The continuous sand walls intersected to form a fork in the road, like a strange empty tomb formed by a sea of sand. The maze path under their feet was paved with a thick layer of fine sand, and the Straw Hats' feet made a crunching sound as they stepped on it. Along with a glimpse of a blurry silhouette above their heads, the dripping blood formed a straight line and occasionally dripped down, dampening the sand walls under their feet or beside them. The smell of blood spread in the air.
"I feel like something is staring at us!" Choba stared at the sand walls on both sides, and there was a faint black connection inside. It was the black tentacles and vines, like steel bars embedded in the mud, but strangely extending inside the walls. His animal instincts and the enhanced sense of touch given by the Zoan Devil Fruit made him feel a deep malice coming from all directions.
"Is there? Don't scare me!" Usopp's face was pale, and he forced a stiff smile. His eyes looked up at the dripping blood from time to time, and he hurriedly dodged it. The horrifying smell of blood and minced meat still made his stomach churn.
Suddenly, the sand wall on the side suddenly collapsed, and a black shadow rushed out. The shadow's long and thick arms were surrounded by rings of fierce scales. His palm was as straight as a knife, and his fingertips were sharp and gleaming with a cold luster. He grabbed at Usopp who was frozen in place in fear.
Whoosh!
The blade flashed, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Black blood splattered, and a severed hand fell to the ground, revealing the smooth white bone stubble, but it was still ferocious and headed straight for Usopp.
Usopp was the second to wake up, and his eyes contracted and trembled. The bloody hand and bones in his vision quickly enlarged and occupied his entire vision. He squatted down, and the muscles on his forehead spasmed, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Hot blood stained his entire head, and he could not tell if it was the blood from the severed hand or his skull being smashed.
Keng!
Choba suddenly swallowed a blue pill, and the horns on his head suddenly grew a few times longer, like two halves of a spear. The sharp tip pierced into the gap between the flesh and bones of the broken wrist. The powerful force directly blocked the impact, and at the same time, it made a screeching sound as it pierced through the flesh and bones from the inside.
Wado Ichimonji let out a cold screeching sound as an icy silver light pierced into the figure's neck from the side. Following that, the sound of a steel cable being cut apart could be heard. The figure's neck, which was as thick as a baby's waist, was split open. The flesh and even the throat that had been cut open didn't seem human at all, revealing a dark metallic glow.
Although it took a long time to describe, it actually took less than half a breath. Only then did everyone clearly see that the attacker actually had two heads. Two heads, one big and one small, grew out of the thick and knotted neck like a tree branch. The big head was the size of a normal human head, while the small one was only half the size.
The neck was cut open, and one of the heads fell down powerlessly, hanging at a twisted angle on the neck. The other small head that was hidden at the back, and at first glance, it looked like a sarcoma on the shoulder. The bulge became ferocious, and a mouth of rotten teeth clashed, biting towards the horns like a knife that was used to chop meat.
"Choba, dodge!"
Choba was shocked, and his horns shrunk back into pocket-sized antlers. The rotten teeth actually bit his severed hand, and blood spurted out from his mouth. He roared and opened his mouth again, and Sanji's leg whip flew over Choba's head, and hit the bloody severed hand.
His bones were broken, and his teeth were broken. Then, his small head caved in, and blood spurted out like a flower. Sanji took back his trousers that were stained with blood. The figure that was missing a head and a broken neck finally stopped breathing. His body swayed and fell to the ground.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Usopp, are you okay?"
After a minute or two, the straw hats finally calmed down. Choba treated Usopp's wound. The hair on the left side of his head was shaved bald, and the bloody skin on his head was exposed. Luckily, he reacted quickly and only scraped off a layer of skin, and did not hurt the skull.
Usopp touched his head that was wrapped like a dumpling with fear. The bandage was smeared with hemostatic medicine, and the cool feeling reminded him of the life and death situation. He looked at Zoro's extremely gloomy face, and suddenly forced a smile and said, "It's okay, this monster with two heads, everyone was shocked. Zoro, your reaction was already very fast, but no one expected this monster to be so cruel."
Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword and looked at Usopp's head apologetically. He was also slightly scared. He nodded, and used the scabbard to check the body on the ground. Thick neck, two ferocious heads, muscles like steel, arms and legs covered with armor-like scales, and fingernails as sharp as knives. It was as if every organ in the body was grown to kill people.
Was this a human?
Could a human look like this?
A Devil Fruit ability user? Didn't look like it!
Choba squatted down and fiddled with the corpses on the ground. The more he looked, the more shocked he was. A horrifying thought surfaced in his mind. It should be a human, but it was artificially transformed into a murderous monster. It's like using two humans as rag dolls and randomly piecing them together to form a single one.
I don't know how this was done. I didn't find any scars from surgery or stitches on his body. Instead, it looks like he was born like this. But, as a doctor, I can be sure that my judgment is very close to the truth. Choba felt a chill in his heart. The person who mastered this technique must be extremely accomplished in the field of life or medicine. At the same time, he must be a terrifying madman.
Choba's guess was not far from the truth. This two-headed killing machine was a product of Adams' experiment. It was neither a failure nor a success. It was just that its appearance was too shocking, so it was not placed on the ground. Instead, it was hidden in the sand maze, and there were more than one of them.
With the help of the broodmother, or rather the laboratory, Adams was constantly putting the ideas that flashed through his mind into practice. Apart from recording more and more experimental data, the sand maze had also become a terrifying monster playground.
But for various reasons, these monsters did not appear on the ground. They were hibernating underground, waiting for their prey in loneliness.
