Chapter 32: The Duel
Poor Princess Vivi, since she went undercover and entered the 'Baroque Studio', she has made her personality very funny in order to disguise, and for a long time, she is almost unable to distinguish which is her own real character.
Because of this, she played the 'annoying role' very into the play, not to mention Luffy who couldn't help but move, even Jing Tian had a ruined expression, and after seeing Princess Vivi being knocked down, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her face, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
I learned from Nami that this was originally Kulokas' territory, and the Straw Hats immediately tied up Princess Vivi and Mr. 9.
Shaoqing Kulokas swam back and explained to everyone the identities of Princess Vivi and Mr. 9, and the Straw Hats no longer had any good feelings for the two of them.
Later, the Straw Hats left Rab's body through the gate, and Jing Tian and Nami also stopped staying, because almost all the treasures that were easier to find in the sea of stomach acid had been picked up by Jing Tian, and the remaining treasures were very deep and very difficult to find, so with Nami's mercy and spare, Jing Tian officially announced the end of the work.
"The Great Voyage deserves to be the Great Voyage." On the way out of the Golden Adventure, Nami looked at the pile of treasures and was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "As soon as we entered, we harvested about 80 million Baileys' treasures, which is like that poor place in the East China Sea, I have barely managed to make up 100 million Baileys for so many years." β
"On the sea, the most profitable thing is the head of those pirates." Jing Tian said while taking the helm: "It's too easy to want Bailey. β
"You said before that you want to buy Devil Fruits in the future?" Nami remembered something and confirmed it with Keiten.
"Ah, if I'm lucky enough to come across one in advance, then I can make a 'Devil Fruit Radar' after researching, otherwise I'll have to find a place to buy one to study."
"What is a radar?" Nami was puzzled.
"It's a probe." Jing Tian replied, "With that thing, if there is a Devil Fruit nearby, the detector will react and mark the approximate location of the Devil Fruit. β
"What do you want so many Devil Fruits for? Each person can only eat one thing. Nami said suspiciously, "Or do you want to pick the one with the most ability?" Besides, isn't your current strength already very strong? Why do you still eat Devil Fruits, don't forget, you can't go to the sea after eating Devil Fruits, which means that your strength is limited. β
"It's just research, so I'm not going to eat that." Jing Tian roughly explained: "I want to figure out how the ability of the 'Devil Fruit' came about, what is the principle, if I study it thoroughly, I can use those abilities without eating the Devil Fruit in the future, imagine how fun it will be." β
"Cut, since ancient times, I haven't heard of anyone who has researched the 'Devil Fruit' with any results, can you do it." Nami was clearly not optimistic about Keizen's idea.
"It's just that you don't know." Jing Tian chuckled: "The World Government has already researched some results, including the ability to make inanimate things produce 'Devil Fruits', including replicating 'Devil Fruits', of course, the latter research does not have complete results. β
"You know again." Nami was speechless.
"It's not that I know it, I just happen to know it." Jing Tian smiled perfunctorily, and at the same time sailed the ship out of the metal gate and re-entered the outside sea.
Boom -
Hachi lifted the manatee moo from under the sea, hung up the reins, and began to pull the boat, approaching the shore where the lighthouse was located.
And the appearance of the manatee moo immediately caused the Straw Hats to shout.
Luffy, in particular, had his eyes lit up, lying on the side of the boat as if he was going to jump out at any moment, and leaning forward as much as he could under the pull of that Jenner, his mouth turned into an O-shape in surprise.
"Cool~~~~ so cool-" Luffy screamed, his eyes glued to Moo's body, and kept shouting, "I want it!" I want that! That's cool! β
"Calm me down!" Jenna yelled while dragging Luffy hard, "Don't be so rude, that's someone else's stuff!" β
"But I just want it......" Luffy muttered with a bitter face, as if he had been wronged, "Jenna, how much money do we have?" Let's buy that manatee! β
"Shut up! Who's going to sell it! Jenna was very depressed, and said with her hand on her forehead: "You don't think about it, there are only two people in the whole boat, if there is no manatee to pull the boat, how can they sail?" So don't think about it, they won't sell. β
"Isn't there a small one?" Luffy was serious, raised his hand and pointed to Hachi, who was sitting on top of the manatee's head, and said to Jenna, "Let's buy the big one, and they still have the small one to pull the boat." β
"Huh?" Luffy didn't say that Jenna hadn't paid attention yet, but when he looked at it, he suddenly saw Hachi.
Jenna was a subordinate of Monchi D. Dragon, so she had naturally seen the world, and immediately said in amazement, "How come they still have fish people?" β
"Mermaidβ?" Sanji automatically rearranged the words he had heard in his ears, and suddenly his eyes bent into a heart shape, and he looked at Hachi with a stupid expression.
