Chapter 101

After killing that giant, I had a simple idea. Instead of the usual murder, release those I plan to kill. It was reasonable, because if they are fruity, then they use the powers of their fruit to defeat me and then I don't have to puzzle about what powers they had. After all, if I just killed them and took the power, I would get an undefined devil fruit, and these are unnecessary problems ...

When the power of the fruit was transferred to the apple, it immediately changed and took the form of a red banana, with the usual green stem. Well, it's probably a fruit that allows you to control snakes and grow them from your body. Now it is clear why this pirate is called "Snakemouth".

Having finished with this, I headed on ...

Mirani's "Black Trail" was a girl. Although, she didn't look much like her. A masculine giantess with a rather aggressive behavior. I finished her off quite easily. There was no fruit, but the reward was not bad, as much as three hundred and eighty-eight million. For her, the system gave me one development point and eighty growth points. This happens quite rarely, you can say I was lucky.

Next in line was a guy with long arms, probably from the long-armed tribe I heard about. He was very aggressive, he didn't even talk to me, but immediately rushed. I freed him, but he did not show the fruit, and when I killed him, I realized that there was simply nothing to show. The awards for his head were also quite good - three hundred and ten million. They gave me eight growth points for him.

After killing a few more people with similar auras, I realized that it was worth raising the bar. Therefore, the guys went on more serious.

After killing three more not weak guys, I closed the area from four hundred to five hundred million, these were:

Red Jack - 420,000,000. Reward: 100 growth points, 1 development point.

"Silkworm" Alestin Muryev - 476,000,000. Reward: 70 growth points.

Zumbis the Beautiful - 412,000,000. Reward: 6 growth points.

When I was done with them, I also killed a few additional pirates to make sure I didn't miss anything. Well, then, I went to stronger personalities ...

***

A one-armed gray-haired old man with a bunch of scars on his body sat quietly in his cell and whistled a funny melody. He stood out quite in this part of the floor, as his aura was perhaps the most remarkable. The rest of the strongmen were either in the north or in the south wing, and there, apparently, the most dangerous are kept. There were many auras in this little jug like this old man, but only two that were strong enough to even surprise me. Both were on opposite sides from each other, I left them for dessert. I think their awards will surprise me noticeably.

I went up to the gray-haired old man and asked:

- I hope you know the conditions?

The old man chuckled:

- Who does not know them, you clearly explained them guy. But you can kill me right away, I'm not your enemy. And I doubt that at least someone here will stop you, even if you free them. There has been no one here for twenty years with such force.

- You won't even try to fight? - I asked in surprise.

The old man shook his head.

- There is no need, I've been here for more than twenty years, it's too late to fight.

- Okay ... - I waved my hand and cut his handcuffs together with the bars. Then he smiled and said:

- You can leave, with your strength it is quite possible.

- Um, are you letting me go? The old man asked suspiciously.

- Yes, I don't want to kill you.

Hmm, it looks like I'm too sentimental. Those who were shaking and begging were mercilessly killed by me, and I wanted to let him go. He was not like the others, I just wanted to help him. Maybe this is stupid, but with such a strength as he has, there are still many of them, so I don't lose anything.

Starkey stepped out of the cell and bowed.

- Thank you, young man, to admit I did not expect such a gift in my old age, my name is Bartholomew Agaston. One of those who annoyed the World Government too much, that's why I'm here. May I know your name?

- I'm James D. More.

Bartholomew nodded:

- "D" means, now it is clear, usually people with the initial "D" cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, I am not surprised by your stay here. Then he sighed and said:

- Okay, I will not detain you, the sentinels will probably not just leave you, you should hurry up. As I understand it, you are killing strong people, there are a couple of pirates over there and there ... - The old man pointed to several distant cells and said: - These are the twins Agusti, Morco and Borko. They have been here for a long time, their strength is almost like mine, we once fought. If you need to kill someone, then I advise them first of all, they are also those butchers.

I bowed back to the old man and said:

- Thank you, maybe we'll see you again.

- Necessarily, if the road brings you into the Revolutionary Army, then it will not be difficult to find me, good luck guy. - The old man waved to me and quickly went to the fifth floor.

So Revolutionary, it's not surprising that he didn't make me feel bad. I hope it was not in vain that I freed him, to sit for twenty whole years, eh ...

I went to the people indicated by the old man, they were not far from each other and their auras were very similar.

When I approached the first one, I was slightly surprised. His appearance was very unusual. He was a short man with three eyes. Two were in the same place as ordinary people, and the third was on the forehead.

- Wow, three-eyed, this is a find. - With a grin, I said, walking closer to the cage.

The three-eyed man looked at me and growled:

- Grr, bastard, what do you want? Do you want to kill me too?

I nodded.

- Right, are you ready?

He looked at me hatefully and snorted:

- Go to hell, if you want to kill, then kill.

I grunted and cut open his handcuffs, then punched him with my fist.

* Bach * * Bach * * Bach *

Several blows and the three-eyed one got angry and rushed at me. At that moment, his body began to change. The head became like a lion's, and a long tail with a sharp sting at the end grew from the lower back. His body began to become covered with scales, and claws came out of his fingers, and that's when I waved my hand ...

* Svshch *

Blood splattered on the wall and the three-eyed head fell from its shoulders. Although he was almost transformed, his power was not a threat to me at all. I quickly covered him with the power of darkness and began to take the fruit. To me, his form slightly reminded Manticore, perhaps this is some kind of mythical zoan, a good acquisition ...
