The Power of Mystic Insight
Long first looted all the valuable items and money in the palace, which also demonstrated the incredible power of the system's inventory.
Everyday items, as long as they are not overly complex energy objects, can basically be stored indefinitely.
Power sources like Devil Fruit have a quantity limit for each type.
It is related to the strength of the system and is directly proportional to Oboro's soul power.
Subsequently, the three of them also smuggled supplies from various arms factories in the capital.
After a long period of busy work, we finally left Fish Head Island.
This single gain is enough for a rookie One Piece crew to live comfortably for a long time to come.
Arms, banned drugs, and other prohibited items are all highly profitable products, especially in places like North Blue.
As for this kingdom, only the nobles and guards were destroyed. Although ordinary people were affected, Oboro did not burn the place down, so a large number of survivors lived.
However, an unexpected situation still occurred.
Oboro underestimated the Donquixote Family, or rather, Doflamingo's power in the North Blue.
Their One Piece ship had just left Fish Head Island.
A large number of ocean-going vessels of all kinds appeared on the sea surface... the number was astonishing.
Some of them were not One Piece ships, but simply merchant caravans.
Without exception, all of these ships immediately opened fire upon discovering the Hell Pirates.
In an instant, countless white waves erupted around the ship carrying Oboro and the other two.
Some shells came flying in from the air, but they were all intercepted or deflected by Oboro and Dom.
"These people..."
Dom landed from mid-air, his tone somber.
The fleet of ships appearing on the sea surface grew larger and larger, creating a strange sight.
Ships from various factions, including different One Piece crews, joined forces with cannon fire to besiege a rookie One Piece crew.
Under the barrage of cannon fire, Oboro and Dom alone couldn't hold out for long. Their One Piece ship wasn't well-equipped, and their counterattacks were limited. Their only advantage was their small size, making them less vulnerable to being hit at a certain distance.
However, among these aggressive fleets, several One Piece ships were clearly trying to get close, board them, and kill the three Hell Pirates.
"Doflamingo is clearly one of the key figures in the enormous pie of the North Blue. Other forces that want a piece of the pie have to be mindful of his wishes. If they could cooperate with the Donquixote Family, it would be an opportunity that these people could only dream of. So... with just a word from Doflamingo, a large number of people would be willing to die for him. Moreover, his influence among the North Blue One Piece is already quite high," Oboro analyzed.
Obviously, Doflamingo can't come, but the North Blue is, after all, his base of operations.
The other party must have issued an arrest warrant for the Hell Pirates.
Meanwhile, Dorans frantically steered the ship, trying to slip through the gaps in the enemy fleet. However, a hail of cannonballs ripped through the waves, making it impossible for the ship to maintain its balance. And the number of enemy ships continued to increase.
Whoever can defeat the Hell Pirates will have a path to advancement through the Donquixote Family's influence.
This alone is enough to drive all the forces in North Blue crazy.
"Captain... there's no escape!"
The seawater receded, soaking Dorans's clothes. He looked around and cried out in fear.
This is the most realistic naval warfare! Completely different from land warfare.
Unless an individual's abilities are exceptionally high, it's difficult to achieve the desired effect.
"Your Majesty... I'll go." Dom looked at a One Piece ship that was already a hundred meters away and approaching, and on the other side's deck, a group of One Piece grinning and brandishing their swords, and volunteered.
He can use his abilities to teleport directly to the enemy's ship and then slaughter everyone on board.
But this is not a solution; it only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause... because the enemy has too many ships.
"Hey! Newbie!"
At that moment, a figure stood on the bow of the One Piece ship opposite.
He appears to be the captain of this One Piece crew.
The man's loud shout, full of energy, still carried despite the great distance and the roar of artillery fire.
"You've got some nerve... you even dared to mess with the Joker's business!"
"I'm giving you a choice: obediently stop the ship... The Joker has already spoken; he's sparing your life because he wants to see you! If you resist, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Boom! The words had barely left his mouth when a shell struck the port side of the ship with a deafening roar, sending up a shower of wood chips and igniting a fire.
The ship also listed severely.
"Captain, the ship's frame has been damaged, and the cabins are about to flood!"
