Chapter 181 Lingling Fruit

The ghosts didn't fly too far, and spirits didn't have such a thing as gravitational potential energy.

They float in the air.

She looked at Fran blankly, as if she had been stunned.

"Flan."

Eleus was also a little curious.

According to the principles of this world, things like the spirit body cannot be touched by ordinary means. Even armed Haki cannot affect the spirit body. Even if you can flatten a mountain with one punch, you will not be able to hurt the spirit body. It's every penny.

"How did you do it just now?"

Knock away the ghost with one punch,

This is not in line with the working mechanism of this world.

"...It's my ability."

Fran herself was a little confused.

She thought for a few seconds and then slowly said: "My flame seems to...can touch the soul!" A circle of golden-red illusory flames was wrapped around her hand, blooming with a brilliant but bright light. Gentle light that is not dazzling.

"...Is it absolute defense in the true sense? It can resist attacks at the soul level...I have always felt that they are both phantom beasts. Compared with Marco's regeneration, Kaido's control With the ability of wind and thunder, simply improving the defense is a bit... weak."

Elus sorted out the thoughts in his mind,

"Hey, Lion Face, is there any fire?"

"fire?"

Absalom, who was pretending to be dead, moved, "I don't have a lighter, but I have a rocket launcher on my hand."

"Bazooka...anything will do! Aim at the forest over there and make some fire for me."

"Yes Yes."

Two rocket launchers suddenly appeared on Absalom's arms.

This guy hid very well. He had been exposed on the deck before, but he still hid the rocket launcher.

but,

After witnessing Fran beating up the ghost, Absalom realized that his idea of ​​relying on the rocket launcher equipped on his arm to unexpectedly reverse the situation at a critical moment was nothing more than a wishful thinking... So, he He honestly took the initiative to expose the rocket launcher.

"You're smart."

Elus glanced at it, indifferent.

The smile on Absalom's face became more and more unnatural and flattering. He only heard two "swish" sounds, and the rocket launcher fired, followed by a deafening explosion. The dead trees on the roadside were blown to pieces, and the broken tree stumps were covered with hot fire. The flames are burning fiercely.

"Fulan, don't use your armed domineering force. Use your flame... to touch it." Luo Ci pointed at the burning tree stump.

Fran stepped forward.

Reach your left hand into the burning flame.

"······how do you feel?"

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no reaction from Fran, Eleus had to take the initiative to ask.

"I don't feel anything, it's just... very ordinary." Fran carefully experienced the three tastes, "Unlike Armed Haki, when using the fruit ability, the physical energy consumption is less... It seems, You don't need to be armed with Haki to hurt natural-type ability users."

"Oh! Interesting."

Eleus raised an eyebrow.

If Fran's feeling is correct, then the ability of this golden-winged bird fruit is not really that weak. If it is used well, it may not be weaker than other phantom beast fruits.

To know,

Armed color domineering is limited.

It takes a certain amount of time to recover after it is exhausted. If you encounter a series of battles, you have to carefully control the loss of Haki. There are many people in the new world who use armed Haki, but except for a few people, most people fight. Just cover part of the body with armed color domineering.

Few people would do such a wasteful and domineering act of covering everything.

The flame of Fran's Garuda fruit has similar but more outstanding characteristics to Haki, and does not overlap with Haki, which greatly improves her endurance, and this may not be all. It should be noted that there are many superhuman fruits. They have strange abilities, many of which are difficult to defend against even armed and domineering people.

For example, the transfer and cutting abilities of the Surgery Fruit, the soul attack of the Lingling Fruit, the smoke of the Art Fruit that can turn people into works of art... and so on, there are many.

While the armored domineering energy cannot resist, it does not mean that the flames of the Garuda fruit cannot have its effect.

It's just that there is a lack of experimental data, so we can't be sure.

But even this is enough to make people feel happy.

Elus is very happy to see the strength of his subordinates, especially his confidants like Fran. The stronger his subordinates are, the greater help they can bring to him in the future.

Delayed for a while in the forest,

The group of people set off on the road again.

The ghost blocking the road quietly disappeared. Elus didn't say anything, and Absalom also chose to remain silent. His loyalty to Lord Moria will never change, so Pei, who suffered a loss, Lorna went to inform Lord Moria, who was undoubtedly happy to see the outcome.

Even if he would be punished by the Black Prince for 'not reporting what he knew', he still accepted it.

"...Lord Black Prince, after passing through this forest and the cemetery in front is the residence of Dr. Hogbak. You can already see the spire of the mansion's tower from here." Absalom Pointing to the pointed spire in the distance, he introduced the route forward.

"Cemetery? It's not common to see such a busy cemetery."

Elus glanced at the cemetery where the mounds were piled up and the tombstones were lined.

It seems deserted, but in fact there are constant rustling noises. Although there is no breath of living things in this cemetery, there are quite a few zombies.

"——Dial-"

The soil is stirred.

Black arms sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots.

If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there must be three... As if the signal sounded, the zombies hiding in the cemetery became active one after another. Their bodies were shriveled and thin, with yellowing bandages tied everywhere on their bodies. The ragged clothes were stained with dirt.

"woo woo woo woo······"

The zombies made weird noises and rushed toward Elvus and his group with not too slow steps.

"Stop, fucking stop it, I'll put anyone in the stove and use it as firewood."

Absalom yelled angrily.

This group of idiot zombies didn't realize that he was cautious around the Black Prince, for fear of dissatisfying the big man. As a result, these zombie soldiers under his command dared to dismantle him even if they didn't help him.

The zombies were confused.

They stared blankly at the commander who jumped out to stop them, wondering what went wrong.

