Chapter 87 Bird Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Qingluan Form!
Vivi had an embarrassed look on her face, slowly raised Karu's reward list and said.
"Karoo's bounty is... 100 Baileys!"
At this time, Smoker's voice slowly drifted into Chopper's ears.
"The government thinks that duck looks more dangerous than you, so it doubled the bounty!"
The air became quiet again.
Then... there was the cry that resounded throughout the sky.
"Oooh oh oh..."
"Oooh oh oh..."
While Chopper sat alone and grieved, Luffy looked at Smoker and asked.
"What did you say you wanted to do with us just now?"
Smoker nodded and said.
"I've made my decision."
"Next, I won't chase you anymore!"
The rest of the people immediately showed joy when they heard this.
But before they could say anything, Smoker gritted his teeth and continued.
"But...I won't let you go."
"Next, I will take Tashigi to the Marine branch with the worst environment to improve his strength."
"When one day we are strong enough, we will definitely come back to catch you."
"You remember this, Straw Hat!"
"I have staked my name as [White Hunter] Smoker, so...I will never give up until I catch you!"
Tashigi also gritted his teeth at this time, looked at Zoro fiercely, and said firmly.
"Roronoa Zoro, I will definitely surpass you!"
"Absolutely... I have to take back the famous sword in your hand."
Zoro's scalp went numb when he heard Tashigi's voice, and he immediately hid behind Sanji.
What he fears most is this woman.
Luffy looked at Smoker with a determined look at this moment, speechless, and said.
"Is this what you came here to tell me?"
Smoker calmed down after hearing this, regained his composure, and spoke slowly.
"When you first arrived at Alabasta, I requested reinforcements from Naval Headquarters."
"Now 30 warships have arrived near Alabasta."
"In about three hours, the river will be completely blocked."
Hearing this, there was a sound of panic on the ship.
"30 ships?!"
"If 30 warships were to surround us on the 24th, Melly would definitely be destroyed."
"This is bad, Luffy! We have to leave quickly!"
Luffy frowned and asked in confusion.
"Why are you telling us this?"
"Don't you want to catch us?"
Smoker took a puff of cigarette and said.
"When I asked Naval Headquarters for support, I thought you wanted to destroy this country."
"But after watching that live broadcast, I felt..."
Smoker's voice became deeper.
"If I catch a group of heroes here who saved this country, I may regret it for the rest of my life."
"So this news should be considered as a thank you gift for saving Alabasta."
"I will never let you go when we meet again next time."
"Tashigi, let's go!"
After saying this, Smoker stood up and jumped onto their warship.
Looking at the warship slowly sailing away, Luffy and the others were a little stunned.
"That cigarette... he looks pretty nice!"
"Yes! He actually helped us!"
"I don't hate him that much anymore."
"I said..........There is no time to think about anything else now. We have to set sail as soon as possible. If it is too late, we will not be able to get out of this river."
Nami suddenly shouted, and everyone on the boat immediately took action and got into position.
"Luffy, what can I do?"
Vivi came to Luffy, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
Vivi was extremely excited to officially become a pirate for the first time.
Luffy's eyes swept around the ship, and finally landed on the empty observation deck on the mast.
Then he turned to Vivi and said.
"You will be the lookout on this ship from now on!"
"Give us the observed information as soon as possible."
Vivi's face suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she nodded excitedly.
Then they saluted in a particularly formal manner, imitating the soldiers of their kingdom.
"Yes, Captain!"
Seeing Vivi's excited and serious look, Luffy couldn't help but smile.
Although Vivi used to have a worried look on her face when she was concerned about her country.
But when you really relax, you become very lively.
At this moment, Luffy suddenly felt his leg being rubbed.
Then, a cry was heard.
"Gah!"
Looking down, Karu also looked serious, seeming to be asking Luffy what it could do.
Luffy glanced around again, but found that there seemed to be no suitable position for a duck, so he said to it.
"Just be the logistics on this ship! If you see anything you can do, just do it."
"If you don't know what to do, just follow Chopper. Only he can understand what you are saying. If you need help at that time, let Chopper tell you!"
"Gah!"
Karoo yelled, seemingly satisfied with the arrangement, and then went to find Chopper.
Everyone is in their places and ready.
Luffy's shout rang out from the Meili.
“Golden Merry………… sets sail!!!”
…………..
Because Smoker informed them in advance, Luffy and his team moved forward at full speed along the way.
