Chapter 156 The Continuous Triggering of the Pickup Feature (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 156: Continuously triggered pickup features (asking for monthly votes~)

King's Seven Warlords Crocodile...

Dead!

When Vivi learned the news from the Den Den Mushi, although she had already known the power of the Straw Hats and had already experienced the superb and magical methods of Red...

But when the disaster that had plagued the Kingdom of Alabasta for many years died in an unknown place, Vivi's consciousness suddenly became dazed.

After hanging up the phone, she looked into the distance of the Merry.

At this time, they were docked in the central area of ​​the Saint Dora River, the mother river that runs through the entire Kingdom of Alabasta.

This location is almost the center of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Whether you want to go to the Rainland, the Holy City, or any other city, it is about the same distance.

And this is also the territory that Red intends to ask the King of Alabasta for.

Don't look at the terrain of this location, it sounds very important.

But in the hundreds and thousands of years of history of the Kingdom of Alabasta, they actually had no plans to open up or build in this important area.

And this is what the time traveler Red finds difficult to understand.

He couldn't figure it out. There are so many wildernesses and uninhabited areas with no shortage of water and resources on both sides of the Saint Dora River...

Why are these guys so keen on digging various underground water sources in the hot and dangerous desert and using them to build cities.

"No, I have to report this to my father immediately..."

"And there is the problem of the rebels..."

Vivi raised her head and looked at Ace and Luffy who were fighting fiercely in the sky.

Endless flames spread across the sky, making the already hot Kingdom of Alabasta even hotter.

And at this moment, a dark figure suddenly flew out from the blazing flames.

Luffy grinned and laughed, waving his huge arms behind him and aiming at the flames in front.

"Rubber... Giant Pistol!!!"

Boom! ! !

The dark giant's fist suddenly smashed into the hot flames, instantly knocking a naked upper body man out of the flames.

"What did this kid eat in the three years I was away!?"

Ace, who was hit by the Armament Haki, put his hands in front of him, with an unbelievable look on his face.

The next second, his body instantly flew out like a cannonball and smashed into a desolate rock.

"Sure enough, the gap is still big!"

Zoro, who also awakened the Conqueror Haki, and Sanji, who could already mobilize the potential in his body, looked at the duel in front of them, but they couldn't help but be moved.

There are really too many strong men in the Grand Line!

Blackbeard some time ago, Ace in front of them...

And Crocodile, who Red took Robin to solve alone, is said to be a strong man second only to them.

"Not strong enough~"

Zoro's eyes flashed, and at the same time, they began to look forward to the next battle with Ace.

Influenced by Red, they have now learned to seize every opportunity and not miss any possibility to make themselves stronger.

After all, compared to the original timeline, they are now very clear about how weak their strength is.

They also understand how powerful their enemies are!

If they want Luffy to become the Pirate King and want them to fulfill their dreams, the current strength alone is far from enough!

While Zoro and Sanji were waiting for Luffy and Ace to finish their sparring...

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were also not idle at all.

"Usopp, are you sure these bugs can withstand such terrible temperature changes!?"

"These are all super strong rhinoceros beetles that you have carefully cultivated!"

Not far from the battlefield, in a simple research institute that was temporarily built.

Chopper, wearing a white coat and a pair of black-framed glasses, stared at the rhinoceros beetles that had just survived the scorching flames in the battlefield, with an expression of pity on his face.

Usopp, who was wearing a pair of glasses, patted Chopper on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Chopper!"

"Under my cultivation, these insects have a lot of grass-attribute energy in their bodies, and their vitality is extremely tenacious!"

"And it's better to let the problem appear as soon as possible than to find it on the battlefield in the future!"

"Okay!"

At Usopp's strong request, little Chopper nodded immediately, looking at the group of insects in front of him whose bodies were burned red in the flames, he suddenly took a deep breath, and then shouted:

"Frozen Wind!!!"

Huh~!!! ! !

The calm ice Pokémon energy surged rapidly in Chopper's body. As his moves were launched, a cold hurricane suddenly rose in the laboratory in the hot desert.

