Chapter 257: Reinforcement (I)
Whew-
The wind howled, and the turbulent currents roared and rushed in, smashing into the sturdy hull of the Koi Yudaime.
The sky was overcast, and the lead-gray clouds covered the sky with black oppression, and the goose-feathered snow fell from the sky, accumulating a thick layer of snow on the deck.
The sea is gray,
From time to time, huge icebergs rush out of the sea, making a loud "empty" sound, and soon after, they sink to the bottom of the sea, setting off huge waves.
The strange weather of the new world, more violent than the first half of the Great Voyage,
The Koi is docked next to a small isolated island, its dim lights swaying in the cold wind, quietly waiting for the blizzard to pass.
In the captain's room, a hanging lamp filled with whale oil illuminates the room.
A long table is placed in the center,
There were already quite a few people sitting on both sides.
Ah Jin lay bored in his chair, looking up and counting the gaps in the ceiling; Brooke scrutinized a tattered sheet of music, his head rhythmically pointed, his fingers ticking a few times from time to time; Nikolai handed out the sandwiches he and Sanji had made together; Xingsa held a book of poems with a black cover in his hand, and looked at it intently.
The door to the captain's cabin was suddenly pushed open, and a cold wind poured in.
"Captain, newspaper!" Eden, dressed in a thick winter coat, pushed the door open and walked in.
With a shivering newspaper bird on his head and a newspaper rolled around his waist, he walked around the back of his desk and handed it to Mojing.
Garfidel, who was sitting in a daze, stood up, took the newspaper bird off Eden's head, and held it in his arms:
"You're here to hide from the hail?"
The newspaper bird made a "coo-" call, politely took off its hat and nodded, and flicked the snow off its hat with its wings.
Garfidel excitedly held it up: "Thank you, let's eat stewed seagulls in the evening!" ”
“???”
A few seconds later, the newspaper bird screamed and rushed out the door.
Mo Jing, who was sitting at the end of the dining table, did not look up, quietly looking at the newspaper, and the gray Zhuo Yi shrunk into a small ball on his shoulder, dozing.
- "The Great World Recruitment"
A bold headline on the front page catches your eye,
You don't need to look at Mojing to guess the content, it's nothing more than the loss of too many naval elites in the top war.
In order to maintain global law and order, the Navy had to lower its standards and recruit aspiring people from all over the world to join the Navy.
What surprised Mo Jing more was that
Among the vacated positions, there are actually two positions of admirals!
It stands to reason that even if Akainu was hacked to death by him and Whitebeard, only one general's position would be vacated, and where did the other one come from?
Soon the second page of the newspaper gave him the answer - "Marshal of the Warring States resigns, Admiral Kuzan may become the new marshal!" 》
Pheasant?
Mo Jing's face didn't change much, but reason told him that he should worry about the news.
Because including the dead red dog, among the three generals, only the frozen fruit of the pheasant can really be regarded as his nemesis.
His Neptune bloodline and flowing water swordsmanship will be restrained by ice to some extent,
And the initial fire is not strong in temperature.
If he was really frozen in the ice by the pheasant somehow, he might not be able to escape.
After all, under his command, the candles condensed from the Brooke wax fruit were as strong as steel, and he didn't believe that the pheasant couldn't make a more exaggerated ice cage.
Of course, he didn't think he had to worry too much.
The Navy has not even taken care of its own internal mess now, and it will not have the strength to deal with him for the time being.
And if you give him a little time, he will soon become stronger to the point where the Navy cannot understand.
You know, on the top of the war, so many souls are useless!
He kept looking,
The third edition is a column on Akainu, looking back on his life, praising his bravery, and by the way, squirting a mouthful of white beard and ink wattles. It's totally boring.
There are a few updated bounty slips sandwiched between them.
However, there is no Koi Pirates, probably because there are too many bounties that need to be updated, and a newspaper is not enough.
Squeak –
The door to the captain's cabin was pushed open again, and Robin walked in.
She was wearing a long blue down jacket today, her supple black hair draped down her shoulders and under the hem, revealing her fair legs.
"I'm not late." She asked with a smile.
Before, she and Sanji did not participate in the top war because of their strength and life-saving ability.
Mo Jing placed the two on the island near the Chambord Islands, and handed over most of the ship's treasures to them for safekeeping, so that he dared to smash the ship into the battle on the top.
"Exactly." Mo Jing motioned for her to sit down, put down the newspaper and looked around,
At this moment, except for Moria and Bonnie, the two branches of the Koi Pirates, all the main members of the Koi Pirates have gathered here.
