Chapter 341: The Great Whale’s Desire and Ditto
Boom! Boom!
On the navy's warships, massive steam turrets slowly rotated, accompanied by roaring steam sounds. Shells shot out like angry dragons emerging from the sea, cutting across the sky and accurately hitting the defensive towers on Devil Island, stirring up explosions and fire!
On Devil Island's towers, pirates responsible for observing the enemy situation gathered together.
They had no mood to resist the navy's attacks, instead using telescopes to observe the situation at the island's edge.
In that location, something major that would determine the entire battle's outcome was happening!
A red-haired doctor holding a telescope watched the Blood Demon Doctor she secretly admired, clutching her chest tightly:
"Damn it, my respected Blood Demon Doctor, how could he be dragged around like a dog, just like a dog..."
"Stop talking nonsense! The Disaster Messenger has already detected the 'Blood Demon's' defeat! They will soon launch a landing assault on Devil Island!"
"Everyone, this is a life-or-death moment! Black Death Doctor's reinforcements have arrived! Take the new Ascension Potion and let's chop off those bastards' heads!!"
In such large-scale naval battles, legendary combatants were crucial. Although the Blood Demon Doctor was a terrifying nightmare for researchers, for pirates fighting on the front lines, he was like a god!He was powerful, handsome, and made enemies tremble with fear!
With his sculpted physique, the Blood Demon Doctor had attracted many fierce female pirates who actively wanted to become his "little blood snacks."
Chen Qi adjusted his grip on the Blood Demon Doctor's trembling body.
Now, only boundless fear remained in this Blood Demon Doctor's eyes.
Before him stood the nightmare of all Blackfin Crew researchers—Black Death Doctor.
Little Crow saw the distant black skeleton doctor flag and instinctively stepped back.
Although Black Death Doctor valued her talent, and it was under his authorization that she could become the second-in-command at Devil Research Institute.
One could say Black Death valued Little Crow as much as he would value his own daughter.
But facing this insane 'kind father,' she still instinctively felt fear.
"You should run—"
Little Crow bit her finger, instinctively saying to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi looked into the distance:
"Is that a suggestion, a warning, or a command?"
Little Crow looked at Chen Qi before her, mustering courage:
"Command. Black Death Doctor's terror is beyond your imagination. To fight against Black Death Doctor's forces, we need at least three legends, and we only have 2.1. I'm the 0.1..."
Chen Qi picked up two dice from the ground:
"When did you get the impression that there were only two of us?"
Huh? Little Crow turned back, looking surprised at Chen Qi's calm and composed expression under his hood.
The Witch and the Hunter, did they have subordinates?
Previously, the Witch and Hunter had always operated alone!
Chen Qi looked toward the distant waves.
A die was bobbing up and down with the waves.
Little Crow asked trembling:
"Who is it?"
Chen Qi spun a die:
"The captain of the Ice Demon Pirates, the working emperor, Palu."
...
In the distance, on the rolling waves, the Devil Doctor ship.
"I'm already high as hell! These shitty bastards actually dare to target our research institute!"
A pirate codenamed Mad Dog from the Blackfin Crew held a pure black syringe, plunging the needle into his main artery.
Crack! Crack!
"Amazing! This feeling! It feels like the Great Whale is defiling me! Amazing! Amazing!"
Mad Dog's bloodshot eyes rolled back, tongue hanging out, laughing maniacally, completely immersed in the Great Whale's power.
Black veins like old tree wrinkles instantly appeared on his arms, and these black veins kept wriggling, becoming like crawling snakes.
Black Glove looked at the madman before him, sitting calmly on a medicine chest:
"Everyone, I think we should prepare for evacuation!"
"Why? Are you afraid of Tiger Shark General?"
Mad Dog picked up dice from the ground, laughing mockingly:
"You know what? After taking the newest potion, one of my subordinates left an indelible scar on Tiger Shark General's asshole! And until now, that wound remains on his asshole!"
Black Glove straightened his collar through the ship window:
"The Blood Demon Doctor is already dead. The Blood Disaster sustained by his Spiritual Core will disappear soon..."
"???"
The madness in Mad Dog's eyes instantly vanished, like a frightened puppy, repeating numbly:
"Blood Demon Doctor is dead, Blood Demon is dead..."
In such a short time, Dragon Tamer King and his Black Whale Dragon King were barely alive, condition unknown, and one of their important combat forces placed in the research institute, the Blood Demon Doctor, was actually already dead!
Everyone in the ship immediately voiced doubts:
"What kind of joke is this?"
In many people's eyes, the Blood Demon Doctor was a monster who wouldn't die even if bathing in scorching magma!
"Not a joke."
A voice, aged and deep yet carrying a hint of laughter, came through.
Everyone instantly stopped their actions, looking toward the doctor in the ship's center.
He wore a pure black cloak, his thin, sharply defined face faintly revealing bones beneath the flesh.
