My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 129 I'm already dead

Tully's face was pale and her lips were trembling.

"He was right above my head, but now he's getting farther and farther away."

"Heaven? This range is too big. Let me give it a try."

Annan raised his head, a flash of red in his eyes.

Seeing, hearing, and domineering, fully open.

His domineering aura turned into sensory tentacles, stretching upward into the sky.

Although Annan's sight color has a large range, the range is still too large for an aimless search in the sky. Esdeath also turned on his knowledge and joined in.

A few minutes later, Annan helplessly dismissed the situation.

"I have explored all places within the range and found nothing. No matter how high it is, there is nothing I can do. This has reached my limit."

The red light in Esdeath's eyes gradually disappeared and she shook her head.

"Nothing at all."

Then she looked at Tully curiously.

"Annan and I didn't find the king, how did you know?"

"Because of an evil ritual."

Tully stood up and sat on the ground, silently lifting her cloak and showing her body to the two people in front of her.

"Is your situation... caused by the fruit's ability?"

Annan frowned and asked.

In the eyes of Annan and Esdeath, except for the cloak, Tully was not wearing any clothes, but she was not naked either.

Without exposing those sensitive parts, the whole body seemed to be covered with a protective film, showing a "sick" color of white with black patterns. The skin looked very smooth, like polished marble.

Esdeath walked over, squatted down, and reached out to check Tully's body.

"Please don't touch me."

Tali avoided Esdeath's hand as if she was electrocuted.

"This is not a fruit ability, but a curse. Everyone who touches me will be like me, and their bodies will gradually turn into stone."

"Stone? Does that mean your body has turned into stone?" Esdeath retracted her outstretched hand, a little surprised, "No wonder there is only a little residue left in your life card."

"That's right." Annan quickly hit his left palm with his right fist, "This seems to explain why I can't feel your life breath."

If everything has turned into stone, how can there be any breath of life left?

"It must be because of this curse that you can sense the king, right?"

Esdeath stood up, looked at her right hand, and said to Tully.

"Yes, it is precisely because of the curse that I can feel where my father is."

"Since it is a curse, there should be someone who can release the curse."

Esdeath touched her chin with her left hand and said.

"You and the king are connected because of the curse. Then your father is either a victim of the curse like you, or he is the one who released the curse."

"But from your tone towards the king, I think the latter is more likely. Right, Princess Tully."

"Yes, it's not just me. Before this, all the people in the Quinta Kingdom were cursed by him." Tali said.

"Wait, you said everyone here was cursed by him?"

After listening to Tully's words, Annan asked quickly.

"But none of those people had symptoms similar to yours."

"This curse will not take effect once it is laid. It is like a seed buried in a person's body. It will only take root and sprout when the owner needs it."

Tully leaned forward and pushed herself up with her arms. There is a "crackling" sound between the joints.

"When this curse takes effect, the host's body will turn into stone bit by bit, and life will come to an end."

Esdeath looked at Tully, who was already petrified.

"Then you're going to die."

Tully smiled.

"No, I'm already dead."
