Chapter 196 The Dog Leash Named ‘Violence’ and ‘Profit’
"Chains? Isn't that the ability of the treasure hunter, Mad Torega? Isn't it the one who kidnapped you in the Water City..." Kaku's eyes widened. He had not forgotten that Bruno was killed that night. Regarding the matter of being captured alive, he and Lucci later speculated on when Mad Torega was recruited by the revolutionary army.
"The one who caught me was Prince Elus."
Bruno smiled bitterly.
"...You mean that night... the Black Prince did it himself? The Black Prince was indeed in the Water City at that time, and he left early the next morning..."
Kaku's face twitched, it didn't seem impossible.
"That's the fact. He was captured alive by Prince Elus that night, and was quickly deprived of the power of the Gate Fruit. After that... I saw the Black Prince using other different abilities one after another. To be honest, I have no idea how many Devil Fruit abilities Prince Eleus has mastered." Bruno said solemnly.
After hearing Bruno's words, the atmosphere that had finally warmed up suddenly returned to freezing point.
As dead and oppressive as a cemetery.
The abilities of at least three Devil Fruits are combined into one. What kind of monster is that? Just using a Devil Fruit of a Phantom Beast species, you have already conquered the new world and become the hegemon on par with the Four Emperors. If you go all out... how perverted would that be?
"No, that's not right. By the way...don't you feel that it's off topic?"
Gabra broke the dead silence by tugging at his beard.
"Hey, Bruno, you did this on purpose, right? You deliberately promoted the Black Prince's power to scare me... You bastard, you haven't really surrendered to the Black Prince, have you?"
"...I can't prove that I didn't defect to the Black Prince."
Bruno was helpless.
How to prove this thing?
In other words... there is no need for that now. Even if you can't prove it, you don't have to worry about being purged. Everyone is just a prisoner.
"You're right, there's no way to prove this kind of thing."
Someone echoed Bruno.
It’s just that... this sound seems to be coming from outside? "
"Crack!"
A door opened in a large granite wall.
Elvus pushed open the stone door and walked into the hall calmly. When he stepped into the room, the stone door closed again with a bang and the appearance of the wall was restored. No trace of gaps could be seen. This trick is familiar to everyone here.
——Menmen fruit!
It was really taken away by the Black Prince!
Seeing the scene of the door opening on the wall, everyone in CP9 finally gave up the last trace of doubt in their hearts.
After confirming that Bruno was not joking, deep confusion arose in his heart. What on earth is the Black Prince going to do? Do you really want to recruit them? So...will everyone surrender or not? Everyone's eyes turned from Elus to Lucci, who was the backbone of CP9.
"Bruno is a tough guy. I gave him time to think about it when we were in the Water Capital, but he still hasn't given me an answer... My patience is not unlimited! But I also It can be seen that with so many people in CP9, the only one who can actually make the decision is you, Mr. Rob Lucci."
Elus walked straight over and waved his hand gently. The iron-colored chains tied up Kaku and Natsutori who were sitting opposite Luqi. They threw them on the floor next to them like garbage, and then placed them in the empty space. He sat down on his seat.
"I said these words to Bruno before... Well, let's say them again! In my opinion, there is essentially no difference between working for the World Government and working for me. They are all selling labor force anyway... ·As for things like justice, the world government... No, when the Celestial Dragons are in power, they are the descendants of the Creator, the descendants of the gods, and the embodiment of justice. But the problem is What if this encyclopedia falls by the wayside?"
"To put it bluntly, it is not the winner who represents justice, but justice only belongs to the winner..."
"Do you think you'll be the new victor?"
Lucci interrupted Eleus's nonsense.
"Ah! Isn't this natural? Who would think that he would be a loser?" Elus replied matter-of-factly.
"······Ha ha!"
Lu Qi laughed.
The smile was ferocious and cruel, and the corners of his raised mouth were full of cruelty.
"I agree with this! The winner is justice, and the loser must be evil... However, the Tianlong people are the winners who control the world now. Why should we rely on you to bet on an uncertain future? ?”
"······hey-hey!"
Eleus also laughed. He touched his chin and said bluntly: "Of course it's because you are my prisoners now!"
