Tiantian frowned, seeming to remember the fruit he had eaten, with a look of disgust on his face.
"That's it."
Cheng Jie walked up to Tiantian, patted her delicate shoulders gently, and sighed: "You just ate a devil fruit, you are not a monster at all."
"Ah... thank you, but after so many years I have~"
"Oh, you silly girl, don't you know how to swim, and if you touch this thing, you will lose all your strength?"
Cheng Jie raised his wrist, pointed at the sea-floor stone handcuffs, and looked directly at Tiantian with firm eyes.
"this--"
Tiantian didn't seem to expect that Cheng Jie would say this, and opened his mouth slightly, looking very surprised.
Cheng Jie was not surprised at all, although there was a possibility that Tianzhen was really a so-called monster. After all, the sea is always full of strange things, and it would not be surprising to encounter any strange things.
But Cheng Jie was so sure that Tiantian was just a person with abilities who ate the devil fruit. He also came to the conclusion from observation, because in addition to eating an unpalatable fruit, he was keenly aware of it when Tiantian hugged her and ran away.
, she deliberately avoided the handcuffs on her wrists.
"Kaka~"
Cheng Jie shook the handcuffs, sighed, shook his head, glanced around at the quiet and peaceful woods, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said softly: "Actually, I am more like you, but because of these handcuffs, I still
Afraid of them?"
"Ah~ you~ are you telling the truth?"
When Tiantian heard Cheng Jie's words, his face lit up and he quickly grabbed his arm.
"Hey, hey~"
Cheng Jie looked at Tiantian who suddenly showed a look of joy and couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I even said that I couldn't do anything and exerted too much power. Why are you still so gloating about your misfortune!"
"Ah! I'm sorry, I just..."
"Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it."
Cheng Jie looked at Tiantian's anxious look and gave up. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and asked: "I didn't see your ability clearly just now. Can you change it and let me see it?"
"Um!"
Tiantian nodded and took off the big black robe he was wearing.
Suddenly, Tiantian's body flashed with light, and a circle of air floated around him.
The cute and cute face turned into a mysterious dark blue light and black lines, which were interlaced and orderly to form a cat face with a strange and mysterious beauty, with a pair of erect triangular cat ears on the top of the head.
The originally slender and white arms instantly turned into black lines and blue lights, and the slender fingers turned into five slightly curved, pure black claws with cold light! Two blue flames and black lines on the back of the buttocks, gently
Waving its tail, it looks extremely cute.
"Is it an animal fruit? It seems to have some impression?"
Cheng Jie clicked his tongue and looked up and down at Tiantian. The strange cat-eared girl she transformed into felt a little familiar.
"That's right! I've seen it in the devil fruit illustrated book. It should be the animal type of devil fruit, the phantom beast type - the two-tailed cat hate form!"
Cheng Jie began to think deeply, and the recent memories were quickly filtered through his mind, and finally he understood the origin of his feeling of familiarity.
That was what Cheng Jie had snatched from that G8 fortress. The devil fruit of the phantom species recorded in the devil fruit illustrated book was, after all, a rarer fruit than the natural one. He couldn't help but read it carefully several times and memorize it.
Description of the shape of this fruit's ability to transform, but I didn't expect to meet the owner of this fruit so quickly!
"What two-tailed cat resentment form?"
Tiantian, on the other hand, tilted his head and was very puzzled when he heard Cheng Jie talking to himself.
"It's just your ability. I didn't expect it to be rarer than the natural type, the animal type phantom beast species. You are so lucky!"
Cheng Jie sighed, and then remembered that he was tied to the stone platform just now, and asked: "What happened just now? Why did those residents tie me to that platform? It seemed like they wanted to sacrifice me to that platform.
someone."
"This~"
After Tiantian heard Cheng Jie's explanation and realized that he was not a monster, he kept smiling. But when he heard Cheng Jie's question, his happy smile dimmed. After half a minute, he said: "That's it.
Didn't I tell you before? After those fish monsters attacked the residents, the people in the town were afraid to go fishing.
After that, more than half a year later, a strange fish monster that looked like a seahorse, seemed to be the leader of the fish monsters, talked with the mayor of the town, and built the stone platform.
And by offering a sacrifice every two months, it will prevent fish monsters from attacking the residents."
"You mean they use people as sacrifices?! That high priest of Creon is the mayor?"
When Cheng Jie heard what Tiantian said, he immediately understood and remembered what he was doing outside the house last night.
, I heard Batu and Yuna also talking about sacrifices, and their tone was very worried, probably because it was their family's turn to sacrifice this time.
When he thought of himself being brought to the door and being arrested and tied to the altar, Cheng Jie felt a burst of anger in his heart. It was simply unbearable!
"So since humans are used as sacrifices, does the monster want to eat humans?"
"No, that seahorse monster is not a cannibal. None of the sacrifices in the past have been eaten. It's just that many of the sacrifices died with frightened faces, while those who didn't die became crazy!
"If you're crazy, does that mean you're insane?"
Cheng Jie also understood at this time what Cleon meant before, if you are lucky, you will not die. A fierce light flashed in his eyes and he said in a deep voice: "The residents did not resist?"
"Of course some people resisted, but those who resisted were defeated by the seahorse fish monster and became sacrifices. Even my parents..."
Tiantian lowered his eyelids and paused with a hint of crying in his voice.
"You~"
Cheng Jie looked at Tiantian with his head down and about to cry, sad and silent, and didn't know how to comfort him. He opened his mouth and stopped in shock.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
"It's okay, it's all my fault for bringing up your sadness."
Cheng Jie interrupted Tiantian's words, looked at the surrounding woods, touched his nose and said: "It doesn't seem to be a good idea to talk here. Why don't we go back to the cabin first."
"Oh well."
Because Cheng Jie didn't know the road at all, he followed Tiantian and walked around in the woods. It took a while before he saw the small wooden house.
"Crack~"
Pushing open the cabin, Cheng Jie walked in and saw a variety of fruits scattered on the straw mat. He couldn't help but was stunned. He scratched the back of his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't wait."
You came back, ran out, and got caught."
"Ah! It's okay. You should blame me for being too slow."
Tiantian shook his little head quickly to signal Cheng Jie not to take it to heart, and then said in surprise: "Eat the fruit first, and I'll help you prepare some meat."
"Hmm~ Actually no..."
Seeing Feng Feng Huo Huo, Tian Tian quickly ran out before he could finish his words, Cheng Jie couldn't help but be stunned, and smiled softly: "She is really a cute little girl!"
