Pirate's Dark Fruit

Qiu Yu and the others walked on this intricate stone staircase for a long time. The strange thing was that it was not as dark as they imagined.

The surrounding stone walls are covered with moss. If you look carefully, it is this moss that is providing the blue light source!

Franky excitedly dug out some moss and put it in a Coke bottle.

The three of them continued to explore inside.

After a few minutes, as the three of them went deeper, their field of vision began to gradually expand.

Suddenly the blue light in front of me became brighter and brighter, as if I was back on the ground again.

There were no more stone stairs to go deeper, and the three of them reached the bottom.

This place is very open, at least more than a thousand square meters.

The amazing thing is that there is no light source here, but it is very bright. There are actually many trees growing here.

Bowness was slightly shocked, but immediately kept calm and said slowly: "On the Grand Line, any strange phenomena are not surprising."

Indeed, on this great route, there are even islands in the sky, and maybe even dragons.

Qiu Yu and the others decided to continue exploring towards the center of the bottom layer.

Passing through the nan trees, Qiu Yu found that the blue light in front of him became brighter, and he knew that he was looking in the right direction.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the center of the place.

What appeared in front of them was a giant bell-shaped sculpture, which was covered with moss. The difference is that this moss is larger and denser.

Qiu Yu always felt that this statue looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He reached out to touch the statue.

"呲hiss~"

"Here, this statue is hot! I said it's not cold here at all. It turns out that this thing is constantly providing heat." Qiu Yu said, blowing on his hot fingers.

"Huh? It's just a stone carving? How can it be hot? It can't be the moss that is providing heat." Franky said.

Bonis touched the statue gently and said, "No, it is the stone statue that is providing heat. The moss is just attached to the stone statue, absorbing the heat and growing."

The three of them were deep in thought, completely unaware that a pair of dark green ferocious eyes not far away was looking at them.

"Huh! Cut it open and you'll know, don't you?" Bowness said.

【Foaming Daisy Chop】!

呲!

All the stone statues shattered and fell off, accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust.

"Nani? This stone is just a shell, there is something inside!" Bonis said.

When the smoke dispersed, Frankie knelt down and looked at the gravel on the ground.

Qiu Yu looked at the inner layer of the statue, where there was still light.

"Holy shit! It's gold! This is a small golden bell!" Qiu Yu said in shock.

"Captain Qiu Yu! I understand, these things are emitting heat!" Franky picked up a few pieces of gravel, each with a shell-shaped thing embedded in it.

Qiu Yu's eyes lit up, "Which ones are Rebei and Yanbei! They are specialties of Kongdao!"

"That small clock! I remembered, the prototype is the huge golden clock in Sandora!"

Qiu Yu was greatly shocked. Frankie on the side had no idea what Qiu Yu was talking about, and Bonis was also confused.

"Uh-huh? What's Sky Island, what's Sandora?" Franky asked.

"When I was a pirate hunter, I heard rumors about Sky Island..." Bowness said thoughtfully.

"Yes, you know that big liar Nolando's book. In fact, what Nolando said is true, and..." Qiu Yu explained all the history of Kong Island to the two of them.

……

"Ah! So, Sky Island does exist!" Franky was shocked.

Bowness just calmly digested the large amount of information just now. Franky tried to move the small golden clock down again, but it did have some weight.

Bowness was pacing around, and he suddenly seemed to have discovered something.

He knelt down and found several stone tablets standing not far from the Golden Bell.

"Are these the tombs of Sky Islanders?" Bowness murmured.

He took two steps back.

Click!

He stepped on something crispy, and Bowness turned to look.

For a moment, what he saw in front of him made him feel horrified.

That's a piece of animal bone!

Bonis immediately ran towards Qiu Yu. "Qiu Yu! We are definitely not the only ones in this place! Something has been hunting the animals on the island, digesting them here, and finally excreting the bones out of the body!"

hiss!ha!

"Captain Qiu Yu, be careful!" Franky rushed over and threw Qiu Yu aside.

boom!boom!

Some kind of giant creature failed in its sneak attack and knocked down a row of trees on the side.

The three stood up and looked at the monster in front of them. When the monster turned to face them again, the three of them saw clearly what it was.

"Oooh! Giant python!!" Frankie screamed.

That's right, this is a giant blue-scaled python more than fifty meters long and three meters wide!

Qiu Yu recovered from the pressure, "This guy's size is not even one-tenth the size of the python on Sky Island?" Qiu Yu said.

The giant python stared at the three of them with a pair of dark green eyes. Its scales looked particularly terrifying under the surrounding blue light.

"Hmph! It's just a little python, let's see how many pieces I chop you into!" Bonis roared angrily.

"Mote dust..." Bowness was about to activate the fruit's ability.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa don't worry Bonis. We dont need to use any fruit abilities to deal with this guy. We will use pure physical skills to fight against it. Anyway, sooner or later I will face Baishou Kai who is dozens of times larger than it. Duo, just practice today!" Qiu Yu said.

"Hmph, what a troublesome captain." Bowness complained as he withdrew his fruit ability.

"Ah! Then let me try it first!" Franky said excitedly.

【shave】! [Double Strong Arms]!

Franky quickly approached behind the python, aimed at the back, and unleashed steel fists!

Boom!

"Huh!? The skin of this giant python is quite thick, so it can withstand a beating!" Franky exclaimed in surprise.

"Come again!" [Strong right hand]! [Flame in mouth]!

The giant python remained motionless.

"Huh? Even the flames I sprayed were useless?" Franky was shocked again.

Bones, who was on the side, saw through everything, and said: "Huh, idiot! That giant python obviously relies on the huge heat emitted by those shells to maintain its body temperature. What does your little flame mean? Your fists are nothing. Aim for the python's head or the weak spots like the seven inches, right? It's really stupid..."

Frankie was very frustrated after hearing this. He decided to launch an iron fist at the python's chin.

While he was still aiming, the giant python may have found this painless attack very annoying. With a flick of its tail, it swept down a large number of trees, and the giant tail quickly hit Franky with the broken wood.

Franky had no time to use Shaver to dodge, and was instantly swept away dozens of meters!

"Let me do it, Franky. You go back and notify the SEALs first, and ask them to come over and move the gold. Maybe we can eat wild game tonight!" Qiu Yu said excitedly.

Franky stood up and walked towards the entrance stone staircase...

The giant python seemed to feel that the two people in front of it did not take it seriously at all. Its dark green eyes stared at the two of them, and then let out a huge roar, revealing its countless sharp fangs!
