Chapter 288 Shanks: About the Devil Fruit I owe

Chapter 288 Shanks: About the Devil Fruit I owe

The next afternoon.

"Woooooh——!!"

A strange low roar came from far below the surface of the sea.

After a while, the sea surface slowly swelled, and then a huge whale rushed out of the sea, revealing the upper half of its head full of scars, opening its bloody mouth with interlocking canine teeth, and let out a huge roar.

"Oh——!!"

The roar of the whale was deafening, and then the huge round eyes looked at the Abyss in front of the tower guard's hut, with a hint of human curiosity in their eyes.

"Wow! What a big fish!!"

Love rested her hands on the side rails of the undulating Abyss and looked at Rabu who jumped out of the sea with an extremely excited expression.

As if coming from blood instinct, the little fox suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Awwww——!!"

You vicious dog...

cough.

The roar of an evil fox has no deterrent effect at all.

Adrian, who was standing aside, stretched out his hand speechlessly and grabbed the little fox's arm in time as he almost looked up and fell backwards.

"Flat wrestling, is it fun?"

Adrian knocked Love's head gently and gently taught him a lesson.

"But it's so big! Adrian sama!"

Love was still very excited, she said excitedly.

“It must taste very good!”

Um?

Adrian glanced at the little fox and asked coldly.

"So, Love, are you going to challenge this island whale? I can cheer you on with Rumi."

He didn't even bother to take another look at Rab's appearance.

Love immediately backed down and said, "But I can't catch such a big fish..."

"Then you still want to eat fish?"

Boom!

Adrian hit Love on the head with much more force this time.

The little fox couldn't help but cry out in pain, and immediately crouched down with his head in his hands.

Adrian's expression remained unchanged and he continued with a heart of stone: "And Labu is so cute, why do you want to eat it?"

"So Adrian Sama knows this big fish?"

Love raised her head, revealing tearful eyes.

"But it grows so big, has scars all over its head, and has so many sharp teeth. It can eat hundreds of foxes in one bite. It doesn't look cute at all..."

Adrian was instantly speechless.

Stories are stories.

The real whale Raab does look very stunning.

This island whale, which is already known for its huge size, is just an eyeball, and it is countless times larger than an ordinary medium-sized three-masted sailing ship.

For those who suffer from macrophobia, the island whale is definitely one of the scariest monsters in the world!

What the little fox said still makes sense.

"How dare you talk back!"

Adrian bent down and rubbed Love's furry head vigorously, exerting the captain's authority arrogantly.

He stroked the back of the fox's head for a while.

A flash of scarlet color suddenly flashed in Adrian's eyes, and the movement of his hand stopped.

He looked far away in the direction of Upside Down Mountain and saw a huge pirate ship speeding towards the Twin Gorges, riding the wind and waves.

The statue on the bow is a strange-looking iron-gray robot. On the black background of the pirate flag, behind the white skull, are engraved four crossed...

"Fan blade?"

Adrian said somewhat uncertainly.

I don’t know if it’s because of Shanks, or because the era of great pirates has indeed arrived.

This is already the third group of pirates we have encountered that successfully climbed over the Upside Down Mountain.

This morning, Adrian had encountered a pirate group that also came from the West Sea.

Since there are no Devil Fruit users.

Adrian neatly sank the group of pirates into the sea immediately.

Unexpectedly, we met another pirate group in the afternoon.

This is completely different from the frequency of two or three a week that Kurokas mentioned...

After a while.

The pirate ship successfully broke through and approached the Twin Gorges, and docked safely next to the lighthouse.

A group of ferocious-looking pirates, armed with long knives and guns, ran down the ship at high speed.

The leader of the pirates was tall and thin, wearing a brown coat and had black hair styled like Dr. Cloba's four-leaf clover hairstyle.

Next to the Clover Pirate, followed closely by a thin pirate. In his trembling hands, he held a compass with the pointer spinning around. He was sweating profusely and looked extremely nervous.

This navigator-looking pirate quickly rushed out of the crowd and ran to Kurokas. He held up the compass in his left hand and tried to grab Kurokas' neck with his right hand.

"Old guy! Why doesn't the compass work here?"

Kurokas frowned and took a small step back, avoiding the pirate's grasp.

"How dare new pirates who don't know anything dare to run to the Grand Line so carelessly? Do you want to die collectively?"

After hearing this, the Clover Pirate immediately said viciously: "Old guy! What the hell are you talking about there?! If I knew the situation of the Grand Line, would there be any need to come and ask you?"
< br>

A pirate gangster next to him also immediately said: "Old man! Our captain is the 'Spiral Tore' who is powerful in the South China Sea! The reward is a full 59.9 million Baileys!"

Kurokas didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and said in a rather perfunctory tone: "Oh, 59.9 million Baileys."

'Spiral Du Lei' frowned. He was about to raise his hand and give this ignorant old guy a harsh lesson to let him know what it means to be a great pirate with a bounty of 60 million Baileys.

