Chapter 375: Heading to the Misty Sea
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Inside that same magnificent golden palace.
"What…"
The Five Elders all revealed looks of shock.
Standing before them was Jida, who had escaped from Bawang's hands. However, his face was pale and his aura weak—it was clear he had suffered backlash.
"The Dragon Flame Pirate Crew already has King-level strength… and there are actually two King-level fighters? How is that possible…"
The blond Five Elder's eyes were filled with disbelief.
King-level strength already stood at the very peak of the seas.
It possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.
But even they had only reached King-level strength after long periods of accumulation. Yet the Dragon Flame Pirate Crew had been at sea for less than ten years and already possessed two fighters above King-level—how could they not be shocked?
"If that's really the case, then Rebecca is most likely doomed."
The sword-wielding Five Elder said coldly.
"The Dragon Flame Pirate Crew has far exceeded our control. I suggest we use our full power to eliminate them. If this matter alarms that lord, it will be difficult for us to explain ourselves."
"Mm, I agree."
"Then let's deploy the Annihilation Agency."
"Mm."
Another earth-shaking battle was about to erupt.
The entire New World became shrouded in dark clouds, as raindrops the size of glass beads began to fall.
…
On Ancestral Dragon Peak.
Inside the palace.
"I didn't expect that the little guy I casually picked up back then would possess such power."
Jiang Qize held the golden-furred little ape in his arms and said in surprise.
"This sea is becoming more and more complicated."
His gaze flickered.
More and more things were slipping beyond his control.
Even an ordinary little ape had gained the ability to evolve—so just who owned that laboratory base it came from?
An ordinary research facility couldn't possibly enable a small ape to evolve to King-level strength. And back then, the little ape had hatched from an egg.
Unless the ape wasn't a species from this sea—then it would make sense.
"Perhaps it can give me the answer."
Jiang Qize thought of a "person" who could provide him with answers.
"It's about time I made a trip there. I've already kept them waiting for several years."
He then held Xiao Xing and transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot.
…
After a full day of travel,
Jiang Qize left the New World and arrived at the Misty Sea near the Sabaody Archipelago in the first half of the Grand Line.
Yes—the one he thought could give him answers was the horned octopus.
Standing atop an elemental bird, he entered the Misty Sea.
Buzz, buzz~
Gurgle, gurgle~
Bubbles began rising from the surface of the sea, and the water started to boil.
Then, the seawater ahead of him slowly rose higher and higher, as if forming a towering tsunami.
"Ah… Captain, a tsunami is coming!"
"Run… turn the rudder, turn it!"
"Hurry!"
"Damn it, we're all going to die here…"
"Waaah~"
Within the Misty Sea, a pirate ship just happened to be sailing.
As the sea ahead began to churn, their ship started shaking violently and was gradually lifted upward.
Jiang Qize swept over them with his Observation Haki.
"Tch, there's actually someone who's eaten a Dinosaur Fruit." His eyes lit up.
Back when he needed money, he had sold some Dinosaur Fruits.
Now, he basically no longer sold them.
So encountering someone outside who had eaten a Dinosaur Fruit—what an incredibly rare chance.
