Chapter 113 A Gathering of Heroes
Clearing his mind, Kuroro patted his face, no longer thinking about these messy things. Class determines the level of information you can access.
Your ability determines how you approach this information.
Only by standing at the same level as these powerful individuals can one truly understand these truths.
"I still need to improve my strength—" Kuroro stood up. "How did you dodge my sneak attack just now?!" Behind him, Nami activated her lioness form!
"Just now?"
After Nami reminded him, Chrollo also noticed this, and looked surprised, stroking his chin as he analyzed, "Strange... Could it be that my Observation Haki is about to awaken?"
He brought up the attribute panel and looked at it; sure enough...
In the attribute section, a new category appeared after Armament Haki:
Observation Haki: 1 (F)
Kuroro's face lit up with excitement. "Is it because of the continuous battles with strong opponents that my Observation Haki has been activated?"
Golden Lion, Kizaru, and Crocodile have encountered three powerful opponents in succession. The intense battles have awakened their Observation Haki, which is very likely!
"It could also be related to the fact that my 'circle' is very powerful!"
Kuroro then activated his Observation Haki... and discovered:
His Observation Haki has lost the vast coverage range of several kilometers that it used to have with "Circle". Currently, the range he can perceive is less than one hundred meters.
However... within this 100-meter range, in addition to inheriting the ability of "En" to perceive the movement of people and objects within the range, he also possesses the ability of "Observation Color"—a transcendence of the five senses!
The current "Observation Haki" can sense the emotions and thoughts of creatures within range, as well as predict their next move!
At the current rudimentary level of Observation Haki, it is not yet capable of predicting the future.
but...
...He's about to possess an extraordinary Observation Haki that allows him to foresee the future!
Where were you guys talking about?
"Robin just suggested that we go to the White Sea to find Skypiea, saying that one of the nine Poneglyphs might be buried there~" Nami repeated.
"No problem." Kuroro nodded affirmatively to Nami. "Robin's directions are correct. Our next destination is Skypiea."
"Are you going to find the Poneglyphs first?" Nami's eyes flashed with curiosity.
This isn't like Kuroro at all; isn't his primary goal always to hunt down strong individuals and gain prestige?
"There are more clues to the Poneglyphs there than just..."
Kuroro sighed, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented anticipation and longing. "There lies what I truly need, the Devil Fruit perfectly suited to me... Rumble."
This is the core Devil Fruit ability that Chrollo chose for himself.
If the Float-Float Fruit is a powerful weapon in group battles but not much of a help in one-on-one combat, then the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is both a deadly weapon in group battles and a god in one-on-one combat!
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, along with Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and Dragon's weather-controlling fruit, can be considered the four most powerful Disaster Fruits.
It can transform its body into lightning and control it.
One can be resurrected by striking one's own heart with lightning.
It can possess lightning speed, has an extremely wide attack range, and can fly.
It can blend into metal to hide and can teleport.
Under absolute high pressure, it can also conduct electricity, release heat, and melt.
It can unleash thunder beasts and transform into the god of thunder.
It even possesses the terrifying attack power of "Thunderclap," capable of annihilating an entire country.
In Chrollo's view, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the abilities that truly has no weaknesses and can be called "invincible".
In the original storyline, if Luffy hadn't used his special abilities, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Enel, who possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—rubber is insulated, isn't it?
You must be joking!!
The heat released by the terrifying 2 million volts of high voltage alone is enough to melt everything—there is no true insulator under hundreds of millions of volts!
Luffy won because he possesses the Nikka Devil Fruit, not rubber, and he also has the absolute destiny of being the protagonist.
However, the terrifying aspects of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit go far beyond that.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit also possesses a core ability, which is also its most overpowered ability—the Mind Network.
"Mind Web" is a special application of Observation Haki. By combining it with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, it gains a terrifying effect of covering an extremely large area and reading minds.
It represents the ultimate development of Observation Haki in the areas of "reconnaissance" and "prediction."
This is exactly the ability that Kuroro desperately needs!
Its terrifying range can cover the entire island, and its ability to read minds can even reach the level of precognition.
