"Pick the one on the left." David Jones didn't dwell on it at all, and once again made a choice based on intuition.

Naturally, the crew members did not say a word, and maintained their original formation, burrowed into the cave on the left, and continued along the tunnel.

During this time, he encountered several lone jawworms, which were knocked into dead worms one after another by Yarrita's mace.

David Jones and his gang kept looping into the cave, through the tunnel, and into another cave, encountering all kinds of monsters along the way.

In addition to the original jawworms, there are fungal beasts that parasitize dead mice, colorful lice that spit nets, green or gray slimes, and a group of small, energetic goblins.

They need to constantly deal with the harassment of this group of monsters, and they also need to watch out for some traps in the shadows, and from time to time they will suddenly use cold arrows on them.

But the journey was fairly smooth and there were no major obstacles.

Until they came to a new cave.

They saw a tall red goblin gnawing on the flesh of a monster.

With horns at the top of its head, it heard a sound behind it and turned its head, staring at everyone with a pair of yellow eyes fiercely.

The next moment, it tossed aside the flesh in its mouth, stood upright, and roared at the crowd.

A flame-like cloud of gas was visible to the naked eye, making it stronger and stronger.

"Be careful!" Chloe reminded, "It's different from the previous monsters, it's more dangerous. ”

Chloe's instincts were right.

If the previous monster was a small monster, then now this monster is an elite monster, and the strength level is not a level at all.

The goblin picked up a bone stick made of monster bones on the ground, and walked towards the crowd with heavy steps, the ground shaking with each step.

Hachi was the tallest of David Jones's gang, but when the goblin was upright, it was taller than the two Hachi together.

It looked at the crowd condescendingly, then raised its bone-stick and slammed it into Arrita.

Bang!

Arlita wields a mace and collides with the goblin's big bony club!

She thought that she would smash the bone stick with a single blow, but she didn't expect that the bone stick was extremely hard, and the strength of the goblin was so great that it overwhelmed her strange power, and just knocked her out like that.

Arrita rolled around the gravel a few times before she barely stopped, but luckily she had the ability to slip through the fruit, and her skin didn't bruise.

However, when she tried to stand up, her vision swayed, and her whole person seemed to fall into a dizziness.

"What's going on?"

She stuck the mace at her feet, so that she could support her body and not fall.

The goblin man ran towards her with heavy steps.

"Arrita?" Chloe reminded her, and noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Yarrita's state, so she flashed over with a "shaving" and took her away.

Bang!

Before the goblin could see clearly, the bone stick had already smashed towards Arrita's original position, and for a moment the debris flew up.

Luckily, Chloe had brought Yarrita to safety.

"What's wrong with you?" Chloe asked Yarrita, who was beside her, suspiciously, that she didn't look like the kind of person who would be in a daze during a battle.

Arrita raised her left hand, her palm shaking uncontrollably, and it took a long time for her to calm down.

She thanked Chloe and said nothing, as if she hadn't fully woken up from the trance she had just had.

David Jones has seen and heard, and he knows it clearly:

This monster can be similar to the ability of the armed color?

If it hadn't been for Chloe taking Arrita away, and it would have been badly injured.

Theoretically, Arrita's Slippery Fruit ability can help her slip away and remove most of the physical damage, but it's not the same if the attacker is armed, and they can easily break down Arrita's defenses.

The goblin big guy just used the same ability as the weapon color that can break the defense of those with Devil Fruit abilities.

This should be its innate talent, awakened, not learned.

David Jones quickly figured out the key.

If it was a goblin with a similar ability to armed color, he felt that he needed to make a move, and this was not an enemy that Arrita or Chloe could deal with.

However, before David Jones could make a move, he saw Bucky take a few steps forward.

Bucky yelled at the crowd, "Do it together, give me a chance to pit its anus!" ”

The crew had more or less cooperated with each other, and when they heard Bucky's vulgar but understandable words, they all started in unison.

Chloe dodged in front of the goblin with a swift "shaving".

The goblin man was immediately attracted by this slender man in a suit, and he was about to knock it down with a bone stick, which showed that its intelligence was limited.

But Chloe was unusually nimble, not only dodging the bone stick blow with his "shaving", but also moving his pace in front of him at close range as if he were dancing, dodging left and right.

The goblin man was dazzled and raised his bone stick again, but he didn't know where to knock it off for a long time.

As a result, Yarrita and Xiaoba saw the right time to get close.

One hits the goblin hunk in the knee with a mace, and the other squirts ink directly into the goblin hunk's eyes!

This is a righteous siege from pirates!

The goblin screamed with a headache, I don't know if it was because of the knee joint, or because of the eyes.

In short, such a tall monster stumbled a few times and fell to the ground with a bang.

However, after the goblin fell to the ground, he became more irritable.

Its eyes were covered with ink, and it couldn't see clearly, but it was only ferocious, brandishing its bone club and swinging it around.

For a while, Chloe, Yarrita and Hachi, who were on their sides, did not find a suitable opportunity to step forward to make up for the knife.

"Spread out!"

Mikita, who had already floated to the top of the cave with a small umbrella, shouted to the crowd, then jerked her weight to the maximum, aimed at the goblin's big head, and sank.

Bang –

She stepped on the back of the goblin's big head with both feet, and the weight of 10,000 kilograms directly shattered its head, and the slurry splattered, looking like a puddle of mud.

The goblin man finally didn't move, his arm hanging down, and his bone stick flung to the side.

The crew breathed a sigh of relief, it was the most troublesome battle they had fought since entering the Spire, and fortunately they didn't get into trouble in front of Captain David Jones.

The battle ended in the blink of an eye, and almost every crew member was involved in the siege.

On the contrary, Bucky, who said at the beginning that he was going to dig out the big anus of the goblin, looked left and right, and there was no time for the knife to strike, and then it was defeated by everyone's combined efforts.

Bucky couldn't help but stand in place.

And that's the end of it?

This big guy, I can't help but fight.

However, when he looked at his throwing knives, he felt a little lucky, if he really used them to dig out his anus, it would not be easy to recover, even if he washed it, it would be very good.

Of course, from the perspective of "enchantment", after the throwing knife digs through the anus of the goblin big man, it may be able to infect the enemy's wound when dealing with other enemies.

Mikita was flicking the dirt off her shoes when suddenly she noticed something, pointed to the broken head of the goblin's big man, and said, "Look, there's something there." ”

Everyone approached, and sure enough, in the fuzzy puddle of flesh, they saw a green key.

It resembles an arrow of feathered arrows, made of emeralds, and has a curved knife carved into it.

David Jones's tentacles poked their heads out of his robes like pythons.

The tip wriggled and embodied a stream of water, wrapped the green key, turned it over and over several times, and then placed it in his palm to observe.

"This is one of the three keys on the mural, right?" David Jones rubbed his fingers over its smooth surface, "One of them is buried in the head of this red monster, and there should be many minarets who have tried to get it, but they have all failed, even at the cost of their lives." ”

He pocketed the artifact, which was crucial to the minarets.

Its appearance also proves David Jones's previous inference:

The Minarets have been defeated and defeated again and again in a long time, and they have not been able to collect the three keys to open the door to the top floor.
