Chapter 61: Devil Fruit
"The queen is in a bitter battle, but victory will prevail—"
Puff,
The silver bayonet sword slashed across the middle-aged poet's arm, causing his otherwise impassioned piano sound to be chaotic.
"After watching it for a long time, even a monkey should know your ability."
Captain Swift the Black Snake, with a gloomy face and a triumphant cap adorned with ornate feathers, swung his sword and forced the Fruit Inspiration to the brim.
"Use the sound of the harp and poetry to make those knights stronger, so that your 'queen' can stalemate with Balph Tani..."
With a wave of the silver sword in his hand, he instantly crossed the trajectory of a pentagram in the air, and the veteran pirate captain of the North Sea, with a bounty of 45 million, was indifferently approaching the poet who was retreating.
"It's all over."
It's a pity...
The gloomy captain's gaze fell on the battlefield that everyone avoided: although the Queen of Jorah was already strong, it was clear that Balph Tani was stronger, and she could suppress the opponent with her fists and kicks alone.
As a sea pirate who once had an era with the 'Black Captain' and crisscrossed the North Sea, but now he has to succumb to the daughter of the Black Captain, the pirate captain named Swift is naturally unwilling in his heart.
Originally, he hoped that the country would teach Balph Tani a lesson, and that it was better to keep that arrogant woman here, but now it seems that it is no longer possible.
With that in mind, the gloomy captain's bayonet sword stabbed forward into the air, and a silver light shot out towards the poet.
"Sky Breaking Sword!"
Flying Slash,
This is a 'ranged attack' that a swordsman has when he has reached a certain level of strength!
In fact, Swift's strength is far more than 45 million, but in order not to attract the attention of the Navy Headquarters, he never leaves a living mouth for plundering, let alone bragging about his king, and keeping a low profile is his creed.
Puff,
The sharp silver sword light split the gold and broken stones, instantly cutting a smooth crack on the ground that was tens of meters long. Even a rock statue located at the back of the battlefield was easily pierced by the sword light.
"Huh?"
But the poet who is the gaze did not die, because at the moment of crisis, a figure leaped forward and pulled him away from the path of the gloomy captain's sword light.
“··· You are? ”
"Now is not the time to introduce each other,"
The reason why Rosie rescued this middle-aged poet was naturally because of the other party's Devil Fruit ability.
"You're eating the 'Inspiration Fruit,' aren't you?"
"Give me a buff... Ahem, use your fruit abilities on me. ”
"This..."
The fruit of encouragement is a sharp weapon for the legion's combat. In Rossi's memory, Belo Betty, the future commander of the Revolutionary Army's 'Eastern Army', used his fruit ability to inspire a group of civilians, and even took down the Peachbeard Regiment with a bounty of 52 million.
Although the victory was a matter of course under the pressure of the four army commanders, it also showed that the Fruit of Inspiration had greatly improved the others.
"Your queen is almost overwhelmed, what is there to hesitate?"
Rossi, who could only fight with one hand, raised his chin to the battlefield on the other side,
"Or is there any limit to your abilities?"
"I'm sorry, but there's only a limit to the amount of poetry that can be blessed. - But now that many knights have been sacrificed, I will bless you with my strength. ”
Ignoring his bleeding arm, the middle-aged poet played the piano in his hand again, and at the same time, a subdued chant sounded.
"Those who are fighting, don't give up;"
"Warriors from afar, who will fight alongside us—"
As the middle-aged poet played and sang, a force erupted from Rossi's body! The rapid influx of his limbs made his already full muscles suddenly swell into a perfect curve, and his height was even more than ten centimeters taller out of thin air!
"Is this the effect of the 'Encouraging Fruit'?"
Suddenly clenched his fist, and the air in his palm made a popping sound! It turned out to be forcibly squeezed out by Rosie's huge power.
"It's a power that makes people feel as if they can do anything."
Having become a muscular teenager on the outside, Rosie feels full of strength! In every move, he far surpassed himself who used the explosive technique 'Fei Lian' before.
"Your Excellency, please help our Queen!"
There was a middle-aged poet's urging behind him, and Rossi's target was originally the leader of the pirates, 'White Dragon' Balf Tani, and immediately kicked his feet and headed towards the battlefield that no one dared to approach.
"Be careful yourself!"
