As the journey continued, Smog suddenly realized that his physical strength had improved a lot, or it was not his physical strength, but his body felt much smoother than before.

This kind of comfort in the body made Smog stop the movement of reaching out to grab the cigarette many times, because Luo had told him just now that the reason why his body became the same as before was that he smoked too much.

It's right.

For a moment, Smoger suddenly felt very glad that during the time he was in the East China Sea, he didn't smoke much because he couldn't afford a cigar. In the past two years, he returned to the headquarters, especially after becoming a general, and then he retaliatedly smoked cigars.

.

It’s just that in less than two years, the amount of cigars he smoked is probably more than ordinary people smoked in their entire lives.

However, due to the hard training over the past two years, Smog has been constantly improving, making Smog not feel any abnormalities in his body. If it weren't for Luo's discovery and cure, Smog wouldn't have known that his body had so many problems.

.

Thinking of this, he touched his forehead. More than a year ago, when he was clearing the waters of the White Beard, he was chopped by a pirate, a knife that was so deep that it was visible.

If Luo hadn't helped him with treatment at that time, he would have probably had an ugly scar even if he was not disfigured.

Although Smoger felt that scars were to some extent considered a man's medal, it would not be a pleasant thing if the scar was on his face.

At this time, Luo ignored Smog, who still had extra nutrients for the brain to think during the full sprint due to the increase in oxygen intake.

At this time, in addition to rushing to the road, his last little attention was also focused on the surrounding environment. He didn't want Smog to be hit again.

Or even more serious, that is, Smog is fine, he was hit, if that were the case, he probably wouldn't have to wait for rescue.

With the toxicity of the unknown thing he just saw, if he accidentally ingested it, he would probably lose consciousness like Smog just now. But no one could save him.

This is the disadvantage of being the only doctor in the team. If a teammate falls down, he can save him, but if he falls down, no one can save him.

Therefore, Luo has a very high sense of security and defense because he understands that only when he is fine can he help his teammates to the greatest extent, except for emergencies.

So after reopening, Luo chose another route. He originally thought it was just an explosion, so they chose to follow the explosion. After all, the explosion did not pose any threat to both of them.

But since they found that it was poisonous, they could not follow the route of the explosion directly. For example, when they just passed the first explosion point, Smog was poisoned.

If you continue to wade, you might have some accidents. Although there may be accidents on this ice and snowy place, no matter which road you take, you can first eliminate the visible threat.

However, the route of the explosion is an arc, and the route they have chosen now is actually a shortcut. Although it cannot be called a real kill of two birds with one stone, it is also more convenient.

After all, it was just a waste of time to treat Smog, so it was indeed a good thing for them to be able to get closer to save time.

As he got closer to the explosion field, Luo also found that he was getting closer to the Third Research Institute. Although he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or the route was arranged, Luo became more and more alert.

It was already noon, but in the snow and ice, the two of them did not feel any warmth. Instead, because the sun was getting more and more intense, their vision was restricted.

The bright sunlight shone on the ice and snow, and the reflected light was like needles piercing into the eyes of the two people. Luo lowered his hat as much as possible, but the effect was average.

Fortunately, the explosion sound was getting closer and closer to them, and with the auxiliary target of sound, Luo felt less painful.

Smog was even more direct, turning his eyes into smoke, tracking Luo just by seeing and hearing the domineering spirit. As long as he didn't lose Luo, he would probably be able to reach his destination.

After blinking, eased the swelling and pain in his eyes, Luo suddenly realized something and said, "Smoger, can't you let us be covered with smoke? Then we won't be snow-blind."

"But it's covered with smoke, we can't see the road soon, nor can we notice the surrounding environment?"

Smoger said for a moment, and Luo sighed and said, "It's just to block the light, there is no need for too thick smoke, and you just need to cover the ground around us."

"good."

After thinking for a while, Smog nodded in agreement, and then a piece of smoke covering a radius of 100 meters appeared, and Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the ice surface, snowflakes and snowy mountains in the distance still reflect a lot of light, at least there is no such light that pierces the eyes directly.

He blinked again, feeling that his eyes were much more comfortable, and Smoger's eyes also returned to humans from smoke.

"Bang! Rumble~"

Suddenly, an explosion occurred again in the distance, and the fire and purple-red glow appeared in front of the two again. However, this time, the two looked at each other with relief eyes.

Because of this distance, it is very close.

“Always ready to fight.”

After Luo finished speaking briefly, the room force field surrounding him was retracted, and the speed of the two gradually slowed down, but they were still able to keep getting closer to the source of the explosion.

When they crossed a snow mountain, both of them stopped. Smog's smoke gathered, looked into the distance, opened his mouth slightly, and murmured: "What kind of monster is that?"

Where the two looked, there was a huge purple-red jelly monster with a crab and a bit like a scorpion, crawling on the ice.

At the same time, small jelly monsters are constantly sprayed out by it and landed on the ice. When they get close, they will continue to merge to form a larger jelly monster.

"I found it, Luffy and the others, but it seems that they have lost some staff."

Unlike Smog, Luo instantly realized that the monster seemed to be chasing something. He looked for it along the direction of the monster's advance. He suddenly saw several familiar figures.

