One Piece: Heart Set Sail

"No matter what, this door must be opened. No matter what, we can't leave the two of them alone." Luo looked at the closed stone door with stern eyes: "Think carefully about the correct rules, Xavier, and Tell me what you were thinking just now."

"Yes, Captain." Xavier frowned and began to sort out his speculations over and over again.

People on the ground were trying their best to open the stone door, but Bebo and Xue, who fell to the ground, almost had their hearts go into shock.

"Oh my God, Bebo, Bebo, are you okay?!" Xue covered her chest, her heart still beating violently at this moment. She really wasn't mentally prepared for that moment.

In the darkness when he fell, Bebo panicked and grabbed a thick tree root with one hand, and pulled Xue with the other hand, and then he stopped falling: "I'm fine, but I think we haven't fallen yet. in the end."

"I, I think so. I don't know how high it is below. The moment I fell, I couldn't see the light above..." Xue felt that her legs were still hanging in the air: "Bebo, Do we have any lighting? I really can't see anything clearly right now." Because the surrounding environment was indeed so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, Xue didn't dare to move.

"Xiaoxue, can you reach my backpack? There is a light there." Bebo tried his best to move Xue behind him.

"Okay, I'll try."

After the two of them spent a long time, Xue took out the lighting lamp from Beibo's backpack. After lighting it, he could see the surrounding space clearly.

"Bebo, we seem to be in a very small place." Xue turned around and looked at her side. This was a vertical passage going downwards. There was no light visible from above, and it was also dark below. The passage was about two meters wide. rice.

"Xue, don't be afraid, the captain will definitely find a way to save us." Bebo was worried that Xue would feel scared in such a small space, so he comforted her.

Xue nodded: "But Bebo, we can't hang here forever, how about we go up or down?"

Bebo also felt that hanging here was not an option, but he chose to go up. The entrance just now seemed to have been closed, and now it seemed that there was only one way left.

"Then let's go down." Bebo finally made the decision: "By the way, I'm worried that the oxygen underground is thin. Let's talk less to avoid suffocation."

"it is good."

Bebo and Xue moved down bit by bit. For convenience, Xue tied himself to Bebo's body with a rope. About an hour and a half later, through the lighting, Xue could already see the bottom, so he took the photo. He patted Beibo and pointed downward with his index finger, indicating that he had reached the end.

"Bebo, be careful, there are thorns down there!" Xue looked carefully and found that the bottom was full of sharp thorns. If Bebo hadn't grabbed the tree root in mid-air just now, I'm afraid they both would have been pierced into hedgehogs. .

"It's really bad." Bebo stopped climbing down. If he fell on the thorn, he would definitely be injured.

"Bebo, there is an open space over there!" Xue suddenly saw an open space next to Ci: "It's just a little far away from us, can you get through?"

Bebo looked at it carefully and nodded.So in the end, I spent a lot of energy and used the tree roots to swing over. It was great to be able to reach the bottom at this time, and the two of them finally landed safely.

He raised the light and looked at the road ahead. At this time, both Xue and Beibo were surrounded.

"Bebo..." Xue called softly: "We...which way should we go?"

"I do not know either……"

The range of the stabbing was as wide as the passage they had just fallen into. After the two people avoided it, they found that they were at a crossroads. Yes, there were two passages on the front, back, left and right, like a cave, and each one was exactly the same.Anywhere further away was beyond the reach of the lighting, and it was completely dark. The two of them looked at each other, and fell into a difficult choice.

At the stone gate, Luo Fang.

"How's it going? Captain?" Xia Qi came over and looked at the various patterns Luo and Xavier drew on the ground.

"Don't make any noise." It was Luo's first time coming into contact with this kind of totem. Of course, the patterns were not easy to find, but fortunately, he had always been very good at finding patterns, so he and Xavier quickly got up together. Come on.

At this time, there were sparse sounds in the forest, as if coming from all directions.

"No, Captain... there's something in the woods!" Pekin and others surrounded Luo and Xavier and prepared for defense against the surrounding woods.

"Luo, whatever you have, leave it to us, and you can focus on opening the door!" Joey cheered up.

Luo and Xavier had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, so they could only speed up.A suspicious thing in the woods also appeared at this time. It was a strange animal with sharp teeth, a fish-like tail, and reptile-like limbs.

"Xia Qi, what the hell are these?!"

"How would I know?!"

"Don't worry about what they are. If you dare to take action, we will accompany you!" Kaiden did not show weakness.

Those strange creatures, after looking at each other with a few people, all rushed over, and the two sides fell into battle again.The strength of this creature is not small. After a few turns, several people were panting from exhaustion. Joey was even more strenuous. Ben had already expended a lot of energy in dealing with Hellabon on the way here.

"Captain, are you okay?! We...can't hold on any longer! There are too many of these things..." Seeing that Caiden had lost his temper, his left arm was scratched with a deep gash by the creature's sharp claws. , Xia Qi couldn't help but urge.

"Okay!" Luo stood up and rushed to the stone door: "Xavier!"

"Yes!"

The two people were on the left and right of the door, pressing all the small circles one after another, and finally hit the eyes of the human face totem hard, and the stone door made a heavy sound.

"Great! The door is open!"

