"Fish-Man Island... By the way, I've always had a question." Enel suddenly said, "Do you think those half-human, half-fish guys are humans or fish? They should belong to fish, right? If they belong to fish, can Mermaid eat them?"
After hearing Enel's question, Kaku was stunned for a moment, then he covered his forehead with a headache, and sighed, "Sure enough, ignorance is the original sin..."
Lin Mo did not participate in the conversation between Kaku and Enel. He looked up at the light on the sea getting farther and farther away from them. Everything was so real and illusory, giving him the illusion that he was dreaming.
Chapter 320 Departure: Heading towards the bottom of the sea
The sea around Sabaody is dotted with huge roots of the mangroves supporting Sabaody Archipelago.
Among these intricate roots, many different species of fish roam.
There were even a few fish bigger than Flying Ship swimming by.
Enel almost got into a fight with him because of what Kaku said.
"In the sea, you'd better be calm." Kaku saw that Enel was about to take action again after a disagreement, and immediately reminded, "Mr. Rayleigh had already told me when he was helping us with the coating. The film covering Flying Ship is similar to the bubbles of Sabaody's bubble cars, but it is stronger and tougher than those bubbles. The bubbles of the car are much stronger and can withstand high pressure in the sea. The bubble film can even be extended to a certain extent without breaking. If you apply more force, you can pass through the bubble without breaking the bubble film. However, if the bubble withstands too many attacks at one time, such as being bitten by a large sea monster or Sea Kings or hitting rocks and trenches, causing damage to the hull, the bubble film will basically break under these circumstances."
After a pause, Kaku continued, "So, we must pay attention to the large creatures and obstacles in the sea before arriving at Fish-Man Island. If the bubble wrap breaks, Captain may be able to escape from danger, but the two of us will be doomed."
"Huh, what are you afraid of?" Enel said arrogantly, "At worst, if we encounter those obstacles you mentioned, just blow them away."
Kaku smiled and shook his head, "To put it lightly, this is not Land. There are many uncertain factors in the sea. Besides, your ability is very special. If you use thunder and lightning in the sea, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Well... at worst, we don't need thunder." After saying that, Enel took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang and said proudly, "I still have Ruyi Jingu Bang. Whoever dares to stop us, I will crush them with a stick!"
"Hahaha, that's true." Kaku laughed, and turned to Lin Mo, who was still looking up at the sea that was getting farther and farther away. He hesitated for a moment, but walked towards him, and looked at the sea with him as the light became darker and darker. He smiled and said, "Captain, is it your first time to go to the sea in this way?"
Lin Mo responded lightly, "Yeah."
Looking back, Lin Mo pinched himself, but felt nothing, so he looked at Kaku and said, "Pinch me and try."
"Huh?" The smile on Kaku's face gradually froze, and he asked in surprise, "Captain, are you okay?"
Lin Mo said speechlessly, "It's okay..."
"Why did you suddenly think of asking me to pinch you..." Kaku said awkwardly, "I don't mean anything else, I just find it a bit weird. You usually don't let me and Enel get close to you."
Lin Mo:"..."
"Ahem." Kaku didn't want to take action at first, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "If Captain doesn't beat me up, I will take action..."
"Okay." Lin Mo nodded.
Kaku became more energetic, raised his hand and just approached Lin Mo's face, stopped again. "Captain, are you pinching the face or the arm?"
"As you wish."
"Ahem, you're not welcome." After saying that, Kaku pinched Lin Mo's face, but he didn't even try hard at first.
Lin Mo frowned slightly and said in an unhappy tone, "You haven't eaten?"
Kaku was stunned and understood what Lin Mo meant. He smiled helplessly and immediately increased the strength on his hand.
Enel was standing next to him, looking at Kaku and Lin Mo in confusion.
It wasn't until Lin Mo felt a slight sting on his face that he said, "Okay, that's all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaku immediately let go of his hand and retracted his hand.
If you can feel pain, that means this is not a dream.
Lin Mo didn't say anything more.
