Chapter 9 The Forbidden Power of the Sea
Chapter 9 The forbidden power on the sea...
Major General Kadaru was dumbfounded when he saw Zefa abandon them and rush directly to Hongye Island.
The ship has not yet docked, but the highest commander on the ship has already run away. What the hell?
The opponent is just a group of unknown pirates. Is it necessary for the admiral of the navy headquarters to take action personally?
"Immediately drive the warship to the port of Hongye Island, and then go to other warships to convey the order just now by Admiral Zefa."
Looking at the back of Admiral Zefa going away, Kadaru was also quite helpless. If Admiral Zefa has left, then he who stayed behind can only be responsible for command.
After all, apart from the admiral, he, the major general, has the highest rank here.
The pirate with a bounty of 20 million berries is nothing in Kadaru's eyes, but don't forget that at least 80% of their three warships are ordinary people who have not received any training.
Admiral Zefa has now run to the island by himself. If there is anything wrong with these recruits, won't he have to take the blame again?
As for the Red Leaf Island, Wood was holding a knife with both hands at the moment, and blood was still dripping from the blade. Around his body, there were also members of the Iron Arm Pirates who seemed to have no breath.
A rough count showed that there were about 20 to 30 people, which almost accounted for about half of the entire Iron Arm Pirates.
After killing so many pirates, Wood himself was not safe and sound. At this moment, he had countless injuries of various sizes, and even his entire left arm was completely drooping.
The bones of his left arm were obviously completely broken. Although such injuries basically do not take a few days to be alive again in the pirate world, they do affect Wood's strength at the moment.
Holding the long knife in his right hand, Wood swung it hard to shake off all the blood on the knife, so as to prevent the blood from flowing to the handle and causing his fingers to slip.
Looking at Wood swinging the knife, Iron Arm Cook, who was standing not far away from him, was also full of anger at the moment, wishing to skin Wood alive on the spot.
Compared to Wood, whose left arm was drooping, Cook's current situation was not much better. The long battle had consumed most of his physical strength.
The horrifying knife wound on his right eye not only directly affected his combat effectiveness at the moment, but the huge amount of bleeding also caused his physical condition to become increasingly weak.
However, compared to the pain in his right eye, Cook's hatred for Wood was even greater.
Back then, their "Iron Arm Pirates" set sail from the South China Sea with a dream, and the pirate group also grew all the way, and originally planned to enter the New World.
But they didn't expect that they had just entered the first half of the Grand Line, and on such a small island, they were almost wiped out by a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair!
"You killed so many people in our pirate group. I won't let you die so easily, kid!
You probably think that I have no fighting power after my right eye was injured and my physical strength is almost exhausted.
But you are not the only one who knows how to hold back. There is also this kind of forbidden power in this sea. Let me show you today."
Looking at the residents of Red Leaf Island who were still fighting with the Iron Arm Pirates on the other side, Wood originally planned to fight quickly.
The people on Red Leaf Island spontaneously formed a team to help him after seeing that he was injured.
But how could ordinary residents holding rakes and axes be the opponents of pirates with blood on their hands.
Although the people on Red Leaf Island are many times more than the Iron Arm Pirates, a large number of casualties occurred as soon as the collision occurred.
Originally, Wood also wanted to end the battle here as soon as possible, and then go there to support to reduce the casualties of the residents of Red Leaf Island.
However, Iron Arm Cook's words made Wood instantly look solemn, because it was not difficult to hear from Cook's words that the other party still had other tricks.
"The forbidden power of the sea, could it be..."
As if to verify Wood's conjecture, Iron Arm Cook's body began to change at this moment.
The skin that should have belonged to normal humans actually began to grow some fluff, and Cook, who was originally quite tall, now seemed to have taken hormones and grew a lot taller in a short period of time.
The originally angular muscles were gradually covered with short fluff, but Cook's arms and thighs became abnormally thick after a period of changes.
The Mohawk hairstyle remained unchanged, but the originally extremely rough face now turned into an animal that jumped and walked on two feet.
And this kind of animal Wood had also seen in his previous life, it was the so-called "kangaroo"!
"Tsk, is it an animal-type devil fruit ability user..."
Cook, who showed the devil fruit, looked complacent. He wanted to brag as usual, but he didn't expect Wood to know about the "devil fruit" and accurately said the type of his fruit.
"That's right, the forbidden power of the sea, people who take devil fruits will also be abandoned by the sea.
The devil fruit I ate is the animal-type rat fruit, kangaroo form.
Animal-type devil fruits can originally enhance the physical fitness of the ability users, and kangaroos are animals that are already quite good at boxing. Do you know what this means?"
Wood knew about the devil fruit, and Cook was not too surprised, after all, this was already the first half of the Grand Line.
Unlike the backward Four Seas, the people of the Grand Line are naturally more knowledgeable and will not be as surprised as the people of the Four Seas when they see the so-called ability users.
The animal-type devil fruit normally has three forms: normal form, half-human and half-beast form, and fully beast form.
Iron Arm Cook is just a rookie pirate with 20 million berries. Wood does not think that the opponent's devil fruit ability can be developed to a very strong level.
However, it must be said that the situation that was already a flying dragon riding on the face has become confusing again because of the sudden exposure of the identity of the ability user.
Cook, who has turned into a half-human and half-kangaroo form, jumped and shot in front of Wood. His muscular arms drove the fist wearing arm armor, and a punch broke through the air and swung towards Wood's head.
"Boom——————!"
The huge fist shattered the ground, and a few strands of Wood's black hair flew up, but his people had already appeared a few steps away from the original place. Looking at the ground covered with spider web cracks at this moment, he showed a face full of lingering fear.
After using the power of the devil fruit, Cook's jumping power and punching power are much stronger than before!
"Tsk, my physical strength has been consumed to this extent. If I were in my prime at the beginning, that punch would definitely make your head explode!"
Looking at the deep pit made by the arm armor on the ground, Cook showed a look of dissatisfaction.
In the past, when I was in this state, I punched with all my strength and directly penetrated a small warship of the navy.
