Chapter 99 Binding props

"I was actually planning to go mining..." Su Wu sighed as she looked at the devastated mine in the distance.

An unprecedented mining experience was abruptly ended before it even began.

"Now that's settled, where are we supposed to find liquid ore...?" He landed back on the ground, threw the tiger cub down, and said with a hint of distress.

Bisky and Kuroro both heard him talking to himself.

Bisky stared at Su Wu with a look of surprise, but pointed at Kuroro and said, "You came here to find liquid ore? Isn't that what Kuroro is wearing on his ear?"

Su Wu blinked, her gaze silently falling on the two blue pendants on Kuroro's ears.

The tiger cub at his feet also looked up, its eyes fixed intently on Kuroro.

Maro also kept a close eye on Kuroro, while Bisky, equally eager for a good show, looked at Kuroro with sparkling eyes.

Kuroro, who was being watched by four pairs of eyes, looked somewhat helpless, and did not put down the book in his hand.

"So this is liquid ore. It doesn't look as good as I heard..." Su Wu mentally compared the earring with the six-eyed man's appearance and finally came to a conclusion.

"The most beautiful blue thing in the world must be my eyes," he said confidently.

"While you certainly have the right to say that, it's not a good thing," Bisky cautioned.

Those who are associated with world-class beauty rarely end well.

"What do you all want to do now? Even if I say this isn't liquid ore, you won't believe me, will you?" Kuroro looked wronged and helpless.

He didn't really want to fight these people. The blond young man was alright, but the two teenagers seemed to pose a greater threat to him.

But if we absolutely have to fight...

The pages of the book in his hands turned silently, stopping at one of them.

"Don't underestimate my eye as a gem hunter! I would never mistake a gem!" Bisky's tone revealed confidence in her identity as a gem hunter.

"Ah, I don't really want to fight with you..." Su Wu stroked her chin, seemingly conflicted.

After all, when he was in Meteor City, much of what he ate, drank, and wore was provided by the Phantom Troupe.

Before Kuroro could speak, he noticed that the boy who had said he didn't want to fight him had already disappeared from the spot.

The airflow behind them changed in an instant.

The black-haired man quickly turned around and saw the vanished boy's figure appear behind him.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for the supplies you sent back then." The boy said this, but his hand reached towards Kuroro's ear.

supplies?

They will only send supplies to one place.

That is... Meteor City, my hometown.

Is this boy also from Meteor City?

Despite this internal speculation, Kuroro didn't stop activating his ability.

The shadow beneath him suddenly moved, blocking his way.

However, Kuroro himself had already taken the opportunity to leave the spot.

The skill described on one page of The Thief's Ultimate is called Shadow Under the Light.

It can only be used in a well-lit environment. It can take the hits for the user and attack the enemy. In contrast, when the shadow is attacked, the user will also experience the corresponding pain.

Of course, once the light is gone, the shadow will disappear.

When the original owner used this ability, it caused quite a bit of trouble for many people.

Kuroro, relying on his harmless appearance, became friends with the other party, gained their trust, and then... stole their abilities.

"Shadow? I've thought about having that ability before..." Su Wu looked at the dark figure in front of her.

For example, the Shadow Legion in a certain animated film—regardless of their strength, they are certainly very cool.

The shadow remained attached to Kuroro's feet, and its distance would change whenever he left.

This ability has limitations.

The long, stretched shadow touched the shadow at Su Wu's feet.

In an instant, Su Wu's legs inexplicably stiffened, seemingly out of control, and she could only let her shadow be eroded by the other's shadow.

A control system? Can shadows control people?

As he was thinking this, his body suddenly appeared in the sky.

For him, using Azure to teleport himself directly into the air doesn't require moving his legs, and strong Enhancement-type Devil Fruit users should also be able to forcibly get rid of this ability.

Of course, this refers to the situation where only a part of the body is controlled.

If the shadow is completely controlled, will one still be able to use their own abilities?

He was somewhat curious, but had no intention of trying it himself.

Kuroro did not close the book, but the shadow returned to his side and returned to its normal form.

His offensive capabilities are still a bit too limited, but finding suitable targets is not an easy task either.

Not to mention that the condition for him to use his ability is that he must witness the other person using it and obtain relevant information about the ability from the other person.

In short, in order to gain the ability, he usually spends some time becoming friends with the target.

Progress is obviously slow, and occasionally the target will discover that you have ulterior motives.

What is the ability of this white-haired boy in front of me?

An ice blade suddenly struck the back of his head. He tilted his head to avoid it, and the shadow beneath him moved swiftly once more.

In a very short time, it encroached on the shadow beneath the blond youth's feet.

The blond youth's face contorted in pain, but his body was out of control, and he even changed his target.

The ice blade flew straight toward the boy in the air.

"Really..." The white-haired boy stretched out his hand, which was flashing with red light.

One hit of the 'Hero' would probably not kill Kuroro himself, but it's uncertain whether his earring would break.

I've heard that liquid minerals can be quite brittle when they turn into solids.

"Alright, I'll show you," Kuroro suddenly said.

An intuition, or perhaps a spider-like sense, kept reminding him not to take the unknown attack head-on.

But without knowing the conditions for activating the opponent's ability, let alone how to dodge it.

The opponent had no intention of killing; otherwise, they would have attacked with that move from the start.

He himself was not a combatant.

Furthermore, given that the other party is likely from Meteor City, Kuroro is willing to have a chat with them, so let's stop here.

Kuroro closed the book in his hand, and the blond youth broke free from control and regained his freedom.

The white-haired boy stopped what he was doing, and the red light dissipated.

"You should have said so earlier. I just wanted to borrow it to take a look." Su Wu walked up to Kuroro with a straight face and reached out her hand to him.

Kuroro had no choice but to take off one of his earrings and hand it to the other person.

He was indeed wearing liquid mineral, but as for where it came from...

Do we even need to think about where the thief's treasure came from?

Liquid mineral jewelry has been found (not raw ore, will not be accepted).

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained Kuroro's earring (bound, cannot be unbound, can be copied).]

[Do you want to duplicate this item and list it for sale in the store?]

The host will receive one percent of the item's selling price.

The system suddenly popped up three unexpected notifications.

Kuroro's earrings can actually be replicated and sold in shopping malls?

And this is actually considered Kuroro's bound item?

"One percent? You're really squeezing me out of this!" Su Wu thought to herself, complaining about the unscrupulous business system.

The energy required for copying and the energy required for trading are both supplied by the system. Analysis shows that one percent is extremely reasonable.

Yes, it makes sense to unscrupulous merchants, since you're the one making the biggest profit anyway.

Ha ha.

However, something is better than nothing, since it's an unexpected profit.

"Copy it," Su Wu replied to the system in her mind.

[Successfully copied and uploaded to the system store.]

"Here you go." Su Wu tossed the earring back to Kuroro.
