Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Chapter 554: Lifting the Twin Moon Curse

Because of the symbiotic relationship, Shirahoshi did not return to the Sabaody Archipelago this time, but followed the Dream Expedition Team to the next island, Elbaf.

After completely dealing with the deep-sea observer, Ling Yan also told everyone what he "saw".

The symbiosis between him and Shirahoshi cannot be broken.

But it can solve the so-called curse of fate. Otherwise, every time the double moon appears, he and Shirahoshi will face a choice.

Ling Yan would never allow such a thing.

Finally, Robin combined the information from Misty Island and concluded that in order to solve the curse, he must go to Elbaf.

Only there can the curse be resolved.

It just so happens that the next island after the Misty Island is Elbaf, so they just need to get there as soon as possible.

----

Night falls.

Ling Yan, Nami and Shirahoshi entered a different dimension.

At this moment, Bai Xing, with a blush on her cheeks, had fallen into a deep sleep. Ling Yan, who was about to sleep, was suddenly pulled up by Nami.

"Ling Yan, is what you said during the day true?" Nami asked expectantly.

"Of course it's true, I'm just not used to it..."

"Hiss... That is to say, because of the symbiotic relationship, Ling Yan, you can also transform into a fish tail like Shirahoshi?" Before Ling Yan could finish his words, Nami suddenly interrupted him and looked at Ling Yan excitedly.

"That's right, in the future I can live in the sea like the mermen. It's really magical..." As Ling Yan was speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with Nami's eyes.

"Nami, you don't mean to..."

“Hehehe…You guessed right, change for me quickly, then we’ll try it…”

"Hiss... This is a very fresh feeling..."

……

----

Five days later, when the bow of the Dream broke through the thick fog, the view before everyone suddenly became clear.

The towering rock walls are like city walls carved by gods. The waves hit the bronze-luster reefs, and the waves they stir up are hundreds of meters high.

At the top of the rock wall, two crossed giant axe statues sparkled in the sun, and the densely packed ancient runes on the axe blades flickered with the tide.

"This is Elbaf..." Nami looked up at the port gate that was a hundred meters high. The sails fluttered in the strong wind raised by the giant's war flag.

This time they did not land from the Warrior Village, but came to a mysterious area of ​​Elbaf according to the nautical chart obtained from the Misty Island.

The double-moon mark on Bai Xing's chest glowed faintly, and human legs appeared uncontrollably. "Master Ling Yan, what are those things..." She pointed to the densely packed giant barnacles clinging to the rock wall.

"I'm not afraid." Ling Yan's contract mark felt hot, and he reached out to hold down the restless Bai Xing, "This is food, you can eat it."

At this moment, twenty gates suddenly cracked open in the rock wall.

Amid the roar of the twisting bronze chains, the fifty-meter-tall Cyclops leaned half of his body out and smashed the huge anchor in his hand into the sea, creating a wall of waves that made the Dream sway back and forth.

"Outsiders!" The thunderous roar shook the toy soldiers of Sugar to the ground, "Report you..."

Before he could finish his words, Shirahoshi suddenly jumped onto the side of the ship.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, her legs glowed with a pearly luster, and every step she took in the air formed a step of ice crystals.

When she spread her arms a hundred meters in the air, twelve water tornadoes suddenly rose from the sea, and on the top of each tornado was a giant guard in the form of a sea king.

"Poseidon's agent, requesting an audience with Elder Elbaf." Her voice was filled with the pressure of a tsunami, and tiny arcs of electricity flowed between the ends of her hair - this was a new ability she gained after awakening the Twin Contract.

The hostility in the Cyclops's eye instantly turned into awe.

When he knelt on one knee, the waves stirred up made the whole bay boil: "The Sea King is here, Elbaf should show the highest courtesy..."

"Wait!" Ling Yan suddenly jumped to Bai Xing's side.

Under the resonance of the contract mark, his body suddenly grew to 20 meters, and his skin showed bronze patterns similar to those of the giants - this was the mimicry ability granted by the twin contract. "We come here as warriors."

The whole bay suddenly became silent.

