"It appears, the Animal-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Lion Form."
"Is this the power of the Devil Fruit?"
"The Animal-type can increase various defenses, attacks, and recovery abilities. The situation is still uncertain."
"This so-called Golden Emperor might also be a Devil Fruit user, most likely a Paramecia Type."
With Gappa's transformation, it immediately caused quite a commotion. You should know that the Devil Fruit, the secret treasure of the sea, is in high demand. Even the worst one can be auctioned for more than 100 million Berries.
Not everyone can afford it. It was a very luxurious fruit. Some people may never know what the Sea Secret Devil Fruit is in their entire life.
But what is certain is that as long as you eat a Devil Fruit, you will immediately have power beyond that of ordinary people. This is an important shortcut to gaining power and changing your destiny.
"Boy, I'm going to tear you apart!"
In the field, Gappa looked down at Kaos. His ferocious and cruel face was like a shadow that blocked out the sunlight. Kaos felt a little oppressed.
His guess was correct. Only this kind of strong man could help him make progress. The fangs and beard before could not motivate him at all.
"Either you kill me, or I kill you."
Kaos's hair stood upright and fluttered. His hands were held vertically, showing his coldness and arrogance. He was very arrogant.
"I'll help you."
The ferocious roar broke the eardrums, and Gappa's right claw, which was thicker than his thigh, rushed like lightning, pointing directly at Kaos's throat, obviously intending to kill him with one blow.
Kaos, who had already tensed up and prepared himself, clenched his right fist and attacked head-on without dodging.
There was a huge collision, and cracks appeared on the ground beneath the two men's feet. Kaos couldn't help but take two steps back, and he could feel the pain in his fist.
There was a sneer in Gappa's ferocious mouth, and his strong and sturdy legs didn't move at all.
Whoosh~
There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and Gappa rushed forward with his right foot sweeping through the enemy. Kaos leaned back, but Gappa was faster.
He turned around, and his five-fingered claws were like sharp sickles, grabbing at Kaos's chest in one move. Kaos moved very quickly, leaning back and spinning 360 degrees in the air to avoid the attack.
Then he supported himself on the ground with his left hand and brought his feet together, rushing towards Gappa's chest like a cannonball. The dull collision was even more massive than the last time.
Gappa's strong elbows blocked his chest, and his feet sank deep into the ground and moved sideways, leaving two traces.
Kaos turned over and stood up. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of five meters and appeared in front of Gappa. He threw a left hook with a sound of breaking through the air.
There was a cold look in Gappa's eyes. Kaos's speed was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect it to be so fast! But Gappa was not made of clay.
After all, his bounty was 53 million, and with the blessing of the Animal-type system, his reaction ability was definitely very fast.
Gappa dodged at the first moment and launched a sweeping kick. Although Kaos jumped up to avoid it, Gappa was prepared.
He clenched his fist and hit Kaos's crossed hands in defense. With a gust of wind and waves, Kaos couldn't stop retreating and fell into a disadvantage.
"Huh~"
Kaos let out a sigh. He learned a lot from just these two or three moves. The opponent's fighting ability and reaction ability were better than his; he was simply a perfect whetstone.
This made Kaos's fighting spirit more excited than ever before. He will definitely grow after this battle. Using the shaving technique, Kaos disappeared on the spot.
He took the lead in attacking and planned to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Gappa!
"Come on, Captain. I'm putting all my money on the line."
"Kill that idiot who dares to provoke our Lion King Pirates."
Many pirates on the periphery were making a fuss. Now the Lion King Gappa was clearly in the upper hand, suppressing the Golden Emperor one after another.
The latter could only passively defend and was losing ground. Many pirates thought that Gappa was sure to win.
"Interesting newcomer."
However, there were also pirates with vicious eyes, such as a middle-aged man in casual clothes, a round rubber hat, and two sickle weapons hanging around his waist in a house not far away. Looking at the almost one-sided battle in the arena, he showed a hint of surprise.
"Reaper Mortis, you noticed that too?"
There were also many pirates standing on several other houses. One of them was a fat man wearing a black suit and smoking a cigar.
He puffed out smoke and tilted his head to look at Mortis. This guy had a bounty of 93 million, was a user of the Paramecia Type, Scythe Fruit, and was a lone ranger! Spike didn't expect to meet him here.
"Bloodthorn Spike, bounty of 89 million."
Mortis looked back at the fat man and recognized his identity at a glance. This fat guy was a ruthless person. He was a user of the Paramecia Type, Thorn Fruit.
I heard that he killed a naval colonel some time ago. He was being hunted by Major General Sakaski, one of the three natural monsters of the navy. I didn't expect him to appear in Mock Town.
"How about a bet on who will survive?"
Spike flicked the ash from his cigar and leisurely pointed at the battle between Kaos and Gappa on the field.
"You figured it out, didn't you? I'm sure Stripe Killer Barns and Camel Dune figured it out too."
Reaper Mortis crossed his arms and looked at the other two people on the roof. One was a man wearing a black and white striped jacket, and the other was a man wearing wellies.
Stripe Killer Barns, bounty of 81 million, Animal-type, Ma-Ma Fruit, Zebra Form!
Camel Dune, bounty of 79 million, Animal-type, Ma-Ma Fruit, Camel Form!
I didn't expect that just an ordinary battle would lead to the appearance of these four powerful men.
"That kid is actually practicing on the Lion King Gappa, very interesting."
The camel Dune sat on the roof with his legs crossed and pointed out the battle between Kaos and Gappa with a grim expression.
"Too weak."
Stripe Killer Barns had an arrogant look on his face and contempt in his eyes. In his opinion, both the Lion King Gappa and Kaos were too weak.
"Haha! They say the Stripe Killer is arrogant, and it's true!"
Mortis, the Reaper with the highest bounty among the four, looked at the Stripe Killer with amusement and said, "You will not be able to defeat that guy called Golden Emperor in the end."
"Hmph, I don't mind killing you right now. I'm sure the Navy would be happy to receive the 93 million bounty on the Reaper's head!"
This was the world of pirates. The smell of gunpowder was already in the air without any warning.
"I'm not teasing you. After this battle, you can give it a try. If you can kill the Golden Emperor, I'll give you 50 million Berries."
Mortis shrugged calmly. He was not angered by the Stripe Killer's words.
"I like this bet. Do you mind if I bet on Stripe Killer to win? It's still 50 million."
Bloodthorn Spike interjected, blowing smoke rings.
"Stripe Killer, 30 million!"
Even the camel Dune spoke, his face grim and his words precious.
"Fifty million, I gladly accept it!"
The Stripe Killer glanced at Mortis, then looked at the battle on the scene with a fierce look on his face.
This was the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. Kaos didn't know that he was being targeted. After just a few words,
he had never even heard of the Stripe Killer and others. There was no grudge between the two parties, but the four of them decided Kaos's future as if they were watching a play.
