Chapter 281 Dead, but not completely dead
"Jie hahahaha..."
The golden lion's once wild laughter sounded as weak as a candle in the wind, and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"Roger..."
The last words of his life were spoken.
The golden lion's broken face, like cracked porcelain, showed the last trace of nostalgia.
I don’t know what the world after death will look like...
Fine spiritual pressure continued to seep out from the golden lion's body, and the broken body that was originally riddled with holes turned into a handful of pale ashes at this moment.
When the breeze blows, it scatters to the sea like a thin wisp of smoke.
Adrian, who was pale and had a swollen right arm, slowly flew over. Fighting with the golden lion for so long was also a big burden for him.
The last "Blue Dragon Turns to Destruction" almost squeezed out the last bit of physical strength.
At this time, Adrian could barely remain in the air solely by relying on the basic characteristics of his ghost body.
"Do you still miss that man until the last moment of your life?"
Looking at the golden lion's life that had completely vanished into thin air, Adrian's eyes were as calm as a deep ancient well.
After a while.
Adrian, who had regained some strength, silently raised his left hand, which was still in good condition, and reached out to hold it into the void.
Following his movements, an illusory human form was pulled out from the void. The completely translucent body exuded a faint pale white light, and it looked like a full soul body.
The golden lion only felt that his eyes went dark, and then suddenly lit up. The whole world that had been plunged into darkness became bright again.
"Have my soul ascended to heaven..."
The existence of a series of fruits from the underworld, such as Shadow Fruit, Underworld Fruit, Ghost Fruit, Soul Fruit, etc., proves that there are indeed souls in this world.
The golden lion Shiji, who had been on the same ship as Charlotte Lingling, naturally knew about this matter, and had seen Lingling playing with other people's souls more than once.
only.
This was the first time that Golden Lion saw his own soul.
"Is this the underworld after death? It's completely different from what you imagined, just like...the sea?! This is still the sea I'm familiar with!"
"I didn't expect that the soul after death can continue to stay in the original world!"
"Doesn't that mean...Roger is also 'alive'?!"
An incredible idea suddenly emerged in my mind.
An unprecedented sharp light bloomed in the golden lion's eyes, as if he had returned to the ambitious attitude he had just after leaving the Rocks Pirates, and wanted to compete with the heroes of the sea!
Because he was so excited, the golden lion even completely ignored Adrian's weird and inexplicable playful look.
Maybe in the golden lion's heart at this time, those living people in the world can't do anything to him at all.
"The power of Piao Piao Fruit... As expected, I can no longer feel it."
"But the characteristics of the soul body still allow me to fly freely. Even if I lose the Piao Piao Fruit, it will not have much impact."
The golden lion floated in the air, raised its right hand, and silently felt the difference between the soul body and the flesh and blood body.
"And after this death, my legs have recovered again! The damn rudder is finally gone!"
"This is so interesting!"
"It's a pity that [Ying Ju] and [Kuremu] are two old friends who have been with me for many years..."
"Roger! I'm sorry, I'm a step late, but the big shots come on stage later! Just wait for me to find you!!"
Just as the Golden Lion was preparing to plan the big blueprint for the world of the dead, he hoped to meet his old enemy Roger the Pirate King again.
A vaguely familiar voice stopped him.
"Golden Lion, have you finished talking about these whispering little things?"
"Huh?"
The golden lion was stunned for a moment, turned around, and happened to meet Adrian's eyes.
"White ghost kid, can you see me?"
The next moment, the golden lion immediately recalled something and said with a sudden expression.
"By the way, you are a ghost fruit user. It is normal to be able to see things that others cannot."
"Okay, I don't have time to chat with you brat now!" Golden Lion once again regained his unruly temperament as a great pirate, and said impatiently, "Roger is still waiting for me to find him!"
"Well, it's doubtful whether Roger's soul is still in this world."
Adrian looked at this old man who was still lusting after other people's bodies with some amusement.
"But now, come down here!"
The golden lion felt an unprecedented restraining force suddenly appear around his body.
The next moment, he flew over from where he was involuntarily.
Then, under the control of Adrian's thoughts, he stood obediently in front of him.
Even though it is a soul body, the completely "healthy" and "sound" body is completely unable to resist the terrifying manipulation of the white ghost.
The golden lion was shocked and angry: "White ghost kid! What's going on? What did you do to me?!"
"What did it do to you?"
Adrian chuckled softly.
"Don't you understand yet? Shiji, I pulled your soul back from the underworld!"
This statement...
Of course it was Adrian who was talking casually, fooling Golden Lion, a half-bald man over fifty years old, and bullying the flying pirate into not understanding the secret of the ghost fruit.
Actually.
The reason why Adrian was able to recall the golden lion's soul so easily and preserve the other party's conscious consciousness so completely.
First of all, it must be the effect of the "Azure Dragon Transformation" composed entirely of spiritual pressure!
As early as the original Capital of Seven Waters, Adrian was able to "resurrect" the ship spirit Rumi from the dead by manipulating psionic energy.
Today's "spiritual pressure" is a comprehensively upgraded version of "nether energy".
When he collided head-on with Soryu Tensei, the highly fine spiritual pressure continuously penetrated into the golden lion's body and touched the opponent's soul at the same time.
This is the key to Adrian being able to recall the soul of the Golden Lion!
certainly.
The full-level [Ghost Domination] also plays a huge role.
also.
The reason why the Golden Lion can still maintain such a clear consciousness is not like those who immediately dissipate most of their memories after death, leaving only an ordinary ghost with an empty shell.
In addition to the reason why the Golden Lion died for a short time.
There is also the reason for the qualifications of the Golden Lion itself!
Specifically.
It’s the effect of [Overlord Color Dominance]!
This kind of "kingly qualification" that only one person among millions of people possesses is the fundamental reason why the golden lion's soul body can be maintained so perfectly.
"Do you think I will believe your lies? White Ghost!"
The golden lion sneered at Adrian's statement.
He prefers to believe that he has entered the world after death, but the white ghost kid doesn't know what method he used, and he can also see the souls of the dead.
Adrian didn't want to explain too much, so he stretched out his left index finger, and a small ball of nether energy cannon condensed on his fingertip, hitting the golden lion's left leg with lightning speed.
The golden lion was instantly startled. He wanted to dodge immediately, but under the influence of the inexplicable binding force, he could not move at all and could only bear the cannon.
For the soul body, the damage of psionic energy is much higher than the damage to the living body.
This situation has been effectively verified as early as the previous battle between Adrian and Charlotte Lingling, through the bombardment of Prometheus with the psionic cannon!
"Ah!!"
The nether energy cannon shot the golden lion's left leg, directly exploding the translucent soul leg into fluorescent powder and dissipated in the air.
The severe pain, as if the soul had been cut into pieces by a thousand knives, was continuously coming from the wound on the left leg that was broken by the nether energy cannon. It was so irritating that even a big pirate with a strong will like Golden Lion could not help but scream in agony. .
What's even more shocking is.
The golden lion felt not only this severe pain, he also noticed that along with the left leg, there were also some memories of his past that dissipated!
"Although I don't want to see a high-level ghost with intelligence being cleanly washed into an empty shell without memory by myself."
Adrian smiled gently.
"But if you continue to be so arrogant, I will have no mercy, Golden Lion."
"White Ghost! Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!"
The golden lion never cared about such a threat, he roared angrily.
Adrian's eyes were cold, and he once again condensed a small group of nether energy cannons, and cleanly broke the golden lion's right leg.
"Now, symmetry."
