Chapter 187 Temptation Forest
"Let's go." Minato lowered his voice and walked side by side with Rasa in tacit understanding.

The deck was bustling with voices as crew members moved various wooden boxes back and forth. The air was filled with a rich aroma of cream.

"Stop!" A loud voice suddenly sounded.

Minato and Rasa looked up and saw a burly chef standing at the top of the gangway with his hands on his hips. He was wearing a tall chef's hat and his apron was covered in flour, staring at them with a ferocious expression.

"Why are you two here at such a late hour?" The chef's loud voice attracted the attention of the nearby crew members. "The preparations for the tea party are piling up!"

"Sorry, I was delayed on the way." Minato arched his back in pretended panic and responded in the shrill voice unique to dwarves.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The chef waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and move the ingredients to the warehouse! Remember, each cake base is made according to the recipe personally selected by Big Mom. If there is any mistake, you will be doomed!"

"This way." Luo Sha pointed to the pile of wooden boxes in the corner.

Just as they were carrying the third box of food, a deafening explosion was heard from afar. The entire ship shook violently, and the cargo clanked and rolled into a ball.

"What's going on?" There were cries of surprise coming from the deck.

There was another loud bang! This time it was closer, and the blast wave swept across the deck, knocking several unstable crew members to the ground.

Minato put down the wooden box, stepped to the porthole and looked out, only to see a burly man standing outside above the port.

A pair of white wings spread out behind him, and he held a huge pencil in his hand. Every time he swung it, a big hole would explode on the ground.

"Damn it! It's Urouge from the Broken Monk Pirates!" The captain roared, "How dare he run wild in the territory of Wanguo!"

Boom!

The third explosion was very close. The debris kicked up by the blast hit the side of the ship with a crackling sound, and the deck was in chaos.

The candy building not far away collapsed with a loud bang, and pink icing fell like snowflakes.

"boom!"

At this moment, a burly figure descended from the sky and landed heavily in the center of the port. The ground instantly cracked, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions.

"It's the Four Generals! Lord Snag is here!"

"With Lord Snag here, that bastard is dead!"

Cheers broke out from the crowd.

Snug slowly stood up. His fat body was in sharp contrast to his small head.

"Oh?" Urouge laughed contemptuously in the air, "The four generals of the Big Mom Pirates? Just a funny guy like you?"

"Come to Wan Guo to run wild!" Snag looked up at Ulki in mid-air and said in a low voice, "You've chosen the wrong place."

He slowly drew out the samurai sword from his back, and the blade shone coldly in the sunlight.

The two men confronted each other for a moment, and suddenly moved at the same time.

As soon as Ulki stepped on the ground, he rushed forward, so fast that only a shadow was left.

Snag had his feet slightly apart, blade pointed upward, eyes fixed on his opponent.

boom!
The collision of the two forces produced a terrifying shock wave. The air wave spread in a circular shape, and the candy buildings collapsed wherever they passed.

The crew on the deck were tossed around by the wind, and even the big ship was shaking violently.

"Everyone, get ready to set sail!" The captain grabbed the side of the ship tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry! We must not let the food get damaged! Big Mom's tea party must be held on time!"

"This power." Minato hid in the shadow of the cabin with a solemn expression.

Even from such a distance, he could feel the pressure. It was not chakra, but a completely unfamiliar power.

"It's different from the way ninjas fight, where pure physical strength can achieve this level."

Luo Sha said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the two fighting parties, "The shock wave from that attack just now is enough to severely injure an ordinary jonin."

"If someone gets close to me during a head-on fight..." Minato's eyes were serious.

He didn't finish his words, but Luo Sha understood what he meant. If such a monster got close to him, his body would probably be torn to pieces in an instant.

The two looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes. If the four generals were like this, how powerful would Big Mom be?
If you are not careful, not only will you fail to complete the mission, you may be executed on the spot.

..............................

At the same time, on the other side.

"Left, get out of the way!" Oonoki suddenly shouted.

A patrol boat came from not far away. Its hull was like a giant cream cake, and the deck was full of armed guards. The three of them quickly lowered their bodies and hid in the shadows with the help of the waves.