"Prisoners have no human rights. There is no rule about treating prisoners well in the laws of the world government... Even if there is, it will not work on my territory... Here, my will These are the rules and principles. You have only two choices, one is to surrender, the other is... to die!!! That's it!"
As soon as the words fell, a chilling air surged out.
Elvus was also smiling, but the murderous look between his brows and eyes was so strong that people dared not look directly at his smile.
"Give you three minutes to tell me your choice."
three minutes,
It's too short!
Everyone in CP9 looked at Lu Qi, and even the two unlucky guys Kaku and Natsuri on the ground struggled to stretch their necks.
The smile on Lu Qi's face faded, and his tense muscles jumped up and down. He stared at Alvus's murderous smile and wished he could punch him. In fact... he really did so. , his face turned into that of a leopard, yellow and black patterns appeared on his arms with rolled up sleeves, and sharp claws popped out of his hands and feet.
"Six Types of Secrets·Six Kings Spear."
Both fists were like cannonballs blasting towards Elus.
Lu Qi, who transformed into a human beast form, used his strongest trick.
This is the highest secret that can only be mastered after learning all the secrets of the six movements. The power is gathered and released in the form of impact, with enough destructive power to break steel plates tens of meters thick.
His arrogant character does not mean that he is an idiot. Trying to test him in front of the Black Prince is tantamount to killing yourself. Either don't do it. Once you do it, you must go all out with the momentum of Tarzan. Maybe you will have a chance to see the third one. select······
"boom--!!!"
Lu Qi spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The whole person was slapped to the ground by Eleus with the ferocious aura of a child hitting the board.
"Two minutes and fifty-eight seconds left."
Elus sat on the sofa and counted down as if nothing had happened.
Yes,
Lu Qi made a surprise attack and then counterattacked... Elus sat on the sofa without moving. He just waved his hand slightly, and the iron-colored chain wrapped around Lu Qi's thin waist. When Qi's fist hit him in the face, Lu Qi was immediately thrown away by the chain and fell to the floor like a pancake.
It was a really bad fall this time.
Everyone heard the sound of bones breaking, and the spitted blood dyed his clothes red.
On the other hand, Elus, who was hit by Lucci's strongest move, didn't see any scars on his face... This is natural. Lucci vomited blood while raising his hands that felt almost broken. , look at the twisted fist... Anyone can understand that the phalanges are definitely broken.
The mind tried its best to recall the feeling of shock. Elus's face was as hard as a seastone!
Moreover, Elus was hit by him on purpose, right? Lu Qi didn't see clearly when the chain wrapped around his waist. Logically speaking, it would not be difficult to dodge his Six Kings Spear at this speed, which meant it was intentional! Do you deliberately take your strongest blow so that you can recognize the reality?
The vomited blood was not brain matter.
Lu Qi clearly realized that he was not killed directly because of Eleus' mercy.
Two seconds,
Lu Qi was so seriously injured that he couldn't even stand up.
"Lucci!"
"Lucci, are you okay?"
"Hey, hello, Lucci? Lucci?"
Kalifa, Bruno...including Gabra, who often quarreled with Lucci and seemed to have an extremely bad relationship, all gathered around in a panic. The two caterpillars tied up on the ground were even more desperate. As if squirming, he shouted Lu Qi's name loudly.
Even Elus' fierce power failed to stop Kalifa and the others from approaching Lucci.
Just looking at Lu Qi who was vomiting blood, the three panicked people didn't know what to do... They had received emergency treatment training, but the problem was that it could only deal with minor injuries, like Lu Qi There is nothing they can do about such seriously injured patients.
"Everyone get out of the way."
People with animal abilities have a hard life.
Luqi took a breath, waved his fists that could not be extended, and drove away the three people around him. He tried his best to look up at Elus, who was sitting on the sofa to watch the excitement and countdown, with a look on his face. A blood-stained ferocious smile,
"Prince Elus, we... surrender, surrender!"
After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed to the ground, continuing to vomit blood.
