Chapter 116: Esden Island
Meanwhile, on the Astraea family's island.
A long-haired boy was walking on the beach boredly.
He was Orochimaru who was ordered by his father to stay in the family.
Because the resurrection of One Piece shook the entire ocean, his father did not allow him to go out.
The other brothers and sisters can naturally go out.
Of course he had no complaints.
Just stay home.
Suddenly his eyes focused and he looked at the sea in the distance.
There was a ship sailing over very quickly.
The snake's pupils all stood up.
Is this an intruder?
I didn't expect to run into him again.
According to my father's orders, if the intruder is a pirate, he must be killed without mercy.
There are basically not many innocent pirates.
Most pirates have the blood of civilians on their hands, having burned, killed and looted.
There is nothing wrong with killing him.
The boat soon docked at the shore.
The people on top jumped off the boat directly.
He wore an orange cowboy hat.
Naked upper body, wearing a pair of black shorts.
There is a red bead necklace around the neck.
He observed the island with curiosity.
I had seen it from afar before. There were beautiful buildings on the island, and it should be inhabited by people.
So he wanted to ask these residents to give him some supplies.
He rushed all the way back to the East China Sea from the Grand Line to meet his real biological father Roger.
There are some things to ask him.
To return to the first half of the Great Line, we will naturally return to the East China Sea through the Calm Belt, which is the shortest distance.
If we were to pass through the Upside-Down Mountain like we did when we set out to sea, it would take a much longer journey.
While observing the island, he saw a boy with long hair who looked a bit like a snake.
He shouted very politely.
"I am a passer-by, can you give me some food and fresh water?"
Orochimaru looked at this person and found that he was just a passerby. So there was no need to kill him. It would be fine to just give him some food and fresh water.
"Okay, wait here, I'll go back and get it for you."
Having said that, he walked back.
Ace was very curious.
I was surprised that there were people living in such a place and building such beautiful houses, so I followed them.
Want to know the situation here.
People who can live on the islands in the doldrums are generally indigenous people.
But looking at the appearance of this young man, he is obviously not a native.
Orochimaru sensed that a passerby was following him and turned to look at him coldly.
"Stop, this island doesn't welcome outsiders."
Although he was kind enough to give some supplies, it did not mean that he could enter the family.
When Ace heard this, he immediately stopped and said with a bit of embarrassment.
"Ok."
He still respects the rules of this island very much.
Then he turned around and left.
Orochimaru also saw the pirate pattern behind him.
His face suddenly turned cold. This man was a pirate.
In that case, there would be no need to fetch him fresh water, and food.
It's time to follow my father's orders.
He didn't think he would encounter a pirate he shouldn't kill.
He concentrated his chakra, took a deep breath, and formed seals with his hands.
"Wind Escape Wind Blade."
He spit out an almost transparent wind blade directly from his mouth and rushed towards Ace at an extremely fast speed.
He just wanted to cut him in half.
Ace also sensed the attack, his face full of disbelief, and quickly transformed his body into elements.
The wind blade cut directly through his body.
The body immediately broke into two pieces, but the cut was burning with red flames.
Then it was gradually sewn together.
He turned around and looked at the boy in the distance with a bad face.
"Why attack me?"
At the same time, I was confused and puzzled. He was quite kind before and did not show any hostility.
Orochimaru stared at him with his snake-like eyes.
He is actually a rare user of nature abilities.
But he is not without a way to deal with it.
"You're a pirate, right? Then there's no problem attacking you."
He simply stretched out his arm.
"Latent Shadow Snake Hands."
Countless small snakes crawled out from his sleeves and bit the pirate.
Even if you don't bite it to death, you can poison it to death, and then you can just throw it into the sea to feed the fish.
When Ace heard his words, he was speechless. A person who hates pirates?
But he is not that kind of cruel pirate.
But he couldn't blame the other party. He himself hated those pirates who burned, killed and looted, such as the Beasts Pirates who occupied Wano Country.
The people there were living in misery, with countless people not even having enough food to eat, and were also harmed by the toxic sewage.
It’s just that his current strength is not enough to defeat Kaido, otherwise he would definitely rescue the people of that country.
Of course, he has made an agreement with a girl named Tama from Wano Country.
Kaido will definitely be defeated in the future.
Facing the group of snakes, he punched directly.
"fire punch."
The terrifying flames extended from the arms and turned into a pillar of fire that rushed towards the snakes.
The flames burned the snakes, instantly burning them to death.
After launching this attack, he did not launch another attack, but instead tried his best to explain.
"I'm Ace, captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"I will never cause trouble on your island."
Orochimaru was about to launch an attack but stopped immediately when he heard the name Ace.
He remembered, wasn't Ace the son of Pirate King Roger?
The Pirate King also begged his father on his knees, asking him to save his son if Ace was caught in the future.
He didn't expect his son to get here.
He stopped forming seals with his hands.
Originally, he wanted to use water escape to attack the opponent.
Although water jutsu is not his best ninjutsu, it is very effective against users of nature-type devil fruit abilities.
They are most afraid of sea water, and this is the seaside.
But that's not necessary now.
Even his father has promised Pirate King Roger, so there is no need for him to take action against his son.
Of course, he formed seals with his hands again and then pressed the ground hard.
"Psychicism."
A thick fog appeared, and a large coffin slowly emerged from the ground.
The one inside is naturally Roger, after returning to the sealed space.
Naturally, he made another coffin to hold Roger.
Of course, it is possible to not use a coffin, but this is a dead person after all.
This is a ritual that is indispensable.
Since he is Roger's son, let him meet his father.
