Escape Successful

A giant floating island in the sky slowly descended into the ocean. The Tatsumaki standing on the island waved slightly, and with a rumbling sound, the soil and rocks on the seabed began to move, connecting with the floating Skypiea and firmly establishing its foundation.

With a curious look on her face, Tatsumaki, feeling the power of the Float-Float Fruit Tatsumaki her, was like a child holding a straight stick, seeing everything as cauliflower.

After getting a little familiar with her Devil Fruit ability, Tatsumaki then unleashed her Psychic Ability, covering almost 1/10 of the ocean area.

"Get up!"

With a shout, the seawater was lifted directly into the sky. Vegapunk looked up and saw the boundless seawater spreading across the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see, as if the sky had been turned upside down into an ocean!

As the Tatsumaki lifted the seawater, the dried-up seabed beneath the island was exposed. Because so much seawater was lifted, there was no seawater to fill the surrounding area in a short time, and for a moment this former sea became like land.

Lifting so much seawater into the sky, Tatsumaki could sense that this was still not her limit, especially after fusing with the Float-Float Fruit. After lifting this seawater into the sky, she didn't need to expend any more Psychic Power, and she could maintain this state indefinitely.

The current Tatsumaki can unleash hundreds of times more Psychic Power energy! If she wanted to, she could almost reshape the entire planet's terrain. The Float-Float Fruit's enhancement to her Psychic Power is practically exponential.

After briefly testing her abilities, Tatsumaki brought down the entire ocean. Logically, such a massive amount of water, almost one-tenth of the planet's total ocean volume, should have triggered a tsunami thousands of meters high, causing a natural disaster that would destroy the entire Pirate World's ecosystem.

However, under the control of the Tatsumaki, a massive amount of seawater, enough to destroy the world, easily merged into the sea without causing the slightest ripple.

Seeing this, Vegapunk nodded. Tatsumaki and the Float-Float Fruit a good match. She had adapted to the power of the Float-Float Fruit so quickly. With Tatsumaki's help, the relocation to the Pirate World would surely go very smoothly.

While Vegapunk was helping Tatsumaki obtain the Float-Float Fruit, a huge change was taking place in the ocean.

With the Flesh Hive Vegapunk left to Hody Jones continuously producing Monster Cells, at least half of the Fish-Man in Ryugu Castle have now chosen to use Monster Cells to transform into Fish-Men Mutants.

It can be said that Hody Jones did nothing, yet he already occupied most of Fish-Man Island and accomplished the task of ostensibly sidelining Neptune.

In addition, after Hody Jones managed to build a good relationship with Shirahoshi, he also began to promote the Monster Cells to the Sea Kings.

Compared to Fish-Man who care about their appearance, Sea Kings don't care at all about their appearance; they only care about the power that Monster Cells give them.

Moreover, compared to their original appearance, the Monster Cells might actually be considered a cosmetic benefit for them.

Furthermore, there is communication among the Sea Kings. As more and more Sea Kings absorb Monster Cells, Monster Cells are almost becoming the currency among the Sea Kings!

After all, compared to Fish-Man, Sea Kings can absorb far more Monster Cells than other creatures. Those giant Sea Kings could easily digest hundreds of thousands or even millions of Monster Cells.

Of course, the effect of the Monster Cells is greatest when you eat the first one, and the effect becomes less and less after you eat more.

Because of the limited number of Monster Cells, no Sea Kings can truly indulge in Monster Cells without restraint. Therefore, the Sea Kings currently do?

How many Monster Cells it can withstand is still a mystery.

Compared to Fish-Men Mutants, these Sea Kings Monsters can undoubtedly search a much larger area of the ocean. Although their searches are sometimes not as detailed as those of Fish-Man, the Demon Dragon that Imu transforms into is quite conspicuous, so there is no need to be as thorough.

At this moment, in the deep sea abyss, a Sea Kings that looks like a turtle but is covered in scales and has a dragon's head is leisurely swimming around.

"I wonder when our great master will find the monster he's looking for? If I do, he'll surely bestow upon me even more Monster Cells, and then I'll definitely become even stronger and more mighty!"