A young man next to him suddenly reported: "Captain! There is a very grand ship parked there! I only saw one man on the ship. He is so skinny and has not gained a few ounces of meat!"
< br>

'Spiral Du Lei' looked in the direction pointed by his younger brother, and immediately saw a man with no other advantages except a handsome face, looking towards this side with a relaxed expression.

The "big pirate" nodded with satisfaction, looking like a frail pretty boy indeed!

"It will be opened as soon as we arrive at the Grand Line! Boys, let me take off that guy's head first! Tell this old guy what a big pirate is!"

The words fell.

The four-leaf clover-shaped hair on the back of 'Spiral Du Lei''s head suddenly moved upward and stuck on his head like a bamboo dragonfly.

After a moment, the four-leaf clover hairstyle began to spin like a propeller, whipping up gusts of wind, and easily flew into the air with the 'Spiral Du Lei', flying towards the Abyss.

"Huh? He's a Devil Fruit user."

Adrian nodded with satisfaction.

He stretched out his finger and pointed it in the direction of the bamboo dragonfly man, and a white ghost slowly emerged from his fingertips.

The ghost of negativity.

The emotional ghost passed through the chest of 'Helix Du Lei' as quickly as lightning. The bamboo dragonfly that supported him to fly into the air suddenly stopped in mid-air as if it had encountered a mechanical failure and got stuck.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Waves of noisy exclamations immediately came from Shuangzi Gorge.

The members of the pirate group couldn't help but scream loudly when they saw their captain suddenly stopped in mid-air for some unknown reason, and the propeller above his head also stopped turning, as if he would fall into the sea the next moment.

Adrian once again condensed a blue light whip in his palm, whizzed over like the wind, and tied it to the bamboo dragonfly man's body to prevent the fruit ability user who had finally waited for him from falling into the sea and drowning.

"Rumi, drive the boat over, Shanks is still in the lampkeeper's cabin."

In this pirate group that doesn't even deserve a name, apart from "Spiral Du Lei", there is no other fruit-powered user.

After easily taking care of the group of pirates, Adrian dragged the 'Spiral Du Lei' onto the land of Twin Gorges like a dead dog.

When facing the white ghost, Kurokas did not dare to speak rudely like he had just faced the newbie pirates who didn't know anything. He looked at the other party nervously and asked in a low voice.

"Adrian, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Kurokas." Adrian said in a relaxed tone, "I'm just doing an experiment."

"Experiment?"

Kurokas couldn't help but glance at the 'Spiral Dulay' who was still in a passive state on the ground, muttering some social words in a low voice.

"Experiments on people with devil fruit abilities?"

"Don't worry, it's not a cruel and bloody human experiment as you imagined."

Adrian said.

"I'm not that inhumane."

"Please bring Shanks out, Mr. Kurokas."

After a while.

Shanks, whose condition had improved a lot, slowly walked out of the tower keeper's hut.

Looking at the 'Spiral Du Lei' on the ground, Shanks looked confused and looked at Adrian, "Who is this?"

"A bad guy."

Adrian meant to be concise and to the point.

"Are you ready? Shanks?"

"What are you preparing for?"

The confusion on Shanks' face became even more intense, and he didn't understand what Adrian meant at all.

Adrian had no idea of ​​explaining to Shanks.

Along with a burst of ripples.

Adrian, Love, Shanks, and the 'Spiral Du Lei' on the ground disappeared on the ground of the Twin Gorges at the same time.

Kurokas, who stayed where he was, frowned and kept thinking in his mind.

"What exactly do you want to do? White Ghost!"

……

Rumi's fortress.

Although Devil Fruit experiments like this are not difficult and are easy to understand.

The only secret lies in the "golden leek".

But Adrian still wasn't ready to let Kurokas know.

after all.

This method of "Devil Fruit Production" is also a small secret.

If Shanks is willing to tell Kurokas, Adrian has no problem with it.

But he himself would not take the initiative to reveal it to Kurokas.

In a certain room of the Strong City Fortress.

The figures of the people slowly appeared.

As the master of the Fortress, Rumi has the ability to freely manipulate the space of the fortress, gathering all personnel into a single room at the same time, as simple as breathing.

This is also the time.

Adrian explained to Shanks: "I just want to do a simple Devil Fruit experiment."

"Like the previous Piaopiao Fruit?"

Shanks seemed to be recalling some unbearable experience.

There was once a sweet yellow peach placed in my hand.

But I can't cherish it.

I can only watch it turn into a devil fruit...

"The rebirth of the Piaopiao Fruit before was just due to luck, right?" Shanks looked at Adrian incomprehensibly, "Do you want to kill this pirate and try to see if his fruit can regenerate?" ?”

Snap!

Adrian snapped his fingers and said with satisfaction: "The answer is correct!"

"But, but..."

Shanks stammered several words, but still couldn't find any scientific and reliable explanation, so he could only scratch his head.

"This is completely unreasonable!"

Adrian patted Shanks on the shoulder, "It's okay, I believe you."

I believe in your [Protagonist Halo] even more!

At least I still believe it now!

