When Luo Jie and "Monet" flew over Fire Island again, the "Teabeard Pirates" that had fled madly before had been basically wiped out, except for a few people including the leader "Teabeard Chatoros"
I barely swam across the warm water lake at the intersection of the two islands of ice and fire, and I was barely out of the danger zone.
Although there is no longer any living creature within the range, the huge body of "Slime" still continues to crawl toward Iceland unswervingly, as if there is something there that is attracting it.
"I advise you to give up on the girl named "Bonnie". This monster cannot be killed."
Out of some unknown state of mind, "Monet" unexpectedly issued a kind reminder from Luo Jie's perspective.
Luo Jie smiled: "I know, but I have to save her."
"Why? Is she your woman?"
"No, she is just my partner...Every partner on the ship is important to me."
"Monet" turned around in confusion. It seemed difficult to understand Luo Jie's choice based on the ideas she had been instilled in her since childhood.
“Is it more important than the dream you’ve been pursuing your whole life?”
The topic of dreams may be ridiculed in the real world, but in the world of "One Piece", it is something that shines deeply in everyone's heart.
Luo Jie thought for a while and replied seriously: "It is my dream to live happily with my partner forever."
"Monet" was startled.
"So...this is the reason why you sleep with all your partners as your women?"
"Hey, forget it if you're not moved. What's going on with this strange brain circuit..."
…
Avoiding the jet of gelatinous slime, "Monet" dived and threw the ring towards the huge purple-red monster below.
Luo Jie's head and feet were falling rapidly, turning his body and giving a thumbs up to "Monet" in the sky with a smile.
"Won't you send me a blessing for victory?"
"You bastard, go to hell!"
As he spoke, Luo Jie's figure had already fallen above the head of "Slime", and through the translucent gelatinous skin, the rocks, bricks and other debris floating inside the liquid could be vaguely seen.
He swung his right palm down without hesitation, and the jelly-like purple-red skin collapsed downwards under the violent impact, creating a huge deep pit, and instantly rebounded to create ripples.
——"There is no boxing, there is no discrimination without teaching"!
Just as Luo Jie expected, "Slime's" physical damage immunity is a characteristic rather than a rule. Although this palm did not cause any damage, its flowing semi-mucilage form could no longer divide freely, and it appeared for the first time.
It shows the extremely clear morphology of the animal family axolotl.
It is also commonly known as the hexagonal dinosaur form.
With the low intelligence of "Slime", it was natural that he could not understand the changes in his body. After being unable to continue spraying split bodies to attack, he simply opened his huge mouth that could swallow any large sailboat, raised his head and looked at Luo Jie fiercely above.
Bite hard.
The "Cloud-turning Style" was running rapidly in Luo Jie's body, and the billowing thick fog instantly filled the huge mouth in front of him like an abyss.
——"Gangyun"!
No matter how powerful the bite of "Slime" is, it cannot close its mouth when it is fully opened to the limit. It is like someone has forcefully stuffed a stone that is exactly the same size as the mouth. It cannot swallow it or spit it out.
Unable to spit it out, he shook his head desperately in a hurry, and his tail whipped wildly, sending rocks flying everywhere.
"Monet! Take me up!"
It's not that Luo Jie can't fly on his own, but as mentioned before, he needs "Monet" to obey him absolutely.
The bird girl "Monet" who had been hovering in the sky swooped down, clasped Luo Jie's shoulders with her claws, and fluttered her wings straight into the sky a hundred meters high.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Luo Jie's right arm became more and more swollen under the continuous accumulation of force, and knotted blue veins sprouted from half of his body.
As the sharp claws on his shoulders came loose, his body fell rapidly again, and the fist wrapped with "Armed Haki" suddenly shot downwards, and instantly increased dozens of times in size due to the expansion of "Shadow Revolution".
From a distance, it looks like a huge black meteorite falling from the sky.
——"Buqi Fist·Strange Power and Chaos God"!
boom--!!
Amidst the ripples that caused the air to be squeezed and exploded, the huge hill-like head of "Slime" hit the ground hard, and most of its chin was deeply embedded in the earth below. The terrifying aftermath spread to a kilometer.
In Iceland outside, violent avalanches occurred on several surrounding peaks.
The purple-red giant staggered and propped up its body, but its head was weakly pressed against the ground, which was very different from its previous violent appearance.
Although it is just a ball of poisonous gas given a false life by the Devil Fruit and has no real brain or organs, it still cannot escape the "dizziness" and "chaos" effects forced by the skill.
——"Don't use fists, don't do anything that's not polite"!
