Chapter 442 Slime...?!
Chapter 442 Slime...?!
"It's just a suspicion," west Yan said.
But he felt that his intuition was probably right; that thing was most likely poisonous!
The others fell silent upon hearing this; the appearance of such a venomous behemoth was hardly good news.
"Let's go." Sanji glanced at Kin'emon and said, "No matter what, I can't just leave this guy alone."
"So even if that stuff is poisonous, I'm still going to the lake."
After saying that, Sanji didn't say anything more, and silently carried Kin'emon forward.
Zoro and Xiyan followed, clearly intending to help Sanji.
Brook tilted his head and thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything more and chased after them without a word.
Soon the group arrived at the lakeside and got a clear look at the enormous creature.
"it..
""
Looking at the unidentified creature that was continuously spraying red substances into the sky, Brooke was dumbfounded and asked, "What is it doing?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
west Yan stroked his chin and said, "It's spitting out venom bullets."
As he spoke, west Yan glanced at the direction in which the venom bullet had flown.
If I remember correctly, that's... directly in front of the research institute?
Thinking of this, west Yan frowned and said, "What about Luffy and the others?"
'
Don't worry.
Without turning his head, Zoro said, "Luffy and the others have Chopper with them, they'll definitely be able to tell this thing is poisonous."
So Zoro wasn't worried at all.
west Yan felt that this made sense, so he looked away.
"But why is this thing vomiting that weird stuff?" Sanji stared at the strange creature that kept vomiting and said, "It's kind of inexplicable..."
""
Could it be that they're planning to spit venom and kill some people?
Isn't this a bit too inefficient?
"I don't know what happened, but it's best not to throw up here," Brooke said with a chuckle. "Otherwise, it might damage my skin."
"Ah~"
"Although I don't have any skin that can be damaged~"
"Yohohohoho~"
But Brooke's laughter soon stopped, because he noticed that the guy on the other side was vomiting something that was flying towards them!
"Hello!"
"Why is it flying towards us?!" Brooke exclaimed in disbelief.
The others' expressions changed as well, and they quickly darted to the side, dodging the venom attack.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Looking at the still-wriggling mass of venom, Sanji's face showed disgust, and he said, "It looks disgusting."
'
Is this thing still alive?
"I don't know," Zoro said, stroking his chin. "It looks a bit like jelly."
"Jelly doesn't work that way."
west Yan's lips twitched slightly. Whose jelly is so brightly colored? It looks poisonous.
"I feel like this thing is more like part of a slime's body than jelly," Brooke said.
As he spoke, Brooke looked up again at the small hill in the distance that was still spraying venom.
He felt that the thing was similar to the slime he remembered.
"You even know about slimes?"
west Yan glanced at Brook in surprise. Could it be that slimes really exist in this world?
Really interesting.
"Yes, I once read about it in a book," Brooke nodded and said, "The monster described in the book is exactly the same as the one we're seeing now."
As he spoke, a peculiar smile appeared on Brook's face, and he continued, "Speaking of which, I quite like these kinds of creatures~"
"What are the characteristics of this creature?" Sanji asked curiously.
"Of course!" Brooke said, raising a finger. "These creatures called slimes really enjoy attacking women and can even dissolve clothes with their bodily fluids. They're shameless creatures!!"
As if he had just realized something, Brooke covered his face and started shaking, which made west Yan's lips twitch.
What on earth is this guy thinking...?
"This monster's abilities are too... cough." Sanji coughed lightly, then continued, "Brook, remember to lend me this book when we get back."
"I want one too!" Kin'emon chimed in, joining the conversation.
"Sure, sure!"
"Yohohohoho~"
Brooke's face was full of smiles, clearly indicating that he was willing to read the book with these two like-minded people.
Hearing what the others said, Zoro's face showed a look of disgust.
These guys...
"What a bunch of idiots."
"What did you say?!"
