Polusalino set up a pergola and watched the flocks of bats flying in the sky. The sky was gloomy and the sun didn't know when it would disappear.
"It seems~ it's not night yet~"
"Ah la la...Isn't the intelligence saying that the old gentleman likes to run to such a place these days?"
Kuzan couldn't help but yawned. Since Wright came to power, this "lazy justice" general has also fulfilled his promise, a little bit more diligent.
just……
"This weather... I really want to sleep..."
Smogg's mouth twitched, so do the generals have strange personalities?
"Nick cat, what exactly is Lederfield looking for?"
Patong wrinkled his face on Smogg's shoulder, and said with some uncertainty:
"The boss seems to be... looking for a ‘fruit’, but I don’t know what kind of fruit it is..."
"Fruit? Devil fruit?"
Smogg remembered that Lederfield was indeed not a capable person, so he wanted to find a devil fruit to enhance his strength?
"What kind of devil fruit is it that will make a strong man like him look for it for two years?"
Kuzan was also a little strange:
"The old man has already stood among the peak powers without the help of fruit ability. If a person like him wants to deliberately search for a fruit, how special this fruit will be..."
"Well~ he investigates so much~ relics, is this fruit~ some years old?"
Polusalino curled his lips:
"The devil fruit is ~ it's unpalatable~ this one~ it must be even more unpalatable~"
"Ah...that's not sure, but...who cares?"
Evil voices came, Polusalino, Kuzan, Smog, and Patong raised their heads and saw the top of the ruins. I don't know when the figure of Lederfield appeared.
"Old guy~It's fast~"
As one of the fastest capable people, Polusalino squinted his eyes, and Lederfield's speed was even comparable to him. This is a person who has never eaten devil fruit!
"Old sir...If I'm not mistaken, you now... even the kidnapping of hostages, such an indiscriminate act?"
Kuzan looked serious and stared at Lederfield-under the latter's feet, there was a civilian girl lying!
"Boss!"
Patong jumped off Smogg's shoulder and ran towards Lederfield:
"Boss, we've been together for so long, it's not good to be cloned!"
"It's me... I'm the only one who stays with the boss! I want to help the boss!"
Patong jumped on the ruins and bowed to Lederfield: "Boss! Please, please let me stay by your side!"
"..."
Lederfield looked at Patong in silence, then looked at the three navies below, with an indifferent expression:
"To become One Piece, it takes quite a bit of consciousness..."
"After returning from the battlefield of the top war, the old man understood this truth... It's better than Edward Newgate, so what happened in the end..."
"Love and sex? Family? Partners? Ha ha... What a pity, the man closest to One Piece, the name of an era, was so restrained by some boring reasons and died in Marin Vando..."
"The old man watched him die in battle, watched him yell'No Regrets'...hehe, yes, he was not meant to be a man of'One Piece'."
"This also proves that to become One Piece, those boring emotions are the biggest flaw..."
Lederfield slowly turned around, and in his hand, there was a dark purple devil fruit full of strange patterns!
"Curious, isn't it? I have been looking for it for so long... But luck is still on my side. It actually made me find such an excellent...ah, top archaeologist..."
Lederfield picks up from the corner of his mouth:
"'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate,'Golden Lion' Shiji, Buddha's Warring States Period,'Hero' Karp, and'Black Wrist' Zefa..."
"The era of the great pirate is at its peak, and these men are getting old..."
"In order to surpass them, one must have the consciousness to abandon everything... innocence, sympathy, and all fetters..."
"I admit, Patong... Even so, keeping you by my side is my weakness..."
"Boss!"
Patong raised his head dimly with teary eyes, but saw Lederfield bring the fruit in front of him:
"Abandoned innocence, abandoned sympathy, and finally... abandoned you..."
"I finally got ‘this’-Bat Fruit, Monster Beast, Vampire Form!"
"what!"
Kuzan, Polusalino, Smogg's pupils shrank, and the vampire...
Lederfield bit down the fruit in his hand, then discarded the rest, feeling the peculiar changes in his body, and smiled:
"In this way, I will become an immortal vampire..."
"Now...abandon the last thing..."
"stop!"
Smogg roared, and Lederfield suddenly appeared beside Patong and kicked out——
"what!"
Patong's unbelievable eyes have lost their look, and Lederfield's face is full of indifference after a grin:
"That's... ‘being a human’!"
"boom--"
The flying out Patong knocked down the walls of the ruins, and Lederfield turned into a **** light, flashing away Polusalino's laser and Kuzan's ice thorn:
"Ha ha ha ha... kidnapping? Naive boy, this is ‘food’ for the old man..."
Lederfield appeared, with a comatose civilian girl in his arms!
Lederfield's evil smile turned hideous, and he stretched out long canine teeth from his mouth, and bit down the white and tender neck of the girl!
"You old bastard!"
Kuzan only felt that he hadn't had the emotion of "anger" for a long time. The last time this emotion appeared, it was in O'Hara!
Leaping up, Kuzan's hands swept the cold air:
"Frozen·Time Capsule!"
The violent freezing air rushed towards Lederfield at high speed, and it was Polusalino's laser that was faster than him:
"So~ you are looking for death~ old sir~"
"boom--"
A violent explosion sounded in the distance, and neither the laser nor the ice could hit Lederfield. He turned into a blood shadow at a faster speed than before and disappeared in place.
Smogg hugged Patong who was in a coma and rushed to the girl, only to find that the young and beautiful girl just now had gray hair and wrinkles on her face!
"what have you done!"
Smogg's roar was interrupted by a strong **** light, and Kuzan and Polusalino looked seriously at the place where the **** light soared.
The blood dissipated, and Lederfield revealed his current image.
The leg joints are recurved, the long claw-like arms, the naked upper body muscles are full, and more importantly...
Lederfield's gray hair and beard have completely turned blood red!
Long bat-like pointed ears, and mask-like upper half of the face...
