Meiman's Endless Skills

Chapter 17 Rubber Fruit
He mumbled something like 'sorry' indistinctly from one side of his mouth, obviously something happened.

Reminiscent of the plot in the comics, King Kong vaguely guessed.

The next day, throughout the day, Jesus was immersed in alcohol, using alcohol to anesthetize himself.

His companions saw everything in their eyes, but none of them stood up to persuade him. They were much quieter for a few days, and did not continue to eat, drink and laugh happily.

Even Luffy, who was less than six years old, was vaguely aware of the abnormality.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the red-haired pirates set off again as before, this time Jesus Bu did not follow.

Although after three days of getting drunk, his mood has recovered a little, but the whole person looks extremely decadent.

Even if Luffy stood up to comfort him, it didn't let him sweep away the sadness on his face.

In the evening, King Kong watched him go out with a bottle of wine in his hand. He thought he would come back again, but he didn't expect that when he saw him again, it was on the way to the beach for exercise the next day.

He was leaning against a big tree, staring blankly at the sea, the clothes on his body were already wet with dew, and there was an empty wine bottle beside him, obviously he didn't go back last night.

"Are you all right, Jesus?"

To be honest, King Kong was shocked when he saw him. If he didn't feel his breathing and heartbeat, he would have thought he was dead.

Jesus Bu didn't respond right away. He didn't recover until King Kong approached and shook his hand in front of him. King Kong asked again.

"I am fine."

His voice was already hoarse, and it was difficult for King Kong to connect him with his previous optimistic appearance.

King Kong temporarily gave up his plan to continue to exercise, sat down next to Jesus cloth, and wanted to say something, but for a while he really didn't know how to speak.

The vast majority of people are emotional animals, and King Kong can't be cold-blooded and ruthless if he asks himself.

Although at the beginning, he approached Jesus cloth and red hair with a purpose, just as he approached Luffy at the beginning, but after getting to know them, he gradually recognized them and regarded them as true friends.

So when he saw Jesus clothed like this, he couldn't help feeling unbearable.

"You said family love or freedom, which one is more important?"

At this time, Jesus Bu took the initiative to ask.

King Kong was more certain of his guess, he couldn't help but sighed, and after a moment of silence he replied: "Probably, a thousand people will have a thousand answers."

After a slight pause, King Kong said again, "Maybe people only know how to cherish something when they lose something. Before the age of 21, I yearned for the colorful world outside and looked forward to beautiful love, so I chased after it without hesitation. But when I first had all this, my parents suddenly left me forever. I regretted it and thought about using everything I had to exchange for the lives of my parents.”

King Kong didn't continue talking, the answer was self-evident.

There seemed to be a slight ripple in Jesus' dead-silent eyes: "Do you know how to cherish only when you lose it?"

After the two were silent for a while, Jesus asked another question: "Do you think a man who abandoned his family and children can really be forgiven?"

King Kong followed his gaze, and on the other side of the distant sea, he seemed to see a village as peaceful and tranquil as Windmill Village, where Jesus Bu's hometown lived, where his children and his wife lived.

Once, when the child was two years old, Jesus Bu left there in pursuit of freedom.

If there is no accident, during this time period, most of the wives have died of illness.

If you look at the surface of the story, Jesus Bu is a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, but in the comics, both his child Usopp and his wife Bancina have chosen to forgive him, even thinking that he can be brave Proud to pursue freedom.

So, what can others say?
It can only be said, 'No one can evaluate other people's lives and choices at will. '

King Kong thought for a while, and then slowly said: "If it were me, I probably wouldn't forgive you. But everyone has their own choice. I have heard such a poem 'Life is precious, love is more expensive, For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away', this may answer your first question, the key is how you choose."

Everything that can be done has been done. Looking at the still silent Jesus Bu, King Kong didn't say anything more, got up and left to continue exercising.

When he came back from exercising, the figure of Jesus cloth was no longer under the big tree. After returning to the bar, he did not see it either.

Later, he learned from Makino that Jesus Bu had just left in a hurry by driving a small boat out to sea, and only confessed that he had something to deal with, and he might have to leave for a long time. Everyone in the Red Hair Pirates.

After hearing the news, King Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief, probably guessing where Jesus Bu went.

Knowing that when Jesus Bu comes back again, he will probably not continue to be decadent.

A few days later, the red-haired pirates came back, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

Although King Kong gained some power of time and converted it into game power by touching the famous knife in the red hair's hand during this period, it can only extend the time he continues to stay in this world for another two months or so.

But seeing that the goodwill value with the red hair has not yet reached the standard for acquiring skills, King Kong couldn't help secretly worrying. As for Jesus Bu, he still hasn't returned.

On this day, King Kong was indescribably shocked when he saw Luffy, who was like a rubber man, constantly dragging his hands, feet, and even his face long in front of him.

If he remembers correctly, in the original comics, Luffy should have accidentally found the rubber in the superhuman devil fruit from the ship of the red-haired pirates nearly a year after the red-haired pirates came to Windmill Village Eat the fruit and become a Devil Fruit user.

And now, it has been less than three months since the red-haired pirates came to Windmill Village.

The plot has changed!
For such a thing, King Kong quickly calmed down after being shocked. He knew that because of his intervention, even if he had tried his best not to change the influence of the plot, the plot had somewhat changed.

After calming down, King Kong explained the knowledge of the devil fruit to Luffy, and quietly clicked on the green logo on Luffy's head.

Soon, in Luffy's personal information template, he saw a message that disappointed him.

Superhuman rubber fruit ability (conditions have not been met, can not be learned)
Although King Kong doesn't like Luffy's rubber fruit ability, it is a very powerful ability anyway. If it is converted into a skill, it is at least a level higher than ordinary skills and extraordinary skills.

However, right now he is unable to study, which somewhat disappoints him.

As for the reason for not being able to learn, it is not because of insufficient favorability points. Now Luffy has more than 70 favorability points for him, which is more than enough, but it is because of himself that he cannot learn.
