They have trained hard for a year and some have trained for many years, they trained so together, suffered so many injuries, and they promised each other to advance and retreat together, all of which were utterly desolate in the face of this harsh reality.
“They made their choice…Now, it’s up to us!”
Dante raised his spirits and became serious, and said, “I’m a swordsman with a Doriki Value of 700, I am powerful enough to handle most beasts. But I have no survival experience in the wilderness, so I need help! Anyone willing to join me?”
After a long conversation last night, Dante still went this way. This is the path he chose himself, and no one is qualified to interrupt.
Soon, someone walked out of the crowd.
“I Am!”
This person is a Zoan Ability User, Rowen still felt greatly surprised when he saw him transforming back and forth between a monkey and a human in the playground.
“I am Saru Saru no Mi(Monkey-Monkey Fruit)·Golden-Haired Monkey Form Ability user! I am good at climbing trees, my sense of smell and hearing is three times that of ordinary people, and I can tell whether the fruit is poisonous or not. I can help you!”
With the first one out, naturally, there would be a second one.
Soon, Dante took a group of ten people and left towards the east.
The remaining people either chose to travel alone or travel in groups.
As for Rowen…
“I am a Logia Fruit Ability User, so I am going to find something to kill!”
Seeing Rowen’s smiling face and hearing his words, the group of people was left in awe as they watched him go into the deserted forest.
When they boarded the island yesterday afternoon, everyone saw what kind of land the Hell Island is.
To the Eastside of it is a tropical rainforest and a huge active volcano spraying tons of magma into the sky and it can start a forest fire anytime! The magma is cooled and accumulated year after year, and have created hills up to 100 meters high everywhere!
And to the Westside is an ice field, which does not look as dangerous as the Eastside, but when they were landing on the Island yesterday, they saw two giant beasts over three hundred meters in size fighting bitterly in the ice field, tearing Icebergs with their sharp teeth and claws!
The victor, in a very violent way, ripped the head off the defeated one and smashed it on the sea not far from Battleship, sending up huge waves. It can be seen from their thick fleece body that they are not any passing visitors, but the long-time inhabitants of the Iceberg.
As for the remaining area between these two lands……
Coincidentally, this is a Thunderstorm area.
It seems that because of the climate on the left and right, the thunder and lightning here strike down like rain, never stopping.
They saw an Orochi over a Thousand Meters in length coiled around the top of a high mountain at the surface, only to be struck by a transparent white Thunder Pillar falling from the sky the next moment!
The Orochi, which had survived, hissed and wailed and fell from the mountain. Then …… it got tore into thousand pieces by the upcoming lighting attacks!
With poisonous purple snake blood flowed down the ditch, from the bottom of the mountain, all the way to the mouth of the sea and the bad smell spread out everywhere! Until now, the number of sea creatures poisoned by the snake’s blood continues to increase.
This is the Hell Island!
A hell on earth that combines extreme weather, brutal beasts, and poisonous plagues!
Rowen chose to go to the most dangerous Thunderstorm Area. The Recruits had no choice but to watch him leave. It was not that they wanted to give up on following him but they had no chance to walk out of Thunder Rain alive.
…
Three days later, In a Deserted Forest inside the Thunderstorm area.
Boom! Click!!
A Thunderstorm sound filled the ears as a bolt of lightning hit a Beetle like Monster. Suddenly, the thunder and lightning in the sky resembled a river as they were drawn and bombed the Monsters. By the time the lightning dissipated, the Monster twitched a few times…
And then it got up like nothing had happened and continue to attack Rowen!
“What the hell… this Thunder Resistance is too strong!!”
Although injuries couldn’t be seen on Rowen’s body, the fatigue revealed in his eyes was still very obvious.
This is his third day in the wilderness…
Having only eaten a piece of meat for three days, Rowen’s hungry eyes are filled with blood.
At first, he thought he would be comfortable in this Thunderstorm area with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but the truth soon gave him a big slap in the face.
Not to mention being comfortable, he now has to be careful not to get killed by setting fire to his body even when he discharges the electricity!!
His Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities are completely restrained here!
It’s not that it can’t be used, but once the power is used, the thunder in the sky will be attracted by the current he stimulates, and they will rain down upon his location!