"The defense here is tighter than I thought." Yagura whispered, his eyes vigilantly scanning the distance. There were large and small ships parked on the sea, and people on them were constantly scanning with binoculars.

"Over there." Ai pointed to a remote coast, where the high biscuit cliffs on the shore just blocked the view of the patrol boat.

The three of them approached the shore silently, using the cover of the waves. The biscuit-made shore wall kept making tiny cracking sounds under the impact of the waves, and a faint sweet fragrance filled the air.

"This smell..." Ai Yue jumped up and landed on the shore. He took a deep breath and then frowned. "It's too sweet. It doesn't seem to be naturally formed."

Ohnoki landed from mid-air and looked around vigilantly: "There is a forest ahead. We should be able to see the castle after passing through it." "But..."

He paused and continued, "This place is weird everywhere."

"Let's go in and take a look." Yagura said, stepping into the forest.

As the three of them stepped into the forest, they were engulfed by the shadows around them. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and their footsteps made slight noises as they sank into them.

"rustle."

The breeze blew through the treetops, making strange noises. At this moment, a seemingly ordinary tree quietly opened its eyes, its gaze hidden in the shadows of its leaves.

"Someone. Someone is coming in." The tree whispered in a voice that only its companions could hear, "Go and inform Lady Brulee."

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" the other tree whispered. "Don't let them find out!"

Those eyes closed quietly again, as if they had never opened, but the news had already spread like ripples quietly in this strange forest.

Soon, a mirror quietly emerged from the depths of the woods. A woman with long dark purple hair was reflected in the mirror. She grinned with a strange smile: "Weiwei~ Interesting guest~"

"Stop." Ohnoki suddenly raised his hand and looked around sharply, "Do you think these trees are strange?"

"I've always felt like I was being watched since I entered the forest," Ai said in a deep voice. Fine electric currents pulsed across his naked upper body, making slight crackling sounds.

Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, a figure suddenly flashed by, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. "In front!" Yagura's eyes were stern, and the long stick in his hand pointed in the direction where the figure disappeared.

But Ai's reaction was faster. He shook his arms, and a sharp thunder suddenly sounded. Countless arcs of electricity jumped on his naked upper body, and the whole person was instantly wrapped in lightning.

Thunder escape chakra mode!
Ai's figure turned into a flash of lightning and rushed out, with a strong airflow, and the fallen leaves on the ground were instantly blown away.

"Wait!" Ohnoki's reminder had not yet come out.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Ai's eyes condensed, and his muscular right arm drew a sharp arc. His hand knife chopped down like a bamboo.
"boom!"

Lightning exploded, and a thick tree broke with a sound, and wood chips flew everywhere. However, when the smoke and dust dissipated, Ai's pupils suddenly contracted.

The person who fell to the ground was actually another "self". The face that looked exactly like his own was full of pain, and his body still had burn marks from the lightning strike.

"What?!" Ai instinctively took a half step back, his muscles tensed.

"Be careful around you!" Yagura suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, the surrounding trees began to twist and deform, and countless mirror images of Ai, Yagura, and Ōnoki appeared in the woods, interweaving with each other, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The next second, countless figures moved at the same time, rushing towards the three people like a tide.

"These guys." Yagura swept the long stick in his hand and smashed several fake bodies that rushed up. "They look like some special creatures. They are very weak, but their number is amazing."

"Hmph! What a time-wasting trick!" Oonoki snorted coldly in mid-air.

"You're really haunting!" Ai roared, and lightning flashed all over his body. Electric currents jumped on his body, making crackling sounds.

He pushed off the ground with his feet and soared into the sky like a cannonball.

In mid-air, Ai's body was completely wrapped in lightning, like a dazzling ball of lightning. He clenched his right fist, his muscles coiled, and lightning condensed.

"Lightning Release: Thunderstorm!"

"boom!"

His fist slammed heavily on the ground, and terrifying thunder exploded in all directions with him as the center. The ground instantly cracked, and lightning spread like a spider web. All the fake bodies that came into contact with the lightning instantly turned into fragments and dissipated in the air.

"Ah! It hurts!!"

