Ji Yu and his companions could not understand the meaning of the devil fruit because they had never seen the scenes of the plant roots preying on black people and digesting humans.
Tian Yang had never understood the meaning of these roots before, but now he had guessed that these strange plants growing underground, if nothing unexpected happened, were probably only for the fruit.
After being captured and digested, humans and black people were transported to the foreign object that looked like a pregnant woman, which served as a transit station.
Perhaps the essence of blood and flesh transmitted by the roots and rhizomes undergoes a new round of refining or transformation there, and then is transported to this towering tree, finally just to produce the fruit that contains huge energy.
That fruit is formed by the condensation of countless lives, so it is not an exaggeration for Tianyang to call it a devil fruit.
Suddenly, Ji Yu's voice rang out.
"Look, the Black Prince is moving."
Tianyang looked at the giant tree again. Under the tree, the throne, the Black Prince had already stood up. He walked towards the fruit, but did not pick it immediately, as if he was waiting for something.
"Is he waiting for the fruit to ripen?" Cangdu called out softly with an uncertain tone.
Kun Lanpiya said excitedly: "Who cares? I'm going to kill him right now!"
When Tian Yang heard this, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait!"
Kunlan looked at Tianyang with cold eyes: "Let go, Baimao. Otherwise, you can forget about your hand."
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "You are no match for him. When our Raven Team ran into one of them, he was just a newborn Black Prince, and we couldn't stop him. What's more, this one now has obviously undergone some transformation."
Kunlan drew out the crooked blade and placed it on Tianyang's arm: "Are you going to let go or not?"
Tian Yang said angrily: "Now is not the time to act rashly. That fruit may have collected the life essence of everyone in this war, including those black people who died in the war! The Black Prince hid here just to wait for this fruit to mature. Obviously, this fruit is very important to him!"
"If he eats the fruit, there's a good chance he'll evolve into the Black King! If you rush out like this, he might be alarmed and eat the fruit directly, and our operation will fail!"
"In this case, the deaths of those victims before us become completely meaningless!"
Kun Lan stared at Tianyang in a daze. He had never thought about these things before. Now that Tianyang had given him a wake-up call, the fighting spirit in his heart gradually subsided.
"Then what should we do nothing?" Ji Yu couldn't accept this. She couldn't just wait.
Tianyang shook his head: "No, there are still things we can do. For example, we can delay him, or destroy the fruit. No matter which one, as long as we can hold on until the captain and the others arrive, our goal will be achieved."
Kun Lan retracted his crooked blade: "I understand. Now take your hand away. Listen, Bai Shou, I am not going to obey your orders. It just happens that your idea happens to be the same as mine, so I am reluctant to act with you."
"Whatever you say is fine." Tianyang stared at the giant tree and the black prince. "I have an idea. The three of us will try our best to pester him, and Jiyu will be responsible for cover and support. As soon as we have a chance, we will go for the fruit."
"Let's do it." Kun Lan drew out his double blades and said impatiently, "Now, can we take action?"
Tianyang nodded and shouted softly: "Jiyu, shoot an arrow at that fruit."
As he spoke, the boy had already run away.
Kunlan and Cangdu formed a triangle formation with Tianyang on the left and right, heading towards the giant
Rushing in the direction of the tree.
Behind him, Ji Yu snorted: "You little brat, calling me sister, you have no manners at all!"
The star energy is revealed, like a full moon, and the aura of Jiyu bursts out, locking onto the devil fruit under the branch!
As soon as they moved, the Black Prince sensed something and turned his head to look in the direction of the four people. Before he saw Tianyang and the other two, he saw a light in the darkness.
The next moment, a star arrow flew through the air and pointed directly at the scarlet fruit above the Black Prince's head!
The Black Prince suddenly let out a sharp howl, with a mixture of shock and anger in his voice. He raised his hand like lightning and caught the Xingsu Arrow. The impact of the arrow caused him to slide back several steps before he stopped. A silver light made a bend under the tree and flashed behind him.
At the end of the silver glow, Tianyang's sword was unsheathed and slashed towards the Black Prince's back.
The Black Prince's long gray hair fluttered, and without turning his head, he held the arrow in his right hand and hammered it backwards, hitting the blade of Red Moon with incredible precision.
Tianyang suddenly felt like he couldn't catch the red moon, and his sword almost slipped out of his hand. He couldn't chop down with the sword anymore, and was knocked down by a punch from the Black Prince.
On the other side, with a sharp sound, Cangdu, holding the Spring Water Sword, stabbed the Black Prince's face with a sharp thrust.
The Black Prince raised his left hand and met the attack with his palm. When the Spring Water Sword pierced his palm, it made a crisp sound like hitting gold and iron!
With a ding sound, the Chunshui Sword stopped.
The Black Prince thought he had successfully stopped his opponent, but at this moment, a strong wind blew overhead.
It turned out that Kun Lan had leaped over with great force, his blades crossed to create two blade lights, and he chopped at the devil fruit on the branch: "Break it for me!"
The Black Prince snorted and quickly stepped on the ground with his right foot. A circle of shock waves appeared on the ground, which made Tianyang and Cang stagger backwards as if they were drunk.
The Black Prince took the opportunity to raise his hands high to protect the left and right sides of the fruit, and used the outside of his wrists to block Kunlan's blade respectively!
Ding ding!