As a Thunder-Lighting Human, Rowen can guarantee himself to not get struck by lightning, but in the natural world under the intense bombing of powerful currents, he simply can not move …… as a Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability User, he is an oversized lightning rod, disaster will follow him wherever he goes!
And it will soon catch up with him!
Moreover, there are no plants in the barren forest, and he wouldn’t be able to find any edible stems even if he digs three feet underground… Those trees actually died early. They are still standing here because the lightning and high temperature roasted them into a strange and hard crystal.
Speaking of this, someone might ask, what should animals eat in this barren forest?
The answer is naturally meat!
So a new question came…
Thunder and lightning are continuously falling from the sky and they can strike anywhere in this area. What kind of Animals can live and multiply here?
Naturally, these are the animals whose Thunder Resistance is outrageous!!!
Like this monster in front of me…
The Beetle is two meters tall and has muscle knots on its body. It is a very muscular monster! But its strength of not more than 1000 Doriki and it is not strong for Rowen. If it is placed outside this place then he would be able to kill him with a slap of his hand.
But in here, It just flicked its head and twitched a few times even after getting hit by 30 Million Volt Lightning Strike plus the lightning attacks that are raining down from the sky. It was like it took a nap and woke up a little disoriented.
The piece of meat he ate yesterday was snatched from another Wolf-Shaped Monster with a horny sickle on its legs and it was the piece of meat from this beetle, so he knew that this beetle could be eaten.
It’s just that its resistance to electricity is too strong, and its ground burrowing speed is as fast as a bird’s flight. Under the premise of being unable to use his Devil Fruit Ability at will, all three beetles he had hunted had escaped, this is the fourth one.
Once the lightning strike failed, Rowen took a deep breath and squeezed his fist as he watched the Meat Block Shaped Beetle leaping towards him.
“Fortunately, he is not Enel. If Enel had been here instead of being in the Sky Island then forget about ruling anything, he would have died of hunger here.”
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user is incomparably powerful in the outside world, but the only advantage he has here is that he doesn’t have to worry about dying from an unknown lightning strikes, besides that… he has no advantages!
If Enel were here, starving to death would have been his only ending.
Rowen clenched his fist and a piece of muscle knotted like a python, making his arm look bigger. Then Rowen looked at the Beetle Monster and roared while smashing his fist on its head.
Boom… Click…
Bang Rumble!!
The sound of cracking armor and odd churning sounds were drowned out by thunder as Rowen’s fist reached into the other insectoid’s mouthparts and emerged from the top of its head. The white walnut-like brain plasma and brain matter splattered and made his hands full of greasy and viscous liquid, which made him look extremely vicious.
This beetle has an upright ape body structure similar to that of a human, and the pectoralis and biceps are clearly visible. From a distance, it looks like a strong man in a beetle doll costume. But the four extra arms on the ribs and the hideous insect organs on the head proved that it was not a human being.
“Chiji!!”
Suffering so badly, the Beetle shook its limbs frantically, trying to break free.
Boom!!
At this time, Rowen grabbed the tender belly of the Beetle with his backhand and threw it over and smashed it to the ground, then he put his foot on the Beetle’s head and completely crushed its head.
“This bastard, it’s finally dead…”
Just like how a bullet fired into the brain can restrain all movement as the recipient would be dead, Rowen’s planned to use his fist to restrain all the resistance that the Beetle had!
But the only question is, who said that the weakness of a bug is in its head? …
“Jiji!”
Suddenly, the Beetle’s neck shot up as it completly disregarded the injured parts, and without taking any action against Rowen, the Beetle lay down on the ground and ran away with six legs. Its body fluids flowed out from the breach in its neck, spreading all the way, but its speed was quite amazing!
Rowen suddenly had a confused expression on his face.
This scene in front of Rowen is filled with a sense of horror which is tantamount to a normal person having his head chopped off with blood gushing out like a fountain, and then the same decapitated human running wildly at a speed that can compete with Usain Bolt in a 100-Meter Race!
“He’s not dead, are you kidding me?!!!”
Rowen immediately jumped up and ran after the Beetle.
If he let that Beetle get away then he would have nothing to eat today!
