Chapter 617: Unscientific, but Sagacious!
Chapter 617: Unscientific, but Sagacious!
Who are the true rulers of the vast ocean?
Countless pirates roam the seas, plundering and searching for treasures. They have become one of the mainstream professions, feasting on meat and drinking heartily. Or the Navy, backed by the World Government, which controls half of the ocean and selects elites from its ranks?
Or perhaps the Revolutionary Army, which opposes the Celestial Dragons and fights for the liberation of slaves, refusing to pay tribute to the Celestial Dragons?
Yes and no.
These represent humanity—giants, fish-men, and all are part of it.
But the ocean is not solely inhabited by humans.
The depths of the sea are a realm humans have never ventured into. Even fish-men yearn for land, and the Dragon Palace, located ten thousand meters deep, is considered the 'Land Under the Sea.'
The true rulers of the ocean, roaming freely and fearlessly, are the Hydrozoans, colossal in size and possessing remarkable intelligence!
These beings are the true sovereigns of the sea!
Now, these sovereigns have emerged, turning the ocean dark. Both the Navy and the pirates are trapped in the waters surrounding the islands, with no means of escape.
"This is unscientific!" exclaimed someone.
BIG Mom, who had also escaped to the Damnation Star, was intrigued by the ship. A twelve-year-old girl had built a vessel that could navigate the high seas, enduring any storm and maintaining stability—an impressive feat.
However, before she could finish her tour, she was startled by the vast number of Hydrozoans.
"Hydrozoans prefer to inhabit the calm belt, where the absence of wind means no weather disturbances. The sea there is the most tranquil and temperate, as Hydrozoans, being living creatures, naturally seek more comfortable environments."
"The waters around Aghored don't have as many Hydrozoans. They were cleared out long ago by modified sea beasts, and this area is a shallow sea, so it can't accommodate a large Hydrozoan population. Furthermore, the climate in the nearby seas is even more unpredictable, making it impossible for them to inhabit there in large numbers."
Even if some Hydrozoans accidentally ventured into these waters, their numbers wouldn't be significant. Now, with a Hydrozoan nest comparable to the calm belt, the situation is dire.
"It's something that transcends science! It's beyond what science can explain!" exclaimed Renee.
There's no point in pondering the reasons; it's better to focus on finding a solution to the current predicament.
If these Hydrozoans get too close, no matter how sturdy the ship is, it will inevitably end up destroyed, and everyone on board will perish.
Among them, only the high-ranking officers might survive and return, but such a return would be no different from a retreat.
As for fighting, no one fears the Hydrozoans, but with their sheer numbers, it's uncertain if they can hold out until their energy is depleted.
They don't seek a strategic victory; their intent is purely destructive, making it impossible to predict their actions based on common sense.
Regarding the Conqueror's Haki, Lily's eyes shone with a cerulean glow, and as she unleashed it, some Hydrozoans were indeed frightened. However, most of them became more aggressive, revealing their diverse and fish-like heads as they roared at Lily's black ship.
More of them were approaching rapidly.
"There's no other way," Lily said, turning to Renee.
Renee covered her eyes with the goggles on her forehead and gazed into the distance, shaking her head. "It's impossible. With this distance, even with jet propulsion, we'd end up right in the middle of the Hydrozoan swarm. As for the Moon Step..."
"It's not very feasible," Maria added.
"We can't be sure how long the Hydrozoans are, and they likely possess jumping abilities. If they leap out of the water and are attacked, they'll be more difficult to counter in the air than if they had a foothold."
With so many Hydrozoans surrounding them, no one dared to guarantee a safe passage through the blockade.
Among them, Sagel seemed to be the only one capable of flight.
"We have no choice," Renee said, shrugging. She aimed the suspended exoskeleton cannons, powered by infinite energy, at the Hydrozoans. "Let's take them on one by one, hahaha!"
"You..." BIG Mom said, puzzled. "Why aren't you worried? With so many Hydrozoans, we could be completely overwhelmed."
The Damnation Star wasn't the only ship docked along the coast; there was also an unusually large vessel.
(End of Chapter 617)
The giants were also present, and it seemed like the Straw Hat Pirates were mingling with them.
Were these giants reinforcements?
"Is this about the legend of the Sun God?" BIG Mom muttered to herself.
Even the giants were on high alert at this moment, each one on guard.
The only ones who seemed carefree, as if they were on a picnic, were the members of the Apocalypse Pirates.
Or perhaps it was the officers of the Apocalypse Pirates.
These guys were so relaxed, it was as if they were on an outing.
"There's nothing to worry about."
Hawkins put away his tarot cards, "I've already done the divination. Our success rate for this operation is as high as 99%, and the success rate for a complete, unscathed retreat is the same."
Ulchi nodded, "That's right. Although not engaging in battle when encountering enemies is not something to be proud of, with so many Hydrozoans, it's a fact that we can't handle them all. There are always matters that can't be resolved, but now is not the time for us to make a stand, after all..."
Whoosh!
Near the Damnation Star's waters, several Hydrozoans emerged, their gaping mouths capable of swallowing the Damnation Star. But just as they launched their attack, the sky flashed.
Boom!
Several thick bolts of lightning struck down, electrocuting the Hydrozoans and causing them to fall into the sea, splashing water.
Akin continued where Ulchi left off, speaking in a deep voice, "After all, we have Sagel."
Bang!
As he finished speaking, an object was thrown onto the deck.
The bear, completely motionless, now lay on the deck, devoid of any movement.
"This is really annoying."
Sagel, riding on dark clouds, approached the Damnation Star. He glanced at the battered Aghored, then scanned the ship, spotting BIG Mom and several of her clones. "Are there any more precious things worth studying? If not, let's go."
The others, upon seeing Sagel's arrival, all smiled.
No matter how many Hydrozoans there were, what did it matter?
They believed in Sagel, that he could lead them out unscathed.
With his strength, even a casual throw could get them out. Although surprised by the number of Hydrozoans, escaping was too easy.
"There's nothing left here. I've gotten the most important thing," BIG Mom thought to herself and said.
"Alright, as for the research institute, don't worry. The World Government can provide me with anything, and I can even give you a 1:1 replica of the same research institute within a day," Sagel said.
Building a research institute would be another infrastructure project.
Creating a quick, to-scale replica wouldn't be difficult. He had Strongal, and BigMom's construction team.
Most of them had abilities related to sweets, and the creations they made were excellent, some even harder than iron. If they could shape it at will, even if a temporary research institute was needed immediately, it could be used.
It was like when Caesar was taken away by BigMom, and she created a replica of his research institute with sweets.
"Oh! So that's the Apocalypse Pirates!"
Sagel's appearance caused a commotion on the other giant ship.
A giant over twenty meters tall, wearing a helmet, a long sword in hand, and a long beard, let out a very villainous laugh, "Kekekeke! I heard there's a junior in your pirate crew!"
A giant with an axe in his hand laughed heartily, "Gaba gaba gaba! Seems like the new Giant Soldier Pirates! We're not dead yet!"
"Hmm?"
Sagel turned to look, a hint of surprise on his face, "Not bad, giants? It's rare to find two of you in your race with such impressive auras."
"Kekekeke! Good eyes! I'm the Giant Soldier Pirates!"
"Gaba gaba gaba! I'm also the Giant Soldier Pirates!"
The two giants burst into laughter.
Sagel was taken aback, "The Blue and Red Ghosts?"
Did they come out of Little Garden?
Such haki strength...
So, how did Mr. 3 win back then?
