One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

Time passed minute by minute.

As dusk fell, darkness gradually swallowed up everything.

This is the main tone of the deep sea!

The original ancient ruins looked magnificent in the sunset, but now they looked a bit eerie.

A cluster of empty, dilapidated buildings.

According to Moria, there seem to be many "ancient corpses" buried underground here.

What the hell is going on here?

With doubts, everyone took out the lighting corals prepared in advance and used them as flashlights to try to explore further.

Not long after, a sudden change occurred——

Uta's singing fruit ability was out of control, and a huge noise penetrated everyone's eardrums.

"?!"

"Yes, it's something similar to Totemjika!"

"The Great Demon King... is the one recorded in Noah's internal records, the one who caused the destruction of ancient cities!"

"..."

Uta was obviously affected, and even the word order was slightly confused.

Fortunately, she recovered quickly.

The noise did not appear again, and Uta panted heavily and murmured:

"There are other 'things' in this ruin."

"..."

This is not a "warning".

In fact, even Uta himself is not sure which side has the louder "voice" compared with his side and the unknown demon king.

So she just restated her judgment.

Upon hearing this, both Margao and Katakuri paused.

Obviously, the [red-haired] daughter is not simple either, and seems to be able to feel many "extra" things.

The two couldn't help but feel curious.

The group of people gathered by the [Devil], whether Nico Robin or Uta, seem to be inextricably linked to "ancient times".

What does he want to do?

Explore the "text of history" and "the blank 100 years"?

The archeology island O'Hara once did this, and ended up completely disappearing under the fire of the Demon-Slaying Order.

However, if we add the strength and madness of the [Devil], can we really compete with the World Government?

It’s really concerning...

Both Margao and Katakuri are thinking about their respective pirate groups.

What kind of existence are the [Devils] group to [Whitebeard] or [Big Mom]?

hostility?Possible allies?Or a competitor?

"..."

While thinking, Crocodile not far away suddenly spoke.

"Hey!"

His voice attracted the attention of everyone present.

Following what Crocodile expected, everyone saw blood stains on the ground.

Everyone approached slowly.

The domineering power of each person's knowledge spread, and they sensed everything around them.

As the ship's doctor of [Whitebeard], Margao naturally knows more.

"It's 'fresh', and there are still traces of dragging."

Following the veins of the blood, everyone's eyes glanced into the distance.

The light that illuminates the coral cannot penetrate deeply, so all that is visible in the distance is darkness.

Corpses, big devils, bloodstains, darkness, ruins...

Many elements are mixed together.

For a time, the already dark and scary ancient ruins became even more eerie and terrifying.

……

"Wow!"

Feeling this atmosphere, Perona finally felt a little happier.

As the "Princess Mononoke" who ate the Lingling Fruit, she likes this kind of place the most.

If you ask her where she most wants to travel, Perona's answer will definitely be: a dark and damp castle, preferably with ghosts wandering around.

But on the contrary, Uta didn't like it very much.

"It's too dark!"

Humming the tune softly, a few colorful notes popped up, diluting the gloomy feeling.

Perona felt super unhappy about this.

Uta had already tormented her before, now again? !

"Hey, you guy!"

Perona stepped forward and grabbed Uta's face, emphasizing: "Do you understand the beauty of this environment? Don't ruin the scenery!"

"is it?"

Uta's cheeks were pinched and he grinned, "But I don't like it!"

"I don't care if you like it or not!"

Perona became more and more angry, rubbing Uta's face back and forth.

Feel good?

wrong!

Perona wondered, how to deal with Uta?

The ghost of negativity doesn't seem to be working on her, then...

Perona found a breakthrough and suddenly asked: "Hey, how old are you?"

"..."

Uta answered truthfully.

Perona was happy when she heard this. She pointed her finger at Uta's nose and said with a strange smile:

"Holo ho lo ho lo, I'm four years older than you. I'm older, so you have to listen to me!"

"is it?"

