『. B' Like a black ghost, roaming the land of Magnife.

The reason why I didn't fly higher was because I didn't want to be discovered by others.

Of course, ordinary people can't perceive it as a stand-in, but people who have seen and heard can be domineering.

At the first time he landed on the port of this island, the body and its sights and hearings were domineering, and they already vaguely felt the unusual atmosphere on this island.

At first, I had a preconceived idea that those breaths that were obviously much stronger than ordinary people, and there were so many of them, probably pirates, hunters, and ordinary masters of the mixed sea who came to this island to participate in the big competition.

But it didn't take long for '. . . B noticed that something was wrong.

Most of the auras that would misunderstand it were gathered in the same place. B』It is speculated that this is the venue where the big tournament will be held.

But there are two other strong breaths on the island, which are far more powerful than the strength of the rest of the stream! If they were also here to participate in some big competition, then this big competition should have been declared over a long time ago. Even if the princess and the king of this island chose a defensive competition similar to that of Nine Snake Island, the other enthusiastic participants should have withdrawn early when they saw those two unconventional masters on stage......

Those two strong men's breaths that exceeded the conventional level were not here to participate in the big competition.

Then, the identity of the ordinary aura that always surrounds those two breaths—these ordinary breaths, which are even weaker than the many people gathered in the arena of the big competition—is worth scrutinizing.

『. B' slowly drifting in the streets and alleys, seeing and hearing domineering, the more you want to improve your accuracy, the more calm you have to be, and when you are most focused, you don't even have time to care about it.

But the good thing is, '. . . B is a "ghost", even on the street, without caring about the crowd.

It suddenly looked up, and in the distance, its sights and hearings caught a passing breath.

This breath is not weak.

It is stronger than many of the breaths of the big competition venue on the side of the royal city;

And it is still flying in the sky...... That is to say, it is very likely that it is a natural ability; After all, according to the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, there are really not many superhuman and animal types with the ability to fly, which can be called rare.

Smoker.

I see...... It's the people of the Navy.

Those two strong breaths seem to be at least admiral-level officers of the Navy Headquarters, and they are probably powerful lieutenant generals. Brigadier generals of ordinary level or even major generals, Sengoku or Marshal Sora, presumably would not be sent to fight with the "Kutiao" who was mixed in with the Nine Snake Pirates of the fighting nation. Xu Lun", "Joe Barna. Giorno "Tough Hit......

However, sending two vice admirals at one time, plus Smoker and a lot of outstanding navies, they really gave the Sengoku a decent face.

It's just, is this level really enough?

『. B』 hovered beside passers-by, followed by a glance at the fresh newspaper in the other party's hand, and casually glanced at the front page news about the "empty note. Xu Lun" and "Joe Bana. Giorno", as well as those relatively clear photographs, flew away calmly and continued to carry out the task given to it by the ontology......

It's two sides of the same coin.

Since it quickly saw the situation on the island, the ontology must be the same.

The vice admirals of the two naval headquarters, plus Smoker and the others...... Since it doesn't care much, then the ontology probably doesn't feel that it cares.

You see, in the perception, the people of the main body and the nine snakes have already entered the arena of the great competition.

『. B' continued to cling to the ground, ignoring any obstacles from walls and houses.

The ontology's instructions were to try to find the so-called "Iron Demon" on this island, that is, the person with the ability of magnetic fruit, when he and Robin returned to the ship, and take the other party's magnetic fruit chip.

The hero of a terrifying legend that circulates in this sea.

Even if its own strength is not strong enough to make '. B』 quickly found out the traces by seeing and hearing the domineering.

He will surely leave many traces on this island.

『. B wandered silently through the towns of Magnife, with all the labyrinthine houses, the walls thick enough to hide mezzanines, the cages that hide filth, and the basements full of blood...... It's all nothing to it; Whispers hiding in any corner may be heard by passing by, and as long as it is interested, the other party's secret will eventually be obediently revealed: don't forget, as Lynch's stand-in, it also copies Lynch's hypnotic ability.

After walking around Magnife Island, using hypnosis to kindly question a dozen people, searching five or six hidden basements on the island—which looked like laboratories but were full of blood, soaked in formalin with stumps and broken arms, and severing the hands of seven or eight thieves, stripping off two second-hand goods that had attempted misdeeds against a good woman and throwing them on a bustling street, and hypnotizing a crying little boy on the side of the road to make her believe that she was the happiest little boy in the world. B』There is a clue to the so-called "Iron Devil" man.

……

"November 21, 1504 in the Lunar Calendar, the weather was good."

"The 20th Comparative Experiment"

"Test material: blood of a healthy man aged 50~60"

"Procedure:"

"The result of the experiment: the same result again, but with the same questions...... Why does human blood feel like seawater, making me feel weak in my limbs? If blood restrains Devil Fruit abilities in the same way as sea water or even ordinary water, why doesn't the blood in my own body have the same negative effect on myself?"

"Experiment Summary: Perhaps, I should try the blood of someone who is also capable of Devil Fruits......

『. B's silently put down the experiment log. Of course, no one hears it even if it is silent......

Dada, dada, dada...... Overhead, the sound of disorderly footsteps approached.

『. B's long and narrow eyes glowed with white light, and they were three kinds of footsteps, and three breaths were approaching.

Approach the entrance to one of the basements of this royal palace.

In the underground laboratory, jars and jars of glass containers sat crimson plasma. Goo, goo...... The stagnant plasma suddenly became agitated, and the shell of the glass container could not reflect the face of the pitch-black stand-in, and it looked back. Rumble...... The entrance door above was opened, and a glimmer of light shone through, reflecting three figures, one of whom said uneasily: "Hey, Lord King, what are you...... Yes!! ”

The plasma in many glass containers swayed slightly, forming a swirl...... A figure pointing to the doorway above.

Magnetic fruit, has it been developed to the extent that it can attract iron in the blood....... B' thought to himself, turning into a phantom and galloping up. At the entrance stood three men, the king, a strong man who looked like a pirate, and Princess Olsen, who followed them quietly. 『. B' grabbed his left fist, covered with blue flame patterns, and stabbed the king in the chest in front of the unaware three, who was pinching the pirate's neck.

……

Burst!

Plasma gushing.

A round hole burst into the man's chest, and he could see the arrows that were diagonally embedded in the ground behind him, and the tail feathers trembled slightly.

Poof, the pirate knelt down, his pupils dilated, and he fell to the ground.

Behind him, the Nine Snake Female Warrior deftly turned over, pulled out the arrow that was infested, put on the snake bow again, bent the bow and shot the arrow, and another sharp arrow galloped out.

Wrapped in a layer of light armament-colored domineering arrows, it swirled through another Nine Snake warrior who was fighting with pirates, swept the hair of Sandasnia, who had turned into a blue snake and was swimming with several sailors in front of her, and passed by Mari Grude, who was slapping all the pirates and sailors away with one palm, and shot straight at the vice admiral with a really strange hairstyle and a strange name called Flying Squirrel, who was slowly drawing his sword......

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's eyes were serious, and when the domineering arrows of the Nine Snake Warriors had already flown in front of him, his blade had fallen on the tip of the oncoming arrows.

The moment the blade collided with the tip of the arrow, it was covered in a layer of pitch-black, and the arrow split in half from front to tail...... Coated with a layer of pitch-black armed domineering long knives, he pulled up a sharp knife light and slashed at Lynch, who was playing with Smoker, but the blade was trampled by a black high heel that fell from the sky.

"He's having fun with his friends, who allowed you to mess with it?"
