Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

With a long sigh, Li Quaid opened his eyes, his azure blue pupils were a little dazed.

He sat up straight from the bed, put his hands on his face and gently rubbed it, as if he was waking himself up from the confusion in his dream.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

A lazy inquiry came from beside him, and the purple-haired beauty Ingrid reached out and grabbed the sheet to wrap her body, looked at Li Quaid and asked softly, "Did you dream about something bad?"

"It's nothing." Li Quaid smiled slightly: "It's just a dream...that's all."

With that said, he got out of bed and walked to the closet to start changing.

Although Li Quaid is 42 years old, his charm is still the same. His handsome face was as introverted and mellow as old wine after being soaked by the years. His long golden curly hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his muscles were streamlined without a single scar.

[King without injury], [Perfect Snake], [Jeweled Snake]... Many titles describe Li Quaid's frightening record - no injury. No enemy can leave a scar on him, as a king, as a warrior, he is a perfect existence.

Li Quaid simply put on a long brown trench coat, a white shirt and slim trousers inside, and the ordinary clothes showed an extraordinary demeanor.

"Ingrid, I'm going to the 'quiet room' to meditate for a while, you can deal with it." With that said, Li Quaid's figure disappeared from the room as if erased by an eraser.

"Yes, my lord."

Looking at the empty room where only her was left, Ingrid sighed softly, got up and put on a black dress, and walked out of the room.

The sun was shining, and the gentle breeze was blowing across his face. After Ingrid opened the door and walked out of the front porch, he saw rolling hills, streams surrounding the city, and lush forests.

She is located at the top of the Pyramid Kingdom, and the entire huge Pyramid Kingdom is arranged downward in a ladder shape. There are both the Harvest City that is baptized by the sun and moonlight on the outside, and the Nightless City that is placed inside the pyramid. People live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is rich and powerful. Although it has never joined the world government, no pirates or other countries have ever dared to invade this country.

This is the miraculous place in the South China Sea - Tamoanchan, the Kingdom of Clouds.

Under the protection of mountains, dense forests and streams, the extremely huge pyramid-shaped city towers into the sky, majestic and majestic, and the magnificent palace complex on the top is the palace of the "King of Snakes" - [Snake Nest].

Ingrid walked slowly along the winding stairs towards the top of the hall. The guards along the way bowed their heads respectfully when they saw her.

In the end, she reached the top of the hall, and in front of her was a huge double door with complicated spiral patterns engraved on it.

"My lord, I'm here." Ingrid did not push open the door, but said standing outside the closed door.

"……let's start."

There was a huge flow of breath and a strange hoarse sound from behind the door, as if there was a huge monster crouching at the door and suppressing its own malice.

Ingrid clapped his hands, and an invisible transparent wall blocked the entire gate and the surrounding walls. For a moment, all the sounds disappeared.

Ingrid, the silent man who ate the fruit of superhuman silence, has the ability to create soundproof walls and silent assassinations.

After finishing all this, Ingrid bowed slightly to the closed door, then turned and left.

The moment she left the interior of the soundproof wall, there was a deafening roar of wild beasts coming from inside the door.

Only she knew that the King of Snakes had long ago—

crazy.

Great route, no wind.

With the help of the external turbines on both sides of the hull, the Ardent Ark is heading towards the South China Sea in an orderly manner.

The windless belt, as the name suggests, is really no sea breeze. It is basically impossible for ordinary sailboats to pass through here, only with the help of [external forces], such as external turbines, pulled by sea beasts, and so on.

Strange to say, even in such a dangerous windless zone, there are still signs of human habitation on many islands.

The most famous of these is the "Nine Snakes Island" commanded by the "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock of 【The Seven Martial Seas under the King". It is said that only women exist there, and all travel is by boats pulled by huge sea snakes.

Just yesterday, Victor and his party came across a windless island. There is an ancient tribe living on it, and its name is [硌石tribe]. They worshiped Victor who came to the island on the [Ship to the Sky] as a god, and brought Victor and his party into the tribe and held a grand banquet to entertain them.

On this small island named 'Frodo', Victor and others discovered that the Shishi tribe was a village built around a huge square stone tablet that could not be destroyed. They firmly believe that this huge stone tablet that will not be damaged or even leave a trace of scars is a gift and reward from the gods to them, and they call it the "God's Rock".

Victor and Robin were surprised to find that this "God's Rock" was the long-lost [History Text]. They also encountered a similar stone tablet in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island, which looked almost exactly the same.

At the banquet, everyone was eating, drinking and laughing to their heart's content. Matthew and Wu Hongji are cooperating with the tribe's chefs to roast sea beast meat and prepare salad with the ingredients on Passion Ark.

In the corner, Robin obsessively stroked the surface of the stele, carefully interpreting the original meaning of the historical text.

Victor brought a piece of grilled sea animal meat and a glass of coconut juice to Robin's side. Seeing that she was focused, he stopped disturbing her, turned around and left quietly.

"Victor, wait a minute." Robin turned to look at Victor who was about to leave: "I have already deciphered the content of this historical text."

"You know, I don't care much about the content of the historical text." Victor walked back to Robin: "It's you, hurry up and eat something."

"No, this is very important." Robin grabbed Victor's hand and pulled him to the front of the historical text, and said nervously: "The things described in this historical text are amazing, you must listen to me."

Victor had no choice but to sit down with Robin, handed the coconut juice to Robin, and said, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

Robin took a sip of coconut juice to calm down, and then said slowly:

"This stele records the war between three powerful animal devil fruit ability users 800 years ago. Yes, it is 'war' rather than 'battle'. Because their power is too strong and terrifying, People call them 'scourges' in awe."

"It's just devil fruit ability users. Some ability users really look outrageous, right?" Victor smiled, cut a piece of roasted sea beast meat, threw it into his mouth, and chewed.

Robin patted Victor's arm slightly annoyed: "Don't interrupt, listen to me."

Seeing Victor raised his hands in surrender, she continued: "At that time, people divided the three animal-type devil fruits into a special class, a title that has been lost now—"

"Mythical species."
