Splashes of water fell on Carl's face, and he suddenly coughed violently. An abnormal flush appeared on his face, and some steam could even be seen coming out through his skin, as if his blood was "burning."
Ivankov and others behind him saw this and hurried forward. Ivankov supported Carl and said,
"Carl, are you okay? Your body..."
Carl calmed down for a while and then unbuttoned his chest. You could see scars with suture marks crisscrossing the skin at his heart, which looked extremely scary.
The skin on his body was also steaming, and his whole body was extremely red, especially the skin around his heart, which was the most obvious, like a red sun imprinted on it.
Judging from Carl's appearance, it looked very similar to Luffy's second gear state, but that was just superficial.
After Luffy enters the second gear, it is like being on stimulants. He can be said to be full of energy, while Carl will be deflated as soon as he enters this state. He can be as weak as possible.
This happens whenever he gets emotional or after strenuous activity.
This is obviously a problem inherent in the original body. Judging from the scars and the clothing that is obviously different from other slaves, the original body must have experienced something unusual.
However, Carl has not gained the memory of the original body, so he has no clue why there is such a problem.
"Damn it, forget it if you don't have Cheat, it even comes with its own debuff!"
Cursing secretly in his heart, Carl endured the discomfort and slowly sat on the ground. Kuma immediately sat up straight and let Carl lean on him.
Ginny held the water with her little hands and handed it to Carl's mouth, carefully letting him drink it.
The three people's concern was beyond words, which warmed the heart of the depressed Carl.
It was a blessing among misfortunes for him to meet these three people. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to survive until now. As for escaping from Valley of Gods, he would never even think about it.
Carl's only advantage is that he has read the comics and knows some key information, but the problem is that the six Devil Fruits were placed in Valley of Gods by the Celestial Dragons, and the comics did not describe their specific locations.
However, according to the mysterious saying that "fruits also choose their owners," as long as you follow Kuma, the probability of finding the Paw-Paw Fruit will be very high.
Among these six Devil Fruits, it can be confirmed that they are the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Azure Dragon Fruit.
These two alone can be said to represent the top fruits in Paramecia and Zoan respectively, and can be selected as prizes by Celestial Dragons.
In addition, the quality of a few pieces is definitely not much different.
However, as far as Carl knows, one of the other four boxes containing Devil Fruits is likely to contain the red-haired Shanks. To be precise, the number of Devil Fruits on the island should be five.
Carl guessed that there should be a Phoenix and a giant Buddha among them. He was not sure about the last one. He didn't know if Whitebeard had eaten the fruit now. If not, it was probably the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Anyway, no matter which one of these five Devil Fruits you eat, as long as you are not too salty or useless, you will reach the sky in one step, and your future potential will be unlimited.
Don't talk about "there are no useless fruit abilities, only useless ability users," anyone with any brains will know that this sentence is nonsense.
Look at Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi turned into the legendary "Sun God" Nika.
Can an ordinary bird in Zoan be compared to a Phoenix of a Mythical Zoan?
You said that Lucci was very powerful after eating an ordinary leopard fruit and could defeat Nika in two moves. However, isn't that just because Lucci has solid basic skills and excellent physical skills?
What if he ate a Azure Dragon or a Great Buddha? The increase away more impressive than a Leopard Fruit.
Since we are in the world of pirates, we must eat Devil Fruits. For Carl, without cheat, a powerful Devil Fruit is the basis for him to survive in the world of pirates.
Thinking of this, Carl raised his head and looked at Ginny seriously.
Ginny was locked by Carl's gaze, and she sat upright unconsciously and asked in a low voice,
"What, what's wrong Carl..."
"Ginny, are you sure you have passed on the information that there is the best Devil Fruit here?"
Speaking of this, Ginny's dirty little face instantly burst into a confident smile. She patted her chest hard and said,
"Don't worry Carl! This is my expertise. I can be sure that now everyone in the world who can receive the signal has heard the news!"
After receiving Ginny's confirmation, Carl breathed a sigh of relief. What he was afraid of was the butterfly effect caused by his joining, which resulted in the Rocks Pirates and Marines not appearing in Valley of Gods.
If these two forces had not come, Valley of Gods would still be a hunting ground, and they could only be prey to be slaughtered from beginning to end.
After all, they can be said to be complete weak chickens now, except for Kuma. It would be difficult for them to defeat an ordinary adult.
If they want to get the Devil Fruit, they have to cause chaos in Valley of Gods, so that they have a chance.
Starting from the day when Ginny spread the information, Rocks should have arrived by the time, because the number of slaves on the island has been greatly reduced. If Rocks didn't come, he might not be able to keep up.
Maybe tomorrow is when the melee begins.
Thinking of this, Carl narrowed his eyes and went through the plan again in his mind.
The Paw-Paw Fruit is the absolute core of this plan. Its ability is the guarantee that he, Kuma, and others can escape from Valley of Gods.
This is an absolute god-level Paramecia fruit. As long as he can find it, Carl will definitely eat it without hesitation. He has thought about how to develop the Paw-Paw Fruit several times in his mind these past few days.
Of course, the Azure Dragon Fruit is also very good, but Carl feels that compared to the concept-level Paw-Paw Fruit, the Azure Dragon Fruit is still a bit inferior.
And although the Azure Dragon Fruit has the ability to fly, it is definitely not enough to be seen in the battlefield of Valley of Gods where there are so many powerful people today.
With his current physique, his flying speed will definitely not be fast.
He had to be killed by an airborne Haki attack.
What's more, Carl has to consider taking away the three with Kuma. Although they have not known each other for a long time, people's relationships are often the strongest in desperate situations. Plus, Carl understands the character of these three people, which is worth a deep friendship.
Even though eating the Paw-Paw Fruit and running away alone was the best solution, Carl looked at the bow and arrow still stuck on Kuma's back and shook his head slightly.
People can be selfish, but they must not be heartless beasts.
