"Sixth Apostle? What the hell?" Sanji stopped in his tracks and stared at Dalaran warily. The other party walked out from behind the sand wall. The blood vessels that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws surrounded the other party's body. At first glance, it looked like the blood vessels in the other party's body had pierced through the other party's skin and flesh.
"Blue-nosed reindeer, Dr. Culeja wants to see you!" Dalaran pointed his finger at Choba, and the veins on his arm began to rotate and bloom like a blooming flower. Strands of terrifying veins spread out and covered Choba.
"Dr. Culeja!!!" Choba was stunned, while Sanji's pupils shrunk. He stood in front of Choba to protect him. He stood with one leg on the ground, and the other leg swept out in the air. His straight leather shoes were like a dagger that cut back and forth. The wet and sticky blood vessels were shredded and fell off layer by layer. The blood that splashed out dyed Sanji's trousers red.
"Dr. Culeja is indeed underground. But why does she want to see me?" A few drops of blood splashed on Choba's face. He suddenly woke up and felt the blood in his body moving restlessly. His ears were filled with the sound of blood rushing in his veins. It was so intense that it felt like it was going to spurt out from the wound on his face.
Choba reminded Sanji, "Be careful, there's something wrong with the blood!"
"What?" Sanji retracted his leg, but he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his ankle. He quickly lifted his trouser leg and saw the blood droplets that had soaked his trouser leg. They were arranged neatly and translucent, like countless bright pearls drilling into the pores of his skin. It was creepy as if they had a life of their own.
Horrified, Sanji kicked the air repeatedly. Some blood droplets were flung away. His calf and ankle became red and hot at a speed visible to the naked eye. Blood capillaries bulged on his skin as if they were about to explode from the inside.
Bang!
A dull and weird sound was heard. Sanji's entire right calf was covered in blood. Then, the skin and flesh on his calf seemed to have been dehydrated and air-dried. The originally healthy and plump muscles withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blood vessels inside were all broken and necrotic, emitting a foul smell.
"Damned bastard, what did you do to Sanji?" Luffy stomped on the ground and swung his fists at Dalaran.
"Rubber man?" Dalaran didn't move from his original position. He only lightly snapped his fingers, and the bloody figure behind Luffy suddenly moved. It moved later than Luffy, forming a bloody shadow in the air. It almost instantly caught up to Luffy, and its two arms seemed to twist and wrap around Luffy's shoulders.
The strong and nauseating smell of blood rushed into Luffy's head from his mouth and nose. He felt as if his whole body was about to explode. His chest was stuffy and depressed, and his internal organs were operating crazily as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The skin of his two arms that were bound was festering inch by inch, and large pieces of necrotic blood vessels and flesh fell off.
"Luffy!"
Nami and Sanji screamed in despair. The three most powerful people in the team had been disabled one after another. They could no longer see any hope of survival.
Zoro struggled out of Choba's body while panting heavily. He let out a beast-like howl from his throat. His bandaged hands struggled to grab the hilt of his sword. The broken wounds dyed the bandages red. Such a simple action seemed to have consumed all of Zoro's strength.
Choba panicked. He rushed towards Luffy without a care in the world. His hands grabbed at the bloody man that was wrapped around Luffy. Dalaran frowned slightly and snapped his fingers. The bloody man let go of Luffy and slid to his side.
Choba looked at Luffy who was covered in blood and flesh. He hurriedly did a simple and quick treatment to stop the bleeding. Tears were rolling in his eyes.
"Choba, bring everyone away. I will hold that monster back!" Luffy crawled up from the ground and stood in front of Choba. He raised his bloody arms and spun them, making a whirring sound. Blood splattered everywhere, but Luffy did not seem to feel it at all. He only glared at Dalaran fiercely.
Sanji dragged his rotten and smelly feet over and stood beside Luffy. He grinned at Choba and said, "My legs are lame, so I won't be leaving. You guys hurry up and escape. Luffy and I will hold this monster back for you."
"Curly Eyebrows, who are you looking down on?" Zoro's arms trembled as he pulled his sword out of its scabbard. He clenched his teeth tightly and said in a muffled voice, "I am a three-sword swordsman. Even if my arms are crippled, I still have a sword that can kill people!"
"Zoro, Luffy, Sanji!" Usopp and Nami's eyes were filled with tears. They looked at each other and suddenly smiled with determination. One of them held a slingshot while the other held a short stick-like weapon. They walked over and stood with Luffy and the other two. They said in unison, "Let's kill this monster together and leave this underground maze together."
"What a touching scene! I can't wait to drain all of your blood!" Dalaran licked his wet lips with his tongue and said darkly, "Blood that flows in desperation is the most delicious!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the wriggling blood shadow opened its bloody mouth. Countless condensed blood vessels extended from its scarlet mouth, like needles used for infusion. The top of the needles was a mosquito-like mouthpiece that flickered with a red light.
"It's all to help me find Dr. Culeja. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a desperate situation. It's all my fault —"
Choba walked around and stood in front of everyone. His muscles bulged and he rushed towards Dalaran like a mad bull.
"You can't die. Everyone else has to die!" Dalaran stood still. With a thought, the blood vessels wrapped around his body suddenly spread out and weaved into a cage in mid-air, pressing Choba down on the sand. Then, with a gentle flick of his finger, countless needles shot towards the straw hats. The back of the needles were connected to the bloodthirsty tubes.
On the other side of the projection screen, Yarlin watched expressionlessly while Adams watched with interest as if he was watching a high-definition movie. Dr. Culeja stared at Choba who was struggling on the ground in the blood prison. She suddenly threw herself on the ground and grabbed Yarlin's ankle with both hands and begged, "Let them go. If you kill those guys, Choba won't be able to live either. You said you would let Choba and me reunite here. You promised me. I beg you to let the others go!"
"Oh? You're begging me? " With his back facing Dr. Culeja, Yarlin's eyes flashed with a cruel and cunning light. He turned to Dr. Culeja and said softly, "I promise you?"
