Chapter 36 Otephi Island (please collect, please recommend)
The [Ghost Body] that has reached the full level has really given Adrian a lot of help. He was able to easily defeat the leader of the Erbao Navy in the past, largely due to its immunity to physical attacks.
even.
The passive and non-consuming ghost body makes [flying], an originally quite rare ability, become one of Adrian's daily ways to travel.
After entering the ghost state, Adrian soared into the sky and gradually increased his ultimate flying speed.
How fast does [Ghost] fly?
Adrian didn't know it before, but when he kept accelerating but couldn't reach the limit, he realized what a terrifying ability he had unintentionally discovered!
The characteristic of ignoring physical obstacles even means that there is no resistance to the ghost's flight.
Feeling the scene around him moving backwards like lightning, a message appeared in Adrian's heart for no reason.
The flying speed of the ghost only depends on the speed of his thinking!
Of course, this does not mean that Adrian can approach the speed of light, or even faster than the speed of light.
There is a limit to the speed of human thinking. The maximum flight speed that Adrian can control is about 500 kilometers per hour. (Note)
At such a high speed, Adrian didn't spend much time at all, and followed the instructions given by Dr. Cloba on the chart and arrived at the famous gangster island-Otephi Island.
This is a town-shaped island, with nearly 100 meters of hillsides stretching to the north and east. The southern coast is densely populated with various buildings.
Standing on the horizon, Adrian looked down at the beautiful island below, his eyes inexplicable.
The next moment, dots of ghost fluorescence emerged, and densely packed mini ghosts waved their arms and kept gathering around Adrian.
"Little cuties, go and help me see what's going on on the island..."
Mini ghost·Star Parade!
The overwhelming torrent of ghosts instantly rushed towards Otephi Island below, without a trace of fireworks, suddenly dispersed dozens of meters above the ground, evenly distributed to every street, every corner, and every place where there were people on the island. place.
Astral Parade is a detection skill developed by Adrian with the help of the ghost fruit. The small mini ghost can act as a scout very well, helping to quietly gather information.
For ordinary people, the mini white ghosts standing tens of meters high in the sky during the day are simply inconspicuous; and at night, they will only regard the mini ghosts as shining stars with unusual shapes and will not invest too much. focus on.
Adrian closed his eyes and communicated with the mini ghosts below. With the help of their eyes, he carefully observed every corner of Otephi Island and secretly probed for information.
Soon, he collected a surprising piece of information.
"With such vivid pink hair...why is Lady Penelope here?"
Adrian suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly doubtful.
"Go and have a look first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Adrian in the ghost state suddenly shrank in size, turning his body into the size of a mini ghost, and then flew downwards.
Near the center of Otphi Island, there is a separate two-story building. Lady Penelope, who is imprisoned here, is looking out the window with sadness.
She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, whether it was persuading her husband to trade the [Ghost Fruit] to others or writing a letter to O'Hara for help.
But why did it fall into this state?
There has been no news from her husband for nearly a month. Based on the rumors about the inhumanity of the Capone gang, no matter how optimistic Mrs. Penelope is by nature, she would not think that her husband is being treated like a guest by the Capone gang.
The only thing she hopes for now is that her husband can live.
"Lady Penelope, Lady Penelope..."
A thin voice suddenly called Mrs. Penelope's mind back. She looked around the room with some confusion and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Have you finally hallucinated because of excessive worry? If I had known this, I shouldn't have written to O'Hara..." Looking at the empty room, Mrs. Penelope smiled bitterly to herself.
"Sorry, I just forgot to change my body shape..."
A strange yet familiar voice sounded, and Adrian's figure appeared in the room out of thin air.
"It's -" Mrs. Penelope's eyes widened, she looked around, and quickly lowered her voice, "It's you, Adrian!"
"Yes, it's me, madam." Adrian looked apologetic and whispered in the same low voice, "Mrs. Penelope, I'm very sorry about what happened to you."
"It's useless to talk about it now..." Mrs. Penelope looked sad, "Mr. Adrian, how did you get here?"
Adrian did not answer, but asked instead: "Madam, I happen to have a question to ask you. If I remember correctly, you said in your letter that you were still at the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce..."
"That's right." Mrs. Penelope smiled bitterly and told the whole story, "But the letter was already noticed by the Capone gang when the client sent it. They probably did it on purpose. Let me spread the word so that you, Mr. Adrian, will not fall into the trap!”
Mrs. Penelope added: "Since the letter was sent, the Capone gang took me directly to Otfe Island and completely cut off my contact with the outside world."
"Your family..."
"I don't have any news about Crevat yet, I'm afraid..." Mrs. Penelope's eyes were red and her voice was choked, "But they, the Capone gang haven't gone crazy to take action against the child, and little Pepe is still with me. Together, I’m still sleeping in the bedroom at this time... If it weren’t for little Peppa Pig, I guess I would have..."
Adrian was silent for a moment.
Mrs. Penelope wiped her eyes and said: "Mr. Adrian, I am very grateful that you can come to Otfe Island, but you alone cannot be the opponent of the Capone gang. They are not The third-rate pirates at sea can compare with you..."
Adrian interrupted Mrs. Penelope and said harmoniously: "Madam, you don't have to worry about the Capone gang. I will handle it myself. I have two plans for the current situation."
"Please tell me."
"First, I will take you and Perona to O'Hara Island. After arriving there, your mother and daughter will naturally be safe."
"What about the second one?"
"You continue to stay on Otfe Island - of course, I will find a safe enough place to house you and your daughter. Then, wait for me to deal with the Capone gang."
Lady Penelope said categorically: "I choose the second option."
"Why?" Adrian was a little confused, "The first option is actually safer."
Lady Penelope said firmly: "I will never leave until I get accurate information from Crevat!"
"Is that so..." Adrian murmured, "Then follow me first. The ghosts have just found a place that is secluded enough that no one will find them."
"Then you just have to wait quietly."
Note: There is a view in the scientific community that the human thinking speed is close to 250km/h. I don’t know how this data was obtained. The thinking speed itself is a very difficult data to measure. So the speed taken here is the brain's current signal speed, which is about 138m/s, equivalent to 496.8km/h, about 500km/h. But this is a novel and a Pirates fan, so don’t be harsh. Even if it is the author’s setting, the speed of ghosts is not easy to describe.
