Pirate Vice-Captain Heart

Chapter 359 THE353 Seconded

Luffy was silent and didn't speak... He probably needs an answer to this question.

Luffy didn't make a sound, but the noise and shouts of children came from behind the crowd.

"Now it's time to send sugar!"

"Why hasn't anyone given us sugar yet!"

"No, didn't the Queen of Hearts also tell us that candy is bad?"

"The Queen of Hearts is a villain! She must be talking irony!"

"Yes, yes, it's irony!"

Chopper quickly shouted to the children, "What Lin Xi said is true! Those candies contain drugs, and they are the culprits who made you like this!"

Hearing the word "medicine", it caught Luo's attention.

"Hey, Chopper! What's going on!"

Chopper quickly explained the matter of these children to everyone, saying that they were the test subjects of the giantization experiment, and those so-called candies contained experimental drugs.

"Aren't these children... the ones who mysteriously disappeared before?" Da Siqi said in shock.

In addition to arresting Luffy and others, their original mission also included finding the reasons for these disappearances.Unexpectedly, the matter of arresting Luffy was completely ruined, but another task was completed instead.

Da Siqi hurriedly told everyone the whole story of the child's disappearance, and said, please let her help.

Everyone put down their next plan for the time being.

Luo, Chopper, and the military doctors in G5 will be in charge of treating these children, while Nami and Tashiki, who know how to take care of children, Usopp, who has anesthesia, and some sailors will help.

They took the children to the warmer exit hall and shut the door behind them.

The people outside the door were silent for a while, Sanji heard the gurgling sound coming from Luffy's stomach, he took a look, and saw that Luffy didn't make a fuss about eating, but squatted there more and more silently, dumbfounded looking at the snow.

Sanji thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the food warehouse of the research institute and cook some dishes... No matter what, you can't think when you're hungry."

"Then... Mr. Sanji, let me help you. They are treating the child at the front door, so let's enter through the side door." Brooke said.

Frankie continued, "I'm going to go to the Sonny to look at the fuel and other reserves, and by the way, I'm going to recycle the Mini Meili that's parked on Burning Island... No matter where I go, I have to do it." Ready to sail anytime."

Robin said, "I know where the Mini Merry is parked, let me go with you."

At this time, Smoker's heart had returned to its place, but Smoker didn't have any intention to arrest these guys who had no fighting intention.

Smoker said to the sea soldier behind him, "You guys, follow me to the research institute, search around, and see if you can find anything that can be used as evidence... Huh, what a coincidence, I hate it too Spades to the extreme."

If there is anything they left behind here... even if it is just a little bit, it will be enough for Marshal Akainu to marginalize this organization even more.

After Smoker led his men away, Sauron also got up and followed, and even grabbed a sailor at the end of the team,
"Hey, you kid... lead me the way."

"Lead the way? I've never been here before..." Hai Bing trembled in shock from Sauron's "kind" gaze.

"To be precise... it is to help me remember the route. As long as I don't get lost."

"Ah... yes yes yes."

However, Smoker, Sauron and others spent time searching the entire research institute, including the underground and hidden secret rooms.But no matter where it went, it was empty.

Empty large jars, empty mysterious plant farms, empty purification facilities... There is nothing convincing about these places where there is no trace of medicine left.In particular, I couldn't find anything that could be related to the word "spades".

However, in addition to these things that were cleaned up, they found some things in a room on the basement floor.

Dead body.

After a simple check, it was found that these people should be all the pirates and teabeard pirates who survived the original Punk Hazard gas incident.

Just because Spades can spare the Navy and the Straw Hats doesn't mean they can spare these "test subjects" too!

But what is strange is that the cause of their death was some kind of virulence, but the way of contact with the virus was direct skin contact.

If that's the case, the method of poisoning should be poisonous gas, but there is no poisonous gas on the ground floor!Moreover, they died half an hour ago, within a short period of time, and they were underground, and the poisonous gas would dissipate...it doesn't make sense at all.

Smoker was deeply puzzled by this.Then a terrifying possibility occurred to me.

Could it be... another new type of poisonous gas?
-
Punk Hazard, outside the main entrance of the Frozen Island Institute.

Everyone is gone.

Each went to do their own things.

In the end, Luffy is the only one left.

Luffy sat on the snow by himself, spit out white mist with his breath, stared into the distance, and remained silent.

He thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't think about anything.

Sometimes it is chaotic like a ball of wool caught by a cat, and sometimes it is blank like the pure and flawless snow in front of you.

After a while, a footstep sounded behind him.

The opponent walked slowly, making a crunching sound as he stepped on the snow.

Finally, the opponent's footsteps stopped beside him, and then sat down imitating Luffy's posture.

Luo took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it deftly, and puffed out the smoke.

When Dong Yi told him that Lin Xi didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he had been in a state of quitting smoking, but... after the top war, he didn't expect to be able to quit cigarettes, and even became addicted to alcoholism.

Tobacco, alcohol, can hardly be removed from his life.

"Hi." Luffy asked.

"Ok?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to see it, it's messy."

"How are the children?"

"The toxins in the body have been largely cleared...they are all taking stimulants. The painful long-term treatment is inevitable, but now there is no serious problem. Chopper is further diagnosing and treating them." Luo took a sip Yan, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, said slowly, "Oh, as Lin Xi once said, I am in charge of treating the symptoms, and Qiaoba is in charge of the root cause."

"Sure enough... I still think they are the same person." Luffy suddenly changed the subject.

"I think so too...but the truth is..."

"Facts? What facts?"

"Hey you……"

Luo turned his head to look over, but saw Lu Fei's appearance of not caring and going his own way.

Luffy noticed Luo's gaze, looked back, and showed that iconic bright smile again.

"Hehehe, Lin Xi is Lin Xi, no matter which one is Lin Xi! So... both of them must be chased back!"

Luo took a deep breath, then raised his head and let out a long stream of mist.

"What a capricious captain...Rayleigh always said that of the two of us, one thinks too little and the other thinks too much. Either way is a fatal flaw in combat. I don't know how you have become, but I should have obeyed my intuition at this time..."

Luo paused, and flicked the cigarette butt out with a slight movement of his thumb.The cigarette butt draws a beautiful parabola.Then, accompanied by the two words Luo said slowly, it landed on the snow more than ten meters away.

"Seconded."
