"Huhu~"
Luffy kept reaching out to grab the tree trunk and running wildly through the jungle, while avoiding the white figure chasing behind him.
"Damn it, it's obviously just paper, why is it so hard!"
Behind him, five pure white Keya chased through the jungle. These are similar to paper birds. The difference is that the hardness of these paper birds is comparable to steel, and their weaknesses are also obvious. Paper, afraid of fire.
However, Luffy couldn't create flames, so there was nothing he could do with them.
"If only Usopp were here!"
Usopp's ammunition is basically filled with gunpowder, and it is easy to ignite paper.
"Neck~Charcoal grilled!"
As a familiar voice sounded, a figure stepped on the flames and kicked one of the paper figures. His body spun in the air, and he immediately turned around and ran towards the other paper man. Then, without losing any momentum, he used the second one as a pedal and jumped forward again, kicking the paper man closest to Luffy.
"Sanji!" Luffy shouted happily with his eyes wide open.
The remaining two paper figures stopped, but did not help put out the fire. For Keya, these paper figures were just there for him, and there was no need to save them. Besides, at this time, she didn't have the heart to give too many detailed instructions to the paper man over there.
"Card Tornado, Card Flame!~"
Carl's flames are obviously more troublesome.
The flames and tornadoes converged in the air, forming a tornado of flames. The air instantly heated up, and the high temperature caused all the combustible objects around to involuntarily burn. Naturally, that includes paper.
Keya naturally has experience in defending against flames. As long as the papers are stacked tightly, he will not be afraid of the flames. He can only burn a part of the paper. If he wants to burn the inside layer by layer, it will take too long, which is not enough for fighting. The fast pace in.
"The move of the rat-throwing weapon will consume a lot of oxygen when burned. Do you want to use this method to harm both sides?"
Keya stood among the giant paper figures. The outer shells of the paper figures were stacked in layers, with flames attached to the outside. He looked like a giant walking from the flames. The voice was spoken by a paper man extending from the ground.
Karl wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Honestly, I did have this idea briefly, but it was too stupid." As he said that, the card floated out from the belt again. "Not only will I not consume oxygen, I will continue to replenish it!"
The card in his hand was revealed, clearly marked with the word hurricane.
Tornadoes and flames are just the first step. As long as hurricanes are added, it can create a fiery hell like a natural disaster. The only regret is that he could not perfectly control this power, and in the end he could only rely on another set of means to end the destruction of the flame.
Keya understood the meaning after a moment's thought. This tactic is very powerful, but the destructive power is too strong, and it is only suitable for use on land. Since my ability is paper, it can be said that the opponent has found a way to restrain it.
but……
A white shadow suddenly jumped out of the flame giant. In just a moment, it came to Karl, who was quickly escaping from the area, and held his head while the other party was surprised. The speed did not slow down and it continued to rush backwards. It barely stopped after knocking down more than ten large trees.
Karl wanted to fight back, but he felt that his whole body was tightly clamped. During the short period of suppression, Keya directly wrapped the paper on Karl around him, locking him tightly.
"The tactics are very good, but you should learn from Elman. Your body will always be your last trump card."
These words were not only spoken to the other party, but also Keya's own feelings.
After awakening her ability, she found that she was increasingly unable to defeat Kena and the others, and then she gradually realized this.
There is no problem with being strong, but there are always opponents that cannot be solved by the ability. At that time, the body is the ultimate trump card.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the fruit's ability is stronger than the power that comes from cultivation. But in the world of the strong, the power obtained through practice is the most fundamental, and ability is only a part-time job.
"Besides...you passed. Go back to recuperate."
With that said, Keya released his hold on Karl, "Besides, put out the fire."
Karl stood up and rubbed his head covered with dirt with an embarrassed look on his face. "I understand." After saying that, three cards flew out and then turned into three streams of light and flew into the air.
Then a large water ball appeared in the air without warning, and the water ball hit the area that had been ravaged by the flames.
Keya:......
Keya's mouth twitched and he looked at Karl angrily, "Is this how you put out fires?!"