As the Sea Kings pondered this, it slowly searched the abyss. Its original appearance was not like this dragon turtle. It was only after eating the Monster Cells that it grew a dragon's head and scales, transforming into this divine beast.

Monster Cells aren't Cthulhu stuff, after all. While eating them might cause a huge change in appearance, they generally make one look more imposing and ferocious, and many Sea Kings are eager to have this kind of appearance.

This Sea Turtle- like Sea Kings was clearly in the same boat, but just as it was pondering, it suddenly sniffed and smelled a mixture of rot and blood.

"The smell is so strong! Where did this rotting sea creature come from? With such a pungent odor, could it be an Island Whale?"

The giant Dragon Turtle Sea King initially intended to leave, but after considering its mission, it decided to peek out and take a closer look.

Just as it peered over the rocky wall in the abyss, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared before it. The deepest part of the abyss was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, filled with the skeletons of all kinds of enormous sea beasts and Sea Kings.

The rotting flesh emitted a foul stench, and on the small hill of bones, a huge Black Dragon, several thousand meters long, was coiled up, fast asleep.

Even while sleeping, the Black Dragon remained extremely vigilant. Its neck was covered with the Dragon-Snake Heads, most of which had their eyes closed, but a dozen or Dragon-Snake Heads were still open, looking in all directions.

In addition, the Black Dragon's body is covered with countless eyes. When he sleeps, most of his eyes are closed, but there are still a few eyes that are alert in front, behind, left, and right.

Upon seeing the wandering Dragon Turtle Sea King, the black Giant Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of vigilance. Then, the entire Giant Dragon roared and came to its senses!

Oh no! The Dragon Turtle Sea King shrank its neck, immediately realizing the situation was bad. Sea Kings are relatively simple-minded, and usually the first thing they look at in a battle is the size of the other party.

The Dragon Turtle Sea King is already nearly a thousand meters long. Given the turtle's sturdy build, it is already considered a behemoth among Sea Kings. However, compared to the black Giant Dragon that is several thousand meters long, it is still worlds apart.

Moreover... although I don't really want to admit it, in the Pirate World, humans and demi-humans are undoubtedly among the most powerful races when they are of similar size.

I've only ever heard of tiny humans beating up giant Sea Kings; I've never heard of small Sea Kings defeating races like giants under the same size conditions.

As for Devil Fruit User, they are undoubtedly superior. After Kaido transforms into a blue dragon, its size is at most that of Sea Kings. As for its combat power, even hundreds of small Sea Kings like the Lord of the Coast wouldn't be enough for Kaido to breathe Dragon Flame.

Now that this Devil Fruit User is bigger than me, if we really fight, this dragon turtle will definitely be no match for him!

The Monster Cells not only enhanced the Sea Kings' fighting abilities but also Sea Kings intelligence.

Perhaps for humans who are naturally intelligent, the ability of Monster Cells to enhance intelligence is meaningless; on the contrary, their influence on personality may weaken the role of intelligence. However, for Sea Kings, the effect of enhancing intelligence is more obvious.

Otherwise, this dragon turtle wouldn't have thought so much. Generally, Sea Kings of its size have an intelligence level close to that of a ten-year-old child. Only super-giant Sea Kings that are several thousand meters long possess intelligence that is completely close to that of humans.

However, although the dragon turtle had already decided to retreat, the terrifying demonic Demon Dragon in front of it had no intention of letting it go. With a strange roar, the jet-black dragon claws instantly stretched out and slashed down directly at the dragon turtle's head.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the dragon turtle suddenly let out a roar like a bull, and the surrounding seawater quickly condensed on its head, forming a layer that was almost like a protective shield.

At the same time, the surrounding water flow suddenly became rapid, propelling the dragon turtle to retreat quickly.

It can be said that this Sea Kings dragon turtle is very lucky. It is an extremely rare type of Sea Kings that has Awakening superpowers after consuming Monster Cells, and the Awakening power is water manipulation, which is very useful in the ocean.

With a splash, the protective shield was as fragile as an egg under the Black Dragon's claws, only blocking it for less than 0.1 seconds. Fortunately, with the help of the water flow, the dragon turtle finally managed to retreat from the attack range of the dragon's claws, but was tumbled several times by the aftershocks of the water flow stirred up by the dragon's claws.

