Chapter 150 May you have a nightmare from which you never wake up, you piece of trash!
Let's rewind a moment.
"Ha ha."
BABY5's body was already somewhat exhausted.
The injuries she sustained in the Fairy Tale Forest, and the blood loss from constantly running away, had left her extremely weak—she knew she could faint at any moment.
But she also knew that she couldn't stop.
The Den Den Mushi she used to contact her partner, Buffalo, was broken—without this flying companion, she couldn't leave the island on her own.
"We need to find somewhere to hide. Those two monsters..."
As she murmured to herself, her gaze drifted toward the battlefield at the heart of the island behind her.
From the moment she started running away, she naturally kept her eyes on that direction.
So she practically witnessed firsthand the two forests devouring each other, as well as the six enormous, terrifying monsters, and...
Every tremor of the island, every roar of the forest, made her realize how wrong it was to have come to this "Dream Island".
Especially now.
"Won't that monster destroy this island if it keeps going like this?"
"Will I sink with the island? — But this place is quite beautiful, dying here wouldn't be so bad."
Looking at the towering tree in the distance that blots out the sky, and the faintly visible ram's head in front of the tree, BABY5's mind wandered.
"I wonder if the young master and the others will be sad for me."
She had lost control of her thoughts.
So at that moment, she instinctively thought of the Don Quixote family.
That was the place where she had lived since childhood.
She thought of her young master, Doflamingo, and the clan's executives.
"You are Doflamingo's property."
Those words spoken by that bastard named Araki.
BABY5 instinctively resisted this statement.
She longed to be recognized and needed, and was even willing to become an assassin at a young age to endure so much brutal training.
But there is only one point.
That is, she does not desire to be an "object".
She was a person—just not very useful, which is why her mother abandoned her.
"The young master said we are all his family! Yes, family!"
She comforted herself with this thought.
But her consciousness gradually faded.
Until this moment
"Click".
In her dazed state, she felt as if something touched her hand.
"who!?"
So she instinctively mustered her last bit of strength and tried to unleash her power to fight back.
But
At that moment, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness came from her hands.
".Hailoushi!?"
As an assassin and a person with special abilities, BABY5, who had undergone seastone torture training, instantly realized the source of this feeling.
She turned her head with difficulty and then saw a figure.
It was a figure as beautiful as a fairy—her face veiled in mist, and she stood behind her.
It was the mist falling from that veil that concealed her presence, causing BABY5 to subconsciously overlook her existence.
"Miss Fairy?"
BABY5 immediately realized who the other party was—the fairy lady from the legend of Neverland who was responsible for guiding the way.
The only difference is that, in the legend of the sea, the fairy lady is always accompanied by a dark red puppy.
But at this moment, she was accompanied by a pure white unicorn.
Miss Fairy nodded silently, her ears turning slightly red—even after all this time, she still felt a little ashamed of the title.
But at this moment, she still patted the unicorn beside her and said, "Go."
"Huh?"
The unicorn let out a cry.
"It's alright, she's an ability user, and she's already been restrained by Seastone—she's not in danger, and Yazi won't punish you for it."
The fairy said to the unicorn, and then she and the unicorn walked to BABY5's side, and the unicorn picked BABY5 up in its mouth.
"What...what are you going to do?"
BABY5 managed to utter a weak voice.
"Lord Wei Yang said that it would be best for me to keep you here in case of any unforeseen circumstances in the future."
"Miss Fairy said gently."
"And this island is about to become very dangerous; you'll die if you stay here any longer."
Is this island becoming dangerous?
Is it no longer dangerous?
BABY5 couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but she tried her best to resist—her assassin training from a young age told her that she could not be captured alive.
So even though she could no longer use her abilities, she still tried her best to bite off her tongue.
But
"Lord Wei Yang said that biting off one's tongue will not be fatal in the short term."
At that moment, she heard the fairy sigh, "Besides, human life is very precious—since you've managed to survive, please cherish it."
