Eternal Night

Chapter 749 Wu Pifu Discovered the Key Point!

The port city of Hai Sha is one of the largest port cities in the first half of the Grand Line and one of the important military districts established by the World Government in the first half of the Grand Line. At least three vice admirals and one admiral are stationed here all year round, and every few years a marshal will even descend here to deter all kinds of villains.

At this very moment, the general stationed here, Had, the user of the Crab Fruit Mythical Zoan type Crab form, was restless.

As a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it is far rarer than Logia-type and powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruits. The Crab Form Devil Fruit is said to be one of the strongest Devil Fruits in the world. The previous owner of the Crab Form Devil Fruit was known as the strongest general below the Ascension level and the most powerful general above the Ascension level.

Crab Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Crab Form: This ability is a rule-based ability, and a world-class rule at that.

Within the Mountain and Sea Realm, anyone who abides by the rules will experience a percentage decrease in strength when facing a crab-form ability user. The more they abide by the rules, the greater the percentage decrease, potentially reaching as high as 99%. Conversely, those who disregard the rules will experience a smaller decrease. Furthermore, those who not only disregard the rules but also break them will see their strength increase by a percentage when facing a crab-form ability user.

It seems that this Devil Fruit has become a negative factor when facing outlaws, right?

No, that's not the case, because the "rules" here are the rules set by the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
In other words, anyone within the Mountain and Sea Realm can be countered by the Crab Fruit, the only difference being the degree of counteraction. However, if someone dares to not only disobey the rules but also break them, their strength will indeed increase by a percentage, but they will be directly punished by the Heavenly Dao.

This is considered directly borrowing the power of divine punishment, so the Crab Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Crab form, is also known by many as the Divine Punishment Fruit.

Because he ate this heaven-defying fruit, Had can practically ignore everyone. Not only can he act independently within the World Government, but he can also treat Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragon nobles, and Celestial Dragon families as equals, relying on this special Devil Fruit. Even the six Fleet Admirals who represent the pinnacle of humanity in this world, as long as he doesn't get too cocky, these evolved beings are too lazy to bother with him.

Therefore, in theory, as long as he is within the Shan Hai Realm, Had can truly be without any restrictions, and even the so-called unrestrained Kuang Sha General is far less carefree than him.

But now Had felt inexplicably uneasy and anxious. He couldn't explain where this anxiety came from. He could only fiddle with his collection of antique treasures for a while before calling his secretary over: "Contact the Goblin Merchant Guild for me. What about the 83-year-old elven virgin princess I ordered? It's been almost three months since I placed the order, and I've already paid the deposit. When will they deliver it?"

The secretary, a long-legged beauty wearing glasses and stockings, calmly nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will contact the Goblin Merchant Guild immediately."

Hader, a sleazy-looking middle-aged man with slanted eyes, scratched his messy hair and said, "By the way, Misato, come to my manor tonight."

The secretary calmly replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will arrive promptly after dinner."

Hader had been somewhat aroused, but the inexplicable palpitations made him flustered, so he immediately waved for his secretary to leave.

Suddenly, the window of the general's office behind him burst open, and a hurricane blasted in. The secretary immediately unleashed Armament Haki, barely managing to withstand the gale. However, Had was caught off guard and was blown against the wall by the gale. Although he also immediately unleashed Armament Haki and managed to withstand the gale, it undoubtedly made him lose face.

Hadr, who also possessed Observation Haki, carefully sensed it and then roared, "How dare you! A madman dares to run wild on my territory!?"

As he spoke, Hader had already rushed into the raging wind, his feet treading on the air, and in a few leaps he had already reached the vicinity of the port.

The port was in complete disarray. Gale-force winds swept in from the sea, capsizing and tossing the ships docked in the port, and even hitting ships on the port's land.

Had sensed the source of the killing intent and fighting spirit, and charged toward that direction with a wild roar. However, he had only gone less than a kilometer when his Observation Haki, which was not yet at its peak, finally "saw" his target... A general with only half of his body left was being carried by a stranger, while another general he recognized, the holder of the Bomb Devil Fruit, was fleeing like a madman.

"What!?"

Hader was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know when such a formidable figure had appeared on the high seas, and that even two admirals couldn't defeat him.

Could they be those old monsters from the lawless zone in the latter half of the Grand Line?

But it looks so unfamiliar...

Because of Hard's independent and maverick style, he was not well-liked in the World Government. Moreover, relying on his Devil Fruit, he almost ignored everyone, so the Celestial Dragons rarely gave him any orders. Therefore, he was unaware that the World Government had sent six admirals to besiege Wu Pifu.

However, now that he had seen it and it had come to his territory, he naturally couldn't ignore it. He immediately roared, "Kneel down in front of me!"

Just then, the man carrying half a general pointed forward and roared, "Kneel before me!"

Both of them were stunned for a moment, but the next second, a dark beam of light shot straight from the newcomer's finger. The admiral with the Bomb Fruit immediately roared in despair, "Admiral Had, Admiral Had, Lord Had, save me! I will repay you!"

Had was also stunned at this moment. He couldn't believe that there were still people on this ocean who didn't know about his River Crab Fruit. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with me here, you can..."