"I just like smart people like you who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
Elus stood up with a gentle smile, completely gone from the murderous look before, "Bruno, since everyone has become one of our own... During this time, you have gained a lot of knowledge with me, you Let them get familiar with the environment first, and then slowly arrange your errands."
Bruno's eyes widened and he wanted to reply to the previous sentence. Is now the time to say these words? Boss Lu Qi was about to vomit all his blood... Of course he just thought about it. Boss Lu Qi said he surrendered himself, which meant that the Black Prince was their new boss. They must not talk back to the boss at this time.
"Your Highness, please allow me to find a doctor."
After being coerced by Elus and walking with him for a while, I finally figured out how to talk to Elus.
"Doctor? People with animal abilities are not that easy to die... Well, forget it, just go find a doctor if you want, it's really not easy to fight! Hey, Lu Qi, you can't do this! With this ability No matter who he is under, he can only play a small role..."
Bruno rushed out to find a doctor as fast as lightning, while Aleus squatted beside Lu Qi, muttering and preaching the heresy that fists are the truth.
Of course, this set of heresies won't bring any benefits in front of good people with moral conscience, but for a guy like Lu Qi who firmly believes that weakness is sin, it is absolutely the truth to his stomach!
"I, I will become stronger!"
Lu Qi's smile was still ferocious.
"Having ambition is a good thing. It would be even better if you could have the strength to match it. How about it? Do you want me to do you a favor? Get a more powerful Devil Fruit?"
Elus didn't care at all that Lu Qi was still vomiting blood, but sat down again and chatted enthusiastically.
Kalifa and Gabra stood nearby, at a loss, not knowing what to do at this time.
after all,
Now is different from before,
Black Prince... No, Prince Elvus is their boss, and unlike that idiot Spandam, this new BOSS can crush them all with one finger, just like Spandam. Pandam would definitely not be able to deal with Prince Elvus like that.
"Kalifa, help us first."
The second most reliable man in CP9, the long-nosed Kaku asked for support.
He was unsure of the temper of Prince Elvus, the new boss, and did not dare to disturb Prince Elvus and Lu Qi's chat. He could only call his companions to try to help remove the chains on him.
Kalifa walked over quickly and began to try to unlock the chains.
"...Replace the Devil Fruit?"
At this time, Lucci's attention was attracted by Eleus's words.
It was not that he was dissatisfied with his Devil Fruit. This power had indeed given him a lot of help in his past life, but after gradually seeing the stronger scenery in this world, he understood that the gap between Devil Fruits was so huge.
It’s hard to say what the superhuman Devil Fruit is, and it’s hard to judge them all together with their various abilities.
There are too few natural elements, and only one elementalization ability is enviable enough.
But!
Animal-type Devil Fruits have the most obvious differences in strength and weakness.
Ordinary species, ancient species, fantasy beast species...the three major animal series are like steps going up in sequence. The gap between ordinary species and ancient species is only reflected in strength, speed, resilience, etc. , compared to the ordinary animal type Devil Fruit, the ancient type is equivalent to an enhanced version.
Only the phantom beast species, the unreasonable phantom beast species, are enough to make ordinary and ancient species espers realize what unfairness is.
Everyone is an animal-type esper, so why are only those with phantom beast abilities capable of mastering special superpowers?
The so-called phantom beast species,
In the eyes of many people, it is simply a hybrid product of the animal type and the superhuman type. Compared with the ordinary species and the ancient species, the advantages are not generally great. Look at the espers in the sea today, and the natural espers all look like Don Quixote. The useless trash named Monet in the family,
And the espers of the phantom species...
Every one of them is a strong man standing at a very high place.
Marshal of the Warring States Period, Kaido of the Beasts, Black Prince Elus, Phoenix Marco, the second in command of the Whitebeard Pirates...there is no weak one!
"Of course, this kind of good thing is not free. Even my subordinates don't have enough merits to take advantage of it, especially a guy like you...who grew up in the dark! Want to For my trust, I must see your loyalty.”
Seeing the determination flashing in Lu Qi's eyes,
Elus knew that in addition to 'violence', a leash called 'profit' was also tied around the vicious dog's neck.
At this moment,
There were rapid footsteps outside the door.
Bruno came over with the doctor.
