Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"...terrible poison."

After hearing the description of the plague, even Famine, who had no idea about the poison, couldn't help but change his face slightly.

This kind of poison is unheard of even based on hundreds of years of famine experience.

Apocalypse, a poison completely attached to the life force. It constantly erodes the vitality and causes extremely intense pain to the person who is poisoned. Moreover, this toxin can also be spread through body fluids.

As long as a creature's vitality is not cut off, the apocalypse poison will continue to contaminate it and continue to consume its vitality. But on the other hand, this has no effect at all on inanimate objects.

The most terrifying thing is that the infection of this toxin is not only based on contact with body fluids, but also based on the spread of malicious intent. Therefore, this toxin is almost impossible to prevent once contaminated.

"Who did you create this poison for?"

Famine looked at Plague with a strange expression.

There is only one person in Famine's mind who has strong vitality and is too powerful to be defeated by conventional means.

The two looked at each other and said in unison:

"King Lunaria."

Plague smiled eerily: "Famine, do you remember the previous catastrophe in the Capital of Seven Waters?"

"Of course I know." Famine nodded, "When Lunaria went berserk and woke up, the Capital of Seven Waters was attacked by a strange life form."

"Weird life form."

Plague emphasized the word, "I went to investigate and found out that this living thing couldn't be killed by conventional means, and its entire body was made up of speech."

"It can be said that its life form is completely different from our common flesh and blood bodies. It seems to be built up with vitality."

"And the various toxins I created before are useless against such a living body."

"...I won't allow this to happen."

Plague stared at the needle in his hand and said with some obsession: "Although the two forms of life are completely different, they have one thing in common... that is strong vitality."

"My previous toxins all indirectly consumed life force by destroying flesh and blood, but I never thought of directly consuming life force."

"The emergence of that life form awakened me, and I have been looking for a solution to that elemental life since then."

"Theoretically, it's possible, but I haven't found a transmission medium that can directly infect life force."

"I found out that I was photographed by that guy from Magik Saint two days ago, and he hit me crookedly."

Plague couldn't help but smile proudly when he said this.

"However, if I remember correctly, Lunalia's body should be a huge mountain of flesh, right?"

"His current body does not look like a flesh and blood body at all. I have reason to suspect that his body is similar to those elemental beings."

"After all, no matter what, you can actually feel the rhythm of his life force by seeing and hearing the color."

"so……"

"This can be considered as giving us a backup plan."

Plague glanced at Famine.

"I guess you, a guy who is smarter than me, can't be completely wary of the King, right?"

"Of course, haha, I'm afraid he has never been on the same page with the World Government and Yin Mu."

Famine shrugged, "But it's none of my business, after all -"

"We and the World Government are not of the same mind, are we?"

Plague supported his knees and stood up: "But it's also good to have another insurance method."

"...Because of your ability to develop this toxin, I will protect you no matter what in the future."

Famine looked at Pestilence with strange eyes.

"Why are you protecting me? Haha, are you worried that I will die?"

Plague waved his hand nonchalantly, "I don't care whether I die or not, but if He Yi Xian is not poisoned, I won't die. You don't need to worry."

"If I didn't come this time, you would..."

"Even if you didn't come, I would have been able to escape. At least I wouldn't have died there."

After Plague finished speaking, he looked at Famine with a rather contemptuous look: "Don't take your role so highly. Although you are indeed stronger, I am your colleague after all."

"Don't look down on me so much."

"..."

Famine gave up the discussion with Plague, a person with abnormal brain circuits, and instead looked at the body of the substitute and said: "Since that kind of venom can be spread through body fluids... then this substitute is now equivalent to a mobile dirty bomb."

"Is it a weapon specially designed to deal with enemies like the King of Heaven? Can we make more?"

"Theoretically, you can blow up this avatar, and then let other avatars be infected with bodily fluids." Plague shrugged, "But I still have to say, this thing is a toxin, not a virus."

"Its medicinal effect has a minimum dose that takes effect."

"Keep spreading and it will be diluted to a certain level and it will no longer be toxic."

"Uh... can you make some more?"

"Then you have to use some more of that pure malice as raw material."

Plague didn't say it couldn't be done, but pointedly said.

Famine immediately understood the meaning of Plague’s words and nodded.

"I'll catch Saint Magik back for you if you get a chance."

"That would be perfect."

Plague chuckled.

Fengfang was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

After his eyes changed, his eyes became a little cold.

Then, a slightly cold sneer appeared on his face.

"Hehehe..."

"Um?"

Plague tilted his head and looked at Famine: "What?"

"It has nothing to do with you..." Fengfang shook his head and said in a cold tone: "But I didn't expect...someone actually came up with the idea of ​​a labor bridge..."

…

On the Labor Bridge, under a certain bridge pier, a woman was hanging upside down at the bottom of the bridge in a strange posture, looking at the countless grooves that had been eroded out of nowhere on the bridge pier.

The originally solid bridge piers are now riddled with holes. No strong person is needed. Even an ordinary person can break a large piece with a hammer.

And this kind of hole obviously cannot be a quality problem left before - just kidding, people from the World Government will come to inspect it regularly. If the bridge piers are discovered like this, everyone involved in the project will lose their heads.

And she also checked the Labor Bridge two days ago.

so……

"Someone finally couldn't hold it in anymore recently."

Hungry touched the holes of the bridge pier, and it felt a little pink to the touch.

When I pulled out my fingers, they were covered with sand.

"..."

The color of the sand is completely different from the color of the bridge building materials. In other words, this is not the sand and dust left when the bridge is chipped or the building materials weathered.

So……

"Devil Fruit? Could it be that... the Shasha Fruit?"

