Chapter 5: Kill! New energy?

[Stealing Fruit] ability activated!

Leo's left hand penetrated the man's chest and abdomen without hindrance, as if he could touch the other's heart.

However, the truth is ...... When Leo grabbed something and pulled it out, a large red bubble emerged from the man's body, and at the same time, ...... In the man's stunned gaze, when he wanted to say the answer "the capable one", he suddenly felt soreness and weakness! The muscles seem to atrophy, and they lose their ability to move for a short time!

Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, Leo broke free from the man's right hand, grabbed the dagger and plunged it into the major artery of the other party's neck, and instantly pulled it out again, and his actions were so neat that he couldn't speak!

That's right, from the very beginning, Leo didn't plan to go head-to-head...... In his vision, no matter how talented he is, how bright will he be in the future...... At the age of eight, he couldn't fight against two adults by brute force.

Luckily...... When he was exploring the [Stealing Fruit] ability before, Leo discovered a feature, that is, when extracting red, blue, or green energy from the human body, the target human body would have a brief stagnation reaction.

And this is Leo's chance to fight back!

"Poof~!"

There seemed to be a sound in the air of a water pipe breaking and water splashing, but it wasn't transparent...... It's scarlet.

Blood gushed out from the man's broken neck, soaking his whole body in a moment, the man's pupils were dilated, and he couldn't stop the bleeding while clutching his throat, so he could only die weakly.

"The Mighty!"

The other man behind him shouted out what he wanted to say before he died.

Leo turned around with a pale face, his blood-colored pupils staring at the man's trembling eyes, as he panicked! He stretched out his right hand again and plunged into the man's body, then pulled out a lightning-like cyan electric energy crop that Leo had never seen before.

"Boom~"

The moment the current was pumped out, the man unexpectedly fainted and collapsed.

Leo raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't expect it, but when he smelled the smell of blood in the air, he felt very disgusted, and even wanted to vomit, his face was ugly.

Grabbing the dagger, he mended the man's knife, and quickly left the scene of the killing, not forgetting to take the ingredients he bought with him before leaving.

Five minutes later...... Leo was hidden under a bridge over the Seine, an inaccessible place where those people should not be able to find it anytime soon.

Putting the ingredients down, Leo rubbed his abdomen, and his nose seemed to be filled with the smell of blood...... Makes Leo feel sick and abnormal.

But at least not stupid enough to actually vomit.

In the past two years, he has been accustomed to seeing life and death, and there will be murders and gangsters fighting on the island every week, so he naturally does not have too much resistance to such a thing.

Of course...... Today was Leo's first time doing it, and he did it successfully.

Use the time of five breaths to adjust your emotions, and after five breaths, ...... Leo recovered, forgetting what had just happened for a moment, and concentrating on the different energy crops in his hands.

First of all, it is naturally the energy of the red transparent bubbles that have been eaten many times.

It seems that the probability of stealing things will increase with mood fluctuations, and the size of the energy crops stolen will also be different.

Because it was only the size of a ping-pong ball before......

Now it's the size of an adult's fist.

"Let's try it......"

Leo muttered.

This energy crop had long been proven to be harmless and had the effect of strengthening himself, and Leo swallowed it without hesitation.

After three seconds, the energy crop ferments in the body, and the heat flow shuttles through the body...... Leo felt a palpable feeling of muscle soreness, which was a sign that cells were growing, and this time it was very intense, even faintly painful, which made Leo feel even more ...... You may have grown taller.

After a minute, the reaction stops.

With a deep breath, Leo readjusted.

He looked at his arm, and the muscles on it were more pronounced and powerful...... I opened my clothes again and looked at my abdomen, which had faintly highlighted the lines of my abdominal muscles.

Satisfied with this result, Li Ou chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and then turned his puzzled gaze to the cyan current energy crop in his other hand......

"Crack~Crack~"

It's like a real electric current, and when you hold it in your hand, you feel a slight numbing pain.

What the hell is this?

It was the first time he'd pulled out something like this.

Apparently very rare.

"Forget it...... It should be harmless. ”

You can't harm yourself with your own abilities, right......

With this in mind, Leo filled the trace of electricity into his mouth.

The next moment...... Electricity suddenly spreads in the mouth! Spread to the whole body in an instant! Let Leo fall into a state of paralysis! And I felt a sharp pain!

Yes...... This is the first time I have felt severe pain! It's as if someone is tugging at those sensitive nerves in Leo's body!

But fortunately, the pain did not last long, and it stopped after only ten seconds.

Leo took another deep breath.

Then slowly open your eyes......