His expression froze instantly, and Sanji shook his head in disbelief and said, "What, I thought it was a mermaid......"
"I don't care, I just want that manatee!" Luffy looked willful, and hugged his shoulders with his hands with an awkward expression.
"I don't care, you have to say it yourself." Jenna completely gave up the hard persuasion, reluctantly turned around and left, shaking her head and saying, "Really, can't you go through your brain before deciding anything......
"Hey-" Luffy didn't listen to Jenna's words at all, and immediately leaned on the side of the boat and shouted to Keizen and Nami, "How much is your manatee?" Sell it to me! β
"Huh?" Nami was inexplicable, and turned her head to glance at Luffy with an unhappy face.
"Hey, hey, hey, that manatee is so cool, sell it to me!" Luffy grinned and repeated it again.
"Don't even think about it!" Nami screamed back, "Who will sell it to you." You big idiot! β
"Hee-hee-hee-hee, okay, sold it to me, how much does it cost?" Luffy was completely immersed in his own world, and immediately said.
"Bastard! Listen to me! That's what I said! Definitely won't sell it to you! Nami exclaimed angrily.
"Hey, manatee!" Luffy took Nami's words as the wind in his ears and shouted directly at Moo, "Come here!" From now on, you will be our boatman! β
Syllable!
Nami put her hand on her forehead, sighed heavily, then raised her head and said to Hachi, "Hachi, let Moo speed up, let's stay away from that idiot." β
"Okay, Nami-sama." Hachi responded.
"Wow - that thing speaks!" Luffy suddenly screamed in shock, his eyes lit up again, and he swished Hachi.
"What the hell were you listening to?" Usopp slashed Luffy on the head with a knife and complained, "Didn't Jenna say just now, that's a fishman!" β
"Fish-people? Cool-" Luffy was very excited, and shouted to Hachi again, "Hey the fish man!" Be my partner! β
"Luffy!"
Jenna, Sanji, and Usopp roared helplessly at the same time, and even Zoro looked faceless.
On the other side, Jing Tian raised his hand and pressed Nami's shoulder, interrupting Nami's roar, then shook his head, smiled and walked to the side of the boat, lying on it and looking directly at Luffy.
"Sell me the cooks and swordsmen on your ship." Jing Tian said with a smile.
"Bastard, do you want to fight...... Sanji's face instantly darkened, and Zoro didn't get much better, glancing at Jing Tian very unhappily.
"Impossible!" Luffy firmly refused: "Sanji and Zoro are my companions!" I won't sell it to you! Besides, they're not cargo! β
"Oh, I see." Jing Tian made a look of sudden realization, then raised the corners of his eyebrows lightly, and said to Luffy: "But Hachi and Moo are also my companions, but you treat them as goods, is that okay?" β
"Huh? They're your companions......" Luffy looked embarrassed, entangled.
"Are you pirates?" Luffy thought for a long time and suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?" Jing Tian said with a smile.
"Stupid, they didn't fly the pirate flag." Zoro reminded Luffy from the sidelines.
"Oops, how is this supposed to be a good ......" Luffy scratched the back of his head helplessly.
"Hehehe...... Jing Tian chuckled, looked at Luffy and said, "What?" If we're pirates, you can grab it? β
"yes." Luffy nodded honestly.
At this moment, the two ships had already docked one after another, and Kulokas, who had not spoken for a long time, jumped off the 'Golden Adventure', and then with a playful smile on his face, he turned back to Luffy and the others and said, "Aren't you pirates?" Don't pirates grab whatever they like? β
Luffy was stunned.
"Shut up! You bastard old man! Nami yelled at Kurokas with sharp teeth, "You old bastard who is not afraid of big things! β
"Aha......" Kurokas laughed wildly as his little thoughts were completely right for Nami.
"yes, we're pirates." Before the others could express their opinions, Usopp immediately clenched his fists and slapped his palms, and suddenly suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Jing Tian with great vigor, raised his chest and raised his head and shouted, "Did you hear that!" We're pirates! Hand over that manatee! Otherwise, we'll shoot! β
"Hmph." Zoro was a little upset, and turned his head to pay attention to the current farce.
Jenna's previous identity was a revolutionary army, and she had seen a lot of life and death, so she didn't express her position.
Sanji frowned, lowered his head with a flat face, took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter, and took a deep breath.
"I've been ......aware of this since I got on the boat with you," Sanji said in a deep voice, "Captain, you make a decision, it's ...... anything."
As soon as he said this, Sanji suddenly noticed Nami on the other side, and suddenly opened his mouth in shock, and his temperament changed instantly, jumping up and down and pointing at Nami and shouting, "Go to war!" War! Grab that beautiful lady! β
"Idiot, you! What the hell are you paying attention to! Zoro and Jenna yelled at Sanji at the same time.
