Chapter 1232 Failed Awakening (Part )

The shocking wounds on his body were actually healing slowly, and new muscle tissue was growing to replace the damaged parts.

This amazing speed of recovery shocked and horrified Napoleon.

In contrast, Napoleon was full of vigor and unstoppable at the beginning, but as time went on, the long and fierce fighting gradually made him unable to cope.

The wounds on his body continued to increase, crisscrossing each other, and blood kept gushing out of the wounds, staining the deck under his feet red.

His breath became weaker and weaker, and his movements were no longer as agile and powerful as before.

At this time, Roy had gained an absolute upper hand, pinning Napoleon to the deck, punching him one after another.

Esdeath, who was watching the battle from the side, had sharp eyes and noticed some unusual details - Roy's devil fruit ability seemed to be showing signs of awakening!

Could it be that, at this critical moment, Roy is about to achieve a breakthrough and gain even more powerful strength?

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a violent breath gushing out from Roy.

His eyes turned red and a low growl came from his mouth, like a real wild beast.

At the same time, an invisible pressure spread, making people shudder.

Obviously, Roy had completely fallen into a state of madness at this moment, and the injuries all over his body were recovering at an astonishing speed.

"Roar~!"

In an instant, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, which made people terrified.

Roy, who was riding on Napoleon, had his eyes filled with a deep blood red in an instant, and his normally round pupils suddenly stood up like a ferocious beast.

Then, it raised its head and let out a long howl towards the sky. The sound resounded through the clouds and echoed in the air for a long time.

At this moment, Roy's entire temperament changed drastically.

Instead, there was a ferocious and violent aura like a wild beast.

At this moment, it exudes a heart-pounding smell of danger all over its body, as if it would pounce on its prey at any time and tear it into pieces.

Esdeath, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.

Because from the beginning to the end, her powerful Observation Haki had been firmly locked on Roy, so she could clearly sense every subtle change in Roy's body and mind.

In Esdeath's eyes, Roy at this moment has completely changed. He is no longer a human being, but a real beast.

The figure standing in front of her seemed to be just covered in a layer of human skin, but his inner self had long been occupied by wild animal nature.

Not only Esdeath was keenly aware of this, but even Napoleon, who was forced to endure Roy's attack, also felt the huge change in the man in front of him.

For some reason, Napoleon felt that Roy in front of him seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air, completely losing any trace.

what happened?

Everyone was puzzled.

suddenly!

Esdeath's pupils suddenly shrank and a thought quickly flashed through her mind.

She remembered the description of the animal-type devil fruit when her father introduced it to her.

It is said that after an animal-type devil fruit awakens, there is a certain probability that the host will lose its original will and become a beast driven only by instinct.

Could it be that... Roy is in this state now?

"Roy! No! It's a saltwater crocodile!"

Esdeath widened her eyes and looked in disbelief at the figure in front of her who was fighting fiercely with Napoleon.

I didn't expect that what my father said was true. When the Animal-type Devil Fruit is awakened, it is really possible that one's sanity will be devoured by the animal and one will become a mindless beast.

This was the first time Esdeath had seen such a situation in all her years of roaming the sea.

The awakening of a devil fruit is extremely rare, and the chance is even comparable to awakening Conqueror's Haki.

I didn't expect that there would be such a crisis after awakening the devil fruit.

Fortunately, this situation only occurs with animal-type devil fruits.

But when I think of the animal type, many of the younger brothers in the family have animal type devil fruits. Will they also be like Roy in the future, devoured by wild beasts and lose their human sanity?

Esdeath became worried.

At this moment, the one standing there was no longer the ferocious crocodile, Roy, but a huge, hideous, and irrational saltwater crocodile.

This saltwater crocodile exudes a terrifying aura, its iron-hard scales flash with cold light, and its sharp claws seem to be able to tear everything apart.

What is even more shocking is that this is not an ordinary saltwater crocodile, but a terrifying creature that possesses the ability of an animal-type devil fruit and has already awakened.

Roy is dead, his body has been devoured by the spirit of the saltwater crocodile, and now the one controlling this body is the extremely ferocious saltwater crocodile.

Thinking of this, Esdeath gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in her hand, not daring to take her eyes off the saltwater crocodile's every move.

The saltwater crocodile opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and then suddenly swung its huge claws, grabbing Napoleon with a sharp sound.

Upon seeing this, Napoleon quickly raised his arms to block and protected them above his head.

However, the power of the saltwater crocodile was too strong. With a "rip" sound, a piece of flesh on Napoleon's arm was torn off in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Ah~!"

Napoleon screamed in pain, his arms trembling constantly, obviously in great pain.

He never expected that the opponent's power would suddenly become so huge that he would be completely unable to resist.

The saltwater crocodile rushed forward with astonishing speed and force like a heavy truck out of control.

Its huge body brought up a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye it knocked the unsuspecting Napoleon to the ground.

The saltwater crocodile opened its bloody mouth, big enough to swallow an adult bull, revealing its sharp and terrifying fangs, and bit Napoleon's head fiercely.

At this moment, Napoleon's heart was filled with fear. He had never faced the threat of death so close.

"don't want!"

Napoleon shouted desperately, but his voice seemed so weak.

He watched the bloody mouth getting closer and closer, as if he could already feel the deadly breath coming towards him.

However, at this moment, his arms had already become too weak to lift due to excessive shock and the weight of his body. He could only stare with his eyes wide open helplessly, waiting for the decision of fate.

At this critical moment, a crisp clanging sound was suddenly heard.

There was a flash of cold light, and a long sword was unsheathed like lightning.

In an instant, the air around seemed to be frozen and the cold was biting.

Then, a flash of ice-blue light suddenly rose up, like a meteor across the night sky, quickly covering the huge body of the saltwater crocodile.