Sanji immediately became unhappy. Who was that bastard with the green hair calling an idiot?
"Have you all forgotten that this guy is poisonous?" Zoro pointed to the dead fish in the lake and said, "With its toxicity, one touch and you're dead!"
He didn't know if the clothes would dissolve, but he would definitely be killed!
Upon hearing Zoro's words, the group instinctively looked towards the lake, and their expressions immediately turned grim.
"This toxicity is indeed quite terrifying."
west Yan stared at the dead fish that kept floating to the surface of the lake and said, "If we touch them, we'll probably die too."
Well, at least Zoro and the others will be poisoned to death.
"Then the samurai's body will also die!" Brooke exclaimed.
If the other person's upper body dies... then their whole body will be wiped out!
With that in mind, Brook turned his gaze to Kin'emon.
Kin'emon, who was being watched by Brook, had a very unpleasant expression on his face.
"I am..."
'
If he were to die here, wouldn't the young master...?
"Leave it to me." Sanji stepped forward and said, "I'll retrieve this guy's body before the poison gas hits."
"?"
Brook paused for a moment, then looked at Sanji in surprise and said, "Sanji, are you planning to go into the water?"
"Of course!" Sanji replied without hesitation, "Since I chose to bring him out, I must take full responsibility!"
"Sanji, a true man, strikes when the time comes!"
After saying that, Sanji took off the cotton coat that Kin'emon had conjured up and walked towards the lake without hesitation.
"I'll leave the slimes on the shore to you guys. I'll be right back!" Sanji said.
"Let me do it," west Yan said.
"No, I'll do it," Sanji said. "I promised him, so of course I should do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji jumped into the lake below without hesitation.
Seeing that Sanji was already like this, Xiyan didn't press the matter any further.
However, he didn't do nothing. Instead, he activated his Sharingan and carefully watched the water's surface, allowing him to observe the venom's movements in a timely manner.
Once the venom spreads to Sanji's vicinity, he will not hesitate to use Wood Release to pull Sanji out.
"Sanji...."
'
"Don't worry," Zoro said calmly. "He's an excellent swimmer."
Seeing that Zoro said so, Brook was temporarily relieved.
Kin'emon, trembling, stared at the lake, utterly stunned.
They actually jumped into the poisonous lake just for me...
The other party didn't just talk the talk; they actually walked the walk!
These pirates are really different, they are truly different!
"Alright, now it seems we need to figure out how to deal with these poisonous slimes." Zoro glanced at the increasing number of slimes around him and said, "Brook, go and persuade them."
"ha?"
Brook paused for a moment, then looked at Zoro with a dumbfounded expression and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"What kind of communication techniques do you think would work on this kind of monster?"
He didn't even know if this thing could be considered a living organism.
After all... this is not the slime he remembers!
Then, as if he had discovered something, Brooke exclaimed in surprise, "These guys can combine!"
"It's even bigger after combining!"
"Combined?"
Zoro glanced at the several enormous creatures fused together beside him, frowned, and said, "How can they fuse together?"
Although he didn't know what was going on, Zoro still drew his long sword from his waist, intending to kill all the guys in front of him.
"Whoosh~"
"puff!"
"puff!"
With a few slashes, he chopped the slime in front of him into pieces!
"We did it!" Brook breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of Zoro!"
"No...that's not right!"
Zoro's expression changed drastically as if he had discovered something. "It's poison gas! Retreat!" he cried.
After saying that, Zoro quickly retreated.
The next moment...
"Tch~"
A terrifying gas erupted from the slime that Zoro had just slashed open, spraying directly onto Brook's face.
"what!"
"My eyes!"
"mine..
'
Brooke suddenly stopped speaking, then grinned.
"Ah~"
"By the way, I don't have eyes~"
"Yohohohoho~"
west Yan looked helpless upon hearing this; even at a time like this, he was still acting silly.
"You two hurry up and deal with that thing," west Yan said, pointing to the slime that had come up behind them.
