Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 320: Incomplete Nika, Complete Luffy (Monthly Tickets Requested~)

"Luffy!"

Realizing something, Chihong suddenly stopped his actions, and his eyes were once again fixed on the health bar on Luffy's attribute panel.

The next moment...

Luffy's health value changed again.

0.5...1...3...12...30...

As the drum sounded as if from the ancient times, Luffy's body suddenly spasmed violently as if he was electrocuted.

White gas floated along his scarred skin.

And with every leap of his body, the health bar on Luffy's attribute panel would begin to recover in an irregular but increasingly significant way.

In the blink of an eye, his health bar was full again.

However, even so, Luffy's health did not stop changing. Instead, he broke through the original upper limit of his health value in one fell swoop, and quickly rushed to a higher level!

"It's coming!"

Realizing that Luffy had successfully entered the awakening state, Akame showed a more nervous look than before.

He instantly turned off the machine panel in front of him, and without time to remind his companions around him, he directly increased the effect of his spiritual vision and looked directly at Luffy.

In an instant, his sight directly passed through this turbid material world.

In Akame's eyes, the whole world turned into pieces of free spiritual energy and individuals existing in the state of soul!

And Luffy's soul was right in front of Akame.

But compared to Luffy's blood bar that was constantly rising, his soul at this moment did not change at all, and it was still the same as before.

In fact, because he had just experienced a near-death state, Luffy's soul flame was much weaker than usual, and he was visibly weak.

At the same time, Luffy, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly exuded an extraordinary momentum.

The sharp domineering aura suddenly gushed out from his body, like a dark lightning, which made Nami and others who were originally gathered nearby change their expressions suddenly. They couldn't help but take a step back and stay away from Luffy at this time.

The drum sound became more and more obvious and more intense!

Even the sea kings wandering around Fishman Island were awakened by the ancient drum sound, opened their eyes inexplicably, and looked towards the direction of Fishman Island.

"What is this!?"

The sea kings, who have wisdom that is no less than that of humans, felt this familiar and unfamiliar drum sound, and showed puzzled eyes.

After all, their king has not grown up yet.

According to the agreement, it is not the time for them to go out.

So...

Why did Joy Boy appear at this time! ?

The sea kings showed doubts in their huge eyes.

Because this means that from this moment on, the originally written destiny has suddenly changed.

They can't judge...

Whether this change is a good thing or a bad thing.

…

…

On the other side.

Red's nerves were still tense.

Luffy had more and more Nika characteristics.

According to his impression of the anime, in a few seconds, Luffy would show a weird smile in a coma, and then become a "Nika" with a belly laugh!

He must stop everything before Luffy becomes happy!

It seemed to be in response to Red's voice.

At this moment, a magical mental power suddenly appeared out of thin air from Luffy's body and quickly wrapped around his soul.

At the same time, with the emergence of that special mental power, the "Nika power" gushing out of Luffy's body also suddenly increased.

It was as if all this power was preparing for this moment!

"It appeared!!!"

The red pupils that had been ready for a long time suddenly expanded.

The next moment, he immediately took action.

The surging mental power turned into a sharp arrow like a roaring torrent, and quickly shot towards the mental power contained in the fruit ability.

And the facts prove that...

That strange spiritual power is indeed the fruit will hidden in Luffy's body.

Because after discovering Red's mental attack, the spiritual power magically turned suddenly and avoided Red's mental attack.

Fortunately, Red had expected this.

He quickly turned his spiritual power into a barrier again, directly blocking the way of the will power.

At the same time, Red suddenly shouted loudly: "Brooke!"

Brook, who had already started to act, immediately responded:

"Leave it to me next!"

"I will never let the power of the devil fruit affect Luffy!"

While speaking, Brook, who had transformed into a green ghost fire ghost state at some point, directly transformed into countless fists, and then smashed towards Luffy's body like a rain of pear blossoms, but perfectly avoided Luffy's soul, causing as little damage to Luffy as possible.

After all... his purpose is not to take advantage of Luffy's period of time before he wakes up to make him completely silent.

But he wants to trigger Brook's magical characteristics in this way!

Characteristic: Wandering Soul, the effect is that when fighting with the enemy in close combat, there is a certain probability of completing soul interaction with the enemy!

That's right!

Red and Brook's plan is to use Brook's characteristics to completely protect Luffy's soul.

As for whether Nika's will will infect Brooke?

Chi Hong feels that this possibility does not exist!

If Nika's will could be so easily combined with someone other than Destiny, it wouldn't have been unable to find a host other than Joyboy for eight hundred years!

The fists thrown by Brooke in the soul state can also be regarded as close combat, and can also trigger Brooke's wandering spirit characteristic...

And this is the best plan Chihong thought of to help Luffy avoid the invasion of Nika's will! ! !

Brooke, who had been practicing in his mind for a long time, did not disappoint Chi Hong.

Almost the moment those hundreds of fist shadows fell, his characteristics were successfully triggered.

Under the magical power of Pokémon's characteristics, Brooke, who is a will-o'-the-wisp, got directly into Luffy's body.

Instead...

It was Luffy's soul that turned into a soft, strange form and flew out of his body, flying towards Brook's body.

In an instant!

Nika's will, which was still frantically attacking Luffy's soul, suddenly stopped and stopped in place as if a machine had crashed.

Obviously, even Nika's will, which represents the power of the gods in the pirate world - the sun god Nika, never imagined that one day he would encounter such a situation.

Just as Chi Hong expected...

When the soul of the original destiny person appeared in Luffy's body, the will of the Nika Fruit immediately lost its target and was at a loss.

