Chapter 21 The Legacy of Rocks
Chapter 21 The Legacy of Rocks
After a brief rest on a deserted island in the Calm Belt, Kaido once again transformed into a blue dragon and soared into the sky.
Charlotte Linlin stood atop them, Selene was fixed to Kaido's back by Flame Cloud, and Longbread sat on the back of Thundercloud Zeus.
In Charlotte Linlin's hand, however, was a permanent pointer without any markings.
He swung his long arm forcefully in the direction the pointer was pointing.
"Kaido! He's in that direction!"
The Azure Dragon glanced in the direction the woman was pointing, then twisted its body and flew away quickly.
An hour later.
Kaido and his crew arrived at another deserted island in the Calm Belt.
This deserted island was even more desolate than the one they had just rested on.
To be precise, the island where they had just rested was still habitable.
However, the island is home to many ferocious beasts, and its location in the calm zone makes it vulnerable to attacks from sea monsters.
This deserted island is a pure Gobi desert landscape.
There was nothing but rocks.
Kaido and his three companions landed from the sky, and Longbread cautiously surveyed the surrounding desert.
"Is Lox's legacy really on this island?"
"Hoo hoo hoo, the island the permanent pointer is pointing to is this one!"
"Mommy, and this pointer was taken out of Rocks' coat pocket. I saw Rocks throw the coat to Kaido with my own eyes!"
The long bread nodded slightly.
"Let's look for it then. Hopefully, that bastard isn't playing us."
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Longbread and Charlotte Linlin sat around a campfire with dark faces.
"We found nothing..."
"That bastard Rocks!! He was definitely playing us for a fool!!"
7 days.
They walked the entire island on foot.
They didn't miss a single cave, not even a crack in the rock; they looked at everything.
But still, nothing was gained.
Heavy footsteps sounded as Kaido returned from another direction with Selene.
Charlotte Linlin looked up listlessly and asked.
"Kaido, have you made any gains?"
Kaido shook his head slightly. "We didn't find any place that could be considered a secret room."
"Ugh~ Ugh~~ That bastard Rocks! Even on his deathbed, he had to deliberately disgust us!"
Charlotte Linlin cursed angrily, filled with resentment: "Damn it, she deserved to die!!"
The long bread, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.
"This kind of thing is actually quite normal. No one really wants to share their treasure with others. Let's just consider this a lesson learned."
Kaido silently took out food from his system inventory and distributed it to everyone.
Personally, he didn't think that Rocks would deliberately try to annoy him under those circumstances.
No, there will certainly be disgust and mockery, but the legacy will certainly be real!
However, they have not yet found the right key to unlock the legacy.
"Hey~ Kaido!"
Charlotte Linlin vented her resentment on the roasted sea monster while speaking viciously:
"How about we just use our abilities to flatten this island inch by inch?"
"If Rocks really hid his legacy on this island, I refuse to believe that we wouldn't find it even if we flattened the entire island!"
"If we can't find it even after scraping it flat, then we can be sure that bastard is playing us for a fool!"
"We'll catch a few dogs and go to God Valley to gnaw on his body and bones!"
Kaido shook his head speechlessly.
"Your suggestion isn't very good."
"Let alone how much time and effort it would take us to flatten the entire island."
"If the legacy left by Rocks isn't pure gold and silver treasures, but rather fragile items, then under the coverage of our wide-ranging abilities, even if we do find the treasure's location, the treasures inside will likely be completely destroyed by our own abilities."
Click!
Charlotte Linlin irritably bit into a large bone and chewed it to pieces before swallowing it.
"Damn it, this won't work, that won't work, so tell me what we should do?!"
"Should we continue searching for his unknown legacy on this broken island, or should we head straight to the West Blue and start building a pirate crew?"
"Kaido! Give me a straight answer!!"
Kaido hesitated for a moment, "Don't rush, let me think about it some more. That bastard Rocks had a really twisted sense of humor!"
"The place where he hid his treasure is somewhere I would never imagine. Even if we flattened the island, we might not be able to find it."
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin stopped bothering Kaido, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Only the sounds of people drinking and eating meat continued.
Just then, Selene quietly reached out her little hand.
"Um... I have a guess, I don't know if you'd like to hear it?"
Kaido and his two companions immediately turned their attention to her.
"What guess? Tell me!"
Selene swallowed the food she was still chewing.
"Since we can't find treasure on the surface of the sea, why not consider what lies beneath the surface?"
"Are you an idiot?!"
Charlotte Linlin scoffed with disdain, "We're all ability users, are you trying to make us all go down into the water and feed the fish?!"
“I’m not a power user!” Selene pointed to herself. “And Rocks wasn’t a power user either!”
"In this windless zone where normal ships can hardly navigate, but flying-type ability users can pass through unimpeded, for a swimming expert like Rocks, underwater caves must be the safest place to hide treasure, right?"
"Moreover, the underwater area is the nest of giant sea kings, so even if others like me thought of the underwater cave as a treasure location."
"But once they actually go into the water, there are probably very few people who can safely bring the treasure out."
Upon hearing this, a thunderbolt suddenly struck Kaido's mind.
"Yeah! That bastard Rocks! He can swim, you motherfucker!!"
"And that bastard isn't afraid of giant sea monsters at all!!"
"凸(艹皿艹)!!"
Charlotte Linlin and Longbread finally realized what was happening.
"That damn Rocks bastard! He's fucking disgusting!!"
Charlotte Linlin's beautiful eyes widened.
"Kaido, what do we do? Should we dig this island up to the bone?!"
"Three feet is far from enough!"
Kaido sighed helplessly, "That bastard will definitely hide it underwater at least tens of meters deep."
"Especially since we don't know the exact location of the treasure, it means we not only need to completely flatten the entire island, but also dig down dozens of meters, or even hundreds of meters!"
I'm so tired, I'm about to die!
Charlotte Linlin was truly enraged this time, and black and red lightning kept exploding on her body.
"Damn it, that bastard Rocks! He's a real fucking dog!!"
The long bread also frowned deeply.
"If that's the case, then it'll be tricky."
“We’re all ability users here, and the only one who can go underwater is Selene, but Selene just can’t handle those giant sea kings…”
"Are we really just supposed to watch helplessly as Rocks' legacy is buried underwater?!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Seeing the irritable Charlotte Linlin and the sullen Longbread, Kaido suddenly coughed several times in succession.
"Well, actually I can go into the water too."
"What did you say?!"
Charlotte Linlin was taken aback. "Aren't you an ability user too? You're saying you can go underwater?!"
Kaido nodded slightly, "Although we haven't tried it yet, it should be fine."
