Pirate Hero Advent - Chapter 229

What is a Devil Fruit?

It is a kind of magical fruit that can gain some kind of super power after eating.

So…why do people call him the word “devil”?

The reason may be that after eating a devil fruit, not only will he be disgusted by the sea, and then become a landlubber, but at the same time, in order to obtain the superpower that resides on the fruit, the capable person himself has to pay a certain price.

The price Lynn Barek paid was the high-intensity energy consumption that was necessary while possessing great strength.

As for the fruit of childlike interest—as a terrifying fruit that can passively modify human memory and then erase a person’s “existence” itself, the price that the person with the ability has to pay is naturally higher.

The moment he eats the fruit of childlike fun, the ability user himself will completely stop growing.

It must be noted that the scope of this “stopping” is not only the body of the capable person, but even the physical, mental, mental, mental and other aspects of the capable person will stop growing.

It should be noted that stopping growth is by no means immortality, and the actual age of the childlike fruit ability is still accumulating.

She will still grow old and die, but she will be the same as when she just ate the fruit of childlike fun until she dies.

Perhaps the so-called destiny is just like this. Every child who has the ability to have childlike fruit is a child. Therefore, this effect of stopping growth is by no means a sharp tool for beauty, but more like a curse that cannot be shaken off.

The solidification of the mind and spirit will also make the capable person’s mind very fragile. This is also the key to Usopp scaring the sugar twice in the future, and then saving everyone who has been turned into a toy.

Granulated sugar is actually very timid.

But now, Granose was already terrified to the extreme.

Different from the fear of being suddenly startled, Granu at this time has a feeling of being gradually entangled and swallowed by a poisonous snake.

It is the fear brought about by a sense of powerlessness that cannot be escaped, let alone resisted.

She was beaten unconscious by Lynn before, and was rescued by the family cadre Torrebol who was in charge of protecting him.

Lynn’s blow was so heavy that Granose fell into a coma for a long time, and even after being revived, he could still feel the dizziness.

Torrebol judged that Granose probably suffered a severe concussion. If he could wake up in a short time, it would be considered that he had dealt with it in time, and he was unable to move at all.

It is also because of this that Granu sees this scene:

When the seriously injured Torrepol finished his rest and was about to leave with sugar, a man in a black fur coat appeared behind Torrepol.

【Sand Crocodile】Crocodile.

Torrepol turned his back to Crocodile at the beginning, but after a short exchange, Torrepol suddenly clenched the scepter in his hand, and swung his head back to Crocodile.

However, what awaited Torrebol was a gravel scimitar rolling with sand.

Swish!

The domineering gravel scimitar wrapped in armed color cut off Torrebol’s scepter in an instant, and Torrepol roared and swung two streams of slime from his hand again.

This move is as powerful as a cannon, enough to penetrate a thick wall!

However, such a powerful move was chopped into several pieces by Crocodile several times, and the mucus was scattered and splashed all around.

“You, don’t come here!”

Torrebol threw out several streams of slime one after another, but Crocodile easily cut them off.

Slime splashed everywhere, making the whole street sticky.

Crocodile continued to move forward, but there was a sneer on Torrepole’s face.

“Hey hey hey, sand crocodile, you’ve been tricked!”

Before he finished speaking, Torrebol suddenly reached out and grabbed the head of the scepter that had just been cut off, and opened the lid on it.

It turned out that the head of the scepter was actually a device for ignition.

This is Torrebol’s last and least known secret weapon.

The slime he secretes is flammable, and just a little flame can cause a big explosion.

Now, his slime is all over the street, and the explosion is even more powerful.

Even those with natural devil fruit abilities would need some time to recover after being affected by such an explosion, and then Torrebol would be able to escape here with the sugar!

Everyone in the Don Quixote family has absolute trust in Doflamingo, the king they believe.

As long as the information is passed on to Doflamingo, no matter how bad the situation is, their young master must have countermeasures!

Thinking of this, Torrebol used the head of the scepter to trigger sparks, which in turn ignited the slime on the soles of his feet.

With a bang, the slime burned, and quickly extended from Torrebol’s feet, heading straight for Crocodile!

boom!

Flames overflowed, and violent explosions filled the entire street in an instant.

Seeing this, Torrebol smiled with satisfaction, and was about to leave with the sugar when suddenly a “flame” burst out of the fire, directly “wrapping” Torrepol into it.

Seeing this, Sasuke couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

what happened?

In the next second, the slime burned away, the flame receded, and Granu finally saw what happened in the flame.

Torrebol was already on the verge of death at this time, and all parts of his body were visibly shriveled, and the mucus usually wrapped around his body had also been separated at this time, revealing his scrawny body.

His neck was being strangled by Crocodile’s hand, and his whole body was lifted directly from the ground and fixed in mid-air.

The pain caused by suffocation made Torrebol struggle a few times, but immediately after, his limbs fell limply due to severe dehydration.

Crocodile took a sip of the cigar in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, frowned and said:

“Don’t underestimate me, slimy bastard.”

Afterwards, Crocodile threw Torrepol aside like garbage, and then picked up a pink phone bug that had escaped from Torrepol’s slime from the ground.

“Hehehehe, I found it.”

A gloomy smile appeared on Crocodile’s face, and then he picked up the handset on the pink phone bug.

Boo boo boo boo… boo boo boo…

Click!

When the phone bug was connected, Crocodile took the lead and said:

“Hello? I know you can hear me, talk, I have a deal to talk to you about.”

“…” There was no reply from the phone bug.

“Tsk, play dead? Doflamingo, my patience is limited.”

Crocodile frowned, and then said in a deep voice: “Listen, I found very interesting information in Punk Hazard’s research institute. You seem to be researching a man-made devil fruit with Caesar?”

“…”

“Still talking? Then I will continue. I am not interested in your research, but what I want is…”

Having said that, Crocodile found that the phone bug still had no intention of speaking, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.

His gaze turned to Granu Tang, who had collapsed on the ground, and then his right hand condensed into a gravel harpoon, aiming at Granu Tang’s body.

This time, seeing the life threats of his family members, Doflamingo at the phone bug finally couldn’t help it, and said, “What do you want?”

“Hehehehe, finally answered? It’s a pity, it’s late, and I’m in a bad mood right now.”

The corner of Crocodile’s mouth was raised, and he threw the gravel harpoon in his hand directly towards the sugar.

This harpoon was very thin, but its lethality was equally astonishing. It directly penetrated the lower abdomen of the sugar, and the latter couldn’t help but howled out in pain, tears swirling in his eyes.

“Hey!” Doflamingo’s anger almost overflowed the receiver.

“Hehehehe, don’t worry, I can’t die…for now.” Crocodile sneered a few times, and continued: “Now, let’s talk about what I want, shall we?”

Doflamingo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Say.”

Crocodile said with a dark smile: “I want a devil fruit in your hand—superhuman, golden fruit.”
