Chapter 261 Mechanical Sea Beast
Sailing in the New World is far more perilous and unpredictable than navigating the Grand Line.

Here, the log pointer and the permanent pointer are the only things to rely on; otherwise, the entire sea seems to mock the navigator's basic knowledge and sense of direction.

Follow the sun?
Such a naive idea couldn't even be realized in the first half of the Grand Line, let alone the New World.

Once dark clouds obscure the sky, the compass malfunctions, and ships can become completely lost in the ever-changing ocean currents and storms.

In an hour—or even less—a slight deviation from the course could send the entire ship plunging into an unknown abyss.

Every island marked on a nautical chart today has been verified by countless navigators over long periods of time, even with their lives.

There was no luck, no chance.

All that remains is the cruel cost of lives.

This is why Lin Mo waited so long after killing Kaido before going to Egghead Island.

Simply because we haven't found it yet.

This was all under the premise that Lin Mo knew the approximate location of Egghead Island.

Even so, it came at the cost of two warships. For an ordinary pirate crew, that would be equivalent to the complete annihilation of two pirate crews.

Ordinary forces really can't afford to waste time like this.

Exploring the New World is a very dangerous thing, high-risk, and not necessarily high-reward.

Because the island you discover might be a deserted island, or it might even pose a life-threatening danger to you.

The waters off Egherd.

A pirate ship appeared in this sea area.

“Monk, we have found an island. The island looks just like the Venerable One described; it is an island shaped like an eggshell.”

Listening to his men, Urki snatched the binoculars from their hands, held them up to his face, and looked up.

Sure enough, we saw an island.

A cloud-like object can be faintly seen on the island, and above the cloud, the outline of half an eggshell can be seen.

"Just as it looks like an eggshell, this is definitely the island."

Urki put down his binoculars, preparing to report to Lin Mo via Den Den Mushi, when a red dot suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Prepare for battle," Urki said solemnly.

"Master, what's wrong?" asked the subordinate beside him.

It was obvious that Urouge's subordinate did not possess Observation Haki and was unable to sense the impending danger.

In his eyes, the surroundings were calm and peaceful, with no sign of danger whatsoever.

However, trusting Urki, he immediately mobilized all the crew members and put them into combat readiness.

next moment.

On the lookout tower of the pirate ship, several navigators, their faces pale and covered in sweat, roared down, "The sea! There's a monster beneath the surface!!"

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared on the sea not far ahead of Urouge and his pirate ship, and the shadow kept growing larger.

Immediately afterwards, a shark burst out from under the sea, opened its mouth wide, and lunged at Urouge and his pirate ship.

This shark is terrifyingly large; it's definitely a marine mammal.

At this moment, it opened its ferocious and terrifying mouth, its sharp teeth completely enveloping the huge pirate ship, even extending far beyond it.

The enormous pirate ship was like a small cake in the shark's mouth, ready to be swallowed whole.

As the subordinate screamed, the shark had already rushed in front of the pirate ship, about to close its mouth and bite the entire pirate ship into pieces.

The expressions of everyone on the ship changed drastically. Uroki's tall figure suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship. He took a step forward and rushed towards the shark's teeth. His hands, covered with domineering aura, directly grasped the tip of the teeth.

"Stay away from my ship!"

Urki laughed loudly.

With his superhuman strength, Urki managed to overcome the shark's terrifying bite force, preventing it from closing its jaws. The shark could only let out helpless roars.

However, at that moment, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a cannon barrel emerged from the shark's mouth, aimed at Urouge who was laughing loudly. Urouge turned his head to look at the cannon barrel that was gleaming with a metallic light, and the smile on his face froze.

next moment.

boom!
The shelling was right at their doorstep.

Urki had no way to avoid it.

The members of the Broken Monk Pirates, who were some distance away, turned pale upon seeing this and shouted, "Master Monk!"

The shark's eyes also revealed a human-like smile.

The smoke cleared.

Instead of falling, Urki's body grew even taller.

His muscles began to swell, and his already tall and strong body swelled even more, his hands gripping the shark's teeth tightly.

"Die!" Urki grinned maliciously, and suddenly exerted force with both hands.

boom!
With a loud bang, Urki not only snapped the shark's gaping maw in two, but the immense force sent the shark crashing backward, creating a massive wave.

After a moment, the shark carcass, which had been almost torn in two by Urki, finally surfaced, allowing people to see the whole thing.

This shark is not a true marine mammal.

Its entire body is made of metal, except for half of its shark head, which retains its original mechanical form.

"Is this the mechanical sea monster mentioned in the last message from the person who lost contact before?" Urki asked.

On the pirate ship.

The pirates on the lookout exchanged glances, first letting out a sigh of relief, then cheering.

"As expected of Master Sengzheng!"

Come to think of it.

How could a mere sea beast be a match for the monk? They were worrying far too much.

Two years ago, the monk was a supernova with a bounty of over 2 million. Now, after joining the Yan Emperor and receiving the blessing of the gods, his strength has increased several times over.

Lin Mo's "divine blood" can directly modify the physical body, and the improvement is most obvious for someone like Ulki who relies on physical combat skills.

Moreover, his super regenerative ability is a perfect match for Urki's own abilities.

Wow!

The sea surface exploded with a deafening roar!

Before the cheers had subsided, another huge splash erupted around the Corrupted Monk's pirate ship, and shadowy figures emerged from the water, transforming into mechanical sea monsters roughly the size of the giant shark.

These mechanically modified sea monster legions each exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

It has the head of a lion, but the rest of its body is that of a fish. Except for its fur and teeth, which are still in their natural state, its eyes are completely covered by high-tech goggles, with energy conduits extending from the frames and inserted directly into its skull.

There are also mechanical sea monsters with fox faces but deer antlers on their heads.

It has a head that's all mechanical, like a magnified version of the wolf-headed sea monster, Jabra.

A giraffe-like sea monster with a neck made entirely of metal segments.

Horned sea monster, bear sea monster, monkey sea monster.

"What a joke." Urki's rosary beads tightened in his hand.

Urki and his group even spotted a mechanical dog-headed sea monster with snot hanging from its nose, tilting its head to one side. Beneath its seemingly comical appearance, the hydraulic jaws were clicking and clacking.

The entire sea area was instantly transformed into an exhibition hall for mechanical behemoths!