Everywhere the cold wind passed, everything seemed to have entered an extremely cold world of ice and snow, and all were covered with a thick layer of ice.

The rhinoceros beetles that were just being roasted by the flames in the laboratory were instantly frozen into delicate and lifelike ice sculptures.

"Failed?"

Looking at all the rhinoceros beetles that were frozen into ice sculptures, Chopper immediately showed a look of grievance on his face, as if he had destroyed Usopp's hard work.

But at this moment, Usopp's mouth suddenly showed an excited smile.

He patted Chopper's shoulder with joy, and then laughed proudly:

"How could my work fail!?"

While speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hands, and a light green light appeared in his eyes.

Under Chopper's puzzled gaze, Usopp shouted:

"Resurrect! My subordinates!!!"

Click... click...

It was as if some kind of switch was touched.

The moment Usopp's voice fell, a slight cracking sound suddenly burst out from the group of frozen rhinoceros beetles.

The next second, countless cracking sounds rang out one after another.

One after another, rhinoceros beetles broke through the ice layer, their wings trembled, and they made a buzzing sound, and flew into the air intact, forming the words [Usopp NB]! ! !

"Wow!!!" Seeing this scene, Chopper's eyes suddenly lit up with a golden light, and he looked at Usopp with admiration.

"You succeeded, Usopp!!!"

"Hehe~" Usopp shrugged his nose: "Isn't this natural!?"

"I am the strongest Usopp in the universe!!!"

Looking at Chopper's eyes at this time, Usopp felt extremely satisfied.

But then, deep in his heart, he secretly calculated:

"The speed, strength, and environmental tolerance of this batch of rhinoceros beetles... have far exceeded my expectations..."

"Next, just let them continue to reproduce and select better varieties..."

"Next time, even if I encounter an enemy with a super long target, I will not be helpless!"

Thinking of this, Usopp suddenly clenched his fists secretly in a place where Chopper couldn't see.

I have clearly promised everyone that I would become the world's top sniper and solve all long-distance enemies for everyone.

But...

In the battle not long ago, he could only watch his companions being attacked by Van Oka, whose sniper distance was more than 5 kilometers, and he was powerless.

Although no one took this matter to heart,

But after that battle, Usopp has been deeply trapped in self-blame and inferiority.

For this reason, he has hardly rested during this period. Every day, he uses Pokémon energy to continuously give birth to and cultivate various insects and plants.

And today, his hard work finally paid off...

This group of rhinoceros beetles, which he has not yet named, are not only incredibly powerful and can easily lift objects weighing one person, but also fly as fast as a bullet. Without the observation Haki, it is difficult to capture their figures with the naked eye.

In addition, they can withstand extremely hot and extremely cold climates...

This group of rhinoceros beetles already has preliminary combat capabilities!

They can be regarded as regular troops to help him deal with future enemies together.

"What's missing now is probably a way to carry insects with you."

"I wonder if there are any devil fruits with this function!?"

"I'll ask Red later... Oh, by the way, there's that guy Sanji!"

"He's seen the devil fruit encyclopedia before, maybe he can give some suggestions."

"Then the next job..." Usopp's brain was spinning rapidly, "is to wait for Wapol to copy the material of Van Oka's sniper rifle!"

After Van Oka's death, Usopp successfully inherited his legacy...

The sniper rifle "Chilriku" that Van Oka loved like his wife.

However, as the saying goes...

The bicycle you don't want to ride, others stand up and pedal!

As soon as Chilriku fell into Usopp's hands, she was dismembered.

After some research, Usopp found that this sniper rifle, whether it was the firing and return device or the gas guide device, all used special materials that he had never heard of!

Even one of the firing pins, a spring, and a rubber ring, its performance far exceeds that of conventional firearms on the market.

High-quality materials naturally bring stronger performance to this gun, coupled with Van Oka's excellent sniping skills...

This makes this sniper rifle burst out with amazing power.

In order to make a more powerful and more suitable weapon for himself, Usopp retrieved the data of these materials and sent them all to Wapol.

Now the lonely former king seems to have realized his current situation.

