"Um."
Maude nodded and sighed: "It's just that the price of recovery is too high."
Restoring broken limbs at the cost of life.
This is the principle of equivalent exchange in the Devil Fruit ability system.
Even if the ability is awakened, this established phenomenon cannot be changed.
Just like the healing fruit ability in the original work, you can also use the recovery ability, but the price is also a reduced life span.
The difference is that the shadow repair ability reduces the lifespan of the injured person, while the healing fruit's recovery ability reduces the lifespan of the person with the ability.
It is worth mentioning that the healing fruit's strongest recovery ability is not only able to restore everything in living things, but also dead objects.
This form of ability seems to contain the power of rules.
It’s hard to imagine what level of ability will reach after awakening.
As soon as Shanks' arm recovered, Hawkeye's expression changed slightly.
before.
Shanks lost an arm in the East China Sea, so Hawkeye had no choice but to stop the duel with Shanks.
Now.
Shanks' arm is back, and Hawkeye feels that the days to come will no longer be as boring as before.
But the timing is not right now...
The fighting spirit goes as quickly as it comes.
Hawkeye silently gave up the idea of proposing a duel with Shanks here.
Anyway, from the moment Shanks agreed to Mod's request for help, this duel—
It will come sooner or later.
Shanks was keenly aware of Hawkeye's fleeting fighting spirit, and glanced at Hawkeye with a strange look.
"This guy Hawkeye..."
Shanks, who roughly guessed Hawkeye's mental activities, laughed and shook his head.
Even if Hawkeye wanted to have a duel with him, he wouldn't agree.
"I go first."
Hawkeye suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
The interruption caused by Maud made him unwilling to stay for less than half an hour.
His mind has already wandered to the upcoming war.
"So fast?"
Shanks was slightly surprised.
Hawkeye said nothing, but nodded towards Shanks.
Immediately.
Hawkeye simply turned around and strode away under everyone's gaze.
Shanks, who had long been accustomed to Hawkeye's style, watched Hawkeye leave without saying a word to persuade him to stay.
Maude stared at the black knife hanging on Hawkeye's back and whispered: "The next time we meet, it won't be about sitting together and drinking."
"yes."
Shanks lifted the wine glass and sighed in his heart.
In the coming war, Hawkeye, who has been aroused to fight, may not hold back.
Hawkeye gets serious...
He's not an easy guy to deal with.
Mod and Shanks thought of going together.
Some things cannot be changed by friendship alone.
"It's time for me to go."
As Hawkeye's figure disappeared from the end of the field of vision, Maud picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there is still a trip to Fish-Man Island after that. There is no extra time to waste.
Shanks knew that Moder still had many things to prepare, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay.
But Jesus was different. He wanted Maud to stay and have a drink with him, so he directly started chatterbox mode and chattered in Maud's ears.
But Maude was determined to leave, and no matter how hard Jesus tried to persuade her, he did not agree.
Mod left a life card and left the island.
His next destination is Fishman Island.
... ... .
Time passes day by day.
After receiving the emergency summons, all the people in the Shichibukai, except the Empress Hancock, came to the Chambord Islands one after another.
Afterwards, the Navy Headquarters sent warships to greet them.
A few hours later.
The warship arrived at the Navy Headquarters port.
A gangway stretched out from the warship and was set up on the shore.
The Shichibukai, headed by Hawkeye, landed one by one along the gangway.
"This scene is really 'spectacular'~~~"
The person in charge of greeting them was General Kizaru. After seeing the new and old Shichibukai gathered together, he started to admire him insincerely.
General Kizaru…
Admiral Orombus, who had nearly 6,000 troops under his command, had a look of fear deep in his eyes.
The beheading ability possessed by Kizaru is simply a nightmare threat to Orombus, who pays more attention to expanding the size of his team.
In fact.
The navy originally recommended Orombus to succeed the Shichibukai because of the size of the troops under Orombos's command which should not be underestimated.
