followed the "clues" perceived by the domineering perception of ancient sights and hearings, all the way deeper.

Eventually, after opening a closed stone door, more than a dozen seriously injured Dragon Palace City guards were found.

Most of them passed out, and only a few were still conscious.

Lin ...... Mr. Lindsay? ”

After seeing Lindsay's face, the sober few people struggled and used all their strength to warn.

"Be careful, it's a trap!"

……

The first group, Crocodahl and Nico Robin.

The real purpose of the two is not to search for the source of the bloodstains, but to find the "ancient words" and the "truth" of the ancient ruins themselves.

Under Robin's guidance, she and Klockdahl gradually deepened.

"According to Uta, this ruin also contains a 'Totemjika-like Great Demon King'."

"It is also an ancient creation, although it is not as exaggerated as an ancient weapon, but it is enough to destroy an island."

Robin analyzed:

"That's probably the purpose of the Hundred Beast Pirates."

"But how did they find the clues that they didn't even know about Fish-Man Island?"

"Who leaked the news?"

A lot of questions came to mind.

In this regard, Klockdahl was also in deep thought.

"Maybe ......"

He came up with an interesting conjecture, "Is it the world government?" The world government wanted to stop the primitives, so they released the news and made the Four Emperors the 'resistance' of the primitives. ”

"Quite possibly!"

Robin nodded slightly.

Although Klockdahl's ambitions are well known, after getting along for so long, the two can be regarded as some kind of "companions".

After all, with Mr. Lindsay here, of course you can relax!

Robin thought of something interesting, and turned back to Klockdahl excitedly:

"Is it possible that-

The words are not finished.

In Robin's sight, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared, right behind Klockdahl!

The dark shadow wielded a massive full moon machete and locked onto Klockdahl's head.

It's a sneak attack!

Robin's face changed, and Klockdahl realized something.

Is it a sneak attack?

Klockdahl didn't have time to turn around, and at the same time, he remembered the scene when he was sneak attacked in the capital of the seven waters.

He raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Isn't it, still coming?" ”

Swish!

The huge black shadow swung the sword, but the blade finally missed.

On the other side, Klockdahl jumped up and turned into a sandstorm and swept through the air!

"Hehehehehe......"

He turned, his gaze locked on the huge strong man diagonally downward, and saw the four giant ivory ornaments of the other party.

Lighting a cigar, he sneered gloomily: "It's a pity, I can't come this time!" ”