"After all, there will always be people in this world who care about you."
The guide on the island spoke with utmost gentleness at this moment.
"."
So, BABY5 was a little stunned.
Instinctively, she abandoned the act of suicide.
But at this moment, the fairy lady clearly ignored her and simply patted the unicorn beneath her.
Then, with a few leaps, the unicorn headed towards a certain spot on the island.
"Hey, where are you taking me?"
"The Survivors' Home—no, it should be called the 'Emerald Greenhouse' now. It's a 'safe house' created by Lord Sheep, and it's also where the dream creatures rest and reside. By the way, the prison prepared for you is also nearby."
"Don't say things like that with such a gentle expression! Also, what did you mean when you said this place would become hell?"
BABY5 asked this question.
But clearly, she didn't need an answer.
Because at that very moment, she had already seen it out of the corner of her eye.
The entire "Dream Island" changes at this moment.
It was a dark red.
Within BABY5's sight—starting from the edge of the island, that dark, blackish-purple color spread like flames.
Wherever it passed, flowers and dreamlike vegetation turned into poisonous creatures spewing purple foam.
The clear streams that once flowed throughout the island became murky and viscous.
The tree branches began to twist, the beautiful leaves turned black, and even the rocks turned into venom and flowed down.
"This is."
This scene left BABY5 almost speechless.
She could even see the soil below constantly being eroded and rotted.
This dream island, which the entire ocean yearned for, was transformed into a terrifying place that even BABY5 had never seen before in just a short moment.
At this moment, she finally understood what the fairy lady meant.
So, compared to the monsters in the forest, they really weren't much of a danger to this island itself!
"This is Neverland."
But at that moment, she heard the fairy's calm reply.
"It is an island created by Lord Wei Yang."
"He wanted this place to be a dreamlike place for some, an 'island of dreams'."
"He wanted this place to be a nightmare or a prison for some people, and that would make it 'Hell Island'."
She said it calmly.
Certain people?
Therefore, there was no need for the fairy to explain at all.
BABY5 naturally understood who the "certain people" in the other person's words were—after all, there seemed to be only one other outsider on the entire island besides her.
And that is indeed the case.
"Ahhh"
At that very moment, a agonizing roar that echoed throughout the entire island was heard.
Under the influence of the sea stone, BABY5 struggled to peek at it.
Then she discovered that the screams of fear and pain were coming from the enormous, dark tree in the center of the island, which was the embodiment of the Wild Sheep and covered the sky.
"Uh uh uh"
At this moment, Huang Mu, who had transformed into a giant tree, had completely lost consciousness.
But Wei Yang was not surprised at all by this scene.
Or to be more precise—from the moment he saw Huang Mu, he had already decided on the other's fate.
[The user of the Devil Fruit, 'Aramaki', has been identified]
[The Devil Fruit has been confirmed as the 'Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit', and is currently being analyzed and stored in the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]
[LV5: Fruit Awakening - World Tree, devouring all the surrounding forests and transforming itself into a giant 'World Tree']
In World Tree form, the body naturally absorbs all nearby nutrients and can perform extreme photosynthesis, gaining almost endless life and stamina.
This ability is precisely what Wei Yang values most.
Yes—that's why Wei Yang built this dream island and attracted outsiders to enter.
One of their purposes is, of course, to amass wealth, and the other is to collect a large amount of life essence to create the "Dream Legion" in preparation for their next big plan.
Originally, although he had collected a considerable amount of life essence, it was still far from enough to support the existence of such a large number of dream creatures in the entire Dream Legion.
However, the Wilderness Farm can solve this problem.
The power of the Sensen Fruit itself symbolizes endless vitality—it can generate endless vitality simply by performing photosynthesis, making it the best source for him to extract life essence.
Of course, this thought was originally just a thought.