He didn't want to run into any of these strange things.
Although he couldn't be killed, he felt disgusted.
"I'd like to too," Zoro said with a headache, "but this thing is practically indestructible."
He hadn't held back with his strike, but it was no match for the liquid-like creature.
west Yan frowned upon hearing this and said, "Can't be killed...?"
'
If you think about it carefully, slimes are indeed quite resilient.
It won't die as long as its core isn't destroyed!
Thinking of this, west Yan glanced at the guy on the other side of the river, whose size had shrunk considerably.
"Where would the core be...?"
'
If he were really there, he could try to destroy that guy's core!
After observing for a while, west Yan gave up because he didn't see anything that looked like a slime core.
This makes it impossible to kill the opponent by destroying their core.
Thinking of this, west Yan withdrew his gaze.
Subsequently, west Yan noticed some changes on the lake surface.
"The venom has already spread," west Yan frowned. "It seems Sanji doesn't have much time left."
If we don't get up here in time, Sanji will be poisoned to death!
With that in mind, west Yan made a plan to take action. If he found that Sanji could not return in time, he would pull him up.
After hearing Xiyan's words, Kin'emon's expression turned ugly.
We have to be quick...
Otherwise, both his body and this gentleman would die!
"These guys really do look like jelly..." Zoro glanced at the ever-increasing number of slimes and said, "Brook, why don't you eat them and digest them?"
"ha?"
"No way!" Brooke protested. "And can you stop saying things that sound like you're bullying a child? I'm 70 years older than you!"
"Oh~"
"Sorry, sir."
"Who's the old man here?!"
"I'm full of energy now, not old at all..."
'
Before Brook could finish speaking, Kin'emon, who was standing next to Xiyan, screamed in agony, his expression as if he had been attacked by something terrifying.
"?!"
Brook stared blankly at Kin'emon and said, "Samurai-sensei, what's wrong?"
"It hurts so much!!"
"Ah...it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just so itchy..."
'
"Does it hurt or not...?"
"Idiot, of course it hurts," west Yan said speechlessly. "It's just that this guy likes to be stubborn."
Although he didn't know what was wrong with this samurai, he could tell that he was indeed a stubborn guy.
After all... he had been saying the whole way that he wasn't cold.
After shaking his head, west Yan focused his gaze on the water and continued, "I guess this guy's upper body was attacked by something."
"What?!"
Brook's expression shifted as he said, "Could it be that Sanji is in trouble?"
"It shouldn't be."
Xi Yan, who had locked onto Sanji's location with his Observation Haki, shook his head and said, "Sanji's aura hasn't changed at all."
Not only was there no aura, but there was also no more terrifying aura around Sanji.
Therefore... Xiyan concluded that the one who was attacked was Kin'emon alone.
"That means his body was bitten by a shark," Zoro said, glancing at Kin'emon.
What an unlucky guy.
"By a shark..."
""
Brooke glanced at Kin'emon, unsure of what to say.
This guy... isn't he just too unlucky?
"Hopefully Sanji can find his upper body soon," west Yan said. "Otherwise, he might get bitten to death."
If his upper body is killed... he'll die along with it!
"Looks like this guy doesn't know Armament Haki," Brook said.
"Even if we had it, we couldn't use it." Zoro glanced at Kin'emon, who was rolling around on the ground in pain, and said, "Don't forget that his body is in the water right now."
Activating Armament Haki requires physical strength, and Devil Fruit users gradually lose strength in seawater.
Therefore, in this situation, the opponent is most likely unable to use Armament Haki.
Upon hearing this, a hint of pity flashed in Brooke's eyes.
"What a pathetic guy..."
'
I just hope Sanji can find this guy's body soon, so he won't be bitten to death by the shark.
"what!"
"Damn it, let go of my body!" Kin'emon screamed, "I..."
'
"what!"
Brooke: ....
That's so brutal!
