Chapter 167 Phantom Beast·Gold-Winged Bird Form

The huge waterwheels rotate slowly and slowly under the push of flowing water. There are many types of these waterwheels. They are not only different in appearance and structure, but also have various functions. Some are used to irrigate fields. Some are used for grinding grain and pounding rice, and there are also special large waterwheels with wires, which are used to generate electricity.

The lives of the people on Waterwheel Island are closely related to the waterwheel. Everything they have now is built on the basis of the waterwheel.

So when the water tanker was damaged, such a serious event immediately attracted the attention of more villagers. When the number of people gradually increased, everyone became more courageous. Looking at the man who fell to the shore, After one water tanker after another, an elderly villager finally stood up and boldly scolded the culprit who destroyed the water tanker.

That is Fran and Badgers who are fighting.

"Annoying garbage."

Badgers glanced at the shouting crowd from the corner of his eye, and did not take these idiots to heart. They were a group of idiots who were protected by the Whitebeard Pirates and had forgotten the cruelty of the new world. These idiots will know when Whitebeard dies. How stupid they are!

"You were distracted during the battle. You are braver than I thought!"

The cold sound of falling ice shards reached his ears.

Badgers was suddenly startled.

In a hurry, he squandered his armed domineering energy without hesitation. His reaction was already fast enough. The only problem was that Fran's attack was faster. The fist wrapped with golden-red illusory flames struck straight like lightning. Badger's chest.

It was like being hit head-on by a battering ram.

Badgers almost didn't lift it up in one breath.

The stinging pain in his chest made him clearly understand that his body was seriously injured, not just his chest. After fighting with Fran for several rounds, he was injured in many places, although it was not enough to make him lose his mobility. However, if it continues to be delayed, it may turn into a serious illness that is difficult to cure.

As a consistent victorious champion in the fighting arena, he has seen too many veteran fighters who had to leave the ring due to physical weakness, so he knows the importance of taking care of his body very well.

only--

"Spiral Elbow Strike."

Badgers thrust forward with his right elbow, meeting Fran's beautiful white jade fist.

Fists and elbows collided, Badgers fell back, and Fran's body swayed backwards, but she still raised her feet and continued to move forward.

Looking at Fran, who was chasing after him, Badgers had a splitting headache. Not to mention recuperating, he didn't even have time to rest for a while. This was completely different from the battle with Farug. Fran was better than Farug. Too powerful, this battle made him feel tremendous pressure both mentally and physically.

Fran is strong.

This is something Badgers knows only too well after personal experience.

His extremely powerful fighting skills are not inferior to his arm strength. He is also an animal-type Devil Fruit user. He is either an ancient species or a fantasy beast species... The most important thing is that he is a flying bird with a little mobility. Completely superior to him.

If it weren't for the skill and perseverance he had honed in thousands of fights, he would have been knocked to the ground.

It was impossible to escape even if he wanted to escape at this time, or it was precisely because the success of escape might be really slim that he would stay and fight to the death, thinking of grabbing a hostage to save himself, but he was disturbed by Fran. His plan, and beat him with a pair of white and tender fists that looked like they had never done any heavy work, leaving him in a panic.

then,

"I have never offended His Highness the Black Prince."

"Your Excellency, why did you attack me?"

"...As long as my life can be guaranteed, I am willing to surrender."

Badger's backbone is not very strong.

In other words, he is free and does not have any burden of surrender. As long as the Black Prince is willing to accept him, surrendering to the Black Prince is not an impossible choice... Although he knows that this possibility is very small, whether it is Farug or Fran started fighting with him without saying anything that sounded like solicitation.

The attitude hidden behind this behavior is so clear.

His test failed as expected. Fran had no intention of deceiving Badgers. In the eyes of the maid, there was no need to waste words and saliva on recruiting an unstable bomb for an enemy that could be defeated with fists, especially for her. It's clear what use Badgers will be used for...

"Don't you give me any chance?"

The begging was in vain. Looking at Fran who was pressing closer and closer, Badgers had a fierce look on his face. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. Badgers, who seems to have no backbone, is not a weak rabbit. It's a hungry tiger that eats people.

The ferocity and cruelty in his bones were once again aroused.

"Not a bad elbow strike."

"It's useless, your attacks can't break my defense."

Fran blocked Badgers' attack with one hand. Her golden-red wings flapped wantonly behind her back. Her delicate white palm was also wrapped with a layer of golden-red flames, and she grabbed Badgers' right elbow. , looking at Badgers with a gloomy face, a cold smile appeared on his pretty face,

"Is it weird? I am an esper of the Phantom Beast species. The flames of the Garuda give me defenses comparable to diamonds without affecting the flexibility of my muscles. If you want to hurt me, you are still far away. It's not enough!" Fran tightened her fingers, causing the tattered armor to crackle and explode, and the broken pieces of armor fell to the ground.

Bird Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Garuda Form.

This is the true appearance of the Devil Fruit Fran took.

The special ability of this devil fruit of the phantom beast species is quite simple. As Fran said, the golden-red illusory flame has no ability to hurt people. Its only function is to improve her body's defense, and it is different from shining. In the rigid form of the fruit after turning into diamond, Fran has a defensive power comparable to diamond and can also perform difficult moves like a gymnast.

What seems like a simple ability is actually quite abnormal.

Especially after Fran has superimposed Armament Haki, it can be said to be a desperate defense. Elus and Fran have competed several times. If they don't go all out, a single-charge attack can't be said to defeat them. Fran, even leaving a wound on her has become extremely difficult.

I heard Fran reveal her abilities.

Badgers' face became increasingly ugly.

To openly reveal the details of her abilities at this time... It can only be said that Fran has made it clear that she wants to fight him to the death.

