Chapter 165: The Demon Lizard's Shocking Gamble
"Attention everyone!"
"Everyone retreat!"
The first one to speak out was the captain of the White Bear Pirates, Riddle Pozzo.
As a great pirate with a bounty of more than 500 million beli, he is especially proficient in the Haki of seeing, hearing, and coloring, so he naturally sensed that something was wrong with the Demon Lizard.
With Riddle Pozzo's reminder, everyone calmed down a little.
However, many people still disagree.
After all, the demon lizard had become like this, with half of its head broken off. How could it still be alive after such severe trauma?
In order to confirm that the demon lizard was dead, dozens of cannonballs were fired at the corpse on the ground.
"Boom, boom~"
After the smoke passed, the body of the demon lizard was still lying motionless on the ground, completely dead.
"Haha, Captain Riddle Pozzo, look."
"This monster is too dead to die!"
Compared to everyone's optimism, Riddle Pozzo's frown did not relax at all.
Instead, he spoke solemnly and said,
"I believe I'm not the only one who noticed this!"
"Anyone with a little bit of knowledge can detect the terrifying vitality of the demon lizard."
Riddle Pozzo looked at the red hair and others.
Following Riddle Pozo's reminder, everyone discovered that it was not just the strong men like the red hair who frowned, but also anyone who had a little awakening to their sense of knowledge, all with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Look, everyone, all the bodies on the ground have disappeared!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Following this exclamation, everyone reacted and realized that none of the corpses on the ground were missing.
No, it can be said that even a trace of blood has disappeared without a trace.
If there weren't traces of damage in many places, it would be difficult to know that a battle had taken place here.
After all, there was no smell of blood at all.
Soon, it was no longer necessary to sense the vitality of the demon lizard through sight and sound.
"Dong, dong~"
A strong heartbeat gradually began to sound.
Slowly, it became louder and louder, and became clearer and louder, even vibrating so much that it made the ears feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is it really a monster?"
"You won't die even if you do this!"
A pirate had a look of despair on his face.
"No, never become a toy of the Demon Lizard again."
Immediately, a crazy expression appeared on his face.
"go to hell!"
"Boom~"
The sound of the cannon sounded like a signal bomb. The weapons in everyone's hands fired wildly, and bullets and artillery fire denser than raindrops continued to hit the demon lizard.
He didn't stop until all the ammunition was used up.
Many people still kept firing. They had used up all their bullets, and they didn't know it. They kept roaring crazily.
But all this did not give everyone the slightest sense of security, and there was only infinite fear in their hearts.
Because, after all the shells are used up, the sonorous and powerful heartbeat still exists.
This sound was like a giant hammer, hitting people hard, shattering their psychological defenses in an instant, leaving some with only infinite fear and despair.
"Quickly retreat!"
As a sniper, Jesus Boo suddenly shouted in a hurry.
Other pirates who were proficient in the Haki of Seeing and Hearing also exclaimed and called on their men to retreat quickly.
Sure enough, in an instant, a huge claw stretched out from the smoke. Many pirates who reacted slowly had no time to escape. With a scream, everything returned to peace.
The pirates who escaped also looked scared.
He glanced at Jesus Bu unconsciously.
There were so many pirates present, and there were many who were proficient in seeing, hearing, and haki. However, the first to notice the situation was Jesus Bu, who was far away. It seemed that there were also hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the red-haired pirates!
Moreover, so far in the battle, it seems that although some members of the red-haired pirates have been injured, they have not been killed so far.
Hiss, now it seems that the red-haired pirate group has gained such a great reputation, and it is not without reason.
Even the position of emperor of the sea is not so far away.
However, now is not the time to think about this. The first priority is to consider how to deal with this monster.
When the smoke dissipated, the full view of the demon lizard was once again revealed in front of people.
Compared with just now, it has completely changed.
Although the size of the demon lizard has not changed much, first of all, all the wounds on its body have recovered as before.
Especially the head, half of the head had been smashed, but now, it appeared completely in front of everyone.
This kind of recovery ability is too scary!
It has completely exceeded the physiological limits of the human race.
Secondly, there are many spikes growing on the body of the demon lizard, and they reflect a dark light. You can tell at a glance that it must be highly poisonous.
Finally, there was the black flame burning on the tail of the demon lizard.
It is this black flame that brings the demon lizard back to life and returns to its original state.
This ability is very similar to Marco's Phoenix Fruit.
The most important thing is that everyone feels a fatal threat from the demon lizard, as if his life will be taken away at any time.
This is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing, which shows that the demon lizard has become stronger again!
Just now, we gathered everyone's strength to defeat it. Now, facing the more powerful demon lizard, what should everyone do?
In this suffocating atmosphere, many people suddenly found that they couldn't even move.
However, the demon lizard didn't care so much.
The scarlet eyes locked the prey in an instant.
More agile speed, more terrifying power, more abnormal defense and recovery, all of this made everyone unable to fight back.
In order to prevent the demon lizard from devouring more people and becoming stronger, each pirate group ordered their crew to retreat, leaving only seven powerful pirates such as Red Hair on the battlefield.
But even so, Red Hair and others could only barely resist the attack of the demon lizard.
Moreover, as time went on, these famous pirates fell one after another.
The figure of the demon lizard was like an insurmountable mountain, which could not be defeated, and people could not help but feel fear.
Such strength marked that the demon lizard had entered another realm, the pinnacle of the pirate world, the goal pursued by countless people-the strength of the sea emperor.
Being able to challenge those legendary figures made the navy very wary, but there was nothing they could do.
Such a result made the pirates present feel very uncomfortable.
It was obviously a beast that had completely fallen, but by some strange coincidence, the Demon Lizard broke through its strength and reached the level of the emperor of the sea.
Yes, the pirates who could stay on the field to fight were all extremely powerful and knowledgeable. They could see at a glance that the Demon Lizard had entered the level of awakening of the devil fruit, and under the blessing of the fruit ability, it entered the legendary level.
But there are gains and losses.
Originally, according to the strength of the Demon Lizard, it was impossible to enter this level so quickly.
Otherwise, the Demon Lizard would not have been beaten half to death by everyone and almost died.
In order to survive, the Demon Lizard burned its own life, forcing it to enter the awakening state and gaining unimaginable power, but at the same time, it also lost all its humanity and became a beast, a dying beast.
But there is a twist here. As long as the vitality is exhausted, it can devour people crazily and use the power of the fruit to make up for the loss of vitality. In this way, the demon lizard can avoid the danger of falling, and can break through the strength and jump up. No one can stop the demon lizard.
Although there are many disadvantages, not only will the life of the demon lizard be severely shortened, but there will be no improvement in strength. It is likely to stay here and may be the weakest in the same level.
However, once you step in, you step in. How many people are stuck at that level and can't step in for life.
What's more, under the circumstances at that time, there was no better choice.
It can be said that this is a gamble, a gamble that can affect the entire pirate world.
The winner is the king, and the loser will be deprived of everything.
