Chapter 148 Eight-star [Physique]! (Two updates, 9k, please subscribe!)

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, the eight-star trophy!

Storm looked at the [Shining Moon Trophy] that emerged from the void, and directly cancelled his [Clay Fruit] ability. His entire body size shrank rapidly, and he returned to his original appearance from a giant.

"This eight-star trophy is completely worthy of the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

Storm recalled his fight with Hawkeye Mihawk over the past few days.

Even if we put aside the opponent's swordsmanship level, the special technique of "Haowang Haki Entanglement" alone is enough to explain everything!

"Hegemonic color..."

Storm raised his right hand, opened and closed his five fingers a few times, and his eyes fluctuated and changed accordingly.

"Forget it! Let's take stock of the [Big Trophy] in our hands!"

[Figure King] Mihawk, who was granted Hawkeye, fell to the ground seriously injured.

The other party couldn't regain consciousness for a while.

Storm simply called out his [Big Trophy].

Except for Hawkeye Mihawk's eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy].

Storm still has a lot of six-star [Blood Diamond Trophies] in his hands.

A total of eight Death Diamond trophies - all from the selfless dedication of the prisoners of Impel Down's Infinite Hell!

Storm's current attributes and abilities are basically above seven stars, which means that the six-star trophy cannot add points or improve his abilities.

But this does not mean that the six-star trophy is useless to Storm!
Storm raised his right hand, and the five [Devil Rings] were reflected in his pupils.

[Clay Ring], [Nine-Tailed Fox Ring], [Momo Ring], [Thunder Ring], [Piao Piao Ring]...

A long time ago.

Storm has been thinking about how to improve the quality level of these [Devil Rings].

Because apart from the original [Devil Ring], all the [Devil Ring Replicas] he obtained later were only six-star items, which could only exert the ability of a six-star devil fruit at most.

Affected by the level of [Devil's Ring: Imitation].

Except for the [Clay Fruit].

Other devil fruits such as the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, Momo Fruit, Thunder Fruit, Float Fruit, etc., which are extremely superior in terms of ability or potential, are unable to exert their greatest power.

At the time, Storm considered two solutions.

Alternatively, transfer other devil fruit abilities to the nine-star [Devil Ring] to unleash their greater power.

Or, upgrade the quality level of [Devil's Ring·Replica]!

After some thought.

Storm decided to take the second approach.

However, at that time, Storm himself did not have enough [Big Trophies] - even if he had a six-star [Diamond Trophy], he paid more attention to improving his own [Physique] and [Domineering] attributes.

Now the opportunity has finally come!

A Death [Blood Diamond Trophy] can directly upgrade the ability level of a [Devil Ring·Replica] or a Devil Fruit from the original "six-star" to "seven-star".

Storm looked at the five [Devil Rings] he possessed.

Except for the original nine-star [Devil Ring].

The other four are all [Devil's Ring·Imitation]!
Storm first looked at the [Momo Ring].

The power of the Momo Fruit is unquestionable.

[Momo Fruit] can multiply attributes at will, even by ten or a hundred times.

This devil fruit means a lot to Storm.

Without thinking, he took out two [Blood Diamond Trophies] and put them into the [Momo Ring].

A dazzling light flashed by that was imperceptible to others.

The quality level of [Devil Ring·Imitation] and the [Momo Fruit] contained in it has undergone a leapfrog improvement at this moment!

[Devil's Ring·Imitation: ★★★★★★★] (Seven Stars)

[Momo Fruit: ★★★★★★★] (Seven Stars)

"Seven-star Momo Fruit!"

Storm closed his eyes and silently felt the power of the current [Momo Fruit].

The previous [Momo Fruit] was upgraded to six stars - that is, the [Awakening] level - by him adding points.

But it is different from the [Clay Fruit].

After Storm upgraded the [Clay Fruit] to the [Awakening] level, he immediately gained the ability to make the clay assimilate the surrounding natural environment.

But the Momo Fruit does not have such a special ability to assimilate the surrounding environment...

This is determined by the different types of parahuman devil fruits.

However, the [awakening] of the [Momo Fruit] also has its own peculiarities.

Before [Awakening].

[Momo Fruit] can only apply this "multiplication" ability to other substances touched by Storm.

But after [Awakening].

The power of the [Momo Fruit] can already work on Storm himself!

But overall.

After the [Momo Fruit] [awakens], its ability effect is still very "simple and unpretentious" - super doubled!
Now Storm continued to upgrade the points of [Momo Fruit] to seven stars.

He felt it carefully, but didn't feel any special changes. He could only feel that the upper limit of the [Momo Fruit] had been broken.

simply put.

The original [Momo Fruit]'s "super multiplication" can only achieve a "hundred-fold increase" at most.

Now the "super doubling" effect of the [Momo Fruit] has reached "a thousand times increase"!
of course.

Based on Storm's previous experience.

When using the Momo Fruit, you don't have to simply raise the multiplication number to the highest possible level to achieve the best multiplication effect.

It's like increasing the speed of the Thunder Fruit by a hundred times...

It's really easy to hit a wall.

"The best way to use the Momo Fruit is to maximize the multiplication effect within the limits of what you can control!"

"A thousand times the Momo Fruit... I still need to keep practicing and adapting to its abilities..."

Storm temporarily put away the [Momo Ring] that had been upgraded to seven stars, and focused his attention on the remaining rings.

One blood diamond trophy after another was thrown into these rings by him.

[Thunder Ring/Piao Piao Ring: ★★★★★★★] (Seven-star)
The four blood diamond trophies disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there are two rings, the [Thunder Ring] and the [Floating Ring], which have been upgraded to seven stars.

The combat power of "Whitebeard II" and "Golden Lion II" may usher in a leapfrog improvement...

cough!
【Momo Ring】.