Robin looked at the crew around him without a trace,
Ghost Man-Akin, Nose Song-Brooke, and Cannonball-Garfidel usually feel that it is not obvious, but after witnessing the tragedy of the war on the top, she deeply felt how terrible these guys around her are.
The kind that can cause panic on the entire island if you let any one out.
But at this moment, they all sat quietly on both sides of the table, quietly waiting for the order of the person at the head of the table.
Her mind flashed through the words that Gaffiel had mysteriously said to her not long ago: "Quietly drop tonight, gather the crowd to strengthen!" ”
I laughed softly in my heart.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Mo Jing snapped his fingers.
Expectation appeared on everyone's faces.
Ah Jin took out a box from under his feet, took out a Devil Fruit from it, and handed it to Mo Jing.
- Huangquan fruit.
Mo Jing stretched out his left hand, covered it, looked at everyone, and said calmly: "First solve a legacy problem that everyone cares about." ”
In vitro - "Soul Refinery" activated!
The Initial Fire erupted from the Ring Seal, like a vortex of flames, enveloping the Yellow Spring Fruit,
Just like when it was refined into the "Kui Niu Fruit", the Huangquan Fruit quickly decomposed into countless soul fragments, and was quickly recast in the flames.
Only this time, it was not refined into a solid shape,
Instead, it condensed into a crystalline dagger!
- Magic: "Soul of the Yellow Springs" (one-off)
This is the solution to the loss of humanity obtained by Mo Jing when he entered the state of the Salary King this time - making the Devil Fruit into a one-time magic and injecting it into the body, adding an eternal state to the body!
Mo Jing held the dagger and stabbed the ring seal in the palm of his left hand without hesitation.
Click!
A dazzling blue light flashed,
Dagger smash.
A bone-chilling chill swept over everyone,
When the blue light faded, everyone was presented with the captain's quarters covered in white frost.
Eden hugged his shoulders and shivered, and said tremblingly, "Captain, why don't I go out and warm up?" ”
Mo Jing didn't speak, his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was experiencing something,
A few seconds later, with a snap of his fingers, the initial fire poured out of him and fell on the frost, as if it had encountered some kind of combustible, and swept quickly through the room.
In the blink of an eye, the captain's room returned to its previous warmth.
The people looked at each other,
They all knew that the Yellow Springs Fruit was a devil fruit that the captain used to solve his own problems.
But what the hell is Frost?
Shouldn't it have something to do with the soul?
Brooke seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice, "Yellow Spring Cold? ”
"That's how it should be." Mo Jing opened his eyes, his face was a little strange.
With a flick of the finger, a line of hoarfrost spreads along the table in the direction of the finger.
At this moment, he has added a trait to his trait column for a long time: "Yellow Spring Walker".
The cold air of Huangquan is brought about by this trait.
But it doesn't seem to be as simple as ordinary cold.
He examined his soul and found that on the soul light ball, outside the original three dark rings that seemed to be moth-eaten, countless cold qi filled the air, turning into layers of frost, extending from the edge of the dark ring, shrinking the three leaks of humanity by one-third.
The speed at which humanity is leaking has returned to the level of a second death.
Mo Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone who had been watching Mo Jing's expression also smiled.
"It looks like the problem is finally solved." Xingsa lifted his glasses.
"It's not completely solved yet, but at least it's in the right direction." Mo Jing's voice was brisk.
"Captain, is it our turn?" Eden couldn't help but ask.
Mo Jing put down the matter of "Huangquan Cold Qi" for the time being, leaned back, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's start, who will come first, Ah Jin?" ”
Before the war, he promised everyone that the souls they gained would be used to strengthen themselves.
Now, it's time to deliver on that promise.
Ah Jin held the thermos cup, shook his hand, and said slowly: "Eden will come first." ”
Eden laughed, stood on the stool, and raised his hands: "All eyes are on me!" ”
As he spoke, flames erupted from his hands and he began to throw his soul out.
"This one is Garfidel's, this one is Brooke's, or Brooke's" he treasured.
Soon the table was filled with large and small white balls of light.
"I, Gaffidel, Sinsa, Nikolai, and Brooke are together." Finally, he threw himself in the waist and announced loudly.
Obviously happy with what I have gained.
Mo Jing sensed it carefully for a moment,
Somewhat surprised,
Among these souls, there are actually the souls of two lieutenant generals and the souls of five major generals!
You must know that in the five-person group, except for Brooke, who can fight with ordinary lieutenant generals, Garfidel and Nikolai, who is in an ordinary state, are only at the level of major generals.