Under his white-haired forehead, two eyes flowed with dark red bloodlight, his appearance resembling the white-haired Lantern Reaper of the Witch Sea.
Black Death Doctor picked up a fresh potion:
"We miscalculated. Both the Blood Demon Doctor and Dragon Tamer King severely underestimated the Black Hunter's combat power after promotion. Even with the Disaster Messenger and debt collectors not taking action, they were no match for the Black Hunter..."
Black Glove, wrapped entirely in bandages, clasped his hands together, asking:
"Lord Black Death Doctor, what should we do next? Should we transfer Devil Island's experimental data, or..."
Now, with Devil Island under heavy artillery fire, to be safe, they had to transfer Devil Island's precious resources, especially the Banshee Potion and Rift Slash skill card, along with large amounts of ultra-rare materials.
Black Death Doctor commanded almost without hesitation:
"Mobilize all forces to capture the Black Hunter. The current state of the Black Hunter and Witch has exceeded my experimental expectations!"
Experimental expectations... Black Glove paused, retorting:
"But capturing two legends isn't simple. To catch them, the price we might pay is Devil Island's countless precious medicines, experimental data, and materials!"
Black Death Doctor's expression remained unchanged, saying coldly:
"I said, capture him."
Everyone shivered, looking at Black Death Doctor with confusion.
Although Black Death Doctor wasn't right in the head, often going mad, he rarely made irrational decisions.
But the current decision was truly too foolish.
To capture the Black Hunter, they would sacrifice many pirates and resources on Devil Island!
Of course, most crucially, in everyone's eyes, with the Blood Demon Doctor dead and Dragon Tamer King combat ineffective, who could capture the Black Hunter, and who would dare to capture the Black Hunter?
For something so ethereal and intangible, losing so many of Devil Island's interests!
Black Glove looked at the blood-red eyes under Black Death Doctor's hood, mustering courage to ask:
"Why?"
Black Death Doctor looked around at everyone, picking up a Great Whale blood potion, holding it up in the air:
"Don't you think there's something abnormal about today's Great Whale blood?"
Abnormal... In the ship cabin, eleven pirates each took out their Great Whale blood potions, carefully observing them.
Inside the sealed syringes, black viscous flesh chunks wriggled, and their wriggling directions were surprisingly consistent—all toward Devil Island's direction—
To be precise, pointing toward one specific point!
Black Death Doctor looked at the potion in his hand, asking:
"Everyone, do you know why, years ago, the Ice Witch frantically slaughtered those madmen contaminated by parasitic sea beasts, those humanoid deep sea monsters?"
A flicker of curiosity appeared in Black Glove's eyes:
"Why?"
Black Death Doctor said with a smile:
"Because during the Dimensional Tide, a deep sea humanoid monster must be born. Under the deep sea's will, this monster's body must possess 'deep sea' power, and this body is the Great Whale's perfect vessel!"
"Precisely to prevent the Great Whale's arrival, the Ice Witch hunted all deep sea humanoid monsters in the Witch Sea. Once, I too believed the Ice Witch had killed the vessel..."
Vessel... Black Glove thought carefully. Over twenty years ago, the Ice Witch's purpose for reviving was to completely exterminate the deep sea monsters.
"Could it be..."
Black Glove's hands began trembling slightly.
Black Death Doctor raised the potion in his hand, showing an extremely obsessed expression:
"Today, I performed a ritual, communicating with the great Great Whale!"
"And for the first time, the Great Whale responded to my call! It's telling me it desires the Black Hunter, wants to touch the Black Hunter!!!"
The Great Whale, desires the Black Hunter... Black Glove shuddered, shocked by this information.
This terrifying existence from the edge world had actually designated a vessel!
The Great Whale's power in the Witch Sea was growing deeper... Black Glove sighed deeply, tugging at the black bandages on his face.
Others looked at each other, unable to conceal the astonishment and excitement in their eyes.
This meant that besides opening the Witch's Coffin and using legends for experiments, they had another new path!
The third-tier Beast Transformer Mad Dog spun the die in his hand, standing up:
"Black Death Doctor, I'll exert all my strength! With the Great Whale's power enhancement, I'll capture the Black Hunter!!"
You're quite humorous... Black Death Doctor smiled slightly, but soon his gaze focused on the toy in the other's hand.
"Where did you get that twenty-sided die in your hand?"
Mad Dog paused, saying:
'We were playing gambling games, Black Glove gave it to me.'
Black Glove... Black Death Doctor turned his head, looking at Black Glove who was continuously approaching him.
This former subordinate of Dragon Tamer King, body completely wrapped in black bandages, like a man in a cocoon!
Black Death Doctor said coldly:
"Stop, then tear off the bandages on your face..."
"Ah?"
Black Glove looked confused, slowly, slowly tearing off the bandages on his face, revealing eyes full of black pus.
In the eye sockets, the right eyeball kept rolling around, eventually turning into a twenty-sided die!
Dice affinity legend!
Black Death Doctor waved his hand:
"Palu! It's really been a long time!"
