A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

To put it simply, Cao Gui's current control over the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is similar to that of Venom.

They have mastered the ability to control lightning, but can only use the inherent properties of lightning to cause damage, such as paralysis, high heat, and explosion.

Furthermore, it would be somewhat difficult for Cao Gui to increase his attack power, unless he were like Enel, who fought by relying solely on massive amounts of electricity.

Cao Gui could also do this; it's just a matter of discharging electricity, the only difference being the magnitude of the discharge. But doing it this way is too unskilled and a waste of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Simply put, Cao Gui's control over the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has no changes in form or nature.

Coincidentally, the outbreak of the riots provided Cao Gui with an idea: the idea of ​​transforming his body into various forms for combat was a very good one.

"That's strange, why isn't that guy moving?" Eddie asked curiously. "What's he doing?"

"I don't know," Venom said, shaking its head.

"He seems very interested in the ability of Riot. What's so interesting about that? Riot is trash. It doesn't even have a powerful host. It's rubbish."

“That’s not what you said just now.” Eddie rolled his eyes. This guy was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He only dared to say such things when the rioters were almost dead.

"What? You have a problem with that?" Venom glared at Eddie, looking very annoyed.

“No…no, I have no objection…” Eddie turned his head away, as the host, he didn’t want to argue with his symbiote.

"Heh, coward," Venom scoffed.

"Shut up, you... look closely, that person has changed again." Eddie was furious and was about to retort to Venom, but the lightning flashing in the distance made him swallow his words.

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly erupted, and arcs of electricity snaked across Cao Gui's body, while the riotous symbiote covering his body rapidly expanded like a balloon.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Gui's complete form became an enormous balloon.

Bang!

Before Eddie and Venom could react, Riot burst like a balloon, splattering grayish-white slime everywhere. The boardwalk, handrails, and seawater were littered with Riot's corpses.

It shattered into pieces.

“Holy shit!” Eddie screamed as a drop of riotous corpse splattered onto his face.

"Ha! Riots are dead!" Venom roared, his expression one of extreme excitement: "Now, Earth is mine, hahaha!"

"Hey, you idiot, what the hell are you talking about?" Eddie snapped. "Are you sure you can beat that guy?"

"Just don't mess with him, right?" Venom said nonchalantly.

"I don't know why the riots got involved with him, but as long as we stay away from it and keep our distance, won't we be fine?"

"Would he specifically target me? Surely a powerhouse of that level wouldn't be so bored?"

"!!!"

Venom's words reminded Eddie of a bad fact: the information about the man in front of him and his girlfriend... seemed to have been leaked by him.

Oops!

Big trouble!

"Countdown complete, initiate ignition!"

Just then, the broadcast suddenly came on, interrupting Eddie's thoughts.

With a loud bang, a ball of flame rose from the bottom of the rocket at the end of the iron bridge. Drake's preset ignition program had started, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it.

Just then, a blue and white light suddenly appeared.

With a clang, it pierced through the entire massive rocket.

It was a blue-white light blade about the size of four fingers, with tiny arcs of electricity flickering on it. At the end of the light blade, Cao Gui held a ball of lightning, from which the blue-white light blade extended.

Chidori Sharp Spear!

One of the skills given by Sass, Cao Gui successfully copied after studying the riot.

With a gentle grip, the blue-white light blade suddenly expanded, and with a clang, four light blades pierced out from the rocket at its end.

With a gentle spin, the enormous rocket was instantly cut into several pieces.

The rocket slowly died down and fell into the sea, the light blade flashing twice before disappearing.

Hey~

[Host eliminates the alien symbiote rebellion and prevents its plan to conquer Earth, completing a "Protect the Land and Protect the People" mission. Reward: 2 merit points and 1 experience points.]

"Venom, let's get out of here quickly," Eddie whispered from the other side.

"why?"

"I have it in my head."

"So mysterious... Damn it, what the hell have you done!" Venom exclaimed in surprise.

"Stop howling, run!" Eddie shouted. "I just remembered this myself."

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~

Just then, the sound of electric arcs rang out again. On the iron bridge, lightning flashed on Cao Gui's body, and a giant silver wolf suddenly leaped out from the lightning, its wolf eyes emitting a faint yellow light.

The wolf tossed its head, looking in the direction of Venom and Eddie.

“Oh, shit, he seems to have seen us…” Eddie looked dazed.

"Run...run!"

Crack!

