Chapter 980: The Destruction of the Kingdom of Lulucia
Franky didn't expect that the first person to wake up would be Zoro. After receiving the information from the robot, he rushed from the cockpit to the laboratory to check the swordsman's body.
At this time, Zoro had already sat up on the hospital bed. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and there were even tear marks running down his right eye.
It can make a strong man cry. It was the first time that Franky saw Zoro cry. This treatment was only seen by the early crew members.
What kind of illusion could break down Zoro's psychological defenses and make him cry again?
Zoro's left eye closed again and he turned into a one-eyed dragon again. He looked at his companion sleeping on the hospital bed and couldn't help but start to worry.
"We were careless this time. The giant that was glowing white used his dream-making ability, which even the domineering aura in my body could not resist."
The swordsman understood Abro's illusion of light as the ability to lead people into dreams, and what happened in the illusion was like a second occurrence being replayed.
The illusion that temporarily trapped Zoro was the most painful memory of the swordsman's life. The environment of the other crew members was completely opposite to his.
If the illusion of light appears too beautiful, the people trapped in the illusion will easily forget the reality and choose not to wake up and stay in the dream forever, becoming a corpse that can only breathe but not move.
Things were more serious than Franky had imagined. He tried to use external force to interfere with the brain, but the only result was electric shock to the skin. Increasing the power of the electric shock could not wake up his companions.
Since there was no way to solve the problem scientifically, Franky could only look at Zoro for help, and glanced at the scar on the swordsman's left eye, thinking that the other's left eye no longer existed.
Unexpectedly, this time, Franky saw in the surveillance video that Zoro's left eye broke free from the control of its master and opened on its own.
Zoro's left eye is very beautiful, completely different from his right eye. Franky thinks it might have been transplanted into the eye socket later, and it probably has some special abilities that are inconvenient to display.
The swordsman asked which direction the ship should go now that it has dived into the deep sea. Franky was originally maneuvering the ship and heading towards Cake Island according to the recorded pointer.
Sanji was kidnapped and forced to marry a woman he had never met. As his companion, you can't just watch him jump into the fire, so you have to try to rescue the groom.
Zoro looked at Luffy, whose mouth was drooling. He could guess that his captain must have endless banquets in the Land of Light, surrounded by meat and wine.
The Straw Hat Boy's own appetite makes it difficult for him to wake up from the illusion of light. Zoro has no hope in his captain's brain, "Don't go to Cake Island first, I'll give you a new address. The special ability of that guy's eyes may be able to wake up his friends."
Based on the new address provided, the Thousand Sunshine submarine changed direction and entered the dangerous doldrums to search for an island that was not marked on the map.
There is a friend of Zoro who now holds the other party's life card. Following the instructions on the life card, he will definitely be able to find him in the Calm Sea.
After debugging the system into automatic driving, Franky no longer has to stay in the cockpit all the time. The robot will steer the ship for him and help him avoid the sea kings in the doldrums.
"Zoro, I'm curious about your eyes. If you don't want to talk about it, don't force yourself."
Franky is always curious about new things. He used the supercomputer to look for information about the swordsman's magical left eye, but found nothing.
Unknown things that appear for the first time always arouse the curiosity of outsiders. Zoro looked a little sad. He raised his left hand and stretched out a few fingers, stroking the scar on his left eye. This was a past he did not want to recall.
"Franky, have you ever been to the Kingdom of Lulucia?"
The Kingdom of Lulucia is the paradise of the first half of the Grand Line. It is a medium-sized populous kingdom with a permanent population of nearly one million.
It is an indispensable taxpayer for the Gods (Gold from Heaven), attracting a large number of pirates to stop here, boosting local consumption and spiritual outlook.
I heard that the king and his family were very cruel and exploited the people under their rule extremely severely. Although the country was not short of natural resources, many people did not have enough food to eat, which led to periods of public resentment and riots.
Unfortunately, all this is history. The Kingdom of Lulucia was destroyed several years ago and most of its citizens died in an unknown natural disaster.
The remnants of the Kingdom of Lulucia are rarely seen at sea. Their memories of what happened in their country are damaged, and they can only recall a few fragments occasionally, but are unable to string the information together.
The entire island of the Kingdom of Lulucia has completely disappeared, leaving a black hole in its original location, continuously swallowing up sea water. No one knows where this sea water will flow to.
Like other outsiders, Franky only knew about the Kingdom of Lulucia but not the reasons behind it. Unfortunately, Zoro was an eyewitness to this event.
"Three years ago, I went to the Kingdom of Lulucia with a ninja. I lost one of my eyes permanently there, and at the same time gained a new eye. I gained the new ability to see through death."
Zoro did not hesitate to tell the metal robot Franky about his own experiences and how he went to the Kingdom of Lulucia and met someone he would never forget in his life.
After being slapped away by Tyrant Bear with the Meat-Puff Fruit, Zoro landed in a haunted place that ordinary people cannot see - the Island of Hades.
When Zoro met Kenpachi Zaraki, the guardian of the Underworld Island, he became both a teacher and a friend to the hot-tempered old man. After constant exchanges, his sword skills began to improve by leaps and bounds.
Kenpachi Zaraki didn't have any sword skills, and his fight against Zoro was very simple and unpretentious. At the beginning, he could easily defeat the green algae-headed man with one sword, leaving the newcomer to the island seriously injured.
Fortunately, there is a pink-haired girl who keeps treating Zoro, wrapping his wounds with bandages and even tying a beautiful bow with the bandages.
Yachiru Kusaka is responsible for the diet of the two grown men. He also serves as a lookout, observing every move of the Underworld Island. Those monsters always run out from the cracks in hell.
It takes two swordsmen to work together to deal with the Hollows. At the beginning, Zoro can only kill some weaker Hollows. For the higher-level Hollows, the three-sword swordsmanship is completely unable to break the defense.
Kenpachi Zaraki basically killed one Hollow with one sword, which shows how big the gap in strength between the two swordsmen is. Zoro has the patience to seek advice from the strong, and he spent the next few years slowly on the Island of Hades.
Fighting - sparring - recuperating - eating - sleeping, these are the main contents of daily life. Most people simply cannot endure such a boring hell.
Zoro, a battle maniac, meets another battle maniac. He is happy with the boring life and is happy to fight with Kenpachi Zaraki every day.
