One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me

Chapter 305 The Land of the Dead

Chapter 305 The Land of the Dead

"."

Looking at the scene that appeared inside the deep well.

At this moment, Wu Ma also had a solemn expression.

He looked at the roots that belonged to the precious tree Adam and could sense what was leaking from the devoured roots—it was all bloodline factor energy.

Just as he guessed.

As the tree species of the "Pillars of Creation", the Treasure Tree Adam indeed contains a massive amount of bloodline factor source energy.

"Based on the murals on the Abyss, the Adam Tree was probably a reward given to the Giant King after he helped Davy Jones conquer the world and establish the 'Giant Kingdom'."

"The size of the giants makes it difficult for them to find islands suitable for survival."

This can be seen from the cases of Dorry and Brogy—even the ancient island, which is large enough to be called a large island in the ocean, is just a 'small garden' in the eyes of the giants.

Therefore, we can make bold guesses about Wu Ma.

Elbaf, the world's strongest nation, likely exists because of a 'wish'.

"The giants made a wish on the tree seed of the Pillars of Creation, which is why it grew into the 'Adam Tree'."

"Similarly, another tree seed was obtained by the Fish-Men—the Fish-Men are also a special race that finds it difficult to find a suitable place to live, so the seed they had transformed into the 'Sun Tree Eve,' thus giving birth to Fish-Men Island."

"No wonder the existence of Fishman Island and Elbaf is inherently illogical in the ocean."

With this in mind, the recent events in Elbaf become quite clear.

Teach has recently been lurking in the Jotun Mountains, and what he's been doing inside the Uda Fortress is quite obvious—after taking over Loki's body, he's been using Loki's Nidhogg Fruit powers to continuously devour the roots of the World Tree, thereby extracting the bloodline factor energy within them.

"No wonder no giant has ever consumed this fruit throughout history. Just like the legend of Nika among the giants, this fruit is both the 'fruit of salvation' in Joy Boy and Davy Jones' plan, and the 'fruit of destruction' that will pose a great threat to Elbaf."

Just like Elbaf today.

Teach has already devoured most of the roots of the World Tree—and now the entire root system of the 'Adam Tree' is visibly withering.

The source of the earthquake was clearly this: a giant tree that was about to die, and the creatures living on it would naturally feel the tremors and abnormalities.

But that's where the biggest problem lies.

"Oh, we've been found out?"

At this moment, looking down at the true form of Elbaf that has appeared.

Teach scratched his head helplessly and looked at Wu Ma: "What a pity. I originally planned to stay here for a while, and then let this country be destroyed without anyone noticing after I had completely devoured its roots."

"But—why did you have to come knocking at a time like this?"

As he said this, he gently raised his hand.

"Even if Halding is stupid, he would definitely realize something was wrong under the effect of the 'Crown of Wisdom' after the tremor just now."

"Moreover, you are the crucial 'second step' in my plan, and I cannot let you escape under any circumstances."

"So, let's leave this country here."

And then the next moment.

"roar!"

In Teach's mouth, fangs began to grow, transforming into ferocious dragon teeth.

His bandaged eyes suddenly burst into flames at that moment.

"bake!"

The bandages were burned away in an instant, revealing Loki's eerie black vertical pupils beneath them.

"Boom!"

From his body, a magnificent bloodline factor energy surged forth instantly, like a dark tide, instantly engulfing the entire collapsed ruins of Udaburg and the exposed roots of the World Tree below.

"The Land of the Dead: Ragnarok!"

The words fell.

The surrounding frozen ground, the collapsed castle, the gushing spring of the underworld, and even the withered root system of the World Tree.

Everything vanished in that instant.

Instead, there was a boundless, scorching wilderness.

The snow falling from the sky turned blood red at this moment.

The gloomy sky of the underworld turned blood red.

Everything seemed to have turned into scorched earth.

At that moment, Wu Ma clearly realized that his soul was being captured by this 'world'.

"really."

Wu Ma muttered to himself.

This is inevitable—both Loki and Teach are undoubtedly top-tier individuals in terms of bloodline and talent.

They have indeed developed the Nidhogg Fruit to the point of awakening.

However, what Wu Ma didn't expect was what he saw next.

"roar!"

At this moment, the place where Teach had been standing—the giant body belonging to 'Loki'—had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was an enormous, jet-black dragon.

The dragon's wings were ablaze with world-destroying flames, and its jet-black vertical pupils gleamed with pure malice.

As it flaps its wings, wind, snow, thunder, lightning, flames, and ripples constantly change with its movement.

And the most crucial

Beneath the wings of that enormous black dragon.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

One by one, the indistinct figures began to coalesce and take shape under the convergence of bloodline factor energy.

They gradually transformed from illusion into reality—they were enormous 'giants' with immense physical size and aura.

Without exception, they were all dressed in heavy armor and wielded giant axes, bows, and swords.

"Leader Yoyo-rulu!?"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out, causing Dorry and Brogy, who had also been dragged into the "Land of the Dead" along with their hut, to gasp in surprise.

Yes.

At that moment, among the countless giants, stood an old giant with a long beard reaching the ground, wielding a giant sword.

Dorry and Brogy naturally recognized the giant as Yoruru, the legendary giant known as "Waterfall Beard," who had died at the hands of Charlotte Linlin and was considered on par with "Yaruru."

"Impossible."

At that moment, Saulo's eyes widened, and snot couldn't help but flow from his nose.

Because at that moment, he had already spotted another figure among the gradually gathering crowd.

The person was not a giant; he was relatively small in stature.

But the aura he exuded was as condensed as a silent volcano.

He had white hair and beard, wore sunglasses, and held two two-handed axes tightly in his hands.

That was indeed it.

"Mr. Shan!?"

Sauro's exclamation revealed his identity.

Yes, that is none other than "Mountain Devourer" Skobard Jabba!
