Volume 3: A Short Pirate Journey Chapter 021 The Role of Luck
After Loki extracted Crocodile's ability, he threw the apple that had turned into a devil fruit to Emiya. Emiya frowned and took a bite of the apple.
Hmm...still as unpalatable as always.
Fortunately, the devil fruit only requires the first bite . If he was asked to eat the entire apple, Emiya would really want to refuse.
A few seconds after eating the Sand-Sand Fruit, Emiya gained the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
As soon as he thought about it, his right arm turned into sand all over the sky. Part of it flew in the air and exploded under Emiya's control.
This is of course not the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit, but the ability of the Explosion-Explosion Fruit.
After countless grains of sand exploded, the power was earth-shattering, flames flew everywhere, and the top of the Casino Rain Banquet was directly blown into ashes, without even a finger-sized piece of gravel left.
The next second, Emiya absorbed enough sand and transformed it into his own arms.
It can be said that the Sand-Sand Fruit combined with the Explosion-Explosion Fruit have further enhanced Emiya's strength.
But what followed was a feeling of weakness.
Emiya swayed slightly and almost fell.
Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped forward, supported him, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little weak." Emiya smiled bitterly. The power of the Sand-Sand Fruit plus the Explosion-Explosion Fruit was indeed very small. This combination was definitely not as simple as one plus one.
With this ability, Emiya can even challenge the Shichibukai.
Even defeated most of the Shichibukai.
But the devil fruit has a very interesting setting. The price paid for driving the ability is neither mental power nor magic power, but physical strength! !
Although Emiya's physical strength has made great progress during his adventure, it is still within the range of human comprehension. Being able to drive two devil fruit abilities at once is definitely a huge test of his physical strength.
Emiya estimated that if he used both abilities to fight, his strength would be exhausted within three or five moves, and he would be at the mercy of others.
This is outrageous.
What’s the difference between this and Huihui? At most, he just uses a few more moves than Huihui.
Emiya even felt that if he wanted to use the Sand-Sand Fruit and the Explosion-Explosion Fruit to create a power that was not inferior to Megumin's explosion magic, all his physical strength would be drained in one move.
Emiya couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the more powers a devil fruit had, the better. The more suitable it was for oneself, the better.
He created an apple, turned to Loki and said, "Come on, be gentle this time, please."
Loki nodded, took the apple handed to him by Emiya in one hand and grabbed Emiya's hand with the other.
In an instant, the familiar feeling of tearing came again.
However, just as Emiya was about to scream, Loki suddenly let go of Emiya and said, "Another orange."
"What?" Emiya gasped, confused.
Loki smiled and explained: "The abilities of the two devil fruits have been integrated into your body. If I want to extract them, I can only extract both abilities at the same time, and I can't take away one of them."
Emiya: ...
What else could he say? He made another orange and gave it to Loki.
Loki extracted the two abilities in one breath and infused them into the apple and orange respectively. He then put the apple away and gave the orange to Emiya.
Then, he used a little bit of his divine power to repair Emiya's body.
Emiya was instantly revived with full health. He looked at the orange handed to him by Loki with a conflicted look on his face, but he finally ate it and regained the ability of the Explosion-Explosion Fruit.
After all, this ability is a perfect match for his telekinesis.
However, Emiya did not create and eat the perfect Sand-Sand Fruit because his physical strength could not support two powerful devil fruits.
Then, Emiya asked Loki again, "Do you need me to make a Sand-Sand Fruit for you?"
Loki shook her head. Since Emiya was already able to make the Sand-Sand Fruit, she was not in a hurry at all. She looked leisurely towards the entrance of the VIP hall of Yuyan.
"Do you need me to call you out?"
Emiya followed Loki's gaze and saw a tall, black-haired beauty walking out of the entrance and slowly saying, "I have no ill will towards you."
She saw clearly what happened in the casino hall just now, whether it was the scene of Loki defeating Crocodile or the scene of the other party being able to extract the devil fruit.
There is not a single woman who would want to mess with this group of mysterious guys.
"Nicole Robin." Emiya recognized the true identity of this tall black-haired beauty at the first moment, and was not surprised that she appeared here.
After all, she is Miss All Sunday of Baroque Workshop.
When Robin saw that he was recognized, his face turned extremely pale.
