One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 262 Zowu

The sea surface in the New World is treacherous, and all natural or unnatural weather conditions are not surprising here. But there are some scenes that are eye-catching enough even if they appear in the new world.

For example, a giant elephant walking in the sea.

Legend has it that in the waters of the New World, when thick fog is shrouded and the waves are rough, occasionally residents living on the shore can see a huge monster in the distant sea, with the sun and moon above its head, and smoke and waves under its feet. Stroll among them.

Many people believe that this is purely the product of spreading rumors. The guy who saw this scene must have lost his head.

There are also some people who believe that there must be some unknown secrets in the vast mist of the new world.

For the "big men" in the new world, the monsters walking on the sea are not "there and there" sea monsters, but real sea monsters.

It was an extremely tall giant elephant that had been wandering around the waters of the New World for unknown reasons. Its body is extremely tall, its skin is full of wrinkles, its eyes have long been empty and lifeless, and the years have left countless marks on its body. No one knows where it comes from, no one knows where it is going, and no one can communicate with it. All I know is that it has been wandering the New World for hundreds of years.

Because of its extremely large body, it is called the "Elephant Lord" by the people sailing on this sea.

The elephant owner's back is more than 10,000 meters away from the sea, but there is a cave above it. The giant elephant's body is big enough to grow forests, cultivate crops, build houses, and even form a country. This country is the famous "Furry Principality". The entire country, and all its people, live on the back of this giant elephant.

Whenever the elephant owner flaps its ears, a gust of wind will blow in the country on his back. When the elephant owner sucks water with his trunk, it will rain in the country on his back. The residents of the Furry Principality rely on their elephants. The Lord's "extreme care" has allowed me to live a relatively stable life despite the ups and downs every year.

A few of them may go to sea to see the outside world, but most of them will spend their lives on the back of their elephant owners.

At this time, Rayleigh was sitting alone in a boat and came to the elephant owner. To ordinary people, the new world is strange and treacherous, but to Rayleigh it is basically the same as traveling.

He notified Shanks in advance of this operation.

However, Shanks was still far away from here, so the two agreed to meet up next to the Elephant Master in a few days.

When he was still young and still a member of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh had boarded Zou. The Roger Pirates gathered four red historical texts and found the location of Rafdru. One of the historical texts was obtained from Zou.

In addition, Roger, Rayleigh and others have also established a deep friendship with the "indigenous residents" of Zou - the fur tribe.

Of course, Kozuki Oden is also an important part of the story between the Roger Pirates and the Fur Tribe.

As a "specialty" of the New World, the fur tribe is also a race where all the people are soldiers. Even the old, weak, women and children of the fur tribe are powerful enough to defeat ordinary pirates in the New World - considering that the pirates in the New World are the absolute elite among pirates from all over the world, such strength is actually not weak.

In addition to their strong physical fitness and physical skills, the fur tribe also has two specialties. The hair on the surface of their bodies can generate extremely powerful electric currents through friction, which can be used to shock enemies and is also an excellent means of fighting.

The fur tribe's unique move "Moon Lion" is the fur tribe's "true form" and its most powerful state. Generally speaking, if you want to enter the state of Moon Leo, you need a full moon to trigger it. In such a state, the fur tribe's strength, speed, and physical strength will be greatly enhanced, but their rationality will be reduced, and they may even go completely crazy and eventually die of exhaustion.

The reason why Morana went into a state of madness after seeing the full moon was because she had the blood of the fur tribe. However, Morana's fur tribe bloodline seems not to be pure, so she is completely unable to control the changes that occur to her, and can only avoid it by not looking at the moon.

Returning to Zuowu this time, Rayleigh was also filled with emotions.

Rayleigh originally thought that he would never see each other again after the Roger Pirates disbanded, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, he would come to Zuowu again.

