Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

Chen Xi didn't care about what happened on the boat and left it all to Kawakami Tomie. He just focused on practicing his skills. It must be said that Pica was a really good test subject.

Pica could endure the increasing pain, allowing Chen Xi to pierce his body with needles more times until his body was covered with bruises.

Pica could no longer make a sound when he was dying. At this moment, he was not afraid of death. Instead, death was a relief for him. He longed for death.

But Chen Xi couldn't bear to see the other person die, so he used healing magic on Pica and saved him.

Pica's pupils began to tremble, and the fear in his heart was infinitely magnified. What was more terrifying than death was that he could not die, but had to continue to suffer inhuman torture.

"Kill me! I beg you, kill me!" Pica banged his head against the deck, but he had no strength left and couldn't even lift his head high, so how could he get hurt?

The people on the Black Pearl all looked at him with sympathy, but there was nothing they could do to help him. It was because this guy was so in line with the captain's hobbies. He could only consider himself unlucky.

Chen Xi's scarlet poison needle was really maxed out on Pica. In the end, Pica became completely stupid. It didn't matter, as long as the person was alive.

The maximum level reward for the Scarlet Poison Needle is the best reward Chen Xi has ever received, because it involves the power of rules, called "instant death judgment".

As the name suggests, as long as the first 14 needles of the scarlet poison needle hit the target perfectly, the 15th needle can instantly take the opponent's life.

But it is ineffective against immortal beings, such as Shadow Guards. To be more precise, all attacks have no effect on Shadow Guards.

Chen Xi was also curious about how to eliminate the existence of Shadow Guard.

The tip given by the golden finger is to seal the Shadow Guard in a room that he cannot destroy but cannot leave, and shine light on him from all angles. After 24 hours, the Shadow Guard will completely disappear.

Chen Xi felt relieved. Who would set up such a place just to deal with the shadow guards?

The Shadow Guards are not afraid of the scarlet poison needles, but anyone with life signs is afraid of them. Even someone as strong as Garp and Kaido cannot withstand the instant death judgment of the 15th needle.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there are no mistakes in the first 14 needles. It is not okay to insert them crookedly. The vital points must be hit accurately.

Kawakami Tomie once asked, "Are you sure?"

Chen Xi shook his head. "It's difficult. Maybe the first few shots will work, but later on, the opponent will only become more and more defensive. I'm not Milo, and my attacks can't reach the speed of light."

"Then this trick is useless."

"Not necessarily. It depends on the timing and the target's mentality. What if you meet a careless idiot?"

"for example?"

"Luffy?" Chen Xi nodded affirmatively: "There are not many people in this world who are more stupid than him."

"What if we really encounter an enemy that cannot be killed?"

Chen Xi smiled heartily and said indifferently: "Then don't kill him, just send him away. Don't forget, I still have the ability of 'Tian Zhi Yu Zhong'."

Tomie Kawakami was completely relieved. Her boss was getting stronger and stronger. The more abilities he mastered, the more targeted methods he could use when facing different types of enemies.

Pica died after the 15th injection, and his body was corroded by the "deadly poison" into an indescribable pile and thrown on the Drum Island.

They had already arrived at Magnetic Drum Island and found a herd of reindeer, but they did not find the Human-Human Fruit. Instead, they saw Chopper, who was not welcomed.

At this time, Chopper still looked like a normal reindeer, and it was too obvious that Blue Nose, Chen Xi and others saw Chopper being expelled from the herd when they arrived.

Poor Chopper was walking alone on the snow. He was small and thin, but since he had not eaten the devil fruit, he still looked like a normal reindeer.

Chen Xi did not approach Chopper rashly, for fear of ruining his opportunity. He only needed to send someone to follow him quietly, and no one was more suitable than the Shadow Guard.

The shadow guard had been following Chopper secretly, while Chen Xi was practicing his skills on the boat. When the scarlet poison needle reached the maximum level, Chopper finally discovered the Human-Human Fruit.

Double happiness belongs to yes.

The unsportsmanlike shadow guard appeared directly and snatched away Chopper's opportunity. The latter blinked his eyes and had no idea what was happening.

Without the Human-Human Fruit, Chopper is just an ordinary reindeer, without any intelligence.

As per Chen Xi's request, the Shadow Guard brought the Human-Human Fruit and Chopper back to the Black Pearl. Chopper's instinct as a reindeer was still there. He knew that these humans were dangerous, so he was very timid and did not dare to resist.

Chen Xi used the Devil Fruit Optimization Card to remove the cursed power of the Human-Human Fruit, and threw it to the Shadow Guard, asking him to go back to the room to devour it.

Afterwards, Chen Xi turned his attention to Chopper, the most popular character. It was a pity that the lovable Chopper was gone because of him. He also liked Chopper very much.

Kawakami Tomie noticed Chen Xi's mood, walked over and said, "Why don't you keep it as a pet?"

"You have to raise one, but a pet is different from Chopper."

