Chapter 189 Slow...Light! ! !

nameless bay,

The pirate flag fluttered in the wind.

The terrain here is not suitable for building a port. Although there are no reefs offshore, the problem is that the rocky beach on the land is too narrow. Less than fifty meters from the water's edge, there is a steep cliff of almost 90 degrees. This cliff, which is about eighty meters high, prevents the Kingdom of Alabasta from opening a port here.

Fortunately, there is a small road leading deep inland. Courageous merchants will take the small road to transport supplies to this nameless bay to trade with pirates.

"Damn it, Bolki, haven't you finished supplying yet?"

"Boss, we have to wait."

"Still waiting? How long do we have to wait in this ghost place? We have been in this ghost place for three days."

"Boss, don't be angry. There is nothing we can do about it. This is not a serious port. There are very few merchants coming here. If we wait a little longer, we will almost be able to complete the supplies tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, this is the first tomorrow! Those hooded guys in Alabasta are all bastards!"

A short man wearing a purple fur coat was sitting on the big rock under the cliff and sulking. He rubbed his long red nose and cursed the Kingdom of Alabasta for not doing anything. The bastard Crocodile was not as good as he is now. He was so ruthless that he wouldn't kill all the passing pirates.

Now that I can't even go to a serious port, I can only find a way to avoid Alabasta's navy and sleep in this sterile place.

This man is the captain of the Silver Fox Pirates, Foxy, nicknamed "Silver Fox", with a bounty of 24 million berries. He is a newcomer who entered the Grand Line from the South China Sea for the first time. He is said to be a newcomer... but in fact he He is thirty-eight years old and has been hanging out in the South China Sea.

The reason why he had the courage to break into the Grand Line this time was not because he had any ambition.

It's purely because not long ago, a super crazy and murderous new pirate emerged in the South China Sea. No matter whether it's a navy, a pirate, or a civilian... as long as anyone dares to stand in front of him, no one can escape alive. , blood flowed into rivers wherever it passed.

It's so cruel.

The pirates in the South China Sea were frightened.

Foxy didn't dare to squat in the South China Sea, for fear of being caught by the newcomer who was looking for trouble everywhere, so he gritted his teeth and rushed into the Grand Line.

"Boss, there seems to be a ship coming over there." The person who spoke was a woman, very beautiful, with long indigo hair, and a strange black mask on her face, which seemed to be Standard equipment for the Pirates...Also, the figure is quite nice!

She is a combatant and cheerleader of the Silver Fox Pirates.

She stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance, trying her best to see the shadow of the sail in the distance.

At this moment,

There was also a commotion on the pirate ship docked in the bay.

Apparently the pirates who stayed on the pirate ship also noticed the fleet heading towards the bay.

"I didn't see the pirate flag...it doesn't seem like a pirate?" Back on the pirate ship, Bolqi took it and looked at the approaching warship. She didn't find the black pirate flag, only the black pirate flag. There is a man on the bow of the boat holding a phone. He seems to be talking to someone?

She lowered her binoculars.

Looking at the captain beside him... Foxy, who was also holding a telescope and looking into the distance, was shaking, and his legs were shaking as if he had a convulsion.

"Boss?"

"Boss?"

"Are you OK?"

Polki was frightened.

"Porchi, retreat, retreat... No, no, run away... Hurry up, let's go back to the South China Sea!!!" Foxy suddenly threw away the telescope, jumped to his feet and shouted, yelling to give up. The pirates weighed anchor and set sail.

Because the supplies had not been completed, and there were no enemies near the bay, the pirate group was quite relaxed.

Foxy himself had just disembarked and went to the shore to relax.

Even if the pirates began to react because they discovered that the unidentified fleet was approaching, the loosely disciplined pirates could not complete the assembly so quickly. In addition, everyone did not understand why the captain suddenly issued such an outrageous order.

so,

Foxy's orders were not effectively implemented.

"You idiots, what are you still doing standing around? Are you waiting to die? Get out and weigh the anchor!"

Foxy was furious.

"Boss, boss, what's going on?" Bolqi looked at the hysterical Foxy and felt confused. Everyone finally climbed over the Upside Down Mountain and came to the new world, and now they have to return to the South China Sea to face Kidd. A brutal lunatic?

"Porchi, didn't you see?"

Foxy's voice changed with anger, "That's the Black Prince, Black Prince, you... you're done, you can't run away anymore." Looking at the warship approaching at extremely fast speed, he realized that there was no chance of another one. Foxy, who had the chance to escape, was instantly drained of his strength and sat down directly on the deck.

Black Prince?

The strange names mixed with some familiarity made the pirates look at each other.

Then,

Some people think of this name that once occupied the headlines of newspapers.