But Loki's eyes were not focused on her. Instead, he looked at the door of Yuyan, "You should come out too."
Shirou was stunned. There was someone else?
Da da da……
There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and a tall man walked in.
He has short black hair and a beard around his mouth. His eyes are closed and there is an "X" shaped scar on the left side of his forehead, which extends to both eyes.
The man was wearing a lavender kimono, a dark purple belt, a purple scarf around his neck, white hand guards on his hands, bandages on his arms, wooden shoes on his feet, and a staff sword in his hand.
The moment Emiya saw the man, he recognized his identity.
The main reason is that this outfit is so easy to recognize.
The future admiral of the navy, Fujitora smiled.
Of course, Fujitora is the code name given to him by the Navy, and this guy’s real name should be Yixiao.
"I'm sorry, I just heard that Yuyan is a good casino, so I wanted to come to Yuyan to gamble. I have no intention of spying on you." He walked in with a smile and bowed slightly.
Emiya looked at Loki and couldn't help but say, "You must have done this."
"What are you talking about?" Loki laughed.
When Emiya saw this smile, he knew that his guess was correct. "There are so many casinos in the world, but we happened to meet Yi Xiao here, and you still say it's not your fault. You know, this person has been active in the New World and rarely comes to the park."
He smiled and shook his head and said, "I just happened to hear that Crocodile opened a casino, and I wanted to come and take a look. I didn't come to see you on purpose. Although I don't know where you heard my name from, I have never seen you before."
He was quite confident in his memory. Whether it was Emiya or these girls, it was the first time they met each other.
Emiya chuckled. He believed what Yixiao said, but he firmly believed that Loki must have intervened since Yixiao appeared here.
Loki smiled and said, "You think too much. I didn't interfere."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"That's because you don't understand the gods. I've already said that I want to recruit followers in this world, so my luck will come into play. Next, the strong people in this world who can be recruited by me will appear in front of us one after another."
Emiya: ...
He thought about it over and over again, but he never expected that it was luck that was at work.
"You gods really are..." Emiya shook his head, too lazy to continue.
Yixiao listened to the conversation between Emiya and Loki, but did not believe it and thought that the other party was trying to trick him.
Loki, however, smiled and invited Yixiao, "You heard what I said just now. How about Yixiao, do you want to become my Familiar?"
Yixiao said solemnly: "You are a Tianlong."
"Hey, hey, hey, even I would get angry if I heard that." Loki said jokingly, "Comparing me with that bunch of trash, if it were me in the past, I would definitely burn you to ashes."
I didn't know why I smiled, but my heart suddenly turned cold and my body became stiff.
It seems as if the other party can take his life at any time if he wants.
Emiya saw something and said to Loki, "Ignorance is not a crime, Loki."
Loki nodded and said, "That's true. Ignorance is not a crime. I'll let you off this time. Yixiao, listen carefully. I am a genuine god."
The chill in Yixiao's heart gradually faded. He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, there are no gods in this world. If gods really exist, there wouldn't be so many dirty things in the world."
However, these words made Loki burst into laughter.
He smiled unhappily and said, "Is what I said so funny?"
Loki said, "Of course it's funny. The good and bad of this world are not decided by gods, but by humans. You are the masters of this world. Why should the evil you do be blamed on gods?"
A smile: "...but, God loves the world..."
Loki couldn't wait for the other person to finish speaking, so he interrupted and said, "God loves the world is the biggest lie, because God has never said this before. It is just something you humans added to God without authorization."
"Even in the eyes of many gods, humans are stupid and arrogant, with short lives and dirty thoughts. They are bugs on the ground and hopeless garbage..."
Yixiao couldn't listen any longer, "Is this also your opinion?"
"Of course not." Loki said decisively: "Unlike those gods, I like humans very much. Otherwise, I would not have come down from heaven to the human world and established my own clan."
"Family?"
"The gods will grant grace to mankind. Anyone who accepts my grace is my family."
Nico Robin's heart moved. She had been running around, hiding everywhere, struggling to survive in the darkness all these years, wasn't it just to avoid being tracked by the World Government?
Now there is a woman who claims to be a god and says she wants to recruit followers. She is immediately attracted. Regardless of whether this woman is a god or not, just by looking at her strength that crushes Crocodile, she knows that she is very powerful.
So Nico Robin quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, can I join your clan?"