"It's already like this, so don't worry about it. Or... improve its intelligence. I can't say it's better than eating a devil fruit, but at least it's smarter than it is now."

Kawakami Tomie's words reminded Chen Xi that there were similar items in the system mall, which were used to improve the intelligence of pets. After eating them, the pets could have the same IQ as a child.

Of course, there are better ones, but they involve the cultivation of immortals and are extremely expensive. Chen Xi can't afford them, and doesn't want to buy them. He always feels that it is not worth spending so much for Chopper.

"Then just keep it as a pet and name it Chopper."

"Yeah." Kawakami Tomie said with a smile, "I'll take good care of it."

Chopper the reindeer stared at the two people blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Soon, the shadow guard appeared again. Unlike before, this time he did not wear a mask, but revealed his face. It was so ordinary that he would not be noticeable in the crowd.

Not only that, the shadow guards can also speak and look no different from normal humans.

Chen Xi pulled the shadow guard aside and asked him about the changes that took place after he ate the devil fruit. Besides becoming a human, did he have any other abilities?

The shadow guard shook his head and said, "No, I just turned into a human. I can switch between the two states now."

"How long does it take?"

"About 10 minutes."

"Is there anything wrong with becoming a human?"

"Except for the loss of immortality, everything else is no different from a normal person."

"Then you need to change your fighting style in the future. Don't make a habit of fighting in shadow form. You will die miserably after you turn into a human."

The shadow guard nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement. He was also afraid of this. He said, "I can learn supernatural powers now. Which one do you want to learn?"

"Learn them all. You already know the Six Marine Styles. Try to practice Life Return. You should need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate now, right?"

The shadow guard nodded.

"Then there's the two-color Haki and the Nanto Holy Fist. You're starting from the beginning and your Qi is very limited. Don't be anxious. You can catch up slowly."

"I see."

"You can learn martial arts skills after you go to the relevant world. They are useless in this world."

"Captain, regarding martial arts skills, I don't think what you guys have learned is compatible with me." Shadow Guard said, "I seem to be more suitable for the big and bold ones. Mingyu Gong, a martial art with obvious attributes, is not suitable for me."

Chen Xi was scratching his head after hearing this. He didn't know anything else except Mingyu Gong. He didn't even take a look at the Nine Yin Scriptures because he couldn't learn it and also to avoid suspicion.

"Then let's talk about it later. Let's see what kind of martial arts world we will travel to next time. If we come across one that suits you, it will still be in time to learn it."

"Okay, then I'll go practice?"

"Go ahead. Your four-dimensional attributes are high enough. It won't take long for you to master those extraordinary skills. If you have any questions, just ask Tomie."

"Ah."

The shadow guard left, and Chen Xi used the golden finger to check. Fortunately, his loyalty was not affected by becoming a human. Like Kawakami Tomie, he was absolutely loyal to him.

It can only be said that with the accumulation of so many worlds, coupled with the super high four-dimensional attributes, the Shadow Guard has mastered those extraordinary skills in just one day, and is also changing his own fighting style.

The previous fearless and reckless style needs to change.

He still needs some time to adapt to life after becoming a human, for example, he often forgets to eat.

Robin was so shocked that she started to doubt her life. She hadn't even mastered the dual-color domineering power yet, while others only spent one day. Was the gap really that big?

The set goal was completed, and the shadow guard was transformed into a human. Chen Xi didn't know what to do next. Should he find some natural fruit for Kawakami Tomie?

Speaking of which...has the Thunder Fruit appeared?

Chapter 207: Holy Purification

Chen Xi remembered the Thunder Fruit on Sky Island, but Kawakami Tomie didn't want to eat it. In her words, the abilities were duplicated and unnecessary.

"Captain, the purpose of my existence is to help you. You have already mastered the power of thunder and lightning. What can I do with one more person? It won't be very useful. It's better to choose an ability that you don't have to make up for it."

In this case, lightning and ice abilities can be ruled out.

Or maybe I should try the Flame-Flame Fruit, but I don’t know if I can find it.

Even if Kawakami Tomie didn't want to eat it, it would be good if she could get the Thunder Fruit. For this reason, Chen Xi made a special trip to Sky Island.

For the sake of soul points, Chen Xi cleared out the Demon Valley Town by himself. He didn't encounter any powerful pirates here, they were all cannon fodder. He didn't need any ocean currents to reach the sky island, he could just fly up directly.

I don’t know if it’s because the Thunder Fruit hasn’t been refreshed yet, but Chen Xi hasn’t found it after searching for a long time. If he wants to obtain the Thunder Fruit, perhaps he can only follow Enel in the same way he followed Chopper.

Not sure when it will refresh, Chen Xi is not willing to waste his time on a useless fruit. Forget it, just consider it as fate.

If he has that much time, he might as well go out to sea and destroy the pirates. Those are all soul points.

Chen Xi had no interest in Enel, spaceships, gold, or the like, nor did he want to read any historical texts. When he didn't find the Thunder Fruit, he turned around and left without any reluctance.