Luo raised the corner of his mouth: "Room." The ghost cried out of its sheath, the sword energy rushed through, and those creatures were cut in half.

"Captain, I want to worship you!" Pekin supported Caiden.

"Okay, hurry in now!" Luo shouted.

After everyone entered the stone gate, those strange creatures stopped attacking them and just wandered around the door.

"Why is this? They don't dare to come in?" Peijin wondered: "Isn't there something more terrifying inside..."

"Hmph, no matter what he is, if he dares to take action against my companions, I will not take it lightly." Luo lowered his head and walked inside.

Behind the stone gate, it was also pitch black. Luo and the others also lit up lights. This was a stone staircase spiraling downward. I don’t know how deep it was. There were many totems carved on the surrounding stone walls. Yes, they were indeed related to Related to Heart of the Ocean.

"Luo, can you guess the specific location of the Heart of the Ocean?" Seeing Luo looking at the murals, Joey asked: "Is it down here?"

"The specific location is unknown, but it is probably down there. The first priority is to find Beibo and Xiaoxue." Luo's current concern is not whether he can find the Heart of the Ocean, but the lives of his companions.

Everyone continued to move forward, going deeper and deeper along the stone stairs.

"Captain, I don't know if it's my imagination, but I heard the sound of water flowing." Xia Qi raised his ears and listened carefully, and indeed heard the sound of gurgling water.

"There is water flowing, which means there is still air down there. I can treat your wound soon, Kaiden." Pekin had just bandaged Kaiden briefly, and there was no water source to clean the wound.

"This is really lucky." Kaiden broke into a cold sweat because of the pain.

Underground, Bebo Square.

"Xiaoxue, should we have chosen to go to the left just now?" Ten minutes ago, the two of them were entangled in various ways and chose to go forward. However, after walking for a long time, they came to a crossroads and started to have difficulties again.

Xue was also confused the whole time: "Where are we now? Why are there forks in the road one after another, like a maze."

"Maybe we are really in a maze." Bebo thought: "If we can get to the center of the maze, maybe we can still find the heart of the ocean."

"But, we don't know where the center point of the maze is. We can only walk aimlessly like this." Xue began to feel dejected. In this dark and depressing environment, anyone who stayed for a long time would feel... uncomfortable.

"So this is also our current problem. We can't find the center and we can't find the exit." Bebo is also helpless. The light cannot last for a long time. It only carries four candles. If the candles burn out, They still haven't found the entrance or exit, and haven't waited for Luo to rescue them, so they might be trapped and die here.

"Bei... Beibo..." Xue's voice was trembling. Because she was facing Beibo, she could clearly see the rear. At this moment, she definitely saw something incredible.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Bebo felt uneasy when he felt something strange about the snow in his arms.

"Just now, just now I saw a blue light flash past... I'm sure it was not my imagination..." Fear filled her heart, and Xue couldn't help but start to tremble: "Bebo... I, I'm afraid... "

"Light?" Bebo turned around and looked in the direction where Xue was looking just now, but there was still darkness there: "Are you really not mistaken?"

"No...ah! It's there again, this time on the left!" Xue turned her head and looked at the passage on the left. Now she felt that the hairs all over her body were standing on end.

Bebo became even more vigilant and observed its surroundings. At this moment, it also felt that something seemed to be nearby.

They even controlled their breathing and were quiet. The cave was extremely quiet at this moment. However, Beibo soon discovered that the blue light Xue mentioned was indeed a group of blue light. It appeared in Beibo's eyes this time. In front of.

"What the hell?!" Bebo muttered to himself, then thought for a while and said, "Xue, I plan to catch up now, are you afraid?"

"I... although I am scared, I will try my best to restrain myself. Bebo, let's catch up." Xue said tremblingly.

"it is good!"

So Bebo started to run towards the blue light, and the light seemed to be conscious and started to move when Bebo got closer, but this time it didn't want to be as fast as before, more like it was leading the way.

"Strange, where does this group of light want to take us?" Bebo felt that the blue light wanted to lead the way, and he was even more confused: "Xiaoxue, do you think this is a trap?"

"I think it's most likely...what should Beibo do?!" Xue is usually extremely afraid of thunder and rain. Now, no matter how hard she restrains herself, she still can't get rid of the fear in her heart, constantly hoping that Luo will hurry up. Just come.

Bebo followed and came to another fork in the road, but this intersection was different from the previous one, with only two forks.

"Xiaoxue, the blue light has moved to the left."

"Then...should we go left or right..." Xue Collapse, what the hell is this place? First she was scared to death by falling vertically, and now the depressing atmosphere broke through her psychological defense bit by bit.

"No matter what, let's catch up and see what kind of monster it is!" Bebo chased after him again.

This time, they entered a closed space, no longer a straight passage, but a circular stone chamber.

The blue light stopped when it reached here. Bebo stood there, staring at it with tense nerves.

Gradually, the light turned into a figure, specifically, a figure with a human upper body and a huge fish tail below.

"Seren." Bebo blurted out: "Hey, you are a siren, right?! Why are you so mysterious? Who are you trying to scare to death?!"

The figure made a sound, which could be called the sound of nature. It was so sweet, clear and ethereal: "Welcome to the underground palace of the Kraken Clan."
