People are pirates, opening the era of games

"They were discovered. Whitebeard and Hancock's pirate ships have left. Who could it be?"

The equipment has already been deployed to process the fluorescent cat demons and dark cursed cat demons according to regular procedures, turning them into special raw materials for artificial devil fruits.

The "untimely" sound reached his ears at this moment, and Caesar Kurang flashed an angry look. What he disliked most was that someone was causing trouble while he was conducting experiments.

"My new species Devil Fruit experiment will definitely not fail!"

With a weird laugh, Caesar Kurang turned into gas and floated towards the passage, blocking the Straw Hats who wanted to enter the passage.

"Not Doflamingo!"

He has long black hair and horns on top of his head. He is wearing purple lipstick and eye makeup. He is obviously not the same person as Doflamingo's portrait.

I can't tell for the moment whether the man in front of me is the owner of the villa, but judging from the blood stains on the blanket and the secret room, it's not easy to say that he is the owner of the house.

"Kulang, your reward is quite large!"

Nami stood back and stared at Caesar Courant. In the past, she would watch the pirates with higher bounties for Cocosia Village. Although she knew her own strength, if she encountered a pirate with a bounty that was in a dying state, she would at least have to pay attention to it. Recognized.

And Culang was also in her knowledge, but she didn't expect that this guy had a hiding place in Orange Town.

Judging from the size of the villa, there must be a lot of treasures in the secret room at the end of the secret passage.

“Before you took away my bounty, you had become my experimental subjects.

Although it is not as easy to use for children, I just have some new things here, and it would be good to use you for experiments. Culang laughed wildly.

After saying that, he threw the gas soundboard at Luffy and others, and all the gas stored in the specially made soundboard dispersed, and then Couran detonated the device inside the soundboard.

Boom!

The gas exploded instantly. Luffy reacted quickly and stretched out his arm to pull the table over to block it. Although the impact of the explosion was slowed down, they were still knocked away.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa...

"You still want to take away my bounty with your strength, what a dream!" Courant stared at Luffy. He had seen Luffy's action of using the properties of rubber to extend his arms just now.

"Devil fruit users are another good research material."

Caesar Coulan did not give Luffy and the others a chance to breathe. He gathered the gas produced in his body into his lungs, and then spit out a linear gas laser cannon to shoot at Luffy and the other five.

The first shot was easily dodged by Luffy by extending his neck. The gas gun missed the target, but the wall it hit was instantly melted.

"Rubber pistol!"

It was not Luffy's style to just dodge. While avoiding the gas gun, he waved his right hand and hit Kurang.

Kakuro directly transformed into an elemental body to avoid Luffy's fist, and let out a mocking laugh.

"Luffy, it's too narrow here. Let's move the battlefield outside."

Nami felt that fighting in the room was disadvantageous because the other party was also a Devil Fruit user and she didn't know what other changes would be revealed later.

"Judging from its nature, it should be a natural fruit. How should we deal with it?"

Courant was still blowing gas. Usopp, who had been squatting outside, saw the timing of Luffy and the others leaving the room and aimed a fatal lead shot at Courant's head. The lead ball passed through the broken space with a sound of breaking through the air. The wall hit Courant in the head.

Ah!

Culang, who was completely unprepared, screamed like a squealing chicken and found the sneak attack behind him through the broken wall.

Usopp also curled up immediately, and Coulang did not find any trace of him under the cover of the lush leaves.

This is Usopp. He does not have monster-level strength. When encountering danger, his first thought is to escape, but at critical moments, he will also fight in his own unique way.

Considering that there are still people in the dark, Courant believes that a quick victory should be achieved.

He crossed his hands and took out two matches, lit them and spread the flames to his fists.Since the body is made of gas, it will explode when touched by flames.

The simple thing is that the open space outside the villa is spacious, and Luffy and others react quickly without being directly bombed. Culang is a little impatient: "You are like rats crossing the street, you can only dodge in all directions."

Luffy made a face at him and stuck out his tongue: "Then you're here to catch us, you idiot!"

A wave of taunts directly broke Courant's defense. While spitting out fragrance, he threw needles at Luffy, Nami and others.

One of them happened to pass through and shot towards Nami. Since her sight was briefly blocked by Luffy, Nami had no time to react when she noticed it. She was about to be hit and Luffy stretched out his arm to block it for her.

"Luffy!"

Everyone was concerned about Luffy's opening. Courant first materialized the gas into a gas rope and threw it at them, and they were all restrained.

"No Empty World!"

Coulang clenched his fists and opened his arms as he did against the disobedient fluorescent cat demon and dark cursed cat demon, and all the air near the lasso was sucked away.

Luffy, who had been hit by a muscle relaxant, also lost mobility. Without oxygen, even a strong-willed person like Zoro could not exert his strength.

"Luffy drink this!"

At the critical moment, Chopper threw the [Purifying Secret Potion of the Lake Spirit] that was left over from the time of removing Nami's curse to Luffy. The latter opened his mouth and bit the glass tube directly, and the almost transparent potion flowed into his body. For a moment, Luffy regained his strength.

The others were taken out of this strange area surrounded by gas, and their faces gradually recovered after breathing oxygen again.

Usopp fired a gunpowder star towards Kurang, but the latter easily avoided it, and his position was completely exposed.

Facing those with natural fruit abilities, Luffy had no good solution.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, countless flames fell from the sky and blocked Couran's attack, and Ace appeared in front of Luffy and others.

"Caesar Courant!"

Ace heard the sound of the explosion and decided to come over to take a look. Unexpectedly, Luffy and the others were being suppressed by him.

"Luffy, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Luffy described Coulan's abilities to Ace seriously.

After listening to his words, Ace also had a basic understanding of Caesar Coulant.

It is indeed difficult to deal with people with natural fruit abilities without mastering their domineering power.

Courant, who saw Ace on the other side, was not as relaxed as before. Ace was well-known before joining the Whitebeard Pirates. After joining the Whitebeard Pirates, his strength would definitely increase under Whitebeard's teaching and training. It's gone up several levels.

"Damn it! The materials made with those two cat demons should have just been completed now. If they escape, they will be gone!"

Culang gritted his teeth. At this time, he had no way to communicate and would be targeted by Brother Ming. He had no choice but to confront Ace head-on.

"The best weapon against those with natural fruit abilities is Haki, especially armed Haki."

Ace's tone was majestic, domineering wrapped around his fists.
