Berserk Factor

Midair.

The Winged Gull's figure paused, its blood-red eyes fixed on Drake.

It had only one thought now: kill the opponent!

After Luo Sa reached a certain height, his body suddenly began to plummet, diving straight toward the Allosaurus, as if he intended to abandon his advantage of aerial supremacy and confront the Allosaurus head-on!

"Come on!"

Drake was not alarmed but delighted, bracing himself to take Luo Sa's attack head-on, thereby finding an opportunity to drag him down from the sky. Once on the ground, the opponent would be finished!

The Winged Gull's speed increased as it descended, like a meteor streaking across the sky, arriving before the Allosaurus in an instant.

Drake's gaze sharpened. He clenched a fist, intending to overpower it with brute force.

But just as he prepared himself, the opponent's figure vanished abruptly!

Then, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his abdomen—several bloody gashes had been torn open there.

"Impossible!"

Drake's mind was filled with shock, his face a mask of disbelief. The opponent's speed was so fast he couldn't even track it!

He quickly spun around and, sure enough, saw the opponent's figure gradually rising into the air. Judging by its posture, it seemed ready to strike again.

This time, Drake dared not be careless. His eyes locked onto the rapidly descending Seagull in the sky.

The scene played out again. Just as the Seagull was about to reach him, it vanished once more. Pain flared, and he found the opponent behind him again!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Winged Gull in the air seemed tireless, attacking the Allosaurus again and again.

The Allosaurus, for all its strength, could not catch the opponent's figure. Its body was repeatedly wounded. Fortunately, the Allosaurus's defense was equally monstrous, or it would have fallen long ago!

The Winged Gull flew back into the sky. This time, it chose not to attack but hovered in midair, panting heavily—clearly somewhat overexerted!

On the ground, Drake's appearance could only be described as miserable. There was not a single patch of unbroken skin left on his entire body!

"Damn it, at this speed, without mastering Observation Haki, there's no way to keep up!"

Drake ground his teeth, a sense of helplessness welling up inside him!

Fortunately, the opponent's attacks also consumed a great deal of stamina. If it came down to endurance, he didn't think he would lose!

"Come again!"

The Allosaurus spoke in human tongue, taunting the Winged Gull in the air.

The Winged Gull's eyes gleamed with ferocity. This time, it did not choose a frontal assault but instead mobilized all the Flying Attribute energy in its body.

Its wings flapped violently, stirring up a gale. Gradually, two Air Blades formed before it, glinting with a chilling light under the sun!

Whoosh!

The two Air Blades were slashed out, cutting through the air with a roaring sound like tearing wind. Carrying immense wind pressure, they hurtled toward the Allosaurus on the ground.

The Air Blades flashed and vanished, striking Drake's arms before his stunned eyes.

Blood splattered instantly. The Allosaurus's body, its greatest pride, was torn open like paper, exposing deep bone!

If one looked closely, they could see faint cracks on the exposed bone!

AOOOOW!!!

A wretched roar rang out. Drake's body could no longer maintain the Allosaurus form, reverting to human shape, looking utterly pathetic!

The Winged Gull's eyes gleamed with excitement. It dove down, as if it could already see its wings cleaving the enemy in two!

"Luo Sa, stop!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from afar. Garp's body moved swiftly, his hand already coated in black Armament Haki.

"Damn it! Stop!"

On the ground, Drake's face was also filled with terror. For the first time, he felt how close death truly was!

Just as he closed his eyes in despair, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared before him.

Then, he saw the man reach out with both hands and grab the Winged Gull's glowing white wings!

"Luo Sa, what's wrong! Wake up!"

Garp shouted urgently, able to tell that Luo Sa was in a very bad state at the moment.

Hearing Garp's voice, the Winged Gull trembled but still struggled violently.

"Luo Sa, it's Grandfather, it's Grandfather. Don't you recognize Grandfather anymore?" Garp continued shouting, his expression frantic.

"Damn it, Luo Sa absorbed too much of that mysterious energy. Now he's like those monsters, fallen into a berserk state!"

Zephyr also arrived at that moment, his face dark as he looked at Luo Sa.

He never imagined that Luo Sa, a Zoan Type Devil Fruit user, could be affected by the Berserk Factor!

"Take him off this island. Once he's away from here, Luo Sa should recover!"

Garp nodded immediately, picked up Luo Sa, and charged toward the island's edge!

"Huff, huff, huff!"

On the naval warship, Luo Sa's consciousness finally recovered, and he began to gasp heavily.

"Luo Sa, are you alright?"

Garp's face lit up with surprise, and he asked with a worried tone.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired from the body!"

Luo Sa shook his head, recalling the frenzy from before, still feeling a lingering fear.

"What exactly was that?"

Luo Sa's eyes rarely showed fear; he had nearly lost consciousness amidst the slaughter!

"That's a kind of Berserk Factor, existing in the Heavenly Pool and flowing through the rivers across the entire island!"

"Luo Sa, did you go to the Heavenly Pool?" Zephyr interjected from the side, his expression grave.

"Yeah, I went there, and I even drank the water. It tasted great, and it seemed to contain some strange power."

Luo Sa's gaze flickered, his words seven parts truth and three parts false.

"That explains it."

Zephyr breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then the cause was found.

Zephyr naturally knew about the mysterious power contained in that water; the main purpose of their Survival Trial was actually to obtain this power!

However, he hadn't expected that the pool water could send a Zoan Type Devil Fruit into a berserk state!

"By the way, you can't blame me for nearly killing Drake."

"I was already trying my hardest to suppress it, but he kept provoking me, which finally pushed me into that berserk state."

Garp nodded slightly, then his expression suddenly turned somewhat serious.

"That dead Monkey-Monkey Fruit user was a friend Drake grew up with, so it's only natural he acted that way."

"And also..."

"Was that Monkey-Monkey Fruit user killed by you?"

"Monkey-Monkey Fruit user?"

"I killed a bunch of monkeys, but what Monkey-Monkey Fruit user? I've never heard of that?!"

"Grandfather, you're not telling me that Monkey-Monkey Fruit user turned into a monkey and blended into the monkey troop, are you?"

Luo Sa's heart stirred at this, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Uh?"

Garp opened his mouth, but in the end found himself speechless. They hadn't seen that Monkey-Monkey Fruit user on the surveillance footage.

But when they cleaned up the battlefield, that Monkey-Monkey Fruit user's corpse suddenly appeared on the scene.

Come to think of it, that Monkey-Monkey Fruit user really could have been mixed in with the monkeys and been killed by Luo Sa by mistake!
