The gourmet among pirates

Maybe it's because of the distance.

It may also be that there is no one to tell the news.

This time.

There seemed to be a slight delay when Morin received the news that King Uranus's control room had been destroyed and that the World Government was temporarily unable to control Uranus.

This news came belatedly after Mo Lin had almost wiped out the flesh of the giant deep-sea turtle.

"Huh? Is King Ouranos out of control? No wonder we didn't see the World Government make persistent efforts to get rid of the Barrett Pirates or the Red Hair Pirates after the destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates. It turns out that Ouranos is out of control. Got it!"

"However, this seems to be a good thing for me!"

After wiping the grease from the corners of her mouth, Mo Lin thought with a smile.

The longer King Uranus is out of control, the more beneficial it is to Morin. It is best to wait until Morin breaks through the Juggernaut before the World Government has regained control of Uranus.

In that case, Mo Lin will have better choices whether he advances or retreats.

However, this possibility is not very promising.

·······

time flies.

Another day and night passed.

The news of the Barrett Pirates causing trouble in the holy land of Mariejoia was not waiting to come.

However, in the new world, another news came, which completely detonated the entire world.

"Elbaf", the hometown of giants located deep in the New World, was razed to the ground by Ouranos a few days ago.

A kingdom of giants whose comprehensive strength ranked firmly among the world's powerful nations perished.

Even the huge Elbaf was turned into a scorched earth of doomsday by Uranus's [Atomic Breath].

After wiping out the last meal of Neptune-like barbecue, Molin called Leviathan Yisi and planned to set off with him to the North Sea. After hearing the news, Molin asked in surprise.

"What's going on? Why did Uranus kill Elbaf? It couldn't be that those giant berserkers from Elbaf saw Ouranos seriously injured and then went crazy for the so-called glory of Elbaf. You want to slay the dragon!"

No wonder Maureen thinks so.

Decades ago, under the operation of the nuns, the World Government finally deceived some giants into serving in the World Government and the Navy.

The relationship between the World Government and the Giant Kingdom Elbaf is full of love and passion.

Even if it is for the fighting power of the giants in the system, the World Government will not take action against Elbaf.

What's more, Uranus's control room was destroyed, and even the World Government was unable to control it for the time being.

Under such circumstances, how could Ouranos take the initiative and destroy Elbaf?

Ok.

Apart from the berserker warriors of the giants taking the initiative to provoke Uranus, Molin could not think of any other reason for the time being.

Moreover, it is not surprising that those Elbaf warriors who valued glory even more than their lives came to seek the glory of slaying the dragon and had evil thoughts when they saw the seriously injured Ouranos.

"No?"

Robin shook his head solemnly: "The lifespan of the giants is several times that of humans. The elders among them may have even personally experienced the last awakening of Ouranos. With these giant elders here, they are crazy. That’s why he took the initiative to provoke Uranus.”

"That is how the matter?"

Ace, who was standing next to Mo Lin and was about to see his master off, asked with some confusion when he heard this.

"After receiving the news that Ouranos was out of control, sister Robin, didn't you say that after losing its controller, Ouranos returned to its wild state just like those beasts that were released and returned to nature? According to the habits of beasts, , it was seriously injured, shouldn't it find a place to recuperate? At this time, how could it attack Elbaf, or even turn the entire Elbaf into a wasteland? Elbaf is a new The world’s largest island, with such a large area, even if Ouranos turned it into a piece of scorched earth, it would take a lot of effort!”

"You are right. Under normal circumstances, in our thinking, Ouranos should find a place to lick his wounds at this time and wait for the injury to heal, or wait for the world government to come to the door and regain control of it, but Ouranos It's not an ordinary beast. Moreover, we have also forgotten a very important thing..." Robin said with a wry smile.

Ace blinked his eyes and scratched the back of his head in confusion: "What's going on?"

At this time, Mo Lin on the side seemed to have thought of something, and asked with an ugly face: "Are you eating?"

Robin was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Eating???"

Ace murmured in confusion?

What does this have to do with eating?

Could it be that the giant of Elbaf stole Uranus's food and then angered Uranus, so that he was retaliated by it?

Grabbing the food of such a huge ancient dragon.

Are the giant warriors of Elbaf so brave?

Seeing that Ace seemed a little confused, Robin sighed and then explained:

"Whether it is a human being or any other creature, once injured, if you want to heal the injury and recover, you need sufficient nutrients, and Ouranos is no exception. If you want to recover from your own injuries, Ouranos must eat a lot. Only in this way can we ensure that we have enough nutrients for it to recover.”

"If Ouranos is still under the control of the World Government at this time, of course there is no need for Ouranos to worry about this. The World Government that treats Ouranos as a treasure will send enough food to Uranos even if it is hungry. in the mouth of North for its restoration.”

"But at this time... Ouranos is out of control, and from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it wants to return to its lair and accept support from the World Government."

The desire for freedom is a biological instinct.

What's more, it's a proud dragon!

Even if Ouranos and the World Government are inextricably linked, after breaking away from the control of the World Government, Ouranos does not want to return to his old nest and accept the control of the Celestial Dragons again in a short time.

Ace heard this and nodded.

This is not difficult to understand. No one likes to be controlled like a puppet, and the same goes for dragons.

After seeing Ace nod in understanding, Robin suddenly said something meaningful.

