After solving the hidden dangers in the Forbidden Forest, Loki was not in a hurry to leave.

After treating the injuries of the holy beast, he went to the depths of the Forbidden Forest again to check the place where the tree elves were originally staying.

"So that's it, is this the source of the disaster?"

In front of Loki, there was a strange fruit tree.

This is the devil fruit tree, which grows a devil fruit shaped like a sunflower, covered with golden spiral patterns.

It looks like an alternative flower fruit!

Loki took out the devil fruit illustrations and compared them one by one, but did not find the corresponding illustrations.

The universal identification device could not identify it either.

"Unknown devil fruit?"

Loki stepped forward and picked the devil fruit. After a while, the black soil area in the Forbidden Forest returned to normal.

"No one eats it, but it just grows there, can it cause such an impact?"

Loki frowned.

Holding the devil fruit in his hand, there was a tingling sensation, but there were no thorns on the surface of the fruit.

"Such a weird devil fruit, it's better not to let people eat it."

Loki put the fruit into the treasure box, and before leaving the forbidden forest, he looked a few more times in the west.

The battle between Fengxian and Dier still had no result. According to the retrieved pictures, the two would fight for at least three days.

Not long after, he came to the White City.

The White City of Hope, also known as the Talent Training Base, is where many reserve talents receive guidance.

The city lord is the fishman Hake.

When Loki arrived, Hake was teaching the most basic fighting skills in the martial arts field and had no time to come and see people.

"Captain, why are you here?"

Dorothy was sitting leisurely by the fountain, chatting with several girls. When she saw Loki coming, she waved and greeted him.

After the fruit awakened, Loki strengthened Dorothy's equipment, shortening her sleep time to 12 hours a day.

The little girl was very happy.

In this month, apart from the necessary training, the rest of the time was spent on playing and making friends.

"I'm here to see Zuton."

Loki said nonchalantly.

Zuton is the name of the giant turtle. Since it was subdued, there has been no sign of waking up.

He tried to get Dorothy to wake up Zuton but failed. He left it here and came to check it out when he had time.

"Sorry, Captain, you may not see the little turtle now."

Dorothy shook her head.

"What do you mean? Has it woken up?" Loki asked.

"No, the little turtle was taken to the church by the priest." Dorothy's eyes flashed with confusion.

Loki was stunned. He couldn't figure out who the priest was.

When he retrieved the identity information of this person, his face sank.

Why is it him?

[Ghost Father] Scorpius, bounty of 280 million Baileys, vice captain of the Death Pirates.

According to the information, the Death Pirates have been destroyed. This person was designated as dead and the bounty order was revoked five years ago.

His current appearance is different from the photo on the wanted poster.

He doesn't have a scary horn on his forehead, and his face is not pale.

He looks like a serious person, but he actually has evil intentions.

This person sneaked into White City under an alias.

Loki didn't know how he got in. Since he's here, don't leave!

"Captain, do you think there's something wrong with the priest?"

Dorothy felt nervous when she saw Loki's serious look.

White City is not open to the public yet. Even if you want to come for training, you need a recommender and identity verification.

Coincidentally, Scorpius was brought to White City by Dorothy.

She couldn't remember what happened.

"I always feel that guy is not right. Let's go."

Loki used the power of the fruit, and the two of them came to the outside of the church in a flash.

As soon as they entered the auditorium, they were warmly received by the other party. "You two, are you here to find the Holy Turtle? Please follow me."

"Holy Turtle? Why do you call my pet like that?"

Loki asked coldly.

"Please be careful with your words, sir! The Holy Turtle is the sacred animal of our Poseidon Church, please don't call it by the wrong name!"

Scorpius said seriously.

Poseidon Church?

Is there such a church?

Loki turned his head and looked at Dorothy.

Dorothy nodded, indicating that she knew something.

"How many years has your church been established?" Loki asked again.

"Many years, even dating back to five hundred years ago."

Scorpius smiled slightly.

After listening to his introduction, Loki fell into deep thought.

According to Scorpius, there have always been two ancient churches in the world of One Piece.

They are Pluto Church and Poseidon Church.

The royal family of the extinct Kingdom of Tomly was a faithful believer of Hades, believing that Hades would one day descend to the world and bring endless darkness to the world.

Hades still exists today, and many people in many non-member countries believe in it.

The image of Poseidon is more positive.

At first, people only hoped to return safely after going out to sea, and would worship the sea god before going out to sea.Statue of a god, to seek peace of mind.

You can refer to Mazu.

Gradually, it developed into a church.

Now it has become the state religion of many member countries, especially those in the New World.

According to Scorpius, he came from the New World to preach.

Loki didn't believe it, you can preach if you want, why do you have to make trouble in my territory?

A moment later, the two were taken to a wishing pool.

The giant turtle ancestor lay at the bottom of the pool, with no sign of waking up.

Loki tried to wake him up to no avail, so he decided to do the business first.

"Do you want to tell the truth yourself, or do I force you to tell it?"

Loki asked with a smile.

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean? Since you have finished watching the holy turtle, please leave..."

Scorpius pretended to be stupid.

Loki was too lazy to talk nonsense, raised his hand and released a lightning, blasting the man to the wall.

"Not injured? You really have a problem!"

Loki's eyes turned cold.

Snap!

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell on Loki's head.

Loki shaved away the attack and looked at the scorched ground with a puzzled look, "Can you copy my attack? No, this is..."

"I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly!"

Scorpius stood up slowly.

He was sure that his disguise was perfect. The only flaw was that he appeared in White City at the wrong time.

"God's Right Hand!"

Scorpius raised his right hand and grabbed someone in the air.

Whoosh!

An invisible big hand grabbed Loki.

"Fantasy Killer!"

Loki raised his hand to dissolve the attack, "What is your ability?"

"Want to know? Don't worry, you will know!"

Scorpius shouted angrily and changed back to his original appearance.

Loki saw that he had horns on his forehead and thought he was a rare species.

"God's power!"

Scorpius made a big transformation and turned into a ferocious humanoid monster with an extra vertical pupil on his forehead.

Is this a fantasy beast?

"Interesting! Let me see how strong your power is!"

Loki grinned, eager to try.

He hadn't had a good fight with anyone for a long time.

Previously, when he fought with the tree elves in the Forbidden Forest, his strength was limited by the Forbidden Forest and it was difficult to use his full strength.

Scorpius looked very strong after his transformation, which was just right for testing the power of some new moves.

"Lightning flash!"

Loki rushed forward with the help of lightning and collided head-on with Scorpius.

Bang!

Loki was not strong enough and was slapped away by one hand.

At the same time, the lightning wrapped around him was transmitted to Scorpius, paralyzing his body.

This round was a draw!