But Enel, after enduring it for a long time, finally broke his defense and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, I don't know, I thought you were blushing, or only half of your face was red. You let Long Nose pinch you, how awkward is it to only blush half of your face? Why don't you let me pinch the other half of your face!"
Lin Mo sneered, "You can try it."
Enel stepped forward with determination. As soon as he raised his hand, Lin Mo put his hand on Toyako's knife handle.
Seeing this, Enel silently retracted his hand, and said dissatisfied, "I won't do it anymore, right? Huh, what a double standard. You are too kind to Long Nose, why can't you be nice to me?"
"I'm not good to you?" Lin Mo said funny, "Then give me back Ruyi Jingu Bang."
Speaking of Ruyi Jingu Bang, Enel shrunk it without hesitation, put it on his ear, and stepped back with a smile, "Hasn't this stick already recognized its owner? Even if you want to go back, won't it automatically come back to me with just a thought?"
"Oh, then I'll kill you." Lin Mo said lightly, "If you die, Ruyi Jingu Bang will have no owner."
"Uh?" Enel was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said with a smile, "You won't kill me. If I die, who will drive the boat?"
Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "If you die, I will accept another Logia ability user on board."
Kaku also helped Lin Mo and said, "Why else do you think I made those Lightning-Absorbing Devices for? According to the lightning absorbed by my Lightning-Absorbing Devices, if used properly, this Flying Ship should be able to fly for another three to five years without any problem."
Enel:"..."
"Damn it!" Enel said in displeasure, "You two actually joined forces to bully and threaten me!"
Kaku waved his hand and said, "I am just a Small Boat craftsman, how dare I bully a great god like you?"
"Okay, I'll admit defeat to the head office..." Enel said helplessly, "I'm really convinced by you, forget it, who taught me Thunder God to be easy to talk to, I will forgive you this time."
Lin Mo:"..."
Kaku laughed and said, "Hahaha, then don't I and Captain really want to thank you for your forgiveness?"
"Hmph!" Enel snorted coldly, "Don't do this with me, just try to trick me. Is that interesting?"
"Yes, of course." Kaku laughed and said, "Looking at how deflated you are, I am very happy."
"You!"
Just when Enel was furious, a sea monster bigger than Flying Ship swam quietly from the darkness in the distance. When the sea monster got close to Flying Ship, it suddenly opened its huge mouth and tried to swallow Flying Ship in one gulp.
At the same time, Enel called out Ruyi Jingu Bang, directly making Ruyi Jingu Bang stronger quickly. In just a few seconds, Ruyi Jingu Bang poked one end of the bubble and penetrated the bubble with a 'pop', directly into the mouth of the sea beast, just like a barbecue skewer, instantly piercing the sea beast from head to tail.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang's diameter should remain this way, don't make it bigger." Kaku reminded, "Otherwise the bubble will burst and we'll both be done playing."
Enel said impatiently, "I know!"
After he finished speaking, he took Ruyi Jingu Bang back, and the huge sea beast rolled its eyes white, turned its belly to the sky, and slowly floated upwards.
"Tsk, it's really rubbish." Enel also complained, "This fish is only big in size, but its fighting ability is scum."
Flying Ship Continue to dive down.
Along the way, we encountered several sea beasts that tried to bite Flying Ship, but Enel used Ruyi Jingu Bang to deal with them.
When Flying Ship dived to a certain depth, suddenly, the hull shook violently twice due to a strong Ocean Current.
Then, a large Ocean Current that went vertically downward and resembled a waterfall appeared in front of the Lin Mo trio.
"Uh? What is this?" Enel stared at the incredible 'waterfall' in front of him in amazement and asked in surprise.
As soon as he finished asking, a huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from the middle of the waterfall Ocean Current, and quickly rolled towards Flying Ship.
Enel reacted very quickly and used Ruyi Jingu Bang to hit the tentacle. However, the reaction of the tentacle was amazing. He actually dodged Enel's attacks several times and saw that the tentacle was about to wrap up Flying Ship came up, and Kaku immediately took out a tool that could create small bubbles, and said, "Although I don't know what this is, since we can't hit it from a long distance, let's go out and hit it!"
