Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

"Otherwise, you can verify this through my memories. This base is surrounded by a special natural energy field; other equipment can enter, but cannot leave, just like a fishing net."

"And you can't operate this base, nor can you take our pirate crew's belongings. Reckless operation will only cause the base to self-destruct, and you'll die under the pressure of the deep sea."

This was Jack's final act of defiance.

He was the only one present who didn't see Rocco, so even though he heard the name 'Mewtwo', he didn't react in such a short time.

That's why I have this idea now.

Ah.

Luo Ke laughed out loud at this.

Threaten him?

If another champion were to capture Jack and learn of this memory, then considering the current situation and the possibility that they might want to bring Jack back for trial, they might accept this threat.

But Luo Ke wouldn't, absolutely not!

Just as he said several times, when he comes after you, you'd better be innocent, otherwise—you'll be killed!

"Mewtwo, keep digging. Find all of these guys' research findings, such as how they filter natural energy, their underwater technology, and list out their crimes."

"Once we've done all that, let's sink them into the sea along with this base."

...

When Jack woke up again, what he saw was not the ceiling, but the pitch-black deep sea.

At this moment, he found himself completely unable to move, and he could still breathe freely underwater. He could also clearly see that he was in the sea, as if some glowing thing was shielding him from the seawater and water pressure.

Only when he realized this did he recall what had happened before.

The figure of the dark hero also came into his view.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word. Luo Ke didn't seem inclined to say anything more to him either, and his body, clad in prism armor, floated upwards as if ascending.

"Goodbye."

He left only this sentence behind, and then the surrounding seawater shielded him, while the power of the light source rose upwards with Luo Ke.

At that moment, Jack understood what was about to happen. He tried desperately to resist, but apart from glaring until his eyes were bloodshot, he could do nothing else.

Luo Ke's figure turned into specks of light in his vision.

When he lost his protection, the seawater blocked his nostrils, and the water pressure flattened his entire body!

He couldn't move at all.

They could only die amidst this intense pain, resentment, and regret!

As Luo Ke looked down at his dead body, his mind was preoccupied with something else entirely.

Jack and his crew did indeed have a base on the Seven Islands.

Just as Chang Shi had worried, after so many years of research, Jack and his team did indeed have 'death messages' left behind, just like those of the Doctor and Zong Qinke.

But this time, the 'Deathrattle' is at the base, and Jack hasn't had a chance to activate it yet.

And its death tag is—Forcefully awaken Kyogre!

This is exactly what Luo Ke needs now!

Master the methods to awaken them, and then tackle them one by one!

Meanwhile, the indigo orb was also there, as was Bai Kehu... This martial artist who jumped into the sea with the orb was also captured by these guys—thinking about Bai Kehu's current situation and the way these guys filtered out the berserk power, Luo Ke felt that Jack's death was too lenient!

However, now that his death is a fact, Rocco has no time to dwell on a dead man.

He's going to the base!

Go save people, and also seize your trump card, which is crucial in this battle of the three gods!

......

11. What is this if not a beast?

Why did Jack insist on sending Wakamichi to his death, even at great personal risk?

Firstly, most of them were thinking that after Kyogre flooded the continent, they would send out a small number of crazy scapegoats, and then, relying on the fact that others didn't know about it, they would make good use of their resources to go ashore, clean up their act, and rise to prominence!

Ruozong was indeed in their way.

Second...

That means that with Ruozong's abilities, he really can find out things!

Just as Rocco was destroying Jack's pirate crew, on the Seven Islands, Ruozong, who had been silent for many days, finally began his own operation.

What action?

Seize Jack the Pirates' base on the Seven Islands!

Jack felt he had overestimated Ruozong, so he guessed that Ruozong would definitely make a profit within a year.

This conjecture is based on his understanding of the alliance's operating principles and his awareness of how much effort his own side had put into concealing the truth, which ultimately led to the answer he obtained.

If Ruozong were merely an investigation team leader following the orders of the Five Elders of the Alliance, then perhaps things would indeed turn out as he imagined.

But that's not the case with the sect.

He was directly promoted by Luo Ke to the sixth-highest position in the alliance, and even the five elders could not directly order him around, which made his style of doing things very different from the original style of the alliance!

Ruozong is a real person.

So after hearing Roko talk about Kyogre, he spent a few days exploring the situation on the Seven Islands and confirmed that this time his opponent was extremely well hidden. He didn't even think about stalling for time.

In a decisive move, Ruozong used his power to intercept all the supply channels on the Seven Islands that could be related to this matter!

You need equipment to extract natural energy, right? You need to maintain it, right? And you need energy to use it—fine, I'll ban all of that!

If you need these items, register with the alliance, explain the purpose in detail, and the alliance will deliver them to you and follow up to confirm the actual use.

Such behavior would cause a lot of trouble for these bases, but Ruo Zong also used his authority to offer the bases that needed these resources the lowest possible price, greatly saving them expenses.

They also optimized the transportation process, so the addition and subtraction didn't delay their time at all.

Although there will definitely be some people complaining, it is ultimately a matter of more benefits than drawbacks, and as long as one is not guilty, one can accept it.

