Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of Albana (2)
Southeast Gate of Albana, Capital of the Kingdom of Alabastan:
Usopp of the Straw Hats and newcomer Tony Tony Chopper take on the Baroque company's MR.4 and Miss Christmas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's going on? where did they go?" Usopp, who was about to snipe with a slingshot, began to panic when he found the enemy disappearing in front of him and losing his target.
After losing the enemy, Usopp could no longer calm down. According to Vivi, all the high-ranking members of the Baroque Company with numbers above 5 are Devil Fruit abilities, and the closer the number is to 0, the stronger it is.
"They're underground! Get down!" Chopper hurriedly pounced on a bewildered Usopp.
A baseball flew past where Usopp had been standing before, and then suddenly there was a huge explosion, apparently a cannonball filled with gunpowder.
"Usopp, how are you?" Chopper asked after the explosion. In order to fight better, Chopper transforms into a humanoid form, after all, his orc form is too short to be suitable for combat. It was his first battle since joining the Straw Hats, and although he was timid, he was serious.
"It's so dangerous, thank you for saving me!But what happened just now?" Usopp, who was scared for a while, hurriedly thanked. If it hadn't been for Chopper's timely rescue, the shell just now would have hit his body, and judging from the power of the explosion, this was obviously not an ordinary cannonball. This is a special shell, which is filled with more gunpowder and has a much stronger explosive force than ordinary shells.
"William seems to have said that it wasn't MR.4 himself who ate the Devil Fruit, but his pet!" Chopper said quickly. It can be said that MR.4 is the only one among all the high-ranking members who has not eaten a Devil Fruit, but he has a pet with Devil Fruit abilities.
"Pet, I don't think it's that guy!" Usopp exclaimed, pointing to a strange creature standing in the desert that looked like a dog but was not a dog, "What kind of monster is that?"
"Watch out, the cannonball is coming again!" This time, Chopper finally saw that the baseball-like cannonball was actually the one that the strange dog sneezed on. If that's what this strange creature is capable of, that is, the enemy has almost an infinite number of shells to attack them, and there is no need to worry about the shortage of ammunition.
"Why did you fire again?" the panicked Usopp quickly dodged in a flash, but MR.4, who had been missing, suddenly emerged from the desert and hit the cannonball back with the bat in his hand.
"You have to run farther away, Usopp!" Chopper, who had been keeping an eye on the movement around him, hurriedly shouted at Usopp. Although this time Usopp managed to miss the shell again, and then the shell detonated the moment it flew over his head. Fortunately, Usopp even curled up to minimize the damage caused by the explosion to his body, otherwise he would have been completely incapacitated at this moment.
The strange creature fired a time bomb that exploded even if it didn't hit the target. The MR.4 had calculated the detonation time before hitting the bombs, and the bombs were as heavy as iron balls, so it was impossible to catch them with your hands before throwing them back.
"MR.4's hand is extraordinary, it can shoot a cannonball at that speed!" Chopper could see clearly, the cannonball fired by the strange creature was not much faster than the cannon, but the speed increased more than twice after being hit by the bat in MR.4's hand.
At this time, MR.4 rested on the wall of a ruin, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and rested for a while. But in just a few moments, the bat actually crushed the walls of the ruins. Even the walls of this ruin are not so easy to crush, right? How heavy does this bat have to be to do it? And MR.4 can easily swing a bat of this weight, which shows that his arm strength is terrifying.
"Is that guy a monster? How many tons of bats does he swing freely have?"
"Hey, MR.4, you slow guy, don't kill them yet!" Miss Christmas, who suddenly appeared behind MR.4, slapped MR.4 on the back of the head and scolded.
"Huh, the Mole Man is out!" Usopp was once again startled when he saw Miss Christmas suddenly jump out of the desert.
"You pig, I haven't changed yet!" retorted Miss Christmas loudly. Although she showed the transformation ability of the animal department once, but now that she has been lifted, she is still regarded as an orc-type, can she not be popular!
