The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

As the first member of the Straw Hat Pirates to set out, Usopp's journey is not smooth. At this moment, he is working with a stranger he just met to escape from the hunting of a super man-eating plant.

"Hercules, don't run so fast, wait for me, why am I so unlucky?"

Usopp was shouting at the man who was running for his life in front of him. The man was dressed in a rhinoceros beetle costume. Due to years of training on this island, running for a long time was not a problem for him, and his breathing frequency was even lower than that of a sniper.

"If I outrun you, the plants behind me will eat you and won't have time to care about me. Come on, Usopp," Hercules' legs began to speed up like crazy, trying to distance himself from Usopp, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

The sniper was depressed and crying. He could not imagine that the place he came to was so dangerous. The Boeing Islands under his feet were not dead, but a living island made up of huge plants.

Violent carnivorous plants can be seen everywhere here. Usopp was almost eaten by the man-eating sunflower behind him. Fortunately, Hercules arrived in time and pulled the human out of the mouthparts of the man-eating sunflower.

After Hercules killed a man-eating sunflower, a chain reaction occurred as expected. The swarm of man-eating sunflowers came like a tide, locking onto the two people's positions and surrounding them. Seeing that the situation was not right, they could only run away.

The man-eating sunflower behind Usopp was getting closer and closer. He was running slower and slower, without even a chance to catch his breath. His physical strength had reached its limit. If he had not been seriously injured before, he might have been able to run a little further.

"I'm not running anymore. I'm going to fight you to the death!" Usopp rummaged through his tool kit for a slingshot, ready to feed some gunpowder to the plants behind him.

"If you like to eat people, I'll let you eat explosions!" He pulled the slingshot and shot out gunpowder balls. Several gunpowder balls exploded in an instant when they came into contact with the plants. Although the explosion was not powerful enough to kill people, it could serve as a warning.

He underestimated these carnivorous plants. They were not afraid of fire. Instead, the smoke produced by the gunpowder balls aroused the ferocity of the plants. Their roots and vines stretched towards Usopp, intending to kill the prey in one go.

Usopp didn't expect that this group of plants would be so difficult to deal with. The roots of the man-eating plants crawled much faster than ordinary people. It only took a moment to tie up the sniper's thighs, drag the human on the ground, and prepare to send him into the giant mouth of the sunflower all at once.

He had not planned to give up. Usopp still wanted to become stronger and go back to marry the woman he loved. "Think of a way quickly. Carnivorous plants must have weaknesses." He rummaged through the props in the tool kit and threw the useless ones on the ground.

Soon, all the items in the bag were gone. Usopp's feet were close to the huge mouth of Sunflower. The row of creepy huge teeth showed his desire for animal flesh and blood. "Damn it..."

"I am Hercules, don't even think about eating people in front of me," Hercules came back, riding a flying insect, which looked like a rare black rhinoceros beetle.

Hercules manipulated his insect companion to knock down the carnivorous plant that was about to commit suicide, cut off the roots on Usopp's body, and took him on a rhinoceros beetle, increasing his altitude and flying into the depths of the jungle.

Usopp, who survived the disaster, lay on the insect and began to breathe heavily. He almost thought he was going to die. The Boeing Islands were too dangerous and were simply a restricted area for living people.

Hercules sat upright next to Usopp and explained: "I have lived here for many years. The recent changes in Boeing Islands make me unable to find the pattern. Even I have to be careful at all times. The plants growing here are becoming more and more violent. In other words, they are becoming more and more like humans."

The rhinoceros beetle companion brought the two humans back to Hercules' survival base, which was also a paradise for insects.

The huge insects growing on the Boeing Islands check and balance the carnivorous plants on the islands and together they maintain the ecological balance of the Boeing Islands. However, as the plants become stronger, the number of insects decreases sharply in a short period of time.

Hercules was deeply attached to the Boeing Islands. He had never thought of leaving here one day. The cruel reality told him that the living conditions of animals here were becoming increasingly harsh, and they were about to be eaten up and exterminated by the carnivorous plants.

After listening to the story, Usopp realized the seriousness of the matter. He guessed that perhaps it was the changes in the outside world that caused the Boeing Islands to be affected. For most people, it is not a good thing to spoil the images in the sky in advance.

"Hercules, have you tried to find the root cause? If you can't solve it alone, I can help you." Usopp may be timid, but he knows he cannot back down when he encounters real problems. He wants to become stronger by staying with Hercules.

As for the magical seeds and magical plants that appeared on the sky, Usopp had not discovered them because he had been on the island for too short a time. However, he guessed that only this magical Boeing Islands could give birth to those strange plants.

After the two men returned to the secret base (tree house), Hercules prepared a big meal for Usopp. The ingredients were all from the Boeing Islands. Although the appearance was horrible, the dishes tasted fine. On the contrary, each plant had a special sweetness. Can you believe that eating plants can supplement protein?

After eating and drinking, Hercules confronted Usopp directly. He wanted to go to the most important area of ​​the Boeing Islands, which he called the Green Hell.

The population of carnivorous plants in the Green Hell is even more exaggerated than the number on the outskirts of the island. Basically, they are in groups of hundreds of plants. It takes a little bit of luck to avoid being discovered by them. Of course, the help of insect friends is indispensable.

The day after tomorrow in the early morning, the insect friends will set out with the two humans. Before the sun comes out and the plant activity is the lowest, they will sneak into the Green Hell to find out what is happening there.

"Green Hell! Did you really name it right? Don't scare me, I'm timid." Usopp felt that the tree house under his feet was very safe. Taking risks deliberately might cost him his life, and it was unclear whether he would gain any benefits.

The risk and reward are not proportional. Usopp was hesitating in his heart, and being able to operate on the periphery was a good choice.

However, Hercules did not give Usopp the right to refuse. In the early morning of the next day, he put on his long nose and sat on the flying insect, taking advantage of the dew and the cover of night to go to the Green Hell to find out what was going on.

The Green Hell is surrounded by a green ocean, and is filled with the vitality of nature. As the only islander of the Boeing Islands, Hercules knows that the scene before him is abnormal. Nature displays too much vitality, which is beyond common sense and normal.

"Is there a human face over there, Hercules? There are actually living people in the Green Hell." Usopp, who has not awakened his Observation Haki but has very good eyesight, discovered a human face on the thick tree trunk in the distance before Hercules.

It was a pale middle-aged face, growing on a thick ancient tree, as if the tree was a part of the human body.

Near this area of ​​human-faced trees, Hercules could clearly see that the plants here grew better than in other places. Could it be that this tree was providing a continuous supply of vitality?

If you want to find out, you have to walk to the front of the human face tree. The sky is already slightly bright, and a ray of morning sunlight shines into the green hell. The carnivorous plants that have fallen into sleep are waking up one by one.
