Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Chapter 21 Armed Color

Unnamed island.

Ever since the last time Jellal defeated the giant lion hyena, he has been strengthening his body every day.

The method is to let the beasts on the island attack him, and he only uses his physical strength to resist. He does not fight back against the beasts, but only performs simple blocking.

These beasts also knew that their king was once defeated by Jellal, so they could only do as Jellal said.

At one point they thought there was something wrong with Jellal's brain as he allowed them to attack without resisting.

So during these days, the beasts also indulged in the thrill of besieging the new "King of Beasts".

Gerard naturally knew what these beasts were thinking. Although they were wild beasts, the beasts in this world were different from those on Earth.

They all have a certain degree of intelligence, and their expressions and movements are very lifelike.

After being beaten by the ferocious beasts these days, Gerard's physique has increased dramatically and become extremely strong.

"when!!"

As Jellal's fist collided with a lion's raised paw.

Jellal was extremely excited, he finally used the Armament Haki!

The lion's painful howl resounded throughout the forest. Its front paws were hit and bulged with a big bump because Jellal suddenly realized the Armament Haki!

The last whimper was laid in front of Jellal, and it thought that Jellal would no longer provide benefits and retaliate.

Naturally, the other beasts did the same as the lion, falling to the ground and looking at Gerard in horror.

After all, during this period of time, they beat their "Beast King" mercilessly!

"Hahahaha!"

Jellal laughed wildly, inadvertently releasing a hint of domineering aura.

Looking at my fist, feeling and savoring the power just now, after being beaten for so long, I finally awakened!

The beasts nearby looked at Gerard in horror, and finally buried their heads even lower.

"Okay, you can go now! You're still a beast, you're so timid."

Gerard naturally sensed the fear of these beasts and let them go.

The beasts looked puzzled and did not dare to move, fearing that Gerard was deceiving them.

"Hurry up and go, or I'll roast and eat you!" After saying that, Gerard's stomach began to growl.

The beasts were frightened by the noise and whimpered a few times before running away from Gerard.

After all, they have seen this skinny human eat a small sea king in one meal!

Gerard smiled as he watched the beasts fleeing quickly, shook his head, turned around, picked up the Snow Drinking Knife and walked towards the beach, killing a giant deer on the way.

After dragging the giant deer back to the camp on the coast, Gerard immediately started a bonfire, quickly prepared the venison, and roasted it over the fire.

Sitting next to the campfire, Jellal raised his left hand and closed his eyes, recalling the feeling of using the Armament Haki just now.

"Qiang!"

The moment he opened his eyes, his fist was instantly covered with Armament Haki.

Jellal was very satisfied with this, and the next step was to increase the amount of domineering.

Whether one's own domineering power is sufficient determines the length of the subsequent battle.

For this ocean, whether or not one possesses hegemony is the most obvious dividing line between the strong and the weak.

Armament Haki can greatly increase the user's defense and destructive power.

It also gives the user of Haki the only means to counter natural Devil Fruits and all special Devil Fruit abilities, besides Seastone.

If you want to become the strongest among the strong, you need to improve the content and hardness of your domineering aura, which also determines whether you can gain the upper hand in the battle.

Gerard pondered that his body now happened to have acquired an evolved physique due to Golden Lion's human experiments.

Jellal could also clearly feel his body rapidly strengthening, which gave him the confidence to use two devil fruits to fight.

The activation and use of all Devil Fruit abilities consumes the physical strength of the Devil Fruit user.

This is also the iron law of this ocean.

Now that Jellal has an evolved physique, he won't have to worry about physical strength issues when using the abilities of two top-level devil fruits in the future.

The venison sizzled under the flames, and the aroma woke up Gerard from his deep thoughts.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's fill our stomach first."

When Gerard smelled the aroma of venison, his stomach started to growl again. He stood up, pulled off a deer leg, and immediately started to devour it.

At the edge of the forest, several giant beasts that had just fought with Jellal were lying quietly on the ground, looking at Jellal curiously, as if waiting for something.

Gerard naturally discovered them as well. In the past, he had asked these giant beasts to practice with him until late at night every day.

At this time, the giant lion came out and walked towards Gerard nervously.

This made Gerard a little confused, because he had never seen these beasts dare to come to him in the past few days.

It whimpered a few times, then raised its paw and gestured toward the forest.

"You mean for me to go with you?" Gerard guessed uncertainly.

The giant lion nodded quickly.

Gerard didn't know what this guy was planning or what he had discovered.

"I'll go with you after I'm full." After saying that, Gerard ignored the giant lion and started gnawing on his deer leg again.

The giant lion did not leave, but waited quietly beside Gerard.

But as it watched Gerard eat the delicious venison with relish, its saliva kept flowing out of its mouth.

After Gerard finished eating four deer legs, he threw the rest directly to the giant lion.

The giant lion opened its mouth excitedly, took a bite of the venison thrown by Gerard, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The giant beasts at the edge of the forest were so envious that they wanted to rush over to grab it.

The truth is that the smell of Gerard's barbecue always drifts into the forest recently, but they can't eat it and can only smell the aroma while chewing their prey.

"Let's go and see what you found." Gerald stood up, took the Snow Drinking Sword, and walked into the forest.

The giant lion quickly followed and led the way for Gerald.

The other beasts saw Jellal move and started to get excited again, thinking that the training was about to begin again.

When they got into position, they saw Gerard walking between them with an expressionless face.

This left them dumbfounded. Why didn't they continue training?

The giant lion growled, then quickly caught up with Gerard.

The beasts then realized that Jellal was not going to continue training, but was following their second brother to look for something.

And their eldest brother is naturally Gerard, well, that's what they think on their own.

The giant lion caught up with Gerard and then jumped over him to lead the way, and soon they arrived in front of a towering mountain.

The giant lion whimpered at Gerard a few more times, indicating that the thing was on the mountain, then jumped up and ran up the mountain quickly.

Gerard also followed quickly, and finally they stopped under a towering tree.

"Roar!"

The giant lion growled and raised its paw to point at the tree.

Gerard followed the direction the giant lion pointed and finally saw what it was.

It's actually a devil fruit!
