Chapter 474: Stripping! Underworld fruit!
Adrian could feel that what Brooke said was not false.
In fact.
In the future, the terrifying three-masted ship encounters the Straw Hat Pirates, and it is learned that the island whale "Rabu" who once accompanied the Lombard Pirates sailing in the Western Sea is still waiting for the return of their pirates in the Twin Gorges of Upside Down Mountain.
Brooke did try to end his own life on more than one occasion.
Even the extremely powerful underworld fruit retained his soul and existence.
But losing all his fellow pirates, being trapped in the sunless Devil's Triangle, and living in solitude for decades really wiped out all of Brooke's hopes and dreams for survival.
In short, Brooke at this moment has no reason to continue living!
Until Luffy and Rab rekindle the fire of his soul.
This skeleton that has spent decades in the Devil's Triangle is actually no different from being completely dead!
Adrian looked directly into Brooke's dark, empty eyes without hesitation.
After a long time, he spoke quietly.
"Being willing to die means that you are willing to give up the underworld fruit?"
There are two different ways and restrictions for using the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card].
The first one is to hit the target person directly until he completely loses his self-awareness.
Adrian had just tried it.
Use the dream ghost to hit Brooke without causing the opponent to completely lose consciousness.
On the contrary, after being possessed by the dream ghost, the soul of the exploding skull was still quite active.
And the spiritual pressure that can directly defeat the conscious consciousness of most pirate minions cannot put Brook into a complete coma, but it only puts a strong load on his soul.
As for other methods...
For a while, Adrian couldn't imagine any way to make a "soul" completely lose his consciousness. (Brooke's essence is a soul)
After all, ghost fruit users are not soul fruit users.
Adrian's research on the soul is not very in-depth.
If this is the case, there is only the second option that can be used - to let the esper willingly give up his Devil Fruit, and he can also use the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] to strip it away!
Hearing Adrian's question, Brooke replied without hesitation: "Of course! If you can take away the Underworld Fruit from my body, it is simply a dream!"
Brooke's tone was filled with unabashed disgust.
For the underworld fruit, Brooke at this moment has no favorable impression at all!
Adrian let out a gentle breath, called out the panel directly, opened the item bar, looked at the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] with mysterious patterns engraved on the surface, and lightly clicked on the icon.
[It has been detected that the target person voluntarily gave up his Devil Fruit ability! 】
[Should I use [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] to peel it off? 】
‘Goal achieved! ’
A bright and dazzling light flashed in Adrian's eyes, and it flashed away without being noticed by Brooke on the opposite side.
Seeing that the other party suddenly fell silent for some reason.
Brooke, who had initially recovered from the huge pressure of spiritual pressure, laughed.
"Yo ho ho ho... You can't do it either, kill a person who is already dead - no, a skeleton."
Brooke shifted into a position that was more comfortable on his bones.
"Even if I jump into the sea, the seawater can't drown me, because my bones are too light and can only float on the surface of the sea...yohohoho!"
"No, I can definitely do it!"
Adrian answered, deliberately leaving the rest of the question unsaid.
‘There’s just one other thing to consider, and that’s how to keep the soul of your skeleton! ’
Thanks to the presence of the Underworld Fruit, Brooke was able to return from death, albeit as a soul.
But it is precisely because there is only one soul and no body to protect the soul.
If Brooke is deprived of the Underworld Fruit and loses the power of the Devil Fruit, he will definitely die.
Even though it is mentioned in the notes of the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card], after stripping off the Devil Fruit, you can freely choose to end the life of the previous ability user or keep him alive.
But for Brooke, who only has one soul, this annotation ability may not be of much use.
To be fair.
Adrian was quite used to killing evil pirates. Even the old man Dahai who went to sea decades ago would show no mercy when it was time to take action.
But Brooke...
Although he is a little evil, he is not evil in the sense of committing evil, but in an obscene and obscene way.
Kill such a guy without mercy.
Adrian was also reluctant.
A red light flashed in his eyes, and he had the domineering look to predict the future, constantly predicting what might happen next.
Deprived of the fruits of hell...Brooke's soul ascended to heaven on the spot...
Deprive yourself of the underworld fruit...Use your psionic energy to stabilize your soul...Brooke's soul still ascends to heaven...
Deprived of the underworld fruit... using spiritual pressure... Brook's soul was destroyed on the spot...
Pictures of the future continued to unfold in Adrian's mind, like vivid pictures.
When he first obtained the domineering characteristic of [foreseeing the future].
The panel once marked, "The future is not unique, but has multiple branches"! (Chapter 113)
Whenever Adrian keeps taking action, he takes action.
The picture of the future is also constantly changing.
Adrian kept predicting the future situation and finally found a solution that could not be faulted for the time being.
Nether energy infected Brook's soul...deprived him of the Underworld Fruit...temporarily stabilized his soul state...the three-minute limit passed without any problems...
Withdraw from the ability to predict the future.
Adrian looked at Brooke steadily, his inexplicable gaze making the skeleton feel numb.
"Yo ho——"
Brooke's attempt at soothing laughter wasn't over yet.
Adrian raised his right palm, and a rich blue light flowed out from his palm, quickly spreading forward, directly wrapping Brooke, and continuously passing through the broken left forearm bone. Skeleton frame, seeping inwards.
Brook's eyes widened slightly, and he could actually feel this blue energy, which seemed to be able to continuously replenish his soul ability.
"Ade——"
Adri was safely immersed in the operation of using psionic energy to infect Brook's soul, completely ignoring the noise from the outside world. He had done this type of operation several times before, and this was how the soul of Ship Spirit Rumi was preserved.
Now that I do it again, it seems more skillful, but because it is a human soul, it is inevitable to pay some attention.
Not long after, the psionic energy completely penetrated into Brooke's soul.
Adrian directly took out the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card].
【Strip! and! Save the other person's life! 】
A bright white light burst out from the small card in Adrian's palm and hit Brooke's body suddenly.
Brooke only felt a terrifying force suddenly hit him, and a stream of soul-rending feelings emerged continuously, and boundless pain directly overwhelmed him.
Brooke raised his head and opened his upper and lower jaws toward the sky, but no sound came out.
I don’t know how long it took, it could be a second, or it could be a year.
The white light retracted into Adrian's palm.
The white skeleton bound by the nether energy seemed to have lost all its power and fell straight onto the rotten ship plank below, directly collapsing into scattered skeletons.
What appears in the rich blue light is Brooke's soul!
What Adrian was holding in his palm was a dark yellow Devil Fruit. The surface was covered with mysterious spiral patterns of Tang grass, and four small and cute raised tentacles stood directly under the fruit.
Superhuman type·Yellow Spring Fruit!
Deprive success!
Thank you very much to "Wen Changbuhui" for the 500 starting coin reward! ! The new concept is three o’clock, but it’s actually 3:40 (embarrassing)
