Above the Pirate King

Chapter 968 Power and Skill
Tower of Trials!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of fierce collisions, two invisible figures fought fiercely in a desert under the scorching sun.

The aftermath of the battle swept out wave after wave from the intersection point of the two figures with the sound of collision, causing yellow sand all over the sky!
"boom!"

Suddenly, one of the two figures seemed to have seized the opportunity, and blasted the other figure into the desert from the air, causing a huge pit with a depth of [-] meters to appear in the already messy desert. !
And at this time, a clear and pleasant voice sounded at the right time, "Congratulations, master, for clearing the level!"

"Whoosh hooh~"

The already tired and temperless Arthur panted violently, wiped off the sweat on his forehead that could almost fill a cup, and responded weakly, "Stop congratulating, send me out!"

"Good master!" The clear and pleasant voice sounded again!

quickly!

Arthur's consciousness returned to his body.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

After panting twice subconsciously, he found that his state had returned to the best Arthur, and his breathing calmed down!

"The eighth floor of the general level is finally cleared!" Arthur sighed, with a smile on his face.

When he obtained the sun lion form, Arthur still overestimated his own strength!

He originally thought that with the blessing of the sun lion form, he could get through the eighth or ninth floor of the tower of trials, but in fact it was a bit difficult to beat the eighth floor!

However, he is still satisfied with his own strength!
He doesn't know whether the strength of the eighth-floor general of the Tower of Trials can make him invincible in this world, but at least he can be sure that those who have names and surnames in the world and who have collected information can't beat him!

Of course, this refers to a one-on-one fight, if it's a group fight, forget it!

"Now my strength has reached a bottleneck again! There is basically no room for upgrading in terms of physical skills, and the potential of my body has been completely released! In other words, the next thing to develop is the fruit ability!" Ya Se whispered, and began to think in his heart!

Among his fruit abilities, the thunder fruit is at the third stage, and the mumu fruit is at the peak of the second stage, and there is only a slight chance of reaching the third stage!
And it stands to reason that what he will develop next should be Mumu Fruit, because Mumu Fruit is the closest to the third stage!

However, after Arthur thought about it, he gave up on this idea!

no way!
I don't have any thoughts!
If it's about the thunder fruit, it's better to say that, as a person who traveled from a place where the world is full of electricity, he knows some knowledge about thunder and lightning, so it is relatively simple to develop.

But the knowledge about wood. As long as you don't study agriculture, who will know this if you study forestry?
"Wait, that's not right! You don't have to develop fruits to increase your strength! It's also possible to develop fruit moves!" Arthur slapped his head, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have entered a misunderstanding!
It is not necessary to develop fruits to improve strength, the same is true for developing moves!

It's like a boxer!
Improving the quality of the body can certainly improve the strength of a boxer, but boxing skills can also improve the strength of a boxer!
The two are just in different directions, but the result is the same, both can improve the boxer's strength!

To put it bluntly, one is strength and the other is skill!

"It's just... how about developing some new moves?" Arthur murmured hesitantly.

So far, the moves that he has memorized in his mind, whether they are from anime, comics, TV or movies, he has basically developed all the moves that can be developed!

What can't be developed, basically can't be developed!
So, if he wants to develop new moves, he must think of it himself this time!

"Let's go back first. I think the new move will definitely not be done in a day or two. Let's go back and talk about it first!" Arthur still had no idea after thinking for a long time, so he asked Celia to send him out of the trial tower!

New moves are not meant to be developed as soon as they are wanted, nor is it meant to develop new moves if they randomly acquire some devil fruit abilities with different shapes.

Instead, after careful consideration and multiple tests to prove its practical value, it can be regarded as the real development of a new move!

And all of this will undoubtedly take a long time, so Arthur decided to leave the Tower of Trials first, and think about it later! ——
study!

"See Your Majesty!"

After returning to the study, German, the head of the intelligence department, received the news and came to the study.

"What's the matter?" Arthur looked at him curiously.

"The thing is like this." Devon briefly said something about Edra!
"Pfft~ Hahaha!"

After listening, Arthur couldn't help laughing, and said, "I didn't expect this assassin to be so unlucky! The last time I went to investigate the terrain, I was arrested by the security team before I detected it!"

"It's even worse this time! You actually cheated yourself, and even sent the three killers of the World Government to hell, what a fucking talent!"

As he spoke, Arthur changed his voice and said with a smile, "Okay, I get it, that's it! Do as you want!"

"In addition, I still have something to report!" Devin said, and began to talk about the current situation of Luffy and his party!
After taking down the Dragon Pirates and successfully recruiting a new crew member, Nami, Luffy and his party rushed from Cocosia Village to Rogue Town!
Well, in fact, it is much slower than the original!

The original book arrived in just a few days, but now it has been at least ten days!
The reason for this is mainly because of the hat on Luffy's head!
Collectors of good things, after knowing that the hat is Roger's straw hat, the bounty for the hat has been rising all the way, from the original several million to the price of 3000 million!

3000 million!

This is not a small amount. For ordinary people, they may not be able to earn so much money in a lifetime, so it is no surprise that Luffy and his party encountered obstacles!

Bounty hunters, pirates, gangsters, even farmers, fishermen, etc., as long as they are people along the way, as long as they meet them, almost no one will not reach out, try to stop them or steal that hat!
In this regard, Luffy and his party are also very helpless!

The bounty offered by straw hats is different from that offered by pirates. It can’t deter people at all. In addition, Luffy is a kind person. For ordinary people like farmers and fishermen who try to steal or grab straw hats, because of Lu Fei Fei couldn't bear to be cruel, so he let them go!
And because of his actions, more people became pregnant with different thoughts!
You can't die anyway, why not grab or steal it?
If you fail, there is no punishment, and if you succeed, you will have no worries for the rest of your life!

With this in mind, more and more people came to rob Luffy and his party!

Because of this, the speed of Luffy and his party sailing along the way became slower and slower!
In addition, they also have a big problem now. They dare not stop the ship for supplies!

Because the ass is followed by a ship that wants to snatch Luffy's hat!
Among them, some ship owners saw the opportunity and began to use this to make money. After collecting a certain amount of shipping fees, they drove the boat, pulled a boat full of people, and followed Luffy and his party!

"Okay! I can only say that it really is Luffy!" After listening to Devin's report, Arthur saw the photo taken by the intelligence personnel on the spot about Luffy and his party followed by the smoke boat that Devin handed over. The scene showed a dumbfounding expression!

He never expected that after he changed the plot, Luffy would no longer have a bounty, but his hat would have a bounty.

And it's exactly the same as the reward he offered during this time in the original book!
Both are 3000 million!
"Okay, I got it, you go down first!" After being dumbfounded for a while, Arthur waved his hand and let Devon leave first!
And shortly after Devon left, Arthur fell into deep thought again!
"Okay, let's continue thinking about developing new moves."

As he spoke, Arthur started talking to himself, and said, "How to develop a new move? Why don't you try the ability to fuse two Devil Fruits!?"