The Black Glove before him was indeed the captain of the Ice Demon Pirates, the one with a bounty of one billion Shell Coins, one legendary profession card, and one forbidden release card from Whale Father—Palu!
A chance to earn merit! Mad Dog suddenly grabbed his double-edged axe, swinging it at Palu:
"Great Whale, grant me power! Shadow Release. Shadow Axe!"
Without hesitation, Mad Dog immediately used his Shadow Release!
Previously, Blackfin Crew members had seriously injured the legendary Tiger Shark General precisely by relying on Great Whale potions and immediately using Release!
Palu ignored Mad Dog, just widening his eyes, observing Black Death Doctor's every move.
And above Mad Dog's head, at some unknown time, a fist-sized twenty-sided die had appeared, hovering above his head like an angel's halo.
The die spun rapidly, and at the moment the axe swung down, it stopped at the number "3".
"Die!"
A fierce wind howled, the axe descending with countless wailing sounds, striking Palu's shoulder, not even cutting through a single layer of skin.
Mad Dog's hands immediately trembled, not because he feared Palu's defense, but because of his own power.
The axe he held felt strange, as if his power had been reduced to only 30%!!
"Your luck doesn't seem very good."
Palu looked at the number "3" above Mad Dog's head, smiling slightly. Then he pulled out a wheel gun from his chest.
Bang!
The trigger pulled, bullet fired!
At the same time, the die in his eye socket spun rapidly, stopping at the number 19.
I can block it... Mad Dog bent his arm to block.
However, the ordinary bullet suddenly became imbued with Dice affinity aura, its speed and power drastically increased!
Bang!
In an instant, Mad Dog's head exploded like a watermelon, fragments scattering everywhere.
A flicker of astonishment appeared in Black Death Doctor's eyes:
"Spiritual Core already sublimated, Dice affinity forbidden object, Shapeshifter profession, and Dice Release, plus the blessing from the A-tier dimensional rift Goddess of Luck, nearly perfect dice system, completely different from Gambler Loren..."
"Truly worthy of being one of the Twin Pillars of the Imperial Capital, the outstanding disciple of Beiguo's Luck Mentor..."
Black Death Doctor extended a hand full of black energy, slowly, slowly touching Palu's face:
"I'm no match for you, Palu. Unfortunately, today, to capture my dear Hunter and Witch, I called a friend, a friend from the Black Blood Empire..."
Friend? Palu turned his head.
Suddenly, at some unknown time, five soldiers wearing dark red scale armor had appeared on the ship, holding sharp spears!
They all wore blood-red helmets, eyes flashing with red flowing light, containing only killing intent without any extra emotion, like blood-colored armor!
They're Blood General's people!
In the blink of an eye, the five moved like swift wind, rushing to his side, thrusting spears that pierced through Palu's body!
The Shapeshifter's transformations would also weaken physical attributes to some extent.
The 'Black Glove' body couldn't resist these five Black Blood soldiers' thrusts!
"Shapeshift."
Palu murmured softly.
His profession allowed him to store roles he had portrayed, and at appropriate moments, transform into them, gaining some of their abilities!
Instantly, his flesh gradually melted and turned purple, like purple modeling clay. The flesh chunks on his body began shifting, two plump lumps appearing on his chest, azure smooth hair sprouting from his scalp, skin turning fair, some fish scales emerging, and the sounds of painful panting became more pleasing to hear...
This was the 'role' he had selected not long ago—Big Mom's pirate crew's 'Siren,' a beautiful poisonous woman, and also an expert in sea walking ability!
"!!!"
The Black Blood soldiers twisted their spears, preparing to deliver more vicious attacks.
Halfway through transformation, Palu used his long legs, performing a sweeping kick to break free from control, then a flying kick that directly created a large hole in the ship, fiercely leaping into the sea, then running toward the battlefield center.
"Chase!"
The painless Black Blood soldiers, controlled by their armor, stood up again, leaping into the sea to pursue Palu.
Sea walking ability!
Palu ran swiftly across the waves when suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The Witch and Hunter!
He saw Chen Qi's group of three and immediately ran toward them.
"Siren..."
Little Crow looked at the distant blue-haired young woman with disheveled clothing, face full of surprise.
Since Big Mom's disappearance, this Siren who liked to tease men, without Big Mom's protection, had been pursued by Blackfin Crew pirates nursing broken hearts, living a miserable fugitive life.
Why would she appear here?
Master of Disguise... Chen Qi spun the die in his hand, looking behind Palu.
On those towering giant waves, thunder rumbled continuously. In the dim sky, at some unknown time, an illusory dark gate had appeared, and this door was being opened again by countless arms—
"Blood General..."
Chen Qi stopped the die in his hand, the die landing on a rare 'one'.
Boom! Boom!
In this brief moment, everyone on the battlefield simultaneously stopped what they were doing, looking toward the blood-colored giant ship emerging from that giant door, coming from the Black Blood Empire!
