Chapter 4 from the World Deck Devouring Devil Fruits
"Shhh...... Uhhh!!!h
In the Bega Bunk research room, a terrifying scream suddenly came out, and if the door wasn't closed at this moment, the terrible sound would probably have spread throughout the entire research institute.
"Lieutenant, lieutenant...... Please cheer up!" Gal was completely panicked, not understanding that the lieutenant, who had been fine one second, suddenly fell to the ground and screamed the next. Thinking of the rumors of the Devil Fruit for a while, Gal was a little overwhelmed.
Lieutenant, how am I going to escape if you're dead?
The pain came without warning, and in just an instant, Hobodi felt the pain of his entire body, as if it had been torn apart by a machine from all directions, and then, a strange force in his body that was clearly felt was making his torn body continue to expand, and those torn internal openings were filled by that energy.
"Lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant......!
In front of Gal's eyes, he saw an extremely strange scene, and saw that the chief in his eyes at this moment, his body was constantly expanding outward.
A pair of gripping hands are transforming into a pair of sharp claws, the same is true of the legs, the body is constantly elongated, covered with pink scales, the lieutenant's face is also deformed in a twisted way at the moment, and there seems to be a pair of things bulging on his forehead, that is...... Horn?
In the end, a pink oriental dragon about five meters long was entrenched in the research room at the moment, and Gal couldn't help but tremble when he saw that scene.
"It's a feeling...... His whole body was filled with inexhaustible strength......" The Oriental Dragon Hobodi, who was entrenched on the ground, shook his claws.
After trying to take two or three steps, Hobodi found that he was now on all fours, but he felt the same as walking in a human body, and Hobodi exclaimed, "It's amazing, Devil Fruit!"
Then, glancing at Gar, who was trembling with fear in front of him, "Hey, it's time for us to go." ”
"Wow...... Catfish...... The giant catfish has spoken!" Gal shouted with his eyes open and his mouth open.
Bang dang!
Five claws clenched into fists, and his body swam and coiled, and a punch slammed into Gal's head, and Hopodi glared at him, "Why do you kid react this way." ”
"Lieutenant?" said Garr, stunned.
"Hurry up, don't you want to search and rescue your companions?"
"Eh...... yes!"
The two of them left Bega Bunk's research room, all the way to Building C next to Building D, all the way to Building B and Building A, and their faces became more and more ugly along the way.
The corpses of naval soldiers and death row inmates were lying on the ground one by one, surrounded by traces of chaos, and only a few barely survived, and most of them were blue-faced, short-breathing and white-eyed, which was obviously a sign of excessive gas inhalation.
"Lieutenant, this ......" After hesitating, Gal didn't get an answer from Hopodi, and couldn't hold back any longer. Immediately ran up to a seriously injured companion, crouched down and shouted, "Hey, are you still conscious?
Although Hobodi didn't care about the life or death of the Navy soldiers in this research building, he had used Barrett's sniping secret to even want them all to die and let his secret be buried underground. However, seeing the soldiers on the ground who were wailing miserably, including some non-commissioned officers whose rank was not lower than him, it was inevitable that a trace of sadness would arise.
I'm afraid that at the time of the explosion, except for the unit that protected the genius Vegabunk who escaped, most of the troops that remained in the institute were abandoned now!
"Let's count a few if we can memorize them! Hopodi sighed. As he spoke, he came to the two naval soldiers and carried their bodies on either side of his shoulders.
"Gone, Gal!"
Gal picked up a badly wounded Navy man and nodded. There were a few soldiers who were seriously injured and lying on the ground and couldn't move at all, and one soldier stretched out his hand with difficulty, looked at the two with begging eyes, and said weakly: "Help...... Help me!"
Gal's body trembled, Hopodi's face was expressionless, and the three navy soldiers who were rescued by the two were silent for a while, everyone knew that they couldn't save these seriously injured navy soldiers at all.
Seeing that the two of them did not look back at all, the soldier was even more desperate, and finally could only say with tears in his eyes: "Then, help me take care of my wife and daughter...... Their names are—"
"Poof!"
