Pirate: I can copy your ability

Ji Meng's physical defense was beyond everyone's expectations, and the blows from Lu Gui and the others failed to leave any trace on him.

Although this move was just a test, and Lu Gui didn't use all his strength, he still had [-]% of his strength.

And the [-]% of the power now is already the full strength before the transformation.

This gave Lu Gui a headache. If he couldn't hurt the opponent, the rest of the battle would be in vain.

When he heard Ji Meng say that he was going to attack, he couldn't help but concentrate, and his arms were covered with domineering aura, fully prepared for defense.

Mark and Joe were equally prepared. One took the red sugar beans, and the other gathered a huge shield in front of him.

Ji Meng seemed to have untied some kind of restraint on his body at this moment. He smiled crazily, swung his thick, spiked tail behind him, jumped up and pounced directly on him.

With such a huge size, even if other attack methods are not used, just smashing it down like this is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Ji Meng was surrounded by strong winds during his actions. Beilu and Weiwei were unable to withstand them, but were blocked by Xiao Wu and Xiao Meng in time.

For Mark and Joe, the opponents in front of them were beyond their endurance.

Ji Meng's dragon tail hit the two of them first, the shield shattered instantly, and Mark and the others were knocked away.

Lu Gui used offense instead of defense, and at the same time activated the force-relieving effect of his space ability, which reduced the force of the strike by half, but he was still shaken more than ten meters away. Fortunately, he was not injured.

Mark and Qiao stood up again, wiped the blood from their faces, and rushed to Lu Gui's side.

"His defense is too strong. If we can't find a weak point, we have no chance of winning.

Joe and Mark, don't face the enemy head-on. Use your speed to find out where the opponent has weaknesses.

I'm here to attract his firepower. I hope this formation won't last long, otherwise I'll be in trouble. "

After listening to Lu Gui's words, Mark and the two nodded. They also understood that their attack power was not as good as Lu Gui's, so it would be more effective to start from other aspects.

"Jiejie, the three of you are very good, especially you, Lu Gui, who can actually remove the power of this god's attack.

You don't have to whisper there. Even though we are far away, I can hear what you are saying.

Jie Jie Jie Jie, it is impossible for them to find out my weaknesses.In addition, the effectiveness of the formation does have a time limit, but I also have a way to replenish energy.

Just give up on this idea and die obediently, and I can save you all from the pain! "

Ji Meng was confident that these words were true, and they also had a psychological effect on Lu Gui and others.

He didn't remember how strong he was before, otherwise he wouldn't even bother to say what he said now.

He is just a remnant soul, which can even be said to be a new life. He has never had the glory in the past, so he does not have the pride that the most powerful person has when facing an ant.

After saying the blow, he raised his palms and then launched an attack on Lu Gui.

With a palm strike, Lu Gui immediately dodged away. His pupil technique was already activated when he started, and the clover pattern was spinning crazily.

Observing Ji Meng's movements, he was also looking for the weak spots in his dragon scales.

The weakness has not yet been discovered, but the energy flow of the Devil Fruit is seen in the opponent's body.

Dots of light spread all over the body, providing Ji Meng with powerful energy.

"This seems to be related to the previous Star Formation."

Lu Gui thought to himself and began to try to copy this ability. Maybe it was the key to breaking the situation.

"Your eyes are very interesting, giving me a dangerous feeling. What kind of ability is this?"

Under the observation of his pupil skills, Ji Meng felt like he had been seen through. His heart tightened and he stretched out his sharp dragon claws without hesitation and grabbed Lu Gui's eyes.

"I don't have any special abilities, I just look good."

Lu Gui smiled and did not tell the truth. He continued to fight with Ji Meng, maintaining a deadlock for the time being.

"Hmph! You cunning boy, since you don't know what to do and you just admit defeat and die, then I will tear you apart with my own hands in a moment, and then tear apart your companions."

Ji Meng snorted coldly, and blew out two streams of hot air from his nostrils. The scales on his body trembled, and the color changed from the green glow before to a bright red.

At the same time, there was a trace of black energy coming out of his body, like a volcano about to erupt at any time, full of momentum.

But in the face of this, Lu Gui did not feel the scorching heat of the volcano. Instead, he felt the bone-chilling cold from the black air.

It is as if one is suddenly placed in a dark hell, surrounded by evil ghosts filled with resentment.

Instinctively, a roar of thunder sounded from Lu Gui's body, and blue arcs of electricity swam around him, instantly dispelling the cold air just now.

Ji Meng was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect Lu Gui to have so many abilities.

But it was just an accident and he didn't take it to heart. What he wanted to do now was to destroy the other person's green eyes first.

The dragon's claw struck out like lightning. Lu Gui quickly leaned back to avoid it, and then kicked the claw away.

The ability to copy is still going on. Although it can be copied this time, it is much more difficult than before.

