The desert prime minister in the pirate

The night in the slums of downtown is quiet and eerie.Except for the crescent moon on the dark curtain, there is no other light.However, less than 200 meters away, the bustling city center was still brightly lit and bustling with people.

The cold wind howling on the gravel road, and from time to time you can hear the rustling of dead branches.

The stains and garbage on the road were mixed with used newspapers everywhere.Groups of rats scuttled back and forth on the deserted roadside.

Rats are huge, as thick as an adult's forearm, and they are numerous and active.

It was already midnight, and unlike the tall and prosperous city center, the eaves here were terrifying, and the surrounding houses were as quiet as a cemetery.

Wearing a black robe, Jiaodu took advantage of the night to walk through the quiet gravel road. The surrounding darkness was like a beast's mouth that chose people to eat.

Kakuzu didn't linger much and ran straight along a path.The whole figure is like a bat hunting in the dark, vigorous and swift.

...

The houses outside are uninhabitable because they are damp. Poor people generally live near a few abandoned churches in the slums. It is dry and high-lying. Although it is not a good place, it can be a little more comfortable.

But as the city went deeper, the sights along the way surprised even a hard-hearted person like him.

Outside the shacks built with debris along the abandoned church, there were all people with long black spots on their bodies. Some were still alive, but most were dead.

Kakuzu stopped running involuntarily, and when he saw the symptoms on the corpse clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.

'The living lymph nodes were swollen, and the corpses were covered with black spots. Some corpses were simply purple-black.There were local skin ulcers and vomit wrapped in old newspapers. '

"This is the plague, there's a plague in this damn place..."

There was already a hint of trembling in Kakuzu's cold murmur, and a chill rose in his heart.

He is an excellent medical ninja. With rich medical knowledge, he knows that this plague has a more famous name [Black Death]

The blue chakra flames came out of the body, stretched and solidified, and two thin layers of chakra isolation film lightly adhered to Kakuzu's body.

Kakudu closed his eyes tightly and tapped his eyebrows with his index finger.The chakra on the soles of the feet was like sonar, probing around.At this time, Kakuzu's perspective changed from No. 1 to God's perspective. The entire perspective was blue, and all creatures within a radius of 1.1 kilometers showed vivid silhouettes.

"It's not enough..." Kakuzu frowned and increased his chakra output.

The perspective in Kakuzu's mind became clearer and clearer, so clear that even the rats in the sewer could clearly see it.

"That's not enough..." Veins popped up on his forehead, and his five hearts continued to increase chakra output.

The secondary microscopic world was finally revealed to Kakuzu. A large number of rat fleas were distributed in dark corners, on corpses on the street, and on roadside rats.

There are too many rats in the sewer... No, no, no, something is wrong.

Kakuzu couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. As an experienced black 'doctor', he still had a certain understanding of things like rat fleas.

Rat fleas are parasites that live in vivo, which means that these rat fleas can only live on animals with body temperature.

There should be no rat fleas on the dead rats and carcasses!

Why?Why are there piles of rat fleas in those dark, empty corners?Why are there still rat fleas on dead bodies?

"It's over here..."

This super parasite that was different from ordinary fleas on the Grand Line was definitely a weapon that spread the Black Death.

The Black Death ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages, killing about 5000 million people. It is still uncertain how powerful the Black Death was on the Grand Line.

However, the rat fleas, which are the vectors of the Black Death, have shown exceptionally good resilience in terms of vitality and environmental adaptability, which is definitely not a good thing.

"We can't stay in this place anymore." Kakuzu pulled up his mask and was about to leave the slum.

On the way back, Kakuzu discovered many corpses one after another.

What was even more strange was that many of the corpses were wearing tattered beggar's clothes.

The shoes on the feet have also been replaced by old shoes that don't fit, but a small section of very elegant woolen socks is exposed at the ankle?

There was something weird everywhere here, but Kakuzu didn't have time to do any more investigation. He just took out his camera and took pictures of these suspicious corpses, and then compiled the information later.

This is already the fourth slum that Kakuzu has searched for.

There was no sign of Kobra at all.He may have heard about the destruction of the hotel and hid himself.

But everything is still under control, Kakuzu has already planned for this situation.

There is a clock tower in the center of the city. If two people accidentally lose contact, they will wait on the top of the clock tower between four and five o'clock every morning.

The reason why we came to the slums to search was because we were worried that news from the slums would be delayed and news of the big explosion in the city would not be able to reach them.It has always been Kakuzu's style to be thorough in everything.

I just didn’t expect such a big mess to come out of the slums.

...

The next morning, Kakuzu ate a few compressed biscuits that were as hard as stone and tasted like chewing wax. He drank half a glass of water and arrived at the bell tower early.

From four o'clock to five o'clock, the cold wind blew for a full hour, and Kobra, the man who had killed a thousand swords, arrived belatedly.

"Hey, it's early for Kakuzu!" Kobra had already changed into a set of local clothes and walked towards Kakuzu on the rooftop with a silly smile.

"madness."

Seeing Kobra walking towards him in local clothes, Kakuzu frowned and scolded him mercilessly.

"Ah, didn't I arrive on time?" Cobra's smile froze unnaturally, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Do you know why I asked you to dress up as a tourist? It's because the City of Seven Waters has a huge passenger flow, and there are people from all walks of life. If I ask you to dress up as a tourist, as long as you don't do anything too outrageous, you can easily blend in with the crowd. "

Kakuzu crossed his arms and stood upright, like a vigorous old pine.An hour of cold wind had no effect on his spirit.

"I wear local folk costumes because I can act as a local well. Do you think you are very smart when you wear local costumes? It's neither fish nor fowl!"

"Those indigenous people who have lived there for decades can see the clues about you at a glance!"

Kakuzu's face showed no trace of joy at being reunited with his companions, only solemnity and solemnity.
