Grandline Road
The war was endless in the forest at the foot of Mount Geta.
Locke was lying in a pool of blood. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were flashing with unwillingness. He did not want to die in such a cowardly way. He had not seen this world properly and had not fulfilled his original dream. He had not completed the goals of those dead children.
"I can't accept this!" All the strength in his body gathered into this sentence, and he roared out with all the power in Locke's body.
"Thump thump thump!" It was unknown whether it was because of Locke's roar or because the aftermath of the battle was too great. In short, just as Locke finished speaking, a fruit full of strange purple lines rolled to Locke's side.
Locke turned his head to look at the fruit, used his last strength, grabbed it, and stuffed it into his mouth. Before losing consciousness, the word "unpalatable" kept appearing in Locke's mind.
The general took Odge to Locke's side, looked at the completely dead Locke, and ignored him. He left directly with Odge. After all, he did not think Locke could survive such a severe fatal injury.
After an unknown period, Locke slowly opened his eyes. The dazzling sunlight forced Locke to stretch out his hand to block the light. "Oh, as expected, he didn't die." Locke slowly sat up and touched the initially collapsed bone in his chest. It had completely recovered. Perhaps this was the second golden finger he had obtained after coming to this world.
No matter how severe the injury was, as long as he did not die on the spot, as long as he ate, he could quickly recover completely. He slowly stood up and took off his tattered military coat. His body was full of muscle lines, and he did not look like a ten-year-old.
Rock shook his head and stopped thinking. He quietly felt the strange power that suddenly came out of his body. This is my devil fruit ability. My luck is excellent. It is gravity. Isn't that the ability of the admiral and Fujitora in a few decades? I didn't expect that I would eat it first.
Rock opened his palm, and a purple light lit up slightly. The stone on the ground was floating under the control of Locke's gravity fruit ability. The little stone floating in the air flew up and down with Locke's control, playing happily.
After a long time, after thoroughly familiarizing himself with his fruit ability, Locke prepared to get up and look for Barett, who had also been sent flying.
The forest at the foot of Geta Mountain was the most dangerous in the entire kingdom. There were countless savage and violent beasts living in the woods.
They possessed terrifying strength and powerful defense. They were not something that ordinary humans could defeat.
Even though the entire country lacked food, no one dared to come to this forest to catch wild beasts to satisfy their hunger. Because if they were not careful, they would become the food of wild beasts. Locke wandered in the forest, looking for traces of Barett.
"Sha -"
"Sha -"
Suddenly, a strange noise came from the grass, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes flashed. At some point, Locke was surrounded by a group of ferocious wolves. Their eyes flashed with a fierce light, and they bared their teeth. They continuously secreted saliva from their mouths as they stared at Locke. They kept roaring.
Locke did not show any signs of panic. For ordinary people, these ferocious beasts were invincible. However, for a little monster like Locke, they were not much of a threat. He slowly pulled out the long sword he picked up from the road and covered the blade with a light purple halo. Locke looked around the wolves and then took the initiative to attack.
"Ow!" Seeing the prey in front of them take the initiative to attack, the wild wolves immediately roared and rushed together.
"Gravity Blade, Reverse Repulsion!" Locke waved the long sword, and a light purple halo flashed. Then a reverse force spread through the gravity circle, immediately sending the wolf pack flying.
Locke did not stop. He strode forward and instantly arrived in front of a wolf. A sword light flashed and directly cut its head off. "Pu ci!" Red wolf blood immediately sprayed out, dyeing the ground beneath his feet red.
Ignoring him, Locke leaned slightly to the side and dodged the wolf pouncing at him from behind. He swept his sword and cut the wolf in half. After quickly killing the two wolves, Locke was not careless at all. Because of the stimulation from the blood, the remaining wild wolves became even more violent.
They kept roaring and began to pounce on Locke even more fiercely. They kept opening their big mouths, trying to bite Locke to death with their sharp teeth. However, Locke did not retreat. He could also use these wild wolves to get familiar with the ability he had just obtained.
"Gravity Blade, Fierce Tiger!" After kicking away a few wild wolves, Locke held his sword. A thick purple light flashed on the blade, and then Locke threw it forward with all his might.
Buzz!
The terrifying horizontal gravity immediately distorted the space before him with Locke's wave.
"Crack!"
"Ow!"
As the space distorted, countless trees and rocks were shattered. The wolf's body before him was broken, and it let out a sorrowful cry. With just a single attack, the area in front of Locke was wholly reduced to ruins.
"Hu, hu -"
After the attack, Locke also let out a loud gasp. Locke never thought imitating Fujitora's smile would consume so much of his strength to launch this attack. Just one attack was almost enough to empty his physical strength.
However, after thinking about it, Fujitora, who was over 20 years old, had already become a Marine Admiral, a monster worthy of its name. Moreover, at that time, the gravity fruit had already developed to the point of being abnormal. Of course, it was not something that the current ten-year-old Locke could compare to.
However, although this attack cost more than half of Locke's strength, the harvest was also pleasant. Locke personally experienced the power of the gravity fruit. At the same time, because of this attack, he killed most of the wolves, making the pack of wolves flee in fear.
Looking at the corpses of the wolves on the ground, Locke also felt that his stomach was a little hungry. Soon, the fragrance of roasted meat floated up. Locke grabbed a skewer of roasted meat and ate it in large mouthfuls.
"Kacha!" Suddenly, a clear sound came from the shrubs behind him. A disheveled, dirty, tattered, and golden-haired Barrett walked out.
"Locke! I finally found you. I knew that you wouldn't die so easily!" Locke laughed when he heard this. He picked up a skewer and handed it to Barett.
"Of course. After all, I haven't completed our dream. How could I die so easily?" Barett laughed loudly, took the roasted meat, and started munching on it. He hadn't had a good meal for more than a week.
The sky had darkened entirely when they finished eating and drinking. The bright moon hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight made the forest appear even more heartless. "Hey, Locke, I almost starved to death a few days ago. After eating a strange, disgusting fruit, I suddenly gained a strange ability."
Locke looked at Barrett in surprise. He didn't expect that Barett would also become a devil fruit user. Was it the fusion fruit of the original work? Then, Barett's words dispelled the expectations in Locke's heart.
"I can suddenly merge any non-living thing into one with myself, be it trees, stones, or the earth." After saying that, reading the book directly activated his ability. Immediately, the wooden stick in his hand ultimately merged with his arm.
His arm became as slender as the wooden stick just now. Looking at Barett, Locke suddenly laughed. "Hahaha, Barett, you have obtained a good devil fruit ability."Barett looked at Locke strangely when he heard Locke's words.
"Devil fruit? What is that?" Locke explained to him after hearing Barett's question. Devil fruit is a fruit that contains the power of a devil. As long as you eat it, you can obtain the power of a devil. Every devil fruit has a different power and will not be repeated.
Of course, one had to pay a corresponding price to obtain power. The price one had to pay was to be utterly disgusted by the sea and become a dry duck. After listening to Locke's explanation, Barett also laughed excitedly.
After all, obtaining a devil fruit and becoming an ability user was extremely fortunate. Moreover, this ability that Locke called a fusion fruit was also compelling. "Also, Barett, I ate a devil fruit and became an ability user." After saying that, Locke activated his ability. The flames burning on the ground floated in the air under Locke's ability.
Barett was also shocked by the scene before him, but his shock quickly turned into excitement. "Hahaha, what a good ability. Locke, since we all have gained the ability and become stronger than before, let's begin to destroy this country!"