Karl scratched his head, "Ah... I have no other choice~ I can only store some water to put out the fire."
Keya: "I'm really convinced."
In desperation, Keya raised his hand, but his mind was already relaxed.
The next moment, Keya assimilated a large area of the surrounding objects and turned them into paper. The papers flew out, and then formed barriers in the area where the flames were raging.
If the water were to be smashed down like this, the trial would be in chaos.
However, these barriers only slowed down the water, and the water still rushed out to other areas unbridled.
The trial route was along a route behind the temple. This route was originally a branch of the river outside the city of Shantora, (a tributary of the river in the middle of Gaya Island). After arriving at Sky Island, there was no stable precipitation. It dried up in a few hundred years and became the jungle it is now.
As soon as the massive water flow came, after a short period of running around, it followed the terrain and converged towards the old river. The waves of water rushed down from above, which caused a group of people who were trying to do the trial at the back to suffer a big blow. Disaster.
But that’s all for another day.
At this moment, Luffy and Sanji, who had just reunited, had to hide in a tree because of the sudden flood.
"Luffy, it's really hard to find you." Dashui Sanji looked down and lit the cigarette silently.
The flood should only be temporary, and then it would probably be a fierce battle. In his perception, many people seemed to have noticed this place, and those guys seemed to have noticed that he had noticed the other party.
The peace at this moment is just a short intermission.
Sanji couldn't help but become serious when he thought of this.
"Luffy, the power your sister gave you must be mastered immediately."
Luffy frowned, "But it's so difficult! I just figured out how to use that Haki."
Of course Sanji's hand holding the cigarette paused.
So that’s what happened~
As the most knowledgeable person in the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji immediately understood the purpose of Yuyuko's arrangements. It's just that he didn't understand something.
What is the purpose of the opponent so eagerly wanting Luffy to improve his combat power? Is it simply because they are too weak?
No, in that case she can let them practice well on the empty island for a period of time. There is no need to make this happen. The other party obviously has something to look forward to. or……
Something happened that they didn't even know about yet?
"Luffy, are you ready? The water has gone down and a lot of people will be coming soon."
Luffy shook his head and said with a smile, "No problem, let me knock him away, and then... rush to the finish line in one breath!"
…
Enelu sat cross-legged on a tree branch, enjoying his leisure time leaning against the big tree.
"According to what the woman said, my current position should be quite close to the finish line. That guy really fell far behind."
Enelu couldn't help but sigh after sensing Luffy's position with the Heart Net.
Obviously they hadn't been separated for long, but he rushed all the way to the finish line. If it weren't for that woman's mission, he might have won first place.
The Trial of Strength does not only select the first place to enter the final trial, as long as the top ten people can participate in the 'Trial of God', of course the rules of the other two trials are actually similar, but the participants of the Trial of Wisdom They often have little fighting ability, and basically give up the opportunity for the final trial. And the skill trial...
The skill test has been messed up in previous years. For example, the top ten in the previous session were three maids, two housewives, two chefs, two shipwrights and a swordsman. And that swordsman didn’t advance because of his sword skills, but because he competed with others and won...
So basically only those who are in the Trial of Power are the main force who challenge the Trial of God.
"Um……"
Enelu looked at Thorgil who was standing next to him, "Little guy, isn't there another little guy who came with you? Where did he go?"
Because it's a machine, Enelu can't hear this little guy's thoughts at all. Fortunately, they think of themselves as reborn gods. Otherwise he might just destroy them.
"It...we got lost in the mist."
"Oh~ I remembered, you seemed to have said this." Enilu thought about it, then opened his mouth and searched around on the net, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Shake your head and stop looking. Rather than searching like this now, it would be better to go directly to that woman and ask after the matter here is over.
…
"Hey, ho, ho, ho, long time no see, Miss Dorothea."
Brooke gave a slight salute to Dorothea, and then showed an expression that he had not seen for a long time, "Can I also take a look at your fatness today?"
Dorothea looked at Brooke and smiled, "It's been a while, Mr. Bones."