"Chopper, I'll leave it to you, can you help me put the body in the sea?" Usopp suddenly collapsed weakly, and pleaded weakly. At the same time, facing a Devil Fruit ability, a monster with super arm strength, and an incredible creature, Usopp decided to seek death and relief, and he should play dead.
"Aren't you going to help me?" Chopper shouted in fear at Usopp as he fell to the ground. Let him face such an opponent alone, he simply does not have the strength to win.
"But what is that dog-like thing? I can't fight that mysterious creature of unknown origin!" Usopp said unceremoniously, "I'm human, you know?"
"I'm human too!" Chopper shouted in the same way. To be honest, in fact, Chopper can only be regarded as half a human and belongs to a rare species. To say that he is human is because he eats the fruit of animals and that he is not human, then he is a reindeer and has a blue nose.
"You're talking nonsense, you're a blue-nosed monster!" Usopp said, pointing to Chopper's blue-nosed.
"Aren't you also a long-nosed monster!" Chopper, who was also not to be outdone, also said something about Usopp's long-nosed nose. The two of them seemed to forget that this was a battlefield, and the enemy was still staring at them, but they also relaxed their nervousness and fear a lot.
"This is my pet 'Lasu', a 'gun' that eats the fruit of a dog and turns into a dachshund!" MR.4, who was slow and half-beaten, began to slowly introduce his pet "Lasu".
"Is that a gun?" both Usopp and Chopper looked at the dog named Rasu with incredulous eyes. If this is a dog that has eaten a Devil Fruit, it can still make people accept its strange appearance, but it is a bit unacceptable to say that it is a gun that has eaten a Devil Fruit.
"This is a new technology for the Great Route, and objects can also 'eat' Devil Fruits!" Miss Christmas on the side said quickly before MR.4 could continue slowly.
"How is that possible? How could it move if it was originally a gun? And how could a Devil Fruit be self-aware?" William also deliberately concealed this matter when analyzing the intelligence, mainly because William didn't want to explain too much about this kind of thing, his intelligence source alone was already very suspicious, and if he knew everything, it really couldn't be explained.
"It's annoying, why do dying people know so much?" Miss Christmas shouted impatiently, "He just moves, and I can't help it!"
How could Miss Christmas understand this kind of technical stuff? And this is the latest technology of the Great Route, even if you want to steal it, you have to know the source to have a chance. I just don't know how MR.4 got the gun that ate the canine fruit dachshund breed.
"She's turned into a mole!" This time Usopp finally saw Miss Christmas's orc-like form, and the body shape was not very different from the human form, no wonder it would make people mistaken.
"It's a mole man, not a mole, stupid!" Miss Christmas shouted angrily, "Let me show you how powerful our big move 'Mole Mound No. 4 Street' is!"
"Got underground?" Usopp thought he was going to fight them head-on when he saw the other party's menacing, but he didn't expect to sneak underground. He himself took advantage of this opportunity to escape, but was locked by MR.4 and a cannonball was fired at him.
"Danger!" Hearing Chopper's warning, Usopp managed to dodge the "curveball" that would turn.
"This is the so-called number four hitman, and it's not a hundred shots!" said Usopp smugly as he ran as he noticed that the cannonball had fallen to the ground.
"Watch the back!" Chopper immediately turned into a beast and rushed over, dodging the explosion with Usopp in his mouth. It turned out to be a "spinning ball" that was spinning at high speed instead of standing still when it fell into the sand. If it weren't for Chopper, Usopp would have been hit directly in the back.
"It turns out to be an animal-based devil fruit ability?" Miss Christmas, whose upper body was exposed to the desert, said vigilantly, "I just don't think he's an ordinary human!"
"Blue Wave Ball!Mind Enhancement!" Chopper eats the special medicine he developed for the transformation of the animal system, and can derive the three-stage transformation of the animal system into a seven-stage transformation. However, the other four deformations that are derived only have a three-minute time limit, and will return to normal once the effect has passed.