With their strength, they were able to obtain seven high-quality souls in the encirclement of countless navies, which greatly exceeded Mo Jing's expectations.
"I blew it up!" Garfidel raised his hand triumphantly.
According to her description, only one lieutenant general was actually killed by their cooperation and the other. She was killed by a bomb that she didn't know where it was going.
"Luck is also part of strength."
Mo Jing picked up the souls of the two lieutenant generals,
"Soul Forging"!
After a slight intervention, two crystals appeared in his hands.
One is armed, one is seen.
The five of them discussed it and decided to give the armed color crystals to Brooke, and the seeing and hearing color crystals to Gaffiel.
One of them is melee and one is ranged, and they are just right for it.
As for the remaining five Major General souls,
Two of them have "Body Skill Crystals", one has "Spear Skill Crystals", and one has never seen "Stick Magic Crystals", and the last one is a blue sky and white clouds, and there are no good things.
The five of them summed up again and gave the "Body Crystal" to Eden and Xingsa, the two weakest guys.
The stick technique was given to Gaffiel.
In the end, only Nikolai was left, and nothing was left.
He sat on the stool aggrievedly like a bear who hadn't eaten honey, looking at Mo Jing with a sad face.
Mo Jing couldn't bear it, so she had to explain to him: "It's not that it doesn't help you strengthen, but your soul structure has changed, and except for domineering and other powers related to the 'heart', it can't act on your soul." ”
"What about my soul?" Nikolai touched his mohican and asked.
Mo Jing said earnestly: "Don't worry, I'll help you save it, when you grow up, don't you, and when there is a suitable one in the future, I'll give you strengthening." ”
Nikolai scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong.
But his attention was soon drawn to the resting, fragmentary lieutenant-level souls,
Mojing refined them into attribute crystals, and made up all the attributes of Eden, Xingsa and Gaffidel to the level of D+.
As for the "spear crystals", "axe crystals", and "artillery crystals" that pop up from time to time. and they were all stuffed to Gaffiel,
Anyway, this girl is walking in the arsenal,
Acrobatics are top-notch, you can learn anything.
The strengthening of the five people came to an end for the time being, and Mo Jing shifted his gaze to Ah Jin.
Ah Jin took a sip of tea without hurry, tightened his thermos cup, put it in his hand, glanced at the triumphant Eden, flipped his palm, ignited the initial fire, and began to leak his soul.
One second, five seconds, twenty seconds, forty seconds
The white ball of soul light rises like a hill!
Everyone in the room opened their mouths wider.
Even Mo Jing was stunned for a second.
"Stupid Taurus, how did you get so many souls!!" Eden jumped up from his stool in excitement.
It's not so exaggerated to kill the navy on the assembly line!
Old God Ah Jin sat down and pinched his thumb and index finger: "Of course, it takes a little skill. ”
The Kui Niu Fruit gave him two special lightning bolts,
One is the "intimidation" that acts on the enemy, causing the enemy to have negative emotions such as fear, and the morale of the enemy to plummet.
The other is an "encouragement" that acts on allies to boost the morale of teammates and increase their combat ability.
Although it is two auxiliary abilities, the advantage of support is that you can mix assists everywhere!
Whether these two lightning bolts act on teammates or enemies, as long as a person dies, there is always a share of the credit for him.
It's not the first achievement, but . The person who made the first effort couldn't pick up the soul, so he had to reluctantly help them put the soul away.
"High is really high!" Mo Jing couldn't help but applaud Ah Jin after hearing this.
Where is this Kui Niu, it's a minotaur!
He sensed through the mark of the Initial Fire, and the number of souls that Ah Jin had harvested was a total of 103.
If it weren't for the fact that these two lightning bolts were too physically demanding, he probably would have to spread his love all over the audience.
Mo Jing took out five lieutenant general's souls from it and put them in the ring seal.
"Soul Forge" begins!
Ah Jin is now superior in physical skills, armed and domineering, and has reached the entanglement stage, and has the ability of the phantom beast species "Kui Niu", even if it is placed in the new world, it can be regarded as extraordinary.
What is lacking is only domineering.
Sparks float out of the fingers, and the soul refining is over,
Mo Jing spread out his palms.
Four big failures in a row
Fortunately, the last soul finally refined a piece of experience crystallization that was domineering.
Ah Jin wiped the cold sweat from his head, took the crystals with both hands, and used them on the spot.
As a result, except for Robin, only Mo Jing himself has not been strengthened.
Mo Jing shook out a white pattern from the ring seal and twisted it, like an ostrich egg, the size of his palm, and the white light carried a bit of domineering soul, and fell into deep thought.
