Chapter 827 Mr.3: Did I relax too early just now?
Natsu won, without a doubt, and won cleanly.
No matter how famous the 'Blue and Red Devils' were , no matter how talented and powerful Dongli and Broki were, that was more than a hundred years ago. In the Age of Discovery, there were no ships that could carry them.
Not to mention, in the magical age that is about to begin.
Anyway, in Kira's opinion, allowing them to become his and his friends' first opponents after embarking on the Grand Line, and allowing them to show up and play supporting roles, was already giving them enough face.
On the other side, when the wizards saw Natsu knocking two giants away with one punch, they were fine, but Mr. 3 was petrified. Even though he was confident that he could successfully capture the two giants with his own intelligence, that was just a trick after all, a means of avoiding the opponent's attack as a last resort. It could not be compared with Natsu's way of knocking the opponent away head-on, fighting at the same time, or a battle that was decided by one move.
However, Miss Golden Week beside him had recovered from her previous shock. She still maintained that calm and leisurely attitude , quietly watching the scene in front of her.
This kid is smart and clever, but his performance, the way he remained calm when a giant collapsed in front of him, is something Mr. 3 cannot compare to.
In the silent silence, Happy had already caught Natsu and flew back to the audience, and came to the crowd. The man and the cat were high-fiving each other because they defeated the giant. They were running around excitedly and rushed to Lucy to show off, looking like a straight man showing off his muscles in front of his girlfriend.
Unfortunately, Lucy, a 20-year-old girl, had no interest in such competitive things. Instead, the little fan boy next to her was so fascinated by Natsu's feat that he cooperated with him and shouted.
"You're awesome, Natsu-kun!!"
"I feel like you're much stronger than a few days ago!! How did you do it??"
"I want to become as strong as you in the future!!"
“…”
Natsu was very pleased to hear these compliments from the bottom of his heart, while his old father Makao beside him looked melancholy and resentful: "I have raised him for so long, but he has never said these words to me..."
"Are the two giants okay?"
Natsu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I know how to control my attack. An injury of this severity will probably heal in two or three days!"
Happy asked curiously, "But Natsu, didn't you say this was the first time you used the power left behind by Igner?"
"Eh? Really?" Natsu was stunned, then smiled brightly, "Hahaha, it's okay, I think the giant's vitality should be very strong!"
"Uh... it's 'you want'..."
Erza looked at the red dragon tattoo on Natsu's right arm, frowned and asked, "Let's not talk about the giant for now. Natsu, is it really okay for you to use Igner's power like this? I don't think that's a power that can be used at will, right?"
Natsu smiled awkwardly, his eyes also falling on the tattoo on his right arm, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "Well... the power that Igner left me was indeed limited at that time. The more I use, the less I have. I originally planned to use it when I faced an enemy that I couldn't defeat. But when I became stronger, I found that I could use this power at will, but it would consume more magic power."
"Is that so... That's good!" Erza nodded and said nothing more.
After spending a few months with Irene, she has already had a certain understanding of the power of the dragon clan, so just from the move just now, she can see that the power left by Igunelu far exceeds Natsu's original power. It should be that Igunelu intended to use it to save Natsu's life in a critical moment.
Since it is a life-saving talisman, it should not be wasted during such a fight!
But since Natsu said that she could use it at will in the future, she no longer cared. After all, Erza knew that compared to herself, Natsu must care more about Igneel.
Kira heard the conversation between the two clearly, and his eyes also fell on Natsu's right hand.
Unlike Erza, he knew that Natsu had a status cheat. Once he experienced a special state, such as the Thunder and Flame Dragon mode, he could enter it at will in the future. The same was true for the Flame Dragon King's moves. Once used, he could use it all the time.
Moreover, unlike the plot in the comics, the current Iguneel did not fight a life-and-death battle with Acnorolia, but died naturally after being defeated. Therefore, the power it left for Natsu is much greater than the residual power left in the comics that can only launch one or two moves!
With the combination of the two, this seemingly non-renewable legacy has changed from "use it up" to "can be used several times" and "new patterns can be learned faster".
Not only that, in the comics, Natsu went out to train for a year in order to activate the power of Igner, but now it only took less than a month. This change is mainly because since they came to the pirate world, their bodies have become different from before in just a few days.
In fact, the average physical fitness of the pirate world may not be comparable to that of the Ascalante people, and their high-end combat power is not stronger than that of Acnorolia and Zeref, and may even be much weaker. But there is one thing that Ascalante cannot compare with, and that is food!
