Above the Pirate King

Chapter 239
sand!Small!
This was Arthur's first impression of the island he had just landed on.

This island, rather than an island, might as well be called an island reef. It is in the shape of a half moon, with a total area of ​​only ten acres of land, and it is covered with sand, without any vegetation, and there are no stones in sight!
"How do you find this?" Arthur couldn't help having a headache!
The treasure map does not indicate any landmarks or how to find the treasure. In this case, even if the island reef full of sand is only ten acres, it is not easy to find!
Unless the entire reef is turned over!
Well, Arthur can do it!

But here comes the problem.

What exactly is a treasure?
How deep is it hidden?
What protection?
He didn't know these things, so he didn't dare to turn over the reef rashly, otherwise what if he accidentally hurt the treasure?

"Let's scan it with knowledge first!" In desperation, Arthur had no choice but to do this!
To be honest, the color of knowledge is really good for perceiving creatures, but if you search for treasure, especially the treasure under the sand, unless you have a special color of knowledge like Roger, it is useless at all!

Because these treasures have no "sound", searching for things without "sound" is like searching for stones like heat induction, and it can't be sensed at all!

However, talking is better than nothing, it's better than looking around!
Arthur closed his eyes, letting go of his knowledge.

Milo, Shura, Bucky, Pirates...all the people who followed him off the ship immediately popped into his mind.

Afterwards, he covered the entire island with his knowledge.

Hermit crabs, crabs, sea turtles, sandworms and other sea creatures also entered the range of his perception.

It's been a long time.

He couldn't help frowning.

No, nothing is sensed but the sea creatures and them.

Fortunately, he had expected this a long time ago, so he didn't feel any disappointment.

Well, since the color of knowledge cannot be perceived, it can only be done artificially!

"Bucky, take your men to find the treasure!" Arthur commanded to Bucky behind him in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes!" Bucky's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

For finding the treasure, Bucky couldn't wait for it, and Arthur also agreed to give him a little bit of the treasure, which made him more motivated to find the treasure!

Afterwards, Bucky led his men to rummage through the island.

"Not enough, there are too few people like Bucky!" Arthur frowned slightly as he looked at Bucky who was searching.

Bucky is now in the early stage of starting a business, and there are not many people under him, only 21, which is far less than the later Bucky Pirates. Even his deputy captain and those leaders have not returned to their positions. !
Now that this few people want to rummage through the ten acres of sandy land, when will they rummage through it?

"Go to the boat and call some people down to help find it!" Arthur commanded to Milo who was beside him.

"Yes!" Milo nodded respectfully, turned around and went back to the boat to call someone.

After a while, he came down with more than 50 waiters and more than [-] murlocs!
"Whoever finds the location of the treasure first will reward him with 1000 million Baileys or 100 million St. Martin coins!"

For these waiters and murlocs belonging to his own people, Arthur rewarded them directly and generously!

All of a sudden, these waiters and murlocs became excited.

1000 million Baileys!
This is not a small sum for them!
Although having this money is not enough for them to enjoy the rest of their lives comfortably, it is also enough for their living standards to rise several levels!

Soon, these waiters and murlocs who were inspired by Arthur's words rushed into the island in a hurry, and started rummaging on the island like Bucky and his team!
An hour has passed!

Not found, not the slightest clue!
Two hours have passed!
Still not found!

Three hours
four hours
Until the sun went down, the group searched the entire island, but they couldn't find any clues!

For a while, everyone began to doubt the authenticity of the treasure map!
Even Arthur couldn't help being a little skeptical!
But thinking that it was given by Roger, there should be nothing wrong with it, right?
Look for another two days, if you can't find it, forget it!
Arthur set a time for himself in his heart!

late at night!

At this time, everyone else was asleep on the boat!
And Arthur sat on the beach alone!
"Wow!"

The waves are constantly beating the sandy island.

"call--
The sea breeze blew slightly on the island, blowing away the hot climate in the sea area of ​​Xia Island a lot, and made Arthur, who was sitting on the beach, feel refreshed.

Taking advantage of the mirror-like moon and the soft light from the stars in the sky, Arthur took out the sheepskin treasure map and began to study it.

At this moment, a ray of moonlight shone on the map.

kindness! ?

Arthur suddenly noticed that something seemed to flash across the map!

So, he quickly adjusted the angle at which he was holding the map!

After adjusting for a while, he finally saw clearly what flashed by.

It's a map, a map of his island!

Under the moonlight, the painting on the map was completely different from what he saw in the morning. A half-moon-shaped island glowing with soft light emerged from the painting!
It is the island where he is now!

And the two crescent corners of the island on the map exude a slight blue light!

"Crackling!"

The next moment, Arthur immediately turned into a flash of lightning, disappeared from the middle of the island, and appeared on the corner below.

This corner was rummaged by his people before!
But apart from the potholes dug, nothing was found!
But having said that, since this point is marked on the map, there is definitely something wrong with this point!
Arthur first sensed it with a domineering sense of knowledge.

Still didn't feel anything.

After thinking about it, he simply rolled up his sleeves and dug up.

Armor covers his hands and extends a bit.

His hands immediately turned into two huge black shovels!

"呲-"

He inserted his hand into the sand like practicing iron sand palms.

Shovel hard.

Suddenly, the yellow sand flew up!
He shoveled a [-]-centimeter pit out of a square meter of sand.

Afterwards, he waved his hands together, as if having a convulsion, and dug frantically.

one meter.

two meters
five meters
15 meter

20 m.

Got it! ! !

Finally, after digging 20 meters, he suddenly found something!
This is a palm-sized brilliant blue round crystal.

After wiping the sand on the crystal, he played with the crystal carefully, but unfortunately, after playing with it for a while, he didn't find anything!
Still, think of two dots on the map!
This thing should be a pair, right?
So Arthur followed the script and successfully found another blue crystal in another corner.

The moment he got another bead, a sudden change appeared!
"Rumble!"

The whole island suddenly shook.

Arthur clearly felt that the island was rising!
