Chapter 657: Chapter 590 Pirates Chapter 657: Chapter 590 Pirates “Ahh~”
Several pirates were seized by the Banisher Spirit’s Flying Dragon claws and taken to the sky before being hurled toward the sailboat like cannonballs.
Plop~
Pirate fragments scattered on the ground like flattened tomatoes.
Niu had no effective means against the Banisher Spirit.
This immediately presented an opportunity to Ski, who was observing from afar.
“Very good!”
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Banisher Spirit, and as Niu’s attention was drawn away from him,
Ski instantly completed the switch of his roaming support device, as if he possessed an equipment space of his own, click-click, rapidly assembling a slightly cumbersome Power Armor in mid-air.
Then, he switched from the original low-power, high-frequency energy weapons to live ammunition weapons!
Alone, he became like an arsenal, as rockets bombarded the sailboat bereft of its helmsman due to the Banisher Spirit’s intervention.
The initially unknown pirate warship, which also seemed to possess special characteristics as a Yuan Force item, had been impervious to remote attacks.
But now, with its helmsman abducted and having lost control for a brief moment, locked onto from a distance,
The barrage of attacks instantly turned the vessel into a burst of sparks!
A series of explosions lifted the wooden deck and shattered the mast!
As even the keel broke under the immense pressure, the entire ship swiftly disintegrated!
Such was the power of a mechanically modified World Breaker.
Seizing the opportunity for a full force barrage, the destructive power far exceeded that of a peer contender!
Niu, who had been successfully suppressing Ski due to their element of restraint, was now forced to dive into the water in a disheveled retreat and was soon swept away by a dark shadow…
Aside from a few pirates who jumped overboard, the majority perished in the inferno on the ship.
“Nicely done!”
Ski whistled, pleased with seizing the reality of the moment, then turned his attention to the previously ignored sound-attacking Banisher Spirit, somewhat envious,
“Baan said they might be a kind of undead creature, perhaps even a summoned being or follower, to have such high mental resistance, and they’re not weak in their own right, really nice…”
This was a perfect complement to Ski, yet a pity, as all good things belonged to others.
The deadlock between the two was instantly disrupted with the entry of the Banisher Spirit.
This caused Liwa’s expression to change drastically, as he was battling Laifu, constantly using the sea water infused with poison to form various attacks.
He looked extremely shocked,
“How is this possible…
Weren’t these ones supposed to be heading to the general’s side?”
And because of his distraction, Liwa gave Laifu an opportunity to land an invisible air cannon hit, catapulting Liwa outwards with blood splattering from the blow.
But the very splashing of his poisoned blood stopped Laifu from daring to pursue and finish him off.
It was Baan who had previously thought he had succeeded and ended up being unexpectedly outmaneuvered.@@novelbin@@
It was only about claiming a mission reward, after all—no need to risk life and limb!
At that moment, Tao Yu descended from the sky on an Alien Flying Dragon, the wind from its beating wings creating waves on the sea surface.
“How are things?”
Tao Yu surveyed the scene.
With Ski having blown up the pirate ship, things were now quieting down.
On the water’s surface, one could only see pirates clinging to broken planks or barrels, while Liwa and Niu had vanished without a trace.
“Thanks, brother Tao, for stepping in this time.
Otherwise, we indeed would have faced trouble.
Both of those guys have very strange abilities.”
Laifu displayed a brilliant smile on his face.
It seemed that the other party’s previous departure might not necessarily have been an attempt to flee.
Regardless of whether he truly went off to challenge pirates or was covertly lying in wait to save the world and solidify relationships, he certainly had to acknowledge the favor.
The other party was not a member of this operation and was not obligated to help, but once they lent a hand, he had to recognize it.
“These pirates…”
Tao Yu also turned his head to look at the floating pirates with their somewhat peculiar appearance.
Their abstract style reminded him of the Pirate King.
Was this sea connected to the world of the Pirate King?
“We do have some understanding of these pirates; we’ve encountered a group before, and this lot is probably quite similar.”
“Oh?
That does pique my interest,”
Tao Yu asked, clearly intrigued.
Cleaning up the battlefield was obviously not their job to handle, and Tao Yu had indeed taken a leading role at the critical moment, pulling things back from the brink.
Laifu, the captain, leaped onto the back of the Alien Dragon and flew back to the deck with Tao Yu.
He organized his thoughts before speaking,
“We had encountered another pirate ship like this one before.
Although the crew’s average quality wasn’t bad, the only slightly troublesome one was a fellow who claimed to have consumed a Devil Fruit…”
Upon hearing Captain Laifu’s words, an understanding flashed through Tao Yu’s mind.
So it was indeed the Pirate King!
However, the Pirate King’s world differed from the Naruto world as it didn’t have those specific times and places with secret items and treasures that were effective for oneself.
Mainly, there were fruits bearing all sorts of unique abilities.
For example, Naruto with the Six Paths powers was known as the little “Yellow Ape”.
Although Devil Fruits had side effects, Tao Yu truly believed his Deification could solve that issue.
In theory, the potential for developing the abilities of a Devil Fruit was extremely high.
“Since such things exist, Captain Laifu, aren’t you interested?”
Tao Yu inquired, as the main purpose of the Explorer aircraft carrier was to discover valuable World Fragments in distant seas, hence the luxurious lineup.
At least for the current New Development Zone, having three World Breakers on board was a significant show of strength.
“Of course I’m interested.
According to our interrogation of the prisoners, there are no repetitive abilities among these fruits; each one is unique and highly valuable.
However, unfortunately, they were just caught in a storm during normal navigation and suddenly appeared in this sea area…,”
Captain Laifu sighed.
Listening to him, Tao Yu also began to understand.
Generally, such instances were projections resulting from the world being torn apart by the Abyss, like what happened with Cheng Lixue initially.
It could be that the Pirate King’s world was large but fragmented, so it just dropped down like dumplings into the water, torn into who knows how many pieces—likely more scattered than the Naruto World.
Tao Yu surveyed the surrounding seas, also thinking about the open sea of the Land of Water and the Pacific Rim where everything was being shoved inside.
Though the current location was extremely far from the Land of Water, it marked two completely different extreme directions of the already explored World Fragments; it is very possible that the seas in between were also connected.
Tao Yu also recalled the Condor Heroes World with sea levels rising a hundred meters, creating waterfalls as the two sides slowly merged—an extended period might even submerge the Condor Heroes World entirely.
It wasn’t certain whether any worlds were buried beneath this vast expanse of sea.
From the experience of the Old Development Area, the Abyssal Sea was a place as terrifying as the Starry Sky.
Given this matching environment, for the entire One Piece World to be torn into little odd NPC’s scattered everywhere did not seem odd at all.
“There’s another group of prisoners here; we should capture and interrogate them as well.”
“That’s precisely my intention.”
However, the subsequent interrogation and Tao Yu’s Spirit Communication revealed that this batch of pirates was much the same, with the difference being that they had encountered Esdeath’s team and ended up being subdued by them.
Unfortunately, there was currently no way to acquire a Devil Fruit.
But occasionally, some powerful pirates did hoard some Devil Fruits, so chances were not completely lost.
Most likely, it was now a matter of luck…
Moreover, for Tao Yu’s current strength, the Devil Fruits were just icing on the cake.
Without in-depth development and research, the effects of a Devil Fruit were rather ordinary…
What do you think?
