110: Chapter 110 Light and Darkness in One Body, Night FormLuffy gazed regretfully in the direction Orsfeld had disappeared, sighing inwardly.It seemed the quest to obtain the Dark Orb was unlikely to succeed.He couldn't help but worry whether the rewards would be significantly reduced as a result.Just as the group was preparing to turn and leave to find a safe place to rest, a sudden change occurred!
The dark elements that had been permeating the air seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, rapidly gathering and gradually condensing into a dark bead emitting a dim light.Seeing this, Luffy's eyes flashed with surprise.Without hesitation, he raised his hand and gently beckoned to the dark bead.As if possessing sentience, the dark bead flew directly towards Luffy and landed steadily in his hand.
"The system has detected that the host has completed the mission, and the reward has been issued.The Dark Pearl has been automatically absorbed for the host.Congratulations on successfully unlocking the Dark Element!At the same time, given that the host already possesses the Light Element, a special skill is awarded to the host: Light and Darkness in Harmony!(The two opposing elements of light and dark have now achieved a peculiar balance.Further development requires the host's own efforts.)" The system's voice rang in Luffy's ears.As soon as the voice finished speaking, the Dark Pearl in his hand instantly merged into Luffy's palm.
"Luffy!" Uta exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful face instantly filled with astonishment.Chopper also displayed his amazing abilities without hesitation, transforming into his Light Angel form in the blink of an eye, ready to unleash his purification power before Luffy was completely swallowed by darkness.
However, this change did not end there.Upon sensing the appearance of the dark element, the light element immediately stirred like a disturbed swarm of bees, attempting a fierce attack on the uninvited guest.But at that moment, a mysterious and powerful force suddenly descended, like an invisible hand, skillfully manipulating the two together.In an instant, Luffy's body underwent an astonishing transformation—one half of his body shone with a bright light, as if the sun had descended upon the world; while the other half was shrouded in deep darkness, like an endless void.This scene of light and darkness intertwined looked exceptionally strange and eerie.
"What the hell?This is what you mean by light and darkness in one body?Good grief, half light and half darkness, are you playing Tai Chi here?" Luffy looked at the bizarre state of his body and was speechless with exasperation.He had thought that the fusion of light and dark elements would create a super cool form, but he was greatly disappointed.However, Luffy was an optimistic and open-minded person after all.With a thought, he tried to control the light element within his body.The dazzling light gradually subsided and slowly retreated into the depths of his body along his meridians.At this moment, the dark element, no longer restrained by the light element, surged out like a tidal wave and quickly enveloped Luffy's entire body.
Luffy's hair suddenly changed, its original black color becoming even deeper, even carrying a hint of eerie purple light.His eyes also became sharp and cold, and his entire being exuded a chillingly sinister aura.Everyone present felt this powerful pressure and immediately prepared for battle.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense, as if a taut string would snap at any moment.Luffy stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his face expressionless.Just when everyone was at their most tense, the corners of Luffy's mouth turned up slightly, revealing that familiar smile.
As his smile blossomed, the surrounding dark elements receded rapidly like a tide.A huge weight was lifted from everyone's hearts; they breathed a long sigh of relief, having just thought Luffy had been corrupted by dark forces.However, Luffy seemed oblivious to their reaction, still smiling as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Luffy unharmed, Uta, Vivi, and Nami's faces instantly darkened, as if they were about to burst into tears.They stormed up to Luffy, each brimming with uncontrollable rage, and without hesitation, swung their fists, slamming them hard into Luffy's body.
Luffy chuckled, calming the three girls down, his heart pounding with excitement.Just moments ago, he had successfully entered a completely new form—the Dark Night Form.In this form, while he couldn't use other elemental powers, his strength was still formidable.And, most importantly, in this form, even if he was injured, he wouldn't feel any pain.
However, this comes at a price.Once Luffy reverts to his Dark Form, all the pain he has endured will return with double the force.Luffy doesn't seem to care much about this.After all, he is a man with unparalleled willpower; mere fatal wounds are nothing more than a drop in the ocean, insignificant to him.
"Mr.Luffy, we are so grateful for your help.We will never forget your kindness," Lierst said earnestly, standing on the ruins of the palace.Luffy, however, didn't mind.He was content to treat them to a proper feast.After all, they had already used their ancestral treasures for themselves, and he would feel embarrassed to ask for anything more.
A grand banquet, unlike any other, was being held in the open space in front of the royal palace.Countless people surged forward like a tide, eager to witness the hero who had saved the entire nation.Before Orthophile was broken from his seal, the dark aura that clung to the capital had already claimed countless innocent lives.The people of the capital lived in constant fear, terrified that they would be the next to fall victim to the darkness.Now, thanks to Luffy and his crew working together, Orthophile had been successfully eliminated, and the dark aura that permeated the capital had dissipated.Almost all of them were gone.The people, filled with gratitude, came one after another to express their thanks to these saviors.
Amidst the constant praise of being called a "hero," Luffy gradually lost himself, becoming increasingly arrogant.With each drink he downed, the alcohol took effect, and Luffy slowly forgot the vows he had made.At this point, he seemed to have lost his mind, even joining Usopp and Chopper in performing that bizarre and comical nostril dance in front of everyone.
Upon witnessing this scene, the three female characters were so embarrassed they covered their faces, unable to bear watching.However, they didn't forget to capture this rare moment on their phones as a memento.Robin, meanwhile, covered her mouth and smiled, secretly contemplating whether to take advantage of Luffy's drunken state and seize the opportunity.After all, such chances were rare!
Meanwhile, Zoro was dragging Ors and Eneva into a drinking contest.The two old men were terrified by Zoro's drinking capacity and were simply no match for his fierce onslaught.Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Kuina appeared and rescued them; otherwise, the two old men would probably have been completely drunk.
Looking at Sanji and Brook, the two were completely immersed in the world of beauties and couldn't extricate themselves.Brook, in particular, was shouting that he wanted the beauties to let him see their panties.If Franky hadn't stopped them in time, these two might have really pounced on those beauties!