In this world, food contains special energy, and meals made through special combinations can improve human physical fitness. For example, the Shemale Island has such a set of recipes.
After Kira and the others came here, they continued to consume the food of this world, and the energy naturally entered their bodies. Coincidentally, these energies could make the magician's body more compatible with magic, so they became stronger faster!
As for the reason why wizards absorb energy from food more effectively than local residents, it is probably due to the body compatibility that Kira has not yet figured out.
“Alright, alright…”
Kira clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Now that the matter of the giant has come to an end, it's time for the second carefully prepared fight!"
After hearing Kira's words, several people were excited at the same time: What?! There is also a fight?! Who is it...
Oh, yes! Yesterday, besides Natsu saying he wanted to fight two giants, Gray also said he wanted to have a style duel with this man named Gardino...
Thinking of this, all the wizards turned their heads and their eyes fell on Mr. 3 who was at a loss behind them. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were shining brightly, looking scary as if they wanted to eat him.
Mr3: “……???”
Why are these guys looking at me like that? Is there any senbei from yesterday on my face? ? Hey, hey, hey... stop looking at me! I'm so scared when you do that!!
"Um...is there anything?" The voice was respectful and humble, yet full of desire to survive.
"What is it? Isn't it obvious?"
Several people stepped forward and surrounded Mr. 3, like a group of wild wolves blocking a fat sheep, and smiled like bullies bullying the weak. "This is the arena, so of course we have to duel! Now that the giants have been defeated, it's of course your turn next!"
“No, no, no…don’t!”
Although he had expected this, Mr. 3 was still shocked when he heard them say they wanted to duel him. He pointed at Natsu, who was a head shorter than him, and shouted in fear, "I surrender! I surrender!! How can I be a match for that monster?!"
"Oh, you misunderstood! The one who wants to duel with you is not Natsu!" Kira reminded lightly.
"Eh?? It's not the little devil who uses fire?? Then who is it?"
Hearing that his opponent was not Natsu, Mr. 3 felt relieved. He then looked at the remaining wizards, constantly guessing their strength in his mind.
'The red-haired guy is obviously the boss of these people, so he must be the strongest one among them. Although the strength of the remaining few is not clear, they all look very young... No, that's not right! Being young doesn't mean anything. The little devil who uses fire is also young, but he is as strong as a monster! ! '
"The guy in armor looks tough. The woman with long black hair has a scary look in her eyes. The grinning man with pointy ears is evil. The blonde girl looks smart and must have a way to deal with me. Even the two girls don't look simple..."
"So, it seems that the only people I can handle are those two old uncles and the little brats around them?!"
(Makao, Wakaba: ...Uncle??)
"Your opponent is this guy!" Kira pointed his finger at Gray, "Don't worry, the magic he uses is ice, not fire, so you don't have to worry about being restrained."
Mr3 was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Kira to be able to see his uneasiness when they first met. He also thought that his uneasiness was because "his devil fruit ability was restrained by fire". He immediately complained in his heart: No wonder he can be the boss, this meticulous insight alone is more vicious than himself, an old spy who has been in the business for decades!
Seeing that his next opponent was not Natsu, Mr.3 breathed a sigh of relief: Since the opponent didn't use fire, it seemed that he didn't have to be afraid? !
"It's just that Gray is just as strong as Natsu..."
Mr3: “…”
Did I relax too early?
The next moment, before Mr. 3 could react, Kira used space magic to transfer several people to the center of the duel arena again.
In just a few minutes, Kira has used space magic several times, but Mr. 3 was confused the previous times and had no idea how to transfer. But this time, when he saw Kira's action, he finally came to his senses: "That was the ability of space transfer just now? ? ! Could it be that this kid is a space-type devil fruit user ?"
"Well...what are you thinking about?" Mr. 3 has already made up his mind that the next time he sees the guy opposite him throwing a punch, he will surrender immediately.
Kira smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, this time we're not competing in combat, but in styling speed!"
“Uh… modeling speed?” Mr. 3 was a little confused. It was the first time he heard of this term.
"I'll set the questions, and then you and Gray will create wax figures and ice sculptures based on the questions. Then these people will score them, and the one with the highest score wins!"
It turns out to be better than this?!
After hearing Kira's words, Mr. 3 felt relieved and his whole body instantly became radiant. His slightly haggard face became energetic and even had a hint of a sneer.
"Hehehe... Comparing to a sculpture? I, Galtino, have been traveling the sea for so many years and have never been afraid of anyone!!"
“Just come on!!”
