Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 17 Exercises
Although he had already made some psychological preparations, Roger only realized the difficulty after he actually started practicing the parasitic line.

In principle, the trick of parasitic lines is not complicated.

Wrap the thin thread around the target's body, and then manipulate the target's body by controlling the thread.

Both the principle and the effect seem to be easy to understand.

But it turns out that what the brain can understand does not necessarily mean that the hands can understand it.

There is no difficulty in manipulating the thin thread wrapped around the puppet.

The real difficulty of the parasitic line lies in how to flexibly drive the target body through the subtle manipulation of the fingers.

After several hours of practice in the training room, Roger had to admit that he now encountered a hurdle that he couldn't overcome.

It is not difficult to animate the puppet through thin lines.

The puppet is moving, but the posture when it is moving can be described by an idiom, which is horrible.

Even a zombie with severe arthritis is more flexible and pleasing to the eye than the puppet he is controlling now.

Can not be done!
Not to mention manipulating the target's body to fight at this level, even simple serving of tea and water is not enough.

Roger terminated his practice this time, and his brain began to function crazily.

The parasitic line can be said to be one of the representative moves of the fruit of the line, and it is a move that is both practical and ornamental.

Whether it's to satisfy his own preferences or to increase his fighting methods, he can't let go of the move of the parasitic line.

Moreover, the proficiency of the parasitic line trick also proved his micromanipulation ability to a certain extent.

If he can't even master the parasitic line, then he can also say goodbye to the more difficult shadow riding line.

Not to mention considering the issue of the awakening of the thread fruit.

After thinking for a few minutes, he took a deep breath and started practicing the parasitic thread again.

Since I can't think of any good method for the time being, I can only use the simplest and most brutal hard training.

Strictly speaking, this is only the third day since he obtained the fruit of the line, and he still has enough time to slowly practice this trick.

Time passed little by little, and before he knew it, Roger practiced in the training room until eleven o'clock in the evening.

He didn't finish his day's practice until he felt a clear sense of hunger again.

After moving his stiff fingers, he took out his mobile phone and searched for nearby restaurants, and ordered two pizzas and a family reunion bucket for himself.

After putting down his phone, he began to worry about his growing appetite.

At this rate, whether he can have enough to eat will be a problem in the future.

Half an hour later, the takeaway arrived home.

When the delivery boy who seemed to have just grown up asked him if he was satisfied with the service, he reacted and took out ten dollars and handed it to the delivery boy.

Although he has been here for three days, he still hasn't adapted to the American tipping culture.

Not to mention that he is a foreigner, even many Americans are full of resentment towards the tipping culture.

Obviously paying a tip can get better service, but now it turns out that there is no service if you don’t pay a tip.

Damn capitalism!
Two pizzas and a family reunion bucket all went into Roger's stomach in just over ten minutes.

After eating this dinner, which far exceeded his previous appetite, he rested on the sofa in the living room for a while, and then returned to the training room.

It wasn't until the sun rose that he dragged his tired body to the bathroom.

Wash, and then sleep in the dark.

After sleeping for nearly twelve hours, he opened his eyes again.

After that, he raised his right hand, and dozens of almost transparent thin lines were shot out from his right hand.

After these thin threads gushed out of his hands, they quickly flew to the training room far away from the bedroom, and wrapped around the fallen dolls in different categories.

Under his control, the puppet in the training room stood up unsteadily, like a baby learning to walk, and walked towards the dining room step by step.

A few minutes later, the puppet walked into the bedroom holding a steaming cup of coffee and stood in front of him.

After receiving the coffee from the puppet, Roger continued to manipulate the puppet, letting the puppet find the clothes he was going to wear today from the closet.

When the puppet put the selected clothes on the bed, he ended the manipulation of the puppet.

Bang!

The moment the thread disappeared, the puppet instantly lost its power to support and fell to the floor of the bedroom.

Not bad, significant progress!
Compared with when he just practiced yesterday, his control of the parasitic line can be said to have improved qualitatively.

Although there is no way to control the puppet to fight for the time being, it is no longer a problem to do some simple housework.

The premise is that he remembers the location of every item in the house.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, change your clothes.

After confirming that he was as handsome as ever, he went out with his wallet and cell phone.

I stayed at home for a day after moving, and now it's time to go out and "encounter" a bounty task.

New York at night is much quieter than during the day, and the security situation is a little worse than during the day.

After finishing his first meal of the day at a restaurant near the building, he dressed in casual attire and headed to the crime-prone neighborhood.

The more chaotic the place, the more likely it is to "chance encounter" the bounty mission.

And even if today's luck is not as good as Ouhuang, he can still move his body and practice his melee combat.

At the beginning, he planned to go to the famous Novice Village and the tourist attraction Hell's Kitchen.

But he eventually dismissed the idea and settled on a Flushing neighborhood in Queens.

It's only been a few days since I came to this world, and I haven't reached the point where I can earn my reputation in Hell's Kitchen.

"Sir, where are you really going? That place is not very peaceful. If you are alone..."

Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear the unlawful harm of such a good-looking young man like Roger, the taxi driver kindly reminded him.

"It's okay, just go there."

Roger, who was sitting in the back of the taxi, glanced at the driver and said with a smile.

He is now going to Flushing, a crime-prone area in Queens.

Flushing is the most ethnically diverse in New York City and the most racially diverse neighborhood in Queens.

According to statistics, more than 150 languages ​​are spoken in the Flushing community.

In addition, Flushing is also New York, and even the largest Chinese settlement in the United States.

In a community with high incidence of crime, diverse ethnic groups, and the possibility of encountering "fellow villagers", he said that he had to go for a stroll.

Even if you "encounter" and don't get the bounty task, it's a good choice to taste the authentic florist food.
