Chapter 568: The Verge
After Locke's refining began, his whole body began to tremble, this was not the effect of refining, but the pain in his soul was manifested in his body, because at this time, the pain in his heart had already begun.
And the action of refining, even if Locke couldn't hold on at this time, it was impossible to stop, because after it started, that energy directly controlled Locke and directly began to refine the Devil Fruit ability.
And it seems that he is afraid that Locke will not be able to hold on and faint, and deliberately every time Locke feels that he is about to faint, this energy will increase the refining of the fruit's ability, and at the same time provide Locke with soul repair and replenishment energy, so no matter how painful it is, Locke just doesn't faint.
Compared with this kind of pain, Locke felt that the ten Manchu tortures that were blown out in his previous life should be trivial, after all, it was too painful to faint, and even fainting became a luxury.
Locke persevered in this boundless pain, and he didn't know how long it had been, his original soul was turning light gray step by step because of the ability to slowly refine the fruit, that is, when his entire soul turned into light gray, Locke felt that the boundless pain was slowly disappearing.
When the pain disappeared completely, Locke's body outside couldn't hold on, and he fell directly to the ground, fainting gorgeously.
It's just that now Locke's consciousness is in his soul, and his consciousness is faint, which does not mean that his soul has also fainted, at this time, Locke, who has completely refined the Devil Fruit, feels that his soul is unprecedentedly powerful, and he slowly flew out of his body.
It's just that on the outside, after Locke fainted, a powerful purple light came out of his body, and then condensed a figure exactly like Locke in front of him, but Locke's eyes were closed.
And the moment the purple phantom appeared in the air, it directly began to grow larger, and then the phantom passed through the small thatched roof and appeared above the entire island, and the phantom at this time had become even bigger than the entire island.
"Roar!"
A huge roar came out of the huge Locke's mouth, and all the animals around them, after hearing this roar, scattered in all directions in fright, and some of the animals on the island were even directly roared to death.
It was after this roar that the huge phantom opened his eyes, that is, the moment he opened his eyes, the whole world was silent, and those animals that had fled from the original truth seemed to be immobilized at this time, motionless and directly stood still, and their souls trembled to varying degrees at this time, as if their bodies began to tremble because of fear.
Fortunately, this feeling only appeared for a moment, and the huge phantom disappeared directly into the entire island, and Locke, who had fainted, also slowly stood up from the formation at this time, patted his chest with some fear, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief after feeling that his heart was still jumping in his chest.
After all, when he was fusing the Devil Fruit ability before, the pain that penetrated deep into the soul, Locke thought several times that he would die in this boundless pain, but the pain on his body kept reminding him that he was still alive, but at this time, the terrifying pain suddenly stopped, and Locke felt a little unreal.
Fortunately, when I touched my chest and found that my heart was still beating, I slowly put my mind at ease, it seemed that I was not dead, but successfully refined.
Then Locke shook his palm, felt his strength stronger, and finally showed the joy of success on his face.
Although this refining is only refining the devil fruit in his body, he doesn't know what he likes to do, in the process of refining, his body is also constantly being strengthened, if Locke at this time is facing Kaido, if he excludes some gaps in his body, just by virtue of the fruit ability, Locke is sure to fight with the opponent for hundreds of rendezvous without defeat.
Of course, Kaido at this time, even his soul was scattered by Emperor Xia, and it was impossible for him to come out to fight with Locke, or if Locke was willing, he might be a phantom of Kaido and come out to fight with himself, which is not impossible, but Locke is not so boring.
It was only after experimenting with his abilities that Locke discovered that the Xia Emperor who was in the house before was gone, leaving only a small desk not far in front of him, with a Devil Fruit on it, and a piece of paper pressed under the fruit, and nothing else.
And through careful observation, Locke also found that there was already a thin layer of ash on top of the various utensils in this hut, which made Locke even more puzzled.
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of a reason, so Locke simply stood up, then patted the dust on his body, and then walked in the direction of the desk, gently picked up the Devil Fruit, and then put the Devil Fruit aside, looking at the paper pressed under the Devil Fruit.
After looking at it for a while, Locke realized why no one existed here, all the things that happened when he entered the Refining Devil Fruit were recorded in it, as well as the reason why they left here.
It turned out that on the second day after Locke began to refine, after Emperor Xia carved out all the formations, a new change appeared on the sea, that is, the Scarlet Legion officially began to attack this world.
The first half of the Great Voyage was basically completely destroyed in one day, and except for some people who hid deeper, they were basically infected by the Scarlet Legion or turned into the best skeletons.
After doing this, the Scarlet Legion did not stop their way forward, and directly entered the four seas with the help of the Upside Down Mountain, hoping to occupy all the four seas.
It's just that the four seas are still very big after all, and the navy's control over the four seas is obviously much stronger than the first half of the Great Route, so their speed has temporarily slowed down when attacking the four seas.
This also gave Whitebeard time to react in the New World.
Therefore, Whitebeard's side also reacted quickly, and when the Scarlet Legion invaded the four seas, they directly organized their forces and launched an attack on Malijoya, and the navy did begin to divert the people of the four seas to the East China Sea, which has the strongest naval control.
At the same time, at the same time, the East China Sea Navy also launched an attack on those original nobles, after all, it was a battle, and it was impossible for them to keep these cloth stability factors to make trouble in their rear.
