Chapter 62: Seize The Explosive Fruit! Now That You're On Board, Don't Even Think About Le
Seeing that Luffy and the others were not worried at all because their opponent was Shichibukai.
Vivi suddenly shouted with anger and excitement.
"Luffy, what's going on with you guys?"
"Don't you know the seriousness of the problem?"
"The opponent is that Shichibukai! That is a big pirate recognized by the world government."
"Pirates like you who have just entered the Grand Line cannot imagine their terror.
"Luffy, this is a matter of life and death, you must take it seriously."
"Don't joke with your lives!"
Vivi roared out the last words.
She takes life too seriously.
Especially the lives of people she cares about.
She thinks that Luffy and others have no idea of the horror of Shichibukai.
Facing such an opponent, it was hard to even muster up enough energy, but Luffy and the others looked so unconcerned.
This made Vivi feel that they were kidding with their own lives.
Vivi lowered her head, tears constantly falling on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her mind was filled with the lives that died because of Crocodile.
At this moment, Wei Wei suddenly felt someone touching her head.
He looked up doubtfully.
Then I saw Luffy's extremely serious face.
Then, she listened to Luffy.
"We are not kidding with our lives. It is you who were persecuted too deeply by the title Shichibukai and imagined him to be too powerful!"
"Eh?"
Vivi let out a sigh, with confusion in her eyes.
She didn't think Luffy was joking.
but...
That's Shichibukai!
While Vivi was lamenting in her heart, she saw Nami walking over and patting her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Vivi! With Luffy here, it'll be fine."
Uta also came over to comfort Vivi.
"Vivi, Luffy is very strong."
Nokhiko followed closely behind.
"Vivi, trust Luffy!"
Vivi looked at the people in front of her blankly.
She saw the extreme trust and reliance on Luffy in everyone's eyes.
It seems that with Luffy here, there is nothing that can't be done.
She couldn't help but look at Luffy, confused.
"Why? Why does everyone trust you so much, Luffy?"
24Now Vivi still cannot understand this problem.
Just when Vivi was confused, Ikarem's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ahem... Mama Mama... Princess Vivi, everyone, please listen to me."
Hearing Icarim's voice, everyone followed it.
Discovering that he had dressed up like Vivi at some point, Guoli took a bunch of dummies made with the characteristics of Straw Hat Crew.
Then, everyone listened to him.
"Please listen, Princess Vivi."
"From now on I will dress up as you and leave here with the dummies of Mr. Straw Hat and his crew, heading straight back to Alabasta."
"While Baroque Studio is chasing me, you can follow the normal route back to the country on the ship of Mr. Straw Hat and his crew.
"Although I have never walked this line, I should reach the sky after passing two or three islands on the way."
"I hope we will all be safe and well and see each other in our motherland."
Vivi looked at Ikarim with worried eyes, knowing that he was absorbing the greatest danger by doing so.
But now, this is the safest way for her to return to the country.
"Ikarem... please be careful."
Faced with Vivi's concern, Ikarem smiled and nodded slightly.
"Then I'll leave first. After I leave first, you should leave here quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ikarem rushed to the coast with the dummy in his arms.
Luffy watched Ikarem leave without stopping.
He knew that even if he said that he had the ability to protect Vivi and did not need Ikarem as a bait, he would not be recognized by the two of them.
They were too afraid of Crocodile to take the risk.
At this time, Vivi looked at Luffy anxiously and said.
"Luffy, let's go quickly. Such a big thing happened here. Baroque Studio will definitely send someone here soon."
Luffy shook his head and said.
"Wait, I have one more thing to do before leaving."
After saying this, he looked at Mr. 5 whom he had brought before.
Seeing this, the others looked puzzled.
"Luffy, I just wanted to ask, what are you doing with this guy? Isn't he from Baroque Studio?"
"What do you want to do with this guy?"
Luffy nodded and said.
"This guy is a user with the ability to explode fruits."
"do you know?"
"Demon fruit power After death, this fruit will be reborn somewhere in this world."
Everyone understood something after hearing this.
"Do you want to take this explosive fruit?"
"But didn't you just say that you would be reborn in a certain place? In this case, you won't get the fruit even if you kill him, right?"
Luffy replied.
“You really won’t get the Devil Fruit by killing him directly.