"Since we are unwilling to accept the support of the World Government, with Uranus's terrifying system, where else can we satisfy its terrifying appetite on the sea?"

"Windless Belt!"

Subconsciously, Ace combined the information he had learned before and spit out the words "windless belt".

Just like big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps.

The overlords of the sea, Neptune, were originally the main source of food for King Uranus.

In this world, the place with the highest concentration of Neptune species may be the windless zone.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, the windless zone is like Uranus's fish pond, which is also the source of its food, but have you forgotten? The Neptune species are also intelligent. After Uranus woke up, he felt that Uranus Those sea kings with the breath of North began to run away from the windless zone and entered the deep sea or the large trench to avoid the killing of Uranus."

"Ah! I almost forgot about this!"

Ace slapped his head. He had just heard Robin talk about the escape of the Neptune group not long ago. If it hadn't been like this, his master Molin wouldn't have had to go to the North Sea to find the group that was said to be hiding in Levi. The Leviathan beast in the Tan family's lair.

Although he guessed the windless zone wrongly, but combined with the information that Elbaf was destroyed, Ace quickly said:

"I know, it must be that the sea area around Elbaf must have enough food for Uranus to recover. In order to snatch the food, Uranus destroyed the giant kingdom, Elbaf's! After all, Elbaf My husband’s group of giants are all big eaters. If Elbaf can feed so many giants, there must be plenty of food around him.”

Perhaps because he guessed the truth, Ace's eyes were bright and he looked unusually confident.

However, facing his confident look.

No one present, whether it was Maureen or Robin, made a sound. Leviathan Yisi glanced at Ace in surprise, as if he was surprised at his innocence.

Under the gaze of these three eyes, Ace quickly felt that something was wrong.

He frowned and asked, "Sister Robin, am I wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"

"Ace, you are so naive."

Before Robin could say anything, Maureen spoke, but his tone was a little complicated.

He seemed a little disappointed in Ace's innocence, but also seemed a little pleased with the innocence and kindness in Ace's heart that never changed his original intention.

“The reason Ouranos came to Elbaf was indeed to provide ample food, but its food was not the rich marine resources near Elbaf, but the huge giants of Elbaf. "

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

But the big fish themselves are often too lazy to eat those shrimps, because the shrimps...cannot fill their stomachs.

The same goes for Ouranos.

There are many places rich in resources in the sea.

Aren’t marine resources abundant in the windless zone?

If it was for some sea resources, would Ouranos have to go to Elbaf to grab the trump card from the giants?

Even if it is willing to rob it, the relatively rational giant elders in Elbafu will not fight Ouranos for a little marine resource.

How could the giants, who had to fight against hunger every winter, lose it in just a few days and fight Ouranos?

Apart from these, there is only one truth.

That is what Ouranos eats, not the fish near Elbafu, but the giant warriors of Elbafu.

Those tall Elbaf warriors may be just moving pieces of meat in the eyes of Ouranos!

Since no larger Neptune species could be found, in order to recover faster, Ouranos devouring Elbaf's giant seemed to be the most reasonable choice.

"Eat...eat...people???"

When Ace heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

This is a human being!

Why did Uranus say so much?

Although the giants are dozens or hundreds of times larger than normal humans, they are still members of the human race!

How could Ace accept cannibalism?

"Is it weird?" Robin asked: "Even among humans, there are often rumors that there are people on the sea who cannibalize people when they are out of ammunition and food. What's more, Uranus is not a human in the first place? In its eyes, what's the difference between humans and ordinary fish and shrimps?"

"In order to recover from his injuries, Ouranos used dragon breath to defeat the resistance of the giant warriors, and turned Elbaf into a human purgatory. Even the giants on the island were devoured by it. If not Some giant women hid some giant children in caves before they died. If they escaped, the extremely powerful giant kingdom might not even have the last trace of fire."

"Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Ouranos was full after devouring all the giants in Elbaf and looked down on the little meat of the giant children. Otherwise, those giant children might not be able to escape. .”

After a slight pause, Robin hesitated for a while, but finally did not say what she thought was another extremely cruel guess about Ouranos letting these giant children go.

Although Ouranos is still dominated by animal nature, it is undeniable that its wisdom is not low.

Who can be sure that these surviving giant children are not the flames deliberately left by Ouranos for the next meal?

Neptunes can sneak into the deep sea to avoid the hunting of Ouranos. These giants living on land can't hide in the sea too!

This was explained by Robin.

Ace suddenly realized it, but it was even more difficult to accept it.

When he thought of the scenes of Ouranos devouring the giants, Ace felt his stomach churn, and a nauseating feeling kept stirring in his stomach.

Seeing this, Maureen patted Ace on the shoulder.

He didn't go to comfort Ace.

This world is inherently cruel.

The fact that Ouranos devoured humans seemed a bit unacceptable to them, but to the beasts, it was a matter of course.

It is a law of nature that the weak eat the strong.

Even in normal times, incidents of wild beasts cannibalizing people occur one after another.

It's just that this time, Uranus devoured all the people in a country, which made Ace and the others feel particularly deeply.

"Although the newspaper of the World Economic News reported the news that Elbaf was destroyed by Uranus, it may have taken this into consideration and did not release the news about Uranus' cannibalism. This is still our decision. Only an informant in the World Economic News Agency learned about it.”

"But even if the news hadn't been revealed, after learning that Elbaf was destroyed by Ouranos, the giant warriors in the world government and navy..."