【Thunder Ring】.

【Floating Ring】.

After Storm upgraded these three rings to seven stars, he had used up six of his blood diamond trophies, and he still had two death diamond trophies left.

He thought for a moment and upgraded the last [Devil's Ring·Replica] to seven stars.

However, the level of the [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] inside was not upgraded by him.

"This [Mythical Beast Species: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit]..."

Storm was clearly looking at the [Nine-Tailed Fox Ring], but the shadow of another devil fruit appeared in his mind.

"I still have a [Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit] in my hand..."

It has been a while since Storm got the Flame-Flame Fruit. Before, he had no intention of "eating" the Flame-Flame Fruit—he even gave it away twice.

But neither Nami nor Ace has any interest in the [Flame-Flame Fruit].

This apparently pretty good natural devil fruit has remained in Storm's hands.

Just like the [Tyrannosaurus Fruit] that is almost covered in dust...

But no matter how bad the [Flame-Flame Fruit] is.

In Storm's eyes, its significance and value cannot be challenged by the Tyrannosaurus Fruit.

As for the [Mythical Beast Species: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit]...

At that time, Storm was able to "abandon" the [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] once for the [Float-Float Fruit].

So now Storm can also "abandon" the [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] for the [Flame-Flame Fruit] for the second time.

"If no one uses it, I'll use it!"

"It is our duty to restore the glory of Shao Shao!"

Storm called out the last blood diamond trophy.

Make a wish once and get a six-star [Devil's Ring·Replica].

Add points once and get the six-star [Awakened] [Flame-Flame Fruit]!
【Burning Ring】, born!

The number of [Devil Rings] that Storm owns has officially reached six!

He was not in a hurry to digest these newly upgraded and newly acquired [Devil Fruit] abilities, but instead took out the eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy] that he had just obtained by defeating Hawkeye Mihawk.

"My Armament Haki level is seven and a half stars. I'm not in a hurry to improve this ability..."

"As for the [Physique] attribute, [Endurance] is eight stars, and the remaining [Strength] and [Speed]..."

"It's decided to be you, [Strength] attribute!"

Storm invested this last eight-star trophy directly into his own [Strength] attribute, raising it to eight stars.

[Strength: ★★★★★★★★] (8 stars)

Since then, Storm's [Strength] and [Endurance] attributes have all reached eight stars!

Thanks to these two attributes, Storm's [Physique] was directly promoted to eight stars!
"Wuhu! Cheers, applause!"

A familiar feeling of hunger surged in his heart, and Storm released the ability of the [Clay Fruit], pinching a few blue-eyed white dragons made of porcelain clay, and letting them capture sea kings in the sea next to them.

While preparing the food, Storm thought for a moment, then walked to Hawkeye Mihawk and silently took out a camera-den-den-mushi.

……

Hawkeye Mihawk had been unconscious for an unknown amount of time.

The aroma of grilled meat wafted into his nose, and Hawkeye Mihawk opened his eyes instantly.

All the memories before the coma surfaced in Hawkeye Mihawk's brain.

"I was defeated by Bai Long, that guy who blasphemed swordsmanship..."

Hawkeye Mihawk was lying deep in the pit, looking at the vast sky, a long-lost feeling of frustration filling his heart.

"Bai Long, what's going on with that guy..."

After waking up, Hawkeye Mihawk still couldn't understand White Dragon's strange abilities.

According to the intelligence we obtained previously, isn’t White Dragon’s ability the [Clay Fruit]?

The fact that the [Clay Fruit] could develop a flying Blue-Eyes White Dragon was outrageous enough...

That strange form that seemed to be burning with white fire all over its body, like a devil...

what exactly is it?
Hawkeye Mihawk managed to sit up straight and raised his right hand, trying to cover his head.

But a strange feeling came over him.

Hawkeye Mihawk was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at his right hand - that could no longer be called a "hand"!

It was a broad and flat wing covered with dense, shiny dark brown feathers. It was definitely a very beautiful and majestic wing in the eagle world.

"..."

Hawkeye Mihawk looked at his "arm" at this moment, and he fell silent instantly, with his brain almost blank.

His right hand that can hold a knife, drink wine, and farm...

How did it turn into a wing?
It took about half a minute.

Hawkeye Mihawk finally got rid of this extremely intense mental shock and barely woke up from his confused state.

It was only then that he had time to notice changes elsewhere.

For example.

It was not only his right hand that was turned into wings, but also his left hand.

Another example.

His feet were once again transformed into a pair of slender yet ferocious bird claws.

Another example.

His mouth was also turned into a sharp and slightly hooked bird's beak.

At this time, Hawkeye Mihawk doesn't look like "the world's greatest swordsman with eagle-like sharp eyes", but more like "a half-human, half-beast harpy demon"...

"White Dragon!!!"

Even if Hawkeye Mihawk used his bird claws to think, he could figure out who had turned him into this horrible appearance.

With a burst of [Haki], Hawkeye Mihawk forcibly expelled the power of the [Clay Fruit] from him, and his entire body returned to his original human body.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah~ (That's enough)"

Storm's voice reached Hawkeye Mihawk's ears at this time.

"I put so much effort into turning your body into what it was just now, and you didn't even take care of it.

"What a cold-blooded fellow."

Storm held a piece of sea king barbecue in his right hand and a photo in his left hand.

He flicked his finger lightly, and a "Limited Edition Sleeping Photo of the Harpy" flew directly in front of Hawkeye Mihawk.

"Don't you think this image fits your title? Hawkeye."

Hawkeye Mihawk looked at the photo at his feet. With his excellent eyesight, he could see every detail in the photo.

"Bai Long, you bastard..."

Hawkeye Mihawk was extremely angry.

“You’re still taking photos…”

"After all, I am the winner!"