Dozens of black cloud ropes instantly tied up the giant beast that was lying on the ground shaking its head. Luo Jie pulled out the [Netherworld Flower Burial] from the storage space, and the tip of the knife dragged out a series of sparks on the ground, clinging to "
The outline of the slime's body, which was nearly 200 meters long, ran at full speed without any hesitation and cut it to the end.
——"Kagekiri"!
This is one of the most basic abilities of [Shadow Fruit]. It can peel off the shadow of any living organism when the target is completely controlled. The original "Moonlight Moria" used this move to create a thousand-man army.
The shadow army.
This trick is actually very useless. The cut shadow cannot be saved for a long time and can only be placed in the corpse to create zombies.
But looking at it from another angle, this move also has a very unnatural characteristic - rule killing.
As long as a creature stripped of its shadow is exposed to sunlight, it will turn into ashes regardless of any resistance. Not to mention its regeneration ability, even his "Death Recast" is useless.
If it weren't for "Monet"'s previous words, "This monster can't be killed," Luo Jie might not have been able to think of this bench skill with demanding activation conditions.
The stripped shadow twisted desperately in Luo Jie's hand, trying to escape back to the body but still unable to break away from the seemingly indifferent grasp of the five fingers.
The "Slime" that had just woken up from the dizzy state instantly ignited a temperatureless blue flame under the sunlight, and its huge body was completely burned into a faint white flame in just tens of seconds.
cigarette.
[You killed "Slime" and received 300,000 points. 】
[It is detected that "Slime" possesses "Devil Fruit, Salamander Fruit, and Axolotl Form". Do you want to draw? The remaining number of draws is 1/3. 】
…
"...really killed?"
The bird girl "Monet" hovering in the sky couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and her heart was shocked beyond measure.
She knew only too well how difficult that poisonous gas monster was.
Two years ago, when Admiral "Akainu" and "Aoji" came here for a duel, they were attacked by "Slime". After "Akainu" attacked "Slime", its clone exploded and appeared in the warm water lake in the center of the island.
After reaching the lake bed, he did not dare to act rashly. In the end, "Ao Pheasant" had to take action to freeze it completely, allowing the duel between the two to continue.
But compared to the shock of killing "Slime", she was more concerned about the other party's unthinking reaction when saving people.
——Every partner on board is very important to me.
She has been following the young master "Doflamingo" since she was a teenager. She always thought that "partner" and "subordinate" were just different names in external terms. However, for some reason, at this moment, it was actually the person below who took away
I have touched my precious and pure man, and I have vaguely realized the subtle difference between these two words.
"If it were me, the young master would have come to save me without thinking... right?"
"Monet" murmured to himself subconsciously, but a certain firm belief in his heart was shaken unconsciously.
…
Extract?
What's there to extract from a [Salamander Fruit]? Even dogs won't eat this thing if it's thrown into a safe space.
After all, in terms of population ratio, Brother Curry accounts for nearly a quarter of the total number of players. Turning into a lizard man is simply asking for shit...
As the huge hill-like body of "Slime" dissipated into a plume of white smoke, the swallowed "Big Stomach Girl Bonny" also fell from the air.
Luo Jie jumped up and held her in his arms. After landing firmly, he looked carefully and found that she had closed her breath and was in a state of suspended animation.
However, judging from his normal expression, he did not inhale any poisonous gas.
"Monet, can you give artificial respiration?" "Luo Jie" turned to "Monet" who was slowly landing next to him and asked.
"Can you be such a gentleman?"
"Monet" is a little bit defensive. I really can't understand that a guy who is so crazy and crazy that he steals real money from people on the battlefield would actually consider avoiding suspicion when he is rescuing people like this?
"I have always been a gentleman, but only my partners can see this hidden side."
Well, Luo Jie admitted that he was afraid of hearing a "ding" sound while giving artificial respiration to "Bonnie".
Full marks for this pretense, at least "Monet" really believed it.
She glanced at Luo Jie with complicated eyes, stretched out her wings to take "Bonnie" and started to rescue her.
Not long after, "Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" faintly woke up and saw the unfamiliar "Monet" in front of her, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"It's too late to explain, let's go meet the others."
While talking, Luo Jie took out [Flying Sword Lucifer] from the storage space. "Bonnie" grabbed Luo Jie's hand without hesitation and jumped on the flying sword.
"Monet" stared with wide eyes as the black giant sword suspended in the air broke through the defense again.
"Asshole! You know you can fly and you still want to ride me?!"
Luo Jie dug his ears and turned away, pretending not to hear anything.
After flying back and forth with people for several times, "Monet" was also tired. He sat on the [Flying Sword Lucifer] full of energy, completely wrapped his body with his wings, and awkwardly stopped talking to Luo Jie.
