Chapter 230: Moon Training Begins
"Are you planning on looking for Vegapunk next, or what?"
I don't know when the sun set outside the window, and the moon is high in the sky.
On the big bed in the palace bedroom, Roy held Stussy in his arms.
"Well, I don't know. Let's wait for Lex to come back. I want to ask him in person."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
"……It's so kind of you."
What touched Stussy the most from beginning to end was that Roy truly treated her as a "complete person" and gave her all the respect and understanding, which was also what Stussy relied on and was reluctant to part with.
"Hmm~!"

As for Lex mentioned by Stussy, he was still exploring the ruins of the moon.
"Mr. Lex, we have completed the search and found no new relics."
The young boy Barrett walked up to Lex and reported on his exploration.
Although Lex and Red Earl's observation Haki are enough to easily cover the entire moon, many technological creations cannot effectively capture the special aura of living things.
So the three of them split up and spent several days carefully exploring the ruins of the ancient city.
And the harvest is naturally amazing.
"Barrett, very good. These discoveries will be of great use to our future plans. Whether it is these technological creations including robots, or these drawings and ancient books, they are all very valuable."
"As long as it's useful."
"Well, Barrett, do you feel anything special about staying on the moon these days?"
"Feeling...? ...Hiss, the flow of Haki in my body seems to be easier?"
"Yes! That's right! That's right. The moon not only has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of Haki, but it can also stimulate the potential of Haki in the body, especially the cultivation of Observation Haki and Armament Haki."
"Mr. Lex!~ If that's the case, then aren't we——?"
"Yes, I have obtained a precious piece of land. I will practice on the moon for the next few months."
"Yes!"
"Hahaha, Barrett, don't be so serious. This is not the army, and you are not my subordinate."
Barrett blinked in confusion:
"So what am I to Mr. Lex?"
"He is a brother who will fight with me all his life."
"!!--Mr. Lex."
Barrett was inexplicably moved.
Lex walked over and patted him on the shoulder. The 13-year-old Barrett was already nearly as tall as Lex, who was 3 meters tall.
"Okay, get ready to practice. Only strength can surpass all the friendship in the world."
"No, no matter how strong you are, you will always be the only guide in my life!"
The Red Earl had come to the two of them at some point, but he ignored their conversation and didn't say a word.
"Master, we are going to stay on the moon for a while to practice domineering. I wonder if the blood essence you have stored is sufficient?"
The Red Earl realized something instantly and frowned:
"Don't mess around, just practice normally."
Lex asked directly about the blood essence, which meant he must be looking for death again, practicing desperately, because only in this way would he need to obtain the blood essence.
"This is just my normal practice."
Lex smiled.
Barrett on the side seemed to have not realized what the two top powerhouses were talking about.
But after a few days, Barrett completely understood——
Barrett stood on the vast 'Infinite Land', watching the battle between the two people in front of him, stunned.
"Destroying God·Nine Heavens Frost Moon!!~"
"Red Secret Technique: Hell Song——!!~"
The Red Earl and Lex were moving at an extremely fast speed. Barrett used all his observation Haki but still found it difficult to catch sight of either of them.
The figures of the two people were like two auroras, one azure blue and the other blood red. Like comets, they dragged this long and narrow stream of light and collided violently with each other!
BANG!!!——~
The already soft lunar soil was completely turned into powder at this moment!
In the center of the battle between the two men, a super-large pit appeared. It was more than a hundred miles in diameter and its diameter exceeded all the surrounding craters!
next moment--
Thunder and lightning!
On the moon's surface, where there were no celestial phenomena or atmosphere, black and red arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from the void. Each arc was as thick as a bucket and pierced through the ground at will!
This is the dominant color of both of them!
"Master, your fruit has not yet awakened?"
Lex suddenly smiled and asked the Red Earl directly.
"Hmmmm!~"
"You don't even use the power of the fruit yourself, but you ask me whether the fruit has awakened."
Yes, more than several days have passed since the start of the battle, and Lex has not used any fruit abilities throughout the whole process. He only relied on swordsmanship and domineering to compete with the Red Earl, and he was not at all inferior!
Compared to the previous battle with Roger without using the fruit, the progress is visible to the naked eye.
The Red Earl is not weaker than Roger at all, and is even slightly stronger.
And Rex was able to fight against him without relying on the fruit and not be at a disadvantage.
"Hmm haha!~ Master, since we are practicing, we should have some pressure in order to make a breakthrough. Isn't this what you taught me?"
Lex's words seemed polite, but in fact they were extremely arrogant, and his words and deeds conveyed the same meaning -
Without using the power of the fruit, I feel no pressure in front of the Red Earl!
That's why Lex took the initiative to ask the Red Earl whether the vampire fruit had awakened and whether he could put some pressure on himself.
This is the pride of Rex, who has fully entered the realm of God with his Observation Haki!
"Hmm~"
The Red Earl chuckled but did not answer directly.
Because the next moment!
His body underwent extremely strange changes!
The pair of vampire flesh wings behind him gradually shrank and turned into exquisite white bone wings.
The sharp nails shrink and turn into bone scales covering the surface of the palm.
His vampire body shrank completely, and strange blood-red lines appeared all over his body. His eyes turned extremely blood red, like two blood moons.
He floated in the air, and the bone wings behind him didn't even tremble.
the most important--
Behind the Red Earl, there was a circle of blood-red flames!!! ~
This is——the awakening of the mythical beast species!
The Red Earl, who had eaten the fruit for less than two years, had awakened the fruit without realizing it!
"Hmm~ Red Secret Technique: Bloody Moon Slaughter~"
Along with a blood-red light that seemed to move instantly, a stream of blood spurted out of Lex's body, and a huge scar appeared on his chest!
