The Warrior of Love

Before Jiang Liu could figure it out, a hot current suddenly gushed out from his heart, rushing to his limbs and bones along with the flowing blood. After just a few breaths, it contracted into the heart with the heartbeat, and then gushed out even more fiercely and attacked his head.

"Well!"

Jiang Liu only felt his eyes getting hot and swollen almost to the point of pain. He couldn't help but reach out to cover them, as if they would explode if he didn't press them down.

But then two hands were no longer enough, because my ears, nose, mouth, and even my entire head started to heat up, and finally my skin was dyed red, and the invisible steam distorted the light and shadow around me...

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Liu felt his body suddenly lighten, the swelling subsided quickly, the heat gradually dissipated, and then he was filled with an intense hunger and thirst.

Without saying a word, Jiang Liu rushed to the storage room of the bar, picked out an oak barrel at random, opened it and drank from it. Neither rum nor wine could quench his thirst.

As the wine continued to pour, a large amount of sweat was discharged from the skin, and the room was immediately filled with a strange aroma of wine.

After finishing a whole bucket, Jiang Liu stopped and gasped for breath.

"Huh...what's going on...there's more than one person who eats a devil fruit in the anime, but I've never seen such a big reaction!"

At this moment, the image of a thick book appeared in front of Jiang Liu's eyes, the pages opened automatically, and messages were transmitted into his mind.

[Superhuman o Insight Fruit]

[Body transformation, completed the transplant of the drowning curse - failed, the divinity of the sea of ​​the Messenger of Waves is triggered, and it turns into a trial of God;

Trial of the Wave Messenger: Being soaked in sea water will cause you to lose your strength, unable to struggle and eventually drown. But if you can survive, the longer you are soaked, the stronger your resistance to the curse will be. When you exceed a certain limit, you can ignore the constraints of the devil's curse. 】

[The perception system has been strengthened, the acuity of the five senses has been greatly improved, the nerve reflex speed has been greatly increased, and the speed at which the brain processes intelligence information has been greatly improved.

Intuition is enhanced, even without relying on physical perception, it is possible to respond to crises in a timely manner, or even dodge in advance. 】

[Active ability: Insight into the burst of mental power, integrating the full range of perception systems, and entering a state of penetrating everything. However, the specific effect needs to be developed by the user.]

"Is it because of my physical constitution that I have experienced different changes?" Jiang Liu frowned and quietly sorted out the information pouring into his brain. It took him a while to relax.

In conclusion, the situation is relatively ideal. Although I still cannot swim now, as long as I keep exercising, I will be able to overcome it sooner or later.

The ability of the fruit is not just as simple as enhancing eyesight, but is very suitable for Jiang Liu's all-round perception enhancement.

The only thing he regretted was that the situation was urgent and he could only choose the superhuman fruit, and he didn't wait until the natural fruit...

After all, as someone who has watched "One Piece" very early, he does have a different expectation for the powerful natural system.

But Jiang Liu was not an ordinary person. The regret in his heart only lasted for a few seconds before he dispelled it.

Dreams are dreams, reality is reality. Now that things have developed to this point, there is nothing more to say. Just focus on developing this fruit.

Jiang Liu let out a long breath of hot air and looked around with fear. Only then did he realize that considerable changes seemed to have taken place in himself.

This change did not come from his appearance, but the world in his eyes became much "clearer". He could see objects clearly whether they were in the light or in the shadow, and even the most inconspicuous details would not be missed.

Even without using the observation Haki, the ability to capture the dynamics of things was already close to the effect when he was fully focused before.

If you concentrate, you may even have the illusion that "objects are suddenly magnified" and "time seems to stand still."

It is hard to imagine, if the Observation Haki is activated in this state, to what extent the perception field will be strengthened!

In addition, there have been great changes in both hearing and sense of smell, but Jiang Liu has no time to explore them carefully for the time being.

"it is good!"

Even someone as calm as Jiang Liu couldn't help but show joy. He couldn't wait to walk out of the storage room and look at the giant humanoid statue lying quietly on the ground.

“This is what’s next!”

Chapter 85: Mobile Giant Soldier

As long as you sit on the Gundam, you can fly into the sky and dominate the world of One Piece - this is just pure fantasy.

