201: Chapter 201 Luo, the child who has fallen into a frenzy"ROOM, Chaotic Space"
A transparent force field unfolded from Law's palm, like an invisible shield, instantly enveloping Smoker and Tashigi.Tashigi stared warily at the transparent dome, her heart filled with unease and doubt.She tried to pierce it with her sword, but found it to be a futile attempt.
With a slight lift of Law's finger, two red heart-shaped objects suddenly emerged from Smoker and Tashigi's chests.They seemed alive, pulsating and shimmering with a faint light.Then, the two hearts swapped positions and entered each other's bodies.
After the red heart was implanted, both of their bodies trembled violently, then slowly closed their eyes and fainted.Luo glanced at the two lying in the snow, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.He knew the exchange surgery had been successful, and he eagerly awaited their reaction upon waking.
"Smoker, Tashigi!" After Law left, the ordinary Marines finally mustered the courage to run to the two unconscious men to check on them.They anxiously called out their names, worried they might be seriously injured.Only when they confirmed they were unharmed did they breathe a sigh of relief, their faces showing relief.They then carried the two away immediately.Meanwhile, Law, just as he was about to turn and leave, was shocked by what he saw.The Straw Hat crew, leading a group of giant children, were rushing towards the door.They were menacing, their eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Law frowned and shouted.However, the Straw Hat crew ignored his shout and continued charging forward.They seemed to have their own goals and plans, and Law had no idea what they wanted to do.
"Tch, what a troublesome bunch," Luo Gang thought as he prepared to use his previous technique again, only to see that former Navy Admiral Aokiji was also among them.Luo immediately abandoned the idea; he didn't want his plan to end before it even began.
On the other side of the snow, Brooke was walking forward with resentment, muttering to herself, "These guys just left me here all alone!"
As he walked, he thought about what had just happened.Those people of unknown origin saw him, mistook him for a corpse, and then simply left him in the snow.
"It's so cold, it's freezing my bones!Ah, though there's no bone marrow to freeze, hehehehe," Brook said, trying to lighten the mood with his skeleton jokes, but he couldn't help thinking, "Luffy-san, Zoro-san, Sanji-san, where are you guys?I'm so lonely as a skeleton."
Brooke continued walking forward when suddenly he noticed a person buried in the snow ahead.Startled, he quickly ran over to check on them.
"Sir!Sir!Are you alright?" Brooke called out as he dug through the snow.However, when he saw the figure in its entirety, his skull-like face turned green instantly.
"A monster!" Brooke screamed in terror.The figure before him wasn't a complete person, but a monster with only half a body.This monster had no legs or head, only one hand and a sword.
Brooke's scream attracted the monster's attention, and it immediately drew its sword, preparing to attack Brooke.Although the monster only had half a body left, it moved with great agility.
After a minute of fierce fighting, Brook finally managed to freeze the monster into an ice sculpture.He gently tapped the ice sculpture with his sword, muttering to himself, "I never imagined such a creature would exist in the New World.My eyes almost popped out of their sockets, though I don't have any eyeballs to pop out of my sockets."
"Hey, isn't this Brook?What are you doing here?" Just as Brook was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.He turned around and saw Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Usopp leisurely walking towards him.
"Luffy-san, I'm so glad you're safe and sound!" Brook exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw Luffy and the others, and told them everything that had happened to him.
"Um.it's not really anyone's fault for abandoning you.When you're motionless, you really do look like a corpse." Luffy managed to squeeze out this remark after hearing this.
"Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, Luffy-san, you've really hurt my feelings." Upon hearing this, Brook felt extremely disappointed and squatted down to start drawing circles.
"Alright, when are you going to stop being so down?Luffy wasn't wrong.By the way, what exactly is that thing?" Usopp walked over and patted Brook on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
"Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho~", Brooke said sadly as he led the four of them to the ice sculpture.
However, just as Brook was about to speak, his lower body, which Usopp had been dragging along, suddenly became unusually agitated.It forcefully broke free from Usopp's grasp and charged at the ice sculpture like a wild horse, kicking it with all its might as if trying to rescue its upper body from inside.
Zoro looked at Luffy, who nodded and unleashed a scorching flame without hesitation.Instantly, the intense heat melted the ice frozen on his upper body.
At the same time, the legs, as if excited to fly, leaped with astonishing speed, eagerly reassembling themselves with the upper body.Once successfully united, the body raced off in one direction without looking back, seemingly extremely impatient to do something.The four exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other's thoughts.They quickly followed the strange body, and soon it reached the entrance of a cave.Familiar voices echoed from within.The four, along with the headless body, entered, only to find everyone gathered around a group of giant children, discussing something."So, what's going on with these children?Are they giants?" Sanji wondered, looking at the enormous children.At that moment, Chopper finished examining the children and said solemnly, "No, that's not it.According to my examination, these children were originally normal-sized, but they took some kind of drug that turned them like this."
The crowd's faces darkened upon hearing this.Who could be so heartless as to experiment on children?Suddenly, several boys became agitated, shouting, "We want to go back!Let us go back!We want to go back to candy!" The only conscious girl was helpless, calling out to her frenzied companions, but to no avail.Inspired by these children, more and more children joined the frenzy.The crowd was frantic, unsure how to stop them.Just then, Luffy intervened, instantly binding the frenzied children with countless thick wooden vines.