"The Black Prince...is that monster with the same name as the Four Emperors?" Bolqi also remembered it, matching the appearance of the man he just saw with the photo in the newspaper in his memory, feeling huge fear It was like a tsunami that broke her strength.

Maybe you are going to die?

There are not just one or two pirates who have developed similar consciousness.

The poison called despair was poured into the hearts of the pirates.

"But why...why did the Black Prince appear here? Shouldn't he be in the New World?" Bolqi sat on her knees on the deck. Looking up, she could see the waves flying on the approaching battleship. dark blue flag embroidered with gold coffee tree.

The sea breeze was blowing constantly, and the pirate flag was flying high.

The lifeless pirate ship is like transforming into a mobile cemetery on the sea, and the pirates are waiting to be buried under the sea with the pirate ship.

In fact, it doesn't mean that everyone dare not resist, but the performance of Captain Foxy can't help but make people feel discouraged. It discouraged those few people and simply gave up resistance.

"...Hey, hey, isn't it?"

"What's happening here?"

Eleus was stunned.

The situation of the Silver Fox Pirates... was beyond his expectation. He also wanted to use these trash fish to practice their fruit abilities through actual combat! What's going on with this non-resistance attitude? It's simply unreasonable.

Elvus waved his sleeves, accompanied by the sound of "dang rang rang".

The flagship under his seat and the pirate ship opposite were forcibly connected together. The sailors held the planks and quickly built a pontoon bridge.

Elus walked onto the pirate ship of the Silver Fox Pirates on the creaking pontoon, and saw the target of the operation...Silver Fox Foxy, a superhuman-type person with the slowness fruit ability, Sitting on the deck like mud, with his head lowered, he was ready to be killed.

"Why don't you resist?"

Eleus kicked Red's nose, and Foxy remained motionless like a corpse.

"Resisting... is useless!"

Foxy was extremely frustrated.

He has a very bright mind. Compared to those idiots who don't know what fear is and have one gut to the end, Foxy, nicknamed "Silver Fox", is considered a smart man among the pirates. It's a pity that he is so smart. It was all just cleverness. When he realized that he had hit an insurmountable wall, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​trying.

"······"

Eleus was speechless.

This statement...is the truth!

But this is very boring! There is no sense of achievement at all.

"Otherwise, try to resist. If you can hurt me, I can spare your life." Elus tried desperately to stir up the resistance of these pirates, "I will not use the power of domineering , so many of you can go together, even if it’s a scratch, even if it’s a broken skin, you win...”

"······"

Foxy raised his head. If he could survive, no one would want to die. He came to the Grand Line just because he was afraid that he would be killed by Kidd's junior who didn't care about martial arts if he stayed in the South China Sea. Of course, he didn't want to die so soon. On the Grand Line.

"Well, will we be killed in the battle?"

Foxy's brain is indeed very flexible.

You can still take this into consideration at this time.

"Won't."

Elus smiled and said: "Killing you will not bring much benefit to me. At most, it will beat you until you lose the ability to resist." He did not forget to collect souls to replenish the power consumed by Bengyu, but he really was not prepared He kills people in battle, and he also uses these guys to test his fruit abilities.

Anyway, once the experiment is over, it won't make any difference to kill them all.

Of course, if these guys can really hurt him, he will not break his promise. There are only hundreds of low-quality souls around!

well!

There is no way, he is such a man who keeps his word.

"Well... Well, if you fly into the sky, we can't hurt you."

Elus was happy.

He didn't even know whether this silver fox was brave or timid. Call him bold... He didn't even have the courage to resist in the face of Elus. Call him timid... ·Dare to negotiate terms with Elus over and over again.

"Why don't we limit our battlefield to the rocky beach over there?"

Elvus was extremely reasonable at this time. He didn't want to win too quickly or be boring, so he happily added restrictions to himself.

rocky beach,

It is the place where Foxy was relaxing before. The depth from front to back is less than fifty meters, and the distance from left to right is just over a hundred meters. At both ends are high piles of rocks, which should be natural landscapes caused by the earthquake... ·This area is not very big.

Strictly speaking, this is not as big as a standard football field.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied now? Don't tell me if you have any more questions?" Elus stared at Foxy with a smile, forgetting it over and over again, if he dares to do it again...directly Use spiritual pressure to defeat all conscious and unconscious resistance, and forcefully peel off the devil fruit.

The peeling off of the Devil Fruit requires the host not to resist.

Not only is there no resistance on the physical level, but the most important thing is that the mental consciousness cannot have any thoughts of resistance. Even the subconscious mind will hinder the peeling off of the Devil Fruit... After research, Elus discovered that using Reiatsu can completely defeat the host's sense of resistance.

but,

This trick is probably only useful for these weak people.

At Bruno's level, Elus can defeat his consciousness and peel off the Devil Fruit in minutes. A true strong man can counteract Elus's spiritual pressure invasion with just his overlord-colored domineering energy...

