One Piece – Thundergod Marine

Chapter 77: Underground factory

Views:

After finally catching his breath, Ron stood up and looked around at the steel factory that clearly did not fall into the definition of a "desert island".

"Where is this?"

Everything in front of him told Ron that this was a man-made structure.

The surrounding walls are made of steel, and a row of pools like drainage towers are lined up along the walls. It was soaked with foul-smelling corpses, and a leaky net was connected underneath. Drops of corrosive liquid seeped out of the leaky net, flowed downwards along the grooves, and merged into the highly toxic molten pool that he had just fallen into. In the center of the factory is a pool filled with highly toxic liquid. It is hundreds of meters long and wide, and is buried deep underground. It is unknown how deep it is. Several thick transparent glass tubes protruded from the side of the molten pool. With the help of steel components, they turned in mid-air and inserted into the ground. It was unknown where they would eventually lead.

If there wasn't a highly toxic solution in the molten pool, just by looking at the appearance, Ron would have thought it was a water plant!

"Where will so much venom be transported? Could it be that... the Navy is conducting biological and chemical weapons experiments?!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Ron's eyes, and he realized that he seemed to have found the core secret of Hell Island.

You can't blame me for this. It's because you didn't take good security measures. A snake could break in!

However, he did not want to think about it. In order to kill him with one blow, the giant snake used a rocket head hammer to open a canyon in the basin, kicking up tons of sand! Then, in his near-death madness, he hit his head on the ground again and again. Without ulterior motives, no one or beast would be able to dig into the steel shell deep in the soil, let alone break into it.

squeak... squeak...

At this moment, the sound of air leakage attracted Ron's attention.

He lowered his head and saw that a skeletal snake head with a crack on its upper lip was stuck in the middle of the glass pipe. The surrounding venom pushed the skull inside under high pressure. It failed to crush the snake head, but instead overwhelmed the glass pipe. An iron nail driven into the component was knocked out. The venom in the pool is not staying still, but is being transported to the pipe. At the same time, several instruments in the corner of the factory kept flashing lights and buzzing, and the smell of burning soon filled the surrounding air.

"Um?"

Ron turned back and glanced at the surrounding water tower where corpses and various impurities were soaked. Then he lay down and glanced at the molten pool where there was no sticky matter except green watery liquid. Suddenly, an ominous premonition appeared.

“Masaka!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the pipe with the giant snake's head stuck exploded. At the same time, the highly toxic liquid that was suddenly released by the high pressure poured into the pipe breach. The consequence is... continuous explosions! !

Boom... boom! !

"Fuck!!"

Looking at the poisonous liquid flying in front of him along with the firelight, Ron didn't have time to think about it. He dragged his trophy knife and flew upwards without saying a word.

At the same time, because the delivery of the tranquilizer was interrupted, the sleepy Hell Island Crab opened his eyes with a swipe and stared at the impressive naval ship above him.

"Roar!!!"

Outside Hell Island, the warship was in chaos.

"Lieutenant General! The venom delivery system is not responding! All instruments have failed!"

"Nani?! Check again. The instruments are buried deep underground. It's impossible for them all to fail in an instant!! Did someone put a bomb inside?!"

Ron: The bomb was not deployed, but the effect was pretty much the same.

Ordinary impurities in glass pipes can be easily removed without clogging, let alone exploding the instrument. But with a huge snake corpse more than 300 meters long blocking it, the consequences would be quite serious!

"It's true! Currently, only the Thunder Cloud system is still operating!"

"Flying Squirrel... Lieutenant General? What should we do?"

The adjutant was really about to cry. Didn't we say it was over? !

Why did you wake up again? !

How to fight this monster that cannot be resisted by humans

The last resort they can rely on to compete with the Hell Island crabs is the safety device left on the island. Now that the venom delivery system has failed, it is equivalent to losing an arm!

"Increase the current! Start attack sequence No. 4!"

The awakening of the Hell Island Crab was something the Flying Squirrel never expected. The sleeping giant beast and the waking giant beast are two completely different creatures! There was a faint oppressive atmosphere lingering in the air. This coercion, similar to the overlord's domineering force, made people's mouths dry. Coupled with the failure of the venom system, the soldiers on the warship fell into panic again.

