Chapter 233: The First Killing of the Lingling Fruit, the Three-Year-Old of the Orlan Family
Tibbers, the personal companion of Anne Hastur, the daughter of darkness, looks like an ordinary stuffed bear, but is actually her most powerful companion and a playmate who never leaves her side.
And this Tibbers is just a creation of Hex. Although the genuine Hex core has been used up, the new energy core made by Blitzcrank and Oran is enough to meet this ordinary consumption.
"Kuma? Kumaai!"
Looking at the little bear, Perona quickly gave it a name. According to the original timeline, Perona should have been adopted by Moria if Moria had not been amputated.
At that time, Perona’s first pet bear was Kumaai (A), and later there was an ordinary bear doll Kuma B. The zombie Kumasi (C) created by Moria was already the third bear. Three generations.
At this time, this mechanical bear imitating Timos has become the new Kumaai.
"So this teddy bear is actually a weapon?"
"Of course, come to Perona, press the switch at the back and throw it out."
"switch."
Perona looked at Kumaai's back in confusion, pressed it and threw the doll forward.
"roar!!"
The small stuffed bear suddenly expanded into a two-meter-tall mechanical bear.
Although the Hex Crystal has not been reproduced, Blitzcrank has developed new materials with various functions during this period. Kumaai's material is a variant of memory alloy, which can show another appearance after being charged. .
"Let the enemy be decadent and passive first, and then let the technological products attack. The tactics are good, but when facing the natural system."
"Look at this."
Olan put on a pair of gloves. As Olan raised his hands, Kumaai also moved. From the fragments inlaid on its palms, it was not difficult to tell that those were sea tower stones.
"I have a device here that can control Kumaai's movements. If you wear these glasses, you can also achieve visual synchronization. You can see how you do it."
"Thank you, you are really thoughtful. But if I guess correctly, this thing is also a laboratory product."
Seeing that Olan pressed Kumaai twice and turned it back into a teddy bear, Zefa expressed his judgment.
"That's right, the materials and craftsmanship are very special, and they can't be put on the assembly line for the time being."
There is no need to consider the cost of special equipment for your own use, you only need to refer to the performance. So much money is spent every year just to do these things.
However, the cost-effectiveness of the equipment sold outside must be considered, and the same goes for the weapons equipped by the navy. Zefa knew that Olan had a lot of good things, but the cost of that thing was simply unacceptable to the navy.
"When are you going to start? Now?"
Oran picked up Perona and then asked Zefa about her plans.
"With this plan, we can just give them some assault missions."
"You are really a devil instructor."
"Pirates don't care if they are on vacation, but I'm not a devil. Let them relax for a few more minutes while I get familiar with how to operate the mechanical bear remotely.
Speaking of which, is this little guy really okay? "
Perona's previous ability really shocked Zefa, but he was unprepared after all, and he took the initiative to accept the passive ghost's attack according to Oran's wishes.
"Don't worry, you know your students best. If Riley stands in front of them, they might really be wary, but Perona is different."
Leliana's size is enough to intimidate some people, but Perona is now harmless to humans and animals. At this time, she is sitting on Oran's lap and licking a piece of chocolate, as cute as a doll.
"If you think this sneak attack method is difficult and requires someone to fight him head-on, I also have a suitable candidate here. Do you want me to call him over in advance?"
Oran was referring to Absalom. Absalom's lack of domineering power was due to comparison with Leliana and the others. Compared with normal people, Absalom was still qualified.
The physical strength enhancement of the animalization potion and the transparent fruit also have the threat of killing at first sight. It is not difficult to deal with a boy who has eaten the natural type.
"Won't it cause you any trouble?"
"No, it just so happens that he has been exercising recently, so he can also test the results of his exercise. Abu, please pause your practice for a while and come to my place."
As he said that, Olan took out his phone and called Absalom, who happened to be the same age as Smoker this year.
But Leliana arrived here earlier than Absalom. Seeing Perona sitting in Oran's arms, she even missed the past time a little.
When she was still young and her body was not developing rapidly, Olan also brought her up in this way, but as the size gap increased, the roles of both parties have been reversed.
The current situation can only be Leliana letting Oran sit on her shoulders.
"Is it time to fight for the first time at the age of three? I seemed to be like this back then."
"Well, Quinn was pretty badly thrown by you at that time."
Leliana didn't find it strange to hear that Oran planned to let Perona go directly to fight. This was considered normal in her family.
Back then, Quinn was careless and was thrown from his back by Leliana. He lay on the ground for a long time before he accepted the reality.
Of course, the carelessness is Quinn's own opinion. Whether he was careless or not is not clear to others.
In the end, Leliana even took Perona away from Oran, intending to teach her some of her combat experience.
"The sisters have a very harmonious relationship."
"Of course, Riley is very sensible, and Perona was originally brought back by her."
"I see, adopted orphans? I was wondering why you suddenly have a new daughter."
There is an age difference between Riliana and Perona, and Riliana is not jealous of the little girl she brought back.
The increase in the number of family members does not mean that Orlan pays less attention to Riliana, and she has always received the most.
The conflicts between young siblings are inseparable from their parents. Excessive attention to younger individuals can easily make the older ones unbalanced.
It is inevitable to pay more attention to younger children, but you can't let older children feel that this attention is taken away from them.
It's actually okay to have such an age difference. If there are twins, buying them two things with different details will be hell.
"By the way, Orlan, that Yeklik really wants to experience driving that giant mecha. I heard that there was a lottery on your island, but he didn't win. See."
"It's not a big deal. The activities on the day of Evolution cannot be changed, but I have been operating the mecha to patrol the outer sea these days. If you are interested, it's okay to go with me."
