Navigation: My 300-year plan has been exposed

And that is indeed the case.

Under Maokai’s leadership, the group came to an open plain.

In the center of the plain is a huge altar. Around the altar are nine huge stone pillars, on which are carved various strange runes. These runes look very old, as if they were written in ancient times.

“If you pass the test of the altar, you will get the Shadow Mask, but……”Maokai paused for a moment.

“If you fail the test, stay and become the nourishment of this land.”

“So scary!”

Nami looked at Maokai in horror. She had already guessed what the test was.

The Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other and came to the center of the altar. They had already prepared themselves mentally.

At the moment when everyone stood firm, the altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then the nine stone pillars lit up at the same time.

“here we go!”

Maokai shouted excitedly

On the altar, countless runes began to flash. Then, as if alive, these runes flew out from the stone pillars and attacked the Straw Hat Pirates.

Robin shouted in surprise:”These runes are alive!”

Brooke also said in horror:”They are too fast, we can’t dodge them at all.”

Luffy laughed wildly and excitedly:”This is great! Finally we can have a great fight!”

Luffy stretched out his right hand and grabbed the runes flying towards him.

“Rubber machine gun!”

Luffy waved his arms and knocked the runes away

But those runes seemed endless, and their attack power was getting stronger and stronger.

In less than three minutes, the Straw Hat Pirates were beaten to a pulp, and even Luffy was choked to death.

Nami shouted in despair:”Are we going to be wiped out?”

“You are too weak. You are not qualified to obtain the Shadow Mask with such strength. You should just be content to be the nourishment of this land.” Maokai commented coldly.

Franky’s face changed when he heard this, and he began to think about how to escape from this dangerous place.

He doesn’t want to be fertilizer.

At this moment, Brook, who was frightened and pale, suddenly rushed up

Brook rushed towards Maokai and roared,”You damn tree man! How dare you look down on us! We are the men who want to become the Pirate King. How can you defeat us with just a test?”

“The soul roars!”

The long sword in Brook’s hand burst out with a strange soul power

After feeling Brook’s soul power, Maokai was stunned for a moment

This kid actually awakened? boom!

The huge branch hit Brook, but Brook dodged the attack nimbly.

The Straw Hat Pirates were a little surprised to see Brook dodge Maokai’s attack.

“Brook is so strong?”

“This old man is keeping it to himself!”

Franky was thoughtful. He finally understood why the Saint deliberately invited Brook to join the Straw Hat Pirates. That’s it!

Only under extreme conditions can people unleash unprecedented potential. This sentence is vividly reflected in Brook.

He is not a genius, nor a strong man, he is just a poor man struggling in despair.

Fifty years ago, his companions fell one by one, and he could only watch helplessly as death took away their souls. In the end, he could not even protect his own body.

During the long years of loneliness, he was like a walking corpse, drifting in the foggy sea, with only the sword that had accompanied him for many years and the promise he made to Lab in his heart to support him.

However, it was such a fragile soul that burst out with unimaginable power at this moment!

“”Soul out of the body!” Brooke screamed, his bones crackling like a collapsing castle. The golden soul fire gushed out from his empty eye sockets, turning into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky!

Maokai’s huge body trembled, and he looked up at the golden lightning that shot up into the sky in disbelief. The lightning contained a powerful soul force that even made him, a tree spirit who had lived for hundreds of years, feel palpitations.

“Can the soul actually leave the body?”

He had always thought that these guys from Qinghai were just some ignorant clowns, but he didn’t expect that there were such powerful souls hidden among them!

Brook’s soul drew a golden arc in the air, so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye. In an instant, the golden lightning came in front of Maokai, and with a resolute killing intent, it plunged into Maokai’s chest! (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Maokai’s huge body trembled violently, and his thick vines waved wildly, trying to drive out the invaders. He felt a burning energy raging in his body, and that energy carried a strong soul fluctuation, as if it was going to burn his soul out!

“ah……”Maokai let out a painful roar, and his huge body fell to the ground, crushing countless trees and stirring up dust all over the sky.

“”Well done, Brook!” Luffy shouted excitedly. He didn’t expect Brook to have such a unique skill. He defeated this powerful enemy with one move.

“Soul attack?” Robin frowned slightly. She was well-read and had heard of soul attack, but as far as she knew, only extremely special devil fruit users or certain special races could master soul attack. Brook’s soul power was obviously beyond her cognition…

“Don’t be happy too soon, Luffy!” Zoro drew out three swords, looked at Maokai who was lying on the ground with a serious expression, and reminded him:”This guy is not dead yet, and the soul attack consumes a lot of energy, Brook may not be able to hold on for long.”

As soon as Zoro finished speaking, Maokai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up!

Maokai’s huge body was covered with countless fine cracks, and green blood oozed out of the cracks like flowing venom. He roared, waving his huge vines, and frantically attacked everything around him.

“Brook, are you okay?”Luffy asked worriedly. When he saw Maokai standing up, his first reaction was to worry about Brook’s safety.

Brook’s voice came from Maokai’s body, weak but firm:”I’m fine, Luffy! This guy’s soul defense is very strong, I can only suppress him temporarily, you hurry up!”

“Rubber machine gun!”Luffy launched another attack, and countless fists with powerful force hit Maokai’s huge body like raindrops.

However, these attacks still failed to cause any substantial damage to Maokai. The fists hit Maokai’s hard bark, leaving only shallow marks that were quickly repaired by the natural energy in Maokai’s body.

“Too weak! This kind of attack is not even enough to tickle me!”Maokai laughed wildly.

“Damn it!” Luffy gritted his teeth, he knew that his current attack was insignificant to Maokai, but Brook was still struggling inside Maokai, he couldn’t just give up!

At this moment, Brook’s voice came from Maokai again. This time, his tone was full of excitement and anticipation:

“Luffy, you are the one who possesses the power of the Nika Fruit! Think about your dreams, think about the freedom you pursue, and the power in your body will be fully released!”

“Nika Fruit?” Luffy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a series of pictures flashed in his mind. It was the content of Robin’s translation of the diary at the banquet, and also the description of the Nika Fruit by his great-grandfather whom he had never met.

“Freedom, liberation, and…laughter!”

Luffy’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an unprecedented power gushed out of his body!

“Ha ha ha ha……”Luffy laughed up to the sky, and his body began to change. His originally black hair gradually turned white, his pupils turned red, and his whole body exuded a strange light.

“this……”

Maokai looked at Luffy’s changes in horror. He felt a powerful force from Luffy, a force that even frightened him, a tree spirit who had lived for hundreds of years!

“Is this the power of the Nika Fruit? Maokai was terrified, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