Luo Jie was about to immediately go to reinforce "Boya Hancock", but found that on the display of [World Encyclopedia Longo Longo], the red dot representing "Boya Hancock" had been separated from Iceland at some point.
"Red Silk" and others on one side gathered together and were approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
Not long after, the bright red figure was seen again in the pure white of the flying snow at the end of the field of vision.
Luo Jie jumped off the flying sword and let the flying "Boya Hancock" fall into his arms.
"Husband, I knew you would be fine!"
Luo Jie hugged "Boya Hancock" and spun her around to remove the somewhat exaggerated impact before placing her on the ground.
"How are you doing there, Hancock?"
Luo Jie looked her up and down. The previous battle with "Luo" didn't seem to have caused any harm to her, except that there were a little more wrinkles and dust on the red skirt.
"That doctor boy's ability is very difficult, but he is not my opponent yet. He just stopped fighting halfway through, so I and him can't tell the winner."
"Boya Hancock"'s gaze lingered on "Monet" for a while, as if he was a little curious about the pair of wings and claws, but he didn't ask anything, as if he was completely accustomed to it.
At this moment, a circular air door suddenly opened in front of everyone. A slightly embarrassed "Kalifa" and "Karina" jumped out of it and sat down on the snow, gasping for breath.
Rough.
"What an unlucky thing! I didn't encounter any danger while stealing fruits in the underground research institute, but I was hit by an avalanche just after I came out. If "Kalifa" hadn't reacted quickly, I would have ended up here today..."
Well……
"Monet" gave Luo Jie a meaningful look, and the culprit who caused the avalanche once again pretended not to hear "Little Fox Karina"'s complaints.
"It's good that everyone is fine. Did you get your stuff?"
"Karina" took out a strange fruit from the shoulder bag on her waist that had no uneven moire on the surface, only a smooth circle pattern, and threw it to Luo Jie.
Introduction: A replica of the Devil Fruit of the same name, created by the world's number one scientist "Vegapunk". Except for the pink color, the other performance indicators are exactly the same as the original.
That's right, this is it.
This thing was quite valuable in the previous life. Although there is no record of sale, the market valuation given at that time was almost 20 million points.
Of course, Luo Jie personally thinks that this estimate is still a bit exaggerated. After all, it does not mean that eating this [Fish Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Blue Dragon Form] will turn him into "Hundred Beasts·Kaido". It is more likely to be
"Kōzuki Momonosuke" is that useless bastard.
However, this fruit has the strongest image endorsement on earth, and it has high potential and good sales. There are still many wealthy people who are not short of money and are willing to accept this brand premium.
"With everything in hand, we can leave here."
With that said, Luo Jie threw the "Beiming Youyu" from the storage space. The huge hull fell into the warm water lake on the dividing line between the two islands, splashing waves tens of meters high.
"What? Could it be that... you came here just for this artificial fruit?"
"Monet" has been an undercover agent next to "Caesar Courant" for many years, so he naturally recognizes this artificial devil fruit that is said to be a "failure".
Luo Jie looked matter-of-fact: "Yes, otherwise besides the barren mountains and the poisonous gas, what else is there for me to worry about?"
Plop!
"Monet" knelt on the snow in a frustrated posture, with an expression on his face that made him want to cry.
If I had known that this guy came here for this useless artificial fruit, why would I have just given it to him? Why on earth was he working so hard for? Not to mention giving away blood in vain, and now he has even lost his personal freedom...
People boarded the ship one after another. After all, "Bonnie" was rescued by "Monet". She couldn't bear to look at the green-haired beauty who was kneeling on the snow and lost her soul. She touched Luo Jie's arm and said: "Brother Nightmare, she
...are you still on board?”
"Bring it on."
Luo Jie knew the final fate of "Monet" in the original work. The girl's nature was not bad, but she was entrusted to an inhumane person. After all, he still couldn't watch her die alone and desperately deep underground without being indifferent.
"She's a partner?"
"No, it's a mount."
"In every sense of the word?"
Luo Jie unexpectedly looked at "Boni" with cunning eyes, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead.
"Bonnie, don't play with Arrita anymore, you've learned a lot."
"Bonnie" shrunk and suddenly transformed into a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. She made a face at Luo Jie and ran away with a smile.
…
At the same time, the monitoring room of the underground research institute.
"Caesar Courant" stared dumbly at the white ship on the screen that was setting sail and gradually leaving the "Bank restricted area" waters. His hands trembling with anger spilled the coffee in the cup all over his body.
——Is this "Night Dire" here to travel? Even if he kills my research results, what does it mean to kidnap my secretary?
