Chitong carefully applied medicine to Eric's mouth, and asked aloud: "What's the matter with the blisters on your mouth?"
"Hiss...it hurts!" Eric wanted to raise his right hand from his waist to cover the burned area, but Arturia grabbed his right wrist.
"Wait..." Eric was startled: "Artoria, what are you going to do?"
"Don't block." Arturia showed a hint of a smile, clasped Eric's right arm from the side, and controlled the right half of Eric's body: "Let everyone take a look at the serious injuries you suffered for us."
"Yeah, don't block." Joan of Arc approached from the left, clamped Eric's left arm with her right elbow, and held Eric's left half of his body hostage: "This injury suits you very well, Eric."
"Don't be kidding." Eric tried to break free from the shackles, but the two reverse heroes seemed to be petite, but their actual strength levels were both A. The huge force erupted from their seemingly fragile limbs made Eric unable to move. .
"Don't use so much force..." Eric twitched his cheek: "It hurts a little."
Artoria said: "Then don't resist."
"Yes." The corners of Jeanne's mouth curved upward.
While the two were talking, they still didn't give Eric a chance to escape.
Artoria turned to Yamato, who was confused, and said, "Yamato, please find an image phone bug."
"Eh? Image phone bug?" Yamato was stunned, turned around and started rummaging through the boxes.
Eric opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that..."
"That's what you guessed. Joan of Arc, don't let him go." Arturia even used her magic power to release, purple light burst out, waves of air rose into the sky, and everyone's hair and clothes moved backwards.
"Received, it's rare that I agree with you." Joan of Arc smiled evilly, and strengthened her arms at the same time: "Let the guys who stay in China also take a look at Eric's 'handsome face'."
Eric's upper and lower lips were elongated and stretched out due to the swollen blisters and gums. They looked like a thunderous mouth, which was really not flattering.
"Hey!" Egil shouted dissatisfied: "Don't damage my boat!"
"Don't worry," Artoria said, "As long as Eric doesn't use his full strength, nothing on the ship will be damaged."
"Why do you put all the responsibility on my head?" Eric shouted dissatisfied: "You two, let me go!"
Yamato was rummaging through boxes and cabinets,
The upper body got into the cabinet, leaving only the round butt and the red skirt.
"Chitong, won't you help me persuade him?" Eric had no choice but to ask for help from Chitong, who applied medicine to him.
"This is just the right way to give you the medicine. Don't struggle." Chi Tong concentrated on healing Eric's injuries.
Eric: "..."
"Give up." Artoria half-squinted her eyes: "This is your punishment."
"That's right." Joan of Arc echoed: "Who asked you to choose to deal with the enemy alone?"
"..." Eric opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead with a horrified expression: "Look there quickly!"
"Don't worry, Captain." Chiron showed a gentle smile: "My clairvoyance will detect the surroundings. I will not miss a trace of doubt, and there will be no danger."
"Teacher Chiron -" Chiron's gentle expression turned into a devil's smile in Eric's eyes. Eric said sadly: "I always thought that Teacher Chiron with thick eyebrows and big eyes would help me. I didn’t expect him to be so evil-minded!”
"Hahaha." Chiron smiled honestly: "The captain can't fool them both with his tricks."
Artoria sneered: "Are you treating us like three-year-old children?"
Jeanne responded to Artoria's taunt: "The bluffing technique has long been outdated."
"You two..." Eric said speechlessly: "Actually, we have a good relationship, right?"
"Is this a new way of insulting you?" Jeanne looked disgusted: "How can I have a good relationship with this guy..."
"Eric, I ask you to take back what you just said." Artoria stared into Eric's eyes.
"Sorry..." Eric quickly bowed his head and apologized.
"Eric, why are you apologizing?" After Joan finished speaking, she glared at the Black Knight King on the other side.
"Country girl, pay attention to your mission and don't let Eric go."
"I know it without you reminding me!"
Chitong frowned and said to Eric: "Don't move."
