His face was strangely pale, and his arms were covered with rust spots, like steel ropes wrapped around his muscles. His casual movements made a muffled sound as he rubbed against the air. Zoro held the hilt of his sword with both hands.
After the Sandians' medical treatment, which was very different from the ground's, the rust poison that rotted his flesh was suppressed and lived in his body in a parasitic way.
The muscle strength of the whole body had been increased tremendously, but the flexibility of the limbs had been weakened. It was as if the "lubricant" and gaps of the body's joints had been blocked and exhausted. Even the slightest movement would cause the joints to creak.
"As Wei Bai said, Thunder God Enel is probably a Logia user. We need to plan very carefully before we act." Zoro's voice was hoarse and cold, like a blade scraping his vocal cords.
Luffy's back was facing Zoro. There were two scars on his shoulders that almost penetrated his back. A layer of the same strange rust color appeared on the surface of his body. After the Sandians' treatment, his heart was like a pump that was running crazily all the time, transporting terrifying blood to all parts of his body. Just by standing there, the pores on the surface of his body were steaming with white steam.
The symbiotic rust bug brought him an improvement in his physique, but at the same time, it was a huge burden. According to the Sandians, Luffy overdrew his life and lost at least 15 years of his lifespan.
"Are the people of Qinghai all so weak?" Wei Bai spat out the homemade cigarette and said disdainfully, "The Sandians are the strongest warriors. What plan do we need? It's nothing more than a fierce battle. Either we take back the ancient holy land, or we die in our homeland."
The Shanthian warriors standing behind Wei Bai all revealed expressions of facing death with equanimity. Their bodies were covered in colorful tattoos, emitting a ferocious aura.
Nami and Usopp looked at each other. Nami was holding a specially made weather stick in her hand, while Usopp was carrying a huge backpack with a slingshot made of fine iron on his waist. In addition to the potions left by Choba, the backpack was filled with all kinds of shells from the Sky Island.
Shells were a specialty of the Sky Island and could be used in all fields of life and fighting. It was very magical. Usopp's backpack was full of shells that could be used in fighting.
For example:
Wind Shell: It can store wind and then release it. The skateboard tied to their feet now uses wind to propel them to move quickly.
Impact Shell: After absorbing the impact, release it again to create a huge impact destructive force.
Flash Shell: Stores light and instantly releases it.
Flame Shell: Stores fire and instantly releases it.
Cloud Shell: A cloud unique to the Sky Island, but it cannot be used after returning to land.
…
Usopp had been racking his brains to figure out how to use these shells to improve his combat effectiveness. He thought of himself as a ship worker and sniper of the Straw Hats. Oh, there were also two modified flintlock sniper rifles hanging diagonally from his backpack. He had exchanged them from the Shantian soldiers.
In addition to a slingshot, a sniper rifle, and a backpack, Usopp also had a rope in his hand. His body seemed to have grown bald recently, and his leopard-like body was already three meters long. His teeth were jagged and sharp, and his pair of cold eyes revealed the inherent savagery of carnivores.
Although Usopp was puzzled, he didn't think much about it and included Baldy as a combat member of the Straw Hats.
He and Nami looked at each other and then looked at Luffy without saying a word. Luffy had changed a lot. Since Chopper left the team and was trapped in the maze and Sanji died in front of him, Luffy had become silent all day. In addition to crazy exercise every day, he liked to stare at the sky in a daze. There seemed to be many emotions and responsibilities in the depths of his eyes.
"You don't know what we went through to come to the Sky Island!" Luffy half turned his head, his eyes completely still as he stared straight at Wei Bai. "We carry the blood of our comrades on our backs. Fighting and killing isn't child's play, people will die. Every single one of my crew members are my most precious comrades, I have to be responsible for their lives."
"The obsession and courage of the Sandians are admirable, which is why we are willing to help you, but to put it bluntly, you have not been able to take back the Holy Land in the past 400 years, which is enough to show that faith and courage alone are far from enough." The strange desert labyrinth would appear in Luffy's mind all the time, Sanji's eyes were wide open, self-reproach and anger were like a slippery viper entangling his heart, making his whole mood fall into cold reason at all times.
"You don't want your companions to fall in front of you." Nami interjected to ease the atmosphere: "We have all witnessed the power of Thunder God Enel!"
Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability user, the most powerful and terrifying god in the Sky Island for 400 years, likes to wear a white headscarf, embed a thunder drum on his back, and hold a golden scepter in his hand. He can freely manipulate the power of thunder and lightning, and can combine Observation Haki with the ability of electromagnetic waves to develop the ability known as "Heart Net".
Heart Net is a listening ability. Enel's Heart Net can cover the entire Sky Island, that is to say, as long as he wants, he can hear the voice of all life on the Sky Island.
The omnipresent Heart Net, as well as the accurate strike like a cannon, this powerful and terrifying despair shrouds the entire Sky Island. Enel is worthy of the name of Thunder God, and the Sky Island is like a toy in his palm.
"Wei Bai is the strongest warrior of Sandia. We believe that he can lead us to take back the Holy Land." The warriors of Sandia said in unison.
"As long as I get close, I can kill Enel!" Wei Bai covered his chest, and under the clothes against his chest, there was a cold shell feeling his majestic beating heart.
Luffy's face moved slightly. He could hear the determination and confidence in Wei Bai's tone. He pondered for a while and said, "We need one more person!"
"Who?"
"The former god defeated by Enel, the Sky Knight!" Luffy replied.
At the same time.
Below the Sky Island, a warship returning from the East China Sea sailed into Alabasta and entered the port of the abandoned Naval Branch along the inland river watered by the rain. Smoker and Vivi stood at the port and stared at Bell who came down from the deck.
Bell jumped off the ship, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and walked towards the two with a slightly heavy heart. The Marine Adjutant behind him was directing the soldiers to unload the goods …