Not to mention that this thing is not a Gundam, it is suspected to be a heritage of ancient civilization, and its specific capabilities are still unclear.

Even if this machine really has Gundam-level firepower, it is good for fighting, but it would be awkward to use it against admirals and Four Emperors.

For those agile warriors, such a huge target is like a natural target, and it is difficult for the machine to keep up with its movements. No matter how powerful the force is, it will be the same if it can't hit the target.

Furthermore, there are compatibility issues between technology and superpowers. In a world like One Piece where the upper limit of individual strength is extremely exaggerated, what role can machines like the Gundam play? This is indeed a problem.

But... after all, these are all "radishes"!

The romance of men!

How could Jiang Liu be immune to this, not to mention that he had already experienced "Light Messenger" and had a special feeling for giant robots.

At this moment, Jiang Liu was inexplicably excited to see this beauty who was already lying down obediently, waiting for him to ride on her.

Then it was awkward.

"Mad, where is the cockpit door?"

Jiang Liu stood on the chest of the colossus, brows furrowed as he searched for the possible entrance. After about ten minutes, he finally gave up and concluded: the machine was completely sealed.

I don't know what technology was used to make it. It looks like it was cast in one piece, without even a handle or a switch. Jiang Liu felt quite confused as to where to start.

"Could it be that……"

Jiang Liu remembered something and his expression suddenly brightened.

He first looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that Luffy, Lulu and the others had not followed him and that there was no one else nearby, he took a deep breath, slowly drew out the Nichirin Sword, placed his index finger on the blade and lightly scratched it.

Tick!

Eye-catching blood fell on the body of the machine, leaving a bloody mark on the dark surface.

One second passed, three seconds passed...

"Hiss!" Jiang Liu covered his face in embarrassment. "I really thought too much. How could the plot of dripping blood to recognize the master happen here?"

It took him a while to calm down, and then he looked at the aircraft more carefully.

First of all, it is certain that this is definitely a giant robot and not a stone statue.

This means that this is a man-made product. Even if it is made with advanced technology, it must have been forged and assembled according to a certain structure. From this, it can be concluded that there must be some kind of "door", but Jiang Liu has not discovered it yet.

Even if it is a pure machine that does not require a driver, there must always be a loophole left for maintenance technicians!

"Think...think...since it is a machine, it can definitely be used by humans."

Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the machine, staring deeply at a certain point, his fingers habitually tapping the surface of the machine below him while thinking.

After a long time, the movement of the fingers suddenly stopped, and the crisp impact sound also stopped abruptly.

So that's it—a cold light flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes.

The next moment, Jiang Liu started hitting the machine again, but this time it was not just his knuckles, but his entire palm, and even added the armament domineering.

"Oh!"

A heavy and dull blow, like the sound of a morning bell, echoed. Jiang Liu listened quietly and closed his eyes.

Concentrate, concentrate... Abandon all distracting thoughts, empty your mind, and focus all your energy on perception.

Use touch and hearing to find the information you want from the slightest vibrations and the most inaudible sound waves.

Amplify the "self", detect the spirit beyond the body, take control of the flow of all things, and completely cover reality.

That is a realm, or a world that belongs to oneself.

The Observation Haki seemed to have a physical body, extending its tentacles into the narrowest corners.

The ability of the fruit of insight was activated subconsciously, and the already sharp perception was raised to an inhuman level.

The sound waves that are fed back are no longer limited to "listening", but form an "image" in the mind that is just like seeing it with your own eyes.

Amid the reverberating knocking sounds, there was a hint of discordant noise, which was the wave that penetrated into the inside of the body, constantly refracted in the cavity and then returned... Concentrate, concentrate your mind, and separate this almost imperceptible noise.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Liu gradually built the structure of this body in his brain.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and the sweat on his face began to fall.

"It's really not easy." Jiang Liu stood up and stretched his muscles, then came to the head of the machine and touched the lower jaw twice.

With a "click" sound, Jiang Liu's face lit up with joy after he confirmed that he had found the right place, and he continued to explore deeper with his hand.

"Ok!"

Standing up, Jiang Liu looked at the head that was almost integrated with the torso, with no visible "neck" at all. He frowned and drew out the Sun Blade.