Negative ghosts do not last long.

in these conversations.

‘Spiral Dooley’ has recovered from the influence of negative ghosts.

Too late——

In other words, he simply didn't want to think about the extremely embarrassing scene just now.

'Spiral Du Lei' looked at Adrian and the others fiercely, "You bastards! How dare you destroy my pirate group! Do you know who I am? I am 'Spiral Du Lei'!!"

"What did the Devil Fruit you once ate look like?"

Adrian's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand, and a large group of special fruits and vegetables of different shapes immediately appeared on the floor of the room.

With Rumi's subtle manipulation, the floor slowly rose up into a series of steps, sorting the fruits and vegetables into standard rows.

"Your family——"

Dream ghosts and fantasy pains.

Adrian was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly used his ability.

From his fingertips, a mini ghost with a slight scarlet light slowly emerged, with empty eyes and an invisible and terrifying cruel smile hanging on the corner of its mouth.

The full level of Ghost Domination allows Adrian to extend the development of Ghost Fruit to other spiritual abilities.

Dream ghosts are one of them.

The 'pain of fantasy' can make the person hit fall into a cycle of mental abuse, thus destroying the opponent's will to resist.

The dream ghost penetrated the body of 'Spiral Du Lei' silently.

"..."

The spiritual world of 'Spiral Du Lei' suddenly fell into a terrifying illusion. The fluctuations in the spiritual world were constantly fed back to the real body. The surface of his body was quickly congested and dyed red, and blue veins protruded on the surface of the skin, like a ferocious... A twisted dark green snake.

The severe pain originating from the spiritual world was so irritating that 'Spiral Du Lei' couldn't even let out a howl, even though the corners of his mouth were about to tear open!

After experiencing some abuse in the spiritual world.

Like the 'Spiral Du Lei' crawling out of sweat, his whole body relaxed and his eyes looked at Adrian with fear.

"Ghost, Mr. Ghost..."

Um?

Adrian raised his eyebrows, "Do you know me?"

Mr. Ghost is one of the legends Adrian gained after he stopped the "Operation Posthumous Son" in the South China Sea.

This pirate has heard of this name, which proves that he should be from the South China Sea.

"I, I know."

After experiencing the devastation of the dream ghost, 'Spiral Du Lei' no longer had the arrogance and anger he had just now, and he spoke tremblingly.

"I've heard your story."

"Very good, can you cooperate now?"

An illusory light red ghost emerged from Adrian's fingertips again.

Seeing the terrifying ghost again, 'Spiral Du Lei''s whole body trembled violently, and at the same time he racked his brains to search for the memories in his mind.

After a moment, he pointed tremblingly at a red apple in the room.

Adrian instructed: "Shanks, go pick up the apple."

"This is unreasonable..."

Shanks murmured quietly while complying with Adrian's instructions.

Then, he took the apple in his hand.

‘Spiral Du Lei’ hoped: “Mr. Ghost, can you let me go?”

Adrian nodded, "I'll give you a happy one."

Mini-Ghost·Blight Pierces the Heart.

‘Spiral Du Lei’s’ pupils shrank to the extreme, and his chest swelled for a moment, then slowly calmed down.

Although there didn't seem to be any scars on the outside, all his internal organs had been completely destroyed by the mini-ghosts, and there was no trace of life left.

There was a trace of fluctuation in Shanks' eyes. Although he aspired to become a pirate, he was not keen on killing.

White Ghost's attitude of treating human life as trivial is very inconsistent with Shanks' philosophy.

Adrian didn't know Shanks' inner activities at this time.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

"According to previous performance, what this person ate should be a superhuman type of fruit."

Adrian said.

"Now it's up to you, Shanks."

I can't show it!

I just feel like I'm acting like a fool now!

Shanks held the big apple in his hand and kept slandering.

A minute passed...

Three minutes passed...

Five minutes have passed...

Not only the apple in Shanks' hand, but also the other fruits in the room showed no change at all.

Adrian continued to wait patiently for another five minutes.

At the same time, he also used his knowledge and knowledge to firmly lock everything in the room, but he still did not notice the slightest change.

"It failed..."

Adrian sighed.

In fact, in addition to Shanks' protagonist halo, Rumi's fortress is also one of his reserved means.

If the Devil Fruit could be bound by the space power of Rumi's Fortress.

Then even if Shanks is lost in the future, Rumi's stronghold can still be regarded as a devil fruit processing factory.

But what I didn't expect was.

In this experiment, not only Shanks' protagonist aura lost its effect.

The alternative plan of spatial isolation of the fortress of Lianjian City also lost its effect.

"I just said this method is unreliable!"

Shanks didn't know why, but he suddenly felt excited.

"What devil fruit, it's all random!"

"Even the previous Piaopiao Fruit appeared in my hands because you were lucky enough at that time!"

Adrian glanced at Shanks lightly and said coldly.

"Remember, Shanks, now, you owe me a Superman Devil Fruit."

"Huh?"

Thank you very much to "揶描123" for the 400 starting coin reward! !

Third update.