In a flash, a ferocious wolf head suddenly magnified in Eddie and Venom's eyes, its gaping maw snapping down to bite Eddie's head.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap shook the ground; the enormous ball of lightning expanded and grew larger, countless bolts of electricity flashing. Moments later, with a deafening roar, a notification sounded in Cao Gui's mind:

Hey~

[The host eliminates the symbiote Venom, completing one "Eliminate Evil" mission. Reward: 1 Merit Points, 5 Experience Points.]

"All done, call it a day!"

Chapter 293 News from S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the early morning, the bright sunlight streamed in through the window, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves through the treetops, and a few small birds hopped about on the branches, chirping incessantly.

"Hmm..." Inside the room, Gwen slowly opened her eyes, feeling parched. She had lost too much water last night and was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, and had slept until now.

But just as she was about to get up, she found an arm resting on her chest. Following the arm, she saw Cao Gui's face lying on the pillow. Gwen's face darkened. This guy, all he knows is how to torment people.

He gently placed Cao Gui's arm in a safe position and adjusted his sleeping posture before going out into the living room and starting to chug water.

However, after being touched by Gwen, Cao Gui quickly woke up, scratched his head in confusion, and then realized that he had changed rooms. He doesn't actually have a problem sleeping in a different bed, but he does have a problem sleeping in a different bed than Gwen and Beth.

After a quick wash, Cao Gui lay down on Gwen's lap. Coming to Los Angeles was Gwen's spur-of-the-moment decision, but to his surprise, he encountered Venom and other symbiotes on Earth, which opened up a new direction for developing Devil Fruit abilities.

It's fair to say that the gains were considerable, with tens of thousands more in experience and merits, and a significant increase in strength. But now, it's time to return to New York.

Gwen rolled her eyes: "Damn, get up quickly, Kem is coming over in a bit."

"What's she doing here?" Cao Gui asked, displeased. "Such nice weather, why isn't she spending time with her boyfriend? Why is she coming to see her best friend? Is she out of her mind?"

"You forgot?" Gwen said, typing on her computer without looking up.

“Yesterday her boyfriend was too tired, so some of the things he bought while shopping are still here with us. She’s coming to pick them up.”

"Oh...is that so?" Cao Gui recalled for a moment, and it seemed that way. At that time, he was extremely tired following these two girls and just hoped that it would end soon. He didn't have time to pay attention to these things.

"Yes."

"Her boyfriend is so useless," Cao Gui complained.

“That’s an ordinary person, not a physical monster like you!” Gwen rolled her eyes, ruffled Cao Gui’s hair, and said irritably.

"Gwen," Cao Gui called out.

"What's wrong?" Gwen asked, puzzled.

"You're pressing down on me." Cao Gui chuckled, looking quite frivolous, as he was currently enjoying the brainwaves.

"Huh? It wasn't you pressing down on me... Oh, I know, don't laugh so ugly." Gwen said irritably, straightening her slender waist as she spoke, interrupting Cao Gui's silly chuckle.

"Damn it, stop this, come back quickly..."

Ding dong ding dong~

Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting the two playfully arguing.

"Get up, Kem's here, I need to open the door," Gwen said irritably, pushing Cao Gui's head away.

A moment later, Gwen led Kem in, but... Kem looked somewhat absent-minded, with anxiety and unease on his face, as if he had suffered a major blow.

"Kem, what's wrong?" Gwen asked, wondering if something was wrong with their relationship.

"I'm fine, it's just... I'm just in a bad mood." Kem forced a smile.

"That's good." Gwen took out the things she bought yesterday and smiled, "There's a lot of stuff, let me give it to you."

“I… okay, thank you Gwen.”

"Wait a minute, I'm going to change my clothes." Gwen pulled Kem to sit down and turned to go back to her room.

Cao Gui greeted Kem and continued to lie there like a salted fish. Kem didn't seem very interested, so Cao Gui didn't say much to her.

Soon, Gwen came out of the room, and the two left together.

Cao Gui rolled his eyes, got up from the sofa to change his clothes, and then activated the fruit to follow them.

Don't get me wrong, Cao Gui isn't interested in gossip among girls, but he is interested in Gwen. Cao Gui is very curious about how Gwen will respond, so that he, Cao Gui, can learn about her habits from her way of doing things, and that way he can win Gwen over.

What? You've already caught up with him?

That's alright, we can just go through it again. In short, Cao Gui has absolutely no interest in gossip.

In a coffee shop on the street, Gwen and Kim sat facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

“Kem, you can tell me what’s wrong, maybe I can help you.” Gwen stirred her coffee, completely ruining the delicate latte art.