"Ugh..." Eric held back the tears that filled his eyes: "I'm sorry-"
"Um..." Yamato raised his hand excitedly and shouted: "Artoria, I found the image phone bug."
"Well, very good." Artoria praised: "I can't move now. Come and take some photos for me."
"Yeah." Yamato nodded and took a step back, adjusting the distance and light: "Put you and Eric in the same photo?"
"Although this posture is a bit unpleasant." Joan of Arc curled her lips: "But hurry up and take pictures, I'm afraid Eric will break away and escape."
"I didn't even use any force." Eric defended: "Don't treat me as a criminal."
"Click, click" Yamato pressed the shutter, and there was a series of crisp sounds. Under the flickering flash, Eric suppressed his desire to cry.
"Very good." Arturia and Jeanne finally let go with satisfaction and turned to look at Yamato's shooting results.
"Hmm-" The two of them pondered for a moment and expressed the same opinion.
Artoria considered the words: "Why do I feel..."
"The two of us and Eric..." Jeanne's pretty face turned red for a rare moment.
"What?" Eric put his head forward to watch, but Artoria pushed him back.
"Peeping into a girl's secrets is not a gentleman's behavior."
"Haven't you always been a man?" Joan of Arc mocked, "Now you actually have the heart of a girl?"
"...It seems that a certain village girl needs some training before she knows what etiquette is."
"Hmph, be careful, I'll burn you to death."
Chitong reached out and patted Eric's bare back: "It's bandaged. Are these three injuries caused by Garp's iron fist?"
"Hmm..." The swelling pain from his back made Eric's eyelids jump.
"How did you get the wound on your mouth?" Joan of Arc frowned and asked, "You can't kiss the flame with your mouth, can you?"
"This injury is actually..." Eric hesitated.
Chiron showed a half-smiling expression and did not answer for Eric.
Yamato stretched his neck and closed his eyes, and sniffed with his straight nose: "It smells of sulfur, is it lava?"
Artoria narrowed her eyes slightly: "Did you bite that guy named Akainu?"
"...Yeah." Eric finally nodded and admitted.
"Hahaha!" Joan of Arc covered her abdomen with both hands and laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe: "I didn't expect you to bite lava with your teeth. I really underestimated you!"
"There's nothing funny in this, right?" Eric pouted: "Akainu's lava is really super hot."
"You deserve it." After Chi Tong finished speaking, he looked at Eric distressedly: "You will not be allowed to face the enemy alone in the future."
Looking at the worry and stubbornness in Chi Tong's eyes, Eric nodded and agreed: "This is the last time I will do this."
The steel battleship headed west, breaking through the sea, leaving a line of white waves behind, and disappeared into the sunset.
…
"Really..." Sengoku learned the specific situation on the phone: "Darren Eric actually ate two Devil Fruits?"
"Yes." Lieutenant General He said with a firm tone: "He ate the Devil Fruit in the form of a blue dragon in front of us."
Warring States held his forehead to suppress the pain in his head and asked aloud: "What about the task of retrieving the heavenly gold?"
"Mission failed." Lieutenant General He sighed.
"Sengoku, you don't know the situation at that time." Garp took the microphone from Lieutenant General He and said in an unusually solemn tone: "This guy's strength has grown by leaps and bounds. He held Akainu and I alone, and let his subordinates take the boat first. Evacuate, and then use your flight advantage and flash movement to escape from the battlefield."
"He is not as reckless as Kaido. He will never challenge the navy alone." Garp narrowed his eyes: "Based on Qinglong's flying ability alone, there is nothing we can do against him."
Warring States naturally knew that Garp would not take part in such an important mission, so he asked: "You have fought Kui Long in a duel, what is his strength?"
"Before Eric ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, my strength was about 70-30% higher than his." Garp thought seriously: "After he ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, he took a few punches from me in the front, but he was not seriously injured. He's been injured, I'm afraid I'm no longer his match."
"..." Warring States understands the strength and character of his old friend. If Garp really thinks so, then the outcome of the battle must be similar to his prediction.
