The gourmet among pirates

Is this what happened?

Looking at the gathering on the island, the islanders are a little careless even in their work.

A trace of doubt flashed in Mo Lin's eyes.

Ask if you don't understand.

Of course, Mo Lin did not intend to ask the island residents directly.

If you think about it with your toes, you will know that no matter how stupid the residents of the island are, they will not tell Mo Lin, a stranger, the really important secrets.

Fortunately.

Maureen didn't need them to speak.

Listen to the wind and listen quietly to the wind.

Molin walked along the path on Aska Island, walking aimlessly among the green mountains and green forests.

While listening to the various sounds coming from the wind.

Sifting through the information he wanted to know.

There is a large lake on Aska Island. The lake branches out into winding creeks, dividing the island into different shapes.

The stream flows slowly and is crystal clear.

The pebbles at the bottom of the river are as clean as washing, and beams of sunlight shine through the gaps between the leaves on both sides of the stream, making the stream sparkle.

There are many vibrant old trees and blooming flowers beside the creek, which cast vivid reflections on the surface of the creek.

Toes lightly.

The boots made of rhinoceros leather made ripples on the water, but Molin used his strength to jump to an ancient building in the middle of the lake.

This is a huge altar located in the middle of the lake.

And it seems that not long ago, someone was offering sacrifices and using this altar.

Because there are some sacrificial tributes and incense candles placed on the stone table under the altar.

"This seems to be the altar where the witches from Aska Island worship the saint in the legend!"

Standing on the altar, Mo Lin frowned slightly.

"Is it my imagination? Why do I always feel uncomfortable in this place?"

After walking around the altar and scanning the altar several times with his aura and sound waves, he walked back and forth.

Molin didn't find anything special about this ancient stone altar.

Ding Deng Deng.

The uncomfortable feeling in Mo Lin's heart, which flew directly into the air by stepping on the moon steps, not only did not weaken at all, but actually became more intense.

"What exactly is going on?"

Flying hundreds of meters into the air, Molin looked down at the entire Aska Island. When he looked at the entire Aska Island, he seemed to have discovered something.

One, two, three, four...seven.

There are seven altars in total, one for the first grade, three for the middle school, and three for the elementary school.

"Why are the placement of these seven altars so strange? Are they familiar to...?"

After thinking about it slowly.

Maureen discovered that the placement of the seven altars on Aska Island seemed somewhat similar to the seven-star formation diagram in a game he occasionally saw in his previous life.

"The Cursed Holy Sword... The Seven-Star Sword... The Seven-Star Formation? What is going on with this island?"

"And... the uncomfortable feeling I felt just now, is it the power of the legendary formation, or is it the difference caused by the operation of the biomagnetic field."

Mo Lin, who was originally attracted by the "Holy Sword" on the island, became interested after seeing Aska Island, which looked like a large formation below.

At this moment, Mo Lin, who was looking down from a high altitude, spotted a group of people riding a small boat, quickly drifting towards the altar in the middle of the lake.

Look at some of the sacrifices placed on the boat.

A flash of understanding flashed in Mo Lin's eyes.

Are you here to offer sacrifices?

Ok.

It seemed like I could just take a look at the magic of the sacrifices here.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin's divine realm flashed and quickly disappeared into the sky, hiding in a canopy next to the lake.

Maureen, who has watched the anime, knows very well that the witches on Aska Island are not the kind of magicians who pretend to be gods and ghosts to fool the villagers.

Passed down from generation to generation, they seem to have some kind of magical power in their bodies.

Can... connect heaven and earth? ? ?

·································

Although the central lake of Aska Island is not small, it cannot be called big.

Soon, an old witch who was dressed up but with wrinkles on her face took a little girl of eight or nine years old to the altar in the middle of the lake.

After getting on the altar.

The old witch did not let anyone else do it. Instead, she and the aura-filled little girl took matters into their own hands and respectfully placed the sacrifices on the stone table for worship.

After the sacrifices were placed, the little girl carefully took out three orbs that exuded a dense light from her arms and placed them on the altar.

In the center of the altar, there are exactly three shallow pits, which half-fix the round orb on the altar.

After doing all this, the old witch took half a step back and let the little girl stand in the position of the main priest.

Looking at the solemn-looking little girl in front of her, the old miko sighed.

"Maya, I am old and can no longer listen to the will of the gods. This sacrifice will get rid of you in everything."

Hearing this, the little girl turned her head and looked behind her, her big eyes flickering full of determination.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, Maya will definitely pray with all her heart and convey the difficulties faced by Aska Island to the Aska gods in the sky."

Hey.

If it hadn't been for an accident that year, Maya's mother died unexpectedly.

Nowadays, the responsibility of offering sacrifices to the gods does not have to rest on a little girl.

But she can't help it!

If she could, the old witch would rather do it by herself than burden Maya with the twelve-hour sacrificial ceremony, which took place under the scorching sun and cold moon.

Once the witches of their lineage become old and weak, their spiritual power will quickly dissipate.

She was already in her fifties, and the little spiritual power she had that had not dissipated was not enough to support her in completing the sacrifice.

On the contrary, Maya, who has been surrounded by spiritual power since birth and has powerful aura, is more likely to complete this important task than she is.

After sighing in my heart.

The old witch touched Maya's little hand lovingly, straightened her clothes and said, "Then, everything will be free of you. Don't worry, my mother-in-law will stand behind you and accompany you."

Maya's big eyes brightened a bit when she heard that her mother-in-law would be standing behind her to accompany her.

