Chapter 213: Chapter 214: The Kingdom of the Evil God
"Jotaro-san, over here it seems like there are footprints."
When the others were thinking about how to return, Nezuko had been observing the surroundings all along, and suddenly discovered in the muddy ground not far away some patterns similar to human footprints.
Hearing this, Jotaro quickly came to her side, crouched down and began to observe.
"There are people moving about on the island."
He came to this conclusion.
And according to the size of the footprints, he deduced that the active creature was a human similar in size to himself.
Not some kind of giant monster.
The footprints kept extending toward the higher parts of the island.
Jotaro stood straight and faintly said, "We follow the footprints upward."
Based on the earlier encounters, his vigilance had already been raised to the highest.
With Star Platinum guarding at his side, although afterward they still ran into other terrifying plants and animals, luckily they were all resolved without danger.
The group followed along the footprints all the way up, and traces of human activity became more and more obvious.
Here there were no residences, but there was a small factory.
The factory, not knowing what materials it was processing, had the surrounding air permeated with a pungent smell.
"Anyone here?" Mr. 9 shouted loudly.
A stretch of silence, no one responded.
"Where did the people all go?" he muttered, then immediately as if returning to his own home, began rummaging through the things inside the factory.
"They seem to be processing the plants on the island, extracting some kind of component from them." Mr. 9 flipped through the logbook on the table, "Giants? What is all this written, why can’t I understand it."
Jotaro frowned, extended his hand and lightly touched one of the machines inside the factory.
The next second, his expression drastically changed, and he shouted, "Hurry and get out!"
Shoo~ Shoo~ Shoo~
Countless cold gleams shot out from the gaps in the factory’s walls.
"Star Platinum!"
Star Platinum encircled itself in front of Jotaro, fists flying rapidly.
And in his vision, the high-speed moving objects gradually slowed down, so Jotaro was able to clearly see their true form.
"Poison needles!"
The sharp objects shooting at them were some mini syringes, the syringes filled with purple liquid.
What specific effect these liquids had, Jotaro did not understand, nor did he want to.
The only thing he needed to do was not be pierced by these poison needles.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
Star Platinum’s movements were extremely fast, as if erecting a transparent barrier in front of him, deflecting all the poison needles.
Now, even if DIO, in stopped time, threw out tens of thousands of knives at him.
Jotaro also had the confidence to, at the instant time resumed, catch all of them.
He no longer needed small tricks to easily handle such moves.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
The deflected poison needles even under Star Platinum’s force changed direction, shooting back along the trajectory they had come from.
"Impossible!"
The small underlings of the Brownbeard Pirates hiding behind the walls launching the poison needles had their eyeballs nearly pop out, and before they could even react, they were struck by the needles.
Thud!
They fell down one by one.
"Damn, really so vigilant!"
Only the squad’s small captain barely escaped with his life, Jotaro’s strength was completely beyond his expectations.
They had once been members of the Brownbeard Pirates, and now had become Caesar Clown’s subordinates.
Caesar Clown was developing giant drugs, and among the drugs one main component was obtained on this island.
His duty was to extract this component from the plants and regularly deliver it to Punk Hazard.
"We must kill them!" He pulled out an artificial Devil Fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
Honestly speaking, artificial Devil Fruits were still in the experimental stage, if not for a last resort, he never wanted to eat them.
But if he didn’t eat a Devil Fruit, he had no confidence in defeating Jotaro.
"What exactly happened!" Mr. 9 crawled out from under the table.
When the poison needles had been fired, only he had not stayed by Jotaro’s side, and could only hide trembling under the table.
"Someone ambushed us." Jotaro was still in a vigilant state, he was not sure whether all the people behind the wall had been struck by the poison needles.
"Why would they ambush us?" Nami could not understand.
"Not clear, I only know they already knew we were coming."
Jotaro’s gaze kept moving along the walls, not relaxing in the slightest.
On the machines inside the factory there was still residual heat, he determined that not long ago there were still people working here.
But when they arrived here, the factory was empty, overly quiet.
At that time, he already knew someone was targeting them.
Jotaro looked toward the strange liquid gurgling in the giant pipeline.
’Could it be related to this?’
He concluded this was a deserted island.
Building a factory in such a hidden place, surely it was to do some shady business unknown to people.
And they just happened to intrude in...
Thinking this way, the other side’s inexplicable killing intent could be explained.
"Die!"
The factory’s rooftop suddenly collapsed, and the captain who had eaten the Devil Fruit revealed a ferocious turtle head, opening his bloody mouth as if wanting to swallow Jotaro whole.
What he had eaten was an artificial Zoan-type fruit, Alligator Turtle, possessing extremely strong biting force, and a green hardened turtle shell.
"Ora!"
But obviously, this kind of hardness was not worth mentioning to Star Platinum.
Bang!
Under Star Platinum’s heavy blow, his upper and lower jaws were forcefully smashed together, his brain shook, nearly losing consciousness.
He hurriedly shrank his head and limbs into the turtle shell, his whole body spinning rapidly in the air, once again attacking toward Jotaro.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
A full set of combo punches from Star Platinum smashed his turtle shell to pieces.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, forced to stick his head out of the shell.
From his perspective, an invincible move with no blind spot had actually been easily neutralized by the man before him.
"Oi!" Jotaro, with both hands in his pockets, walked up to him, "What you all are doing here, I am not interested at all."
"I came here only to obtain a Log Pose, hand it over."
"Hehehe... Do you know Slime?" Seeing Jotaro’s surprised face, he explained, "That is a kind of poison gas bomb, upon exploding the gas released can instantly turn this island into a dead island."
"This factory here has such a Slime placed inside."
Jotaro’s pupils shrank, seeing his arm slightly move, Star Platinum immediately struck.
"Ora!"
Star Platinum shattered the bones of his hand, making it impossible for him to press any button.
But Jotaro had miscalculated.
What he was holding was not some activating device, but a Den Den Mushi.
"Run quickly!" Jotaro shouted.
Caesar Clown’s expression was dark, through the Den Den Mushi he already knew that one of his material supply sites had been exposed.
Since it was exposed, it no longer had any value in keeping.
He without hesitation activated the destruction device.