Of course Chi Hong will not miss this great opportunity!

He directly increased the output of his spiritual power, instantly turning it into an unbreakable web of spiritual power. Taking advantage of Nika's dilemma, he directly wrapped it around him.

Then he pulled the mysterious Nika's will out of Luffy's body.

"Okay, Brooke!" Red shouted again.

After receiving the order, Brooke immediately canceled the wandering soul characteristics, allowing his and Luffy's souls to be converted back again.

"In this way, Luffy should be able to awaken the fifth level of power without being infected by Nika's will, right?!"

Red looked at Luffy's body with an expectant look.

But what Chihong didn't expect was...

As the Nika Fruit disappeared, the power of Nika that had been continuously surging out of Luffy's body began to gradually fade away.

Even Luffy's hair, which had been dyed white, began to look black and white.

"What's going on!?"

Brooke, who had just returned to the skeleton body, immediately asked in surprise when he saw this.

It's a pity...

At this moment, Chihong was also frowning, completely confused about the condition of Luffy's body at this time.

"Does it...do you have to have Nika's will to make the power of Nika in the Devil Fruit work!?"

"So...the awakening of the animal fruit's ability is most likely to be integrated with the fruit's will in the body?!"

"That's why there are so many failed awakeners of animal fruit abilities in the city."

"Maybe it's because the souls or wills of those ability users are too weak, so that the ability users' own souls are directly replaced by the fruit will, and they become so dumb..."

A bold guess suddenly flashed through Hong's mind, and he felt that this was probably the guess closest to the truth.

"That is to say...Did Luffy fail to awaken his fruit power?"

Seeing Luffy's body of Nika's power fading away, Chi Hong couldn't help but look at Nika's will trapped by the mental barrier in his hand.

He is sure...

As long as he loosens the restraint on Nika's will and lets it continue to merge with Luffy's soul, Luffy can still successfully awaken to Nika's form.

In this way, once Luffy, who is affected by Nika's will, enters Nika's form, he will be in a weird state of laughing out loud no matter what situation he encounters, just like in the anime.

perhaps……

This is the fundamental reason why Nika willed to find Luffy.

Nika's will may have had no ill intentions from beginning to end.

The reason why he chose Luffy, in addition to the choice of fate, may also be because the strength of other people's souls simply cannot bear the fusion of Nika's will.

Even Luffy, as the protagonist, has difficulty controlling his emotions after being fused with Nika's will.

If it were someone else, it is very likely that their consciousness would be directly destroyed by Nika's will, and their awakening would fail.

only……

Letting Luffy's will be influenced by foreign objects for the sake of strength is completely unacceptable to Chi Hong.

So rather than Luffy becoming weird, he would rather Luffy fail in his awakening.

"Forget it, if you fail, just fail."

Thousands of thoughts passed by in an instant.

Chihong sighed softly in her heart, and then secretly said with confidence:

"Anyway, even without Nika's power, the power of the machine is enough to push Luffy to the top!"

However……

Just as Chihong was thinking about how to comfort Luffy who failed to awaken...

A magical power suddenly burst out from Luffy's body!

At this moment, Luffy, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Red...everyone!?"

"...What...what happened to me?!"

Luffy, whose body was still in semi-Nika form, blinked in surprise.

But the next second, he suddenly realized something and suddenly looked at his hands.

"This is..."

Luffy's eyes first showed a hint of doubt, but then he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Feeling the residual power of Nika in his body, he seemed to have grasped a mysterious key inexplicably!

And the door corresponding to this key had appeared in front of him a long time ago.

Luffy did not hesitate at all, almost instinctively, he directly stretched out the key and opened the tightly closed door.

In an instant...

The fairy attribute that had always been difficult for Luffy to control and fully awakened suddenly surged out from the mysterious unknown space and quickly occupied Luffy's whole body.

The brilliance of evolution suddenly bloomed on Luffy's body.

Seeing this scene, the Straw Hat Pirates, including Red, showed surprise.

The next moment, the stagnant drum of liberation sounded again.

Through powerful perception, Red instantly realized the changes that were happening to Luffy.

From a macro perspective, Luffy's physical condition at this time can be simply explained as follows:

The Nika Power, which was originally about to have a new home under the guidance of Nika's will, was about to return to the origin of the fruit after discovering that their general Nika's will had disappeared, waiting for the opportunity to be truly liberated...

However, at this moment, the awakened Luffy, relying on the characteristics of the Nika Power, actually directly awakened the more mysterious fairy energy in his body!

And because the fairy energy in Luffy's body itself comes from Luffy's Nika Fruit, it can be said that he has a natural affinity for the Nika Power.

So using a more anthropomorphic statement is...

After the awakening of the fairy energy, after discovering the Nika Power in Luffy's body, it directly clapped its hands:

"Your boss is gone, from now on I am your new boss!"

And the Nika Power, which originally had no independent consciousness, actually bowed down directly after feeling the enthusiasm of the fairy energy!

In this way, under the leadership of the fairy energy, Luffy's awakening continued.

The aggressive drumbeats soon enveloped the entire Fishman Island.

When the shining evolutionary light enveloped Luffy's body, it also changed rapidly.

Although many things happened in this instant, from Luffy's awakening of Nika to the fading of the evolutionary light, it took only a few dozen seconds, not even a minute.

The strong state change brought great psychological pressure to the Straw Hats.

When the evolutionary light turned into spots and faded, a brand new Luffy appeared in front of everyone.

But unlike the weird and happy Luffy in the anime, although Luffy showed an exaggerated smile on his face at this time, everyone could see that...

This smile is the expression that Luffy often shows when he is happy!