"But there's a saying about Devil Fruit."
"Devil Fruit will consciously search for its owner."
Before anyone could ask again, Luffy suddenly asked.
"Usopp, would you like the power of this exploding fruit?"
Hearing that Luffy suddenly mentioned himself, Usopp was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? Me?"
Luffy nodded and said.
"After eating this fruit, you can turn any part of your body into a bomb with gunpowder properties. If you develop it, you can even turn everything in a certain range near you into a bomb, and you will be immune to explosion damage."
"Aren't you very knowledgeable about gunpowder and bombs now?"
"If you eat this fruit, you will definitely develop powerful abilities and become stronger!"
After listening to Luffy's description of the exploding fruit, Usopp was instantly moved.
He is now focused on becoming stronger, but his talent lies in sniping after all. Even if he trains with Zoro Sanji every day, he is still not as good as them.
And if he can eat this fruit, he will be very strong in both long-range and melee combat.
There was excitement in Usopp's eyes, as if he had seen the brave sea warriors of the future, and he said excitedly.
"I do!"
"But...can't I get the fruit even if I kill him? How do I get this ability?"
Usopp added doubtfully.
Luffy said with thinking in his eyes.
"Actually, I'm just trying."
"Your current understanding of bombs and your talent for them should be top-notch."
"So I want to try to see if this fruit will be attracted by your talent and find you."
After saying this, Luffy exerted heaven-defying comprehension on Usopp, activating all his understanding of bombs, allowing him to develop this talent to Ultimate at this moment.
Usopp also felt that in an instant, all the bomb knowledge that he usually needed to think about bit by bit in his mind suddenly came out like a blowout, and it was extremely clear.
At this moment, Luffy picked up a knife on the ground and inserted it into Mr-5's heart.
Immediately after the person with the ability dies, the fruit ability will still stay in his body for a short period of time.
So all Luffy can do now is wait.
During this time, he has been exerting heaven-defying savvy on Usopp.
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo!
A bird chirped overhead.
While Luffy was waiting, he looked up curiously.
Suddenly, they noticed that when the bird was flying over their heads, something seemed to fall off its back.
As the thing fell lower and lower, Luffy could see what it looked like.
A touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
[Your understanding is heaven-defying, and through understanding transmission, your conductor is extremely talented, and the explosive fruit is attracted. 】
"It's done!"
Luffy suddenly screamed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the others followed Luffy's gaze and noticed the black fruit with strange lines falling straight towards where Usopp was standing.
Usopp was stunned and reached out to catch the fruit.
"Is this the exploding fruit?"
"Si Guoyi! He actually came to see Usopp!"
"Eat quickly, Usopp. Let's see what this is capable of."
Usopp put the exploding fruit into his mouth amid sighs from around him.
"Ugh...it tastes so bad!"
After taking a bite, Usopp spat it out in disgust.
"Hey! Usopp, don't vomit! If you don't eat it, how will you get this ability?"
Nami said anxiously, she was curious about what Usopp would become.
Usopp looked at the fruit with a painful look on his face and couldn't bear to eat it.
At this moment, Luffy spoke.
"You don't need to eat it. Just take a bite of the Devil Fruit and you will gain abilities."
"Really?"
Usopp looked surprised, and when he saw Luffy nodding, he threw away the rest in disgust.
"Na! Na! Usopp, show us quickly."
Nami looked excited, and the others also looked curious.
Because of the blessing of Luffy's heaven-defying understanding, Usopp instantly mastered the basic usage of this fruit.
He came to a house and punched it.
boom!
A violent explosion sounded, and the east room collapsed.
Discovering that he had become so strong, Usopp was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahahaha, the brave sea warrior Usopp is me! Hahahahaha..."
The others also looked shocked at this moment.
"Si...Si Guoyi!"
Especially Vivi, who couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's actually more powerful than Mr.5 when using it!"
As Vivi said, Usopp's power far exceeds that of Mr.5.
Luffy had actually expected this.
The strength of the fruit has a great relationship with the owner's ability.
Although Usopp just ate the explosive fruit, he had been training every day before.
In addition, his understanding and talent for explosions far exceed those of Mr. 5, so it is normal for him to show power beyond him.
However, for subsequent development, it is up to Usopp to understand it himself.