As the words were spoken, the attack, which had initially appeared as a beam of light, suddenly transformed into a dark jade pillar when it approached within a kilometer of Had. It was very similar to the towering jade pillar that had appeared when Daiyu, the Goddess of the Sea, attacked this realm, but only one meter in diameter. Unlike the previous Star River Profound Yuan Cannon, it did not spread out; instead, it remained a jade pillar, shooting forward. It merely grazed the edge of the Bomb Fruit General, instantly pulverizing him and disappearing without a sound. The dark jade pillar then flew past the port, soaring into the sky before vanishing beyond the horizon. Anything grazed by the pillar was wiped away, just like Wu Pifu's true damage annihilation effect, leaving not a trace.

"what?"

Wu Pifu, who had fired the Star River Profound Origin Cannon, looked at his fingers in surprise. He glanced at Had, who was also dressed in a general's uniform and was frozen in place in fear. He ignored Had and turned to the sea, repeatedly shouting, "Kneel down before me!" He kept firing attacks such as the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Star River Profound Origin Cannon, and the blade light of the Death-Seeking Greatsword, but none of the attacks had any effect.

The Great Dragon title has a powerful effect: as you shout out various lines, your attacks will be multiplied. Among them, the line "Kneel down before me" can be multiplied by about seven times. Although it is not the line with the greatest multiplier, it is short and can be shouted quickly, so Wu Pi Fu often uses it.

But the power of the Star River Profound Origin Cannon he just fired was wrong; even its form changed. This was definitely not the effect of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon being seven times stronger. He tested it multiple times and found that it wasn't because the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon title had been upgraded. Moreover, the admiral who had just used the Bomb Fruit possessed excellent Armament Haki. An attack from five steps away could at most severely injure him, but it was impossible for it to achieve an annihilation effect. Therefore, the Star River Profound Origin Cannon must have undergone some kind of strange qualitative change...

After bombarding the sea, Wu Pifu turned his attention to Had.

It was only then that Hader recovered from the reality of the Bomb Fruit Admiral's death. Although he was terrified, his long-standing confidence, especially his perception of Wu Pifu, restored his courage. He put his hands on his hips and roared imposingly, "What are you looking at? Try looking again!"

Thirty seconds later...

With a bruised and swollen face, Had knelt on the harbor and described his Crab Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Crab form ability at lightning speed.

"...Can it be like this? And 'harmonious'...that's such a familiar term."

Wu Pifu looked completely bewildered and confused. He looked at Had in front of him from side to side. He never expected that he would encounter a new superposition multiplication zone in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Moreover, it seemed to be a superposition multiplication zone with multiple percentage judgments, similar to Chu Minghao's Red Wolf title. This was not just a power multiplication effect, but also an effect that could improve one's rank, level, and even levels such as "Divine Transformation", "Peak", and "Ultimate Manifestation".

Wu Pifu looked at Had with shining eyes, while Had, who had been rampaging for decades with the Crab Fruit Mythical Zoan Crab Form, whose physical skills, supernatural abilities, and domineering aura were all lacking, began to tremble in fear.

"Stay here and don't move!"

Wu Pifu threw the severed half of the general onto the harbor, then carried Had to a reef outside the harbor. He then retreated to a distance of a kilometer and shouted loudly at Had.

"I dare not move, I dare not move." Had waved his hands repeatedly, his legs trembling, he was so scared that he almost wet himself.

The next second, Wu Pifu was wearing a bio-armor, stockings, and a short skirt. She shouted a chuunibyou slogan and then unleashed a Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms attack on Had... a hundred meters away.

A nine-clawed golden dragon, shimmering with golden light, traversed the mountains and seas, flying directly from the Grand Line into the Inner Sea of ​​the Mountain and Sea Realm, then across the Inner Sea and into the Old Continent…

Wu Pifu's eyes lit up; he had discovered the key point!

A moment later, on the fifth-tier warship where Mei was, the entire crew stared in disbelief as Wu Pifu carried a general who was still alive but had half his body torn off. Then there was another general with a bruised and swollen face, his limbs broken, and he was tied to Wu Pifu's back with a rope as a cloak.

"My lord, what is this...?" Mei couldn't help but ask.

Wu Pifu tossed the severed general onto the ship: "Find any port, take him to the naval base and demand a ransom of several hundred billion. Then, anyone who wants to disembark can take the money and leave."

Mei hesitated, but a nearby officer asked tremblingly, "No, sir, that's not what we're asking, it's..."

Everyone looked at the "cloak" behind Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu patted Had and said, "This is a non-human, not human, so it's okay. They don't feel pain or suffer. All their expressions and struggles are just anthropomorphic gestures imitating humans. However, this non-human is somewhat useful. I happen to be short of a piece of protective gear, so let's deal with it like this for now."

The people around dared not say a word, and they were all trembling with fear.

Wu Pifu wasn't surprised; after all, non-human beings were indeed frightening. He patted Had, whose mouth was bound by ropes, behind him, and then said to the others, "Alright, now that we have new equipment, some generals alone aren't enough. Target..."

Wu Pifu pointed to the Thunder Ocean, which seemed closer in the distance, and said, "Let's go kill a few Ascended Beings!"

"I'm determined to see the truth about this world that I so instinctively loathe!"