Suddenly, I saw a sudden attack of a sword slash, and the soldier's outstretched hand struggled, and the last name in his throat he wanted to shout couldn't be said.
A machete had slit his neck, and the soldier's eyes had faded from life, and he fell to the ground without a blink of death.
The man was a tall man, armed with a machete, dressed in prison uniform, with long maroon wavy hair covering his face and a long, hideous scar.
"'Machete' Ron!" Gal cried out angrily, the pirate had killed his companion in front of his eyes, and he didn't even say the name of his companion who wanted to protect his wife and daughter.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that there is a living navy in this research institute, and there is also a non-commissioned officer. Ron stared malicefully at Hobodi, who was dressed in a navy cloak.
Hopodi put down the two Navy soldiers on his shoulders and turned to look at the tall man opposite, this guy was replaced by Trafalgar Rowe with a spider leg four years later, and then Monchi D. Luffy was killed in a single move because he was angry at seeing that his leg was not an animal leg.
However, for the kind of terrifying freak who plays a trick in seconds, it is also a great obstacle for him now, in the research institute where gas is full of poison gas.
"You really don't have any hope of escaping from the Institute?" Whether it was Doron before or the guy in front of him, it was at this critical juncture to hinder him.
Ron laughed: "Navy, you don't need to talk about it in Building D before, that group of idiots in Doron will actually listen to you and be killed by you, don't treat me as that simple-minded person." Hmph, hahaha, I won't let you go, so let's be buried with me...... Navy!"
Hobodi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Have you been to Building D?"
"That's right, both the navy and the pirates there have been killed by Lao Tzu, and the next survivors of this naval scientific research base, Lao Tzu will kill you one by one!"
Hearing that Ron had killed everyone in Building D, Hopodi breathed a sigh of relief, so that his sniper rifle secret would not be exposed, and of course, for the pirate in front of him, he had been to Building D and must have known some kind of information.
After some consideration, Hopodi's eyes changed, and he once again felt the pain in the Begabunk research room, and in less than a moment, Hopodi had turned into a five-meter-long pink oriental dragon, kicking his hind limbs and legs, and his whole body was like an arrow, directly attacking Ron.
Ron was not in a hurry, and raised the machete in his hand to slash in the direction where Hopodi came: "Stupid, even if it is a Devil Fruit ability, no one dares to face Lao Tzu's machete!"
"Really?" Hobodi couldn't deny it, the sweeping outburst, a dragon claw clenched violently, and at the same time, in an instant, the strange power in the body seemed to have all converged on the dragon claw, this feeling seemed to be an illusion, Hobodi had no time to think about it at the moment.
The enemy was right in front of him, facing the machete, and he didn't have the slightest cowardice towards his dragon claw.
Sa!
The direction in which the machete fell, the Hopodi dragon claw snapped up, and the fierce claw strike swung through the air, causing a strong wind.
Sonor!
It seemed to be like the sound of two metals colliding, and it sounded in the research institute, permeating the gas poison gas, and swept up a wave of air in a radius of about half a zhang.
Crunch――
"Hummhahahaha......" Hearing this, Ron couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Navy, your dragon claws are indeed very hard, but ......"
Hopodi was undeniable: "But your knife is more brittle!"
As his words fell, I saw a strange scene in the field, the huge machete, began to make the same creaking sound as just now, it was not the sound of his knife slashing the opponent's dragon claw as Ron thought, but the sound of the dragon claw grabbing his machete.
"This ...... How is this possible!" Ron's eyes widened as he watched as the fragments of his machete fell one by one, leaving only one hilt left.
Hobodi stared at him expressionlessly: "I don't have time to entangle with you, get out of here!"
The dragon's claws reached out again, grabbed Ron's head with one claw, and threw it against the iron wall not far away, Ron's body flew out, gravity hit the iron wall, and sunken in, his eyes turned white, and he had passed out.
In the rear, Gal and several other Navy soldiers watched the scene in shock, and did not recover until Hobodi recovered his body.
"Let's go!" Hopodi picked up the two Navy soldiers on his shoulders, his face turned blue, and quickly ran towards Building R66, with Gal following close behind.
