I Have No Interest In Devil Fruit

[Chapter Header Series · Heart Pirates 14 · "Stay, or board the ship together, it's up to you to decide. 』]

[Behind him is the cry of a girl crying like blood. Luo Momo smokes a cigarette and does not speak. Corazon next to him is stepping on the side of the boat, looking back at the crying girl, and telling her that I will not ask you to follow her. Those who don't follow... You should occasionally make your own judgment whether to board this ship or not! ]——

Seeing that the two of them were Qiwuhai reappeared, the psychic grandma was a little surprised, but what surprised her even more was what Kujo Xu Lun said next:

"We want to deal with the lord, some kind of animal-type 'black dragon' ability user of his, right?"

Ayu was also stunned when she heard the words, and the psychic grandmother said in a daze: "That's right, he is in the form of a fish-fish fruit, a phantom beast, and a black dragon... You are the Qiwuhai under the king, and you are from the world government. Why? To deal with him?"

Robin glanced at Lynch who was next to him with his arms folded. Seeing that he didn't intend to say anything more, he thought about it and said, "Because his beard is ugly."

The psychic grandma and Ayu couldn't help but a question mark slowly appeared on the top of their heads.

Robin said slowly: "You seem to know a lot of things, such as the Humble Bamboo League who fought against the black dragon, the descendants of the Flower Burial Valley, and some assassins."

Her eyes moved between the psychic grandma and Ayu, "Can you tell us this? If I'm not wrong, you were once a member of the fight against the black dragon..."

The psychic grandma was silent. Ayu pursed her lips and lowered her head, suddenly said: "Ever since I was born, they told me..."

"Ayu!" the psychic grandmother shouted.

"Grandma, I don't think they are bad people..." Ayu raised his head, looked at Lynch and Robin, his teary eyes were slightly red, "I don't want to be the last royal blood, I just want to live with grandma ...Although sometimes I can't get enough to eat, but..."

Her thin body trembled, and she held her head in fear.

"Don't be so nervous..." Lynch said suddenly, "Grandma. Didn't she say that we are not bad people?"

The psychic grandma let go of her clenched hands, took the trembling Ayu into her arms, gently stroked her slender back, and sighed deeply: "Ayu used to be very optimistic, strong, and cheerful...until she was four years old. One day, I accidentally ate a cursed devil fruit, and the 'Nightmare' frightened the child..." The old grandmother was full of pity and self-blame, and regretted telling the little girl about those things too early. By mistake, a little girl was almost completely destroyed.

At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind in the whole thatched hut, and dozens of phantoms suddenly appeared. They were piles of bones, rotting corpses pecked at by crows, mass graves full of corpses...

These phantoms are so real, as if you can reach out and touch them, those dead bodies, the horror of death, those white bones, chilly, those rotten pieces of meat, telling the terrible past...

The phantom came and went quickly, and it scattered quietly, and the thatched cottage was restored to its original state.

Robin was immersed in the shock. Was it this kind of horrible vision that the psychic grandma said that frightened Ayu?

Once a strong and cheerful four-year-old girl was accompanied by such nightmare hallucinations... What a chilling experience this must be.

"so……"

Robin knelt down, touched the head of the little girl trembling in the psychic grandma's arms, and said softly, "You play stupid because you don't want those people to discover your true identity. It's very strange for you to stare blankly at the sea." Do you want to escape from here, from the bloodline and 'nightmare' you carry?"

Ayu lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and said sullenly: "I'm a selfish coward, you can laugh at me now..."

"Yeah, it's quite ridiculous." Lynch said over there.

The psychic grandma squinted at him.

Ayu's head drooped even lower, Robin sighed softly, and held the little girl's cheeks.

In the latter's teary eyes and dodging eyes, Robin blinked, whispered, raised his fingers and smiled: "I used to be a selfish coward, but now he likes me the most... Shhh, listen to him."

Ayu looked up at Giorno...

Lynch stuck out his tongue and mocked, "What 'nightmare', it's just that you didn't grasp your phantom fruit well. It sounds so nice, cut it!"

Ayu was a little wronged, but more confused, "Phantom fruit?"

She knew that the "nightmare" that entangled her was because she had eaten some kind of devil fruit by mistake, but she didn't know what it was, and she never faced her own ability because of fear.

First of all, Ayu himself is very resistant to using abilities, let alone showing them off in front of outsiders.

Although the Kingdom of Flowers is not a closed country, the devil fruit is the secret treasure of the sea after all, and it is not a common thing. The psychic grandma has never read the devil fruit illustration book, so she actually has little understanding of Ayu's ability. The little girl never knew about those phantoms. It's all fear, and it's impossible for her to stimulate Ayu... Therefore, after several years, Ayu has basically never actively developed her own abilities, and she has no clear understanding of her own abilities.

Robin took the mask of "B.I.B", consulted the memory of the devil fruit illustration book, turned to the one of superman, and quickly locked on the introduction page of the phantom fruit.

