Chapter 130 Survival Game! The Judgment Named "God"
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, dappling into the cabin of the going merry.
Inside Tatsuya's room, it was already a mess.
Shirts, pants, and even a silk nightdress were scattered all over the floor.
Extending from the doorway to the bedside, it was as if a fierce "world war" had taken place here last night.
On the bed, an ambiguous atmosphere still lingered in the air.
Nami lay on her side in Tatsuya's arms, her breathing steady and long.
Her signature long orange hair was spread casually across the white pillow, tangled with Tatsuya's pitch-black hair; black and orange intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.
The brows that had been tightly furrowed last night because she couldn't bear it were finally relaxed in her sleep, with a faint, satisfied smile hanging on the corners of her lips.
The quilt only covered her halfway, having slipped down to her waist.
Her fragrant shoulders, white as jade and resembling fine mutton-fat jade, were completely exposed, the lines of her collarbone exquisite and alluring.
And on that translucent skin, several conspicuous red marks were dotted.
Like a few winter plum blossoms blooming in the vast snow, they silently recounted the madness and lingering affection of last night.
Tatsuya had long since woken up; he propped his head up with one hand, quietly admiring the beauty in his arms.
"Mmm..."
Looking at those alluring red marks, Tatsuya's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his appetite whetted.
His hand slid slowly down Nami's smooth back, preparing to once again "comfort" his Miss Navigator who had worked so hard all night.
"Zzzzzz"
Just then, the peace of the morning was shattered by a harsh crackle of electricity.
Immediately after, the lazy and arrogant voice of the man who called himself "God"—Enel—was clearly transmitted to every corner through the cloud dials scattered throughout the island:
"Yehahahaha... Good morning, monkeys of the Blue Sea."
Tatsuya's hand stopped in mid-air, his brow twitching violently.
Nami was also woken up by the sound, rubbing her eyes groggily.
The broadcast continued:
"Since everyone is gathered, let's play a game."
"The rules are simple. There is gold on this island, and there is an exit. As long as you can reach the top of the giant beanstalk in the center of the island, you win."
"However..." the sound of Enel taking a bite of an apple came through, "that is in three hours, if you are still alive."
"Run away to your heart's content, before the judgment of God descends!"
Tatsuya sighed, helped Nami pull up the quilt, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes:
"Typical dictator's bad taste... It's really infuriating."
Half an hour later, on the deck.
Everyone quickly assembled.
Although Nami had changed her clothes, her cheeks were still slightly flushed, and she would steal glances at Tatsuya from time to time.
Based on the map and the current situation, the group quickly formulated a grouping plan.
Treasure Hunting Group (Heading South): Led by Luffy, including Robin, Chopper, and Zoro.
Their mission was to go deep into the forest to find the Golden Bell and the ruins, and incidentally, beat up that God.
Ship Guarding Group: Commanded by Nami, including Sanji, Usopp, and two major animal combatants—Clay and Lassoo.
Their mission was to take the going merry away from this dangerous altar area and head to the seaside to provide support.
After the allocation was completed, everyone prepared to set off.
"Wait." Tatsuya suddenly spoke up, "I'm not joining any group."
Luffy tilted his head, looking confused: "Eh? Tatsuya, you're not coming with us? And you're not going to protect Nami?"
Tatsuya adjusted his gloves, a mysterious smile on his face:
"Nami has Sanji, Usopp, and Clay on her side, so I'm very reassured. As for you guys... I don't need to worry at all."
Tatsuya turned around and looked in a certain direction of the forest, a cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes:
"I am a petty person. That priest who rode the bird yesterday, that shot almost burned our ship."
"I don't like leaving such hidden dangers. So... I'm going to clean up some 'trash'."
Zoro heard this, grinned, and tied his bandana around his arm:
"I see, going for revenge? Don't die too ugly, Vice Captain."
"Take care of yourself, you Marimo with no sense of direction."
The operation began.
Not long after the Treasure Hunting Group entered the forest, the directionally challenged Zoro unsurprisingly got separated from everyone at the first fork in the road.
"Damn it, where did Luffy and the others run off to?"
Zoro was lost in the jungle but unexpectedly encountered the Shandian warrior—Braham—wielding two "Flash Guns."
"Outsider, die!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Braham used a breath dial skateboard to move at high speed, his dual guns emitting intense light and invisible "wind bullets."
"What is this? I can't see the trajectory?!"
Zoro fell into a bitter battle and could only dodge by instinct.
After being dazzled by the light, he closed his eyes, and the insights from before surfaced in his mind.
"Can't see... then I'll use my hearing."
"Listen to the breathing..."
On the other side.
Because Luffy was too excited and running too fast, before he could even see the road clearly, his vision suddenly went black.
"Gulp."
A giant sky python as big as a mountain range—the "King of the Sky" Nola—opened its huge mouth and swallowed Luffy, along with his backpack, in one gulp.
Luffy blinked inside the snake's belly: "Eh? Why did it get dark?"
Gods Island, Ordeal of String area.
Everywhere here were dead trees, and between the trees were countless cloud strings so thin they were almost invisible to the naked eye.
Tatsuya was alone, hands in his pockets, walking seemingly leisurely through this deadly trap zone.
"Whoosh—"
A sound of breaking through the air came from the sky.
The priest Shura rode that fire-breathing three-zhang bird "Fuza," holding a thermal spear, and swooped down from high in the sky, his eyes full of cruel laughter:
"Found you! You lone fool!"
"How dare you trespass into my territory alone? In my String Cloud Domain, if you move even an inch, you'll be entangled, and you won't be able to move a step!!"
Shura roared, his spear spewing flames, stabbing straight at Tatsuya's throat.
However.
The black-haired youth was not as panicked as he had expected.
Tatsuya just tapped his toes, and his whole body leapt up lightly.
The next second, a scene occurred that made Shura's eyes pop out.
Tatsuya did not land on a tree trunk, but instead stood steadily—on an extremely thin cloud string originally meant to entangle enemies!
He was like a weightless feather, rising and falling slightly with the cloud string, yet walking as if on flat ground.
"What?!" Shura was shocked, "Standing on the String Cloud?! That's a trap!!"
Tatsuya stood on the thin string in mid-air, his black trench coat flapping in the wind.
"Zzz—"
He slowly drew the black blade at his waist, the edge refracting a cold light in the sunlight.
Tatsuya looked up at the astonished priest in the sky, hooked his finger slightly, and a cold smile, like a hunter seeing prey, curled on the corners of his lips:
"Surprised? For a Ninja, this is just a basic skill."
"Come down, birdman."
In Tatsuya's eyes, the three tomoe rotated slowly, locking onto the figure in the sky:
"The account that wasn't settled yesterday, let's settle it now."
"Let me teach you... what a real 'hunt' is."