"Hehehehe......" Nami suddenly laughed, glanced at the Straw Hats, and then turned her eyes to Luffy, who had always been silent, and then with a charming smile on her face, she tilted her head slightly and said to the Straw Hats, "You plan to rob us?" β
"Did I hear you right?" Without waiting for the Straw Hats to respond, Nami suddenly turned her head in disbelief and said to Jing Tian, "They actually want to rob us." β
"Damn woman, are you looking down on us?" Zoro was annoyed, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the very contrived expression on Nami's face.
"I just look down on you, what's wrong?" Nami immediately changed her face, turned her head and pinched her waist with both hands, and glanced at the Straw Hats with a gloomy face and said, "I really don't know how thick the sky is, when I was in Rogue Town, if it wasn't for us to release water, what do you think!" Will you be able to escape from that island? β
"Huh?" Zoro was surprised, squinted his left eye and raised his right eyebrow, opened his mouth, and said with a look of disbelief: "What's the matter with you?" β
"Okay, Nami." Jing Tian smiled and raised his hand, stopping Nami from continuing to argue with the other party.
Turning his head to look at the shore, Jing Tian said to Kulokas, who was always smiling: "I said old man, it's only been a short period of time, and you like them so much?" β
"What nonsense, you stinky boy." Kulokas immediately denied it.
"Hehehe......" Jing Tian chuckled for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, for the sake of the face you gave us so many treasures, I will teach them for you." β
"I didn't say anything." Kulokas continued to shake his head in denial.
"Heh......" Jing Tian used his hands slightly, supported his body and climbed over the railing of the side of the ship, and landed on the reef.
Hooking his finger at the Straw Hats, Jing Tian said lazily: "Come, come over and eat some lessons, it will be good for you in the future." β
"Bastard! Fight! Yamaji was annoyed and rolled up his sleeves and yelled at Jing Tian.
"Oh? Last time, I was curious about your strength. With an excited smile on his face, Zoro slowly pulled out his knife a little and said, "You can defeat Bucky and his gang by yourself......
"IβI'm not afraid of you!" Usopp blew up his small confidence, bluffed behind Jenna, and craned his neck to shout to Jing Tian, "I have 20,000 men!" β
"Shut up!" Luffy had been standing silently on the side since just now, and because of his bowed head, his expression was completely obscured by the shadow of the straw hat, and at this time he suddenly let out a loud shout, causing Zoro and Sanji and others to shut down and look back at him.
Slowly raising his head, Luffy raised his hand and pressed the straw hat on his head, a pair of slightly shining eyes looked at Jing Tian from the shadows, and said in a soft and serious tone, "You are the captain of that ship, right?" β
"Yes." Jing Tian nodded.
"Alright, my name is Monchi D. Luffy." Luffy grinned, "I'm the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and I'm the man who wants to become the king of the pirates!" Let's duel! β
After Luffy finished speaking, he jumped off the boat with a 'hey', stood about ten meters away from Jing Tian, and then said with a smile: "It's great that you have the strength, let's decide the winner and decide the ownership of that manatee." β
"Jing Earles, an adventurer." Jing Tian Hui introduced himself and said to Luffy with a smile, "I agreed, but I need to remind you that this is not a duel, but a lesson I unilaterally taught you." β
"Whatever you want." Luffy grinned unconcernedly, and then hooked his fingers at the corners of his mouth, and his entire face suddenly opened horizontally, clearly revealing his back molars.
"I'm a rubber man who ate a Devil Fruit, you have to be careful."
"I think it's easier for you to go together." Jing Tian didn't care, but looked at Zoro and the others and said with a smile.
"Bastardβ" Sanji gritted his teeth.
"No, it's just the two of us, both captains." Luffy let his face recover, then smiled and took a step back with his right foot, his body leaned down, and he raised his hand to take a fighting stance.
"Heh......" Jing Tian chuckled, slowly clenched his right hand into a fist and brought it to his waist.
"Ahem...... Take it easy. Kurokas suddenly spoke, as if he was worried about Jing Tian.
Jing Tian rolled his eyes, ignoring the bastard old man who ate inside and out.
"I'm going to get on it." Luffy reminded with a smile, then retracted his right arm and shot out of thin air quickly: "Rubber rubber - gun!" β
Sou!
Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out and quickly struck at Jing Tian's chest, and his fist came to Jing Tian in the blink of an eye.
"Heh......" Seeing that Luffy was releasing water and didn't hit him in the head, Jing Tian couldn't help but chuckle to the side of his body.
The long rubber arm flew past Jing Tian's chest, and the fist was still stretching out into the distance.
Jing Tian raised his hand and grabbed Luffy's arm without moving fast or slowly.