She squatted down and pressed Ayu's thin shoulders. Ayu couldn't see the visor on her face, so she looked into her eyes and heard her slowly say: "Phantom fruit, a superman is a kind of devil fruit. Ability users can Present some things in the past history in the form of phantoms... However, it does not seem to be unlimited. Some phantom fruit ability users need to touch the image of the materialized thing, while some ability users only need to see it. That's fine, but the only thing in common is that the manifested phantoms don't last long and are not controlled by the capable person himself. They will act exactly like the original owner who was summoned, but unfortunately, the phantoms after all It's a phantom, it won't cause damage to the real world..."

The introduction on the illustration book is actually not so detailed. It was Robin who read it and explained it to the little girl in his own words, so that she could understand it more clearly.

Robin took the visor away, and the visor floated back to the "B.I.B" behind it, clicked back to its place, and calmly complained to the main body: "It's very similar to the ability of 'Ancient Scholar', 'summoning projections in the pores of history'... 』

This is a professional skill in the Lord of Mysteries novel. Lynch shook his head and said, "The prostitute projection comes to fight, but can't communicate with the projection. This seems to be the opposite. The light can scream and scare people, but it has no combat power."

In fact, this phantom fruit is the ability of the green-haired diva in the theatrical version of Fanatic Action, but Lynch wore it early, and he has never watched the new theatrical version. Record.

"..." After hearing what sister Xu Lun said, Ayu was a little stunned.

She looked at her hands, "So, those corpses are..."

"It should be the place you have been to, which stimulated you and caused you to lose control of your ability and present a phantom." Robin touched Ayu's head, "Just like before you showed the phantom of the black dragon because of fear... ..."

That was when Lynch and Robin first came to the Kingdom of Flowers. After they helped Xiangchun deal with the Blue Armored Dragon Banner Army, Ayu was stimulated, and a phantom of a black dragon flew out of his body.

"Try it, you should be able to create phantoms on your own initiative. As long as you can control them freely, they won't be anything to be afraid of." Robin said softly.

Long ago, she too had thought her Blossom Fruit was a curse, and she might indeed be some kind of imp, as the other children in the village laughed at. She first wanted to get in touch with history. On the one hand, it was because Dr. Clover and the others were the only ones who treated her well. She wanted to get close to them. On the other hand, she wanted to know whether she was a monster... Later, it was Sarah Uro told himself that this was just a devil fruit ability.

It's just a devil fruit ability, nothing to hate.

Ayu was a little hesitant, but under the encouraging eyes of sister Xu Lun, she took a deep breath, and after several attempts, she finally successfully released a phantom.

"Roar~~~!!!!"

A lifelike black dragon writhes in the small thatched hut. It is so huge that a thatched hut can't fit in it, but it is just a phantom after all, and it cannot destroy the thatched hut...

The black dragon roared and swam, its giant dark golden pupils were cold.

Ayu suppressed his fear, held Robin's sleeve tightly, looked up at the terrifying dragon shadow, and murmured: "I've never seen a black dragon... I've seen the lord from afar..."

Robin and Lynch also looked at the phantom of the black dragon. It seems that, as stated in the illustrated book, the phantom created by the phantom fruit ability user is not controlled by the ability user himself, but a corresponding object. Projection, what will this projection do, what reaction will it have, the probability depends on the projected object...

The black dragon tossed and groaned in the thatched hut, and finally opened its mouth to spit out, and the torrential flood gushed out...

……………………………

"Roar~~~!!!!"

In the water capital of the capital city, the residents suddenly heard a furious dragon chant coming from afar.

Countless people on the street raised their heads and looked towards the mountains deep in the capital, only to see a black dragon shadow soaring into the sky.

"It's the king..."

"His Majesty the Black Dragon..."

"The lord is angry..."

Many people knelt on the ground and prayed with their mouths.

...

Not too far from the capital of water, in the stronghold of the Eight Treasures Navy, the members of the navy who were practicing the Eight Punch Fist seemed to hear something and looked back one after another.

A Cai is fighting against the old man Qingjiao. After Qingjiao's awl head recovered, he has a strong fighting spirit, so he is used to train his head, which is called "strengthening and tempering my lovely little grandson."

Hearing a long whistle, Qingjiao and A Cai stopped their movements and looked towards the distant horizon.

"Is that... the direction of the capital of water?" Ah Cai's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he was uncertain.

Qingjiao was surprised: "The black dragon is angry? But...how is this possible?"

With the strength of the black dragon, he doesn't even pay attention to the assassins of the Humble Bamboo League, how could he be so furious?

What exactly happened?

"Will it have something to do with those two people..." On the top of the tallest building in the city wall, looking towards the direction of the water capital, Tian Jiu murmured to himself, "Qiorunuo, Kongtiao Xulun...or, could it be It's the Humble Bamboo League, is there anyone else?"

...

"The remnants of the Demon League, the wicked will never die!"

The black divine dragon churned in the clouds and mist above the water capital, letting out an angry dragon cry. In the streets and alleys of the capital below, countless people were crawling, respecting their lord as if they were gods.