"Uh? Go out and fight?" Enel looked like you were sick and said in confusion, "Are you crazy? We are capable people and we will lose our strength when we touch the sea water."
Kaku raised his lips slightly and said nonchalantly, "As long as we don't touch the sea water, that's all. We can use air bubbles to get out. If you're afraid, just stay on Flying Ship and leave this big thing to me."
As he said that, Kaku held his Demon Spirit Short Sword in his hand, glanced at Lin Mo, saw Lin Mo nodded, and started to use the tool to create a bubble, just like Sabaody's bubble car. Just like the bubbles on it, Kaku got in easily, then tied a rope around his waist, handed the other end of the rope to Enel, and said, "Although it is unlikely, if something unexpected happens, please pull me back."
Chapter 321 Departure: The threat of Lin Mo
The super-large sea monster that appears around this waterfall-shaped Ocean Current is a giant Giant Octopus named Kraken. It is a legendary sea monster and is known as a "demon that kills without hesitation and swims swiftly across the ocean with its sights on ships."
Kraken generally operates in deep sea areas and likes to attack ships that dive into the deep sea.
Therefore, for those who try to go to Fish-Man Island, the survival rate of actually successfully reaching their destination is less than 1 in 10.
It is impossible for Kraken to wait in the same place all the time. Therefore, of the nine out of ten chances that the ship will be destroyed on the way to Fish-Man Island, only one-third at most is due to Kraken. As for the remaining two-thirds, it will be caused by other large sea beasts hiding in the darkness in deeper and darker seas, or by natural disasters such as submarine volcanoes and other coincidental factors.
Kaku tightened the rope tied to his body again, and after making sure that it would not loosen easily, he immediately jumped onto the guardrail of Flying Ship, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, calmly faced the huge tentacles of Kraken, and jumped out of the bubble without hesitation.
Enel grabbed the other end of the rope that Kaku had forced into his hand, frowned slightly and asked, "Is that guy Long Nose really okay? What if his bubble ball bursts?"
"This bubble is not so easy to burst." Lin Mo said calmly, "Even if it does burst, isn't there still a rope? Just pull him back."
Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, Kaku had already got out of the big bubble covering Flying Ship.
His body was wrapped in a small bubble. After all, he was in the sea and was affected by the waterfall-shaped Ocean Current flowing vertically and rapidly next to him. Kaku was actually not swimming very fast.
When Kraken's tentacles appeared directly above Flying Ship, Enel immediately controlled Flying Ship to move to the side.
And Kaku appeared under this tentacle, evolving the second section of Demon Spirit Dagger in his hand into two knives, with a flash of light in his eyes, holding the handle of Demon Spirit Dual Blades tightly with both hands, pointing the blade downward, and crossing his hands. The moment Kraken's tentacle smashed down, at lightning speed, with a 'swish', Kraken's tentacle was cut off by a Sword Aura formed by the intersection of red and blue beams of light.
If it were a normal slash, it would only break off one tentacle.
But it's different when it's cut off at Demon Spirit.
Kraken A black mist wrapped around the incision of the severed tentacle, which looked like it was devouring his body.
Since it was already far away from the sea and the visibility in the sea was very low, the black air on the incision was almost covered by the surrounding darkness. Even the nearest Kaku almost didn't notice it.
"What is this?" Kaku squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the gradually disappearing black gas on the cut of Kraken's severed tentacle.
At this time, Kraken suddenly went crazy, and his entire huge body swam out of the darkness at once. He twisted all his tentacles angrily, and like a machine gun, they fiercely and densely hit Kaku.
Kaku reflexively stepped on Geppo and tried to get out of the way of this intensive attack.
However, something beyond his expectation happened. Geppo's speed in the sea at this depth was only a little slower than that of Land. The bubble covering him could not keep up with his speed. Kaku ran out of the bubble at once...
