Pirate Death Arrives.

Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard, who couldn't even be defeated by the disease, seemed a little lonely at this time.

The tall and straight body is slightly bent.

The wrinkles on the forehead and corners of the eyes become deeper.

In his right hand, a small card that was nearly half burned was slowly floating in the sea breeze.

That's the life card.

It shrinks when its owner weakens, then returns to its original size when its owner regains health.

The nearly half-burnt life card in Whitebeard's hand shows that the owner is in an extremely bad situation at this time, and may even be life-threatening.

On the side, Marco hid the newspaper he just got behind his back and did not disturb him.

"Marco, bring it!"

However, the keen Whitebeard still discovered it.

"Dad, take care of yourself!"

Marco sighed secretly and handed him the newspaper with both hands.

Whitebeard glanced absently.

"It's that kid again, Ace once..."

Halfway through, he fell silent again.

"Dad, how about I go..."

"Need not!"

Whitebeard waved his hand, and then waved his hand.

"Bring me the wine!"

Marco looked worried.

"But your body!"

Whitebeard snorted, and the needle on his body was pulled out casually.

"I'm in good health, bring me some wine!"

"Okay, okay!"

Helpless, Marco had no choice but to walk towards the cabin where the wine was stored.

He could see his father's remorse and guilt.

After all, Shanks came to remind him, but he still didn't stop Ace from chasing Blackbeard.

……

Dressrosa.

royal palace.

"Emperor-level? Fufu-fufu, if any pirate group could be called the Emperor-level pirate group, then this sea would have turned into a mess!"

Like most pirates, Doflamingo didn't believe what was shown in the newspaper at all.

What's more, there are no photos of the Death Pirates appearing in Impel Down, nor are there any photos of them fighting.

As for why Impel Down City was destroyed like that?

This is a doubtful point.

In fact, this was Morgans' mistake.

He is always a little impatient when it comes to big news.

He did have perfect evidence in his hand to prove that everything was done by the Death Pirates, but he had forgotten that it was the audio of the conversation between the top officials of Judiciary Island.

The audio cannot be presented in newspapers.

This has led to more people paying attention to the ‘authenticity’ of this newspaper, and its content has even been regarded as a joke.

Ordinary pirates are like this, and the four emperors are still like this.

……

"This is really a magical island!"

At this time, the Death Pirates, who had been floating on the sea for more than half a month, came to an extremely strange island.

After nearly two days of observation.

Luo Di discovered a pattern.

Once midnight, the island undergoes a magical transformation.

And because of this change, the island was divided into two parts from the island's coastline.

One part is the foundation of the island just above the surface of the ocean, while the parts above it will float or settle over time.

Luo Di called it the "Sinking and Floating Island".

There is no human life on the island, only some huge strange birds.

This bird is also very strange.

They may only be about the size of a fist at birth, but their bodies double in size every year.

The leader of this group of strange birds is now more than twenty meters long.

However, their huge bodies bring huge burdens, so their lifespan is extremely short, ranging from eight to nine years to five or six years.

However, despite their huge size, they have an exceptionally gentle personality because they live in isolation from the world all year round.

Facing the intruders like Luo Di, they even presented delicious fruits from the island and were very friendly.

"Pity!"

At this time, Luo Di was sitting on the head of the strange bird leader 'Ke Lei', chewing an unknown bright red fruit in his mouth.

He stroked its hard feather shaft and soft feather petals with his left hand, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Kore cannot fly.

In other words, it may have lost the ability to fly because of its growing size.

And this watershed is ten meters!

In other words, any strange bird that is more than ten meters in size cannot fly. There are hundreds of giant birds like this on the island.

A bird that originally could fly loses its ability to fly, which is as painful as a fish losing the water source it depends on for survival.

"I hope Tu Ji can quickly create an antidote to cure this 'strange disease'!"

With a slight sigh, he slowly stood up.

Of course, his treatment of these strange birds may be partly out of sympathy, but more importantly, he sees their potential.

In addition to curing these strange birds, Luo Di also has another purpose.

He was very interested in the island.

What exactly caused its floating and subsidence? The reasons behind it are worth exploring.

Immediately, he jumped and disappeared into the dense jungle.

Kore, who fell into a deep sleep, did not notice his departure.

……

Today, the island happens to be floating.

When he first came to this island, Luo Di didn't know it yet.

So it was only now that we went to investigate the island foundation below.

"This cross section is so smooth. It seems that it has been in this state for many years!"

"This rock section has also become very thick due to extrusion!"

Luo Di lowered his head and observed the flat section formed by continuous grinding under his feet.

Because it is about five meters away from the sea, it is rarely submerged by sea water except for exaggerated high tides and waves caused by storms.

However, this foundation covers a very large area, almost as far as the eye can see, and everything as far as the eye can see is gray-brown.

Of course, there are many other colors. Dark red or even brown-black are another tone. Those are cruel colors produced by various creatures being squeezed by the merger of islands.

Luo Di observed it roughly for a while, but felt helpless in his heart.

"This island is quite big, but it is also quite troublesome to investigate..."

He also used his knowledge to investigate in advance, but there was no unexpected discovery.

"Devil clone!"

In order to speed up the investigation, Luo Di could only summon the demon clone.

And it's still clones and clones, infinite shadow clones.

Almost instantly, hundreds of demon clones gathered around him.

"Go!"

With an order, they swarmed out.

……

Two hours later.

Just when Luo Di was about to give up.

But a piece of information came back to my mind.

"Finally, I made a discovery!"

He was slightly happy, his feet moved, his body turned into an afterimage, and the next moment he came to the side of a demon clone.

There is a very abrupt depression at the foot.

It is estimated to be about the size of a basketball.

The slanting sunlight just penetrated into it, emitting a slightly dazzling light.

There's something inside!

Luo Di bent down and reached out to touch it. After a long time, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and there was also a hint of vigilance in his heart.

There is an aura of demonic power down there!

Devil Fruit?

People who ate devil fruits?

Or...an object that 'ate' a Devil Fruit?

Generally speaking, the third possibility is more likely.