A scream suddenly sounded, and the ground shook. Before the three of them could react, they saw the ground next to them begin to rise, and a huge figure slowly emerged.

It was a giant who was four meters tall from the waist up, with his lower body buried deep in the ground. He had a simple and honest look on his round face, and when he saw the three people, he actually smiled and waved: "Hello!"

Ai reacted very quickly, retreating to a safe distance in a flash, lightning flashing on his arm: "There is actually such a monster hiding here."

"Wait! Don't do it!" The giant's face suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his hands, "My name is Pound, and I'm Big Mom's husband. I, I can tell you a lot of things!"

"Big Mom's husband?" The three exchanged glances.

"This is such a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect to meet someone who knows the inside story so soon." Ai slowly retracted his arm at this time, but his muscles were still tense, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Wait." Yagura narrowed his eyes, his tone full of suspicion: "Why would Big Mom's husband hide in a place like this?"

Pound opened his mouth and was about to explain: "I was..."

"You idiot! Are you crazy?" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Pound's words.

The three of them turned around quickly and saw a gorgeous mirror suspended in the air. A woman with long dark purple hair walked out of the mirror. Her face was a little exaggerated, and a teasing smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"What a useless man! He dares to tell others about this kind of thing." Bree sneered at Bond, "No wonder he was abandoned by his mother."

"Those clones, were they your doing?" Ai stared at Brulee, and the lightning around him became active again.

"Oh my~" Brulee suddenly changed to a frivolous tone, her eyes wandering over the three people, "Mom has received intelligence that there will be intruders visiting. I've been waiting here, just waiting for you to come to my door~"

"Intelligence?" Ohnoki frowned slightly. It seemed that the other party had confused them with other invaders.

Brulee didn't answer directly, but gently stroked the mirror beside her, which reflected a distorted picture: "Weiwei~Since you've come to my door, don't even think about leaving alive!"

"You talk too much nonsense!" A sharp light flashed in Ai's eyes, and his muscles tensed instantly, and lightning surged on his body like a raging wave.

"Hell Thrust·Four Pen Hands!"

Ai's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a dazzling flash of lightning. His speed was extremely fast, and his arm, intertwined with lightning, went straight to Brulee's vital point like a sharp arrow.

"Vivi~ I've been waiting for you!" Brulee did not retreat but moved forward, pressing her hands on the mirror, "Mirror-Mirror Fruit: Reflection!"

The mirror suddenly emitted a dazzling silver light. Ai's attack hit the mirror, but it was like hitting an invisible barrier. All the lightning was completely absorbed by the mirror and disappeared without a trace.

"What?!" Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, but the attack had already been launched and he had no time to change his body shape.

Then, the same four bolts of lightning were reflected back at a faster speed! The lightning drew a dazzling arc in the air, going straight to Ai's vital points.

boom!
The lightning struck his body, stirring up waves of air.

His body was pushed backward by the huge impact force, and his heels plowed two deep grooves on the ground, with gravel splashing everywhere.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, there was not even a scar left on Ai's body: "Nothing more than that!"

"Really?" Bree's eyes flashed with cunning, "What about this?"

Ripples suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, and a strangely shaped sword stretched out silently, with the tip of the sword shining with cold light pointing directly at Ai's throat!

Ai's eyes were stern, his muscles were tense, and lightning flashed across his body. The tip of the sword was only an inch away from his throat, but he showed a cold smile.

"Lei Dun!"

Lightning exploded, and Ai turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot.

The sword slashed through the air, creating a deep crack on the ground.

“Dodged!?” Brulee’s pupils shrank.

A flash of lightning appeared from the side, and Ai's figure appeared. His right leg was wrapped in dazzling lightning, and his muscles were knotted, like a bolt of lightning striking from the sky.

clang!
Amid the deafening sound of metal clashing, the sword blade broke, but Ai did not stop.

His left hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the hilt of the broken sword that remained outside the mirror.

"Get out of here!"

Ai roared, his arm muscles instantly knotted, lightning surged. He pulled outwards violently, and actually pulled a figure out of the mirror!
He was a tall, middle-aged man with a thick, long beard. He opened his eyes wide and his face was full of shock, obviously caught off guard.
