Pirates of the Dead - Chapter 206
The outside world didn’t know Qin Ge’s true identity, but how could the upper echelons of the Navy not know?
As Qin Ge gained the title of Blood Dragon Sword Hero after going to sea and killing powerful enemies, he had long been recognized as the strongest rising star of the younger generation of the Navy. He was highly paid attention to.
Not only Z, but even Sengoku would not tolerate a rising star with strong potential dying because of the CP0 problem. And most importantly, Qin Ge was not a weakling now, but a strong person with extreme combat strength. Even in the Navy, only a few people could suppress Qin Ge regarding combat strength.
In this case, Z wanted to protect Qin Ge. He also believed that Sengoku would do the same. After all, in this chaotic sea, the Marines urgently needed high-end combat power to maintain order.
Qin Ge smiled at his teacher’s reaction. He had already expected it. In the end, the strong were respected in this world. Even if the Marine was not as rough and naked as the pirates, the strong had special privileges wherever they went. And he had already stepped into the ranks of the strong.
“Then I will trouble the teacher. When we return, I will bring good wine to show respect to the teacher!” Qin Ge chuckled. Z laughed a few times and, at the same time, easing the previous dignified atmosphere.
“Teacher, you should have come to the new world many times when you were a general. Recently, I feel that my strength has fallen into shackles. I don’t know if you have found any suitable places for cultivation, such as islands where many powerful beasts live or places where the environment is extremely harsh and can hone your strength!”
After chatting for a while, Qin Ge seemed to think of something and could not help asking. Not long ago, his battle with Jozu had made Qin Ge aware of some of his flaws. Although he had obtained a lot of abilities through the deprivation of the Prison of the Dead, it was also because he needed more skills that he needed more core combat attacks.
He was prepared to take advantage of the time when he was avoiding the Whitebeard pirates to properly temper his abilities and even integrate his complicated skills to form a combat system that was more suitable for him.
Z appreciated and supported Qin Ge when he wanted to cultivate. After thinking for a while, he said: “There are many new worlds, like you said, but with your current strength, it will be very easy for you to feel pressure. I thought of a place where I accidentally found it when I was ordered to enter the new world to hunt down the golden lion!”
“Oh, Teacher, tell me about the situation there!” Qin Ge’s eyes lit up. After all, he was an experienced man. His knowledge and experience were astonishingly rich. He didn’t need to waste his time slowly searching for it.
……
The sea breeze blew on the clear surface of the sea, causing ripples to appear on the sea’s calm surface. Occasionally, strange fish would jump out of the sea and splash up waves.
This was an island that covered an area of about a hundred kilometers. It was shaped like an open palm, with lush trees and flowers growing, making it look peaceful and peaceful.
Well, this was only on the surface. Even from several miles away, one could hear the roars from this island. These roars came from all sorts of unknown beasts. The entire island was emitting a wild aura.
Of course, this was not a big deal. After all, countless islands were occupied by ferocious beasts on the sea. The critical point was that the island looked like it was waking up in spring.
However, if one entered the island, one would find that the temperature of the entire island was over a hundred degrees Celsius. It was like a pot of boiling water. Ordinary people would probably be cooked by the high temperature when they came to the island.
At this time, on the edge of this palm-shaped island, Qin Ge was standing on the sea’s surface, curiously looking at the island in front of him.
“Is this place? The Island of Despair that Teacher Z mentioned!” Qin Ge touched his chin and pondered.
On the island of despair, Z accidentally discovered a deserted island, and it was also where he recommended Qin Ge. After learning about the situation from Z, Qin Ge rushed directly to this place according to the coordinates he knew. He was now recalling his teacher’s description of the island.
On the island of despair, the day’s temperature was as hot as hundreds of degrees Celsius, and the night fell to the extreme cold minus 100 degrees Celsius. It was filled with these two completely extreme temperatures all year round.
It was reasonable to say that the entire island should be a desolate land in such an extreme climate. However, there was no lack of miracles in the Grand Line. The Land of Despair had a unique rule. Not only were the plants growing on the island flourishing, but many beasts lived on it.
Of course, the harsh environment still affected the island. For example, the beasts that could survive on an island with an extreme climate were highly terrifying.
When Z first found the island, he was curious that many creatures still lived in such a harsh environment. He was almost killed by the beasts of the isle and escaped with a severe injury on the verge of death.
At that time, Z was already a Lieutenant General. He was not an ordinary Lieutenant General but an elite Lieutenant General. Moreover, his combat strength was far superior. Otherwise, he needed to be qualified to hunt down the golden lion, who was already a pirate.
“This place seems to be even more dangerous than Luca!”
After the memories ended, Qin Ge also secretly thought. Although there were many changes in the weather throughout the year, whether the heat or the cold winter, it was still within the normal range.
And this island of despair, reading books, these two extreme climates were even more severe than the weather that had changed many times.
As for the beasts on the island, just Z’s personal experience was enough to explain everything. The beasts on this island were complex. It was useless to overthink. He still had to experience it to be sure personally. After watching for a while, Qin Ge tidied up the blood on his waist, stepped on the sea surface, and quickly rushed to the island’s shore.
The distance was pretty close, but he felt that the climate was suitable just now. But as soon as he entered the island, Qin Ge felt the heat coming from all directions. He felt as if he was standing in the mouth of a volcano. The hot air made him unable to breathe.
The skin on his body seemed to be soaked in boiling water. The heat kept wanting to corrode Qin Ge’s body, but his rigid body blocked it. Qin Ge was just a little uncomfortable but returned to normal.
“Not bad. In such a hot environment, it’s easy to train one’s endurance!” Qin Ge was not surprised but happy. He nodded with satisfaction, a hint of admiration on his face.
The worse the environment was, the better the effect of tempering. Qin Ge was away on vacation. The worse the atmosphere was, the happier he was.
