"Although this may not have been confirmed yet, judging from the photos taken afterwards, it is very likely that the other party has the ability to steal other people's Devil Fruits!"
"The information before you details a series of changes in this person..."
So Akainu and Kizaru, who were interested, picked up the document with some photos and dense text and read it again. Their brows furrowed even more when they saw it.
... Can transform... Suspected animal devil fruit... First discovered on the bottom of the sea... Punctured a Navy headquarters warship...
... Physical attacks are ineffective and are directly slid away... The description of the ability is very similar to the Slippery Fruit in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book... Nearly a hundred marines witnessed it gliding barefoot on the sea... Is it a Slippery Fruit? ...doubtful...
...Investigation results after the fierce battle with Crocodile... There were a large number of solidified candles at the scene... According to the investigation, the senior agent code-named Mr. 3 of Baroque Works, formerly known as Gar Dino, is a user with the candle fruit ability... A few days ago Returned to Alabasta and killed... body found...
It has been speculated that Luo Qing, the captain of the Faceless Pirates, is suspected of possessing multiple Devil Fruit abilities and can steal other people's abilities for his own use...
Conclusion 1: With a physique that is different from ordinary people, its bloodline factors can be extracted and submitted to the scientist Dr. Vegapunk for verification...
Conclusion 2: The golden glove on his right hand is special equipment. If true... Conduct research... Can it be mass-produced... Stock up on Devil Fruit... Create a large number of powerful navy...
. . . . . . . .
This reading lasted for more than half an hour. Obviously, the amount of information contained in it was too large, and people had to treat it with caution!
"So what this meeting is really about is we going to get this guy back?"
Kizaru's tone was frivolous, but it was much better than before when he didn't take it to heart at all.
"It's best to capture him alive. If the intelligence department's speculation is true, this person will become increasingly difficult to deal with. We don't even know how many abilities he can use and whether there is an upper limit..."
Speaking of this, Sengoku smiled and shook his head. The appearance of such a different kind of freak was already a headache. How could he use all Devil Fruit abilities without restrictions
And the specific reason is still unclear, so someone needs to take over this task and conduct a thorough investigation.
It would be better if we could capture the person, but if we couldn't bring him back intact... there was nothing we could do.
The worst result is that the admiral takes action but he escapes. In that case, Sengoku will have to consider new countermeasures. Maybe cooperation is also a good way. Isn't the position of Shichibukai just vacant...
As for Luo Qing being able to fight back...
This possibility was eliminated by the Warring States Period from the beginning!
If the admiral is so unbearable, how can he be in charge of a new world where countless pirates are surging!
How to fight against the Yonko Chamber of Commerce!
So... who to send
"Kizaru, it's up to you to make the trip. You are the fastest. After you set off, I will send follow-up warships to pick you up. The others will stay and wait for the round table conference held by the World Government in a few days."
"This time we need to discuss a new Shichibukai..."
"Oh... what a troublesome task~"
Kizaru complained exaggeratedly. In fact, he was also curious about Luo Qing's situation. It would be a good idea to go there and relax.
It’s much better than the boring round table meeting that follows!
Thinking of this, Kizaru took the latest information about Luo Qing, and then strode away without caring about what happened next.
Akainu looked gloomy and wanted to have an attack, but he held it back in the end, because the Shichibukai would come here to hold a meeting next. If there were any rumors of discord between the generals at this juncture, it would not be a good thing for the navy and the world. The government is smearing it!
Akainu, who is acting with the goal of being the marshal of the navy, will never allow any dark history to appear on himself, absolutely not!
And Aokiji, who had been asleep for a long time, had a glimmer of light in his lazy eyes that was difficult for others to detect.
Will Kizaru's attack be your end
Interesting man...
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
On the other side, Luo Qing and others, who had been away from Alabasta for more than ten days, were in peace.
Except for Kerby, who still has no change and is still working hard as a errand boy, steering the ship, cleaning, etc., Robin has also joined in the daily activities - lying on the sun lounger, wearing sunglasses and drinking cold juice. Damn the sun!
What a harmonious and leisurely life~
Except for Kebi, everyone couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
Of course, due to Kebi's growing height and appetite, as well as his muscles that have begun to take shape, he still filed a complaint for Luo Qing, the unscrupulous teacher who abused child labor.
At this time, Luo Qing was sitting on the sun lounger in the middle. On the left was Nami, on the right was Robin, and outside was the pseudo-loli Snowball.
Everyone wore very cool and eye-catching clothes, in Luo Qing's words.
One is youthful and lively, one is mature and beautiful, and the other is the highest death sentence...
It really doesn’t hurt anyone!
But he rarely thought about these things, but subconsciously touched the last joint of the little finger on the back of his right hand.
If the Infinity Gauntlet were to appear, there should be an earthy yellow light...
On the first night after leaving Alabasta, Luo Qing used his consciousness to communicate with the Infinity Gauntlet and removed the Honey Badger Fruit that lowered his appearance. Naturally, it was replaced by the natural Devil Fruit of Sand Crocodile. —Swiss fruit!
The four Devil Fruits currently embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet are the Swish Fruit, the Slippery Fruit, the Candle Fruit and the Quick Slash Fruit.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the first two. One is a powerful natural element, and the other one is a 'hero' who has been giving him great help all the time since he got it. It can be called a bug in terms of defense and mobility!
As for the Candle Fruit, a special fruit that is superhuman but has a certain degree of natural characteristics, it is also valued by Luo Qing. After all, being able to defeat Crocodile was largely due to the success of the wax liquid, which successfully restrained the Sand Crocodile. Elementalization, otherwise it’s really hard to say the outcome, even if you have the short-term fruit awakening ability!
If the Quick Slash fruit is given to the last position, it is simply "the bigger one out of the dwarfs".
Silence Fruit and Mimicry Fruit are auxiliary types that can only appear on specific occasions and times. They are currently useless, so they are temporarily stored.
The benefits that the Honey Badger Fruit can bring to him have become smaller and smaller. If he needs to strengthen his attack, the Quick Slash Fruit seems to be better, and can also strengthen the attack power of 'skills' such as the Desert Sword.
The thorn fruit was a bit useless and was given up by Luo Qing.
The desert sword that can cut steel and iron, coupled with the strengthening of the quick-cut fruit, can definitely take its power to the next level.
In the same way, weapons made from Candle Fruit can also become sharper, so this Devil Fruit was chosen as a transition.
Then thinking about the Infinity Gauntlet that can change shape according to his own right hand, maybe he can also develop a move like 'Infinity Hand Sword'~
