One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 157 The Mutant Empress Ling

"Sure enough, it's too late. I still want to take it back as a collection." On the edge of the messy tomb, Tiger Shark who didn't know when he came here looked at the dark entrance of the underground tomb with his hands folded.The cold breeze blew his black kimono and overcoat, and the lotus flowers embroidered with gold thread on the wide sleeves of the clothes bloomed wantonly while fluttering.

Holding a black bow and carrying a quiver, Jia stood quietly behind him, his face was blocked by the smiling white Daifuku doll mask.A group of white island clouds floated above his head, and he could occasionally see two big round black eyes while wandering around.

"But forget it, the cheap container should be destroyed." Tiger Shark stretched out his right hand, and A immediately handed him the black bow and a black arrow in his hand.

With a black bow in his right hand and an arrow in his left hand, he pointed the bow and arrow down at the dark entrance with a smile.

"!!", Sauron, who was in the underground research institute, heard the threat approaching quickly before he recovered from the shock just now. In an instant, there was the faint sound of glass breaking, followed by the muffled sound of sharp arrows sinking into the wall.

Sauron turned his head suddenly, but only saw two small holes on the culture tank, and the transparent culture fluid was continuously flowing out.And the body of the woman in the cultivation tank, which was originally curled up like a baby, was also loosened by the strong attack just now. The attack in the center of her eyebrows made her body hit the glass wall on the other side along the attack trajectory, and her head Also slightly raised due to inertia, the face with closed eyes was finally exposed from under the loose black hair.

The wound that completely penetrated the skull only leaked a faint bloodstain, which was blurred by the culture fluid like a layer of bloody mist.But the blood dissipated quickly, and what was even more shocking was that the hideous wound on the woman's forehead even began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it fully recovered in less than a minute, and it was completely unrecognizable that she had been injured a minute ago.

But this didn't shock Sauron, he just stood there in a daze at the moment, looking at the face of the woman in the cultivation tank in disbelief.The extremely familiar outline and the habitually slightly raised corners of the lips were all exactly the same as the girl he knew.Even the height and slender figure are exactly the same, to be precise, they seem to be the same person.

The culture fluid was still flowing out along the two small holes on the jar, and flowing everywhere along the conduits all over the floor. When it was about to touch the feet of the swordsman who was stunned there, the swordsman with a frightened expression It was only then that he subconsciously stepped back for a distance, away from the ever-spreading culture fluid.

"Encore..." Sauron still couldn't believe everything in front of him. He stared blankly at the slender woman floating in the culture tank. When he looked down a little and saw her clean and fair collarbone, he suddenly calmed down. My panic was also dissipated by a certain fact.

This is not Encore.

There was a coin-sized black pattern on Anke's left collarbone. Although she didn't say it clearly, Sauron could guess that it was left to save Ace two years ago.

That is to say, this innocence is nothing more than a container, the last nightmare left by a doctor.

The next second there was a sharp breaking wind, and Zoro subconsciously held the knife to block it, but just as he raised his hand, he stopped suddenly, allowing the black afterimage passing by to hit the cultivation jar behind him again.

The sharp arrows penetrating the ground kept passing by Sauron's side, avoiding him with great precision and hitting the cultivation jar.There was a muffled sound of cracking from the tempered glass, and the culture fluid began to pour out from more and more cracks. At the same time, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and within a few minutes, frost had even begun to appear in the room.

In the faint blue light, more and more cracks began to appear in the whole room like a smashed mirror, and Sauron, in order not to touch the culture fluid, quickly retreated to the only entrance and exit.

Those void cracks have almost filled the entire field of vision, Sauron looked down at his hand holding the knife and saw the long knife that became twisted due to the cracks.I don't know when more than ten centimeters of frost accumulated on the wall, and the ground that was originally full of wires was completely frozen.

The attack from the ground also stopped after a while, which seemed to be a signal before the end. Sauron held the knife with a slight force, and after all, he did not look back at the already riddled culture tank and the The body inside ran up the stairs without looking back.

The moment he raised his leg, an arrow had already passed through the solid ground and passed by his left side without a sound, and the faint blue light behind him suddenly went out in the next second.The temperature dropped to more than ten degrees below zero in an instant, and the frost was soaring at the same time. Not only that, large and small stones began to fall around the tunnel, and it is estimated that this underground research institute will be completely buried soon. .

Sauron, who was completely in the dark, could only rely on his intuition and knowledge to rush out domineeringly, and at the same time use his knife to block the falling earth and rocks and the frost blocking the way.What's worse, even though the eyes couldn't see those shattering cracks, the cracking sound of "cracking" was constantly heard in the ears, and the thin and sharp sound even covered up the sound of the tunnel collapse.

"Boom..." In the continuous sound of collapse and subsidence, Sauron rushed out of the tunnel just before he was about to be buried, and barely stopped after hitting several tombstones. .

When he raised his head, he was petrified again by the sight in front of him.

The world in front of me is full of cracks like a shattered glass ball, and all the scenes are fragmented, chaotic and overlapping like the end of the world.

The scene that had been shattered to the extreme was completely scattered with a "click", and in the spots that dissipated into the sky, it also exposed the true appearance of Linghou who had been covered for nearly ten years.

The hazy and gloomy sky, the sparsely falling snowflakes, the snow piled up on the ground which is more than one meter high, the biting cold temperature and cold wind, countless lifeless tombstones...

This is Empress Ling, the real Empress Ling.