Even if someone like the Pirate Emperor or Admiral becomes a prisoner... there is no hope of successfully peeling off the Devil Fruit if they don't waste ten days and a half.

"Hey, how long do you have to think about it! My patience is limited. If it makes me unhappy... a happy death will become an unattainable luxury." Elus threatened. , let alone this simple intimidation effect is really good!

"I agreed."

Foxy nodded his head crazily, fearing that Aleus's patience would be exhausted in the next second.

"very good."

Eleus clapped his hands.

"Then... let's get ready! Here you go..." Elus turned around and hooked his hand, temporarily replacing Fran and following him to serve, named Clarisse. The maid walked quickly, "Clarisse, what time is it now?"

"Your Highness, it is now three twenty-seven in the afternoon."

Taking out her pocket watch and taking a look at it, Clarisse accurately reported the current time.

"At three twenty-seven... Red Nose, I'll give you half an hour to arrange your troops. Wait until four o'clock... I will rush directly to the beach from here, listen. Do you understand?" Elus asked with a smile.

"understand."

Foxy's head was nodding rapidly.

When he saw Elus turn around and step onto the pontoon to leave, he understood that he should take action now. Not daring to waste time, he immediately sent Bolki, Hamburger, Swordfish Man Capodi, Piculus, and Loach. The fish giant bhikkhu Panda... these cadres were called together to discuss what to do.

Returning to the bridge of the ship,

As soon as Eleus' butt touched the sofa, Clarisse brought him freshly baked muffins and a cup of hot coffee and milk...all of which were his favorites.

"Hey Bruno, want some snacks?"

"Need not."

Just opposite him, Bruno, who was not restrained in any way, was sitting on the sofa, holding a white silk scarf and wiping the cup.

It has been polished to a shiny finish, but Bruno is still wiping the cup on the coffee table carefully, inside and out, with a concentration that is eye-catching... This is Bruno's hobby , as the slowest among CP9's colleagues.

He does not have distinct preferences like others. Lucci likes drinking, especially brandy, which can be called an obsession; Kaku will maintain his beloved saber when he has nothing to do; Gabra is always intoxicated in love, repeating The cycle of falling in love and being dumped... Others also have their own hobbies.

Bruno liked baseball for a while when we all trained together.

But it is a pity that this is a multi-player sport, and it is impossible to play without the cooperation of others. He quickly gave up this hobby... After that, for a long time, in his spare time, he only practiced and was in a daze. He couldn't find anything. to things you like to do.

Until he disguised himself as a bar owner in the Water City,

He found that he was obsessed with the inconspicuous task of wiping cups. Watching each cup being wiped clean, it seemed that his own soul was becoming clearer.

After being captured alive by Elus and leaving the Water Capital, he didn't expect to escape under Elus's eyes after losing his fruit ability, even if he didn't have any restraints on him... On the ship Having nothing to do, he started cleaning the cup again.

It can be said that I never tire of it.

"...You guys are really weird. You like to clean cups...well! It's not really weird at all." Elus took a sip of coffee milk and said, "Everyone has it. The right to choose your own hobbies, wiping glasses is nothing at all.”

Bruno ignored Eleus's gossip.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the act of cleaning the cup.

Elus was frustrated in front of Bruno, but he was not angry about it. He did not hate this kind of dedicated guy who could truly like something or something from the bottom of his heart. Work...that is a very happy thing!

He drank coffee and milk, ate muffins, and watched Bruno wipe the cup...

"Your Highness, there is one minute left, the time is up."

Clarisse warned.

"So fast?"

Elvus shook his head, "Time flies so fast... Let me see if they can bring me enough fun." He stood up and walked out of the bridge, standing on the side of the ship. On the other side, holding on to the railing, I looked at the rocky beach in front of me between the cliff and the waves.

Three hundred members of the Foxy Pirates were arrayed on the east side, and the land on the west side was vacated, apparently as a space reserved for Elus.

"It's pretty good! The team is very neat!"

Elus looked at the Foxy Pirates' array, pointed and expressed his opinion.

Then--

"I hope you can carry it a little longer so that I can verify my growth."

Eleus jumped up,

The spiritual pressure formed a nearly transparent platform under his feet, allowing him to easily cross the sea area between the ship and the rocky beach as if walking on flat ground in the air. Looking down in the air, he could see the east side of the rocky beach. There are traces of excavation on the side ground.

They probably laid mines,

Very attentive!

Elvus' figure floated downwards like a big bird. With a slight shake of his right hand, the iron-colored chains were like a long dragon emerging from the water, hitting the ground at an alarming speed. The violent impact inevitably triggered the explosion of the buried mine.

Then came the second and third... Dozens of chains stretched out, circling and walking on the ground like a big snake, detonating all the landmines without leaving a single one behind.