Runes on the rock walls lit up one after another, and the sound of ancient war drums came from deep within the island.

When the ninth war drum sounded in the canyon, twelve bronze warships as big as islands emerged from the fog, and the prows of all of them were giant war gods holding thunder.

"Interesting." On the largest warship, the old man wearing thunder wolf skin spoke with a voice like a bell.

On his shoulder rested a lightning eagle with a wingspan of thirty meters. His eyes swept over Ling Yan's mimicking body and asked, "Warriors who are recognized by the Sea King, do you dare to accept Elbaf's triple trial?"

Hearing this, Nami was instantly dissatisfied. Doesn’t the giant know who they are?

Thinking of this, she was about to take action.

"We accept." Ling Yan stopped Nami and looked at the giant.

These giants were a little different, much taller than the Elbaf Titans they had seen before.

At this time, the power of Shirahoshi came from the seal of the contract, and his mimic body swelled again until it was level with the bronze warship. "But if we pass the trial, you have to provide a way to lift the double moon curse."

The lightning eagle on the old man's shoulder screamed suddenly, and lightning flashed between its wings: "Yes!" Twelve warships raised their anchors at the same time, interweaving in the air to form a lightning cage.

Ling Yan smiled.

He raised his hand and tapped his brow, and the shadow of a golden trident appeared in the contract mark - this was the power of the Sea King that Shirahoshi shared.

The moment the trident touched the lightning cage, all the lightning turned into docile swimming fish, entwining into a dazzling halo around his fingertips.

"The first trial is broken!" Bai Xing's voice came from the sea.

She hadn't known when she was sitting on a giant shell throne, and twelve sea king giants were inserting tridents into the seabed.

The entire sea area suddenly rose, carrying the Dream across the Bronze Fleet and landing steadily in front of the altar in the main port of Elbaf.

The wrinkles on the old man's face smoothed out, revealing a fighting smile: "The second trial, climb to the top of the God of War Peak!"

The earth suddenly shook.

On the top of a snow-capped mountain a hundred miles away, three giant stone statues, each a thousand meters tall, slowly stood up.

The thunder spears they held stirred up storms in the clouds, casting shadows that enveloped the entire port.

Kuina's demon sword suddenly came out of its sheath, leaving a fiery trail on the deck: "They are calling me!"

"Then let's go." Ling Yan removed his mimicry and landed back on the deck. The power of the contract mark slowly returned to Bai Xing. "Let the giants see the capacity of our dream expedition team."

The Hogg siblings looked at each other, broke through the deck and leaped towards the nearest stone statue; Kuina's sword energy turned into a blue phoenix and soared into the sky; Sucrose's toy soldiers formed a siege giant with the assistance of Robin.

The rest of the companions stayed on the boat.

Bai Xing always sat on the throne, tapping the sea surface with his fingertips to maintain the floating barrier.

When the last stone statue's knees were crushed by Leah's vines, she suddenly looked into the depths of the snowy mountain: "The third trial... is coming."

A scarlet crack suddenly appeared on the frozen mountain top, and a bronze coffin rose from the magma.

When the coffin lid was dragged into the center of the earth by nine chains, Ling Yan's contract mark suddenly felt a little painful - the person sleeping in the coffin was actually a bronze giant with exactly the same mimicry posture as him!

"One last try." The old man's voice was filled with sorrow, "Defeat your own reflection!"

"I see..." Ling Yan laughed in the pain. He looked at Bai Xing, and then the two of them jumped into the crater. The seal of the contract glowed brighter than the magma. "To break the curse, you must first acknowledge it!"

The moment the two fell into the magma, the bronze giant let out an unwilling roar.

The double moon marks merged in the lava, and what was born was neither a mermaid nor a giant, but a completely new form with phoenix wings on its back and thunder wrapped around its tail.

Three days later, when Ling Yan, covered in bandages, walked into the Council of Elders, the twelve giant chiefs struck their battle axes at the same time.

“Sons of the Twin Moons,” the elder said, his thunder wolf hide still had burn marks on it, “You have won the trial, which proves that the Twin Moons Curse has been broken.”