Upon seeing this, Dorans threw off the rudder and ran over.
He anxiously reminded him.
"Dom".
Oboro called out.
This indicates that Dom no longer needs to intercept the shells... because it's useless.
Then, Oboro walked to the bow of the ship and closed her eyes.
Invisible ripples spread out from him, quickly engulfing the entire sea.
However, this soul fluctuation, in terms of both range and effect, is far inferior to that of Oboro during Hunter x Hunter and Demon Slayer, but it is not a big problem to deal with the current battle situation.
Before long, everyone noticed something unusual about the sea.
The sea was turbulent, and many ships were attacked for no apparent reason.
Damage occurred.
"It's a sea monster!"
"A horde of sea monsters!"
"What's going on? How did so many ghostly things suddenly appear? Damn it!"
"Have we encountered a fish migration?"
"Defend immediately, quick!"
In an instant, panicked cries rang out from all the ships.
Suddenly, countless aquatic creatures of all shapes and sizes burst forth from the water, some ramming against the ship's hull, others leaping up and crashing onto the deck. These sea monsters, as if possessed, were indiscriminately attacking human vessels on the sea.
The Hell Pirates' ship was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. Oboro slowly opened his eyes, his head throbbing slightly.
Even eliciting this small fluctuation of his soul gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling...
This fluctuation of the soul is easily controlled by aquatic creatures that do not possess thought.
For people, especially powerful One Piece, unless they suppress their soul power and use it on a single target, it is difficult to affect them with this kind of group coverage.
But it did resolve the crisis.
At least, no more shells are being fired this way.
Immediately afterwards, Oboro raised his hand, making a Pistol gesture, and aimed at the One Piece ship that had just shouted at him.
He used the Qi Refining Technique, and the Qi Vortex on his index finger immediately began to spin rapidly.
Qi cultivation involves not only internal processes but also external ones.
There's a reason why Xuan Gate Qi Refinement made Long feel that he could reach the so-called 'Land Immortal Realm'.
Human blood and qi, as well as the essence of heaven and earth, can all be stimulated.
With Oboro's movements, suddenly, a fierce wind arose on the deck that had not yet fallen into the sea.
The wind was so strong that Dorans was almost blown away, but he managed to grab onto the railing in time.
Beneath the black bandages, Dom's pupils constricted.
Staring in disbelief at Long's fingertips, at that mass of air that seemed to be constantly compressed... air, which was originally invisible.
However, due to extreme compression, a large amount of Qi Sea was attracted, making the surrounding air thin and difficult to breathe... thus causing the colorless and formless Qi to undergo a qualitative change, becoming a bright light the size of a grain of rice.
This is after fluorescence formation.
The wind curtain dissipated, and everything became calm.
Then, just like firing a gun, Oboro gently lifted his finger.
A slender ray of rainbow light suddenly shot out.
As the light swept across the sea, it instantly unleashed a terrifying force, completely splitting the ocean between the two ships and creating towering waves tens of meters high, like white walls, that crashed into the enemy One Piece ship.
That enormous and imposing One Piece ship was even larger than an ordinary naval patrol ship, but when the light swept over it, the hull showed no signs of disintegration before it was instantly blown to pieces.
The crew on the ship, still dealing with the sea monsters, were completely unaware of their impending death when they were reduced to ashes.
Even more terrifying was that the burst of energy fired by Oboro didn't cause any smoke or fire like a cannonball... Instead, it exploded completely after hitting its target, forming a vast area of chaotic energy blades that actually sliced and tore the One Piece ship into pieces.
The seawater beneath the ship was stirred up by the airflow, creating an astonishing black hole vortex.
The swarm of sea monsters was instantly reduced to minced meat.
The water surface was dyed red.
"It's alright... but it's still a bit lacking." Seeing this, Oboro leisurely turned his finger and aimed at another ship that was closer.
Destroying a medium-sized One Piece ship is nothing compared to those monsters.
Let alone one ship, those monsters could easily take down several or even dozens of ships if they got angry.
Dom, standing beside him, was stunned.
My mind went completely blank.
Dorans, standing behind him, was practically staring wide-eyed...
What did they just see?
