The air was filled with the smell of decay and death. The vitality of the entire island seemed to have been sucked out along with the parasitic plants.
The naval officer who was carrying out the mission took off his gas mask. He stared at the deathly silent island with an ugly expression and asked the adjutant, "How many islands is this?"
"Golden Lion Shiki fell into the East China Sea in total 43 islands. We have burned 29 of them so far. Among them, 6 of the islands had already withered and died before we arrived." The adjutant added, "The news has been reported to the higher-ups."
"What did the higher-ups say?"
"Once you find the guy who manipulates plants, kill him at all costs!"
The short conversation came to an abrupt end. This order was pure bullshit. They hadn't even seen the shadow of the other party. The only thing they could track was a strange human-shaped silhouette in the middle of the island. It was made of moldy green moss. Under the empty eye sockets, a mouth was exaggeratedly opened from ear to ear, as if it was loudly mocking the incompetence of the Marines.
On the surface of the sea, on the deck of a rocking merchant ship, Lucai opened his eyes. His breath carried a strange fragrance. Wisps of green mist were rising from the pores on the surface of his body, giving him a strange illusion of charm.
His eyes were bright green, and his curly hair was like fluffy seaweed. A green root poked out of his ear hole, and he stuffed it back into his ear.
"The burden on my body has reached its limit in a short period of time. I need to digest it for a while. Otherwise, my body will be stuffed to death by these manic little guys!"
Lucai was very regretful that he couldn't visit the remaining islands. However, after enjoying a sumptuous feast in the East China Sea, the results were also remarkable. Lucai's level actually shot up like a rocket and crossed over to the beginner of the seventh order.
He was only one step away from the intermediate of the seventh order. If one analyzed the numbers on paper, Lucai's combat power had already jumped to the top of the apostles.
Fifth Apostle: Lucai
Title: Green Rust Envoy, Listener
Race: Human
Class: Beginner of the seventh order, can evolve
Mental Strength: 94
Nerve Conduction Rate: 89

Ability: Perception and Manipulation of Plants
Current Development: Top level! (Awakened)
He could freely control the growth and reproduction of plants within a certain range. As long as he could sense the smell of the plants in the air, he could control the area and absorb the characteristics of any plant he came into contact with.
Within the radius of perception, spores that could not be seen by the naked eye could spread through the pores. They could freely change the form of plants, and to a certain extent, change or integrate the characteristics of plants. This was a reversible two-way process. After injecting rust worms, the ability produced even more strange changes.
[Awakening: The body is in constant contact and exchange with the outside world, thus forming a domain that affects physical reality. Within a certain range, dead objects can be manipulated to become plants under the user's control.]
"Time to leave the East Sea!" Lucca was lying flat on the deck. The deck immediately melted into green moss and wrapped around him bit by bit. The entire ship was like a ghost ship that was sailing on its own. Under the sunlight, a faint green mist lingered in the air.
This green mist was poisonous mist that had already spread out from the plants on the island. Right now, it was all under Lucca's guidance. Most of it was compressed by Lucca and lingered in the air above the ship. The faint green spots floated silently in the air a hundred meters above the ground and followed the ghost ship towards the Inverted Mountain.
Lucca's changes were instantly transmitted to Yarlin's mind. The fifth apostle's numerical information appeared in his mind. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Devil fruit awakening, is it interfering with physical reality?"
He lowered his head and looked at his arm. It was like a loose spindle, loosening for a moment and then condensing into an arm again. Within his narrowed eyes, he seemed to be thinking and calculating something.
The black line was an extension of the mother nest's body, and the fruit that the mother nest swallowed was the slippery fruit. The reason was that the mother nest's main body did not need to increase its destructive power at all. It only needed a powerful life-saving ability in the weak initial stage. This was also the reason why the mother nest swallowed the slippery fruit.
Because from a certain perspective, a growing and powerful mother nest's existence was a terrifying interference and modification of physical reality.
Seed Breaking Stage – Mature Stage (Progress Bar 823485/1000000)
Absorption Distribution Points (13241)
Ability:
Shadow Mark (Second Stage High Density Pollution): The shadow of death that erodes everything. Once touched by the darkness, it will wither and continue to pollute until it is destroyed for eternity. (Requires the Heart of Poison and Ice Crystal to level up.)
[Malice Sense: A Crimson Malice Spider formed from malice resides in your eyes. It can evoke the deepest fear in a human's heart. After consuming the malice of a female ghost, it gains the ability to mark death and curse.] (The next level requires 100 points to absorb and three resentments that have not been destroyed.)
Razor: High-speed steps produce intense explosive force that can instantly break through the sound barrier. Passive tearing of the air will even cause visible cracks to appear and can take away a human's life. (Top Level)
[Finger Wheel Flash]: Concentrates all the power in your body into your fingers. The bullets that penetrate through the air are airtight and dazzling. It can instantly shatter a body of flesh and blood into pieces and explode into a bloody wheel of light. (Top Level)
Ironpot: Like iron or paper, can control every inch of the body's bones and muscles, changing according to your will. (Top Level)
Geppō (Geppō): Stepping on air is like stepping on the ground without any sluggishness. The air that is stepped on shatters like a mirror. (Top Level)
Rankyaku (Rankyaku): The muscles of the feet contract and stretch rapidly to create kinetic energy. Then quickly kick out, slashing out nine vacuum gaps in an instant. The terrifying vacuum collapse will cause the objects in contact to collapse towards the center and be crushed into pieces. (Top Level)
His own panel appeared in front of his eyes. Yarlin stared at the constantly increasing progress bar. The two wars in Alabasta and the East China Sea had provided Yarlin with a huge amount of progress and absorption points. Of course, the rapid growth was also due to the constant expansion of the Broodmother's hunting radius and the tireless search for food to grow.
"The progress bar has already gone through 4/5 of the distance, and there is only one last section left. The absorption points waiting to be distributed have unknowingly broken through the 10,000 mark …" Yarlin's gaze focused on a few skills, but unfortunately, there was no sign of upgrading behind any of them.
The prerequisite to upgrade Shadow Mark and Evil Thoughts needed to be met. Yarlin could not meet it for the time being, and the Marine's Rokushiki seemed to have been upgraded to Top Level.
Yarlin's personal strength had reached a bottleneck.
"It's time to get a Devil Fruit!" Yarlin muttered to himself.