The black dragon's head poked out of the thick cloud, looking at the densely packed ants, the anger in his heart was burning.

……………………………

"There seems to be a sound?"

While running, the headless monster suddenly said this.

They rushed all the way, and at this time they had already penetrated into a barren mountain.

Xiangchun was stunned for a moment, and after a careful look, he discovered that there were two beautiful women's ears inside the left and right collarbones of the headless monster...

Xing Tian turned his head... oh, no head... Headless Xing Tian slowed down, turned around and looked, "ventriloquism" came from under his clothes, "It seems to be the sound of a dragon..."

"Dragon Yin?"

Xiangchun withdrew his gaze and continued walking, "It seems that it has lost its temper..."

However, having said that, there was not much joy in her voice, but a little sorrow.

Xing Tian followed again, somewhat puzzled by Xiang Chun's reaction.

"You'll know soon...we'll tell you everything..." Xiangchun led Xing Tian across the mountains, and not long after, he stopped at a hidden cave, "Here we are, go in here."

After finishing speaking, Xiangchun pushed aside some vines hanging from the entrance of the cave, and dodged into the cave first.

That being the case, Robin didn't ask any further questions, and manipulated Xing Tian to follow Xiangchun and jump into the cave.

As the cave got deeper and deeper, the light gradually dimmed. Xiangchun, who was walking in front, took out a torch and ignited a flame, barely illuminating the way forward.

Xing Tian followed her in stride without saying a word, while silently constructing the route they had taken along the way in his mind.

This cave is not a straight line...

Moreover, after passing through several forks along the way, Xiangchun quickly made a turning entrance, and Robin didn't notice whether there were any marks on the mountain walls of those forks...

Following behind Xiangchun, Robin controlled Xingtian remotely, and through some subtle induction, he could clearly feel that Xingtian and Xiangchun were not only moving forward, but also walking underground.

It may already be more than a hundred meters underground...

Moreover, it is almost several kilometers away from the entrance of the cave...

Robin, who was distracted from manipulating Xing Tian, ​​was thinking this, when suddenly he heard Xiang Chun's voice in both ears of Xing Tian's collarbone:

"Arrived."

Xing Tian raised his head—oh, no head. Xing Tian straightened up, and Robin's flowery eyes on the left and right pectoral muscles saw that the front suddenly opened up, and the light was brighter. It was a cave.

On the surrounding stone walls, several candles were burning, barely illuminating the environment in the cave.

In the depths of the burrow, there were bursts of sound of iron chains, as well as women's scolding.

"Dead dumb, are you deaf? Let me go!"

"Xiangchun! Xiangyun! Two heartless things, how dare you treat me like this? How can you bear to treat me like this?!"

The scolding was hoarse, obviously it had been scolding for a long time.

...

Xiangchun at the front trembled, and walked towards the depths of the cave, Xing Tian raised his heels to follow.

Xiangchun smiled wryly, "Eldest sister..."

Xing Tian turned sideways, and saw a stone pillar in front of the stone wall at the end of the burrow, on which a middle-aged woman was bound with a thick chain.

In front of the woman who was tied to the stone pillar by iron chains was the short, mute old man who Robin had seen before.

Facing the woman's scolding, the mute lowered his head in frustration, until he heard Xiangchun's voice behind him, he suddenly raised his head, looked in disbelief, and saw that it was indeed Xiangchun who had returned, so his tears were clouded, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh "He kept shouting and making gestures.

The woman tied to the stone pillar had disheveled hair. When she saw Xiangchun, she glanced behind her, ignoring the headless monster, as if she was looking for someone...

"Where's Xiangyun?!" The woman hissed hoarsely.

"Sister..." Xiangchun said sadly, "You know, this is the only way."

Xianglian struggled, the iron chains on her body rattled, and she yelled, "Let me live alone? Are you two going to die? Two bastards!! Both are bastards, just like the bastard back then!" !!!”

Xiangchun wept and said: "We two are dead, how can you die, eldest sister. You raised me and Xiangyun like a sister like a mother, how could we let you die. And... elder sister, you are the strongest, and you The last true descendant of the Humble Bamboo League, only by letting you survive, eldest sister, can the last hope of the Humble Bamboo League be preserved..."

"Idiot! You bastard!" Xianglian cursed with tears, and cried with Xiangchun.

Xing Tian interrupted them, and suddenly said: "Xianglian, Lily's sworn sister, right? How much do you know about Lily before she left the Kingdom of Flowers?"

Hearing this, not only Xianglian who was tied to the stone pillar was stunned, even the dumb old man beside him trembled as if struck by lightning.

The anger in Xianglian's eyes was about to burst out, as if she wanted to jump over and bite off the headless monster's flesh. She said angrily, "Who allowed you to mention that woman's name in front of me?!"

4700 words. It was too late to watch the game, so as not to lose full attendance, I wrote two chapters in one go and released them together...