After all, she was just a little girl of eight or nine years old. Suddenly, the entire clan entrusted her with the responsibility of offering sacrifices and praying to the gods of Askar. How could Maya not be nervous?

Now that she heard that her mother-in-law would be with her, she suddenly relaxed a lot.

With the help of the old witch, Maya started a sacrificial dance in front of the three orbs.

·······

what.

As the ritual dance progressed, Molin hid in the canopy of trees by the lake and silently observed Maya with a domineering look.

Sure enough, a strange power was discovered in this girl's body.

This seems to be a completely different power from Haki. Although the three colors of Haki are different, they are all products of power derived from one's own body and spirit.

The power in Maya seems to be a way of leveraging external power through a trace of spiritual power in her own body.

In Molin's opinion, the power in Maya's body was not strong, and it seemed that any naval officer could easily defeat him.

but············

Through that kind of sacrifice, after the power inside Maya's body merged with the outside world, the power surrounding Maya quickly became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This seems to be a kind of power that has been mutated by mental power. It seems to be similar to Overlord Color Haki, but it is not as domineering and powerful as Overlord Color Haki.

It's...more gentle.

·······························································

Unknowingly, Maya had finished her ritual dance.

She crossed her hands and put them on her chest, bowed her head respectfully and knelt in front of the three orbs, and prayed silently.

As Maya prayed, the powerful spiritual energy surrounding Maya slowly gathered in a special way on the three orbs in front of her.

After absorbing Maya's power called prayer.

The three orbs surrounded by dense air gradually emitted a soft light, slowly floating up from the altar, floating above the altar in a mysterious posture.

········

Before the sacrifice began, a group of men in sacrificial attire rowed a boat back to the shore. After seeing the orb suspended on the altar.

They all got excited.

"The sacrifice was successful. I saw the jade levitating. This was a sign of the success of the sacrifice. I knew that little Maya would definitely succeed..."

A tall man couldn't help but cheered after seeing the orb suspended on the altar.

But before he could burst out laughing, several companions around him covered his mouth and pressed him to the ground.

At the same time, someone whispered a warning in his ear.

"Idiot, shut up. If you disturb the sacrifice, you will be the sinner of the entire clan."

"Everyone, please pay attention to me. This sacrifice will last for 12 hours. During this period, we must not disturb the sacrifice. If someone dares to cause trouble at this time and cause the sacrifice to fail, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't worry, we know."

"By the way, let the guards move. Don't let ordinary islanders get close to here and disturb the sacrifice."

"Leave the guard duty to me."

···············

interesting.

After feeling the three orbs and absorbing Maya's power through Maya's prayers.

After starting to send a special wave towards the sky.

Mo Lin's eyes flashed.

"This power seems to have... spread to the sky???"

"Strange, are there really so-called Askar gods above the starry sky? How is that possible?"

An ugly look flashed across Maureen's face.

As soon as the figure moved, it moved away from the lake without anyone noticing, then landed in a position that no one else could see, and soared into the sky.

Flying towards the sky, the source of power transmission.

Under the explosion.

Mo Lin flew higher and higher, and soon passed through the clouds of the White Sea, flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

However, when they arrived here, the fluctuations emitted by the orb suddenly disappeared into the void.

After wandering around in the void for a long time, Mo Lin still couldn't figure out where the disappearing fluctuations had gone.

"Could it be that the power was transferred here, and it couldn't be sustained, so it naturally dissipated? But it shouldn't be!"

··········

After studying this void for a long time, Mo Lin, who still didn't understand when it started to get dark, suddenly felt a huge red energy.

It was transmitted from the void where the orb's fluctuations disappeared, and fell towards Aska Island below at a terrifying speed.

"This power!!! Could it be that the so-called Askar gods really responded to the witch's prayers and sent down power????"

What the hell?

Isn’t it the world of pirates that I traveled through?

Why are all these ghostly things coming out to me?

wrong.

The legend of the Askar gods has been circulating in this world for thousands of years.

And the cursed holy sword "Seven Star Sword" over there is also real.

This is not the butterfly effect that appears because of his own appearance, but the inherent weirdness of this world.

After a while, Mo Lin, who felt a little pain in his head, shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's weird enough that something like a bug like Devil Fruit will appear in this world. Why am I so entangled? Besides, there are sky islanders in this world, descendants of these moon people. Who can Do you know if aliens with more advanced technology visited this world thousands of years ago and left something behind?"

·············

After thinking about this.

Mo Lin came directly to the night and the moon.

Returned to Aska Island.

what!

As soon as he landed on Aska Island, Molin looked up and saw a bloody full moon hanging high in the sky.

"I remember that the moon I saw just now on the Baibai Sea was of normal color, right? Why did the moon change color when I got close to Aska Island? Is this also the influence of the strange power just now?"

"No, I heard from the residents on the island that a few days ago, the blood moon could be seen on the island. At that time, the witches on Aska Island did not perform sacrifices and prayers."

"Haha, it seems that Aska Island, this small and peaceful island, has a lot of secrets hidden. It's interesting, it's really interesting."

"In this case, I wonder what surprises the 'Holy Sword', which has always played an important role in the rumors about Aska Island, will bring to me. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

········

The blood moon was in the sky, and the stars were dim.

Mo Lin kept walking through the jungle under the ominous bloody moonlight.

After traveling for a long time, Molin finally came to a strange stone building by the lake.

This stone building, which seems to have existed for thousands of years, is constantly devouring the power coming from the void.
