traveler among pirates

Chapter 4 The Secret Ruins at the Bottom of the Tree
"Captain. The captain is dead!"

"Run away!"

"That person is a devil!"

The pirates under Wilbson saw that Wilbson was dealt with so neatly by Hughes.

Shouting and fleeing towards the coast, for these pirates, there is no such noble sentiment as revenge for the boss.

They just want to go back to the ship at this moment, and then elect a new captain to continue the next voyage.

But they may not be able to go to sea again.

Of course, Hughes would not let the group of pirates go, he didn't want the group of pirates to come back after he left.

Yes, Hughes has decided to leave this country, although Hughes doesn't know how these pirates got here.

Even though Hughes doesn't like the king of this country and those ministers, after all, this is still his hometown, so it's a little bit more stable.

Hughes raised the broken and incomplete machete, and slashed in the air towards the pirates who were fleeing neatly towards the coast.

A huge crimson sword light instantly drowned all the pirates.

Hughes looked at the knife in his hand, because the knife just now was a dilapidated standard knife, and with a click, the blade completely shattered and fell to the ground.

"You still have to change to a better knife."

This is not the one just now, the light and slow slash.

The ground was cut with a huge crack, and all the pirates fell to the ground, and no one survived.

When the king ran out of the palace and came to the street to remind Hughes that there would be a pirate group coming outside soon, he saw a scene he had never seen in his life.

The street was split in half, and a group of pirates fell to the ground covered in blood.

Among them was the big pirate Wilbson who made him fearful.

Abroad looked at the scene in front of him in shock, then slumped on the ground and murmured in a low voice:
"What a monster!"

Hughes returned under the Sakura God Tree. In today's battle, Hughes wanted to simply test his strength.

He wanted to know whether his own strength could occupy a place in this sea of ​​countless strong men.

just
"It's too weak, 5600 million, and it can't even bear a blow from itself."

"And I didn't find any domineering, this place should still be in the first half of the great route."

Hughes was a little uncertain.

Hughes once went out to sea by himself in a boat, but he found it in the waters outside the Sakura Country.

There are several very strange ocean currents, and very dangerous ocean eddies, and Neptunes are not common.

If you don't know the correct route, it will be very difficult to come back once you leave.

Even if you know the route, if you make a mistake, there is a high possibility that it will be smashed and swallowed by those vortexes.

So Hughes planned to settle the matters on the island before going to sea, and Hughes was not very worried about those whirlpools.

Hughes doesn't plan to come back anymore, he has no nostalgia for this place.

It was only because there were still things to do that Hughes delayed until now before officially leaving.

Due to the special geographical location of Sakura Country, the residents of this island often live a self-sufficient life, and the country rarely communicates with the outside world.

In the same way, the Sakura Country has not joined the World Government's affiliated countries, because it is unnecessary.

There are basically no foreign ships entering this country.

Ships approaching this island were either blocked by those strange currents, or they were swallowed by those sea eddies.

It is impossible for pirates to approach this country at all.

Therefore, for today's pirates with bounties, Hughes will be surprised by this.

I thought it was some powerful pirate who could pass through that dangerous sea area.

Now that I think about it, they might just be lucky.

Even so, there will still be news birds coming to this country, which is why Hughes knows that this is the world of One Piece.

In the nearby sea area, there are quite a few small sea kings.

However, Hughes once stood at the top of the Sakura God Tree, and saw a huge black shadow flashing from the depths of the sea from a distance.

Soon, Sakura Country was hit by a big tsunami, but because the residents of this island didn't like living by the sea very much, the damage was not very serious.

"It's time to leave, staying here won't do me any good,

There is still a limit to a person's exercise, and the coercion there has no effect on him. "

With that said, Hughes looked at Sakura God.

"No, it should be that I am already strong enough to ignore it."

Thinking of this, Hughes jumped onto Sakura God with a few vertical leaps, and then began to climb and jump upwards.

As the air became cold and thin, Hughes finally reached the top of the Sakura tree.

At the top of the Sakura God tree, there is a sudden flat land.

Hughes pushed aside some branches at the top of Sakura God, and a dark passage appeared in the trunk.

Hughes jumped into this passage without hesitation.

This passage built in the trunk of the Sakura God tree does not extend straight down, but meanders downward.

Hughes could clearly feel that the direction of his slide was constantly changing.

This passage runs through the entire trunk of Sakura God and leads underground.

After sliding down for an unknown period of time, the spacious and dry wooden slide became wet, and there were mud and gravel.

Obviously, Hughes has left the trunk of Sakura God and came to the underground passage.

Suddenly, Hughes felt empty, and the originally dark environment instantly became brighter, and his vision became wider.

What caught his eyes was an extremely empty underground space, and the surrounding environment was not dark.

The top of this space is nearly 500 meters high from the ground.

In mid-air, Hughes could see an ancient ruin in the middle of this underground space.

One of the towering stone platforms stands abruptly in the center of the ruins.

Hughes slammed his hand into the rock wall behind him.

"呲-"

After Hughes slid down for a certain distance, the body that was falling at a high speed stopped, and finally pulled out his hand, and lightly fell to the ground.

After landing, Hughes walked towards the position of the ruins, and after entering the ruins, he walked straight to the position of the high platform.

The time of existence of this ruin is unknown, Hughes only knows that it should be quite old.

There are only those ancient stone houses in the ruins. Hughes picked up a stone brick and squeezed it lightly with his hand. The stone brick was easily broken, and then turned into dust and slipped from Hughes.

The high platform as a whole presents a trapezoidal shape, as high as [-] meters, and is built from pieces of red stone bricks.

On the square stone wall built into a high platform, there are many silhouettes of kneeling people.

The direction in which these villains bow down is the top of the platform, and there is a stone ladder leading directly to the top of the platform.

When Hughes entered here by mistake for the first time, this space was filled with a terrible sense of oppression, no, it still exists now.

Under that sense of oppression, Hughes felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and the closer he got to the stone platform, the stronger the oppression felt.

Before entering this ruins, Hughes has been exercising his body since he knew that this is the world of One Piece.

That's why when entering this underground world for the first time, you won't fall to your death.

It is also because of his strong physique that Hughes can still act under that kind of coercion.

Then, Hughes took this place as his new training place.

Now, this level of oppression will no longer have any impact on Hughes.

When Hughes explored the ruins, he accidentally discovered something interesting.

There are four cracked stone slabs on the four sides away from the stone platform.

When Hughes saw those slabs for the first time, he was at a loss. The words on them were all ancient scripts.

Then Hughes spent a while, comparing with the ancient books in the palace, and finally successfully translated all the ancient texts above.
