One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Chapter 484: Temple Crisis, Labyrinth Sea and Ice and Snow Island Exploration



They continued to go deeper into the island and found an ancient temple. The door of the temple was closed and engraved with mysterious symbols similar to those on the nautical chart.

"This must be related to the nautical chart." Ling Tian said.

They studied the symbols on the door and found that they needed to press some symbols in a specific order to open the door. After some attempts, they finally found the correct order and the door slowly opened.

Walking into the temple, there is a mysterious atmosphere. On the walls hang ancient murals that depict mysterious rituals and powerful forces. In the center of the temple, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a crystal ball emitting colorful light.

"This crystal ball doesn't look simple." Kuina said while looking at the crystal ball.

When they approached the crystal ball, it suddenly emitted a strong light, and some images appeared in the light. These images showed a world shrouded in darkness, and people were struggling in pain in the darkness. Then, a mysterious figure appeared in the image, pointing at Luffy and others, as if conveying some kind of message.

"What does this mean? Is the world in danger again?" Luffy asked.

Ling Tian frowned: "It seems so. This mysterious figure may be asking us for help."

At this moment, the light of the crystal ball suddenly turned into darkness, and a powerful suction force came from the crystal ball, trying to suck them in.

"Everyone be careful!" Zoro shouted.

They held on to the objects around them, resisting the suction, but the suction became stronger and stronger, and they were gradually pulled towards the crystal ball.

"Don't give up!" Hancock shouted.

At the critical moment, Luffy thought of a way. He grabbed the pillar of the temple with his rubber arm and pulled the other partners over. They worked together and finally got rid of the suction of the crystal ball.

"There's something wrong with this crystal ball. We have to find a way to destroy it," said Kuina.

They began to look for a way to destroy the crystal ball. In the corner of the temple, they found some ancient weapons and tools. Among them was a hammer that exuded mysterious power and seemed to be able to cause damage to the crystal ball.

Luffy picked up the hammer and walked towards the crystal ball: "Look at me, rubber rubber? Big hammer!" He held the hammer in his arm and smashed it towards the crystal ball. The hammer hit the crystal ball, emitting a strong light, and a crack appeared in the crystal ball.

Zoro, Kuina, Hancock and the Nine Snakes also attacked the crystal ball with various weapons and skills. With their combined attack, the crystal ball finally broke.

As the crystal ball shattered, the temple began to shake violently. They quickly fled the temple, and when they walked out of the temple, the entire island began to change. The thick fog gradually dissipated, the vegetation on the island returned to its normal color, and the strange atmosphere disappeared.

"We seem to have lifted the curse on this island." Ling Tian said.

They returned to the ship and continued to follow the guidance of the nautical chart. In the following voyage, they encountered another mysterious sea area. The water in this sea area was colorful, like a huge oil painting. But under this beautiful appearance, there were huge dangers hidden.

When the ship sailed into this sea area, they found themselves as if they had entered a maze. The surrounding seawater formed walls that trapped them. Moreover, these walls were constantly moving and changing, making it impossible for them to find the exit.

"We're trapped," Luffy said as he looked at the wall of water around him.

They tried to find an exit, but each time they came back empty-handed. During their exploration, they encountered some strange creatures. These creatures looked like jellyfish, but they had huge mouths and sharp teeth. They swam towards the boat and tried to attack everyone.

Luffy activated Gear 3, "Rubber Rubber? Giant Fist? Jellyfish Smash!" He punched at the jellyfish creatures, breaking some of them apart. Zoro used "Three Swords Flow? Water Slash? Jellyfish Cut", and his sword swung quickly in the water, killing many jellyfish creatures. Kuina and the Nine Snakes shot with bows and arrows, and each arrow hit the vital point of the jellyfish creatures. Hancock used "Sweet Sweet Wind? Sweet Protection", and her ability formed a protective film around the ship to prevent the jellyfish creatures from approaching.

After repelling the jellyfish, they continued to look for an exit. Suddenly, Ling Tian discovered some patterns. The movement and changes of these seawater walls seemed to be related to the position of the sun in the sky.

"We can find the exit based on the position of the sun." Ling Tian said.

They followed Ling Tian's method, observed the position of the sun, and then moved in a specific direction. After some effort, they finally found the exit and left this mysterious maze sea.

As they continued sailing, they came to an island covered with ice and snow. The wind was biting cold, the snow was flying, and the temperature was extremely low.

"It's so cold!" Luffy hugged his body and shivered.

They put on thick clothes and set foot on the ice and snow island. The scenery on the island is very spectacular, with huge icebergs and glaciers, as well as some strange ice sculptures. But under this beautiful snowy scenery, there are also hidden dangers.

While exploring the island, they encountered some snow monsters. These snow monsters were huge, covered in thick ice and snow, and had incredible strength. The snow monsters attacked them, smashing the ground with their huge fists, causing an avalanche.

Luffy and the others quickly dodged the avalanche and then started fighting with the snow monster. Luffy turned on the "Tank Man" form of Gear 4 and rolled towards the snow monster: "Rubber rubber? Giant snowball? Snow monster impact!" His body hit the snow monster like a huge snowball, knocking it down. Zoro used "Three Swords Flow? Ice Slash? Snow Monster Break", his sword swung like flowing water in the ice and snow, slashing at the snow monster. Kuina and the Nine Snakes warriors used their flexible body movements to avoid the snow monster's attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack. Hancock used "Fragrant Kick? Ice and Snow Shatter", her legs were powerful, and every kick could shatter the ice and snow on the snow monster.

During the battle, they found that the Yeti's weakness was in their eyes. As long as they attacked the Yeti's eyes, they would be temporarily incapacitated.

Luffy and his team developed a new tactic based on this weakness. They distracted the snow monsters and then attacked their eyes. With the cooperation of everyone, they successfully defeated the snow monsters.

While exploring the ice island, they also discovered an ancient ice cave, the walls of which were engraved with mysterious patterns and words that seemed to be telling an ancient story.
