Chapter 493: Breaking through the fog and fighting the reef maze again

After leaving the ruins, Luffy and his companions continued to sail on the vast ocean. Their reputation gradually spread with each adventure, and more and more people knew about the heroic deeds of the Straw Hat Pirates, which also brought them more challenges and opportunities.

One day, the Thousand Sunny encountered a rare ocean current storm. The wind was howling, and the waves were hitting the ship like a giant beast. Franky tried his best to control the rudder, but the ship was still shaking violently. "Everyone hold on!" Luffy shouted loudly. He wrapped his rubber arms tightly around the mast and stared at the turbulent sea with a firm gaze. Zoro, Sanji and others also used their own skills to stabilize themselves and protect other partners. Ling Tian quickly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find the weak point of the storm.

After fighting the storm for a long time, they finally rushed out of the dangerous area, but the ship was also damaged. Fortunately, they found a seemingly peaceful island. This island has dense jungles and strange creatures, as well as some ancient architectural ruins.

When they boarded the island to repair the ship, they found a mysterious power hidden on the island. The creatures on the island seemed to be affected by this power and became extremely ferocious. Luffy and others were constantly attacked by these creatures while searching for repair materials.

"There seems to be something wrong with these guys." Nami dodged the attack and fought back with the weather stick. The new weapon invented by Usopp also came in handy, effectively repelling wave after wave of attackers. Chopper transformed to help his injured partner, Robin used the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit to contain the enemy, and Brook's Soul Sound could also interfere with the enemy's actions at critical moments.

As they explored the island, they discovered a mysterious temple. The temple was emitting a mysterious light, which seemed to be related to the abnormal behavior of the creatures on the island. Luffy led everyone into the temple without hesitation. The temple was filled with mysterious runes and ancient murals, telling a story about protection and curse.

It turns out that an ancient guardian had sealed an evil force on this island, but as time went by, the seal gradually loosened and the evil force began to affect the creatures on the island. "It seems we have to seal this force again." Ling Tian analyzed while looking at the mural.

So, they began to look for a way to reseal it according to the clues in the temple. This process is not easy. They need to solve a series of complex puzzles and face the test of the mysterious guardian who guards the temple. In this process, each partner has played his own unique ability, Luffy's bravery, Zoro's perseverance and calmness, Sanji's wisdom and flexibility... They cooperate with each other and gradually approach the key to the seal.

Finally, after going through many difficulties, they found a way to seal the evil force. Luffy and his companions worked together to launch a shocking force and successfully re-seal the evil force. With the evil force sealed, the creatures on the island returned to normal.

Luffy and his friends repaired the ship and set off again on an unknown journey with the gratitude and farewell of the island residents. This adventure made them understand the meaning of protection more deeply and deepened their bond.

On the following voyage, they met a mysterious old man who had an old logbook that recorded a route to the legendary "Dream Island". According to the legend, there was a magical fruit on the "Dream Island" that could fulfill any wish.

Luffy's eyes sparkled with excitement again: "We are going to the Dream Island!" Although his companions were skeptical about this legend, they were full of expectations when they saw Luffy's enthusiasm. So, they followed the guidance of the logbook and headed towards the "Dream Island".

On the way to the "Dream Island", the sea seemed to become more mysterious. Strange whirlpools would occasionally appear on the originally calm sea surface, and strange-shaped clouds would often appear in the sky, as if warning them of the dangers ahead.

Luffy stood at the bow, facing the sea breeze, his eyes full of expectation: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must reach the Dream Island!" His companions also responded one after another, their beliefs were like burning flames, illuminating the way forward in this vast ocean.

However, not long after, they encountered a foggy sea. The fog was so thick that it was like a substance, completely covering the Thousand Sunshine. Frankie turned on all the lighting equipment on the ship, but visibility was still extremely low. "Everyone be careful, this fog is not simple." Ling Tian said solemnly.

Suddenly, a series of eerie laughter came from the mist, making people shudder. Then, some vague figures appeared in the mist. These figures were like ghosts, extremely fast, and constantly attacked the ship. Zoro quickly drew his sword, and the sword light flashed in the mist, and he started a fierce battle with those ghostly figures: "Three Swords Style? One Hundred Eight Trouble Wind!" His attack was extremely fierce, but those figures were extremely flexible and always managed to dodge cleverly.

Sanji also joined the battle, and his kicking skills drew flaming tracks in the air: "Devil's Wind Kick? The finishing touch!" His attacks successfully hit some figures, but those figures turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared after being hit.

"What on earth are these guys?" Nami frowned and used the weather stick to create lightning, trying to disperse the fog and attack the enemy. Usopp took out his special smoke bomb and threw it around, hoping to see the enemy's appearance clearly: "Sure kill? Green Star Smoke Assault!"

While everyone was fighting, Robin used the power of the Hana-Hana no Mi to grow countless arms around the ship, trying to catch the attacking figures for research. Brook used the sound of the soul to interfere with the enemy's actions. His music echoed in the fog, bringing a certain effect to these mysterious attackers. Chopper also transformed into a huge form, guarding the key parts of the ship to prevent the enemy from breaking through the defense line.

Luffy kept attacking the approaching figures with his rubber fists. He found that these figures seemed to be made of some special energy: "Humph, no matter what you are, don't try to stop us!"

After a fierce battle, they gradually discovered that these ghostly figures moved regularly in the fog, as if they were following a certain formation. After careful observation, Ling Tian said, "Everyone, pay attention. Their movements have traces to follow. We have to break this formation!"

So, the companions began to attack in a targeted manner. They cooperated with each other and disrupted the rhythm of the actions of those figures. As the formation was broken, the fog gradually dissipated. But before they could catch their breath, a new crisis came.

A sea area appeared ahead, with countless huge reefs of various shapes floating on the sea. These reefs kept moving under the influence of the ocean current, forming a natural maze. Moreover, these reefs were covered with sharp thorns and mysterious runes, exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
