"hateful.."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!
!”
"Luffy, Vivian, if you are still alive, get out here right now!"
Sabo, who had been swimming in the deep sea for nearly thirty minutes, was obviously starting to panic.
Fifty minutes have passed. Under normal circumstances, even strong non-mermaids can survive in the deep sea for several hours, but Vivian and Luffy are users of devil fruit abilities!
Once the ability user comes into contact with sea water, not only will the whole body become weak, but the devil fruit ability will also become completely unusable at this moment. In addition, these two guys are at the center of the explosion and must have suffered considerable injuries...
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a high possibility that the two of them had drowned.
Then Sabo's arms swung faster.
But... maybe it's because he stayed in the radiation center for too long, the redness and swelling on his body are becoming more and more obvious.
The other side.
Franky piloted the Shark submarine, carrying Hancock in the opposite direction of Sabo. At this moment when both of them were feeling extremely anxious, the detection machine in front of the submarine suddenly flashed.
"Human life has been discovered!"
Franky's face lit up with joy.
He spent a lot of time making this thing some time ago, in order to prevent people on the boat from accidentally falling into the sea. He didn't expect that it would actually come in handy today.
But when he moved the boat closer to the direction indicated by the machine, he did not see Vivian and the other person.
Because the island completely sank into the sea, there were rubble and debris everywhere around it, and large pieces of building ruins were scattered everywhere.
After searching for a while along the seemingly endless ruins, Franky actually discovered two surviving human beings trapped under layers of huge rocks.
“Right here…”
Franky said, asking Hancock to help watch the control panel temporarily, while he went out of the cabin and started moving the stones with the huge mechanical arm.
Although the stone is large, Franky's arms can now lift tens of tons after being improved by himself.
The stones were quickly moved away one by one by Franky in the water. Hancock was extremely anxious watching through the observation mirror in the submarine, but she could do nothing. She even began to regret why she had eaten the sweet fruit in the first place, so that now Vivian was in danger and she could not go out to rescue her.
I...I really deserve to die.
She couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
However, Franky, who was digging hard outside, didn't notice it.
“Found it!”
He shouted in ecstasy, and then big gulps of sea water poured into his mouth. Franky quickly put a breathing mask on his mouth, and then pulled out the two humans who were trapped under the boulder.
The moment he saw the two people's faces clearly, Franky was stunned.
"Luffy's dad?!"
Yes, that's right, one of them is Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army with the iconic tattoo on his face.
At this moment, perhaps due to the long-term damage caused by radiation, the skin and flesh on the dragon's body have almost been turned over and turned blood red.
In addition, his stomach was bloated and his eyes were rolling back. It looked like he had been drowning and unconscious for a long time.
"We have to take him back for treatment immediately..."
Franky thought with a serious expression.
However, when his gaze shifted to the other even more unrecognizable figure, a look of astonishment immediately appeared in his eyes.
"White..Whitebeard?!"
I swallowed subconsciously.
Franky quickly picked up the two of them, then turned around and rushed back to the yacht.
...
Three hours had passed since the island sank into the sea.
With the collapsed part of the red soil continent as the center, the area within a radius of six or seven hundred kilometers is still shrouded in radiation.
Under the bright moonlight, even though it's hard to see clearly with the naked eye, it always makes people feel that there is a layer of haze everywhere.
Countless fish of various kinds floated on the sea, and the originally azure blue sea was glowing with red and earthy halos.
Everyone was waiting for the final outcome of the battle, including the wounded who had just woken up.
But there is no doubt that, except for a very small number of people, more than 90% of those who escaped from the radiation zone were harmed to varying degrees. Not only did their bodies become swollen and congested, and their hair fell out in large quantities, but some even lost sensation in their limbs.
"Is there no new news yet?" Sanji couldn't help but ask.
"No." Betty shook her head.
Because the power of radiation is so strong, the human body is so fragile in front of it, let alone the Den Den Mushi.
The snail shell, which could only be used as a decoration, broke apart easily, and the worm meat inside turned into a pulpy lake as time passed. So much so that when many people reached into their pockets to take out a Den Den Mushi, most of them would pull out a pool of red and white liquid, which made people feel nauseous.
"Isn't it possible that they all died in the sea?"
I don't know who suddenly said this, but immediately everyone cast murderous glances at them.
The scene was quiet for about less than twenty seconds, and suddenly, Franky's shark submarine finally emerged from the sea, causing everyone present to gather at the bow eagerly.
"how's it going?"
"Did you rescue anyone?"
despair!
The hatch was pushed open from the inside, and everyone was shocked when Franky walked out with Dragon and Whitebeard on his shoulders.
"Dad?!"
"Mr. Long!"
The pirates and the Revolutionary Army rushed forward, took the two men from Franky, and carefully put them on stretchers.
However, the navy and the Straw Hat Pirates all stretched their necks and looked at the submarine behind Franky.
"Where is our captain?" Usopp asked.
"Yes, where is our Lord Vivian?" all the navy asked together.
Unexpectedly, Franky shook his head and said, "Vivian and Luffy..."
"No way... you really didn't find it?"
The sailors interrupted him with their mouths wide open.
"What should I do now?"
"It's been over three hours, General Vivian. He must have drowned."
“Wuwuwuwu…”
The cries soon echoed on all the warships.
However, Franky was speechless when he saw this. He covered his forehead with his big hand, and then transformed a small speaker from his mechanical arm, put it in front of his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! What I wanted to say just now is that Vivian and Luffy have been found, but because the Celestial Dragon Yinmu is not dead yet, they choose to continue chasing him."
Everyone:
