"What's this?!"
The man lay on the ground, struggling frantically, but he couldn't break free from his restraints at all; instead, he writhed like a worm.
"You dare to attack my companion? You've got some nerve!"
Standing tall in the sky are those two men who have shaken the world.
Cifer used was the part of the Kido that belonged to the Bakudō.
Just now, after crushing that Hollow to death, Cifer discovered that the memories of the Kido flashed through his mind, and then he was able to use it perfectly.
It seems that this body contains not only Ulquiorra's power, but also other abilities.
The successive deaths of Hollows residing within Devil Fruit seem to be breaking down some kind of constraint this world places on the body.
Ulquiorra!
His pupils contracted sharply; he had finally encountered the man he least wanted to see on this trip.
"Wait! Your companions were not actually harmed. I can offer compensation!"
The other party used a simple trick, yet he was rendered immobile, and the man began to feel fear.
At this moment, the strength he was so proud of seemed so laughable in front of that man.
"You're no longer an ordinary pirate, you're Shichibukai!"
"Killing me would cause a conflict with the World Government, and my master is..."
He kept explaining their identities, trying to shake the man's murderous intent towards him.
"It's those fat pigs, isn't it? You smell like pigs!"
But before he could finish speaking, Cifer finished him off with extremely insulting language.
"That's a great Celestial Dragons!"
"My master is a descendant of the Creator!"
Hearing Cifer's words, the man felt even more uneasy, because the man in front of him had a history of slaughtering Celestial Dragons!
Moreover, having killed Celestial Dragons, he could still roam freely on the seas as Shichibukai. Undoubtedly, the Marineford and the Gorosei would be extremely wary of him!
He began to regret taking on this mission.
That fat pig, merely hearing that Ulquiorra had several stunningly beautiful women around him, demanded that I snatch them away for him.
The Revolutionary Army Officer's lucky success more than ten years ago allowed him to thrive under the Celestial Dragons's command.
Over the years, I've really thought of myself as a top expert, and I even dared to point my finger at this man!
He kept emphasizing the nobility of his Celestial Dragons identity, perhaps to tell Cifer, or perhaps to tell himself.
But he ultimately dared not utter the Celestial Dragons' names; he was not just one person.
"Celestial Dragons, what infuriating creatures!"
Cifer even considered storming Mary Geoise, believing that with his current strength, there would be no problem in doing so.
Only...
His gaze swept over Bonney almost imperceptibly.
The mass death of the Celestial Dragons will inevitably plunge the entire world into an abyss, and if they cannot be completely eradicated at once, there will be endless troubles in the future.
When one's power is insufficient to resist all of this, the consequences of one's momentary pleasure will only be suffered by the common people.
But those things dared to target their own companions, and Cifer couldn't swallow his anger at being told that nothing had happened.
Suddenly, he thought of something, walked over to Chopper, squatted down and whispered in his ear.
"Eh~"
Chopper was surprised at first, then took out a small pill from his pocket.
"Swallow this thing and I'll let you go. Also, you have no right to bargain with me."
Seeing that the man seemed to want to refuse, Cifer threw the pills on the ground, interrupting him beforehand.
Although the man was unwilling, he could only move his body closer to the pill and then swallow it in one gulp.
After all, he was probably the first person to offend this man and still have the chance to leave unscathed.
"You now have two choices. The first is to fight me; if you win, you will obtain the antidote."
"Second, go back to Mary Geoise to find your master, then find Den Den Mushi that can contact me and let me have a good talk with him. After the talk, I will give you the antidote."
"Remember, you only have three days."
Cifer released him from his restraints, and the latter stood up, clenched his fists, stared at Cifer for several seconds, and then quickly left.
"You actually let him go... That's not like you!"
Enel knew Cifer better than anyone else on the ship, and he didn't believe the latter would show mercy to his enemies.
"He's just a small fry; if he wants to cause trouble, he should go after his master!"
Cifer revealed a mysterious smile.
The five people and the deer chatted and laughed as they left this place of trouble. The people lying on the ground, who were pretending to be dead, were turned into real deaths by Enel's lightning.
Back on the sea, Cifer told Nolan why the Devil Fruit had stopped working. Although Nolan didn't show it, the frustration in his eyes was unmistakable.
She finally managed to board her idol's ship, become his companion, and even devour the treasures of the sea, but now she's told that she's just become a complete landlubber.
This immense psychological gap made her almost dizzy; she realized her talent wasn't that great.
Having followed Captain Cifer until now, although my strength and other abilities have increased, I still can't change the fact that I am the weakest one on the ship.
The Devil Fruit should have been her chance to catch up, but now even that little bit of hope has been extinguished. How can she keep up with these monsters?
How can one become powerful enough to make the king of the original country pay the price and reclaim what belongs to them?
Nolan wanted to cry, but he forced himself to hold it in, because that would only cause trouble for Captain Cifer, and it wasn't the captain's fault.
"Um... I think I'm a little tired. May I go back to my room to rest for a bit...?"
Nolan's eyes were red, and it seemed that tears were about to fall at any moment. She suddenly turned around and wanted to go into the cabin, but Cifer grabbed her small hand.
He gently made a small cut in Nolan's palm with his fingertip, and then a subtle Spiritual Pressure slowly seeped into it.
"What is this?!"
Nolan no longer felt aggrieved or uneasy, because she felt as if something was crawling into her body.
It felt icy cold, a strange sensation.
"Don't move!"
If everything is really as Cifer thinks, perhaps his crew members can embark on a completely different path.
Really!
He found it!
The remains of the Hollow within Nolan's body!
Since the essence of Devil Fruit is a new ability born from the combination of Hollow and Soul, it means that even if people in this world do not have Spiritual Pressure, they can still receive Spiritual Pressure.
Cifer began to gather the remains together using his Spiritual Pressure, while simultaneously enveloping his own Spiritual Pressure in a seed.
After finishing, Cifer simply wiped Nolan's palm lightly, and the small wound closed up completely, showing no signs of having been injured.
"How amazing... Captain Cifer left something inside my body just now, didn't he?!"
Nolan felt like he was different, as if he had inexhaustible energy and his spirits had become exceptionally high.
"It is my ability, and it will take root and sprout within you as you become stronger, becoming your new ability."
If Nolan's power replaced the void's position, then Nolan's abilities would naturally be bestowed by himself. What would they be?
