Chapter 140 A Coincident Choice
"Where do we go next?"
Kuroro, Nami, Robin, and the others were studying the sea chart on the table in front of them.
"The sea chart that the dragon gave us was marked in great detail, but in reality, there's only one place with the highest concentration of ability users..."
'
"Our final destination in the first half of the Grand Line..."
"
Kuroro pointed to a building in the Calm Belt, the first half of the Grand Line.
Nami, Robin, and Bonney, who had just secretly arrived, all widened their eyes at the spot Kuroro pointed to.
stunned-
"You're insane!" *3—
"Impert Impel Down, the world's number one prison, holding a group of some of history's most heinous criminals?!"
"You said you're going there to hunt Devil Fruits?!" Bonnie stared blankly.
She had thought Kuroro was crazy, but she hadn't imagined he was this crazy. No wonder he wasn't surprised at all when he heard she was going to Marineford; it turned out he was waiting for her here!
Is it too late to disembark now...?
Nami's expression turned serious. "Do you know where that is?"
"A massive prison holding criminals with Devil Fruit abilities, divided into six levels. Legend has it that the criminals imprisoned on Level 6 are monstrous pirates who were so vicious they were erased from history—all near-legendary figures!"
"That's one of the most terrifying places in the world, known as the place where no one has ever been able to escape successfully."
"It's said to be surrounded by hordes of Sea Kings, with a tight security system built of Seastone prisons and monitoring Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices), and is known as the entrance to hell!"
Nami rattled off all the information she knew, hoping to calm Chrollo's restless heart.
However, Kuroro nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I know, those locked up are all people with special abilities, that's why I'm going."
"6
'
So you only heard the first sentence, right?
"No one can escape once they go in there!"
Kuroro shrugged. "Actually, there are cases where people have successfully escaped. Shiki escaped from there, didn't he?"
"6
'
Duang
'
Nami's righteous fist slammed down. "You still know where he escaped from? But do you know what he paid for it? His legs were left there forever!"
Kuroro rolled his eyes, clutching the large bump on his head. "That was ruthless."
Kuroro comforted Nami, "I'm not like him. Don't forget I have the Door-Door Fruit. There's nowhere in this world that can stop me."
Nami remained worried, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Don't forget... Seastone is far less effective for us."
Kuroro tapped the area on the map that marked Impel Down, his eyes lighting up. "That will be our best hunting ground."
"We can hunt down many Devil Fruit abilities that we desire, filling the gaps in the abilities of the remaining crew members. This will greatly enhance our overall strength."
"Moreover... the prestige that would be gained from conquering Impel Down would be unimaginable."
Kuroro looked at the three of them: "There are less than three months left until that war."
"Impatiens is the best choice for improving our strength as much as possible before that."
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."
"The group has always had this kind of tightrope walking style."
"Besides... I'm confident."
Nami and the other two exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, but... what could they say when their captain had already spoken?
Then we have no choice but to believe it.
"However, I don't plan to go now."
"call"
The three breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for Kuroro to have such an idea. Yes, it wouldn't be too late to go to such a dangerous place later when their strength had increased.
I plan to go in a month.
"6
'
"What's the difference?!" *3
Stop pausing for breath when you speak, honestly...
Kuroro moved his hand away and pointed to two other locations. "Actually, these two places are the best choices right now."
Nami, Robin, and Bonney all craned their necks to look.
The direction Kuroro was pointing was the Devil's Triangle, a region shrouded in mist year-round.
Another key route to the New World is the Sabaody Archipelago, a unique island group formed by the massive Yarjiman mangroves.
Nami was speechless.
Why does Kuroro always choose dangerous places with extremely low survival rates? Is it because of a man's unique desire for challenge?
"Do you even know where the Devil's Triangle is before you go there?"
Nami spoke with a hint of panic: "The Devil's Triangle: a terrifying sea area where, according to legend, more than 100 ships mysteriously disappear every year. There are also ghost ships carrying the dead wandering around."
Even more so, there are rumors that in the heart of the Devil's Sea, there is a terrifying island filled with resurrected and moving dead people, known as Ghost Island.
We should avoid such an eerie place if we can.
Nami couldn't help but offer her suggestion.
If they didn't have flying ships, then this sea area was the only way to the new world on their chosen route.
But... the Black Whale can fly!
Therefore, it is entirely possible for them to temporarily fly away from this area and bypass the Devil's Triangle.
Kuroro slowly shook his head. "I didn't choose this destination for thrills."
"On that ghost island you mentioned, there is a fruit that I really admire—the Shadow-Shadow Fruit."
Kuroro revealed a sharp look.
"You mean the Devil Fruit ability of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Robin asked thoughtfully.
"That's right." Kuroro nodded.
Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit:
Shadows are "another kind of soul" shared by all living beings, and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power allows one to capture and control shadows.
The shadow contains "personality" and "combat ability", and can seize the shadow of others; by stuffing the shadow into the body of others, it temporarily endows them with the combat power of the shadow.
The shadow can also be placed into a corpse to revive it as a zombie, and the zombie will be absolutely obedient to the ability user.
You can also control your shadow to launch various attacks, such as shadow clones, fragment bats, and shadow boxes...
It can even absorb a large number of shadows to strengthen itself.
This fruit is an ability that Chrollo carefully selected for Shizuku.
Based on the previous experiment, it was found that even abilities from different systems can coexist.
Shizuku's bulging-eyed fish can absorb any inanimate object she perceives. Through the combination of the bulging-eyed fish and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Shizuku possesses an army of shadows that can move at will.
At the same time, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit can also greatly enhance Shizuku's agility in close combat.
Moreover...
The zombies on Moriah's terrifying three-masted ship were extraordinary.
As a fan of anime and manga, Kuroro once did in-depth research and found that many of these zombies were former members of the Rocks Pirates.
It was stolen by Moria from who knows where.
In other words... Moria might know...
...Information about the great battle of Ichigami Valley thirty years ago.
Kuroro was very interested in what he was going to do and what secrets he knew.
Upon hearing the name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Nami rolled her eyes. "First Crocodile, and now Gecko Moria. It feels like we're going to get into a fight with the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Kuroro suppressed a laugh and patted her shoulder. "Your gut feeling was right~"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea generally possess very strong Devil Fruit abilities. Rather, it is precisely because of these powerful Devil Fruits that they are worthy of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Therefore..." A hint of anticipation flashed in Kuroro's eyes, "it would be best to seize their fruits and provide them for my crew members."
"We need to complete the hunting at these two destinations within a month, and then head to..."
Impel Down.