After all, Aramaki is the future Marine Admiral "Green Bull". Although his strength has always been jokingly referred to as "Admiral Floor", he is still a top-tier strongman at the Admiral level.
Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for him to be used as a 'container' from which one's life essence is extracted.
However, it is clear that the current situation is not a "normal situation".
Because the place where Wild Sheep and Sheep are now is Dream Island.
And don't forget.
The so-called Dream Island is actually a "Plague Island".
Every stream flowing here was once a poisonous pool.
Every piece of land here was essentially a highly poisonous place, but it was transformed by Wei Yang's "Island-Island Fruit" in combination with the "Poison-Poison Fruit" and the "Reverse Fruit" that it became the vibrant place it is today.
Once the sheep stop 'transforming' them, everything on the island will revert to being highly poisonous, just like it is now.
Moreover, due to the existence of the "Poison-Poison Fruit," the transformed poison is even more potent than that of the previous Plague Island.
But more importantly
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the massive, dark tree trunk of the Wild Sheep was changing at an astonishing speed.
Within that tough, black bark, dark purple and deep red toxins surged continuously.
This caused the tree trunk to emit a terrifying hissing sound, and it instantly became withered and gray.
But after only a short while, the immense life force of Huang Mu after transforming into the 'World Tree' will restore the tree to its former vitality.
At the same time, its roots, which are deeply embedded in the ground, will instinctively absorb the surrounding nutrients.
This means that the toxins in his body almost never decrease.
That endless cycle of 'poisoning', 'recovery', and 'poisoning' was the true purpose of all of Wei Yang's previous schemes.
"Tsk tsk."
Wei Yang smacked his lips.
As mentioned before, the poison produced by the Poison Fruit is the "King of Poisons".
It contains the effects of almost every toxin in the world, and if one is exposed to enough of it, the level of suffering caused by its toxicity can be extremely exaggerated.
Even someone with a strong will like Nika in modern times would lose consciousness and scream in agony under Magellan's poison, almost dying.
So here's the question.
First, how much of the so-called "nutrients" that Huang Mu absorbed from the trees during the battle just now actually existed?
The sheep does not know.
Secondly, what immense suffering would such a dose of toxin cause?
The Sheep still doesn't know.
Thirdly, how desperate is it when this pain never ends, but instead circulates endlessly within the body due to the awakening effect of the "Mori-Mori Fruit"?
The Sheep still doesn't know.
But Wei Yang knows at least one thing.
That is.
"I don't really care how much pain and despair someone like you is in."
As he spoke so casually, Wei Yang slowly flew to Huang Mu's side.
At this moment, the latter had completely lost consciousness amidst the indescribable pain within his body—his spirit seemed to have completely collapsed, making him almost like a real tree.
But clearly, for those born in the Year of the Sheep, this is still not enough.
He had to make sure everything went perfectly.
so.
"Buzz!"
A shimmering light surged from his hands.
【Hypnosis: Eternal Dream Song】
[It can trap living beings in an eternal dream from which they cannot wake up on their own, but the willpower of the hypnotized person must be far weaker than that of the person with the ability.]
That power comes from the 'Dream Kirin Fruit'.
Of course—this ability itself would have been useless to a top expert like Huang Mu.
but now
"Go to sleep."
Wei Yang gently raised his hand, and the flowing water splashed onto the huge tree trunk in front of him.
Welcome to Neverland.
His last words lingered in the air above Neverland.
"Let's have a nightmare from which we never wake up, a nightmare of eternal pain—scum."
I rewatched the Dressrosa arc the day before yesterday and found that Baby 5 is actually quite adorable. She was originally just there to showcase Green Bull's values, and I didn't consider her fate. Today I thought about it and decided to just leave her alone and maybe recruit her into the organization as a junior officer later.
The same goes for Green Bull. Originally, I added a backstory for him in this chapter (completely original), but it was over 1000 words long, so I decided to delete it. If readers are interested, I'll release it as a side story later; if not, that's fine too.
