Chapter 523: The Guardian of the Wonderland Island Artifact and the Breakout from the Mysterious Pur

"Should we go in and take a look?" Luffy asked curiously.

Robin thought for a moment and responded, "This palace looks mysterious. It may contain many secrets. But we promised that woman not to approach it rashly."

Just as they were hesitating, the door of the palace slowly opened, and then an extremely powerful attraction surged out from the door. Luffy and others had no time to react and were sucked in involuntarily.

After entering the palace, they saw a large-scale maze. The walls of the maze were inlaid with various gems, which shone brightly and illuminated the interior of the maze as bright as day.

Traps and puzzles can be found everywhere. Some traps will suddenly spit out flames, while others are magic circles that can make people fall into illusions, and if you are not careful, you will be trapped. However, Luffy and his crew have cleverly solved these problems time and time again with their unique skills and extraordinary wisdom.

After successfully solving a puzzle, they accidentally discovered an ancient map. The map clearly marked a mysterious place, where it was said that there was a magical artifact hidden, and as long as you have it, you can make any wish come true. Luffy saw this and shouted excitedly: "Wow, a magical artifact that can make any wish come true! Then we must find it no matter what!" Then, everyone followed the instructions on the map, searched for the exit in the maze, and embarked on the journey to find the artifact.

After a difficult search, they finally found the exit of the maze, which led to a magnificent garden. The garden was full of various rare flowers, and the rich fragrance filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the center of the garden stood a giant fountain, the water gushing out of the fountain was colorful, and the legendary artifact was quietly placed in the fountain. But before they could get close to the artifact, a huge monster suddenly appeared.

This monster is shaped like a unicorn, covered with a layer of golden scales all over its body. Its eyes radiate a majestic and captivating light that makes people feel frightened just by looking at it.

"You greedy humans, how dare you try to get your hands on the divine weapon? You will all be wiped out by me!" The monster made a low and intimidating voice.

Luffy retorted fearlessly: "We are not doing this to satisfy our own selfish desires, but to protect the artifact. We must not let it fall into the wrong hands!"

However, the monster didn't believe Luffy at all. It waved its huge claws fiercely and rushed towards Luffy and others. Luffy quickly stretched out his rubber arms to dodge the attack. At the same time, he found the right time to fight back with his rubber fists, shouting, "Rubber? Machine gun!" His attacks fell on the monster like dense raindrops, but the monster's scales were extremely hard, and Luffy's attacks did not cause much damage to it.

Seeing this, Zoro, Sanji and others joined the battle without hesitation. In an instant, all kinds of gorgeous skills intertwined and shone in the garden, and a thrilling battle with the monster began. In the fierce confrontation, they keenly realized that the monster's tail was its weak point. As long as they concentrated on attacking its tail, they could cause the monster to suffer heavy damage.

So, Luffy and the others quickly adjusted their tactics and began to attack the monster's tail together. Nami quickly raised the weather stick and summoned a gust of wind, which blew up the sand and stones in the garden. For a while, the sand and stones were all over the sky, successfully blocking the monster's sight. Usopp quickly took out a special "tail attack bomb" and fired it at the monster's tail. The bomb exploded on the tail, causing the monster to roar in pain. Chopper immediately transformed into a special form and hit the monster's tail hard with his strong body. Robin used the ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit to instantly grow several arms around the monster's tail and pull the tail hard. Franky also activated the laser beam, aiming at the monster's tail to attack, and Brook played the sound of the soul to interfere with the monster's rhythm of action.

Under the concerted and fierce attack of everyone, the monster's tail suffered a heavy blow. Luffy saw the perfect opportunity and used his most powerful rubber attack: "Rubber? Great Ape King Spear? Broken Tail!" This punch was wrapped in a powerful force like a tidal wave, and hit the monster's tail accurately. The monster immediately let out a deafening scream, and then fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

They successfully obtained the artifact, but Luffy did not think of using it to fulfill his own wishes. Instead, he decided to seal the artifact to prevent it from being abused by people with ulterior motives.