Then, because he was an esper, he lost his powers in an instant, and even the two Demon Spirit Daggers in his hands broke away from his hands at the same time. They just showed two red and blue lights and sank directly to the dark seabed Abyss.
"This guy is really useless..." Enel saw that Kaku was drowning, and immediately pulled the rope back, quickly pulling him back.
Lin Mo first glanced at Kaku, who had been pulled into the bubble covering Flying Ship by Enel. Then his eyes turned to Demon Spirit, who was still sinking to the bottom of the sea. He asked the system from the bottom of his heart: Can Demon Spirit be taken back to System Space?
'Didi! It's okay.'
After getting the answer from the system, Lin Mo thought in his mind, and the sinking Demon Spirit disappeared with a 'pop'.
Flying Ship on.
The moment Kaku was pulled back to Flying Ship, Kraken had already focused its attention on Flying Ship again like crazy, and swam towards Flying Ship quickly and menacingly.
Lin Mo just put his hand on Toyako, Enel suddenly said, "This guy doesn't need you to take action, I will do it."
Saying that, Enel lengthened Ruyi Jingu Bang again, and the diameter also increased to about one meter.
Although it can get bigger, considering that the bubble may not be able to bear it, Enel didn't dare to make it too big.
But even so, Ruyi Jingu Bang still couldn't hit Kraken.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang is spiritual." Lin Mo suddenly said, "Don't you already know that even if you don't hold it, it will act according to your will?"
Hearing this, Enel was excited and suddenly realized Satori. I had a headache at first, but now I feel relieved.
Enel raised his mouth slightly and let go of his hand directly. Under his control, Ruyi Jingu Bang flew out of the bubble cover and instantly turned into a large stick hundreds of meters long, dozens of meters in diameter and weighing tens of thousands of kilograms in the sea. It was a horizontal sweep, and Kraken had no time to run. Ruyi Jingu Bang hit the waterfall-shaped Ocean Current that was flowing downwards at high speed, and was instantly rushed down by Ocean Current.
"Ah hahaha, this Thunder God's weapon is really powerful." Enel laughed, and with a thought, Ruyi Jingu Bang returned to its original length, and with a 'swish', it penetrated the bubble cover and came back.
Kaku has calmed down a lot now. He climbed up from Deck in embarrassment, looking a little lonely. "Captain, I'm sorry... I lost the knife you gave me. No matter how you punish me, I won't complain."
Lin Mo and Enel glanced back at him at the same time.
Enel said disdainfully, "I told you a long time ago that you can't do it, but you don't believe it. It's really useless."
Kaku remained silent and did not speak.
Enel cut it in displeasure, and with a 'swish', in the blink of an eye, he took out a towel and threw it directly on Kaku's head. "What's your expression? It's just a knife. Anyway, we are going to the bottom of the sea. Maybe we can pick it up. Even if we can't, Captain is so partial to you, I won't blame you."
As soon as Enel finished saying this, Lin Mo suddenly took out Demon Spirit Dagger and threw it towards Kaku without saying a word.
Kaku caught it with his conditioned reflex. When he saw that the knife in his hand was the one he thought he had lost, he was shocked.
"Ship, Captain, this..." Kaku looked at Lin Mo in surprise.
Lin Mo said indifferently, "Just this once, if you throw it away next time, you won't want this knife anymore."
Chapter 322 Fish-Man Island: Prepare to log in
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Enel couldn't hold it back and asked, "Didn't Long Nose's knife sink to the bottom of the sea? Why do you still have one? Is this knife wholesale?"
Although Kaku also had doubts in his heart, and the one Lin Mo threw over now, he tried waving it a few times, and the feel was exactly the same as the one he accidentally lost just now...
But he did something wrong first. Kaku didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately put away Demon Spirit, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I promise that I will never lose Demon Spirit a second time!"
"Yeah." Lin Mo responded casually, and then continued, "Keep going."
Enel said dissatisfied, "You haven't answered my question yet..."