"That's really troublesome. Let me see what this brat is doing now. It's time to put some pressure on him."
During the chat, Zefa also roughly familiarized himself with how to operate Kuma Ai, so he took out the Den Den Mushi.
"Yeklik, who are you with now?"
"Smoker and Tina, what's wrong, father, is there something wrong?"
"Student Yeklik, urgent mission, I need the three of you to rush to the royal city of this country before sunset."
Zefar changed his tone, from casual just now to extremely formal.
"Yes! Instructor Zefa!"
Zefar's attitude made Yeklik understand something. I don't know what his father is doing again. He wants to do extra training at the last minute.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the past, he could only say that he was used to it.
"Let's go, our vacation is going to be ruined."
"Tina is unhappy, Instructor Zefa is really a bummer."
"No way, I think he is polite enough to wait for us to finish lunch, let's go, this place is not close to the Royal City."
"Who of you has money? Tina forgot to bring money."
"I didn't bring much, I just spent it all on the meal. Smoker, how about you?"
At the tram station, the three were facing a fatal problem, no money to take the bus.
"This. I."
"Tina knows you have money, don't be so stingy. Could it be that you"
"The cigars here are of good quality."
Looking at the gift bag in Smoker's hand, Tina suddenly realized something. Although he was only fourteen years old this year, Smoker was already an old smoker and had a preference for cigars.
This stuff is much more expensive than regular tobacco, and has a greater impact. According to Smoker's way of smoking cigars through his lungs, if he didn't have the smoke fruit, he might not live to adulthood.
Those cigars have even been opened, and they can't be returned.
"What should we do? Should we run there? Tina thinks this is unrealistic"
"You are right, it is too far from here to the royal city to run, and father can't just ask us to gather, there must be other tests."
"Or. Take a ride, and come back to give money when we get there?"
"No, I don't want to be detained by the guards here halfway! Tina, I have to trouble you."
Thinking of Leliana taking some of the fences made by Tina before, Yeklik had an idea.
In the end, they successfully boarded the train, but the ticket money was exchanged by "selling scraps".
Yeklik successfully exchanged the black metal fence for the ticket at a nearby recycling station, which solved the problem of capital deficit.
"Report to Instructor Zefa! We have arrived outside the royal city, but how do we get in?"
"Rest where you are, I will pick you up soon."
Soon, the gate of the royal city opened, Zefa motioned for several people to follow him in, and then took them directly to the martial arts field in the royal city.
"Don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary temporary assessment. The content of your random test today is very simple, just let her admit defeat."
"Instructor Zefa, are you kidding?"
Looking at a little girl holding a teddy bear in one hand and a lollipop in the other, Smoker felt that Zefa was playing with them.
After all, this kind of opponent should not be used.
"I never joke at this time. Don't underestimate any enemy. I have taught you this. Or you can choose to admit defeat directly and accept the punishment of Devil Week."
There are only two kinds of punishments in Zefa's training camp, extra training and expulsion, and the so-called Devil Week is a very terrifying amount of training.
Zefal will tailor it according to each person's physical condition, so that they are at the limit of their body within a week.
In a sense, this is even a reward. For the navy, becoming stronger is also crucial.
"Now, the competition begins, Smoker, you go first."
"Yes."
Zefa's orders have come down. Although Smoker is a little dissatisfied, he still chooses to follow them, but he has no intention of taking action.
"Little sister, admit defeat. I don't want to scare you."
Whoosh~
A ghost with a smiling face drilled out from the ground and passed through Smoker's body out of thin air.
"What is that?"
Plop.
The negative ghost released by the Spirit Fruit has no physical damage, so it cannot trigger the passive effect of the Smoke Fruit's elementalization. When the ghost left his body, Smoker suddenly felt very negative inside and knelt on the ground.
"I am a rubbish who smokes and pollutes the air every day. It's too much to live here and pollute other people's air."
"Smoker!"
"Catch him! Kumaai!"
When Smoker knelt on the ground and doubted his life, Perona had already thrown the teddy bear in his hand.
She was not strong enough, and Kumaai only rolled on the ground a few times, but still completed the transformation into a combat form.
The negative ghost's hard control of Smoker lasted even longer. After all, his mind was not mature yet. After being affected by the negative ghost, this kind of child would even continue to be negative without external interference.
This is also the reason why Perona was regarded as the source of the curse in her hometown.
Kumaai's bear paw pressed on Smoker's back. The inlaid seastone fragments not only made Smoker lose the ability to elementalize, but also made him weak all over and unable to break free.
Zefa didn't even remotely control it, and Kumaai had already completed the attack on Smoker. The Spiritual Fruit was too invincible in the first kill.
Smoker hadn't developed resistance to seastone at this age, so he was defeated in one blow.
"I won, good."
Perona didn't think too much, she just felt that she won the game.
Leliana's special training for her certainly didn't let her swing her fists, that was too early.
What she taught, in summary, was to take advantage of your own advantages.
The opponent would feel that the little girl was not a threat, so take advantage of this and further let the opponent relax his vigilance.
Arrange the battle environment in advance, and hidden traps can make the battle smoother.
The most important point is not to talk nonsense with the opponent.
Mouth cannon is a move that only powerful people can use. Since your own hard power is at a disadvantage, just attack directly when the enemy is talking.
If this is not a competition but a real battle, Leliana will have to teach the importance of finishing off the enemy.
"See, Smoker? This is the consequence of carelessness. There are countless devil fruit abilities in this sea, and the natural system has never been invincible.
Even a three-year-old girl can defeat you with her own abilities.
This is a training ground, you can repeat it endlessly, but on the battlefield, you only have one life."