But Rod quickly frowned, because Abel, Zoro, Nami and the raccoon beside Luffy were gone, and only Robin, Sanji, Frankie, Usopp was left beside him.

, and there is another person I don't know.

Looking at that look, it seemed like a samurai in Wano Country, but Rao was not sure. After all, his understanding of Wano Country was just something that some people said.

He himself had never been to Wano Country, nor did he know Wano Country, but his clothes and hairstyle were not suitable for people from other kingdoms.

"Will anyone else already"

At this time, Smog also frowned, but he didn't continue as he spoke.

Luo also understood what Smog was thinking, shook his head and said, "If the explosion just now was the limit of this monster, then that guy named Abel would not die.

They should have separated, maybe it was scattered because of the monster's attack. Look at this monster, with the ability to split, maybe those people were also chased by another monster?"

"Well, then what do we do now?"

Smog nodded, and Luo reached out and touched his beard and said, "This monster is probably one of the experimental creatures. Luffy and the others should know more about it than us. Why not go over and ask."

Smoger thought about it after hearing this. Although he went to ask Luffy about this, it seemed very unreliable to him, and isn't this equivalent to asking the pirates for directions?

But there was no better way at the moment, so he had to nod and said, "Okay."

When the two of them were about to set off and rushed over, a medium-sized jelly monster condensed by unknown numbers of small jelly monsters rushed from the side to the straw hat gang.

Luo, who had just seen the toxicity of these jelly, frowned and wanted to go over and deal with the monster, but the distance between the two sides was a little far away and there was no time to rush over.

But at this time, the warrior beside Luffy drew his sword and slashed. In an instant, the burning slash of flames condensed from the sword blade and was slashed out.

"Bang! Rumble~"

The jelly monster was instantly detonated by the flame slash, and the straw hats continued to escape, while the residue after the explosion of the medium-sized jelly monster was absorbed by the chasing jelly monster.

"Do you have any way to make a fire?"

Luo quickly analyzed it, guessing that the jelly monster might be afraid of the flames, while Smog nodded, which made Luo a little curious. After all, Smog had never shown the ability to use smoke to make fire.

But the next moment, he took out a lighter, and the black eyelids around Luo's eyes trembled quickly twice, then sighed, ignored Smog, but rushed towards Luffy and others.

At this time, Smog reacted later and slapped his forehead, embarrassment and shame appeared on his face, but he did not struggle for too long, but quickly followed Luo's pace.

However, after approaching the Straw Hats and his group, Rod no longer took care of Smog's speed. The room force field opened and jumped a few times, then appeared beside Luffy, running while asking Luffy:

"Luffy, what monster is behind that one?"

"I don't know whether to wait! Luo?! Why are you here?!"

The moment Luffy saw Luo, he was stunned, then showed a bright smile, and then he jumped and climbed directly on Luo without caring about the jelly monster chasing behind him.

Several black lines appeared on Luo's face. I haven't seen each other for so long, this Luffy is still the same as his bastard brother!

At this time, Robin, Sanji and Usopp also recognized Ronald. Usopp subconsciously moved away from Ronald. Sanji's eyes were constantly growing hostility, but Ronald was still calm.

At this time, the warrior also noticed the sudden appearance, but the Navy, who seemed to have a good relationship with the Straw Hat Boy, was shocked at first, but after seeing Luffy's reaction, he calmed down.

Luo reached out and grabbed Luffy's hair, trying to pull him off his body, but Luffy was a rubber man, so it was useless to pull it away.

Luo, who was unlucky, just continued to run with Luffy on his back, but he quickly turned to look at the warrior and said, "Is this person your new crew?"

"No, he is a strange uncle who came to the island to find his son. He seems to be called Fox Nishinosuke!"

Although Luffy said this, Luo still looked at the samurai. When the samurai heard his new name, he also tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "In Shimo Kinemon, Fox Fire Kinemon."

Hearing this name, Luo recalled it and said, "The swordsman of the Fox Fire Rise in Wano Country?"

Kinemon looked at Luo in surprise when he heard Luo's words. After seeing Luo's huge Nota sword, he asked, "You are also a swordsman?"

Luo shook his head and said, "I'm not. I just happened to know some swordsmen. I've heard of Fox Fire Rip. It's just your flame slash just now, right?"

For some reason, Luo couldn't like this when he saw Kinemon like this. He always wanted to cut him twice to make a fuss. Unfortunately, he was now bound by Luffy and could not free up his hands.

Kinemon scratched his head embarrassedly at this time and said, "The practice of Fox Fire Flow is still very superficial. If it can be more profound, maybe there is no need to escape now."

The understanding of Fox Huoliu was only at the level of Guina mentioning it. At this time, facing Kinemon's modest words, he could only nod meaninglessly and then asked:

"Luffy just said, you are here to find your son. Has your son been abducted here for human tests?"

"What?! Human test?! But this must not happen!"

Suddenly, Kinemon's face changed drastically, and he said with a panic look on his face. Luo Ze frowned, always feeling Kinemon's reaction was a bit strange.

After all, according to his investigation, the experiments conducted here, those children who were abducted here were actually confused by the legitimate reason for coming to treat the disease.

As parents, they are naturally willing to know that their children are seriously ill and that there are people who are willing to help them with free treatment.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some parents of children will react and find something wrong. Just now, Ra thought Kinemon was such a person.