He came to Zuowu this time for one main purpose. That is, investigating the truth behind the death of Kozuki Oden. "Neko Viper" and "Inuarashi" in the fur tribe are Kozuki Oden's "retainers". If Oden is safe and sound, they may stay in Wano Country or return to Zuo. , but in any case, as long as they are alive, there will definitely be a connection between Wano and Zou.

On the contrary, if there is no news about Oden and Wano Country from Zuo Wu, then Oden is probably in danger.

Reilly's arrival caused a sensation among the entire Zou fur tribe. On the one hand, as the former vice-captain of the "Roger Pirates", Rayleigh himself is "famous" in the new world. Today, it has only been 6 years since the Roger Pirates disbanded and Rayleigh retired to seclusion. He is still quite prestigious in the new world.

On the other hand, he never dreamed that the two cats on Roger's ship, Viper and Inuarashi, would actually become the "kings" of the fur tribe.

When Leili climbed onto the back of the giant elephant, he was soon discovered by the fur tribe warriors standing guard at the city gate.

"Human, where did you come from? What do you want to do?!"

For fur tribe warriors, humans are definitely considered rare animals. Occasionally seeing a human is like seeing a wild giant panda, and it is inevitable that humans will feel a little at a loss.

Therefore, he seemed a little nervous.

"I'm here to see Neko Viper and Inuarashi. Please tell me that 'Pluto' Rayleigh is visiting!"

"Ming, Ming, Ming, Pluto!" This time, he became even more nervous.

The fur tribe warrior had obviously heard of Lei Li's name and heard that Pluto was visiting. He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak. He hurriedly ran all the way to report the news.

After a while, several bells were heard in the city, which meant "welcome".

Then, a tall dog-like fur tribe rode an extremely huge and ferocious crocodile and led a group of fur tribe warriors out of the city, raising a puff of smoke and dust.

This canine fur tribe has mainly brown hair, dark brown ears, a deep suture scar on the left cheek, and a huge fluffy tail trailing behind him. He was wearing a blue French European Duke costume, a burgundy cape, a Western sword on his waist, and a pair of blue sunglasses.

Rayleigh recognized at a glance that the person coming was none other than Inu Arashi.

Inuarashi got off the crocodile, strode forward, and saluted Rayleigh. He still has great respect for the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates. They hadn't seen each other for several years. At this moment, Inuarashi's excitement was beyond words.

"Vice Captain Reilly, I didn't expect to see you again!"

Inuarashi originally thought that once he said goodbye, he would never see Rayleigh and others again.

After all, men at sea are inherently heroic, and the waters of the New World are full of dangers. Even if you miss him, it is difficult to visit him specially. Unexpectedly, Rayleigh actually came to Zuowu in person, and even seeing this posture, he came specifically to see him and Cat Viper.

"Ah!" Looking at the majestic Inu Arashi in front of him and having quite the qualities of a leader, Rayleigh was also filled with emotion as he recalled the kid on Roger's pirate ship. "I didn't expect you to have grown so much. It’s so bad!”

"I feel relieved to see you looking so energetic!" Inuarashi also expressed emotion. Back then, Rayleigh was still full of blond hair, but now it was mixed with silver threads. Fortunately, Rayleigh's physical and mental condition still looks very good.

Then, Inuarashi asked about the situation of his other companions: "I wonder how Uncle Jabba and Uncle Kurokas are doing?"

Reilly shook his head. He didn't know the situation of Jabba, Kurokas and others. These old friends from back then have not seen each other for a long time, and have even lost contact.

When the Roger Pirates disbanded, Roger reached a tacit agreement with the Navy and surrendered himself in exchange for the Navy no longer pursuing other partners on the ship. But this is certainly not enough, so most members of the Roger Pirates became anonymous after disembarking from the ship, no longer active in their original identities, and could not even leave their secluded places easily.

They even took the initiative to destroy the life cards and stopped contacting them, saying that the Roger Pirates would never gather again, in order to eliminate the wariness of the World Government. This is not because they are afraid of the World Government, but because their journey has ended successfully, and there is no need to fight on the sea for the rest of their lives.