The flying squirrel rubbed his temples with a headache, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and waved his hand to order.

Failure of the safety device at this time is quite fatal!

Without the poisonous mixture, even if the electric current can reach the brain directly and interfere with its movements, the damage caused by the Hell Island Crab's huge size when it struggles will not be affected at all!

But the flying squirrel knows that the more critical it is, the less likely it is to show any fear! He is the god of this warship! If even he starts to be afraid, the soldiers will immediately be dominated by fear!

Under the influence of the flying squirrel's powerful momentum, the soldier who barely stayed awake entered instructions according to the operation manual. I saw the flashing steel pillars around the Hell Island Crab erupting in a neat buzzing sound in the next moment, and the waves suddenly dispersed. At the same time, an indescribable numbness began to spread, as if being in a high altitude shrouded by thunder and lightning, making people's hands and feet numb.

"Roar!!"

After activating the No. 4 attack sequence, the Hell Island Crab let out a clearly audible scream. The steel pillars inserted into its brain burst out with terrifying electric current, which was no less sour than Professor Sheep's. As it began to tremble, the entire Hell Island kept shaking, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the ground sunken. The recruits who were still on the island all had pale faces and were frightened out of their wits by the continuous vibrations.

"Are you... going to die?"

"Help! I don't want to die here!!"

Especially those guys who witnessed the mainland-like claws on the front of the island were shocked beyond words. I could only stare numbly at the steel pillar that began to burst with electricity, waiting for the result.

If the flying squirrel cannot suppress the giant beast under its feet, one can imagine their fate...

but…

"Speaking of which, did any of you see Ron? Did he win or lose in the end?"

Dongte turned around, looked at the central basin of the island, stopped at the sudden canyon, and asked.

It’s really “abrupt”!

Since the Hell Island Crab was about to wake up, Dongte and others ignored the news of the war coming from the basin and retreated to a solid rock layer area before stopping. As a result, at this moment, a thunderous explosion appeared, attracting their attention.

When they ran to the cliff and looked up, a large piece of the central basin of Hell Island, which was a large green area just a few minutes ago, disappeared and was replaced by a huge canyon that could be called a miracle! A ferocious huge snake head emerged from the edge of the canyon, exuding endless power!

The scene was shocking, but Dongte and others did not believe that Ron would die.

Because he is a natural ability user, enemies who do not have armed Haki cannot kill him. After all who would have thought? A white snake on Hell Island can actually use armed color Haki!

So in their eyes, with such a big thing happening on the island, why was there no movement at all from Ron

Was he really killed

"I saw him! Over there!"

"where?!"

"Hiss... he's not dead after all!!"

Suddenly, a scream woke everyone up.

Everyone turned around in unison and looked at the thunder and lightning flying higher and higher, their eyes filled with shock!

Even such a terrifying attack did not kill Ron, which shows the dominance of the natural system!

only…

"Did he fly too high?"

Someone whispered, and everyone was shocked.

Yes, Hell Island is a restricted space! !

Sure enough, as the thunder and lightning reached the extreme distance, the thunderclouds in the sky felt that they had been provoked. The dense electric ions in the air began to become active, converging into a beam of light that was hundreds of meters thick, and blasted down! Ron, the "warrior" who dared to challenge the sky, was hit by the lightning beam before he could turn around and avoid it, and flew towards the ground again.

Back and forth, like playing ping pong.

Following the thunder and lightning, Ron quickly landed, looking at the trophy in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He did not fly to high altitude to trigger the thunder on purpose, but at the moment when he was floating in the air, he, the instigator, finally discovered what had happened on the island. The ingenious steel pillars stood erected on the sea. The scene was so spectacular that it distracted him for a moment.

By the time you realize you're flying too high, it's already too late.

This lightning beam was so dazzling that it was still clearly visible even at the moment when the maximum current burst out from the steel column. Compared with the thunder and lightning generated by nature, the electric light on the steel pillar is like the glow of fireflies.

Looking at the thunder pillar and the warship deck, Flying Squirrel had an ominous premonition at a certain moment.

Hey, hey... The reason why the venom device failed was not your fault, right? ! !