She wasn't entirely sure of that judgment. The previous owner of the Shasha Fruit was Crocodile, and after Crocodile was killed, the whereabouts of the Shasha Fruit were unknown in the records of the World Government.

An's information has not been exposed to the world government's sight so far.

Fengfang narrowed his eyes and whispered: "The other party's purpose is to destroy the Labor Bridge? No, at least the first goal should not be."

"Otherwise, the bridge piers have been eroded to this point, and the Labor Bridge can be easily destroyed if it goes further. I didn't notice this problem before. If the other party really wants to destroy the Labor Bridge... it should be a very simple matter."

"But even if we don't have to destroy the Labor Bridge, if we achieve this step, it's obvious that destroying the bridge should be a backup plan."

"Then what is the other party's purpose..."

Thinking of this, Famine couldn't think of anything specific for a while due to lack of clues.

But the next moment, she was stunned for a moment and then showed a cold smile.

Ah, she doesn't need to look for clues. In other words, she doesn't need to care about the other party's purpose.

——As long as the person who did this is caught or killed, everything will be solved.

Catching interrogations is not her strong suit, and it takes time. So I might as well just kill him.

Thinking like this, a figure in black clothes flew over the bridge in the sky.

Because Yin Mu attaches great importance to the Labor Bridge, there are quite a lot of substitutes left in the Labor Bridge during the famine. Most of the stand-ins serve as hard laborers to speed up construction, but there is also a stand-in in the image of the Four Horsemen who represents the normal state of [famine] to the outside world.

With her status as a senior member of the World Government, she can ensure that everything in the Kingdom on the Bridge is under her control.

She has a way to find out the identity of the enemy - of course, it would be faster for her to kill them all, but the construction progress of the Labor Bridge will be delayed again, and Yin Mu will be angry.

Therefore, the investigation still needs to be carried out.

The messenger in black will first start investigating from the main island of the Kingdom on the Bridge...

On the Labor Bridge, at several construction sites, Famine's stand-in stopped what he was doing.

Then, they walked to their respective foremans in unison.

When the foreman scolded them dissatisfied, they all slapped the foreman into the sea.

Of course, no shooting to death. After all, the workers will still have to be in charge of the foreman in the future, and Famine's control of strength is still very delicate.

With such a show of force, the workers who were still working were immediately frightened into silence, and the surrounding guards were frightened when they saw Famine slapped people and flew them away. They didn't even take action, no. Not even with hands.

Of course, Famine doesn't care about their reaction. In the past, not revealing his identity was just to avoid the trouble caused by chaos. Now that a bigger trouble is in front of him, it doesn't matter if he reveals his identity.

"Everyone, jump into the sea for me. Don't wait for me to knock you into the sea."

Famine said with a cold snort.

Yes, the troubleshooting method is that simple and crude.

She could probably determine that the destroyer should be a Shasha Fruit user, or at worst a Devil Fruit user. It was impossible to erode the numerous bridge piers without attracting the attention of others with just domineering power - at least it was impossible without attracting her attention.

And Devil Fruit users cannot jump into the sea.

Regarding this order of famine, all the workers looked at each other in shock. After hesitating for a moment, many hard workers jumped off the sea like dumplings.

Although I don’t know who the person who gave the order was, the guards didn’t come forward, and few of the peons were willing to raise their eyebrows.

"You guys, get down too."

Famine said to the guard.

Who knows if the saboteur is lurking among the guards?

One of the guards finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked straight towards Famine.

"Who are you? The order here cannot be interfered with..."

"Peng!"

Before he finished speaking, the guard's body exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Famine took back his hand, looked coldly at the frightened people around him, and said, "I am order."

She was too lazy to explain too much to these people. The investigation is just to retain as many coolies as possible, but efficiency must also be emphasized.

Anyone who questions her or feels strange will be killed directly. This may result in a wrong kill, but it is impossible to miss.

This kind of bloody scene reoccurred in several work areas. When the dead appeared, the investigation became more efficient.

Of course, among the hard workers, there are indeed those with Devil Fruit abilities who cannot enter the sea. They tried to explain the famine.

However, no one else can determine the abilities of Devil Fruit users.

therefore……

"Tick tock, tick tock..."

Rivers of blood flowed on the Labor Bridge.

In about half an hour, all work areas of the entire Labor Bridge were basically inspected, and a mass of flesh and blood of unknown shape appeared in many work areas.

The hard workers who finally crawled back from the sea looked at this scene and did not dare to say anything or ask anything. Even the foreman could only suppress his panic, and absentmindedly reorganized the construction under the command of Famine.

But although the investigation is over, the famine is still not relieved.

After all, she only checked the work area, but there are gaps between work areas. With such a long labor bridge, it is impossible to have people everywhere.

There are sometimes workers working in the places between work areas.

Such a large scope...

It's really troublesome to check.

"Kill someone if you see them."

Such thoughts flashed through Hungry's mind.

…

In fact, An and Lilia were indeed not in the work area.

As mentioned before, all materials at the Labor Bridge construction site were transported by pallets. The trolleys run on temporary tracks.

However, such tracks can only support very simple carts, and a lot of food and water are placed on the carts in the open air. In order to prevent birds such as seagulls from destroying the materials on the carts, one or two peons or guards will usually follow the carts when transporting them between two work areas.

In order to destroy the bridge pier, An and Lilia volunteered to take on this job.

The foremen on the Labor Bridge are different from those in the slave kingdom. Strictly speaking, they are also people who get paid to do things. Therefore, they did not have too much trouble with the two "weak" little girls.

At this time, An and Lilia, together with a guard, were riding a cart slowly toward the front of the Labor Bridge.

The two of them still don't know what happened on the Labor Bridge.

But they knew that in an hour or two Mary would reach the Labor Bridge. Then they won't have to pretend anymore.
