Chapter 414: The Mythical Beast Species I Picked Up for Free

...

new world

A huge whale was floating above a circular island shrouded in purple mist.

There were three figures standing above the whale's head.

"This should be the island, right? Captain Gur?"

Senior asked, pushing his sunglasses up on his nose.

"It has no magnetic field, is covered with poison gas, and is a circular island near the entrance to the new world. This must be it! Punk Hazard!"

Gel looked at the unresponsive recording pointer on his hand and a wise smile appeared on his face.

"Lab, fly higher, this mist is extremely poisonous!"

Captain Gear ordered.

Lab blinked and rose several dozen meters higher.

"Lao Mo, let the zombies go! Let them search for me in the laboratory. The target is a devil fruit that looks like an apple. We must find it today."

When Gel was talking to Dragon, he suddenly remembered that the reason why Big Head Vegapunk had the opportunity to sneak out at this time was because an accidental explosion occurred in the experimental base of Punk Hazard, causing a deadly poison gas leak that polluted the entire island. All scientific researchers were forced to evacuate Punk Hazard urgently.

Many experiments had to be forced to be suspended, and the Navy's scientific forces were busy looking for a new location to build a laboratory. This gave Big Head the opportunity to run out and meet with Dragon in private.

When it comes to Punk Hazard, Captain Gir immediately thought of the artificial mythical beast, the Fish-Fish Fruit, the pink dragon form.

The perfectionist Vegapunk thinks that a product with a different color is a failure, but the pragmatic Captain Gol doesn't mind. That's a mythical beast dragon. If he doesn't take such a good devil fruit, will he feed it to the dog?

"Hehehe! No problem, Boss Gel! Leave it to me!"

Moria opened his arms, and the black shadow beneath him began to grow larger and longer, pouring down to the ground like night falling.

"Come out!"

Following Moria's sharp voice and an order, pairs of scarlet eyes slowly opened in the dark shadows, twinkling as densely as stars in the sky.

But those terrible sounds, like the growling of wild beasts and the groaning of patients, really couldn't make people think of anything good.

"Da da da!"

Soon, thousands of zombie hordes crawled out of the shadows and marched towards the abandoned laboratory.

The steel door of the laboratory was printed with several triangular warning signs prohibiting entry, such as the Navy, the World Government, and a dangerous chemical experiment base. However, it was kicked open by two huge and uneducated zombies!

A tide of zombies is coming!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gel felt like he was at the scene of a zombie siege in the Resident Evil, and he felt a little nervous for some reason.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that these zombies were all friendly forces and I felt relieved.

...

After waiting for most of the day, Captain Gul began to get a little annoyed. With so many people, why haven’t they found it after searching for so long?

You have to know that this fruit has been lying there in plain sight for more than twenty years.

"what happened?"

Gel thought to himself that if you dare to play tricks on me, you won’t be able to find it unless Kozuki Momonosuke comes. I will definitely blow up the entire island for you. If I can’t get it, I will destroy it. If I can’t get it, no one else can get it either!

Perhaps the zombie heard Gel's thoughts, and soon a skinny zombie ran out with the devil fruit that Captain Gel had been waiting for for a long time!

"Hehehe! Found it! Boss Gel!"

Moriah said happily as he took the devil fruit from the zombie.

"Haha, that's right! That's it! But..."

Gel switched from his right hand to his left hand, then from his left hand to his right hand, and weighed the artificial devil fruit in his hand, somewhat puzzled as to why the system did not react at all.

"It has the shape of an apple, swirling branches, and concentric circles of spots. It's definitely this thing!"

It seems that this...artificial devil fruit cannot be recognized by the system!

Gel rubbed his chin and guessed.

The plan to repeatedly decompose the artificial devil fruit was stillborn.

"Haha, never mind. We've made a lot of money this time. Let's go!"

Anyway, he picked up a mythical beast species for free, so Gel smiled contentedly.

Xihai

Archaeological Island O'Hara

A little black-haired girl was walking on the beach in a depressed mood.

The girl was thin, walking barefoot on the soft sand, wearing an old liver-colored dress, and had a pair of sapphire eyes full of wisdom.

It was the young Nico Robin.

Robin's father died when she was young and her mother went on a sea expedition to study history, leaving the two-year-old Robin alone. She lived in her aunt's house like an outsider. In order not to be despised, she had to do all the housework diligently, but she still did not get any good response from her.

Because he accidentally ate a devil fruit, he has been bullied as a monster by the people around him and he doesn't even have a single friend. The only happiness in little Robin's life is to go to the library in the center of the island to read books and study history with the library manager Dr. Clover and other archaeologists. He has just become the youngest archaeologist in O'Hara with his own intelligence!

But just now, when Robin said that she wanted to help everyone uncover the truth about the blank hundred years of history, she was severely reprimanded by the Doctor and forbidden to enter the library again. Robin, who thought she had found the organization, became alone again. She cried sadly and came to this remote beach for a walk alone.

suddenly

Robin's eyes widened, looking in surprise at a huge figure on the beach ahead.

"Is this a giant?"

Robin hurried forward to curiously check on the injured giant.

"Are you OK!"

...

"Aww!"

When Sauro woke up, he made a ferocious expression towards the little girl in front of him, but seeing that the girl was not afraid at all, he closed his mouth in boredom.

"Water~ I want to drink water...!"

Sauro shouted twice and fell down again.

...

"Ah! I saved my life!"

After being rescued by Robin, Sauro sat in a valley by the sea to recover his strength.

"Girl, is there a town on this island?"

Robin nodded.

"That's not good. I'd rather be washed up on an uninhabited island!"

Sauro said to himself that he was being hunted by the navy, and if a battle broke out on the island there would be towns and innocent people could be harmed.

"Is this your first time seeing giants?"

He glanced at Robin who was staring at him curiously and asked.

“Let me make it clear first. Don’t confuse me with those barbarians in Elbaf! There are also gentle races among the giants.”

"Ok!"

"Although it's a little difficult, I still ask you to keep it a secret and not tell the adults about what happened to me."

"understood."

Little Robin said in a calm tone.

"You agreed so quickly, without any sincerity. It seems you will definitely tell others."

Sauro sighed.

"I won't tell."

"Stop lying to me. How can a child keep a secret?"

Sauro did not believe.
