Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 119 Mercury Fruit
"Hey, just kidding, how can there be such a big Neptune?"

Nat was sweating profusely squatting behind several wooden barrels on the deck, looking at the terrifying scene on the sea not far away, shivering
Nat has been struggling in the first half of the great voyage for many years. It's not that he has never seen a sea king, and even his previous pirate group killed one, but the one they killed may not be enough for him to see now. A bite of Neptune

Nat knew that there were a large number of sea kings living in the calm zone. He thought that the sea kings in the calm zone were as big as the ones he had encountered before, and no matter how large they were, there must be a safe place. Escape, move carefully, and you can leave the calm zone safely

But now seeing the terrifying size and number of sea kings in front of him, Nat thought about the scene where he passed through these terrifying guys and left the windless belt. No matter how he thought about it, he felt hopeless

"It's going to die, it's going to die"

Nat was afraid to advance to the city, but in fact he was even more afraid of death, not to mention being eaten by sea kings, so his desire to escape gradually weakened
"Buzz~"

Soon he saw the leopard who often followed the hateful major who burned his hair opened its mouth and spit out a blue-white ball, which fell on the sea surface, and then a dazzling light flashed, and Nat was caught by the strong light. He narrowed his eyes sharply, and when the light dissipated, he saw that all the terrifying sea kings on the sea surface had all floated to the surface of the sea.
This scene completely shocked Nat, and also completely refreshed his cognition of the devil fruit. He knew that the leopard named solo ate the thunder fruit, and he learned about it from the mouth of the guard, but he did not expect that the thunder fruit actually With such a strong power, what he thought was completely invincible was so vulnerable in front of the thunder fruit

"Is this the real power of a devil fruit?"

Nat's views on devil fruit have always been different from others. He thinks that devil fruit is not very useful, and will add a weakness to himself that is afraid of water, so Nat has had the opportunity to eat a devil fruit many times but he didn't eat

But now he feels that the weakness of becoming a landlubber can be exchanged for the strength of that leopard, which is really worth it
And the powerful strength shown by Glenn and Solo also completely dispelled Nat's idea of ​​escaping. He felt that escaping from this man and a leopard was simply a dream, so he slipped back into the cabin quietly, preparing to return to the cell, obediently. Imprisonment
Nat returned the same way, and when he walked into the previous corridor, he suddenly heard voices coming from the front. Nat hurriedly turned and walked back to hide, but the navy on the deck saw that the warship was out of danger, and all After returning to the cabin, there were noisy footsteps and voices coming from behind Nat
Nat was in a dilemma. In desperation, he looked around to see if there was a hiding place, and suddenly saw a door next to him.
"This seems to be the major's room. He shouldn't come back so soon. Go in and hide for a while."

Nat said to himself, then opened the door and hid in Glenn's room

It was safe for the time being, but footsteps kept ringing outside the door, and Nat couldn't go out yet, so he simply checked in the room
Glenn's room is very simple, with a bed, a table, and a big blanket on the floor. Nat thinks it should be a place for the leopard to rest.

Nat saw three knives and a small wooden box on the table. He first picked up one of the knives and pulled out the scabbard. Even a person like him who doesn't know knives can see that this knife is very sharp. , definitely a famous knife
But Nat was kind of weird, thinking
"I've never seen that major use a knife. Could it be a trump card? But how can anyone use three knives?"

Then Nat picked up the wooden box again and opened it. Inside was a pineapple-shaped, silver-white fruit with many strange patterns on the surface. Nat's pupils shrank.

"Devil Fruit?!"

He had just seen the power of the thunder fruit, and his perception of the devil fruit changed, so he found a devil fruit. Nat's heart beat faster, and he hesitated whether to steal the devil fruit
After thinking for a while, Nat took out the devil fruit from the wooden box and hid it in his clothes

"He burned my hair away, so it shouldn't be too much for me to take a devil fruit from him."

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside the door had disappeared. Nat opened the door and looked left and right to confirm that no one was there, then slipped back into the cell on the lower floor
The guard outside the cell is still fast asleep, as long as Nat doesn't wake him up, he will sleep for at least 10 hours before waking up
Nat sits in the cell, pulls out the devil fruit, and prepares to eat the devil fruit

The reason why he had to go back to the cell to eat it was because Nat was afraid that after eating the Devil Fruit’s ability would show up and he would not be able to control it for a while, and would be discovered by others. However, returning to the cell would be relatively safer, and there was still one hour before the guards changed. During this period, no one will come to the cell

Nat opened his mouth and took a bite of the silver-white devil fruit

"Yuck~"

After taking the first bite, Nat almost vomited out his intestines, but he still resisted the feeling of vomiting and ate the rest of the devil fruit. He actually knew that he could just eat one bite, but he didn't want to eat the rest of the devil fruit. local processing, only to eat
After eating all the devil fruits, Nat carefully felt his body, and it seemed that there was no change

"Is this devil fruit fake?"

Just as he was thinking, his two hands suddenly turned into a silver-white liquid and flowed to the ground. Immediately after his arms, his whole body began to turn into a silver-white liquid, which flowed out of the iron railing along the ground. outside, even to the sleeping guards
But the guard didn't seem to have any abnormalities, and was still sleeping soundly. After a period of adaptation, Nat was finally able to control his ability, and took back all the silvery white liquid flowing outside, turning it into a his body

Nat stretched out his hand and released a small silver-white droplet in his palm, observing carefully, trying to figure out what kind of liquid it was

The silver-white liquid did not spread like water in Nat's hands, but gathered together, and it would flow slowly when Nat shook his hands

"Why does this look like quicksilver? I wouldn't have eaten quicksilver fruit, would I?"

In order to verify his conjecture, Nat dropped the silver-white liquid in his hand into the mouth of the sleeping guard. Mercury is highly poisonous. He wanted to see if the guard would have any poisoning reaction after drinking it.

"Snapped"

Nat snapped his fingers, and upon hearing the sound, the sleeping guard suddenly woke up
"Why did I fall asleep?"

He just woke up and seemed a little confused, rubbing his eyes

"It must have been too late to play cards with them yesterday"

Then the guard suddenly remembered something, looked up into the cell, and found that the prisoner was still there, heaved a sigh of relief, and touched the keys on his waist, he raised his head and asked Nat vigilantly:
"You didn't do anything while I was asleep, did you?"

Nat spread his hands
"Will I still be in the cell if I do something?"

"That's right, be honest"

Said the guard sat on the ground, looked at his watch, and waited for the shift changer to come

Soon it was time for shift change, and the guard who came to change shift came in from the door. The hypnotized guard stood up from the chair, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and almost fell down. The guard who changed shift quickly helped him
"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy"

"Then go to the infirmary and have a look."

"okay"

Seeing the appearance of the guard, Nat probably confirmed that his ability is the ability of mercury. At night, he learned from another guard that the previous guard was found to be mildly mercury poisoned. Nat has confirmed it 100% What he eats is the quicksilver fruit, but Nat doesn’t know whether he is natural or superhuman

At noon the next day, the warship arrived at the city of advancement. Nat was escorted out of the warship. Looking at the gate of the city of advancement, Nat knew that he would stay here for a long time, but he would not give up just like that , he will try his best to find a way to escape from inside

After handing Nat to the people in Advance City, Glenn set off and returned to the Navy Headquarters. He didn't stay in Advance City any longer. He was just a major. Even if he wanted to stay longer, the people in Advance City would not agree.
