Chapter Fifty-Four: The First Test

Sonny.

Chen Mu stood beside Luffy, along with everyone, and looked at Usopp at the bow of the boat.

The long sea breeze, howling by, raised the black curls under Usopp's hat.

His left eye was closed, his breathing gradually became slow and long, and he was engrossed in aiming at a floating object in the distance.

Shout!

A slight sound of breaking the air sounded in everyone's ears.

Everyone stared and saw that there was a small transparent hole in the wooden barrel floating up and down.

Franky, who was trying his best to look from afar, put down his right hand on his forehead, and his tone was a little puzzled: "Isn't that barrel a little strange?" ”

Nami was stunned for a moment, her pretty face was full of doubts, and she said suspiciously, "Isn't it just an extra hole?" Isn't that strange in terms of Usopp's accuracy? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the staring crowd again.

"How are you..."

"Shhhhhh Sauron looked serious and raised his chin at the barrel in the distance.

Nami was stunned and followed Zoro's gaze...

I saw that the wooden keg was slowly melting away at an extremely slow speed.

Nami's pupils shrank, and she covered her small mouth lightly, her face full of disbelief.

"How... Usopp, did you secretly replace the cork with a flame seed? After a brief moment of shock, Nami asked Usopp, who was still calm.

Usopp frowned, still staring at the melting barrel.

...

Moments later, the Sonny approached.

Looking at the barrel that was less than a tenth of the wine remaining, everyone's expressions were serious.

"The old man went down and took a look."

With that, Jinping jumped into the sea with a 'poof' and swam in the direction of the broken barrel.

Seeing Jinping approaching the barrel, Robin, who had a sharp mind, frowned imperceptibly and pursed his lips tightly.

"There's still some left, you wait, the old man will bring this back."

With that, Jinping gently copied it with his right hand and lifted the floating crippled wooden barrel.

"Don't! It's about to be put down. Robin's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly spoke.

But, it's still a step too late...

Holding the barrel alof, Jinpei flung the barrel into the distance as if it were electrocuted. Then his right hand was quickly lowered and he reached beneath the surface of the sea.

Looking at Jinping, whose face was full of pain, a trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

This invisible flame can actually hurt the fish-man Jinping.

You must know that most of Jinping's skills are in the palms of these hands.

He can also defend against it with the Armament Color......

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but lock their eyes on Jinping's black right arm.

Yes, Jinping only reacted now, and wanted to harden the color of the weapon to crush this strange flame.

However.

What everyone saw was that Jinping's forearm was a normal black armed color, and the palm... But it was still his original skin color.

Seem... Cannot override the armament color.

Everyone chuckled in their hearts and looked at Chen Mu as if asking for help.

Regarding Jinping's encounter, Chen Mu also frowned.

He didn't expect that the flame that could make him feel the burning pain was the flame of possession to others.

"In a few minutes, Jinping's palm will be melted away, and if it drags on for a long time, it may burn off the entire arm." Zoro whispered as he pulled out the autumn water, as if he wanted to jump down and help Jinping break his arm.

"Uncle..."Looking at Jinping, whose face was getting paler, Nami pulled Chen Mu's white cloak with anxious eyes.

Chen Mu also has a hard time saying it, this thing, the system doesn't introduce too much.

"I can't ......help it," Chen Mu shook his head with a wry smile, but before he finished speaking, the voice of the system sounded.

[Ding, the Hailou Stone element has been detected nearby, and the burning effect is weakening...]

"You can try Hailou Stone." Chen Mu turned his head solemnly and glanced at everyone left and right.

Hearing the 'method' given by Chen Mu, Sauron, who was about to jump into the sea, was stunned, and the expression on his face instantly became weird.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, which gradually became weird, Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.

What kind of expression do you have, aren't you the ones who want to do it? Look at what I'm doing, go and save people! ...... Chen Mu had a question in his head.

"Big... Uncle, we... There are 4 abilities. Chopper said timidly.

"So what?" Chen Mu looked at Qiao Ba with a frightened face, and slowly spread his hands.

Nami covered her eyes and said helplessly, "So every time we go to the island to buy, we don't pay special attention to this thing." ”

Frankie, who looked calm, also added on the side: "Hailou Stone... I think I've seen it at a black market auction, and it's so expensive that I can buy almost half a Adam tree. ”

Chen Mu: "......"

Good guys, let's just cut off your hands.

Chen Mu, who was powerless to complain, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the prompt of the system.

Detected the presence of a sea tower stone element nearby... Neighborhood......

!!!

Chen Mu, who had figured out the key point, squatted down suddenly and jumped to Jinping, who was struggling to support.

"Jinping! Dive in!! Chen Mu shouted.

Jinping only felt a thunder ring in his ears, and he was in a trance, and he instantly woke up.

At this time, Chen Mu appeared on top of Jinping's head, spread out his left hand, and pressed him under the surface of the sea.

With a 'poof' sound, Chen Mu pressed Jinping's head, dived under the surface of the sea, and headed towards the deep sea.

...

The two of them dived for a while, and the prompt sound of the system sounded in Chen Mu's mind again.

[Ding, the Hailou Stone element has been detected nearby, and the burning effect is weakening...]

Close, just around the corner!

Chen Mu held his breath and raised the speed of his dive by another point.

The surrounding sight became darker and darker, and by the end it was pitch black, and Chen Mu knew that the depth at this time was probably more than a kilometer.

[Ding, a large number of sea building stone elements have appeared nearby, and the burning effect is declining sharply...]

Here it is!

Chen Mu pressed Jinping's figure down again, and with this reaction force, he swam rapidly upward.

You can just stay down there for a while.

...

In the dark silence of the deep sea, a blue-skinned fish-man, with his eyes closed, sat next to a dilapidated warship.

And Chen Mu sat peacefully in the mouth of a black giant whale.

...

A moment later, the giant whale surfaced, and at the same time opened its giant mouth, revealing Chen Mu, who was sitting on his knees.

"Uncle...!" Chopper shouted with joy.

Chen Mu smiled at Chopper with a happy face, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the Sonny.

On the way to the Sonny, the mucus on his body was washed away by the force of the sea.

After a short while, Chen Mu climbed up the rope ladder that Frankie had lowered.

Luffy and the others hurriedly gathered around, their eyes full of anxiety.

Seeing this, Chen Mu smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

When everyone heard this, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and they had great trust in Chen Mu's words.

As the atmosphere on the boat gradually became relaxed, Usopp rolled his eyes, pulled Chen Mu aside, and asked quietly:

"Hey, uncle, is Jinping really okay?"

"Well, it's okay." Chen Mu nodded.

"Oh..."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at him a little strangely.

"How do I feel... You're not very happy to think of him. ”

"No, uncle, don't talk nonsense, how can I, Usopp, be that kind of person, ha... Ha ha. ”

Looking at Usopp with an embarrassed smile on his face, Chen Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Say, what do you want to know." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, uncle is really amazing." Usopp hurriedly gave a thumbs up.

After a pause, he continued: "I just want to know, this... This fire, is it afraid of the sea building stone? ”

Chen Mu nodded.

"Okay, I see—" Usopp walked back to the crowd with a dejected expression.

This guy ...... Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

What Usopp wants, of course he knows.

It's nothing more than an invincible dream shattered.

...

On the other side, the dark deep sea.

He opened his eyes calmly, and the moment his right hand was clenched, the black armed color instantly entwined up.

How can the old man be stumped by just a flame...... The fire of confidence in Jinping's eyes burned again.

Then, he turned his head to look around, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Where is this? How am I here? What about the guy holding my head?

......
