Chapter 133: Moon Tiger
They suddenly learned that there was a tiger worth 7 billion US dollars, and that one of them had had contact with the tiger and might be a bait. Everyone was very excited and immediately started discussing how to catch the tiger.
After guessing the approximate time when the tiger would appear from Nakajima Atsushi's confession, everyone ate barbecue and played cards, and waited until ten o'clock in the evening. They looked forward to having Nakajima Atsushi sit in the yard to attract the tiger - mainly because they didn't want the house to be damaged, while they hid in various places in the yard waiting for the big tiger to come, without considering what to do if the tiger didn't come tonight.
Everyone was watching Nakajima Atsushi with great interest at first, but after waiting for half an hour and still not seeing the tiger, everyone got a little lazy and started watching while checking their phones. In order to stay quiet and not disturb the tiger who might appear at any time, everyone kept bubbling in the group chat room of the Pirates to replace the heated discussions.
After finally making it to nearly midnight, a huge white tiger suddenly appeared in the courtyard. A tiger roar echoed in the courtyard, followed by noises from all directions. The "Rashomon" cloth belt took the lead, running close to the ground, rising from both sides of the white tiger, and then tied up in the middle.
Immediately afterwards, a volley of bullets attacked the white tiger's limbs.
However, the white tiger leaped suddenly, and with its sharp claws, it slashed the "Rashomon" which had become sharp and hard due to the enhancement of its supernatural power, into several pieces!
Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned. He had never encountered an enemy before who could directly cut off the existence of "Rashomon" like this. But he did not hesitate. This time, "Rashomon" turned into a beast head and bit the white tiger's body again.
Lovecraft was a little slow and only then extended his green tentacles and quickly rushed towards the white tiger. However, before he got close, he was cut by the tiger's claws.
However, this had no effect on Lovecraft. The smooth cross-section of the tentacle grew again and continued to approach the white tiger.
At this time, someone finally noticed something was wrong: "Where's Nakajima!?"
"It's obvious, right? This tiger is Nakajima." Hisaya still held the gun in his hand. "I never thought that this guy is also a psychic."
"Hey? Is this tiger Atsushi?!" Ace's eyes widened in shock. He originally thought that everyone seemed to be of high character, so he might as well let the student and his companions try first, and then he would take over if they couldn't handle it. But if the white tiger was Nakajima Atsushi, then it couldn't be that everyone could just kill it or not.
Sakyo, who was half-bending and hiding with Kuya, heard his analysis and shouted to Baihu: "Nakajima! Hey! Can you hear me!? Nakajima Atsushi!"
The white tiger heard his voice, but he apparently did not bring it back to its senses. After its head turned towards this side, its first action was to pounce and bite this side.
Hisami and Sakyo widened their eyes and quickly dodged to the sides. They raised their guns but didn't know whether they should shoot or not.
If the tiger was Nakajima Atsushi, and they shot the tiger, then Nakajima Atsushi would also be shot, right?
At this moment, a beast head in the shape of a "Rashomon" hit the white tiger's lower jaw directly, and the huge force turned the whole tiger over. Then, several beast heads followed and hit the exposed abdomen of the white tiger, knocking the whole tiger away and falling heavily to the ground.
The companions who were close to the tiger's side immediately moved to another position the moment the tiger fell to the ground, to prevent the tiger from slowing down and attacking them.
At the same time, "Rashomon" and the green tentacles quickly approached, and when the tiger pressed one of its paws on the ground and was about to stand up, they tied it tightly to its body and strangled it to the ground.
The white tiger struggled and twisted in the shackles, but its claws could not reach the cloth and tentacles entangled around its body, so it could only lie on its side and writhe in the ground.
Ace slapped Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the shoulder: "Well done!"
"Yes!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke's brows relaxed immediately, and he tried hard to suppress the joy in his eyes and put on a calm look.
Seeing that the tiger was completely subdued, everyone came to surround the tiger one after another, and some people even squatted down and poked the tiger's fur with their fingers.
"This is Nakajima...it seems like he really doesn't recognize us?" Poking his belly.
"This tiger is so fierce. I never knew he had this side before." He poked his back.
"I can't believe Nakajima is a person with special abilities."
"Speaking of which, will this ability to transform into an animal make the owner lose consciousness?" He poked his ear... "Hey! This tiger bites people!"
When the tiger suddenly turned around and tried to bite the guy who touched his ear, Yukawahiko suddenly retracted his hand, his heart pounding. He almost got scared to death when he thought it was harmless and relaxed.
Lingna glanced at him speechlessly, "You are already a tiger, why don't you bite people?"
Fei Niao squatted beside him and frowned, "If he doesn't have human consciousness, how can we turn him back into a human?"
Akutagawa Gin said: "Baihu is his special ability after all. We just need to make his special ability ineffective."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke narrowed his eyes and walked to the side of Baihu's head.
The white tiger was huge. When Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood in front of him, the white tiger's head was higher than his waist. This was when the tiger was lying on its side on the ground. If it stood up, it would probably be taller than anyone else.
