It was winter, and the afterglow of dusk fell on the snow and frost, reflecting a faint cold glow. The air was filled with a cold atmosphere. The Golden Merry, which looked like a typical "Caravelle" structure, slowly crashed into the snow beach and stopped. The pirate flag with a straw hat and skull on top of a goat horn was lowered. Sanji with curly eyebrows and blonde curly eyebrows jumped off the ship with Nami wrapped in a thick down jacket.
Her eyebrows are tightly closed, and her hair is loose, revealing her flushed cheeks. Nami seems to have fallen into a nightmare that she can't escape from. Her forehead is hot, and she is obviously in a state of high fever and coma.
Luffy and Usopp jumped off the ship one after another and looked in the direction of the Magnetic Drum Island. Usopp looked in the direction of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom through binoculars. The ice field reflected the cold light, and the ground was full of fine cracks, as if there was a huge spider web sticking to the surface of the ground, and the scars were forcibly torn off. It was extremely strange.
It was empty, and the wind blew without hindrance. The snow fell in the air, and snowflakes were everywhere.
"Why is this island so quiet? I don't see any trees or animals. Found it …" Usopp pointed to the side of the snowy mountain. At the place where the sun set, there was a cluster of white buildings that almost blended in with the snow. A particularly tall circular palace was at the top of the cluster.
Since it was too far away, Usopp could only vaguely make out a silhouette. There was no trace of a person. Usopp frowned suspiciously. In his line of sight, the huge statue standing on top of the palace looked vaguely familiar.
"Let's go there first to find a doctor for Nami." Luffy touched the edge of his straw hat. "I'll go with Usopp first. Sanji, you follow us with Nami. Zoro, stay behind to guard the ship."
"Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy stretched out his hand and grabbed Usopp's arm. Like a spring, he jumped across the snow and quickly disappeared, leaving only a trail of footprints on the ground.
Green Algae Head Zoro took off his clothes, leaving his chest bare. He held the Wado Ichimonji in his hands and stepped on the side of the ship, braving the bone-chilling sea breeze to begin his swordsmanship training.
Sanji carefully put the mask on Nami's face. She held Nami with both hands and tried to keep her balance. She kept a relatively uniform speed and followed Luffy's footsteps.
"Luffy, this island is a little strange!" Usopp was wearing a pair of goggles. Luffy dragged Usopp all the way. His small eyes looked around. The closer he got to the island, the more mottled and fine marks on the ground. The marks twisted and surrounded some bottomless pits. Usopp judged that those were the pits of trees and plants after they were uprooted.
If this was the case, then it was as if someone had pulled off a bloody layer of the island. Usopp was horrified. His guess was not far from the truth. The only difference was that the layer of flesh was not pulled out of the ground, but dragged into the ground and swallowed up.
This was an island that was almost swallowed up. The reason why it was "almost" was that there was still a blue-nosed reindeer that looked like a civet cat breathing carefully on the island.
At this moment.
Soft footsteps echoed in the empty Magnetic Drum Palace. A short figure walked along the wall with a bulging backpack on his back. The backpack was filled with saws, hammers, wrenches, and other tools. His two little hooves dragged two sturdy wooden planks on the ground with great effort. The sound of the planks rubbing against the ground could be heard through the huge palace gate that had been dismantled and sawed off.
The sunlight that shone at the base of the wall reflected the shadow of the wooden plank on the ground. It was like a strange dwarf dragging a tail that was a few meters long on the ground and muttering to himself. In the empty palace, there was an ethereal sound as if someone was talking in his sleep. It was hard to hear clearly.
"If the gate of the palace is removed, it should be enough to make a small boat … Really, there is no book on how to build a boat in the books left by Culeja!"
The voice drifted out. Usopp looked up at the huge and bloated sculpture on the top of the palace in horror. His lips and teeth were stiff and trembling. Luffy also looked up with a dignified expression. He clenched his fists unnaturally, and his muscles tightened to maintain a vigilant attack posture.
As they got closer, they finally saw the outline of the sculpture. The bloated body was clamped like an iron plate, and the mouth was laughing exaggeratedly, revealing two neat rows of sharp gums. The specially polished stone shone coldly under the sunlight. The whole sculpture seemed to come alive, lifelike.
"It's that guy!" Usopp reminded Luffy. "The guy next to Yarlin."
Without Usopp's reminder, Luffy also recalled the bloody scene of Clark being swallowed and chewed. He glanced at the dead silent city and wondered, "This sculpture stands on the top of the palace. Does it mean that guy is the king here? Where are the people in this city?"
Usopp's ears trembled as he heard heavy footsteps dragging on the ground, accompanied by a strange and ethereal murmur. Usopp abruptly looked towards the half-destroyed door and saw a tall and terrifying figure walking towards him.
"He's coming!"
Luffy's eyes narrowed, and his arms stretched backward like springs. Then he saw the blue-nosed reindeer, who had been petrified, come out in a daze. Its fur stood up as if it had been electrocuted, and its face showed an extremely human-like expression of horror.
"A civet cat?"
"A reindeer that walks upright?"
The cold wind rolled up the snow and blew on the cheeks of the two men and the reindeer. With a click, the door fell to the ground.
On the other side.
On the calm sea, a shuttle-shaped ship quickly approached Magnetic Drum Island. Several heavily armed agents of the Baroque studio held binoculars in their hands.
"A small pirate ship was found on the beach!"
"Do we need to make contact?"
"Pirate? There is no need to destroy it! "
After a brief conversation, the bald man who was standing under the sail with his eyes closed didn't say a word from beginning to end. The other Baroque agents made a decision. A thick and long iron cannon protruded from both sides of the ship.
"It's coming here! There are no patterns or markings on the grey sails … "Sauron sheathed his sword and stared at the ship that was speeding towards them. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed. In the sky, a cannonball was shooting towards them in an arc …
