Chapter 319 They can get in, but they can't get out.
"My God, there are so many mosquitoes here!" Jien had already swatted the insects that had bitten him for the third time.
As a naval officer, she naturally wasn't afraid of insects, but she didn't like the creature, especially after it had bitten her several times.
Moreover, the flying insects in these dense forests are often poisonous.
Of course, Gion's physical condition is no joke.
If Fujitora and Green Bull hadn't appeared in the World Military Draft, she and Kake would already be admirals.
So she can withstand this level of toxicity.
"I brought some antidote with me, so I can take some when I feel unwell."
Roman took out his personal belongings.
"But you don't seem to have this problem." Seeing that Roman's skin was as good as ever, Jiaji was a little curious.
"After all, I am in a vegetative state, and I exude the scent of plants."
Because she ate a Devil Fruit, she emits a grassy scent that is difficult for humans to detect.
But to the insects, Romans was no different from the grass here, so they naturally wouldn't bite her.
"But you've reminded me." Roman then conjured several flowers and surrounded Jien and Kakei.
"With these scents mixed together, you should be able to avoid mosquito bites."
"What an amazing power." Jien smelled her hands, and sure enough, the scent had changed.
but……
She casually drew the knife.
"It seems there are quite a few creatures here welcoming us."
“Ah, that’s true.” Kakei also withdrew his gentle smile and glanced at the menacing eyes around him.
Although the smell has changed, it can't fool the other large carnivores here.
After all, they have eyes.
"Well then, we can have some fun now." Roman smiled broadly as he looked at the enormous creature before him.
……
Sure enough, its activity was unexpectedly strong.
Roman is experiencing the island in his own way.
The Boeing Islands, or rather, its botanical name, the Baron of the Stomach.
Unlike most plants, it has a sophisticated digestive system, which it uses as nutrition to grow.
It's somewhat similar to what I did.
And they are also very cunning.
I was separated from Gion and Kakei for a short while when they were dealing with those wild beasts, and now I can't even see their shadows anymore.
Something's fishy!
It should be said that the plants here are trying to separate them.
But precisely because of this...
"Ah, a guest has arrived. No, are they lost? Ah, don't worry, I, the hero of the sea Helicis, can solve all your troubles."
With a perfect 360-degree spin, Helix appeared before Roman in a beautiful pose.
"Don't worry, miss, I can solve all your problems here..."
"A talking rhinoceros beetle?" Roman blurted out immediately, his words carrying the weight of Helix's previous incessant chatter.
Helix: (?○Д○)?( p_q)
Although he couldn't see the face, Roman could tell that the man was devastated; he seemed to have lost some color in his skin.
Of course, Roman didn't underestimate this seemingly silly Helix.
Even if she didn't know the plot, she should know that the people who could live on this island were not as simple as they seemed.
However, Helix certainly had no ill intentions.
His name itself comes from a heroic figure in ancient Greece.
If we consider whether he truly lives up to his name, his personal qualities should be quite good.
"In short, this is a dangerous place, you must..."
“I know the creatures here are dangerous.”
"No, no, no, it's not just living things, it's..."
“I know that the island is alive.”
"No, no, no, the danger is not only that, but also..."
"I know that once you step onto this island, you basically can't get out, right?"
Helix: "..."
I always feel like I have no say in anything.
"So you are very aware of the dangers of this place?"
"Yes."
"And you came in willingly on your own initiative?"
"Yes."
Helix: "..."
I don't think I can figure it out myself.
"Then why did you come in?"
Helix couldn't understand why the person who came would still step onto this path if they knew it was a one-way street.
She doesn't seem stupid.
"The plants here will block any creature that tries to leave, because this is its restaurant, and it won't allow any food to leave."
“Of course I have a purpose, and it is very simple, Mr. Helix.”
"So your purpose is..."
"Of course, it's for conquest."
"Conquer? You mean conquer this island?"
Helix swallowed hard.
"Yes."
“How is that even possible?” Helix clearly didn’t think Roman could do it.
"Well, how will we know if we don't try? Since you're a resident here, could you please show us the way?"
Where do you want to go?
"Didn't you just say that you can get in but not out? So I'll do as it pleases and go to the very center of this place."
……
Outside the Boeing Islands.
"Hey, hey, boss, it's me. I have a feeling this time there's going to be big news."