Successfully left Alabasta before the Marine warships formed an encirclement.
Heading towards the next island pointed by the record needle.
On the calm sea, "Merry was driving slowly.
The Straw Hat Crew all gathered on the deck, everyone looked nervous and serious.
"Are you ready?"
Luffy looked at Vivi who looked nervous and asked.
Vivi looked nervous and expectant, and nodded.
"Ready!"
Then, Luffy activated his heaven-defying understanding to help Vivi fully develop her own talents, so as to attract the Devil Fruit that suits her.
Luffy has already had an idea about Nami and Nokkigao's Devil Fruit.
However, those two fruits have been eaten by others, so it has not helped the two of them attract Devil Fruit with their heaven-defying understanding.
As for Vivi, Luffy has not yet thought of any Devil Fruit that would suit her.
So I just wanted to give her heaven-defying comprehension, stimulate her potential to the limit, and see what Devil Fruit I could attract.
After being given heaven-defying understanding, Vivi closed her eyes tightly and felt it carefully.
Searching her mind for her talents and potential.
At this time, Vivi couldn't help but think of the scene when Bell secretly took her flying in the sky when she was a child.
The memory of that time is as clear as if it happened yesterday.
The feeling of flying in the sky also makes Vivi feel like a spring breeze, extremely comfortable and enjoyable.
After this memory ended, Vivi's mind replayed the countless days and nights she spent in Alabasta.
Alabasta's land is mainly desert, and it is hot almost every day, and fires often occur due to the unbearable heat.
At this moment, Vivi's mind was filled with those blazing flames.
Just when scenes emerged in Vivi's mind, on the Melly.
Luffy and the others waited quietly.
At this time, some wood fragments suddenly fell from the sky.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted, looking at the debris that fell on the ship, they were confused.
"What is this? It's raining wood?"
"The Grand Line is really unpredictable! It even rains pieces of wood. It's really a magical sea area."
When Usopp and Sanji sighed one after another, Nami suddenly grinned and screamed.
"What the hell! Look at the sky."
"A ship has fallen."
Hearing Nami's exclamation, everyone except Vivi looked up to the sky.
Suddenly, everyone's pupils were shocked and their faces were filled with astonishment.
Above the head of the Meili, I saw an extremely huge, but dilapidated sailboat falling at a very fast speed.
Various pieces of wood, boxes, barrels, and even skulls from the sailing ship were floating towards the Mellie.
The entire deck suddenly fell into panic.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"What's going on? Why does the ship come from the sky..."
"It's going to fall!"
"Hurry and hold on to the boat, it's about to start a wave!"
boom!
There was a violent falling sound, causing an extremely huge wave.
The Mellie was riding a huge wave, shaking violently as if it was about to be overturned.
Everyone on the boat was screaming in surprise.
"ogg0g0g0g......"
"OSOSOSOS..."
After a period of violent shaking, the Melly finally calmed down.
The people on the boat still looked scared, sweating on their foreheads.
Chopper, Usopp and Karu hugged each other tightly, trembling with fear.
Luffy had been supporting Vivi, who was still unconscious, during the huge wave to prevent her from falling out.
After regaining calm at this moment, there was a sudden sound of confusion on the ship.
"Why do ships fall from the sky?"
"Now there is nothing in the sky!"
"How strange!"
Gululu…………
While everyone on the boat was wondering and sighing, something suddenly rolled on the deck.
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and saw a fruit with patterns like blue flames rolling to Vivi's feet.
It seemed that it had just fallen with the ship.
At the same time, Vivi slowly opened her eyes.
A reminder also came to Luffy's mind.
[Your understanding is heaven-defying. Through understanding transmission, your conductor is gifted and attracted by "Bird Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Qingluan Form". 】
"Success!"
The moment they saw the fruit, excited cheers erupted on the boat.
Everyone temporarily ignored the ship that just fell, and focused on Vivi and the Devil Fruit.
Luffy picked up the Devil Fruit, rinsed it in a bucket nearby, then handed it to Vivi and said.
"Although I don't know what abilities this fruit has, I believe it will not be weak since it is also a fruit of a fantasy beast species."
"Vivi, just eat it!"
Vivi took the fruit and nodded, with excitement in her eyes.
Although she doesn't understand this Devil Fruit, she seems to have a magical feeling that this fruit will give her flight and fire.
Ability.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Vivi took a bite.