The upper limit of explosive fruits is more than that!
...
After solving the matter of the exploding fruit, Luffy and others headed towards the coast, ready to set off.
As Luffy was walking, he suddenly felt something soft pressing against him.
Turning around, he saw Nami holding his arm, looking at him expectantly with big eyes and pursed lips.
Luffy was amused and had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he still asked.
"Is there a problem?""
on Nami's face
His expression suddenly brightened and he smiled.
"Hehe... Can you get me and Noki Takaya a Devil Fruit sometime?"
"It's best to have something that's so powerful that you can become as strong as a monster after eating it."
With that said, Nami explained to Luffy rationally.
"Look, we have entered the Grand Line now, and we will definitely encounter many powerful enemies in the future."
"Zoro Sanji and the others are getting stronger every day, and Usopp also has the Explosive Fruit now.
"Only me and Nuoqi Gao are the weakest."
"What if one day we encounter many powerful enemies and you fail to protect us, then won't the two of us be doomed?"
After saying this, Nami put on a pitiful look, her begging eyes shining like stars, like a pitiful and helpless kitten, looking at Luffy expectantly.
Looking at Nami like this, Luffy couldn't help laughing and said.
"Don't worry! I have already considered it."
"The Devil Fruit I found for you two must be monster-level.
"Didn't I say it before? Our pirate team must be all monsters in the future!"
Nami suddenly looked surprised and excited after hearing this, holding Luffy's arm like a kitten and happily nuzzling him.
Noggio was not as unrestrained as Nami, but she was still very excited and happy. She couldn't help but imagine what she would look like in the future when she was as strong as a monster.
Vivi, who was walking beside them, looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel envious.
She was envious that they could get along so happily, but she didn't have the time or energy to experience the happiness of being with her partners.
She looked towards the sea in the distance, and could vaguely see the miniature of Ikarim's ship leaving.
"Everything must be safe and sound, Ikarem!"
Vivi looked at the ship that was so far away that it was about to disappear, and murmured.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a faint explosion sound in the distance.
"!!!"
The next second, Vivi's body trembled, and her eyes seemed to lose focus and turned pure white.
The picture reflected in her eyes was a burning fire and billowing black smoke.
Luffy and others also heard the explosion and looked over.
The moment they saw the situation clearly, everyone also showed shock and sadness.
I saw that the Icarim ship had now turned into a piece of burning debris with black smoke.
"How...how is it possible? Did the pursuers arrive so soon?"
"No way?! Ikarem..."
"MA..."
Everyone was amazed and sad, and cast worried glances at Vivi.
At this moment, Vivi was biting her lips, with tears in her eyes, but her expression was firm and she spoke firmly in a deep voice.
"Luffy, let's go!"
The others couldn't help but be moved by this strong look.
Luffy just nodded and said nothing more.
In fact, when Icarem chooses to do this, he will definitely be pursued by Baroque Studio. It is just a matter of time.
Arriving at the shore, everyone quickly got on the boat and prepared to set sail for the next island.
At this moment, Zoro suddenly frowned and let out a deep cry.
"Luffy!"
Luffy nodded slightly to express understanding.
He also sensed an extra breath on the ship.
In fact, everyone in the Straw Hats, except Vivi and Karu, was aware of the presence of outsiders.
They all looked in the direction of the breath, and saw a woman with black hair and dark skin sitting on the railing on the second floor of the Melly.
Luffy recognized this person immediately, Nicole!
But now, her external identity is still Crocodile's partner, Ms. All Sunday!
Robin was a little surprised to find that he was discovered by so many people on the ship at the same time.
"Ah! How strange? Why did you all notice me at the same time?"
Hearing this sound, Vivi followed the sound and looked over.
Suddenly, her expression became horrified and she shouted.
"Why...why are you here...all Sunday!"
Robin put his chin on his hand, smiled lightly, and said.
"I just found Mr. 8 over there, you are really cunning! Ms. Wednesday!"
When Vivi heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank, her expression was shocked, and she said tremblingly.
"It's...you gave Ikarem..."
The rest of the people were also hostile and angry towards Robin at this moment, and they were all ready to fight.
Only Luffy smiled, took two steps forward, looked at Robin and said.
"Now that you're on my ship, don't even think about leaving without my consent!".
