Under the cover of the haze and lead clouds, the sun that stubbornly penetrated through the sky sprinkled down from the sky and fell on Luffy's face, making it pale.
Luffy's back was wriggling, and the muscles all over his body were stretched taut. From his shoulders to his waist, his body was covered in dense scars. Luffy raised his head, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds and land on the sun. A cluster of burning flames was wreaking havoc in his eyes. His chest was heaving up and down, and it was as if a ferocious beast was trapped and roaring.
"Sky!" Luffy turned his head and said word by word, "Let's go to the Sky Island!"
"I believe that the legend of the Sky Island is true. Since it is a legend, it must be unusual!" Luffy clenched his fist and said, "We will go there to recruit new partners, and then come back to avenge Sanji!"
"…" Usopp subconsciously touched his neck. The "Blood Eye" planted by Dalaran had disappeared, but he always felt that someone was peeping at him from behind.
Turning his head, there was no one behind him, only the bald man who was eating raw fish on the ground.
"Dalaran should be dead, he should be killed by Ace!" Usopp whispered.
The straw hats who escaped from Alabasta were still wishfully believing in the "beautiful conversation". They didn't know that soon a shocking news would spread from Alabasta to the world.
"It was not only the apostle who killed Sanji, but also the master behind the underground desert and the monster's nest!" Luffy woke up from his grief and anger. His mind was clearer than ever. He clenched his teeth and said coldly, "It was Wapol, and maybe the Marine Captain who didn't show up – Yarlin!"
There was no conclusive evidence, but there were inextricable links, and driven by anger, Luffy put all the people who might be related to the desert palace on the list of enemies.
He may not have realized that he had already identified the real culprit behind the scenes!
The name 'Arlen' seemed to carry some kind of invisible magic, and the air on the deck froze. To Usopp, the owner of this name was like a nightmare that haunted his heart, and it only grew more and more terrifying.
As for Sauron, every time Arlen appeared, it was as if Arlen was destined to be his nemesis. It was as if Arlen had planted a heart demon in Sauron's heart.
What's more, there may be a strange connection between Wapol and Yarlin, all of which made it difficult for the straw hats not to have the deepest malicious speculation about Yarlin.
"I understand, I will find a way to go to the Sky Island." Nami broke the solemn atmosphere and was the first to speak.
Usopp's mind was filled with Sanji's eyes. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and walked over to help Nami control the rudder.
Zoro looked into Lu Fei's eyes, and both of them could see the flames of hatred in each other's eyes. The flames seemed to want to burn the labyrinth under the Alabasta Desert to the ground one day.
… … …
In a newly divided laboratory inside the pyramid, there were several corpses lying on a row of experiment tables. The corpses were well-preserved, and the biochemical fluid that was injected into their bodies through the catheters kept their bodies in a fresh state.
Vincent Moke Niji's body was dissected and cut open, and Sanji's body not far away was also cut open. Adams was wearing a bloody white coat, fiddling with the analysis of the cell fluid. His eyes showed a strange and hot light. He said excitedly to Arlen, who was standing beside him, "From the comparison of the genetic sequences, the two of them are brothers, and there is a strange power in their bodies, but one is in an activated state, and the other is still in a recessive state."
The redivided laboratory was an exclusive area of Adams, mainly because Sanji's body was not easy to be seen by Dr. Culeja and Chopper the blue-nosed reindeer.
Yarlin believed that a man should keep his word, and a promise made should be believed until the moment of death, so there was no difference between a lie and the truth.
"This kind of unique eyebrows, if it was just one person, I would think it was a coincidence, but now I can be sure that these two corpses are members of the Vincent Moke family!" Adams was 80% sure that the dissected brothers were the blood of Vincent Moke Niji.
"The one who funded your experiments …" Yarlin raised his eyebrows, and a trace of suspicion appeared in his deep pupils, "Did he guess that you were here? No, this guy is a member of the Straw Hat gang, and the one who came later followed, so it's just a coincidence, interesting! "
"What's more interesting is that there is a human-coded region in their genetic sequences." Adams said enthusiastically, "Their blood contains an unknown power that does not belong to human beings, and the composition of this power is very similar to the nature of the Devil Fruit!"
"Niji's theory on the bloodline factor is indeed approaching maturity, and it can be applied to the human body!" Adams sighed and praised, "I just didn't expect that he would apply this technology to his son, but this is in line with his character!"
"Bloodline factor?" Yarlin asked.
"I heard Niji mention it once. The bloodline factor theory came from his early research on the Devil Fruit with Vegapunk, and it was one of the important results. They found a substance in the Devil Fruit, which they named the bloodline factor." Adams recalled, "After the Devil Fruit was swallowed by humans, it was this bloodline factor that produced a complex effect in the body, and finally caused a genetic mutation, giving the ability user various strange abilities."
"Later, the government arrested Vegapunk and forced him to become the chief scientist of the Marine Headquarters to work for the government. All the research results were of the highest level of confidentiality, and Niji was not arrested because of his special identity, but the relevant research was also ordered to stop." Adams explained, "But obviously, he has been conducting secret research. At the same time, after learning about my research project, he secretly funded me to conduct the experiment. Of course, I have to share the various data and results of the experiment with him regularly."
"So, the bloodline factor is the essence of the Devil Fruit!" Yarlin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Adams and said, "So if you master this technology, you can artificially create the Devil Fruit?"
"In theory, yes, but it is difficult to fully realize. After all, the Devil Fruit is the world's biggest mystery!" Adams said to Yarlin while dissecting Niji's body, "However, Niji has obviously overcome some problems, so this guy's body can discharge electricity!"