"OX..."
The same scene as Usopp.
Vivi couldn't help but let out a retching sound with a painful expression.
When Luffy saw Vivi holding back and wanted to eat, he knew that she didn't understand Devil Fruit, so he spoke.
"Okay, no need to eat, it's ready."
"Hurry up and feel what this fruit has to offer!"
After hearing Luffy's words, Vivi nodded and felt it carefully.
At the same time, Luffy once again bestowed heaven-defying understanding on Vivi to help her understand the fruit's abilities more comprehensively.
And when Vivi was sensing it carefully, there were hints in Luffy's mind.
[Your understanding is heaven-defying, and through understanding transmission, your conductor has fully mastered the ability of "Bird Fruit, Phantasmal Beast Species, and Green Luan Form". 】
[Bird Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Qingluan Form: The ability user can transform into the ancient oriental divine bird Qingluan, which has two basic active abilities: flight and flame manipulation. a passive ability
:Rise from the ashes. 】
[Flight: The flying speed is extremely fast, traveling thousands of miles in an instant (about 1 kilometers per second). 】
[Fire Manipulation: Can control the release of fire attacks, and the Qingluan Bird feeds on endless karma fire, so those with the ability can strengthen or heal themselves by devouring and absorbing fire elements. 】
[Rebirth from the ashes: When the vitality of the ability user reaches the limit, this ability will be activated, and he will be reborn from the ashes and transform into a phoenix, with all attributes greatly improved. Every time it is stimulated, it can
The strong person will enter a weak state after the ability ends. The ability cannot be activated in a weak state, and the next activation must wait until the body fully recovers. 】
After reading the introduction about the abilities of this Devil Fruit, Luffy290 couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is indeed a phantom beast.
Not only does it fly extremely fast, but it also has two lives, and the second life will greatly increase its strength.
In addition, this Devil Fruit is simply the nemesis of those with fire attribute abilities. If the opponent uses fire, it can be absorbed and used to strengthen themselves.
In short, if you fight with those with fire attribute abilities, you will become stronger the more you fight!
After telling the rest of the people on the ship about these abilities, everyone was surprised.
Nami's eyes turned into star eyes with excitement, and she said excitedly.
"Vivi, hurry up and transform into Qingluan form for us to see."
The rest of the people also looked very expectant, focusing their attention on Vivi.
After hearing this, Vivi jumped up on the deck.
call!
The wind howled.
Everyone felt a strong wind blowing by and subconsciously closed their eyes.
And when it opened again, everyone could see it.
In the sky above the Meili, a phoenix-like bird with a blue body was soaring rapidly in the sky.
Her whole body was burning with cyan flames, and her speed was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to catch it with the naked eye.
And where she flew over, there were dots of blue flames left in the air, shining like stars.
"So fast!"
"so beautiful!"
"So strong!"
This was the unanimous emotion of everyone on board when they saw Vivi transformed into Qingluan form.
If Vivi's strength could not match her bounty of 100 million Baileys before, then now, the bounty of 100 million Baileys cannot match her strength at all.
The phantom beast fruit is so powerful!
After helping Vivi get the Devil Fruit, Luffy also tried to help Karu to see if he could get a suitable Devil Fruit.
But I don't know why, something happened.
Luffy could only guess that someone might have eaten the suitable fruit.
But now he didn't know which fruit it was, so he ignored Karu for now.
Above the Meili, Vivi adapts to her new abilities.
But on the deck, Nami's exclamation suddenly sounded.
"ah!!!"
The sharp female voice pierced the sky, shocking Vivi high in the sky.
"What's wrong, Nami?"
Luffy shifted his gaze from Vivi in the sky to Nami and asked.
Nami said with a worried look on his face.
"What should I do?"
"The record pointer is broken!"
"The needle keeps pointing to the sky and doesn't move!"
Luffy immediately reacted after hearing this and knew what was going on.
Seeing Nami's dumbfounded look, Luffy smiled and said.
"The record pointer points to the sky, which means our next destination is [Sky Island]!"
After hearing Luffy's words, there was an exclamation on the ship.
"Sky Island?! What is that? An island floating in the sky?"
"By the way, the ship and the bones just fell from the sky!"
"But if you look at the sky now, there doesn't seem to be anything like an island!"
"It's impossible! How can the island float in the air? The record pointer must be broken!"
Nami firmly insisted that it was a problem with the record pointer. .