As for changing the world, most members of the Roger Pirates don't care, and the remaining ones have the same idea as the late Captain Roger - patiently waiting for the person in the prophecy to appear.

The World Government is also very cautious. It is impossible to say that they do not want to deal with the remnants of the Roger Pirates. Regardless of whether there is any "tacit understanding" between Roger and the World Government, it is an indisputable fact that he placed the World Government on the execution platform. It is also an unavoidable fact that the World Government became angry and carried out "extirpation" actions against Roger's wife and children.

But the problem is that the remnants of the Roger Pirates are also a powerful force. If they are in a hurry, let them unite and give a shout-out, I am afraid that a top force that can be compared with the Whitebeard Pirates will be born immediately, which will give the World Government a headache.

Rather than this, it would be better to let the Roger Pirates disappear into the long river of history.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the old guys of the Roger Pirates are safe and cannot interfere at will with the situation on the sea. Otherwise, the World Government would not mind issuing a demon-slaying order or sending agents to carry out assassinations.

In the original work, the fragile tacit understanding between the remnants of the Roger Pirates and the World Government has always been maintained.

It is precisely because of this that Kurokas can work as a lightkeeper at Twin Points, and Rayleigh can live a "retired" life in the Shampoo Islands under the nose of the Navy Headquarters.

Even young people like Bucky and Shanks, although they continue to be pirates, they have established a separate branch and have not inherited the mantle of the Pirate King. In the current sea, only a few old pirates who have experienced the Roger era know the relationship between these two people and the Roger Pirates.

Of course, later on, Shanks and Buggy became the Yonko one after another, and their identities as former crew members of One Piece were naturally made public.

This is why Rayleigh, Shanks and other members of the Roger Pirates didn't know that Oden was dead. With so little contact between them, Oden's affairs could not reach the ears of these old friends at all.

This time, Rayleigh's departure from the Shampoo Islands has, to some extent, destroyed the "tacit agreement" reached with the World Government. If he continues to "recruit old troops" in a high-profile manner, CP0 and the Navy will probably be unable to sit still. He is not naive enough to think that the Navy and the World Government really don't know where he is.

The reason why Rayleigh was able to find Inuarashi and Neko Viper was because they disembarked early and did not participate in the final voyage. They were not sensitive people on the Roger Pirates, so Rayleigh kept their names. Life card. Therefore, he was able to find Zou so smoothly.

"Where is Neko Viper?" Looking around, Rayleigh could not find the figure who had been inseparable from Inuarashi.

"Is this..." Inuarashi looked confused. He was not sure how to explain his current relationship with Neko Viper to Vice Captain Rayleigh.

Rayleigh quickly found and woke up the sleeping cat Viper, led by Inuarashi and other fur tribes.

Although the relationship between Inarashi and Neko Viper is far from as harmonious as before, it has even reached the point where one person is responsible for the night and the other is responsible for the day, and they never interact with each other until death. However, with Rayleigh's strength and prestige, it would be no problem for the two of them to sit down and talk.

"Vice Captain, it's really you!" Even the grumpy cat Viper was very happy to see Rayleigh.

Even if he and Inuarashi set the limit at six o'clock every day, dividing their respective reign time according to day and night. However, Vice Captain Reilly still had to give him face, so he didn't care so much at this time and appeared in front of everyone during the day.

In order to welcome the distinguished guest, who is also the former deputy captain of the two kings of the "Furry Principality", the fur tribe organized a grand banquet. A distinguished guest from overseas arrived, and the two rival kings finally sat together in harmony for the time being. The Furry Principality that night was more lively than it had been in a long time.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone in the fur tribe was in low spirits. Rayleigh put down the wine glass in his hand and motioned for the cat and dog to sit next to him: "Inulan, Cat Viper, I am here this time. I want to ask you, how is Oden doing now?"

With a "Wow" sound, Inuarashi and Neko Viper hugged Rayleigh and cried loudly, just like they did on the Orr Jackson.

Lei Li's heart sank.