Although Dorothea had only briefly met this walking bone that transcended medicine, she got along well with him.
On the one hand, Dorothea is curious about the fact that only a skeleton can still move, and on the other hand...
Dorothea swept her hand over her crotch, briefly revealing a piece of white lace.
For Dorothea, the body is too common in her cognition. If it is just the clothing that wraps the body, then there is nothing special to cover up. Moreover, this guy who seems to be a bit rude and polite but also very frivolous is actually a scumbag who has lost the tools to commit crimes and has no sexual courage at all.
"Oh~ pure white lace is just like your noble quality. Thank you for your gift. I will remember it forever."
Dorothea put her hands on her hips and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "There is no need to remember it. I am busy mumbling, please help me carry these injured people."
"Extremely happy!"
Because of Brooke's help, Dorothea's work efficiency has improved a lot, and she finally has a little leisure time.
Not far from the temporary ward tent, with no one around, Dorothea lit a thin cigarette.
"Brooke, aren't you supposed to be checking out the partner Yuyouzi picked for you? Why did you come to my place alone?"
Brooke burst into laughter upon hearing this, "That's true, but it's enough. Even... I feel a little ashamed of myself."
"Ashamed of yourself?" Dorothea was amused. "You are such a careless person and you still have such delicate thoughts. You deserve to be a musician." "But those guys~ you don't need to feel ashamed of yourself. "
Dorothea remembered her experience on Drum Island.
"You don't have to think too much, just join them if you think they are suitable. If they are suitable, you will be happy."
"Wow." Brooke suddenly realized, and then a smile appeared on the face of the skeleton. "I didn't expect that I would become so timid. Sure enough, I am already an old man of several decades~yohohohoho"
Dorothea blew out a smoke ring with a smile on her face, "Now that you have made a decision, let's do it. Mr. Skeleton. Just in time, they are probably really in trouble now~ Just help me see if they have worked hard during this period. "
"Since Dr. Dorothea has said so, then as a gentleman, naturally I cannot refuse, yo ho ho ho ho~"
After saying that, Brooke ran out with the wind at his feet.
Dorothea shook her head and put out her cigarette.
Although Brooke has been practicing on the empty island for several years, his strength is only an improvement in swordsmanship skills. He has lost his body and only has a skeleton left, and he cannot even practice domineering. Yuyuko has said that he needs to develop his fruit abilities, but he seems to have been sticking to his swordsmanship as a swordsman.
Looking at the direction in which Brooke was walking away, Dorothea straightened her clothes and continued to bandage someone.
"Nose Song Brook is dead. Now you are a dead soul who returned from hell because of the power of the fruit. Only by developing the power of the fruit can you continue to improve your strength, Bones..."
There was only one thing Dorothea was most curious about about Brooke.
He has only bones...
Is it still possible to die...
…
An empty ship landed outside the temple, and two people got off.
"Nico Robin, you're finally here."
As soon as Nico Robin landed, she heard a rich male voice.
"Who are you?" Robin raised his hand.
It's not for defense, it's just because the opponent's head is too dazzling under the sunlight.
Locke noticed Robin's movements, and the hand he extended to shake hands froze in mid-air. Then he awkwardly pulled the turban around his waist and put it on his head.
"I am the head of the 'Lan' organization, leader of the president. Perhaps you should be more familiar with our second-in-command Shilok. He got the ancient text annotations here on Kongdao from you."
Robin smiled silently, still a little wary. It wasn't that she felt anything, it was just that after being in the dark for too long, it was hard for her to trust anyone.
Locke shook his head when he saw this, "That's all, the purpose of your trip should be the historical text. I'll take you there."
Nami looked around and stopped the two people who were about to leave, "Um, Mr. Locker, right? Where can I watch the members of the Trial of Power? My partner should be participating."
Locke thought of this person, but his attitude was not as enthusiastic as Robin. He called someone and asked him to lead Nami to the monitoring room to watch the battle.
After finishing it, he looked at Robin again.
"Let's go. The historical text is stored inside the temple together with the Fire of Shantora. It has almost become the territory of those historians."
