One Piece: My Villain Identity Has Been Exposed

Chapter 104-The City of Phoenix

“Yes, it’s not a good decision to separate now.”

Laubran agreed.

Crocodile squinted at Sherlock:

“So Houston, what are your plans?”

“Let’s go, take a look on the island.”

Sherlock took off the gas mask and walked to the front of the team.

He Ling trot to follow him, grabbing the corner of his clothes.

Sherlock looked at her sideways:

“Follow up.”

He Ling nodded, her eyes extremely firm.

A group of people walked into the forest along the road. The trees here are very tall. Each tree needs 30 people to embrace. The crown of the tree is even more unattainable. Even the half-giant Morbi is only tenth of the size of the trees. One height.

In addition to tall trees, there are various plants and insects in the forest.

These insects all have orange Madara dots on their bodies, emitting golden light, and their bodies are translucent.

He Ling stretched out her hand, and the insect passed directly through the palm of her hand.

It feels like in two worlds.

“These creatures are probably no longer anymore. This is just an afterimage.”

Pipicia explained to herself, of course Holling couldn’t hear it.

Other pirates also curiously experienced the sensation of being passed through the body by insects, essentially without feeling, but they found it strange.

“How is this going?”

Crocodile asked.

Sherlock repeated Pipicia’s words:

“These creatures are probably just afterimages.”

“Then they are dead?”

He Ling was suddenly lost.

Sherlock nodded slightly and moved on.

There is a clear stream deep in the forest, and animals such as deer, rabbits, wild boars, and marmots are drinking water by the side of the stream.

They also have orange Madara dots on them.

“Don’t we see the past?”

Sherlock thought, picked up the dead branches that fell on the ground, and threw them over.

The branch fell among the animals, and the drinking animals raised their heads, glanced at the pirates, and continued to drink water.

It feels like they do exist, not afterimages.

Sherlock didn’t want to study them in depth, and through the dense forest, a city-state appeared in front of him.

“Unexpectedly, there are city-states on this island.”

Kom sighed, even if it was not recorded in such detail in that book.

Tall and towering white buildings stand in front of the palace, supported by countless huge pillars to the clouds, above the palace is a white statue of the phoenix.

Below the Phoenix is ​​a tall clock tower, and the clock stopped at 17:30.

The statues, palaces, and various buildings on the ground floor are all wrapped in orange light, as if a golden layer has been added.

At the forefront of the palace is an orange lake, the lake is quiet, reflecting the palace in it.

The only thing that makes everyone feel weird is that this city-state is too quiet.

It seems that all this is a picture scroll, or the freeze frame of a certain frame in a movie fragment, making people invisible to the passage of time.

“What a strange city.”

Hall said and looked at Sherlock, “Captain, is this an empty city?”

Empty city? Impossible. The streets of this city are spotless. At first glance, someone is cleaning it. If it is an empty city, it is only possible that no humans have existed since it was built, but these houses are obviously for humans to live in… Sherlock thought about it and thought it was here. Very weird.

It is best to go around, after all, the ancestor of the Phoenix is ​​not its own goal.

What Sherlock is looking for is the ancestor of the unicorn. According to the information provided by Kom and Pipisia, the ancestor of the unicorn is definitely not on the island of twilight.

“Can you bypass this island and go directly to the island where the unicorn is?”

Sherlock asked Pipisia, and Pipisia, after deducting the expenses automatically, said:

“No, this city-state is called the Capital of the Phoenix. It is built on the northern border of the island. Only through the city and through the chain bridge between the two islands can you reach the next island.”

“That’s the copy that had to be hit?”

Sherlock frowned, telling him instinctively that something was waiting for him.

Pipicia squatted on his shoulders and said:

“I have come here. With your luck, you should be able to get something good here, so why bother to leave.”

“Ha ha.”

Sherlock laughed dryly. There are no free pies on this day, there are only traps.

Sherlock is always very cautious about unknown things. After all, he is a person who has died once, a rare rebirth, he cherishes more than anyone else.

“Kom, is there a city on the island of twilight?”

“The ancient books only record the place where there is an island at dusk, and there is no mention of the city.”

Kom has drawn the outline of the city on his notebook, recording the mysterious and peaceful city state, the fortress in the sky, like a town outlined in the illusion.

“Let’s go.”

Crocodile took the lead and Mr.1 followed him.

Lao Sha and No. 1 Devil Fruit can’t use their abilities, and they still maintain their honey confidence. Am I being too cautious… Sherlock secretly slandered and followed in Crocodile’s footsteps.

Suddenly, he heard the rustle in the forest. The sound was very small. If it weren’t for the Observation Haki, he wouldn’t be able to hear it.

He turned his face and looked in the direction of the sound source.

“Who?”

The pirates turned their heads vigilantly and raised their weapons.

“Don’t, don’t shoot, it’s me.”

When Eugene’s voice came, everyone became more vigilant.

Until Eugene walked out of the forest, his body did not change. He was still the tall Eugene with a beard and his beloved hip flask hanging from his waist.

“Eugene, are you okay?”

The pirates were surprised and delighted.

Eugene nodded, patted his beer belly and smiled:

“After I came in, I got lost. I just saw a group of people and thought it must be you, so I followed. Haha, I didn’t expect that my pioneer would fall to the end.”

“Eugene, lucky you kid, you didn’t get the purple mist!”

Hall said, pressing his elbow against Eugene’s broad chest.

The other pirates also laughed.

Eugene paused, looked at the glorious city-state in front of him, and exclaimed:

“We finally found it. There should be treasures in this city.”

“You have to go in to find out.”

Sherlock said, patted Eugene on the shoulder.

“It’s great to see you alive.”

Eugene grinned and showed white teeth, and scratched the curled blond hair:

“Hahaha, let the captain worry, sorry.”

“It’s fine, let’s go.”

The crowd followed Crocodile into the quiet town.

The moment they stepped into this phoenix city, the clock on the clock tower began to turn.

Tick ​​to tick to tick to tick to tick–

Sherlock noticed a line of white doves flying out of the bell tower.

People in various costumes walked out of municipal buildings, hostels, and street shops. They either sat by the wishing pool and started chatting, or squatted on the ground and sprinkled white bread crumbs.