"Click~!"

His pupils were silvery white, and an arc of electricity jumped out, which disappeared again in an instant, returning to normal.

Only Leo's perspective is abnormal......

He found ...... My sense of touch, hearing, vision, smell, taste, etc. is more keen, and I can more clearly feel the slight coolness of the breeze on my skin, as well as the specific direction; Able to smell the sweet smell of the bakery quite far away; I was able to hear the footsteps of many people looking for themselves.

Overall, Leo's nerves are sharper.

Nerve......

As we all know, bioelectric currents flow in the human body, whether it is pain, taste, or vision, these are all transmitted through the high-speed information transmission of bioelectric currents in the nerves to receive or transmit signals.

So...... Is that electric current-like energy crop actually a way to strengthen the ability to reflex nerves?

If yes......

Leo slammed forward! Then it came to a sharp standstill.

Apparently the movements are smoother than ever, and the increased power is used more freely.

All this made Leo even more convinced that the [Secret Fruit] was his golden finger!

Stealing someone else's life to strengthen yourself? It's a kind of ability to defy the sky!

…… Closing his eyes and sensing whether there were any enemies around him to follow him, after roughly ascertaining their location, Leo carried the ingredients out of the bottom of the bridge, avoiding the black suits and running towards the abandoned factory on the outskirts.

Instinctive...... Leo felt that something must have happened at the Grammys......

……

When Leo returned to the vicinity of the factory on the outskirts, it was already approaching evening. The reason why it took so long was mainly to avoid those kings and calves. And those bastards caused Leo to not dare to go near his home at all.

Because as he approached the factory, the strengthened nerves and senses had sensed a few hidden breaths nearby, and they stared at the factory, waiting for themselves to appear and subdue themselves.

What about the Grammys?

Leo hid in the grass nearby, his eyes swept into the factory, and he didn't find anyone......

Don't......

No, probably not.

By now, Leo had roughly guessed what was going on.

Again, it was because Leo remembered the interest of the guy named Capone Becky.

He's a pretty cruel bastard, an executioner who likes to watch his enemies lose their heads, and he likes to watch blood splatter from his broken neck, which is why the people in the underworld are so afraid of him.

If you think about it, Grammy's father has been fighting against the Gambino family branch on the island, and in Uncle Dante's message, the Gambino family is an old dog of Capone Becky, which proves that the Cillin family does not belong to Capone Becky's power.

If Capone Becky came to Eiffel City to clean up hostile forces and watch the mafia boss lose his head and cultivate his sentiments, then all of this is connected.

Calculating the time, when Capone Becky went to the Sirin family, it was when the Grammy came to play with him with the Devil Fruit, and it could be for some reason after that...... They didn't catch the Grammy, so they thought of themselves, who had always been close to the Grammys, so they wanted to arrest themselves......

So...... Since the Grammys may come back to find themselves, where would they be if they weren't in the factory?

Suddenly, Leo thought of a possibility.

Then he confirmed this conjecture, and quietly left the vicinity of the factory, and went deep into the forest.

When Luffy got along with Sabo and Ace in the original book, they built a treehouse in the middle of the forest, and before that, there was still their treasure hidden in a large tree.

Leo too, he doesn't just have a stronghold.

A clever person has more than one plan!

As a thief, how can there be only one place to hide the treasure?

But strangely...... Leo, the stronghold outside of the factory and the forest, had never told the Grammys, and how did she know?

The sunset in the West Sea is later than in the other three seas, and when the sun sets below the sea level, it is already close to six o'clock in the evening, and the sun in the sky is not as bloody, and the clouds are red as fire, and everything is as quiet as ever. In the sky far from the sun, the deep darkness of the night has fallen, transforming the sky into two levels, as heavy as ink and iron.

Leo walked in the silent forest, where there were no more people, but there were enemies, beasts that hid in the night. The soles of the feet stepped on a clump of grass and trees, and there was a clattering and rustling sound, "chirp" - this was the chirping of some kind of bug, followed by the loud cry of a crow, which set off the environment quite eeriely.

Leo looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and then climbed up a giant tree in front of him.

On top of this, there is a tree hole that Leo dug two years ago, which is the place where he lived before he walked out of the forest, and it is also Leo's hometown, the original home after the crossing.

Climbing to a high place, Leo stepped on the thick branches of the trees, and moved his gaze into the not-so-large hollows.

One in a yellow dress......

The pale girl was sleeping wearily on the hay that covered the hollows of the trees.

Grammy......

Leo was stunned.

Finally laughed with relief.

"Thank God ......"

"You're alive."