This was not the first time they had cooperated. Absalom had lured the target over before, and then the zombies swarmed up and annihilated the prey.

This time,

Something seems to be wrong?

————

The depths of the terrifying barque.

Continuous palaces are hidden in the gloomy thick fog. Thick rusty iron chains connect the four directions in mid-air. The towering castles have no lights. The dilapidated roads are full of dust and dead bones. Bats are in the sky. Flying by in droves.

Bursts of weird laughter suddenly sounded.

White ghosts gathered towards the castle from all directions. They passed through the high city walls, broke through the closed doors, and penetrated the tightly closed windows... In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, a bandaged bird The stuffed bear saw the ghost flying into the room and said hello hurriedly:

"Oh oh... oh oh oh!!! You are back! Lady Perona."

"Shut up, Kumasi."

The ghosts poured into the high-end velvet bed deep in the room. A slender girl in Gothic clothes sat on it. As the scattered souls gathered together, the girl who was motionless like a puppet started to move and she stood on the ground. , hands on hips, glaring at the shivering stuffed bear,

"Your voice is small and deep, not cute at all...Things that are not cute are not qualified to serve me."

"And...hiss! It hurts!"

Before the girl could finish her words, she was overwhelmed by the pain that surged up like a tide. She held her head and let out a shrill scream.

The stuffed bear looked at the wailing girl in panic, but did not dare to make any more noise, and could only look at its owner helplessly.

Perona sat on the edge of the bed for a while before letting go of her hands holding her head. The pain that seemed to split her soul finally subsided. She took a breath and cursed the woman who caused her pain with tears in her eyes. , "Abominable woman, where did this monster come from...that bastard Absalom..."

Ever since she ate the Lingling Fruit and mastered the ghost clone, this was the first time she had been beaten so painfully.

A fist that strikes the soul.

I still haven't gotten over it yet.

"No, those two guys are too dangerous, Lord Moria must be informed."

Perona stood up again.

The pain that remained in her mind always reminded her that something was not right. This was a situation she had never encountered before, and that Absalom guy... Now think about it carefully, look at that lion-faced one Silly expressions, seeming to be afraid of the man and the woman...

A girl who has made up her mind will do what she says,

She found the phone bug on the table, but she looked at it for a few seconds before putting it down. Some words couldn't be explained clearly on the phone bug.

then,

The girl sat back on the bed again,

A ghost clone that was exactly the same as the original body came out, flew twice in the air, and told the bear puppet, "Kumasi, watch my body." Then it plunged into the wall, passed through the wall, and walked The shortest straight line distance led to the castle house in front of the main mast of the terrifying three-masted sailboat.

This is where Moonlight Moria lives.

That is, the captain's cabin in a general sense.

This is a very tall room. A huge man lies on his back on a thick velvet blanket with his head pillowed on an overly large pillow... His size is compared to that of a normal human being. Really too tall and fat.

He has a hair like a shallot, looks like a demon, has two horns on the side of his forehead, pointed ears, sharp fangs like steel forks can be seen in his breath, and a long neck that looks like a snake head. He is wearing a shirt with a bat-shaped collar and Gothic art clothing.

This man,

It’s the King’s Seven Martial Arts, Moonlight Moria.

"...Lord Moria, Lord Moria..."

Perona's ghostly clone flew through the air in the room.

"...It's Perona! Hehehehe! What's the matter?" Moria, who was woken up, smiled and greeted Perona who was flying in the air. There was no such thing as being angry at all.

In fact,

As the captain of the pirate group, Moria is a good boss.

His subordinates were all loyal to him. During the war, Absalom risked being besieged by Doflamingo and a group of pacifists to rescue Moria. Later, in order to rescue Absalom, he even Dare to attack the Blackbeard Pirates who have replaced Whitebeard as the Four Emperors.

Perona was also a child he picked up. The girl regarded her as a father-like existence and respected her very much...even though she was later abducted by Hawkeye.

"Lord Moria, someone is on board."

"Oh? New prey?"

"No, no, Lord Moria, the enemies this time are different from before. Absalom seems to have been coerced by them. My ghost clone was injured by them, and it still hurts."

Moria stayed for a moment.

She seemed to be taking her time to understand what Perona was saying.

"Perona, you said...your ghost clone was injured?" Moria was obviously a little surprised when he said this. He picked up Perona when she was very young and raised her with one hand. As a child, even the Lingling Fruit, a very precious superhuman fruit, was obtained by him with great efforts.

He knew very well how difficult Lingling Fruit was.

If he didn't directly target Perona's body, even he wouldn't have the ability to deal with the ghost clone.

"Yes, it's a red-haired maid."

"A red-haired maid?"

Moria blinked and thought hard. He didn't remember such a number one person.

"That's right, the man with that maid... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." Perona recalled the scene at that time, but maybe it was because the ghost clone was injured. The memory is not very clear.

"Ah——! I can't remember."

Perona was very upset.

He clearly had an impression, but he couldn't match the name in his memory. However, his intuition told him that it was a very important, no, a rather scary guy.

"Hehehehe! Interesting! Interesting! I want to see who he is."

Moria waved, and the three little zombies guarding the door jumped in, "Paou, Nin, Shura, let Spider Rat go and take a look. What happened to Absalom? Give me the photos of the intruders." Bring it back, I want to see who is here."

"Yes, Lord Moria."

The little zombies happily agreed.

I jumped out of the door again and went to look for the spider rats that were everywhere on the ship.

Spider rats are the smallest and most numerous zombies on the terrifying three-masted ship. There are five hundred rat-like zombies active in every corner of the terrifying three-masted ship. They are the best informants and the best assassins. It is said that they never miss their prey.
