Chapter 231: Encounter with Darren and Hina (Part 2)
The female sailors aboard the warship clearly understood that Hina, being a girl, might be too shy to admit that she had been deceived by a man, so they cheered her on from the sidelines, "Major Hina, we will help you capture Darren Eric !"
" Hina will definitely capture him herself. Hah~" After a year of separation, Hina finally calmed her intense emotions after seeing Eric again. The red glow in her eyes flickered, and her Observation Haki was activated.
Gently setting Kurumi down, Eric was surprised, "You've already learned Observation Haki?"
"Once you're in the cell, Hina will have a more detailed talk with you!"
"Oh~" The female sailors outside dragged out the tune.
Rear Admiral Tsuru , seeing Hina facing the two of them, was about to step forward to assist.
"Chik!"
A long red spear was suddenly stabbed into the deck, blocking Rear Admiral Tsuru 's way.
"'Magic Spear' Scáthach ..." Rear Admiral Tsuru lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a smile , "There are few strong women on the sea, would you like to join the Navy? My ship is all women, no men."
"No need to waste your breath," Scáthach pulled out her spear, her face cold as she replied, "I won't leave Eric ."
"Shameless woman!"
"Enemy of women!"
"Scum!"
"Oh, you're a bit loud~" Kurumi raised her right hand, using her barrier ability, "Time-Devouring City !"
"What...?"
"I'm out of strength..."
Most of the female sailors collapsed to the deck, losing their strength as they were wrapped in the black-red barrier.
"So this is the black domain of Kurumi Tokisaki, as reported..." Rear Admiral Tsuru saw everything clearly, 'Ordinary sailors are powerless in front of her abilities.'
Swish, swish—
Scáthach twirled her spear and said, "No need for intelligence gathering anymore. Your opponent is me—let's go!"
The purple armor-clad high heels slammed on the ground, and Scáthach transformed into a streak of red lightning charging toward Rear Admiral Tsuru .
Even though she was nearly seventy years old, Rear Admiral Tsuru 's movements were still agile. Her haki was powerful, and she expertly used the Six Powers of the Navy. She immediately engaged with Scáthach .
Hina raised her arms, and two black iron shackles shot out from her hands. The sharp spear tips were more like massive iron spears than mere rods.
"Have you learned to wrap your Armament Haki? Quite the improvement," Eric 's words were more teasing than praise, which only made Hina's blood pressure rise.
"Watch as I shatter these two iron spears..." Electric charges surged through Eric 's hands, and the sound of crackling electricity filled the air.
[ Ding... You have two new mails ]
[ Temporary Task 1: Navy-Pirate CP Combo 2 ]
"…"
"Boom! Boom!"
Kurumi shot the two iron spears aimed at Eric away with bullets, confused, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not moving?"
Looking at the beautiful Akame that were locked on him, Eric could only reply, "Nothing."
'Flirting with enemy female sailors in front of my wife? Is this system a reincarnation of the neighbor, Mr. Wang?'
[ Pre-requisite: In order to kill you (blackout) and bring you to justice, Hina trained hard under Navy Hero Garp for a year. ]
'...' Eric asked himself, besides making Hina lose control, what else had he done that made her loathe him so much?
[ Content: Love breeds hatred, hatred can turn into love. Make this girl clearly realize the gap between her and the Sea Emperor! Note: Use any method to make her drenched (wipe marks), and only think of you. ]
'...'
[ Task Reward: "PUA Master" title (When wearing this title, your affinity with the opposite sex increases faster, commonly known as a human self-moving cannon. Note: Even non-human beings, like sea beasts, will fall in love with you) / Achievement point 1 / Bond point 3 ]
[ Temporary Task 2: Rescue "Magician" Hawkins ]
[ Pre-requisite: Due to the unpredictable factor of Eric , Hawkins, one of the "Supernovas" eight years later, was unexpectedly captured by Rear Admiral Tsuru in the North Sea ]
[ Content: Rescue Hawkins and his crew from Rear Admiral Tsuru . ]
[ Result 1: Only Hawkins is rescued. Task reward: Hawkins joins the Dawn Pirates / Bond point 2 ]
[ Result 2: Rescue all Hawkins Pirates. Task reward: Hawkins Pirates become part of the Dawn Pirates (Note: They will not betray) / Bond point 3 ]
'Looks like there are not only weird title rewards but also somewhat useful subordinate rewards.' Eric glanced at Hawkins, who had turned into clothes.
After carefully reading the two temporary tasks, Eric pondered deeply:
'But how do I make Hina drenched, and make her realize the gap between her strength and mine?'
"Don't look down on me!" Hina glared at Eric , " Hina is no longer the same Hina!"
Eric carefully sized up Hina's figure, 'Hmm, a size bigger?'
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Massive black iron spears were continuously shot out by Hina.
"Why are these so thick this time?! I can't take it!" Eric made a fearful face, then quickly changed his expression to a mischievous smile, "Just kidding~"
"60,000 volts, Thunder Dragon!" A massive blue dragon over ten meters long twisted through the air, opening its mouth to shatter and melt the iron spears in midair.
Clang, clang, clang—
The iron spears, now without energy, fell to the deck, with melted marks where they had broken.
"Take this!" Just as everyone focused on the battlefield, a female sailor snuck up behind and slashed at Eric with a sword.
"Have you never heard of Observation Haki?" Eric sneered, "Even if you haven't heard of it, you shouldn't be yelling and sneak attacking from behind."
"Vroom~" Conqueror's Haki activated, knocking the female sailor unconscious.
"..." Rear Admiral Tsuru , fighting with Scáthach , felt the Haki and thought, 'Trouble…'
" Hina, feel the difference between us," Eric 's sharp brows and long, sharp Kurome made it clear that he was serious now.
Hina clenched her fists, tensing every muscle in her body, preparing for defense.
Eric 's body turned into a streak of blue lightning, soaring into the sky.
Unmatched speed left a blue line across everyone's vision.
Soon, Eric , now a streak of lightning, vanished into the thick clouds.
A thunderous boom echoed through the heavens!
The sky darkened—
The fully awakened Thunder ability sent a violent storm.
Endless dark clouds covered the sky, and electric serpents weaved through them, while the lightning-filled storm churned and roiled.
Bzzzzt, boom—!
The sharp sound of electricity and the thunderous crashes echoed across the sea.
Rear Admiral Tsuru and Scáthach stopped and retreated, watching the scene. Rear Admiral Tsuru thought to herself, 'With this kind of force, his ability must be about to fully awaken... when he fought Akainu, he needed external help to create thunderclouds, but now he can do it by himself...'
Scáthach looked at the sky, her fighting spirit rising, 'I'll fight him at full strength next time.'
Is the Lava-Lava Fruit the strongest? The Quake-Quake Fruit can destroy the world?
Thunder is my number one!
Seeing the heavenly phenomenon he created, Eric 's heart swelled with pride, 'No wonder Enel calls himself a god, this is something only a god can do!'
"Let me show you what a natural disaster is!"
"Thousand Thunder!"
The rolling lightning was controlled, and thousands of massive lightning bolts, each several meters wide, dropped from the dark clouds.
The blue light was so intense that it was almost blinding—
The sea surrounding the warship turned into an ocean of lightning!