"The small pirate group back then..." Sengoku really felt a headache and regretted his original decision: "In four years, it completely grew into a behemoth."
"..." Akainu gritted his teeth and almost shouted: "Isn't it because of the indulgent policy you chose!?"
But he also understood that although Warring States was the marshal of the navy, some things were not decided by him. The Five Old Stars, the rulers of the world government, are the real culprits causing the evil consequences!
Under the influence of Akainu's anger, his clenched fist glowed red and then turned into magma. The hot lava dripped onto the wooden floor, instantly igniting flames and rising smoke.
"Akainu seems to have something to say to you." Garp noticed the movement caused by Akainu and gave up the contact position.
"..." The magma-formed fist returned to its original appearance, and Akainu picked up the microphone: "Marshal Sengoku, there are several new members of the Dawn Pirates."
Warring States asked: "Well, what kind of ability? What about strength?"
The burning sensation on his body made Akainu instantly recall Jeanne d'Arc's voice and appearance: "Her name is Jeanne d'Arc, and she has the ability to control fire."
"Fire?" Warring States frowned and asked, "Nature type, a person with the ability to burn fruits?"
"No." Akainu denied: "She cannot be elementalized, and the fire she releases can even burn lava."
Warring States instantly understood that Akainu was burned by her flames, but he was familiar with the world and would not expose his subordinates' shortcomings, and then asked: "How is your strength?"
"..." Akainu didn't answer, he was struggling with what to say.
Garp answered for him straightforwardly: "I heard that Artoria and Jeanne were just two people who could stop Akainu."
Akainu: "..."
Now he just wants to give this bad old man a shot of Hades.
"I understand." Sengoku said, without further irritating Akainu who was about to erupt.
"You guys hurry back to Marineland." Sengoku said, "We need to update the Dawn Pirates' bounty amount as soon as possible!"
◇
In the Navy Headquarters, two rows of naval officers were sitting on the tatami floor. The lowest rank was Lieutenant General of the Headquarters.
"First of all." Sengoku said, his eyes slowly sweeping over the crowd: "Our colleagues, Lieutenant General Dalmecia, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, fought with the Dawn Pirates who were robbing the gold from the sky, and died heroically. "
"We are here to observe three minutes of silence for them."
Sengoku closed his eyes, and the other marines followed the example of the Admiral and closed their eyes tightly.
Three minutes later, Warring States opened his eyes and said with a solemn expression: "Although the three of them are gone, we must remember everything they have done for the navy!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Brannu." Warring States ordered the only major at the scene.
"Yes!" Brannu stood up, held a stack of information in both hands, came behind Sengoku, pulled down the white screen, started to project photos, and introduced: "'Kui Long' Darren Eric, Dawn Pirates Captain, the emperor of China."
"I ate the Thunder Fruit four years ago, and a few days ago, I ate the Blue Dragon Fruit."
"What!?" "Tea Dolphin" Jiaji yelled: "He ate two Devil Fruits!?"
"Yes." Brannu replied: "Eat the second Devil Fruit in front of General Sakaski, Lieutenant General Garp, and Lieutenant General Crane."
The others turned to look at the three of them. Akainu snorted disdainfully, while Garp and He nodded slowly.
"It's really surprising." "Momo Usagi" Gion said, "It's unheard of for someone to eat two Devil Fruits."
Warring States said: "But this thing did happen. OM's Totland made a big fuss, 1.5 billion; killed the 'Golden Lion' Shiji, 2.17 billion; in Rogge Town, he asked the World Government Declare war, 2.5 billion; destroy the Beast Pirates, 3.5 billion."
After introducing him in one breath, Sengoku relieved his slightly excited mood and spoke again: "Darren Eric has replaced 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido and has become the strongest creature now."
Warring States slapped Zhuo Futai hard, the wine cup shook, and the wine in the cup immediately spilled out: "I have decided to increase the bounty of 'Kui Long' Darren Eric to..."