"Rubber-whip!"
At this moment, Luffy's roar sounded again, and then his right leg suddenly stretched out and swept towards Keiten's waist.
Jing Tian was unmoved, stretched out his hand again, and then both hands made a 'snap' sound at the same time, his right hand grabbed Luffy's arm that was not retracted, and his left hand grabbed Luffy's swept calf in his hand.
"I don't have enough strength." Jing Tian chuckled, and suddenly pulled his arms back hard.
"Huh?" Luffy let out a low snort, and his body was suddenly dragged up by Jing Tian, quickly approaching Jing Tian.
However, Luffy was not nervous, and his head suddenly tilted back during the flight, and his neck instantly stretched.
The body quickly came to Jing Tian, and then Luffy's long neck instantly contracted, and he blinked into Jing Tian with his head, and roared at the same time: "Rubber - bell!" β
With a smile on his face, Jing Tian quickly shrank to his waist after letting go of Luffy's arm with his right hand, clenching his fist.
At the same time, in the face of Luffy's head-on, when the other party was about to collide, Jing Tian suddenly turned his head quickly.
Sou!
Luffy's head with the sound of breaking through the air instantly brushed Jing Tian's ears and continued to fly forward.
"Oops! It's too much! Luffy exclaimed with a grin.
The corners of Jing Tian's mouth curled, and his right fist instantly hooked out in front of him.
Boom!
A huge echo sound appeared in the air, and Luffy's one-legged body in front of Jing Tian was suddenly unsuspectingly hit in the abdomen by this punch.
"Huh?" Luffy didn't scream in pain or anything, but let out a soft sigh in his mouth, and at the same time quickly retracted his neck and retracted it on his shoulders normally, Luffy's body quickly arched backwards and flew out.
"It's kind of interesting." Jing Tian was not surprised, and at the same time did not go up to pursue, but withdrew his fist and looked down.
The punch just now was not a simple force blow, Jing Tian added 'stacking energy' to that punch, and after hitting Luffy's abdomen, a total of three waves of punch strength were similar to Luffy's body.
But even so, Luffy still didn't suffer any damage, so Jing Tian finally really saw Luffy's 'rubber fruit' ability to resist hits.
Sneering -
After Luffy landed, he slid on the ground with both feet, and slid more than five meters before he stopped.
Patting his stomach, Luffy muttered with curiosity, "It's strange, it's a strange feeling, it's the first time I've felt it." β
"Luffy, are you alright?" Jenner's inquiry rang out on the boat.
"Well, it's totally fine." Luffy turned his head and replied with a grin, then turned to look at Jing Tian with a slightly serious look on his face.
"I'm a rubber man, so your fists can't hurt me at all, unless you use a sword."
"Idiot!"
Several angry roars sounded one after another, and Zoro and the others were speechless, not knowing how to evaluate Luffy's self-destructive approach at all, so they could only vent it with the word 'idiot'.
"Heehe......" Luffy laughed heartlessly, "It's okay, he doesn't have a weapon, so he can't hurt me." β
"That's not necessarily~" Jing Tian curled the corners of his mouth, and the dark color on his right hand flashed, and finally returned to its normal color.
Luffy and the others didn't know, but Nami and Kurokas raised their eyebrows.
"Ahem......" Kurokas had to remind again.
"Shut up! You bastard old fellow! Nami leaned out of the side of the ship and yelled at Kurokas underneath the ship.
"What's wrong? Well, it doesn't matter. Luffy was attracted to attention, but immediately stopped caring and raised his fist to remind Jing Tian, "I'm going to continue." β
"Ah, be careful." Jing Tian also reminded, raised the fist wrapped around the 'invisible detachment domineering', and said with a smile: "If you are hit by me, it will hurt very much." β
"Impossible." Luffy didn't believe it, so he didn't say anything more, and his figure instantly rose to the sky.
After jumping about twenty meters high, Luffy stretched out his bent right leg to Jing Tian and shouted at the same time: "Rubber rubber - seal!" β
Boom!
Instantly stretched out his legs, kicked the air through, and made a loud popping sound, Luffy's right foot quickly stepped on the top of Keiten's head.
Jing Tian moved sideways, easily dodging the kick from high in the air, and then raised his hand again.
However, this time Luffy learned wisely, and as soon as his right foot touched the ground, he quickly retracted, causing Keitama's grasping action to stop halfway.
"Rubber, rubber, tomahawk!"
Luffy's shout was heard again in the air, and after his right leg was retracted, his left leg was raised high above his head, and then he slashed down hard.
Boom -
The target of this foot was not Jing Tian, but the ground in front of Jing Tian.
As soon as he stepped down, the stones on the ground suddenly exploded, and large stones quickly flew in all directions...... (To be continued.) )