He lowered his eyes to look at the tiger head in front of him, slowly put on a smile, wrapped his fist with "Rashomon", and punched the white tiger on the head, knocking the white tiger unconscious. His companions beside him gasped in shock.
When he was in Raibo Street, Akutagawa's most common attack method was "Rashomon". Because of his weak body, his supernatural power could make up for his weakness. But since he met Mr. Ace, in addition to his body slowly getting better, he really likes to use fists more and more!
Because he is not a strong type, Akutagawa's punches are not as powerful as those of other stronger people. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Akutagawa has been insisting on high-intensity training. However, his congenital defects are difficult to make up for by training, so he has developed a way to use special abilities to assist in enhancing his strength and defense, thus covering up this shortcoming.
His companions looked at Nakajima Atsushi, who had lost his supernatural powers due to his coma and was lying face down on the ground in human form. His companions looked at him with a little sympathy.
That is to say, if Nakajima was hit on the head like this, wouldn't he become stupid? What if he got bruised and lost his memory... Tsk tsk.
As its body suddenly shrank, the fabric and tentacles fell to the ground, either dissipating or being retracted.
Everyone carried Nakajima Atsushi back and placed him in the room assigned to him.
Zuo Jing, who was already studying medicine, went forward to check on him and diagnosed him as follows: "Nothing serious, he just fell asleep because he was too tired."
Akutagawa Gin thought thoughtfully: "It seems that using his special ability in this way consumes a lot of his physical strength."
"Maybe it's because he didn't get enough rest in the past period of time, and he was suddenly tired today, so he seemed to be very physically exhausted." Zuo Jing put away the tools he used for inspection.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke lifted the hem of his shirt and took a look, and guessed: "His ability is either very strong in defense or has a strong recovery ability."
"Rashomon" has a strong cutting ability, but considering that Nakajima Atsushi is now one of their own, Akutagawa Ryunosuke has not been ruthless before. Otherwise, if one of the White Tiger's legs is cut off at that time, they can't let him limp and use crutches to clean for them in the future.
However, although he did not use the cutting ability of "Rashomon", he still hit the white tiger's abdomen with great force. However, after recovering to his human form, Nakajima Atsushi's abdomen did not even have a bruise. These are the only two possibilities he speculated.
Hisa looked at Nakajima Atsushi and thought about it, then turned around and asked Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "Akutagawa, have you ever been unable to control your abilities?"
Akutagawa Ryunosuke shook his head, "I have always controlled my special ability very well."
Ace tilted his head and looked at them, "Isn't it possible for Dun to control his ability?"
"It's obvious, right? If he could control it, then the tiger should have had its own consciousness. After all, superpowers are a kind of power of their owner and should be controlled by him. It's really troublesome to have a superpower who can't control his own superpowers." Jiumi sighed, but his expression was not heavy.
Fei Niao raised his hand and said, "I was wondering if you guys would like to let him join our pirate group?"
They had not considered Nakajima Atsushi before, simply because he looked weak and didn't seem to have any special skills or abilities, so he wasn't suitable to follow them around. But now that they had discovered that he had such a powerful ability, he would be very suitable to be recruited by them.
The top fighters on the ship are only Captain Akutagawa and Mr. Lovecraft, and the others are not much different in level. The weakest is still himself who started learning physical skills the latest. Under such circumstances, the high-end fighters on their ship can be said to be quite scarce, so the more the better.
Instead of leaving it to others, it is better to eat it yourself.
She glanced at Ace secretly. This time was enough for her to know that he was a member of a mafia organization in Yokohama. But even though the seniors on the ship respected him very much, she would try her best to keep this person with special abilities on their own ship.
Even if it's Mr. Ace, she won't give in!
Everyone was very interested in Fei Niao's proposal. It was similar to what she had considered. They had also seen many strong men during this voyage. Their strength was indeed not strong enough. They certainly did not want to miss the opportunity to increase their overall combat power.
"But if he can't control his special ability, he won't be able to distinguish between friend and foe when using it?" Zuo Jing worried.
"Then train."
Everyone who was still discussing looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who said sternly, "Supernatural powers are developed through training and control. If Nakajima Atsushi can't control his supernatural powers, then let him use them constantly and force him to control them."
Nakajima Atsushi's ability is obviously of the type that can be self-controlled, rather than rule-based or passive. If he can't control it, it only proves that he is too weak and uses it too little.
Before contacting him, he had no idea that this was his special ability and thought he was the tiger's prey. It was obvious that he not only lacked training, but also the corresponding knowledge and experience.
Companions: “…”
This, this method of forcing him to take control, wouldn't it be to let him get beaten continuously?
In the silence, only Ace clapped his hands. He said with satisfaction: "Ryunosuke has really grown up. He has his own ideas now."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes were determined: "Yes! I will continue to work hard!"
The companions' eyes once again fell on the sleeping Nakajima Atsushi, filled with sympathy.
The captain is so high-spirited, I'm afraid Nakajima is going to be in big trouble.
