Chapter 88 Infiltration...successful
"this?"
A look of confusion flashed across Barrett's face.
He looked at the black shackles on the black-haired navy's hands and wrists, frowned and asked:
"Hailou stone shackles?"
"That's right." Darren lowered his head and stared at the dark stone shackles that exuded the vastness and coldness of the sea, and a playful smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hailou Stone is equivalent to the solid sea. It can release the same energy as the sea. It also has extremely high hardness, so it can block the abilities of Devil Fruit users."
"When a Devil Fruit user touches the Sea Tower Stone, not only will the Devil Fruit ability be lost, but the physical strength and physical condition will be greatly weakened, entering a weak state."
"Although Quinn possesses the Haki of Knowledge, the Haki that sees and hears senses breath..."
"Because of the Hailou Stone, our auras have been suppressed to the lowest point. Naturally, Quinn can't notice that our bodies have become stronger."
At this point, the expression on Darren's face became weird.
"If Fatty Quinn knew that under his 'torture', not only were we not weakened, but we were quietly getting stronger..."
"...And he who should have been able to detect this easily, ended up missing the opportunity because he gave us high-purity sea tower stone shackles..."
"I guess he was so angry that he exploded on the spot, right?"
Upon hearing Darren's explanation, Barrett's eyes twitched and he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
Is this... okay?
"...He is truly a genius scientist."
After holding it in for a long time, Barrett choked out a sentence.
Darren smiled, stood up slowly, and dragged the heavy sea tower stone shackles, making a clear clattering sound.
As he moved his body, he twisted his neck and made a sound like fried beans.
The movements are natural and smooth, and there is no trace of the feeling of weakness and stiffness that I felt when I was first shackled seven days ago! ?
"How are you adapting to Hailou Stone?"
Barrett laughed ferociously:
"Although it still feels unnatural and the feeling of weakness still lingers, it no longer affects normal actions."
After saying that, he also stood up and looked at Darren with an astonishing fighting spirit in his eyes.
With a broken arm, not only did he not feel depressed, the aura he exuded became even more wild and tough.
And after a few days of getting along with "inmates", Barrett gradually discovered that this navy, known as "scum", was very different from his temper in terms of work style, personality and habits.
The extreme desire and persistence to become stronger, the tenacious will to remain calm in desperate situations, the terrifying endurance of pain, and the paranoia and madness deep in the bones!
That guy Kaido is right. Compared to the navy's rules and regulations, this guy Darren is more like a lawless pirate!
The most important thing is that the Marine in front of him is crazy in his training and ruthless in fighting. He is the only person Barrett has ever seen in his life who can compare with him, or even surpass him.
For various reasons, Barrett unconsciously began to recognize Darren as his equal opponent.
Hearing this, Darren smiled with satisfaction.
"very good."
Although the Sea Tower Stone can block the abilities of Devil Fruit users and restrict their movements.
But the physical fitness of people cannot be generalized.
Depending on the physical quality of each ability user, they will be affected by the physical strength reduction effect of Hailou Stone in different ways.
Some people instantly become paralyzed just by touching the sea tower stone, while some people can still move like ordinary people wearing sea tower stone shackles.
This is the meaning of Hailoushi’s “resistance training”.
Darren and Barrett have already improved their physical fitness to superhuman levels and can be called monsters.
Coupled with the "acupuncture therapy" in the past few days, their physical strength has been further improved.
Even when faced with the suppression of high-purity Hailou Stone, they gradually began to gain some fighting power at this time.
Although the combat power may not be even close to what it was in its heyday, it is still better than lying weakly on the ground like a dead dog and being slaughtered by others.
"So... where's Armed Color Haki?"
Barrett slowly raised his hand and suddenly gave a cold shout.
"Armed!"
A touch of darkness visible to the naked eye quickly stained the palm of his hand, but it only lasted for less than a second before fading and disappearing.
He groaned, his body swayed, and his chapped lips turned pale.
Seeing this, Darren shook his head and said:
"The sea floor stone suppresses our physical strength, and any domineering drive requires a lot of physical strength to support it."
"Damn it!"
Barrett couldn't help gritting his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
Darren's eyes flashed deep in his eyes.
His condition is similar to that of Barrett. Although his physical strength has improved significantly during this period, there is still a long way to go before he can break free from the shackles of the sea tower stone with only physical strength and armed domineering energy.
In this sea, the only Devil Fruit user who can do this... I'm afraid Kaido is the only one.
Kaido was arrested by the navy many times and was sentenced to death 40 times due to his indestructible physique.
But no matter whether it is chopped with knives or axes, struck by thunder or fire, or soaked in wine with poison...it cannot hurt him at all, and the execution equipment will also be damaged during the execution, and the shackles will be broken off...
Therefore, Kaido is also called an immortal monster by the world.
Now it seems that Kaido's "indestructible" body was most likely forged after he was arrested by the World Government and served as a guinea pig in various cruel experiments in the hands of Bea Punk.
Thinking of this, Darren clenched his hands.
He looked down at his fists, which were covered in scabs, scars and blood, and an idea came to his mind.
——How far am I from Kaido's "indestructible body"?
"Hey, don't be dazed, let's get started."
At this time, Barrett's eager voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Darren's thoughts.
"There are still three days until the last chance, and we don't have much time left."
His eyes filled with fighting intent stared fixedly at the black-haired marine in front of him, his pupils gradually turning scarlet with violence and madness.
Darren smiled and dispersed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart.
"bring it on!"
The moment the words fell,
The two of them were like roaring beasts, dragging the sea tower stone shackles and suddenly colliding with each other!
…
at the same time.
The base camp of the Beast Pirates, on the edge of the desert island, on the coastline.
"Be careful, don't damage my experimental equipment!! Otherwise, I will kill you all!!"
Quinn, who was riding in a beast chariot, jumped off the chariot like a ball, biting his cigar and started shouting.
A dark pirate ship with the skull and crossbones flag of the Beast Pirates hanging was docked at a simple port. Many pirates wearing animal skins and horned helmets were carefully moving boxes off the deck. Heavy cargo.
"What is this box? Meat? Well, send it to me."
"Where's this box? Slaves? Male or female? The males are sent to the arsenal to work as coolies, and the females... well, leave a few for me."
"These are all experimental equipment, right? Send them all to the laboratory!"
"..."
Quinn chewed his cigar and pointed with his hands at the unloading site.
In less than half an hour, all the goods had been removed from the pirate ship.
Quinn boarded the chariot and galloped toward his laboratory with satisfaction, leaving a trail of smoke on the brown ground.
The nervous members of the Beast Pirates, who had been running around at sea for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their respective resting places, leaving only a few peripheral minions to stay at the port and take care of the ships.
And what no one discovered is that,
The stern of the pirate ship,
Circles of ripples slowly rippled on the surface of the wooden walls of the cabin, like ripples of ocean waves.
A young figure with oily hair and a high-end gentleman's suit "floated" out of the wall that turned into running water with an indifferent expression.
"Infiltration...successful."