In Chrollo's view, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was a perfect fit for him.
Kuroro has a wide variety and a large number of abilities, so there will inevitably be times when he can't use them all in time.
Therefore, what he needs most is to be able to anticipate his opponent's actions, so as to plan in advance which combination of abilities to use to strike his opponent hard.
Only by acquiring the Web of Mind and possessing multiple abilities can Kuroro truly become "Happy Hero".
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit also makes up for his current lack of powerful attack methods.
and.
The fruits that would allow him to become Happy Superman, such as Lava and Flash, are all in the hands of top-tier powerhouses. Obtaining them would be too difficult and unrealistic.
Only thunder...
Enel lacked the heart of a strongman, a typical example of someone who relied too much on his Devil Fruit power. He developed his Devil Fruit to an extremely high level, but the fruit itself—both in terms of stats and physical skills—was too weak.
A powerful individual with top-tier Observation Haki, "Mind Field," has no Armament Haki! It's laughable!
Therefore, for Kuroro at present, it is the easiest top-tier fruit to hunt and obtain!
Only by hunting him down and obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could Chrollo truly possess his own core ability.
In this way... even if the other members are not by his side to lend him their abilities, he will still have the power to fight against top-tier experts!
But how are they going to defeat Enel, who possesses the ability of telekinesis, and the priests of Skypiea?
Kuroro was making plans in his mind.
"Departure, to Gaya Island, destination... the sky island ten thousand meters above the ground..."
Hunting Enel and the Poneglyphs
As the Black Whale sails towards Gaya Island, in Mogok Town, Gaya Island...
Moko Town is an independent town located on the west side of Gaya Island. Due to its remoteness, it is a gathering place for pirates without government jurisdiction.
At this time, this town was home to several pirate crews that would have a profound impact on future history.
First up is the Buggy Pirates. Buggy, in order to get away from Chrollo, fled Drum Island at full speed and landed in this town to gather supplies for the rest of the voyage.
Our Clown King Bucky was panting heavily, as hungry as a dog. "Boss, we haven't eaten for three days... When will we see a town?"
Mochi, the underling behind Bucky, was so hungry that he was too weak to even think straight, and followed behind Bucky like a ghost.
"Almost there... If we don't eat soon, the great Lord Buggy will starve to death!"
Just as the two were starving, a chaotic western town came into view ahead.
Bucky's eyes widened. "Great! We're saved!"
He then sprinted at top speed, pushed open the door of the tavern in Magic Valley Town, and sat down at the bar.
"Boss—"
"Bring out all the best food you have here!"
His shouts drew the attention of the other pirates in the tavern. "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen the great Lord Buggy before?!"
—
No sooner had Bucky finished shouting than he sensed something was off about the atmosphere around him. He glanced around and, a look of astonishment crossed his face.
The man sitting next to him at the bar on the right... had a thick black beard, missing front teeth, and a greedy look on his face... Teach.
"What a coincidence~ Lord Buggy? Hehe, we meet again~" Teach's eyes were playful.
"Huh?!?!" Bucky was so startled that he quickly turned his head away, but...
At the bar to his left, a shirtless man with a white beard tattoo on his back and wearing a cowboy hat was staring blankly in his direction, or more precisely, at Teach behind him. The man was Ace, the captain of the 2nd Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Behind him, two unfriendly gazes were fixed on this direction: a fat middle-aged woman in a floral dress and a strange man with thick chains wrapped around his body and hair styled like an electric fan. Judging from the tattoo on his right arm, he belonged to the Donquixote Family—a subordinate of Doflamingo.
As for the Bellamy Pirates, who had been showing off in the tavern, they were now trembling in a corner.
However, that's not all...
With a ringing sound, a woman with pink hair, sunglasses, and a graceful figure entered, followed by several navy personnel...
The newcomer is Colonel "Black Cage" Tina from headquarters.
'
Bucky's legs began to tremble, and cold sweat and snot streamed down his face.
He just wanted to have a meal, that's all...
...Did I stir up a hornet's nest?
