Chapter 29 The Freeze Has Arrived
It is getting darker.
There were fewer people on the streets. Some went home to eat, but some had already finished eating and went out in groups of three or five to talk about what had happened that day.
"The guards are arresting people today!"
"Not only the guards, I heard that Gunpowder's men were also involved..."
"It seems like they are trying to catch the Devil's Child! I heard that the Devil's Child is the evil spirit of the Pirate King that has been rumored on the island recently!"
"Hiss—there is such a saying? Please explain it in detail..."
"Ah! What is that?!"
In the dim night, among the passers-by walking in the park square, someone suddenly shouted and pointed somewhere as if he had seen some incredible sight.
Soon someone else screamed, "The box... is floating by itself?!"
In the dimly lit square, a black suitcase was seen floating forward, one meter above the ground.
Passersby were startled and made way.
"Is it a ghost?"
"The rumors about ghosts are indeed true!"
“Oh my god!?”
The atmosphere of uneasiness and tension spread quickly, and the guards lingering nearby, as well as several "gunpowder" members dressed in black, all hurried over.
Then they saw a suitcase floating in the low sky suddenly click open - wads of Baileys bills spilled out, as if they were grabbed by invisible hands and lifted into the air.
The growing crowd suddenly became agitated, yelling at each other not to push or shove, not to be impulsive, then quickly scooped up handfuls of flying banknotes, and finally started fighting each other.
"Who stepped on my hand?!"
"Ah, sorry - shit, the money under my feet is mine!!"
"Damn it, who tripped me?!"
"Ah!! Who punched me?"
"This is my own wallet. I don't know why it fell to the ground!!"
"Who would believe you? The money here belongs to everyone!"
The guards and the "gunpowder" people suddenly reacted and shouted: "The ghost has appeared! Inform the others, the son of the devil must be nearby!"
"Quick, quick, quick, send more people over and intensify the search!"
"The cash box has run away, hurry up and chase it, there is still money in it - no, it's the ghost that ran away, hurry up and catch it!"
"BIB" is like a ruthless money-scattering machine, leading the chaotic crowd to move, creating a bigger noise, and finally throwing the cash box into the sky.
The crowded crowd below all craned their necks, staring at the box that decelerated to the top and then spilled out bills.
"BIB" strode through the crowded crowd, ignoring any obstacles, punching or kicking someone from time to time, or taking out a person's wallet and putting it in the hand of the person next to him...
The crowd became more chaotic, and the guards had a headache. They had to allocate manpower to maintain law and order.
"BIB" passed through those guys in black like a ghost, and the "Gunpowder" members were immediately struck by lightning, leaving behind "BIB" a trail of screams.
Looking down from the sky, the town was centered on the square, and the sound of chaos quickly spread to the surroundings... and "BIB" was like a real ghost, wandering slowly in the chaos.
It shuttled between streets, walls, and houses, while sensing the approximate location of its main body. Suddenly, when passing by a room, it heard someone mention something about a devil fruit.
"…The guy who is playing tricks on me, what a ghost! He just possessed some kind of devil fruit! How dare he challenge us Gunpowder like this? The headquarters sent me here to let that ignorant kid know that he is not the only one who possesses a devil fruit!"
BIB stopped. Does this person also have a devil fruit? It followed the voice and floated over. It saw the person who was talking. He was a guy wearing a black cape, holding a big cigar, cleaning his gun, and showing a standard gangster's sinister smile.
In front of him, several "Gunpowder" members showed excitement. They were the bosses of the Devil Fruit users at the headquarters. This was not something you could easily see!
"As long as that brat dares to show up, I can use my ability of the 'Pipe-Pipe Fruit' to send explosives directly into his mouth, hehehe..."
The gangster boss grinned, and the cigar in his mouth quickly transformed into a hollow short tube in front of everyone's eyes.
He walked up to his subordinate, raised his hand and pressed his shoulder. A round hole appeared on his face, as if his entire head had turned into a tube that could pass through.
The gang leader took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully. A stream of cigar smoke shot through the pipe on his subordinate's face like a sharp arrow, and with a whoosh and bang, it completely shattered a corner of the wall.
"I was scared to death..." The subordinate's face returned to normal after the gang leader took his hand away. He touched his face in fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing was seriously wrong.
"Hahaha! So, no matter if it's a ghost or some other ghost thing, in front of my ability, it can all be connected by the pipeline... uh, hehe..."
After the cigar resumed burning normally, the man laughed triumphantly, but suddenly the laughter stopped. He covered his neck in pain and his face quickly turned blue.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Who is it... an evil spirit?! He had difficulty breathing and could clearly feel an invisible hand pinching his neck, but he couldn't see anything in front of him!
He immediately wanted to use the ability of his fruit to counter the invisible ghost in front of him, but he found that the ability that he once knew like an instinct seemed to have never existed at this moment, and there was no trace of it at all.
The invisible hand crushed his throat.
He fell to the ground, the screams of his men fading away... He was too lazy to think about why that invisible hand could grab his throat through his skin and break it...
The cigar rolled into the pool of blood that flowed from his mouth. He murmured a question in his blurred consciousness: Why did my devil fruit ability disappear? The palm covered with blue flame patterns grasped an inverted triangle chip covered with tubular patterns.
"BIB" put the fruit chip given by the enemy into the inverted triangle "reactor" on its chest, and continued to move between the walls. The main body has not yet left the city, it wants to continue to create some chaos to divert the attention of others.
"BIB" passed through the wall and entered a tavern this time.
The pub was noisy, with many people arguing loudly about the chaos outside. It was about to stir up some trouble in the bar, but suddenly looked at the bar on the side.
A very tall man, wearing a vest suit, a tie, and a sleep mask on his face, picked up the wine glass on the bar in front of him and blew gently into it.
Click, click...the inner wall of the cup was immediately covered by a layer of cold air, and broken ice chips floated on the surface of the wine.
The lazy-looking man drank the wine in one gulp, exhaled a breath of cold air, and said casually: "Ah, it seems like someone came in just now?"
He pushed up the blindfold and glanced back, "Are you leaving now?"
………………
Lynch, who was leading Robin and carrying a bag, was walking out of the city. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw a man in black armor rushing back towards him.
"Why are you back so soon?" Lin Qi was a little confused.
"An unexpected situation occurred..." "BIB" answered in an electronic mixed voice, and immediately wrapped Lynch like an Iron Man armor, asking him to put it on.
Lynch and Robin turned the corner and were about to leave the city. He was about to check the playback footage on the armor helmet, but when his hand touched the wall at the corner, he suddenly felt a piercing chill.
"So that's how it is. This is really an unexpected situation..." Lynch sighed.
"What happened?" Robin wondered, but suddenly he saw a layer of frost condensed on the wall at the corner of the street and on the road, spreading towards their feet.
Typing on a cell phone is so awkward.
