Chapter 188: The Man-Eating Sea
Raptorex glanced at the one-meter-wide wound on his leg and remained silent for a long time.
Then he shook his head.
Fresh flesh rapidly sprouted from the wound, healing at an astonishing speed.
"Captain, there are Marines trying to commit suicide!"
At this moment, Robin walked out of the cabin, came before Jiang Qize , and said softly.
They hadn't killed the officer-level Marines from the G8 Naval Base. Instead, they had all been captured and locked up in the holding cells inside the ship.
After all, the Dragon Flame was huge and had very few people aboard—there was plenty of space to keep them locked up.
"Knock out anyone who tries to kill themselves, then starve them for a few days,"
Jiang Qize said calmly.
He didn't have that many Dinosaur Fruits right now to control them. There were only two Dinosaur Fruits left.
Otherwise, why would he bother with all this trouble—he'd just control them directly and be done with it.
"Yes."
Robin then turned and went back inside.
"Looks like we need to find some deserted islands and catch a few dinosaurs,"
Jiang Qize muttered to himself.
Something as good as Dinosaur Fruits was naturally something the more, the better. If possible, he even wanted to capture and control all the powerful figures across the seas.
When that time came, so what if the world's future ultimate boss appeared?
"Camon, don't follow the shipping route. Find an uncharted island,"
he immediately said to Camon.
"Yes!"
Camon replied.
In fact, sailing off the established routes was extremely dangerous. The routes were sea paths carved out through years of perilous exploration by those who came before, with Log Poses left behind as records.
These Log Poses recorded each of those routes. Although the magnetic field had to be set at every location, the routes themselves were stable.
There were also some blank Log Poses with no records at all, but they could still point toward the magnetic fields of nearby islands.
What Camon took out was precisely a blank Eternal Log Pose.
The Eternal Log Pose began to spin, pausing briefly at three positions.
With a single glance, Camon knew that two of them were existing routes, while the weaker one indicated a new island.
He then walked over to the control console and directly steered the Dragon Flame to change course.
Before long, the Dragon Flame vanished into the vast sea.
…
The Man-Eating Sea.
This stretch of ocean possessed countless rare treasures and precious ingredients, but it was also extremely dangerous. Countless predecessors had entered this sea, and only a few ever made it out alive.
And today, another ship sailed into this region once more.
Jiang Qize stood at the bow of the Dragon Flame, gazing at the distant islands that looked like tiny dots. These islands lay very close to one another.
"This sea area… is interesting,"
he murmured.
The moment they entered this sea, his Observation Haki had already sensed schools of iron-gold, big-headed monster fish about a meter long gathering beneath the Dragon Flame, trying to gnaw at the hull.
These monster fish had mouths like gluttonous beasts, occupying half their bodies. Two rows of teeth gleamed like blades, flashing with cold light.
Most importantly, their numbers were enormous, already covering the submerged portion of the Dragon Flame's hull.
But the Dragon Flame was forged entirely from steel—there was no way it would be so easily bitten through by these creatures.
As the Dragon Flame drew closer, the full appearance of the islands gradually came into view.
Ancient trees towering dozens of meters high stood across the islands. The cries of birds, beasts, and insects rang out like an eerie accompaniment. Dense foliage cast deep shadows within, making the interior look dark and foreboding, like a demonic realm with a gaping, blood-red maw.
"Roar—roar~"
Before even setting foot on land, Jiang Qize heard the beastly roars coming from the island, and a smile spread across his face.
"Looks like there won't be a shortage of dinosaurs here."
"Anyone who wants to go ashore, go. Anyone who doesn't, stay on the ship."
He said to them.
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone responded in unison.