Uta opened his mouth, spit out a "sledgehammer" level eighth note, and carried it on his shoulder.

He tilted his head and repeated with a grin: "But, I don't like it either!"

Perona: "..."

Look at the musical note sledgehammer, and then look at Uta who is smiling very happily.

"certainly--"

Perona broke out in cold sweat, took a deep breath, and rubbed Uta's face.

"Of course I have to take care of my younger sister, just follow the style you like~!"

boom!

Uta then put down the eighth note and smashed several cracks in the ground.

Seeing this scene, Perona had even more cold sweat on her forehead.

Uta didn't care at all.

She could hear Perona's melody. Although she was a little willful and eccentric, she was not difficult to get along with and was a very good person.

At the same time, Perona wanted to return to Moria.

But when she looked around, she found that there was no one around.

"what?!"

Perona was startled and said in horror: "Where are they! Where have they gone?"

She liked spooky places, but that didn't mean she wanted to put herself in danger.

Uta was very calm and replied with a smile:

"They went to look for clues separately, let's join them too!"

"Um……"

Perona looked at the colorful musical notes around her and was about to refuse, but then she saw the musical note hammer in Uta's hand.

He immediately stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"

……

While Uta was communicating cordially with Perona.

Crocodile and Robin, Margao and Katakuri, Lindsay and Moriah, the three teams formed two by two and began to split up.

Needless to say, the first group is also an old pair;

The second group is to monitor each other and not want to be taken advantage of by the other party;

As for Moria in the third group, she was "unlucky" and was forced to act with the [Devil].

……

Which group will be the first to discover the "clue"?

It's the third group.

Lindsay half-forced herself to pull Moriah along, following the "clues" perceived by the ancient sight and color domineering, all the way in-depth.

Finally, after opening a sealed stone door, more than a dozen seriously injured Dragon Palace City guards were discovered.

Most of them passed out, and only a few were still conscious.

"Lin...Mr. Lindsay?"

After seeing Lindsay's face, the sober people struggled and used all their strength to issue a warning.

"Be careful, this is a trap!"

……

The first group, Crocodile and Nico Robin.

The real purpose of the two is not to search for the source of the blood stains, but to find "ancient texts" and the "truth" of the ancient ruins themselves.

Under Robin's guidance, she and Crocodile gradually went deeper.

"According to Uta, there is also a 'Totemjika-like' demon king in this ruins."

"They are both ancient creations. Although they are not as exaggerated as ancient weapons, they are enough to destroy an island."

Robin analyzed:

"This is probably the purpose of the Beast Pirates."

"But how did they find clues about something that even Fish-Man Island didn't know about?"

"Who leaked the news?"

Many questions came to mind.

Crocodile was also deep in thought about this.

"perhaps……"

He raised an interesting conjecture, "Is it the World Government? The World Government wanted to stop the primitive people, so it released the news and made the Four Emperors become the 'resistance' for the primitive people."

"Probably!"

Robin nodded slightly.

Although they are very aware of Crocodile's ambitions, after having been together for so long, the two can be regarded as some kind of "companions".

After all, with Mr. Lindsay here, of course I can relax!

Robin thought of something interesting, turned back to Crocodile and said excitedly:

"is it possible--

Not finished.

In Robin's sight, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared, right behind Crocodile!

The black shadow held a huge full moon machete and locked onto Crocodile's head.

It's a sneak attack!

Robin's expression changed, and Crocodile realized something.

Is it a sneak attack?

Crocodile had no time to turn around, and at the same time he remembered the scene when he was sneak attacked in the Capital of Seven Waters.

He raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "No, are you still coming?"

Swish!

The huge black shadow swung the sword, but the blade ultimately failed.

On the other side, Crocodile jumped up and turned into a sandstorm sweeping the air!

"Hehehehe..."

He turned around, his eyes locked on the huge man diagonally below, and saw the other man's four huge ivory ornaments.

He lit a cigar and sneered gloomily: "Unfortunately, I can't come this time!"
