Chapter 124: Ancestral Powerful Buff

Swamp Trial Area.

Usopp and Chopper were walking slowly along the Cloud River back to back, always alert to their surroundings, fearing that something might jump out from nowhere.

"Chopper, we've been here for so long, why hasn't the priest appeared yet?" Usopp asked Chopper behind him in a low voice.

"I don't know! Maybe he's afraid of the two of us?"

Usopp's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Don't tell me, this is really possible. After all, we both look strong. Maybe this so-called priest would be scared and run away as soon as he gets within a hundred meters of us!"

"Hahaha... I thought so too... Ah! There's a spider!"

Chopper was laughing when he suddenly screamed and jumped onto Usopp with his whole body.

Usopp was also startled by Chopper's shout at first, but when he saw the spider that Chopper was talking about, he sneered.

I saw a "spider" above a bush at this time, about the size of two adult men's heads.

"Chopper, that's it? This spider is not even one thousandth the size of the one I killed in the previous battle at sea. What is this?"

"Huh? Really? Usopp!"

Chopper immediately looked at Usopp with admiration.

Feeling Chopper's gaze, Usopp felt refreshed from head to toe, and then he said:

"Just wait, I'm going to catch that spider!"

After saying that, Usopp walked towards the direction of the spider. For him, who had been dealing with various insects since he was a child, he was not afraid of this kind of thing at all, right?

Unless it is extremely large, at its current size, it is still within his control.

Come on, today let Uncle Usopp show Chopper what qualities a qualified and brave sea warrior should possess!

Usopp came to the spider and grabbed it without saying a word...

"Ah?"

"This spider isn't very big, why is it so heavy?"

Usopp showed a puzzled expression on his face. He had just used quite a lot of force but failed to pull up the spider.

So Usopp pulled it a few more times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick up the spider.

For a moment, Usopp was a little embarrassed, especially when he felt Chopper's strange gaze behind him, the feeling of embarrassment became even stronger.

(??へ??╬)!

Usopp took a few steps back. He couldn't believe that he couldn't even lift a spider.

Usopp opened his arms.

"Ahem! Pah!"

A pool of saliva fell on his hand, and then Usopp rubbed it hard with both hands.

Chopper, who was watching this scene from behind, was completely stunned. He felt an itchy head for no reason. He must be growing a brain.

He felt that the knowledge entered his mind in a disgusting way, and if possible he would rather he hadn't seen this scene.

What should I do? I am going to vomit last night’s meal…

However, Usopp didn't care about this at all. After his hands were almost rubbed raw, he finally stopped.

In an instant, Usopp's aura changed, his eyes were full of confidence, and he slowly walked towards the spider.

This is a super powerful buff passed down from his ancestors, he just doesn’t believe it, this still won’t work!!!

Usopp came to the spider and grabbed it again. His eyes focused and he exerted force with both hands, but the spider still did not move.

But this time Usopp did not stop, but continued to exert force, and his face began to slowly become congested and turned red.

Finally, when his face was about to burst, he finally felt his hand lighten, and the entire "spider" was pulled out by him?

only……

Is his vision blurry? Why does he feel like he sees a human figure? Has the spider transformed?

Following a loud 'boom', Usopp and Chopper both turned their heads stiffly and looked back. They were stunned when they saw a figure slowly standing up from the ground.

In an instant, there seemed to be some kind of magnetic force between the two of them, and they quickly moved towards each other. Only after they were close to each other did they turn their gaze back to the figure opposite.

Usopp was no fool, and when he realized that the 'spider' he thought was was actually a human, he immediately thought of the identity of the man in front of him.

The priest who presides over the Swamp Trial!

Usopp and Chopper looked at each other solemnly, taking a defensive stance. The other party also looked at them quietly.

Five minutes later~

Usopp and Chopper tilted their heads at the same time.

???

It was obvious that both of them were staring at each other, but neither of them made a move, and there was not even the most basic communication.

Moreover, Usopp found that the person opposite them was biting his lips tightly and there was a lot of sweat on his face.

Instantly, Usopp thought of a possibility and said tentatively: "Well... you can't speak if you bite your lower lip!"

"what!"

Spider-Man screamed, sweat oozing from his face, and said regretfully, "I forgot!"

Usopp and Chopper: This guy...isn't he a fool?

The man looked at the two of them, waved his hands strangely, and said, "I am the priest in charge of the Swamp Trial, Gedaz!"

"Since you reminded me just now, I will let you die comfortably later!"

Gadaz first grinned, then suddenly yelled and instantly took a defensive posture.

"What kind of magic did you use? Why can't I see anything all of a sudden?"

Usopp and Chopper were startled by his sudden action at first, but when they found that they were all standing still without any movement, and that Gedaz's eyes turned white, they came to a conclusion.

I've confirmed through eye contact that he is an idiot for sure!

Usopp turned to look at Chopper and whispered, "Chopper, this guy is a fool, we can..."

Half a minute later~

"Do you understand? Chopper? This is our battle plan!"

"Yeah! I understand!" Chopper nodded vigorously.

"What are you mumbling about? Do you think you can defeat me by making me invisible? You are too naive!"

After that, Gedaz created a strange cloud in the surrounding area, and then said with a smile: "I have spread swamp clouds everywhere around me."

"As soon as you come here, you will be trapped in these swamp clouds and unable to move!"

"Come on, let's see how you can defeat me!"

Usopp didn't say anything, but took out his slingshot and shot at Gedaz.

"Gunpowder Star!"

The attack landed directly on Gedaz, setting his clothes on fire.

"Ahhh, why is there a fire?"

Without any hesitation, Gadaz took off his clothes immediately.

However, during this time when he was panicking, Chopper had already circled behind him and transformed into a stronger form. The muscles on his arms bulged high.

He clasped his hands together, ran towards Gedaz, and jumped high when he was almost close to the swamp cloud.

"Carved hoof!"
