The crew of One Piece all want to blame me

There are no trees within a radius of 300 meters here. In the dark forest, only this area has direct sunlight coming in, giving people a very special feeling here.

Qianyue held Garuru, the first person to step into this area. Because she had great trust in Garuru, Qianyue admired this special land illuminated by the sun without warning.

She stopped in place until she looked to the right front, holding Garuru in her arms. The whole person seemed motionless as if the pause button had been pressed, staring straight in that direction.

"Qianyue, what's wrong..."

Cecile followed her gaze and then she stopped in place as if the pause button had been pressed.

I saw a huge spider web between the trees over there. Of course, there was a huge spider lying in the middle of the web. However, this spider is completely white and does not look like an ordinary spider.

This spider also discovered Qianyue and the others, and slowly climbed down from the spider web, intending to rush towards them.

However, as soon as it took two steps, Garuru let out a terrifying aura and meowed.

"Meow." [Come here and die. 】

As if shocked by Garuru's terrifying aura, Spider stopped where he was and did not dare to move forward. However, it did not run away like other bugs, but stood there and stared at Garuru.

The two seemed to be fighting invisibly, staring at each other and refusing to give in.

Garuru was once a mountain god on the island where he was born, worshiped by forest animals and humans. Even though humans enshrine it as a joke, it doesn't matter that Garuru is recognized by all creatures on the island.

This spider is a creature recognized by this island and is also the island's guardian beast.

In other words, Garuru and Spider have conflicting attributes.

Two animals that exude the same aura secretly compete with each other. They have their own dignity and can be killed by others, but they will never allow themselves to lose to their own kind.

"Can...can we intervene?"

Since raising Garuru and Xinxin, Atlas has a profound understanding of the dignity and inferiority among animals.

Therefore, many times when Garuru takes action against animals, they rarely intervene. Because they were afraid that if they helped, Garuru would not be able to hold his head up in front of the animals.

They are not animals and they don't know when they will take action. So Seth is usually asked at such times, and only he can answer such questions.

"Hmm...Garuru, this spider..."

Seth did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly and looked at the spider.

"Meow meow." [You are so stupid that you don't even know what you are. It's embarrassing. 】

Garuru meowed in disgust.

Like Seth, Garuru also sensed that something was wrong with this spider.

It is obviously an intelligent guy like it, but at this moment it is like an ordinary spider with no IQ. It can't even distinguish between an enemy and a friend.

"Sure enough, this spider is controlled by something."

"Controlled?"

Kaguya raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Then why don't you try physical therapy? A good beating should help you wake up?"

"Meow?" [Try? 】

Garuru also favors physical therapy. Being able to beat him up means he can still be saved. If he can't be saved, he can only die.

This island is a paradise for plants and bugs. They can grow infinitely here, and their lifespan is many times longer than ordinary plants and bugs. If left alone, this spider may be controlled to death forever.

There is no need to ask whether he should be saved or not.

Seth certainly couldn't let it go, but he couldn't attack the spider. There was no other way, Kaguya and Atlas had no choice but to step forward and fight the spider.

After fighting hard for half an hour, the two finally subdued the spider.

It's not because spiders are powerful. A controlled guy is just an ordinary spider no matter how powerful he is. If it's as intelligent as Garuru, it can use its special abilities to make things a little more difficult for them.

You can tell that Garuru's special ability is comparable to Kaguya's strength without even asking.

This spider didn't know what special abilities it had, but it couldn't be used while it was controlled. After being beaten to the ground by Kaguya and Atlas, Spider shook his head and stopped attacking them.

"Are you awake?"

The spider regained some consciousness and looked at Seth in a daze.

The chaotic consciousness made it unable to tell who he was, but the body's instinct told it that it could trust this person.

[Underground...there are many humans...]

After saying this, the spider lost consciousness again. But this time he passed out and lay on the open ground without moving.

"How is it? Useful?"

"Yeah. It says there's a basement here, and the person who controls it is there."

Hearing this, Atlas looked at the ground and wondered.

"Underground? Didn't Jerius say anything?"

Jerius is an earth elf, so he should know everything about the situation underground. It’s impossible that there hasn’t been any reaction until now?

Seth was silent for a long time, covering his head and sighing deeply.

"Jelius...it ran down the metal wall for more than 40 meters...just told me that it wanted to go down the metal wall and find a weak wall to explore. I didn't expect it to run that far. I didn’t even see a place where I could get through it..."

......

"...well done, just keep trying."

Kaguya clapped her hands and praised Gerius. But except for Jerius, a three-year-old kid, everyone could tell that he was laughing at it.

Seth didn't care anymore and asked Jelius to tell him where the metal wall started. As long as they know where the entrance is, they can figure out the rest by themselves.

[Master, the entrance is under that spider web! 】

[Well, well done. 】

Seth praised Jerius and took the lead in walking toward the entrance.

What else can I do if I don’t praise you? Scold it? What can a child with only three years of intelligence understand? It's just an unauthorized act, it doesn't matter.

Besides, there are all these guys around him, some more, no more, no less. Just let them play as they please, as long as they don't get bullied.

Seth felt that he was becoming more and more indulgent towards Sylph and Jerius, and he felt helpless in his heart.

If this were me when I was young, I would definitely discipline them strictly. But after all, I am still old, and I can turn a blind eye to many things.

Arriving under the spider web, the strong Kaguya tore open the turf at the entrance, revealing a metal door leading to the underground.

"Let's make a bet. Are the people below us friends or foes?"

Kaguya didn't rush to open the door, but turned her head and smiled and bet them.

The situation is unclear now, and they don't know whether the people below are friends or foes. Although the possibility of enemies is currently higher, it cannot be ruled out that people live underground to avoid the persecution of insects.

"What's the stake?"