"Okay, His Highness will be arriving soon. Let's end this game quickly!"

Fran said.

Badgers opened his mouth, trying to express his anger.

only--

The shrill roar of the wind spread in all directions.

The villagers who were not standing far enough apart were startled, and Badgers's expression was even more distorted to the extreme. In just a snap of his fingers, he was galloping past the vast distance, with golden-red wings like a phantom. Fanning at extremely high speed, it struck Badgers hard like a fist carved from white jade.

A sound like muffled thunder echoed across the fields.

Feeling the soreness and pain in his arms, his body leaned back involuntarily. Badgers tried his best to control the muscles of his body to prevent himself from sitting on the ground. However, this was only the first blow. The moment he controlled his balance, Fran flew back to the previous distance.

Then,

Punch and attack again.

"boom!"

The collision of fists and elbows made a frightening explosion.

Badgers, whose right arm was almost numb, looked furious and his face turned red.

Unfortunately, anger could not make him reverse the fact that he was lagging behind in terms of speed. Relying on the powerful mobility brought by her wings, she opened the distance again and again, and increased the attack power of her fists by accelerating. , Badgers failed to avoid even one attack.

Speed ​​translates into power.

The hardness of Fran's fist, which had been strengthened by the flames of the Garuda and the armament-colored Haki, was also above Badgers's elbow.

Hit the egg with a stone.

That's probably what happened.

With a cracking sound, the armor on Badgers' arm was completely shattered, and his swollen right arm also bent in an unnatural direction into a strange shape. This time Fran did not continue to pull away. From a distance, she swung her right fist again and hit Badgers in the abdomen.

There was a muffled sound, and the heavy impact defeated the exhausted armed domineering force, passing through the strong abdominal muscles and hard ribs, causing Badgers' abdomen to immediately swell.

This man must be captured alive.

Fran didn't forget this.

A living fighting champion is far more valuable than a dead Badgers.

Not worried that the fighting champion would be captured like this, Fran continued to punch Badgers when he bent down like a red-hot prawn. This time, the fist landed on Badgers' left shoulder, and the right arm was lost. While losing mobility, his left arm was also temporarily disabled.

No more hands.

Badgers still had legs, but it was impossible to make a comeback with two legs.

In severe pain, Badgers, who was lying on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, widened his eyes, and looked at Fran standing in front of him. However, Fran still had that indifferent expression, she looked down indifferently. Badgers said unwillingly, "No matter how hard you struggle, you will never escape from His Highness's grasp. What you are like now is the price of resistance."

"Spare...spare me, Huhu...I don't want to die."

Badgers opened his mouth, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"Your life and death will be decided by Your Highness."

Fran took two steps aside and turned to look at the sky behind her, "Wait! His Highness is already here."

horizon,

A black shadow emerged.

After the battle, Elvus arrived belatedly.

"Gizas Badges... you are not very lucky!" Elus stood in front of Badges, lowering his head and looking down at the big man lying on the ground, with both arms He was bent unnaturally, and the blood foam that spilled from the corners of his mouth intermittently proved that his organs had also suffered a serious blow.

Of course, these injuries look serious, but they are not fatal.

For a strong guy like Badgers, this kind of trauma can be healed slowly even without medicine as long as the bone is corrected.

"Ai... Ahem! Your Highness Elus, I, ahem... I am willing to surrender. Please, huhu, please don't kill me."

Badgers struggled and begged for mercy.

He is not at all willing to end his life like this. He has finally honed his skills in the fighting arena, but he has not yet had time to gain a famous name and enjoy the taste of power and wealth... ·He is really unwilling.

"kill you?"

There was a kind smile on Elus's face. He squatted down, stretched out his finger to poke Badgers' abdominal muscles, and said warmly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, at least not during this period of time." Although there are many strong men in the world who want you to die, it is quite difficult to find materials like you."

Badgers endured the pain that constantly hit his mind like a tide.

He tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and watched Eleus's every move. His intuition told him that Eleus had not deceived him, or that he had fallen to this point and was not worthy of being deceived. It was just... For some reason, he didn't feel at ease, and he always felt that there was an invisible crisis hanging over his head.

At this time, Eleus stood up.

"Fran, ask someone to come over and move the goods...Also, Farug, you are a loser. I brought you here just to ask you to move things, but you ended up lying down yourself and asked others to move it." He turned around. Turning around, he first spoke to Fran, and then flew in front of Farug. He caught this subordinate who couldn't stand up after being beaten by Badgers and gave him a scolding.

"Your Highness, it's my fault."

Farug bowed his head and admitted his mistake honestly.

Several of his ribs were broken by Badgers, and the calf bone of his left leg was also unfortunately fractured. It became difficult for him to walk on his own, let alone moving things.

"How do you feel after receiving a beating?"

After the training, Elus asked Farug for his thoughts.

"Well... I'm too arrogant. Your Highness, your judgment is correct. I'm no match for that guy." Farug stretched out his hand and scratched his face, "But I don't regret my choice this time. The beating was quite painful, but it’s not a wasted beating after you see your own worth.”

"...It's good to have something to gain. Don't be so embarrassed next time. If you lose so miserably next time, I will doubt my eyesight."

"That's hard to say! There's nothing we can do if we encounter a monster like Hawkeye!"

"Get lost! If you had met Hawkeye, you would have been doomed long ago."

Eleus cursed with a smile.

Although Farug came here halfway, his character, loyalty, ability and potential are all good. After inspection, Elus added Farug to the training list, not expecting him to be able to do anything in the future. When fighting against generals, it is enough to be able to block one or two lieutenant generals.

After all, even if Bengyu can 'destroy a young man's talent,' not everyone can reach the level of a vice admiral.
