Chapter 44: Missing Sauron

"Aaron!"

Zoro was blown away by the school of fish. He felt himself hit a very hard wall. When he looked up and saw what it was, his face turned pale with fright.

"Hey. Isn't this the pirate hunter, Nonoroa Zoro, who threatened to take my head? How come he looks so miserable after a while?" Aaron looked at Zoro hanging on his chest and laughed wildly.

"Bastard!" Zoro struggled to resist the water pressure, trying to get away from Aaron and fight back.

The water pressure created by the impact of the school of fish is very strong. Ordinary humans who fall into the water cannot resist this pressure at all.

"Brother. Stop playing."

Just when Zoro thought he was going to meet Kuina here, a calm and majestic voice sounded from the deep sea.

"Charlie. Wait a minute." Aaron grinned, grabbing Zoro with one hand and whistling at the school of fish with the other.

After that, Sauron saw a scene he would never forget. The fish that had been rushing around randomly suddenly lined up in an orderly manner. They lined up obediently and followed Aaron towards the bottom of the sea.

"Pfft~"

The sound of a bubble came from the bottom of the sea. The bubble wrapped around Zoro very accurately, and there was a lot of air in the bubble.

"I'm alive." Zoro breathed in the fresh air and felt that his life had reached its peak.

But his happiness lasted less than three seconds, and the next second he turned bitter. It turned out that his three knives were knocked away by the mermaid and fell into A-Long's hands.

"Hahaha." Looking at Zoro's unhappy expression, Aaron laughed.

"Give me back the knife!" Zoro growled at Aaron, his fists clenched, looking ready to fight.

"Be quiet. If you want to die in the belly of a fish and lose the chance to meet a blue-haired girl, I can help you." Shirley appeared next to the bubble. She glanced at Zoro sideways. Her tone was calm and sexy, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

Blue-haired girl! Zoro's childhood friend Kuina suddenly appeared in his mind.

Zoro's will to resist dissipated a lot. He wanted to know who made the statement, so he turned around and looked at Shirley.

"It's so big!" Zoro exclaimed in shock.

Xia Li, Aaron's sister, is 520cm long, a great blue shark mermaid, a prophet of Fishman Island, and possesses divination skills that allow her to predict things with % accuracy. As long as she predicts something, it will happen % of the time.

Aaron, body length 263cm, sawtooth shark man.

Xia Li, the younger sister who is nearly twice as tall as her brother, has a very strong impact in front of Zoro, who has never left the East China Sea.

Zoro was so frightened that he crashed directly into the bubble wall and almost fell into the sea again.

"Haha." Aaron seemed very happy about Sauron's loss of composure.

Unlike Aaron who just laughed foolishly, Xia Li glared at Zoro with a little displeasure, then calmed down, looked at the school of fish, and asked Aaron: "Brother, what kind of fish are these? I have never seen them before."

"Xia Li. These are freshwater fish. They can't survive in the sea." Aaron explained calmly, touching his stomach with one hand, wanting to have a big meal.

After getting the explanation, Xia Li understood why Aaron asked him to prepare a large amount of bubbles.

"Freshwater fish. They're really worth knowing about." Shirley glanced at the school of fish in the bubble, then pushed Zoro's bubble and swam towards the sea.

"Hey. Where are you taking me?" Zoro asked loudly as he watched the sea surface getting brighter and brighter.

"Pirate hunter. You are my prisoner. Where are you going? Do I need to ask? Of course it's my territory!" Aaron laughed and followed behind Xia Li.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay ahead of his sister, it’s that he really can’t swim as fast as his sister.

"No! Luffy and the others are still here," Zoro was about to struggle, grab the three swords and return to the surface of the sea.

But Xia Li just glanced at Zoro briefly, and Zoro instantly became as obedient as a grandson, sitting cross-legged in the bubble, facing Sina.

On Man Yue Island, a large number of clouds covered the entire island. Yun Tianxiang was working hard to study a new skill, Sea of ​​Clouds, to deal with several loose earthworms on the ground.

That’s right, several!

Although the animals were not as big as the earthworms, after a large number of animals died, some strong and agile animals performed very well. They took advantage of the favorable terrain (seaside) and effectively caused damage to the earthworms.

After suffering a large number of wounds all over its body, the earthworm chose to split again, and split more than once, in order to greatly reduce the area where it was hit.

Among them, Luffy's performance was the most active!

