One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from a distance.

Cohen suddenly stopped and looked up in the direction of the sound.

The soldiers following him also stopped.

"what sound?"

"It sounded like the roar of a wild animal."

"It should be the roar of wild beasts. Doesn't the information say that there are large beasts on this island and it is not suitable for human habitation?" Clark Lasen also looked at the direction of the sound and expressed his own guess.

"It is indeed like the roar of a wild beast, and the sound also contains pain and anger. If there is not a group of wild beasts fighting, then someone has a dispute with the owner here."

Cohen reached into his trouser pocket and took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took out a lighter with his right hand to light the cigarette.

"Hiss, hoo"

Cohen took a deep breath from the cigarette in his mouth, took off the cigarette with his hand, flicked the ashes, and blew out the smoke. The smoke enveloped his face.

Then he put the cigarette into his mouth again and said, "Let's go."

This time, Cohen ran faster in the direction of the roar.

"Ah, this..."

"Lieutenant, what should we do?"

A group of soldiers looked at Cohen's leaving figure and looked at Clarkson with fear and embarrassment on their faces.

Clark Larsen's expression changed, and he said with a fierce expression, "Follow me."

Then, without giving his soldiers any time to say anything, he jumped up and followed Cohen.

He finally decided to follow the commander Cohen.

"This..." A kind of soldier looked at Clark Larson's figure, no longer hesitated, and followed him one after another.

Um?what happened?Why is there sunshine in front?

Cohen followed the traces left on the grass, but suddenly found sunlight not far away.

Although Cohen felt confused, he didn't think much about it and kept moving forward.

"how come?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why are you suddenly on the plains?"

As soon as they left the woods, they suddenly went from a dark environment to a bright environment. The eyes of all the soldiers were stimulated by unknown stimuli, and they couldn't see anything clearly for a while.

But after their eyes adapted to the new environment, they were all surprised by the sight before them.

What caught everyone's eyes was a small plain, but the plain was not big. It should only be a few hundred meters wide. On the opposite side of the plain was another forest.

The environment of this island is very strange. The plain looks like a ring, surrounded by dense forests on the outside, and surrounded by a forest in the center.

Cohen turned his head and looked around. The area of ​​the plain that caught his eye was not very large. Looking around, the two sides of the plain gradually disappeared between the ring of woods.

"This plain looks quite strange. It looks like a ring. I don't know if there are more on both sides? Is it really connected into a ring and enveloping the woods in the middle?"

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

The roar of the beast continued, but from the sound, Cohen knew that the guy who made the sound was probably dying. Mixed with pain, there was also weakness in the voice.

Cohen did not join the discussion among the soldiers behind him. He held the almost burned cigarette butt with his hand, twisted it slightly, and then threw the extinguished cigarette butt on the ground.

He jumped towards the direction where the roar came from.

After entering the plain, the traces that everyone had followed disappeared... No, it can't be said to have disappeared.

Although there is also grass on the plains, what is different from the woods is that there are not only grasses on the plains, but also many animals.

The previous traces have been blended into the traces left by various animals on the plain, making them indistinguishable.

But now everyone no longer needs to follow the traces on the ground.

"Ah? Is this over?" A soldier looked at Cohen's figure entering the plain and shouted in surprise.

"Let's go too." Clark Larsen took the lead and chased after Cohen without any further hesitation.

A group of soldiers had doubts about what he was doing to Cohen, but they did not hesitate in response to Clark Larson's order and chased after him without thinking.

For many people here, the distance of a few hundred meters means it’s time to say something.

As soon as a group of people arrived on the plain, they plunged into the woods again.

However, this forest is different from the previous forest. There is also vegetation on the ground of this forest.

But these vegetations do not grow in dim and dark forests, but in the sunshine.

The trees in this forest do not grow as densely as the previous one. Most of the trees are spaced apart from each other, and the lush and wide crowns do not completely block the sunlight.

"Roar"

With a wail, the beast's roar completely disappeared.

finished?But the distance is not far.

Cohen looked up at the location where the beast's roar last came from, and kept walking.

In an open space in the woods, Cohen and a group of soldiers were standing at the edge.

The ground in the open area was covered with blood, and it was blood that had just left the body and had not yet completely solidified.

In the open area, there were two beast corpses lying upside down, one big and one small, but even the small one was very huge. Even if it fell on the ground, it was half as high as a person's waist.

There were not many injuries on the smaller body, but the neck was cut open in half.

The larger corpse was covered with claw marks, and there was also a wound on the neck, which opened the smaller half of the neck. The blood on the ground should have come from it.

Although the two corpses were different in size, they should belong to the same species on the surface, but they couldn't identify the species, at least not Cohen.

"Is this the large beast mentioned in the information? It is indeed large enough. If the number is larger... no wonder it is not suitable for human survival." A soldier holding a knife looked at the two huge corpses lying on the ground. , couldn’t help but think of the evaluation of this desert island in the information.

"I was prepared for this when I heard the information. What I am more curious about is the people who killed these two large beasts. If they are really the targets we are tracking, then their strength may be very troublesome." The other person was not thinking about this, but about the target of this pursuit.

Cohen also heard their conversation, but he didn't say anything about what the two said.

Just because you're big doesn't mean you're strong.

What he wanted to know more was the whereabouts of the people who killed the two beasts.
