Chapter 252
"No, Captain, the biggest difference is the people."
Shakky looked around and said with a grin.
All around, in the streets and alleys and in various shops, large numbers of people are engrossed in playing on their mobile phones, completely absorbed and seemingly absorbed in them.
Even the inhabitants of the Dunas Kingdom are captivated by this world, let alone ordinary people who have just arrived.
Luo said with a sigh.
The allure of this world for ordinary people living on the high seas is simply unimaginable.
It's no exaggeration to say that people can get everything they want in this world, and even Luo himself sometimes lingers there, reluctant to leave.
It's fortunate that the Night King strictly limited the time ordinary people could spend in this world; otherwise, I can't even imagine what kind of useless people they would become in the real world.
Just as I was marveling at this, a cold voice suddenly came from behind me.
Trafalgar Law, what are you still doing here?
Luo was taken aback, then suddenly turned around.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Penguin and his two companions fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
The newcomer had a pair of black wings and wheat-colored skin.
The woman named Luna said coldly, "The people the master sent to pick you up are almost here."
"Understood, Miss Luna."
Luo quickly responded earnestly.
I originally thought that World was the Night King's number two.
But it wasn't until later, when he met with the officials, that he realized this woman was the Night King's true right-hand woman.
On the contrary, almost no one paid attention to World. When the cadres met, he acted like a stray dog, and no one spoke to him at all.
Luo was somewhat confused about what was going on.
However, one thing that really excited Luo was that there was a man among the officers named Vinsmoke Judge.
This name was all too familiar to Luo, who grew up in North Blue!
The World Economy News Paper North Blue edition has been serializing a comic book story for years, "Sora, Warrior of the Sea," which tells the story of a naval warrior who can walk on the sea fighting against the evil Germa Kingdom.
This story is well-known among young people in North Blue.
The combat suits worn by the Vinsmoke Family in the comic book are definitely a fond childhood memory for young people in North Blue.
Before this, Luo Ke had never imagined that the Vinsmoke Family actually existed!
If Judge hadn't been so aloof, and if he hadn't been the villain in the story, Rojin would have wanted to go up and ask him for an autograph.
"I'll be right back."
Luo's attitude was very compliant.
There's no way to disobey.
Not only were none of them able to escape the Night King's control, but his subordinates themselves possessed terrifying power.
Soon, Luo and the others emerged from the dream and returned to the real world.
They woke up in a not-so-spacious control room.
In the dim light, the white-haired Wolf was humming a song as he gripped the joystick.
On one side, outside the round porthole, a school of fish swam by.
They were in a ship, a submarine capable of submerging beneath the surface of the sea.
It was Wolf who specially built that submarine for Luo, and it was even equipped with a sophisticated operating room for him.
Wolf never expected that he would also be on the ship.
Luo named the ship "Polar Tang".
Shortly after their encounter with the Night King, they set sail from Swallow Island and are now approaching the Calm Belt.
You're back so soon?
Hearing the noise, Wolf turned around with a smile, "Aren't you going to chat with your parents and sister a little longer?"
Luo's expression was somewhat awkward. "There's always time for that kind of thing."
After leaving his private world for the first time, he confidently told everyone that everything there was fake.
But afterwards, Luo couldn't help but travel to that world again and again.
"Luna said the people who are supposed to pick us up are coming."
Luo walked over to Wolf and peered through the thick glass at the seabed below. "Hopefully, it's strong enough. The Calm Belt awaits us ahead."
"The leaders of the militant faction are all monsters, aren't they?"
Penguin's tone was somewhat relaxed, "Even the Calm Belt is a piece of cake for them."
"I hope so."
Luo couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Are we going straight to the New World?
According to the original plan, the route should have started from the North Blue, proceeded to the first half of the Grand Line, and then to the New World.
His adventure was abruptly cut short before it even began, thanks to the Night King.
Suddenly, the Polar Tang shuddered violently, and the unprepared Luo and the others stumbled, with Bepo even crashing headfirst into the wall.
What happened?
Luo leaned against the platform welded to the ground. "Have we encountered an undercurrent?"
"It doesn't seem like it..."
Wolf was also somewhat surprised, gripping the control stick tightly. "It's not the New World; the currents aren't that chaotic yet."
"Um?"
Shakky, looking out the porthole, suddenly paused.
He thought he saw something flash past the window.
Boom!
Suddenly, the entire submarine began to shake violently.
"Hold on tight!"
Luo gripped the table tightly, exclaiming in surprise, "What on earth happened?!"
He was certain it wasn't an ocean current; how could it happen so suddenly, and on such a scale?
So what exactly happened?
"Captain!!"
Bepo suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, pointing to the porthole on one side, "Outside, outside!!"
Luo glanced over instinctively, and then he was stunned.
Outside the window, something enormous, its entirety obscured, was rapidly circling the Polar Tang.
However, Luo quickly got a clear look at what it was.
The enormous creature swam up to the front of the submarine, and its true appearance could be clearly seen through the glass in front.
It has a head like a camel, and a long body like a sea serpent.
His appearance wasn't particularly striking.
But it's too big.
Its length is probably over 500 meters, making the Polar Tang look like a basketball in comparison.
At this moment, this enormous creature was quietly watching everyone through the window.
"Sea Kings!!!"
Pekinshach screamed in unison.
Bepo simply tilted his head back and fell down, muttering, "If I play dead, I won't get eaten, right?"
Wolf's lips twitched. "Are you trying to trick this monster using the same methods you use against bears?"
"Etc!"
Luo's eyes widened.
Encountering a Sea Kings beneath the surface is terrifying enough, but what could be even more terrifying?
The answer is that there are two more ends.
Two more enormous creatures emerged from the deep sea on either side, and the three monsters completely surrounded the Polar Tang.
"Forehead--"
Penguin was sweating profusely. "Captain, are we doomed?"
"Captain, I'll follow you in my next life!"
Shakky swore aloud.
But after his initial panic, Luo discovered something extraordinary.
He stared, almost speechless, at the three monsters in the sea.
"Hey, can you guys feel it?"
Luo's voice was faint, almost a murmur, mainly because he himself could hardly believe his discovery. "Those three guys are the same as us."
"They also bear the mark left by the Night King!"
The group of people, who were initially horrified, were stunned for a moment, then looked up in disbelief.
"No way?"
Penguin couldn't help but swallow hard. "Is that so?"
Those who bear the Night King's mark can sense each other's identities. According to information that Law obtained from Dunas City, this feature was likely added recently.
Therefore, the group was able to clearly sense the identities of the three monsters.
They are the same as them.
"Could it be that they were sent here to pick us up?"
Shakky's teeth were chattering.
A storm raged within Luo's heart.
Can it even control Sea Kings?
And if they sent three Sea Kings just to pick them up, then the Night King must actually control far more Sea Kings than that, right?