His rubber body shuttled back and forth between various animals, kicking flying monkeys and knocking part of the giant earthworm into the sea. He had a lot of fun on the island, but Nami, who was watching from the sky, was scared to death.

When the number of animals on the ground was reduced to only dozens, the birds in the sky gradually began to join the battle.

The birds hovering in the sky flew for a long time but could not find a suitable place to live. Finally, they could only launch a battle for survival against the earthworms that occupied their homeland.

With the addition of birds, the damage suffered by the earthworms increased rapidly, and more individuals split as a result.

On the huge island, a large number of pits appeared on the surface of the island. The pits were filled with animal blood, including that of earthworms, beasts, birds, and some animals that did not have time to swim into the ocean.

"What a fierce battle. Is this the animals' fight for survival?" Nico Robin watched the animals attacking the earthworms recklessly. She couldn't help but marvel at the animals' tenacious will to survive.

"Survival of the fittest. This is the law of nature. Robin. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will face them with you." Yun Tianxiang showed an encouraging smile and reached out to hold Nicole Robin's little hand.

"Yeah." Nico Robin responded with a sweet smile.

"Danger! Luffy!"

Suddenly, Nami roared loudly.

Hearing Nami's voice, Yun Tianxiang immediately activated his Observation Haki. In his perception, Luffy was surrounded by five earthworms, and the five earthworms actually moved in the same spiral as the first earthworm.

With his escape direction sealed, Luffy has only one choice, and that is to fight hard and carve out a bloody path.

Luffy began to spin his arms and yelled, "Rubber, rubber pistol!"

The elastic rubber arm popped out and hit the head of the earthworm above, and then came.

"It hurts~"

The earthworm flew away, but Luffy's fingers also suffered great friction damage.

"Hold on tight, Luffy."

Yun Tianxiang controlled the sea of ​​clouds on the island, captured Luffy, and then led him out of the encirclement of the earthworms.

The four earthworms circled around each other and attacked each other, completely unaware that they were attacking their own companions.

"I'm saved." Luffy lay on the sea of ​​clouds with a weak expression on his face.

"Luffy!" Yun Tianxiang sensed that Luffy seemed to be falling on the sea of ​​clouds.

"What's going on? I have no strength at all." Luffy said weakly, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Luffy!" Nami drove the seagull to hold Luffy in its mouth.

Yun Tianxiang sensed Luffy regaining his vitality in the mouth of the gull and teased, "Luffy! This is just like the first time we met. At that time, you were also in the bird's mouth."

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't mention the dark history! Tianxiang." Luffy pushed the toucan's mouth open with his hand, then flew to its back and grabbed Yun Tianxiang with both hands.

Nami saw that Luffy was still there helplessly making trouble. Her face darkened, and she walked to Luffy angrily, then punched Luffy on the head, "Enough!"

A half-meter-long bump appeared on Luffy's head. His eyes were filled with tears and he knelt on his knees to apologize to everyone.

"Robin. Luffy, Nami. Wait a moment. We'll be back on land soon!"

Yun Tianxiang guessed that he had mastered the sea of ​​clouds skill, and he began to try to use the sea of ​​clouds on the island to contact the earthworms.

After some attempts, he successfully found a sea of ​​clouds that was about the same size as the ocean.

After the earthworms came into contact with the sea of ​​clouds, the shells on their bodies quickly dissolved, and soon, the earthworms began to split again. However, the sea of ​​clouds enveloped them, so they could only continue to split.

On the ground, the earthworms visible to the naked eye gradually split from hundreds of meters in size to tens of meters in size and escaped into the ground.

The animals on the ground cheered when they could no longer see the earthworms.

"Oh oh oh!"

The birds flying in the sky also make joyful sounds.

After getting rid of the giant earthworm, everyone saw that the three statues were actually connected together.

Everyone exclaimed: "What a magnificent building!"

At this time, Luffy put on his straw hat and prepared to call Zoro back to the ground. However, he looked around in the sky, the earth, and the ocean, but did not see Zoro.

Luffy panicked, "Everyone. Zoro is gone."

Nami covered her forehead and said, "That guy, could he be lost?"

Yun Tianxiang suggested: "Let's go look for it together."

Nico Robin said maliciously: "I hope it won't be swallowed by animals and turned into nutrients."

Yun Tianxiang & Nami: "Robin, your idea is too..."

Luffy laughed, "That idiot Zoro, that's very possible."

Then, everyone began to look for Sauron:

"Hey! Zoro! Where are you? If you hear me, please reply!"