In order to suffer less, he gradually cooperated with Usopp's work.

Anyway, as a special talent, he is still the one who is taken care of even in the inner world of Lab.

Except for the restriction of freedom, his life is not much different from the past.

What's more, Usopp told him...

As long as he cooperates obediently and makes him satisfied, he can even go out for fun every once in a while in the future.

Although it is under the surveillance of bomber Jem and light and heavy man Mitchita.

Under the personal guidance of Red, Usopp is getting closer and closer to the day when he is hung on the street lamp~

...

At the same time

On the other side, in a desolate desert relatively far from where the Merry was docked, a huge ship was sailing freely in the endless desert just like it was on the sea.

On the boat, a big guy with an umbrella on his head bowed down with a flattering look on his face.

"That..."

"Ms. Nami, although I am very grateful for the water and food you brought, we have been in this desert for almost a day..."

"Are you sure we want to continue walking?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Nami, wearing Alabasta-style sun protection clothing, sat on the seat that should have belonged to the captain of this ship, knocking on the armrest of the seat with the weather stick in her hand, and said indignantly:

"I have already paid you!"

"Or do you want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted again!?"

"No, no, no..." The big guy, the captain of the Barubalusa Bandit Group, waved his hands to refuse.

They were originally a group of sand bandits wandering in the wilderness desert. Because of the lack of water and food, they kept looking for opportunities to survive in the desert.

And just two days ago, the little girl named Nami suddenly appeared in front of their ship.

Along with it, there was a huge sand scorpion that suddenly emerged from the desert!

Just when they thought that the poor girl was about to be attacked by the ferocious sand beast in the desert...

The girl in front of them suddenly waved the stick in her hand, and suddenly burst out a terrifying thunder that was enough to illuminate the entire desert, instantly roasting the sand scorpion to a charred state.

In this way, their Baru Baru Sand Pirates got food to survive, and promised the girl to temporarily lend her the ship to find something.

After seeing that Nami could create rain out of thin air and powerful combat power, they readily agreed to the deal proposed by Nami.

Immediately, they traveled in one direction for a day under Nami's command.

However, just yesterday evening, Nami suddenly proposed to change the direction of sailing and return to the direction they came from.

Although the Baru Baru Sand Pirates finally did as Nami asked, after a day and a night of non-stop travel...

They were already exhausted.

Sailing in the desert is not as smooth as sailing on the sea.

Not only do they have to master the skill of controlling the sail, but they also have to use the ancient human method to make the boat jump up the high slope when passing through one sand slope after another.

So far, the entire Baru Baru Sand Pirates Group has exhausted dozens of sand thieves.

At this moment, a figure with neat movements suddenly fell from the sky, and after spinning several circles in the air, it landed accurately in front of Nami.

It was the only woman in the Baru Baru Sand Pirates Group and the second in command of the entire Sand Pirates Group-Lasha!

Facing Nami, who was slightly shining with electricity on her body, she immediately stood in front of Baru Baru and explained:

"Miss Nami, please don't misunderstand!"

"You brought us enough water and food, of course we will take you to wherever you want to go according to your request!"

"But you should at least tell us what you are looking for!?"

"In this way, the rest of us can help you to avoid you accidentally missing what you want to find."

"Please rest assured, we are definitely not the kind of guys who are greedy for money!"

Lasha kindly suggested.

After all, there is strength in numbers.

Moreover, it is not something that one person can do to find something in the vast desert.

However, after hearing what Lasha said, Nami just shook her head slightly, and then gave an answer that shocked the sand bandits.

"Hehe~ It's not that I don't trust you."

"It's just that even I don't know what I'm looking for."

Although that was the case, when Nami looked up, her eyes flashed with strong expectations.

It was as if she had seen a lot of treasures appear in front of her.

Nami continued: "But you can rest assured!"

"I can feel... that target is getting closer and closer to us!"

"It won't be long before I can find the one that covers my last characteristic perception and feels more strongly..."

"Treasure!!!"

Thank you for your monthly ticket support! ! !

There will be more later~

It will be a little later!
