Chapter 137: Work hard
The so-called domineering of seeing and hearing is the ability to perceive breath.
If you go further, you can even predict the short future!
In ancient times, however, it was the opposite.
It is not "predicting the future", but "seeing the past".
Feel the breath of the past and concretize it into a "trace" that can be observed.
……
There are many attempts at this point.
For example, a piece of ground.
How many people were passing by? In what order? How strong is it? Are you even in a good mood?
All of these things can be seen from the "traces".
The stronger the sense of presence, the more conspicuous the "traces" it leaves behind, and the more intuitive it is perceived.
……
In summary.
When Iceberg mentions that their secretary "Cocoro" has been kidnapped, Lindsay has already begun to see and hear about ancient times.
Many traces come into view, and there are some bad intentions among them.
But just as he was about to perceive it further, an extremely dazzling trace suddenly broke in.
Tearing Lindsay's sight apart, bringing a deep surge in an attempt to tear Lindsay's consciousness apart!
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Lindsay finally came back to his senses a little.
Memories came to mind, matching "traces" with "it", and Lindsay was extremely convinced.
"Aquaragna?"
That trace is the one left behind by the huge tsunami!
It was a terrifying natural disaster also known as the "God of Water", and it was the main reason why the capital of the seven waters sank year by year!
Can......
It's not like Lindsay hasn't seen "natural disasters".
As mentioned earlier, any person who develops the ability of a Devil Fruit to the extreme is itself a moving humanoid scourge.
Floating islands? Endless thunderbolts? A raging sandstorm?
Either one, it can cause no less terrifying destructive power than Aquaraganna!
But why, is it that only Aquaragna's presence is so strong?
Is it because of the rejection of the "sea" by the "fruit power"?
Lindsey tried to perceive further.
In an instant, his consciousness collided with the traces, and the fluctuations visible to the naked eye burst out, bringing an extreme sense of oppression that ordinary people could hardly imagine!
……
Call!
One of the instincts of life is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
But if there is no way to avoid it, they will often choose to fight back desperately.
Therefore, the moment the sense of oppression erupted, all the beings present reacted.
Iceberg clenched his fists, and Flam picked up the iron rod;
The frog landed on all fours, and the hair on its body stood on end;
Half of Klockdahl's body was elementalized and condensed into a giant scythe, which was wrapped around Lindsay's neck from behind;
Robin's hands were crossed, his pupils constricted, and he was panting.
Uta grew his mouth even longer, and spat out a large hand with thick keys, and pointed sharp claws at Lindsay's face.
“?!”
After a second, the oppression subsided, and everyone realized their gaffe.
They withdrew their weapons and abilities and turned to look tentatively at Evan Lindsay.
"Mr. Lindsay?"
"Huh? Hmmm......"
Lindsey muttered a few times, her out-of-focus pupils re-condensed, converging into a confused gaze.
"What's wrong?"
“……”
……
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Iceberg clasped his hands to his chest and recalled the muttering of Aven Lindsay just now.
"Aquaragna?"
People who live in the capital of the seven waters, of course, will be familiar with this name.
Iceberg Analysis:
"Around the time of the Carnival of Masks, it is indeed the time of the annual tsunami."
"But we don't have to worry too much."
"Every year, before the tsunami, there is a weather forecast, and the island provides enough safe shelter."
"This year's forecast has not come, which means that there is no sign of a big tsunami yet."
“……”
"Hmm."
Klockdahl was the first to nod.
As a sand fruit ability, Klockdahl is not good at fighting in the rain, and the big tsunami and the like are even more troublesome.
He found a map of the City of the Seven Waters and began to write and draw on it.
"In that case, the plan is simple."
"You all stay here, I'll set off with the primitives and settle everything quickly."
"With primitive people, it's not difficult to track down."
"In return, your studio, primarily Tom, needs to negotiate a secret business with us."
“……”
Iceberg has to admit that this plan sounds suspicious, especially at the level of "remuneration".
Mr. Tom really seems to be hiding some kind of secret, so Bingshan is not sure whether the commission is good or bad.
But in any case, there is no way to carry out rescue operations with only him, Flam and Frog Henggang.
can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he has to go hard.
As Mr. Tom often says -
A manly man, just do what you say!
Iceberg pulled Flame, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Okay, everything is up to you!" ”
As the "big brother" of Tom's studio, Iceberg finally made a decision.
……
In this regard, the group of soldiers divided into two ways.
It's not that Robin and Uta don't have combat effectiveness, it's that their current mobility is far inferior to the other two.
Lindsay possesses the ability to fly.
Klockdahl is able to elementalize and quickly penetrate anywhere as far as the eye can see!
In ancient times, the domineering color spread, and traces emerged.
The two left.
At this point, in Tom's studio, there are only five left: Robin, Uta, Iceberg, Flam, and Frog Henggang.
“……”
For a moment, the scene fell silent, and several people didn't know what to say.
It was the iceberg that broke the silence first, poking Flamem with his elbow.
"Hey, there's a guest, let's get some refreshments!"
"Stupid iceberg, why do you want me to ......"
Frankie scratched her head and glanced at Robin and Uta, who couldn't be rough with the little girl.
So I could only wave my hand and trot all the way to the kitchen.
At the same time, Uta couldn't bear the loneliness and got up to visit Tom's studio.
"It's ......"
In the corner, she found a tattered piano.
After a little adjustment, the little figure sat down in front of the piano, and beautiful notes came from the fingertips.
The tune is "Wine of Binks".
As the famous "Song of the Pirates", it is perfect for relaxing and waiting for good news to arrive.
Uta hummed softly, and the ability of the song fruit was unconsciously activated, which made people intoxicated.
Flam also prepared refreshments and returned the same way with his plate.
Iceberg suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Flam.
"Hey, I remember your parents......"
"yes, they're all pirates."
Flam put the refreshments away, then sat down on the ground, clasped his hands on his chest, and said:
"They hated me for not being able to discipline me, so they simply left me in the capital of seven waters."
"Those two guys...... It's not worth remembering! ”
"Remember, stupid iceberg!"
Flam grabbed the iced Coke on the table, drank it down, and said in a deep voice, "My current family is everyone at Tom's Studio!" ”
"So, those bastards who dare to calculate us, I will definitely make them pay a super-level - terrible price!"
“……”
"yes!"
Bingshan picked up the tea, took a sip, and nodded silently.
Although Flam has a frivolous personality, Iceberg understands it very well, and Flam's essence is particularly affectionate.
Come to think of it, what happened to Mr. Tom and Sister Cocoro must have made him very unhappy, right?
No, it's not just him.
Bingshan's brows furrowed, and he muttered, "Me too......"
“……”
……
Before the performance was finished, the music came to an abrupt end.
"Huh?"
Iceberg looked up, only to find that Robin and Uta had already stood up, their expressions slightly serious.
Uta listened intently and said slowly, "There is a discordant voice. ”
Robin crossed his arms and closed his eyes at the same time.
Flower Fruit Ability Activation!
A number of eyes, blooming on the periphery of Tom's studio, surveyed their surroundings.
Robin said in a deep voice, "There are a lot of people, dressed differently, like pirates, or people from the underworld. ”
Tom's studio is under attack again!
The two little girls got up, each moving their shoulders, eager to try.
Looking at the slightly dazed iceberg and Flam, Uta took three steps and two steps, came to the two of them, and said excitedly:
"Two big brothers, let's work hard together!"
“……”
Flam still didn't react, and subconsciously asked, "Come on...... Do? ”
Uta held her forearm with one hand, clenched her fist hard with the other, and grinned:
"Of course it's a beating!"