After leaving the palace, they found the woman and explained the whole story in detail. The woman was deeply moved by their righteous act and not only gave Luffy and others some precious gifts, but also enthusiastically pointed out the direction for them to leave the island.

Luffy and his companions bid farewell to the girl and set sail on the vast ocean. They all knew that the future adventure would be full of countless unknowns and challenges, but they were not afraid at all. After all, they were the Straw Hat Pirates, a group of adventurers who had dreams and were always brave enough to move forward. They firmly believed that as long as everyone worked together, nothing could stop them from continuing to write their own legendary stories on the Grand Line.

As time went by, their ship sailed into a mysterious sea area. The water in this sea area was a strange purple color, and there were some fluorescent algae floating on the sea surface. From a distance, it looked like a dream, but it also revealed an indescribable weirdness.

When the ship entered this sea area, strange things happened. The speed of the ship gradually slowed down, as if an invisible pair of hands was dragging it, and the crew began to feel inexplicably sleepy and weak, and they had no energy at all.

"What's going on? There must be something strange in this sea area." Franky said with a frown as he carefully checked the condition of the ship.

At this moment, huge purple bubbles suddenly emerged from the sea. These bubbles spread rapidly and wrapped the ship tightly in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Luffy immediately stretched out his rubber arm and tried to break the bubble, but the bubble was so tough that he only left a few shallow marks on the surface of the bubble. Zoro then swung his sword at the bubble, but failed to break it either. The blade only splashed a little water when it came into contact with the bubble.

Everyone was in trouble for a while. At this critical moment, Chopper, with his solid medical knowledge, found that these bubbles seemed to have a special reaction to a certain drug. So he hurriedly prepared a special potion and carefully sprinkled it on the bubbles. Miraculously, after the bubbles came into contact with the potion, they began to slowly show signs of rupture, and the scope of the rupture became larger and larger.

Finally, they succeeded in getting rid of the bubble, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the calm sea suddenly rose into huge waves, and a huge purple sea beast suddenly jumped out of the sea. The body of this sea beast was as majestic as a mountain, and its body was covered with scales as hard as iron. Its eyes were like two bright lights, flashing a fierce and brutal light, which made people shudder.

"It's another powerful big guy, but we won't be cowards!" Luffy shouted at the top of his voice, then stretched out his rubber arms without hesitation, rushed towards the sea monster, and shouted: "Rubber? Bazooka!" His arm hit the sea monster's head like a cannonball. The sea monster was attacked, but just shook its head a few times. It seemed that it had not suffered any substantial damage, and still stared at them fiercely.

Seeing Luffy take the lead, Zoro, Sanji and others also used their own special skills to join the battle. The knife in Zoro's hand flashed, and quickly passed through the hard scales of the sea beast, instantly splashing a series of dazzling sparks. He shouted: "Three Swords Style? Tiger Hunting!" Sanji jumped high in the air and performed a fire kick in the air. His feet were wrapped in blazing flames and kicked the sea beast, causing the surface of the sea beast's body to be slightly charred. He shouted: "Devil Wind Kick? Mutton SHOT!"

Nami was not idle either. She raised the weather stick and muttered something. In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the sea beast. Usopp quickly took out a special "sea beast penetrating bomb" from his back and fired it at the sea beast. The bomb exploded on the sea beast, creating several small holes. Chopper transformed into a huge form again, gathered all his strength, and used his strong body to hit the sea beast hard. Robin used the ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit to quickly set up obstacles around the sea beast to limit its range of movement. Franky activated the laser beam and accurately attacked the sea beast's eyes. Brook played the sound of the soul to interfere with the sea beast's nerves, making its movements slow and chaotic.

During the fierce battle, they were surprised to find a relatively weak area in the belly of the sea beast through careful observation. Luffy seized this rare opportunity, stretched out his rubber arm, and launched himself to the belly of the sea beast. Then he used all his strength to punch the weak area fiercely, shouting: "Rubber? Great Ape King Spear? Armor Break!" This punch was so powerful that it deeply embedded in the belly of the sea beast. The sea beast immediately let out an extremely painful roar, and blood gushed out of the wound, dyeing the surrounding sea water red.
