People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

Western Sea, Papalic Island.

As the last stop on the Western Sea's Great Sea Route, Papalic Island's prosperity is matched by no other island in the Western Sea.

However, in recent days, unusual weather has occurred frequently on the island.

A few days ago, a sudden blizzard froze the entire island.

Hundreds of people died overnight.

In the past two days, there have been continuous storms and three extreme weather conditions, which have made the residents of the island unbearable.

Many people had to move away with their families on merchant ships.

Crane and Garp stood at the front of the ship's side and happened to see this scene happening on the island.

Dark clouds covering the sky covered the entire island.

Wind, rain, snow and thunder and lightning alternately raged on the island. From a distance, it was simply a scene of purgatory on earth.

"Pump up the power and head towards the island at full speed!"

As marines, neither Garp nor Crane could watch civilians being injured without doing anything.

Seeing the arrival of the navy, a group of civilians huddled together at the port for warmth cried with joy.

"Navy! The navy is coming!"

"Honey... wake up quickly, we can be saved... we can be saved!"

……

Looking closer, the port is even more shocking.

Groups of bonfires were almost extinguished in the wind and snow, and everyone was wrapped in three or four thick cotton clothes.

A little further away from the port, you can clearly see human-shaped snow sculptures scattered at every intersection leading here.

"You are responsible for helping to resettle this group of refugees to other nearby islands. Lieutenant General Garp and I will go down to see what is happening on the island."

"Yes!"

As soon as the two got off the warship, a group of people surrounded them.

"Navy adults, you are finally here."

An old man enthusiastically held He's hand and burst into tears, as if he had seen the savior.

Looking at the group of refugees in front of him who were wrapped like balls, with only a pair of eyes exposed, He asked with some confusion: "What happened on this island?"

"Sir, it's a snow monster!"

Before the old man could say anything, a young man next to him shouted hurriedly.

"Snow monster?"

"Master Marine, don't listen to his nonsense. Ever since it snowed that night, he has been saying that there is a snow monster on the mountain. Later, the village organized people to search the mountain twice, but nothing was found."

"Who said that! A huge footprint was obviously found!"

"Well, that's just a coincidence. What kind of creature can make footprints that are more than 50 meters long and wide? And it only has one foot. Only the weirdo with the hood will believe what you say."

A 50-meter footprint?

He was horrified, and at the same time he thought of someone.

San Juan Hungry Wolf!

This 180-meter-tall giant might not be able to make footprints more than 50 meters long and wide with his terrifying size.

"Can you take us to the place where the footprints were found?"

He was keenly aware that this was not a coincidence as the old man said, if it were judged by the gods.

Papalic Island is not far from Black Iron Town.

Since a god who brings fire disasters can suddenly appear in O'Hara, why can't a god who brings wind and snow disasters appear on Papalic Island?

Perhaps, this is the opportunity Spangdyne was talking about.

"of course can!"

When the young man saw that they also believed in him, he jumped for joy.

After passing through the small town that looked like a dead city, the three of them walked around in the mountains and forests several times, but the young people still could not find the location of the giant footprints.

"How could it be? I was here before, I was here before!"

The young man was sweating profusely, fearing that the two navy officers would say that he was a liar.

However, at this moment, neither He nor Garp focused on the footprints. They saw the looming light hidden behind the big trees covered with silver.

"Let's go over there and see."

The young man, who was still scratching his head in distress, saw the two navy adults leaving to mind their own business, and hurriedly chased after them.

The tree curtains spread out layer by layer, and a house located on the edge of the cliff, almost unaffected by the wind and snow, appeared in front of the three of them.

In the dark wind and snow, the lights in the house looked extremely dazzling, and the figures inside looked even more strange on this island.

"This, here..."

The young man seemed very surprised when he saw this house. His mouth trembled for a long time but he could only utter two words.

“Is there anything wrong with this house?”

"Two adults, let's get out of here quickly!"

"There's a ghost in the house!"

The young man shivered as he stepped back, and before He and Garp could stop him, he disappeared in a flash.

ghost?

Crane did not stop the young man from leaving.

She was not worried that there was a ghost in the house, and that a fight would injure the young man. What she suspected was that the ghost in the house was not a ghost at all.

but God!

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why only the house is not covered with ice and snow.

Garp is in front and Crane is behind.

The two of them approached the house cautiously. They also tried to use the Observation Color Haki to detect the situation inside, but for some reason, the perception range of the Observation Color Haki could only stick tightly around the body.

After trying it for a while, I gave up.

When he came to the door, He found that the height of the house seemed to be much higher than the surrounding ground.

Before she could take a closer look, Garp had already opened the door.

The room was very small, probably less than twenty square meters. There was a person lying on the bed, and an old man with a skinny face was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding water to the person on the bed.

The old man's clothes were thin and he was as skinny as a stick. His wrinkled skin clung to his bones, making him look particularly strange.

When he saw the person on the bed, Garp's eyes almost dropped.

"dragon!"

he yelled, rushing to the bed.

"Dad..."

Long raised his head unusually weakly, and was extremely surprised to see Garp arriving.

"How will you be here?"

The two said in unison, asking each other with wide eyes.

"I actually planned to go to Black Iron Town, but I diverted here when I saw that the island was being ravaged by a blizzard."

"You also want to go to Black Iron Town? It's because of Ketu..."

"Shh!"

Garp was halfway through reading his name when Long covered his mouth regardless of the pain all over his body.

Long told Garp and Crane everything he saw and heard on Pallas Island, and emphasized one point in particular to them.

Mortals are not allowed to call gods directly.

What happened on Pallas Island shocked Garp and Crane after hearing what happened.

I couldn't help but feel lucky that I didn't go straight to Black Iron Town to find Sakaski, otherwise the two of them would have turned into White Fire Man in the blink of an eye.

"I picked this thing up from the battlefields of Sakaski and Olvia. Maybe it will be of some help to you."

Long struggled to take out an emerald wrapped in white flames from his pocket.