The warm sun a few seconds ago was as illusory as the setting sun in a dream, only the cold snowflakes fell all over the ground in reality. Sauron stood in the icy and snowy tombstone with his lips tightly pressed, and after a while, snowflakes fell on his hair and shoulders. A lot of snowflakes.

And the tiger shark and A who were here a few minutes ago have already left. The shark lying lazily on the island cloud raised his hand to catch a snowflake, and just shook his fingers when looking at the snowflake mixed with a lot of ash and stains Let it fall, "The environment in Wano Country is really bad, even the snow is dirty."

A, who was walking quietly below, didn't reply. After feeling some commotion, he saluted the cloud above and left quickly. The black figure flashed a few times in the icy snow and then disappeared.

After lazily yawning, he closed his eyes and prepared to rest, completely disregarding the commotion caused by the sudden change of Queen Ling.

....................................

In addition to a large number of cemeteries in the barren Linghou, there are actually some leaking villages on the edge, relying on picking up food from other areas for a living.But here are more gangsters, relying on smashing and stealing from other areas and fleeing here to live.

For some reason, Orochi and Kaido rarely send people to inspect the area after Ling, as if they had given up.Even the inexplicable big explosion before was just a few groups of people who came to check it out and then left quickly, as if there was something dirty here.

Even though the people who lived here were frightened by the inexplicable big explosion a few days ago, they had nowhere to go and could only continue to live here, just because the current Wano country can find a place to live. Everywhere is difficult.

But today is different.

The sudden drop in temperature is as inexplicable as the sudden rise ten years ago. What is even more frightening is that for the first time, people who have been working hard and trying their best to survive have seen the whole world crumble in front of their own eyes. The living environment suddenly turned into a biting cold winter.The people who moved here because Empress Ling became warmer didn't even have clothes to keep out the cold, but because of this weird and frightening scene, they quickly fled out with their few belongings and their families.

The shattered spots have not completely dissipated, and the snowflakes that have become gray due to the pollution of the Wano country factory have already drifted down. At this time, the panicked people discovered that the place where they lived was already a snowfield. More than one meter of snow.

People who have never seen such a strange scene quickly rushed to the connecting bridge leading to Nozomi, the capital of flowers or Baiwu. In the cold weather where the snow was flying, the people in ragged clothes and withered faces almost relied on instinct to take refuge.Everyone was talking while fleeing with horror on their faces. From time to time, a few frightened children even cried all the way:

"What the hell happened?? The sky suddenly cracked open!!"

"Damn it! All the furniture I managed to find was wasted! Who in the world provoked the wrath of the heavens!"

"It's the same as Linghou's sudden warming a few years ago. I thought it would never snow again."

"Damn! If I knew it was so cold here, I wouldn't have come here! How can I buy so many clothes if I can't even fill my stomach!"

"Mom! So cold! And so hungry! Wow!!"

..........................................

Compared with other Leaking Villages, there are not many people living in Linghou, but the sudden influx of refugees into other areas has attracted the attention of many people.What's more, those borders adjacent to Queen Ling began to be covered with snow. As rumors spread one by one, the changes that happened to Queen Ling soon spread to the ears of the Flower Capital Orochi.

"What?!!!" Orochi, who hadn't woken up from the death of the oiran, heard the bad news, and his voice immediately became extremely sharp because of fright, "Is there any news from Kaido!? When Queen Ling Didn’t he send someone over to say that he didn’t care about the warming!? What’s going on with explosions and ice and snow now?!”

"We also just received the news, because many poor people who originally lived in Linghou were frightened and ran to Jianlou Village near Huadu, and the place near Linghou in Huadu was also covered by snow.", Fu Lu Shou, the captain of the Imperial Court Ninja, immediately reported the news, with a dignified expression, "Now because of the influx of those poor people, riots have begun to occur in the capital of flowers. Everyone is very worried about Linghou's place. What is unknown will cause many phenomena that are difficult to explain with common sense to occur continuously."

"What is unknown? Where did the unknown come from?! The Wano country under the rule of this general has always been peaceful and happy!" Orochi roared angrily, but he was really timid and afraid of death, and he was really afraid that something messy would come from Queen Ling thing.

Ten years ago, Kaido warned him not to approach Linghou casually, saying that there was a capable man and stranger whom he had invited there, who was responsible for building a strong fighter for him.Orochi, who relied on Kaido's power to ascend the throne of the general, of course obeyed. What's more, he was timid and afraid of strange creatures appearing from Queen Ling, such as the group of Kaido's men with inexplicable animal bodies. The same as his subordinates.

"No, it's over if there's a parade of weird creatures over there!" The anxious Orochi didn't care whether Kaido knew about it now, and ordered in a horrified voice, "Come on! Send someone to blow up the connecting bridge leading to other places after Ling! Prevent monsters or other things from Queen Ling from coming to harm Lao Tzu's Flower City! And don't let those low-class people enter the Flower City, let people guard Ling After the broken bridge, don't let weird things come over!"

"Yes! I will do it immediately!" Fu Lushou nodded immediately, and hurried out to send people to destroy the connecting bridges leading to Linghou. (All areas of Wano Country are separated, and there are only connecting bridges between each area for people to come and go.)
After the person left, the big snake's short and fat body still couldn't help shaking like chaff in fear, his face was pale and covered with cold sweat, "This is definitely a sign...a sign...a sign that the words left by time will come true..."