The Black Demon Dragon's eyes showed a hint of doubt, but it quickly turned into savagery. With a terrifying roar, the entire Black Dragon charged forward.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! This guy is so strong, I'm not going to escape today!"

Although this Dragon Turtle Sea King became much stronger after consuming the Monster Cells, it also Awakening a certain ability to control water flow, making the ocean its natural home ground. In particular, its escape speed is as fast as a jet turtle.

However, with such a huge difference in strength, no special ability is of any use. Unless this dragon turtle can Space Jump, even with the help of the ocean currents, it will be difficult to escape the Black Dragon's clutches.

However, at that moment, the sea roared and suddenly surged upwards, flying completely into the sky!

The bewildered Dragon Turtle Sea King, controlling the water flow, also flew into the sky, looking at the Black Dragon lying on the dry riverbed, completely unaware of what had happened.

In fact, many fish and sea monsters in the sea were also swept up by the seawater and flew into the sky. Only this Black Dragon remained on the entire dried-up seabed. When it sensed something strange, the Black Dragon broke free from the power that controlled the seawater. Other sea monsters Sea Kings did not have his ability.

This is precisely why only one Black Dragon remains on the seabed, making it all the more conspicuous.

The Black Dragon originally hid in the deep sea abyss, and was difficult to find because of the seawater. Now that the seawater has been swept up into the sky, the Black Dragon can be easily seen even in the abyss without the seawater obstructing its view.

Looking around, the Black Dragon's expression was quite wary. He glanced at the dragon turtle that had already sunk deep into the sea, snorted coldly, and had no intention of making another move.

The situation is unclear now; who knows why this seawater is surging into the sky? Even this Black Dragon doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Of course, another point is that the Black Dragon did not know that these Sea Kings were actually ordered to find him; otherwise, he certainly would not have let that Dragon Turtle Sea King go so easily.

The Dragon Turtle Sea King swam nervously in the sky and ocean for a moment, then the entire sky and ocean descended and silently merged back into the sea without causing any ripples.

As soon as it fell back into the ocean, the Dragon Turtle Sea King immediately turned and ran. Fortunately, in that up-and-down motion, it did not fall back into the abyss and finally escaped the Black Dragon's clutches.

After fleeing in a panic for half a day, when the Sea Kings surfaced and tried to catch its breath, it crashed into an iron ship with a loud bang.

Wow! What a huge turtle!

A cheerful voice rang out, and upon hearing it, the slightly dizzy dragon turtle immediately raised its head and saw a group of pirates on the ship.

The leader of the pirates, wearing a red vest and Straw Hat, looked at the dragon turtle with surprise, then shouted:

"Wow, its head looks like a dragon... it must taste delicious!"

The dragon turtle was instantly enraged. Having a dragon-like head had nothing to do with being delicious! Was this grinning brat an idiot? This turtle thought idiots were delicious too!

One minute later...

"Don't kill me! Spare me! Spare me!"

The dragon turtle kowtowed repeatedly, large tears streaming from its eyes. Even knowing that its opponent couldn't understand the language of Sea Kings, it still loudly begged for mercy.

"Hmm, this guy seems pretty smart..."

The Straw Hat standing on the dragon turtle's shell hesitated as he looked at the dragon turtle begging for mercy.

"This dragon turtle looks incredibly nutritious! The turtle soup made from it would be delicious!"

Sanji, with his golden curly eyebrows, exhaled a smoke ring and calmly said something.

"Please, Sanji! I want turtle soup!"

Luffy immediately changed.

The dragon turtle looked as if it had been struck by lightning, its eyes wide open. "Your sympathy is far too cheap! It's not even as good as a bowl of turtle soup!"

"Wait, you can't eat it! It's begging for mercy! This turtle just begged for mercy!"

Just then, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang in the dragon turtle's ears. A small, furry animal, resembling Raccoon Dog, shouted loudly to the people on the pirate ship.

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat was immediately terrified:

"This turtle begs for mercy? That's amazing!"