With two loud noises, Kunlan's double blades swung away. The Black Prince suddenly moved his body and kicked, hitting Kunlan in the chest.
Kun Lan's face suddenly changed, and he flew backwards, landing on the ground more than ten meters away.
But at this moment, Tianyang steadied his body, raised his left hand, and there was a gun in his hand, Deathstroke!
Pointing at the Black Prince's vulnerable back, Tian Yang pulled the trigger hard. The muzzle of the Death Knell lit up, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the Black Prince's body.
Bang!
A very penetrating gunshot rang out under the giant tree, and the branch with the fruit hanging from it trembled slightly in the air.
The light gradually dimmed, revealing the falling figure of the Black Prince. The armor on his back was shattered by the death knell, and an irregular gap was blasted into his body under the armor.
Blood splattered everywhere and minced meat flew everywhere.
Tian Yang just shouted inwardly, and saw the splattered blood and minced meat suddenly, as if pulled by an invisible gravity, rolled back into the gap on the Black Prince's body.
They filled the gap again and returned to normal in a blink of an eye. If the armor had not been unable to regenerate, Tianyang would have thought that he had just dreamed.
However, when the Black Prince was injured, Ji Yu in the distance took the opportunity to launch an attack, shooting arrows one after another like a string of cannonballs, locking onto the fruit and shooting continuously!
The Black Prince sensed something immediately, and let out a long howl. He suddenly jumped up, and waved his hands. Thin, intermittent black arcs of electricity came out from between his ten fingers.
The electric arc swept over the arrows, shattering them one by one. Not a single one of them
Can hit the fruit!
At this time, Cang Du arrived again. At this moment, there was a red light floating in the eyes of the ponytailed young man. This is an ability that can only be used at level 3, the will to fight!
The fighting spirit can make the sublimator excited, break through the physical limitations within a certain period of time, and weaken the pain to a certain extent.
But its most important function is to mobilize the star essence and let it flow at high speed, so that each attack is like rising water, and each blow is more powerful than the last!
In order to stimulate the fighting spirit, silver light spurted out of Cangdu's wrist. After adding the silver wrist, the aura released by the ponytailed young man was extremely powerful.
He shouted loudly, then held the sword with both hands and swung it with great force at the Black Prince's shoulder.
The Black Prince clenched his fist and smashed it, the tip of his fist pulling a black arc of electricity, which hit the tip of the Spring Water Sword. At the point where the fist and the sword met, lightning flashed, and then the Spring Water Sword bounced up, and Cang Du retreated.
The Black Prince was about to give chase, but Kun Lan had already filled in. He was spinning like a top, and his two curved blades formed circles of knife rings, forcing the Black Prince to be unable to get close for a while.
Tianyang also flashed over, taking silent steps, and quietly came behind the Black Prince. The Red Moon Sword lit up a crimson color and stabbed at the opponent's back with lightning speed.
Just as he was about to stab, his eyes suddenly blurred. In Tianyang's field of vision, the Black Prince had already flashed several meters away, and the Red Moon Saber pierced Kunlan's sword ring, and both of them retreated.
The Black Prince flashed to the vicinity of the throne under the giant tree, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the majestic sword placed next to the throne jumped up by itself and landed in the Black Prince's hand.
Cangdu bypassed Tianyang and the other man and ran over shouting. The Chunshui Sword swung out at a speed beyond usual, creating an impenetrable curtain of sword shadows!
The Black Prince calmly raised his sword without unsheathing it. He just spun the scabbard in his palm to block Cangdu's intensive attack that was like mercury pouring out of the ground.
Amidst the clanking sounds, the Black Prince finally grasped the hilt of the sword with his other hand.
A very dangerous feeling came over Tianyang, and the boy shouted: "Get out of the way!"
As he shouted, he was already causing a discontinuous silver glow, and indeed he retreated.
Kunlan and Cangdu followed suit and retreated after hearing the sound.
At this time, the Black Prince's sword was unsheathed, but what was dragged out from the scabbard of black and silver was not the cold sword edge, but a large amount of black thunder that was fluctuating!
The Black Prince dragged out a flash of lightning from his scabbard and swept it across fiercely. The black thunder roared like an evil black dragon, sweeping around.
Wherever the lightning passed, thin snake-like arcs of electricity swept across the ground, tearing dense and crisscrossing cracks in the cold and hard ground!
After the sword was swept, the lightning condensed and formed a lightning lightsaber about 1.34 meters long in front of the hilt. This lightsaber was narrow in front and wide in the back, with lightning flashing on the blade, arcs jumping at the edge, and crackling non-stop.
Just by looking at its shape, you could tell it was quite powerful. Even Kun Lan couldn't help but feel his Adam's apple moving as he stared at the Black Prince nervously.
The Black Prince lowered his arm, pointed his lightning sword at the ground, and suddenly slashed it upward in the direction of Kunlan!
The Thunder Sword suddenly grew longer, lost its sword shape, and turned into a large thunderstorm of lightning that blasted towards Kun Lan.
Kun Lan didn't dare to take it head-on. He let out a strange cry and threw himself to the side.
The dark thunderstorm swept past him, and wherever it passed, the ground immediately carbonized, forming a piece of black crystals. After a moment, the crystals shattered and dispersed into dust.
Kun Lan rolled twice on the ground and looked up again. He saw that a black groove had been swept out by the thunder sword at the place where he had just stood.
No matter how arrogant Kun Lan was, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat this time.