Then, during the follow-up investigation, it was discovered that Ruozong's people were both overt and covert!

The situation at each base was constantly relayed back to Ruozong.

Under such a scan, even if Jack the Pirates' base on the seven islands was well hidden and showed no flaws on the surface, there were no more resources to allocate to the parts they had hidden.

If the person in charge of this part is calm and level-headed, they can buy some time.

It's possible that he won't be forced to reveal this until the next phase of the Ruozong Plan.

However, because the method of filtering natural energy is special, we can't wait any longer.

That's why they take the initiative to act for resources!

That's why they revealed their weakness!

Chang Shi was still waiting for Luo Ke, but before Luo Ke could return, he suddenly heard that Ruo Zong had found the other party's base on the Seven Islands!

Faced with this situation, Changshi was surprised but also cooperated immediately.

With the methods of those petty thugs, he can quickly suppress information that would normally be impossible to cover up, buying Ruozong ample time.

He himself led his most elite team to Ruozong and joined him in the seizure of the base!

Torch Island.

As the island known for its scientific research, it has many research bases and even some small factories that do not cause pollution.

Jack the Pirates' base on the seven islands is hidden beneath a factory called 'Ocean'.

They didn't just carve out a space underground; instead, over many years, they painstakingly built an incredibly long elevator that connects directly to a hidden underwater base!

Furthermore, to prevent anyone from using mental energy to scan and discover the elevator, the top part of the elevator connects to the underground area of ​​the ocean factory, which can be detected, while the lower part is constructed with materials that can isolate mental energy.

This part of the elevator doesn't even have a separate entrance; it can only be started by using a special method through the upper part of the elevator.

Therefore, while this base is well-hidden, it does not rely entirely on the island's supplies. If a real problem arises on the island, they can also sneak out underwater and obtain resources through other channels.

But this is what Ruozong thought of.

It's hard not to think of it—after all, these people are raising 'bombs' underwater, which means they must have underwater capabilities to dive to the depths of the ocean.

This led to them being blocked on their way back by Carmen and her men who came to provide support!

Thus, the location of the base was discovered by Ruozong.

He immediately mobilized his elite forces and prepared to storm the base!

As for the fact that the raid was too rushed and there weren't enough people?

Here comes Nagashi!

That's the unspoken understanding between the two of them.

So for this base, at the time when their team that was sent out to transport supplies should have returned, it wasn't their people who returned, but the assault team led by Wakamune and Nagayoshi!

Could they possibly resist the commando?

No!

Even the Jack Pirates could only think of activating their ultimate weapon when dealing with Ruozong, so what difference would it make if they had more people?

Moreover, if Zong Jiachangshi were to join them, they would have a considerable number of men, all of whom would be elite.

The moment these people finished planning to surround the base, the base was finished, and not a single person could escape.

As for the data, records, and equipment in this base, Wakamune and Nagayo also consciously protected them.

After all, putting everything else aside, the very method of extracting clean natural energy is very useful.

But when they finished suppressing the base and saw the method for extracting natural energy, they both fell silent.

"...brute!"

Ruozong frowned and gave this evaluation directly. Changshi didn't say anything, but you could tell from his expressionless face that he thought so too.

the reason is simple...

The Jack Pirates' method of filtering natural energy is—humans!

The core of this method, which they only came up with in the last few years, is not that they achieved a technological breakthrough, but that they captured Bai Kehu!

When they found Bai Kehu, the indigo orb had already merged with Bai Kehu!

Logically, the situation should be the same as in the animation: patterns appear on Bai Kehu's body, and he is immediately controlled by the violent power, thus beginning indiscriminate attacks that affect friend or foe.

But the situation is different from that in the animation.

Otherwise, Bai Kehu wouldn't have just disappeared back then; he would have started an indiscriminate massacre in Tiangang!

The truth is that when Bai Kehu was fighting against the Zong family and was about to die, his will to survive unexpectedly resonated with the indigo orb, causing him to merge with it!

The power of the indigo orb enhanced him, which enabled him to achieve those terrifying feats at the time.

As for the price of acquiring this power...

The violent energy that accompanied the natural energy severely affected him, causing him immense pain, yet he would not die immediately due to the nature of the energy.

And this violent power will drive him insane.

So when Bai Kehu realized this, he immediately thought that he was in Tiangang at the time, and his daughter Bai Linglong... was also in Tiangang!

He couldn't imagine strangling his daughter with his own hands, so filled with fear and madness, he jumped into the sea.

Zong Qinke always felt that Bai Kehu, who was that strong, could not possibly die. He must be hiding to recover from his injuries, or he must be plotting something and ready to jump out at any moment.

But in reality, Bai Kehu had lost all reason at that time; he just wanted to commit suicide.

If nothing unexpected happens, even with the support of natural energy, Bai Kehu will slowly die after sinking into the sea.

But during this process, Jack the Pirates 'saved' him.

After examining his condition, they were pleasantly surprised to discover a natural 'filter' that could counteract violent energy.

Then...

Bai Kehu's struggle to protect his daughter, which he launched despite his pain, has been artificially prolonged to this day!
