Chapter 673 Blackbeard Defects
The currently known distribution of Poseidon's seal tokens is as follows:
Whitebeard holds "ceramic beard" and "Spanish silver coins", Davy Jones holds "old glasses" and "iron knuckles", Ursula holds "broken dragon scales", and the Temple of Poseidon has placed "fake eyeballs" and "love marks".
So far, Kyogre's replacement teeth and Neptune's trident scraps have not officially appeared.
In order to avoid the risk of being chased by others through perception, Luke has stuffed the fake eyeball and the love mark of SeaAngemon into the temple, and thus lost control of the location of other tokens.
However, for Luke, who has set up the Dark Crystal Tower in advance and can enter and exit the temple at will, holding the token is obviously more disadvantageous than beneficial.
It was the full-time observation in the seabed just now that made Luke clearly realize that he is still the weakest among the weak in terms of ocean battles.
Let alone the existence of sea monster Paul, octopus sea witch, and David Jones, who are proficient in water, the explosive power of Kaido who has lost all the devil fruit abilities in the water is enough to kill himself, and most of his abilities are almost useless in the water.
This is the limitation that normal humans will inevitably encounter in the water.
From this point of view, the scene setting of gravity, air, and treadable ground in the broken sea world is completely for the "human" ground race.
It's just that the result of this battle is something Luke didn't expect.
Kaido didn't lose, but he disappeared with the ghost ship.
Luke, who is more familiar with David Jones's authority, immediately realized that Kaido should have been forcibly smuggled into the Nether Sea as a living person.
In the Caribbean setting, the ocean has an exclusive underworld area called "Nether Sea". All the dead souls who died on the ocean or because of the ocean will appear here, waiting for extradition by others.
And David Jones's identity here is actually equivalent to Charon, the boatman under Hades who is responsible for extraditing all the dead souls.
Theoretically, living people cannot enter the Nether Sea, but there are two exceptions in the original work.
One time, Jack Sparrow, who was desperate, charged at Paul's terrifying mouthparts, and then entered the Nether Sea as a living person, along with his beloved Black Pearl.
Another time, Barbossa took a whole ship of living people and used a principle similar to the flat earth theory to actively sail to the end of the world, forcibly broke into the Nether Sea, and finally rescued Jack.
Davy Jones's ocean authority is indeed the highest in the sea monster world, but in terms of direct combat capabilities, Luke does not think he will be a match for a monster like Kaido, so if he were Davy Jones, he would definitely find ways to get rid of Kaido and trap him in the Nether Sea in disguise.
Just like the three self-proclaimed subordinates, but they were not taken seriously by the Sea Angel from beginning to end, and were finally trapped in the broken sea world.
Authority is more important than anything else. Even if Kaido has the power to break mountains and split the earth, he cannot enter and exit the Nether Sea at will.
If no one outside helps, Kaido will most likely not come back.
Originally, for the pirates, both the Sea Death God and the Nether Sea were just "legends", but these legends gradually became reality before their eyes.
As soon as Luke's words came out, Whitebeard's Moby Dick fell into a brief silence, and then a stronger noise broke out. Everyone's reaction was basically unbelievable.
"Kaido... is dead?"
After the whole person was stagnant for a long time, Whitebeard asked with a dry throat.
Although Whitebeard didn't get along with the drunken and crazy idiot, he still didn't believe that Kaido, who liked to commit suicide the most, would die so easily.
The old man didn't even think that there was anyone in the world who could really kill Kaido except himself in his heyday...
As soon as these words came out, Luke shook his head.
"He should have been taken in alive. This is the authority of Davy Jones as a soul ferryman, but I don't think he would be so kind to take Kaido out again, so you should be fine if you think Kaido is dead. He can't come back anyway."
"...boy, why did you tell us this?"
Luke's news was indeed heavy, but Whitebeard keenly realized that Luke had other purposes.
"It's a gift to you. Anyway, I'm not familiar with the people of the Beasts. Instead of letting this news rot with me, it's better to let you old man exchange some benefits with the Beasts. In addition..."
Luke stretched out his voice and glanced at Jack, who had already shrunk half of his body behind the mast and carefully observed. His original eloquence could not be used temporarily because he knew nothing about Luke.
"I don't know if you, old man, are interested in Davy Jones' immortality, but in theory, as long as we have Jack's compass, we should be able to find the place where his heart is buried.
But I'm still using the compass now, and I'm looking for something. I'll bring it to you when I'm done with it."
"Oh? Don't you want a reward?"
"If you have extra devil fruits, I don't mind."
"You have a big appetite, brat~"
Whitebeard smiled and clenched his fists twice.
Originally, it was thought that the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which was sealed because the sea spurned the domain, had been restored with the departure of David Jones. After this incident, Whitebeard suddenly realized that the devil fruit could be restrained in this way.
And being reminded by Luke, Whitebeard suddenly remembered that one of his stupid sons had indeed found a relatively rare devil fruit recently, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat it directly.
Whitebeard's eyes subconsciously swept across the deck, frowned slightly, and then spread his observation Haki, not only on the deck, but also in the cabin.
... The number of people is wrong!
"Marco!"
Whitebeard's sudden roar made the deck fall into silence again, and everyone's eyes were focused on their captain.
"Dad?"
"Teach and Thatch are missing! Go check the life card! Confirm whether they are alive or dead!"
For the pirates who live on the edge of a knife, death is not uncommon, and they are attacking the navy's Tsukishima this time, so it is impossible for them to be completely unscathed.
But for some reason, Whitebeard suddenly felt something was wrong when he found out that these two were missing from his stupid son.
The life card is a special paper mixed with the original body parts, which can confirm the life status and approximate location of the corresponding owner. Once the person is gone, the life card will also turn into ashes.
Soon, Marco rushed out of the cabin with a sullen face.
"Thatch is dead! But Teach is still alive! He must have failed to catch up with the ship, and is probably still on Tsukishima!"
After hearing Marco's report, Whitebeard took a deep breath and gave a second order.
"... Check again if the devil fruit in Thatch's room is still there."
At this moment, Whitebeard, who often observes the temperament of his stupid sons but stubbornly believes that fatherly love can influence everything, has realized something.
Can he not help but take action after all?
Luke, who was standing aside, thought to himself.