"call……"

He slowly exhaled, and the Sun Blade suddenly turned into a red light and stabbed down, sticking close to the surface of the machine and penetrating into the extremely narrow gap between the head and the torso.

Then, a crisp metallic sound was heard, as if a trigger had been activated.

“Crack, crack, crack… bang!”

It was like a super-giant spring that suddenly stretched out after losing the force of suppression. No one knew what Jiang Liu's knife had cut off. All he saw was that the head and limbs of the machine had "stretched" a section each.

The clanging sounds of metal continued to ring out, interlocking with each other like a grand symphony.

If we use the human body as an analogy, it is like the joints of the limbs are forcibly pulled apart.

In just ten seconds, the machine under Jiang Liu's feet had undergone a huge change. The original "round" shape that was closer to the cartoon style had disappeared, leaving behind a more sturdy, majestic, knight-like steel giant soldier.

Now, even if you really say it's a Gundam, you can get away with it.

It was only then that Jiang Liu noticed that, if the black paint and rust were removed, the structure of the entire machine was extremely beautiful, perfectly combining cold edges and streamlined curves, highlighting a simple style unique to metal.

The head of the machine seemed to be covered with a mask, making it look like the evil ghost Rakshasa in folk legends.

It was much easier to find the entrance this time. Jiang Liu quickly opened the cockpit located on his chest and sat in without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

A mechanical buzzing sound was heard, and a warm current gushed out, dispersing the turbid air in the cabin, and then the cabin door closed automatically.

The magical thing is that even though it looks like an abandoned object, this aircraft still has a certain amount of energy reserves. A hazy and soft light emanates from under the armrests on both sides of the seats, illuminating the dim cockpit.

It is not as complicated as imagined. There are only two operating levers on the left and right that look like rifle butts, with very few buttons, and the so-called operating interface is simply just a huge round mirror.

[Matching object detected, start...start successfully! ]

Symbols and letters that Jiang Liu didn't recognize flashed across the mirror. Fortunately, "Universal Original Codex" was indeed a bug, and it could translate a language for Jiang Liu even if it was the first time he encountered it.

[Trial run, 231st time. Retrieving the mission log... The calculation time span... The original reference coordinates have expired, and cannot be tested, cannot be tested! The previous maintenance log... is more than 900 years old, and has no reference value. The self-discipline mode has not passed, and it has been switched to manual mode.]

[Welcome to use the prototype weapon No. 7, code name: Mobile Giant Soldier O Kronos]

Chapter 86: Straw Hat Gathering

After the system woke up, there was a flash of light in the cabin, and a naked AI girl ran out - this was of course impossible.

This primitive operating system obviously cannot support intelligent AI, and it is even more unrealistic for the cute and lovely character to be able to fall in love with the driver. Fortunately, Jiang Liu never expected to be treated like the protagonist of a light novel, so he was not disappointed. He just felt a little at a loss when faced with the simple operating console with almost no buttons.

To be honest, just a monitor, two controllers and a handful of buttons... if you don’t know, you might think it’s a new generation game console.

But how could such a huge organism be controlled freely relying only on these things?

[Detected vital signs, automatically matched data... Met basic requirements, passed physical fitness assessment. Met compatibility requirements, passed ability assessment. Searched, measured - Fruit of God: Insight into ability factor concentration test... passed! ]

Amid warning sounds, two thin metal rods like tuning forks slowly dropped from the top of the cabin and stopped on both sides of Jiang Liu's head. They did not make direct physical contact with him, but instead sensed him from a distance of five or six centimeters.

Although he was not clear about the specific principle, Jiang Liu inexplicably understood its effect, and his Observation Haki was involuntarily activated.

"Buzz!"

These two metal rods are just like antennas, which can actively capture strange fluctuations in the air and then convert them into specific data information.

However, what it captures are not ordinary radio waves, but the "thoughts (which in a sense can also be considered radio waves)" emitted by the human body, and these thoughts are actually a form of manifestation of Observation Haki.

It should be noted that Observation Haki was originally an ability to "perceive the outside world", but here it is done the other way around and becomes "allowing one's own existence to be perceived by the outside world."