A dozen more armored knights surrounded him, protecting the middle-aged poet, but it was still an unknown question of how long the gloomy pirate captain could hold on.
So the strengthened Rossi must fight quickly.
————
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"
Houses shattered, buildings collapsed. In the midst of wild laughter, Balph Tani had a hint of appreciation in her tone.
"As the Queen, your strength is much beyond my expectations."
Jorah, who was suppressed by her, didn't have time to speak, and just fending off the opponent's attack required her full strength.
"It's rare for me to meet an opponent who can fight hard, and I hope you don't disappoint me in the future—I just used 'normal' punches before!"
?
Without waiting for Jorah, who was surprised in her heart, to react, the woman in the black hair and white shirt threw another punch.
An eerie white chill gathered in Balph Tani's fist, and it was clear that he was beginning to use his Devil Fruit abilities.
Rumble!!
The punch rolled up the sand of the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Jora. A frenzy of energy is forming a cone-shaped storm of ice with Balph Tani's fists, shattering everything that stands in its way!
"The Iron Fist of the White Dragon!"
?!
"Little Red Riding Hood—"
At the critical moment, Jorah reached out again and grabbed the dress on her body, and pulled out a red cloak and wrapped it around her body.
This is a piece of armor that he made by changing the material with the 'fruit of art', and it has the function of 'protecting the wearer from harm'.
But in the final analysis, this is just a Devil Fruit ability creation, and how much effect it can exert depends on the strength of the eater-
Thundered!
With a loud bang, Chorah, wrapped in a red cloak, flew backwards and crashed deep into the dock building behind her, which collapsed into a bottomless hole that engulfed Jorah's body.
"Don't fall so fast, I'm just getting interested——?!"
The abnormal flow of cold around her body made Balph Tani turn quickly, and behind him was a teenager who approached him at some point, and the sailor knife in his hand slashed silently.
If it weren't for the cold air released, Balph Tani, who didn't even notice the other party's approach, didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively crossed her arms to stop the knife.
Sonorous!
With the screeching sound of metal, the sailor's knife dragged a canopy of sparks across Balph Tani's arms, but it couldn't inflict even the smallest wound on her.
Instead, her sleeves burst openly, revealing a pair of arms covered in tiny white scales.
"Who are you?"
Subconsciously asked the raider behind him, and without waiting for the other party to answer, Balph Tani flipped his wrist and directly clasped the opponent's weapon with five fingers.
"It's good, but it's a pity-"
The five fingers tightened, and the sturdy sailor's knife shattered with a click.
"The weapons are terrible!"
Tsk, this guy is also so strong that he fouls...
In Rosie's domineering perception, the woman in front of her is simply not a person, but a behemoth monster!
"Ahem,"
At this time, the hollowness of the building behind Balf Tani,
A staggering figure came out against the wall, it was Jorah in a tattered dress.
"You are... The boy,"
Although Rossi has risen a lot taller, Jorah's three-dimensional facial features and short flowing blonde hair still make Jorah recognize him.
"Oh, is that your reinforcement?"
The voice behind her made Balfour Tani subconsciously glance back, for a master like her, even if she is besieged, she is not afraid, because she has seen and heard of the color tyrant-
?!
At this moment, the figure of the young man who had just stabbed her flickered, and disappeared into her domineering perception of what she saw and heard.
Worst!
As soon as this thought came to mind, a series of 'sonorous' and piercing loud noises sounded in the battlefield, as if dozens of blacksmith shops were working at the same time, and hundreds of huge bells were ringing at the same time.
With the ability of silence to instantly block the perception of the other party's sights, hearings, and colors, Rossi's figure that exploded with all his strength swam rapidly, and the dagger he pulled out fell on Balph Tani's body dozens of times in a row, but it was blocked by white scales that appeared under the opponent's skin.
"That's enough,"
In the unpleasant roar, the temperature around Balve Tani dropped sharply, the air instantly liquefied and solidified, and the short vacuum formed a huge whirlwind, enveloping countless swirling ice and exploding towards the white hairs in all directions!
"The roar of the white dragon!"
Before the raging icy energy, everything was as crispy as cheese. The dense cracks like cobwebs on the ground swam in all directions with the battle site as the center, as if thousands of poisonous snakes were walking close to the ground, more and more, bigger and bigger.
Nearby buildings are crumbling and in ruins, and houses farther away creak and crumble.