Back on the Black Pearl, the others were quite regretful. That was a nature-type fruit. It was a rare clue, but they couldn't find it. What a pity.

"It's just a devil fruit. If you don't have it, then you don't have it. Come on, let's continue on our journey."

"Where?"

"Since we have nothing to do anyway, let's go to the East China Sea and take a look around. Just in case we encounter the Flame-Flame Fruit."

"Okay, let's go to the East China Sea."

Without a main quest, Chen Xi's actions are extremely arbitrary. He does whatever he wants. He is also waiting for all his subordinates to grow up, so that he can be sure to deal with the Three Emperors Pirate Group.

He didn't care about justice or anything like that, but he wanted the soul points that the Three Emperors Pirates could provide.

After fighting with Shanks, Chen Xi almost knew the strength of the Three Emperors. If it was a one-on-one fight, he had a great chance of winning, but he couldn't stand the large number of people on the other side. If it was a group fight, he would still need help.

Anyway, it will be many years before Luffy sets out to sea, so there is enough time. At worst, he can start recruiting some future strong men now, train them well, and then directly raid the Three Emperors, no, the Four Emperors pirate group in the future.

Now the ones he has high hopes for are Robin and the three Boa sisters. Needless to say, "Five Animal Health-Preserving Technique" is a required skill and they all have to be practiced. The next ones are Haki and the Six Styles of the Navy, and finally the fruit ability.

It's okay for parahuman-type fruits, but he really doesn't know how to develop animal-type fruits, so he can only let the second and third brothers research it on their own.

Chen Xi himself was also studying his Angel Fruit. The mythical beast species was even more difficult to say. There were many legends involved in the development of their abilities, and incompatible abilities could not be developed at all.

If you want to develop the Angel Fruit, the first thing you need to do is to understand what kind of existence an angel is in Chen Xi's understanding.

First, sacred, second, ruthless.

This is Chen Xi's understanding of angels. Angels are also selfish beings. When there are benefits, angels will tolerate all the shortcomings of humans and give angelic care. At this moment, angels are sacred, but when interests conflict, angels are ruthless. Wasn't it the angels who blew the trumpet of destruction in the Book of Revelation? God's command is true, but angels don't seem to care about humans.

Based on this understanding, Chen Xi focused on the holy system when developing the Angel Fruit. The effect was very obvious. The holy aura once again strengthened his healing skills.

It can be regarded as a combination of supernatural skills and devil fruit abilities. The original healing technique can treat external injuries, and the full-level reward can detoxify. Now it has been further enhanced and can even regenerate severed limbs.

Even if a person's head was chopped off, as long as he was not completely dead and the head and neck were connected, Chen Xi could save him by performing enhanced healing techniques.

Or people who have lost limbs or certain organs will gradually regrow new corresponding parts under the effect of enhanced healing techniques, but this kind of consumption is relatively large.

After the enhanced healing technique, Chen Xi comprehended a new ability, the Holy Purification Technique. He judged that it might be related to the 'Devil Fruit Optimization Card', which is how he gained this ability.

The biggest function of the optimization card is to remove the curse ability in the devil fruit. The same is true for the holy purification technique that Chen Xi obtained. Its only function is to remove various debuffs.

The effect of the Angel Fruit itself can make him immune to those debuffs, but it is ineffective for other people. Now, it can be effective for anyone. It doesn't matter if he is not immune, he can just remove it after being hit.

Among various debuffs, the one that Holy Purification can best restrain is the power of curse, so Chen Xi thought it was related to the optimization card.

After obtaining the Holy Purification Technique, this ability became connected to Chen Xi's psychic eyes. When he opened his psychic eyes, he could see if others had debuffs, the most obvious of which was the power of curse.

From Chen Xi's perspective, Robin and the three Boa sisters all have cursed power in their bodies. There is no doubt that this is the curse brought about by eating the devil fruit.

Hancock was lucky enough to become the first test subject, and she volunteered.

Chen Xi placed her hands on Hancock and activated the Holy Purification Technique. A strong golden light enveloped her, and Hancock inside let out a sound of extreme comfort.

Chen Xi: (?_?)

My goodness, if other people weren’t watching, I really wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly. Do you really need to do that?

Hancock's mind went blank, and she was completely immersed in the feeling brought by the golden light, like a reef hit by waves, feeling wave after wave of comfort.

Ten minutes later, with Hancock shaking violently and her body convulsing, the holy purification spell had come to an end. If it continued, the girl might have a convulsion.

Chen Xi opened his psychic eyes and took a look. Very good, at least one tenth of the curse power in Hancock's body had been eliminated. If he did this nine more times, he should be able to completely purify the curse brought by the devil fruit.

Hancock had already fainted, with some aftereffect still on her face, which made others look at her sideways.

Captain, is this holy purification of yours authentic?

Robin and her two snake sisters have already made up their minds that if the Holy Purification Technique is really effective, then they must not be watched by anyone while being purified, otherwise they will die.
