Boom –

The fire was blazing, and this time, there was a crater in the hull of the black ship.

However, it wasn't long before they were shocked to find that the wooden blocks and iron plates of the Goddess of Commerce had fallen off from their original positions and had been sewn into the hole, "healing" it!

What's going on?!

Quack Quack –

They could only watch as the black ship continued to move forward like a bamboo, slicing the Goddess of Commerce and Trade in half from the middle!

Boom –

Amid the screams of horror from the crowd, the Goddess of Commerce and Trade soon capsized, entangled in the crashing waves and about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The people on the ship, whether they could swim or not, had to jump to the surface, and they didn't want to be buried with the merchant ship.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to grab a plank or two and float on the waves.

And on the vast sea, not only the Goddess of Commerce and Trade sank, but even the three escort ships were gone!

Obviously, they have long been wiped out!

Subsequently, the survivors all looked at the black ship involuntarily.

The black ship has sailed away.

In a cold sweat, they only felt like they had an afternoon nightmare, and they were almost about to wake up in the dream, and they all looked at each other with palpitations.

And on the terrible ghost that was speeding away—

Feeling the "creepy" horror being harvested, David Jones came with another wave of reinforcement.

He used it all to strengthen himself this time.

First, the number of tentacles on his right side increased to three, and then his pistol gained the "gun reverse" ability.

The so-called gun counter is to shoot a bullet at the moment when the enemy is about to attack, causing damage while also giving the enemy a short stun effect.

During the hitstun effect, David Jones attacks, especially with a charged charge from the left crab claw, dealing massive damage to enemies.

Here's the latest from David Jones.

["Hades of the Deep" David Jones]

【Crab Claw (Left Hand) :(1) Hard as Iron (2) Charged Heavy Attack】

Bucky grinned and handed it to David Jones with the slippery fruit in both hands.

"Captain, this is our trophy!"

Truth be told, he was in awe of the ship beneath his feet as he watched the Horror Ghost sink three frigates in quick succession, easily slice through a merchant ship, and devour the fragments of its hull.

However, Bucky still felt a little sorry for not being able to snatch any gold, silver and jewelry from those rich people.

David Jones took the slippery fruit, looked at it carefully, and touched it with his tentacles, but he couldn't see why it contained so many magical powers.

"Bucky." On a whim, he said, "You ate the 'Split Fruit', what would happen if you were allowed to eat the 'Slippery Fruit' again?" Can I have both abilities at the same time? ”

When Bucky heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Captain, don't be kidding. A person can't eat two Devil Fruits, as long as he eats one bite, he gains one ability, and if he eats another fruit, he will die instantly! ”

"Are there no exceptions?"

"Uh...... At least none of the Devil Fruit abilities I've seen have been able to use both abilities at the same time. ”

In other words, the possibility is slim, but it cannot be completely ruled out.

David Jones nodded, fiddling with the slippery fruit with his tentacles.

Bucky didn't know if Captain David Jones had listened or not, so he had to step aside as low as he could, lest he be used as a test subject.

At this time, David Jones finally stopped playing and shouted, "Yarrita! ”

The lookout above the mast showed a head, looked down for a moment, and then a figure climbed down the ladder.

Knock Knock Knock –

After a while, the black bear-like woman appeared on the deck, and she put down the iron rod in her hand and walked over.

"Captain, you call me?"

"Yes." David Jones' tentacles stretched straight and handed the slippery fruit to Yarrita, "Eat." ”

Both Arrita and Bucky were taken aback.

They thought that David Jones intended to snatch the Devil Fruit from the black market at sea in order to eat it for himself, but they didn't expect him to give it to Yarrita in the blink of an eye!

David Jones said calmly, "I have no interest in becoming a Devil Fruit Ability, but if you become a Devil Fruit Ability, it would be a good idea to increase your combat power." ”

There were other things he didn't say.

Eating the Devil Fruit will make the capable person become a landlubber who cannot swim, which is an absolute curse and cannot be changed.

As long as Yarrita also becomes a Devil Fruit ability, David Jones will be able to control them better.

The entire Terror Ghost was one with David Jones, and he could open two holes that reached the sea at any time if he wanted, allowing Yarrita and Bucky to fall.

He is willing to keep the contract, but he is also wary of those who break it.

After all, it's a lesson from the past.

"This ......" Arrita hesitated, but looking at the Devil Fruit and remembering Bucky's Fragmented Magical Ability, she was a little moved, "Captain, can you really give me such a precious Devil Fruit?" ”

"Eat." David Jones reversed his tentacles, and the slippery fruit landed on Aryrita's palm, "I need to see you develop its abilities to the limit." ”

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations, Captain! Yarrita, with a pockmarked face, was overjoyed.

With trembling hands, she picked it up, put it to her mouth, and took a bite.

"Uh...... It's so unpalatable......"

Arlita forcibly swallowed a piece of pulp and lost interest in the rest of the fruit, which did not taste like fruit at all, and was not at all delicious.

In fact, just one bite of a Devil Fruit is enough for a person to gain power.

However, under the gaze of David Jones, she didn't dare to waste it, so she had to close her eyes, bite down in two or three bites, chew and swallow it in her stomach, and then finished eating.

Arlita looked at her hands and feet, surprised, and didn't see any change at all.

David Jones looked at it and frowned as well.

Experienced Bucky knew that the changes in Yarrita's body would happen quickly, and it would take a while for her to fully get used to her abilities.

At this time, Yarrita noticed that she was starting to sweat, and her whole body was sweating at the same time, more and more, as if she had just been fished out of the water!

All this sweat dripped onto the deck, accumulating a puddle of water and coming out.

And Yarrita, at the moment, is even starting to heat up!

She looked at the changes in herself in amazement, and suddenly thought of something, and said rather embarrassedly, "Captain, can I go to the bathroom on the ship?" ”

"Go ahead." David Jones nodded.

Arrita, who had been pardoned, immediately ran over with a bang, and for some reason, she even felt a little lighter and more flexible.

At the same time, Bucky saw something and walked to the side of the ship.

He put one foot on the barrel, touched his red nose, squinted his eyes for a while, and then cried out:

"Captain, there's a pirate ship ahead!"

David Jones's body didn't move, but his head turned like an owl, and his gray-blue eyes looked over.

From a distant island, a ship sailed out.

Pirate ships are still easy to recognize, as most of them are quite high-profile with white skull flags on black backgrounds.

And this time, the white skull is in the shape of a cat, and even the bow of this ship is the image of a black cat with vertical pupils.

"Black Cat Pirates?"

After all, Bucky has been messing around in the East China Sea for a long time, and he still has a certain understanding of his fellow pirates here.

"I've heard that they were routed by the navy, and that the captain of the ship, Colonel Mule, was caught by Colonel Monka and sent to be beheaded. Why is there another group of Black Cat Pirates here? Could it be that their pirate group has been resurrected? ”
