Chapter 144 New World Voyage Log 2: Picking Up a Special Woman
The black submarine sailed on the sea for several days before finally arriving at Brian's new destination, Poison Fog Island.
Even before getting close to the island, one can clearly feel the drastic changes in the surrounding climate and even the environment.
From a distance, the island, shrouded in a thick, toxic purple mist, is situated in the middle of a sea area with an extremely harsh climate. Nearby, many pieces of wreckage, emitting a chemically corrosive odor, float on the surface of the water.
The entire island presents a morbid grayness and distortion, with the vegetation and reefs bearing the marks of burning and corrosion.
"The air here is thick with potent chemical toxins, Master." The lizard girl, Aura, stood on the deck, her already purple scales beginning to shimmer slightly, giving her an eerie and mysteriously alluring appearance.
As a monster girl who controls toxins, Aura is extremely sensitive to the scent of dry poison gas. To her, this environment evokes only one feeling: this is truly home!
"Yes, indeed, and the signs of life on the island are very chaotic and manic, filled with unnatural conflict and suffering."
Brian had already scanned the island through the mist with his domineering aura. There was an abandoned research facility there, as well as many powerful but deformed artificial life forms.
He concluded that this was a failed scientific experimentation site, likely abandoned by some mad scientist after conducting illegal biological experiments in the New World.
"This is really interesting; the New World has all sorts of things." Brian's lips curled into an excited smile. "Places like this often have the most interesting 'defective products' and test subjects."
"Moreover, there's an even bigger surprise on this island." Brian's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Brian made a slight adjustment to the personnel for this island landing, only bringing Boros and the poison-attribute lizard girl Aura, while the rest remained on the warship as usual.
Upon stepping onto the island, a strong chemical and bloody smell assaulted her senses. A ring of flames instantly erupted from Boros's body, enveloping her and shielding her from the poisonous fog. The atmosphere on the island made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Aura squinted, took a deep breath, and inhaled the poison gas into her body, feeling as if she were about to ascend to heaven.
"The life forms here are all distorted. They are not like wild beasts, but more like manipulated puppets," said Peros, looking warily at the group of deformed creatures that had appeared.
Brian nodded, ignoring the deformed creatures on the periphery, and headed straight for the corroded research facility deep within the island. In an open area at the center of the facility, they witnessed a battle taking place.
A group of "artificial creatures" stitched together from various animal and human limbs are besieging a lone, helpless figure. These stitched-together monsters possess immense strength, but move stiffly, have empty eyes, and each attack is driven by a pure desire for destruction.
Brian's gaze locked onto the figure of the woman who was being attacked.
It was a very special life form. It had a pair of long and powerful legs, as well as a pair of upright, alert white rabbit ears. Its muscles were taut all over, and every jump and dodge was as fast as lightning.
Her fur had a strange silvery-white tinge, and blue electric currents flashed across her arms from time to time. This was a unique ability of the Mink Tribe, which had also appeared in the original work.
At this moment, she is fighting a desperate battle against the stitched monsters that are besieging her, relying on her amazing speed and agility, as well as the instantaneous electric shocks that burst from her body.
Surrounded and attacked, she was already covered in wounds, her silvery-white fur stained with blood and corrosive liquid. Her strength was about to be exhausted, but her eyes still burned with an indomitable fighting spirit and despair. She used the electric current in her arms to barely support her body and prevent herself from falling.
"The Rabbit Fur Clan?!" Brian muttered to himself, his eyes filled with interest.
"Interesting." Brian stopped and ordered the two monster girls beside him, "Clear away all the trash in the way, and be careful not to hurt that rabbit fur tribe member. Bring her to me unharmed."
"Yes, Master!"
The battle erupted in an instant.
Boros, unable to contain himself any longer, charged into the group of Stitches like a fireball, his entire body covered in scorching flames.
Flames are extremely effective at controlling these monsters pieced together from various biological tissues, instantly igniting and carbonizing them, emitting a nauseating, burnt smell.
Aura then unleashed a wave of poison gas, only to find it had no effect on the monsters. So she switched to attacking with her snake tail, which was much slower.
But with Beros there, it didn't matter; with her attacks, the battle quickly came to an end.
In less than five minutes, under Boros's frenzied attack, all the troublesome Stitches were completely eliminated.
The rabbit-fur tribe woman, exhausted and bleeding heavily, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. She looked warily at these suddenly appearing "saviors."
Brian slowly walked up to her, looking down into her tired and wary red eyes. Her rabbit ears drooped slightly from weakness, making her look somewhat pitiful.
"Tell me your name, you fur woman?"
"My name is Linglong. I'm a failed product of their genetic enhancement and modification during my mother's womb, imprisoned on this island for endless combat experiments." Linglong's voice carried a hint of sorrow. "If, if I fight for you, can you give me freedom? Give me a place where I can truly belong."
Through Linglong's explanation, Brian learned about her background.
He was indeed a member of the Mink Tribe, but before he was even born, he was taken in by the island's mad scientists for genetic modification, which unexpectedly failed after he was born.
The scientists were furious and imprisoned Linglong on the island, refusing to let her leave and forcing her to fight, fight—
Brian reached out, with an absolute desire to possess and dominate. His palm was large and powerful, radiating an irresistible sense of oppression.
"Freedom? What I'm giving you is something far more powerful than freedom—power and the right to live, and a stage where you can unleash your full potential," Brian said coldly.
"You will be reborn in my legion, and your power will be unleashed to its fullest extent. Tell me, Linglong, do you accept my dominion?"
Looking into Brian's deep and confident eyes, and feeling the terrifying yet unified power emanating from the two monster girls around her, Linglong knew that resistance was pointless.
She was abandoned, experimented on, and imprisoned. This was the only way out the new world offered her: a powerful ruler who at least gave her a clear goal for survival.
She reached out and placed her hand on Brian's palm; her fingertips carried a faint electric current, but no longer held any hostility.
"I accept." Linglong's voice carried the tenacity of the Mink Tribe and the indomitable spirit of a warrior. "I will fight for you, Master. Everything I have belongs to you."
"Very good." Brian smiled with satisfaction. "Welcome to my monster girl army."
He personally brought Linglong back to the warship for emergency treatment and system registration.
As a member of the Mink Tribe, this is a new attempt for him after Otohime. Using this unique race of the world and transforming it into his own army of monster girls, it must be a very interesting scene.
However, such a gifted girl needs a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit to modify her.
In the blink of an eye, his shortage of Devil Fruits has increased again, and this time it's a Mythical Zoan type. It's truly a bittersweet situation.
After searching the island thoroughly but finding nothing of value, Brian left with Mo Xia, somewhat disappointed.
The mad scientist Linglong mentioned had left the island long ago, and all the equipment on the island was now useless and worthless, which was a real pity.
The black-clad submarine once again plunged into the deep sea under the cover of night, continuing its unknown journey.