It might be because the devil fruit Ji Meng took was of a high level, or it might be because of the formation in his body that slowed down the process.

So Lu Gui had to fight Ji Meng for a long time, which made him feel very strenuous.

He felt that the opponent had surpassed the general's combat power at this moment. If he compared him with Kizaru, apart from speed, he could beat Kizaru completely.

Lu Gui's current strength was at the level of an ordinary general. He really couldn't hold on for long against an opponent like Ji Meng.

In just a short period of time, Lu Gui had been knocked away three times. Even with the help of offloading force, he could not resist the strengthened Ji Meng again.

In order to relieve the pressure on Lu Gui, Mark and Qiao, who failed to find any flaws in Ji Meng, launched another attack, but the results were predictable.

Joe's hammer broke and he was beaten unconscious; while Mark's transformation was directly beaten to the point where he could no longer maintain his fighting ability and lost his combat effectiveness.

Annie used the cloud rope to pull the two of them back to her side, and fed them healing jelly beans, which temporarily suppressed their injuries.

But the situation at Lu Gui's place was precarious and they couldn't help. Beilu and Laiwei had tears gathering in their eyes and gritted their teeth to prevent themselves from crying.

They were afraid that this would distract Lu Gui and cause him to suffer a more serious blow.

Ji Meng's attack movements were very wild. He didn't need any defense at all. Lu Gui couldn't break the dragon scales on his body at all.

Not to mention the blessing of the formation above, the ability of the Star Fruit alone made his body indestructible.

In addition to stimulating the power of the stars, this fruit can be used and absorbed to transform the body and slowly become a superman.

The body that Ji Meng is currently living in has been transformed by him over the years into the image that often appears in his mind.

Another point is that it can increase the user's defense, and its hardness is much stronger than diamond.

So it was too difficult for Lu Gui to hurt him.

The only way to get the fruit's ability is through copying, and then try to block the operation of the Star Formation and defeat this enemy.

Therefore, even though Lu Gui was beaten and retreated, he still persisted, constantly attacking and entangled, waiting for the moment when his ability could be successfully copied.

……

Time passed, and while Lu Gui was working hard to defeat Ji Meng, another period of time passed on the outside sea.

The Straw Hat Pirates also encountered difficulties at this time. Robin was eventually captured by the people of Judiciary Island. Together with the perverted Franky, they calmly left the Capital of Seven Waters under the eyes of Luffy and the others.

This also made Luffy and the others realize for the first time their own lack of strength.

Even with Xiao Xuan's help, it only makes Nami and the others safer, but cannot prevent things from happening.

Unwilling to fail and unable to tolerate the capture of their partners, the Straw Hats took the sea train, gathered their strength, and pursued them towards Judiciary Island.

……

On the other side, on the Grand Route Banaro Island, the battle between Ace and Blackbeard ended.

Seeing Ace being swallowed by the darkness, with only his head outside, Blackbeard extinguished the flames on his beard and let out a long breath.

"Thief hahahahahaha, Ace, I didn't expect that your strength has improved a lot. If you weren't too confident in yourself and insisted on catching me, you could have escaped."

"Tiqi, your strength really surprised me. Although someone has reminded me twice and three times that you are not easy, and I was prepared in my heart, after the actual fight, I still underestimated you.

This disgusting darkness is the power you want to gain even after killing your family and companions? "

There was still a lot of blood on Ace's face. Even though he was caught, he showed no fear and questioned Blackbeard with eyes like knives.

"What a fascinating ability, how can you say it's disgusting? Ace, you know nothing about power!

Also, I'm curious, who will remind you from time to time that I am not a simple person.

I think my disguise was very successful, but even your father, Whitebeard, didn't find any flaws. "

"Haha, I have no obligation to answer your questions. Since my action failed, then you can kill me."

Ace grinned.

"No, no, no, how can I be willing to kill you? I'm tired of being a pirate. Do you think you can switch from the navy to the Shichibukai?

Ah, thief hahahaha! "

Blackbeard laughed after he finished speaking, and Lafitte and others gathered around and also laughed.

"You want to be a Shichibukai? Teach, the navy can't protect you, a person who betrayed my father."

Ace felt unspeakably worried about Blackbeard's plans for some reason.

"Whitebeard is awesome, the strongest man in the world!

But he is also old and has to worry about an ineffective son like you all the time.I was extremely wary of him, but I didn't have the courage to confront him head-on.

Ace, as a prisoner, please don't continue to underestimate me like this. "

Blackbeard poured a sip of wine into his mouth and said with a smile.

"The mission is accomplished, take Ace with you and let's go.

It's still a long way to go to Marineland, so don't waste time, I can't wait any longer.

Thief hahahaha! "

After Blackbeard finished speaking, the dark smoke surged and swallowed Ace whole.

Then Gizas Badges stepped forward, carried Ace on his shoulders, and the group left Banaro Island talking and laughing.