Compared to Olumbus' discomfort...
Others such as the long-famous Old Pirate Green Pepper,
The dumbfounded Weibull,
Cavendish, whose whole head was thinking about how to make headlines,
Bobby, a one-dimensional man who won't act without his brother's instructions,
He has always been an eagle eye who has nothing to do with himself.
They seemed much calmer.
"Why didn't you see the 'Empress'? Didn't she come? This can't be done. I promised my mother last night that if I see the Empress, I will woo her. And my mother also said that I can only be judged by the world. The empress who is the most beautiful woman in the world is worthy of my status as Whitebeard II!"
Weibull held a large knife in his hand that was similar to Cong Yunqie's imagination, and his eyes kept scanning around.
Everyone looked at Weibull's actions with strange expressions on their faces.
He could say such things so calmly, and from the look on his face, he didn't look like a lecher, and he didn't know what was going on in this guy's head.
What a freak.
Olombus and many navy secretly gave Weibull a fair evaluation in their hearts.
"Ugly."
Cavendish glanced at Weibull with disgust, followed Hawkeye, and strode towards the Navy Headquarters.
Weibull's mind was focused on searching for the Empress, and he did not hear Cavendish's words.
If he heard it, given his character, he would probably have to fight Cavendish here.
Under the leadership of Kizaru, a group of Shichibukai arrived at the temporary rest room.
Except for Weibull who kept talking about Empress Hancock, everyone else sat quietly in their seats.
About half an hour later.
The warship Hancock was on arrived at the port of the Navy Headquarters.
Unlike other Shichibukai who came to the Sea on their own, Hancock was directly on the warship on the daughter island, and then sailed all the way with the warship.
but.
With proper arrangements by the Navy, consistency in arrival time for all Shichibukai can be ensured.
Hancock, wearing a purple cheongsam and a white cape, had just arrived in the lounge.
Weibull, who had been brewing for a long time, immediately rushed over and shouted: "Empress, become my woman!"
"This disgusting thing will disappear from my eyes within three seconds."
Looking at Weibull who spoke freely, Hancock's face was as cold as ice, and his words were even more rude.
Facing Hancock's threat, Weibull didn't care at all and said seriously:
"Mom said that the most attractive thing about a man is his powerful power that can make a woman fall for him, so it doesn't matter if you don't agree now, I will use my strength to force you to agree."
"?"
Hancock frowned, arched his right leg slightly, and looked at Weibull as if he was looking at a pile of shit lying in the middle of the road.
Weibull took action suddenly.
The broadsword he held tightly in his hand, covered with a high-level weapon color, slashed towards Hancock with strong wind.
This is obviously a no-brainer.
In the lounge.
Qingjiao and others who were watching the show felt that Weibull was really a complete monster when they saw Weibull showing love one second before suddenly killing Hancock the next second.
but…
In terms of strength alone, it cannot be underestimated.
Kizaru, who looked passive and slow at work, had a similar view.
He touched his chin, but had no intention of stopping him.
Facing Weibull's sudden slash, Hancock showed no fear.
Just when she was about to counterattack, there was a soft swipe sound, and Cavendish suddenly dodged over and raised his sword to block Weibull's sword.
Clang!
When the sparks burst, with Cavendish and Weibull as the center points, violent air waves swept around, blowing all the furnishings in the lounge to the corners.
Click click click—
Although Cavendish blocked Weibull's attack, the stone slab under his feet cracked violently.
"This guy… "
The powerful power transmitted from the sword made Cavendish's heart freeze slightly, and a look of surprise slowly appeared in his golden eyes with an extra ring of irises.
"Why stop me?"
Weibull looked at Cavendish who came out of the way with a strange look on his face.
Cavendish struggled to withstand the suppressive force from Weibull, but with a calm expression on his face, he said calmly:
"I just can't stand the bastard thing of 'beating a woman if you don't show love'. The most important thing is that you are too ugly."
“…”
Weibull was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "But who are you?"
