Chapter 48: Despair

In the blink of an eye, Luffy and Moria were sucked on top of the wooden ball, and the Straw Hats knew that Vivi must have had an accident when the cage was broken, and Luffy had an ominous premonition when he moved out of thin air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, they didn't have time to stop everyone who was injured, and those who lost their shadows were too far away, and by the time they arrived, Luffy and Moria had already been pulled away.

At the moment when the two of them came into contact with the wooden ball, a lightning bolt fell out of thin air in the sky where there were no dark clouds, and the difference from ordinary lightning was that this lightning appeared out of thin air with a pitch-black color, but it lit up the nearby world like normal lightning, making everyone unconsciously close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the wooden ball that had been standing on the ground was gone, and Shilu, who should have been in a mortal wound, was the only person standing in the field.

Vivi fell to the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead; Luffy woke up from a coma instead, and he was scorched and blackened at this time, vomiting blood, obviously his internal organs were injured, but compared to the pitch black of his body, his head did not have any scars, as if he was reborn;

Moria, who has a huge body, is the most miserable one, the side of his waist has been shattered by the black lightning and a part is missing, but there is no blood flowing out of the wound, but it is constantly steaming, and he can even smell a smell of barbecue when he is close, and there is no light in his eyes, as if he has died.

And his body had now regained its original size, and countless shadows emerged from his mouth and returned to their original owners, but the result, which should have made most of the people on the island cry with joy, did not bring any cheers at this time.

The reason, of course, was because of Helu, who was standing there.

Take a closer look, Xilu, who has returned to normal size, still has a fist-sized hole in his heart, and he can faintly see the hole on the opposite side, and the reason why he can only vaguely see the opposite side is because at this time this hole is covered with countless small arcs, and in these arcs like channels, you can faintly see the blood that is flowing.

This is exactly how Hiroshi came up with a broken heart. In fact, if it was injured elsewhere, even if it was the brain, he wouldn't need such a troublesome design, but for those with Devil Fruit abilities, even the natural system, the heart is an extremely special place.

It is the storage point and starting point of the Devil Fruit energy, and even the location of the soul of humans in this world, and the absence of the heart is not only equivalent to the loss of the Devil Fruit ability, but also the loss of the soul (Note).

Although part of the reason why Helu was alive was that the vitality of his body became stronger after two 'trades', as he believed, the most important reason was actually the difference in the physical structure between Sigur and the humans in this world.

Unlike the humans in the One Piece world, Sig's soul is not in the heart, or not completely there, in the world that Sig has traveled through, there have been many successful heart transplant surgeries, although there are some people who have personality changes, but most of them will not have any changes, and the vast majority of personality changes will also return to their original state in a short period of time.

And the benefit of this difference to Xilu is that after the fusion of the two bodies, the storage point and starting point of the Devil Fruit ability are not completely in the heart, which is why he can still use the Devil Fruit ability after his heart is broken.

……

"yeshahahaha, aren't you actually dead? Worthy of the protagonist. But it seems that my luck is better, the injury to the broken heart didn't kill me, yeshaha...... No one will come to your rescue this time. ā€

Shiro naturally had reason to be excited, and when Luffy pierced his heart, he did have a premonition of mortality, and this premonition did not come from Sigur, but from Anilu's instinct. This is also a small shortcoming after the fusion, the instinct system comes from two people, which is likely to cause confusion in the judgment of things.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Luffy had completely lost the power to speak, and the black thunder had already torn his head apart, but the return of the shadow made his body recover in a reversal of cause and effect, but the accumulated injuries in his body were real.

"However, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I'd better kill you first, what do you think?"

As he spoke, a burst of thunder flashed on the tip of his right finger, and the sound of countless birds chirping in unison suddenly sounded, and as his fingertips slowly approached Luffy, Hilu stared at Luffy's expression with malice, wanting to see his ugly appearance in the face of death.

The reaction of the rest of the Straw Hats made him very satisfied, and Sauron Sanji staggered to his feet and rushed towards him, but he was kicked out by his two feet, and in the face of these merciless two feet, the two of them who had no mental ability to protect themselves couldn't stand up for a while.

Robin tried to force her telekinesis, but her empty body didn't bring any miracles, but instead made her dizzy and sit on the ground;

Usopp and Chopper have not yet woken up, and Frankie and Brooke are too injured; The only one who still has some combat power is Nami, who can rely on the weather stick to fight.

"Cold bubbles!"

Countless blue bubbles flew towards Shiro, glancing at Nami with a resolute face, Xilu slowly approached Luffy's right hand without stopping, and his empty left hand pointed at Nami, and a thunderbolt instantly struck Nami.

"Electric bubbles!"

Nami had been prepared for Shilu's attack, and with a wave of the Weather Stick, the thunder light had already been channeled underground.

"Oh? It deserves praise for being able to block my blow, but what about this move? ā€

A coin appeared in Shiro's left hand, which was the starting hand of the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, but Nami didn't give him a chance to fire:

"Mirage!"

As Nami's voice fell, both she and Luffy at Shilu's feet suddenly disappeared from Shilu's eyes and appeared in another place, Shilu raised his eyebrows, stopped his right hand that was falling, and at the same time put away the coin in his left hand and walked towards the location where Luffy appeared again.

Nami, who was invisible, snickered and quietly walked towards Luffy, however, before she could touch Luffy, a huge force suddenly came from her waist, and a sharp pain came, and her body flew out involuntarily.

"Yeshahahaha, do you really think you can fool me, Sig has your trick in his memory."

And Shiro, who had a mocking smile on his face, continued to carry a thousand birds to attack Luffy with his right hand, and the coin in his left hand also reappeared, aiming at Nami.

Nami, who had been kicked away, rolled around on the ground a few times, retched a few times, and got up again, ignoring the attacks aimed at her, ignoring the blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, ignoring the injuries on her body, and letting out a desperate she-wolf roar from her mouth, her eyes were red, and she staggered towards Shilu.

Not only her, but also Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and Frankie, the members of the awake Straw Hats, also braced themselves and rushed towards Shilu, because the injuries were so serious, except for Robin, others could not even say that they were rushing, but could only say that they were climbing......

…………

Note: Luo's ability seems to have taken out the heart, but in fact, the heart is still in its original position, so the other party can continue to use the Devil Fruit ability, and what he took out is actually a piece of space - otherwise the other party would have died a long time ago.

And Smoker and Dusty lost their Devil Fruit ability after swapping hearts, because in addition to the heart as a storage point and starting point, the Devil Fruit ability also needs a body that has been modified by the Devil Fruit as a carrier.

As for the idea that the soul of the One Piece world is hidden in the heart, I don't need to say more, otherwise Luo wouldn't be able to let others swap bodies.