"Fire! Fire!"

Foxy shuddered when he saw Elvus detonating all the landmines they had worked so hard to lay so easily. He once again realized what a terrifying opponent they were going to face, and that was because they had used all their means. Enemies who may not be able to touch each other's shadow.

Under his command,

Twenty cannons removed from the ship opened fire simultaneously.

One after another, the cannonballs flew towards Elvus, who had not yet landed.

"The reaction is still a bit slow!"

Elus spread the five fingers of his left hand, with a bright smile on his face, and uttered two simple words, "heat... additional."

The majestic heat was released instantly and accumulated rapidly in the limited space. The air expanded rapidly and exceeded the critical point of the reaction... Then, the explosion occurred, accompanied by a deafening roar and a blazing blast of wind. He moved forward and rolled the flying cannonballs back into the formation of the Silver Fox Pirates without falling or blowing.

The cannonballs that returned and fell erratically broke the Silver Fox Pirates' neat formation.

The pirates were blown up and cried for their fathers and mothers, and they were in a mess.

Foxy didn't even react. How could he still do this? The shells fired flew back again...

additional fruits,

This is the Devil Fruit that Elus is still analyzing.

Able to add additional features to specified targets.

For example, heat, hardness, gravity, etc. Eleus just added a huge amount of heat to the air, thus triggering an explosive reaction.

"Hold still, stay where you are and don't move. The gunners continue to fire, and the others are ready to fight." Foxy suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself to restrain the restless subordinates. Finally, they would not be so fast. He was beaten to pieces.

The gunners loaded the shells, but found that they didn't know where to shoot.

Because the smoke and dust raised by a large number of explosions obscured their sight, they could not find the specific location of Elus. However, facing the captain with red eyes, they did not dare to disobey the order and had no choice but to fire randomly forward. Just don't shoot the shells outside the smoke-filled area.

The sea breeze calmed the flying smoke.

However... they didn't see Elus' figure.

"Up there, up there."

The sharp-eyed pirate discovered Elus' whereabouts and pointed to the nearly straight steep cliff to the side.

Foxy quickly raised his neck and saw Alvus standing on the cliff. The chain extending from his right hand was wrapped around the protruding rocks on the cliff... It looked a bit like a spider, Foxy Xi thought subconsciously.

But in an instant he abandoned this boring reverie.

Because Elus was descending at a rapid speed.

This time, without the captain's urging, the gunners quickly changed the direction of the cannon muzzle with the help of other pirates, and there was no need to adjust the shooting elements. The distance was getting closer and closer, and it was almost enough to shoot out the cannonballs. Besides, There wasn't much time for them to adjust.

None of the cannonballs that rained down hit Elus.

However, the cannonballs that hit the rock wall kicked up a shower of gravels. The flying gravels were more troublesome than the cannonballs. In order to avoid being hit by the flying gravels, Elus wrapped himself in chains like dragons and snakes. Zhou rotated extremely fast and bounced away the flying gravel.

At this moment,

Foxy stood up bravely and rushed towards Elvus who landed.

The thumb, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand were curled up, and only the index finger and tail finger were raised, a bit like a modified version of orchid fingers... In short, he aimed at Elus, who was still falling at a constant speed in mid-air. , "Take the move! Delay the light."

The circular pink light waves are visible to the naked eye.

The speed of the light wave is extremely fast, but it does not reach the true speed of light, otherwise Elus would not be able to dodge at all.

He did not use his body to forcefully connect. The originally extended chain suddenly shortened, and the downward momentum instantly reversed into an upward movement. The whole person moved upward, avoiding the pink light wave. Only one chain that was deliberately left behind was illuminated by the light wave. .

In an instant,

The chains that originally moved as fast as lightning slowed down.

It was like entering a slow-motion scene, completely losing flexibility. Even if Elus pulled it, it could not change the movement speed of the chain that was illuminated. In comparison, the part that was not illuminated was faster and trembled like a phantom. ·····The indescribable sense of gap is so strange.

Thirty seconds,

Elus jumped up and down the cliff like a monkey, dodging the torrent of attacks.

A full thirty seconds passed before the chains trapped in the slow-motion camera returned to normal.

"The dull light... is awesome!"

Memory is just memory after all,

After witnessing and experiencing it with his own eyes, Elus deeply understood how interesting the power of the Slowness Fruit is... In these thirty seconds, he has already conceived of various uses of the Slowness Fruit, especially in conjunction with his diverse abilities...

Can’t miss it!

It would be a waste of money for such a useful fruit to fall into the hands of an unmotivated guy like Foxy.

"The Fruit of Slowness...let me see more of it!"

Eleus laughed into the wind.

The fun game has just begun!

Just when Elus was having fun, something big happened in the new world!
