Chapter 857: Gray breaks through again and only wants to make ice sculptures
"Sure Kill: Lead Star!!"
"Sure Kill: Pepper Star!!"
"Sure Kill: Gunpowder Star!!"
In the dark alley, the brave and fearless sea warrior used three ultimate moves in succession within just one second. The triple star with tremendous momentum and unpredictable power seemed to be able to pierce the clouds and split the rocks, destroying all enemies standing in his way.
In the entire Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy has Nika, Zoro has the "Greengage Sacrifice", and Sanji has body modification. Only this man, step by step, relying on his own mind and hands, has climbed from an ordinary, timid little man to a legendary pirate on par with the previous three.
In the entire Straw Hat Pirates, he is the only one who possesses a special move, and he will shout it out loud before fighting the enemy. His uprightness and open-mindedness are even better than those 'Four Emperors' and 'Admirals' who use conspiracies and tricks to sneak attack the enemy.
He is Captain Usopp, the only man in hundreds of years who dared to burn the flag of the World Government on Judicial Island and declare war on them!
Now, he is in the alley, bravely fighting the enemy to protect his companions!
Bravely...
"Yoshi—let's run now!"
After launching the three ultimate moves, Usopp ran away without even looking back, because he knew that a real man would never look back at the explosion.
Boom! !
A "cross-shaped" iron rod made up of three iron rods hit him on the head.
"Come back and fight!"
There was no way Nami could let Usopp go. She reached out and pinched his long nose, pulling him in front of her. "Didn't I just tell you that you can't hide from this battle?!"
"What a joke! How can the two of us possibly handle that kind of person?!"
Thinking back to the protruding spikes on Miss's fingers and the two mace-like arms, Usopp shuddered and trembled on the spot.
Hearing Usopp's nasal words, Nami was furious, her chest heaving: "How dare you say that?! It's because your weapon is so useless! It's just a juggling prop used for banquet performances, there's no way it can be used in battle!!"
In order to help Vivi, Nami had previously commissioned Usopp to invent a weapon for her, which was the weather stick that he had recently obtained. Now it came in handy.
Just now, Miss Nami pointed with both hands, bravely took out three iron rods from her waist, and then confidently made bold statements, saying that she would show the other party a good look. However, the effect of the weather stick was just enough to show the other party. Flowers, pigeons, and fountains appeared one after another, which made her so embarrassed that she could dig a Golden Merry out of the ground with her toes.
This is a lifetime of black history!
Nami even felt that she might never forget what the other person had just said, a look filled with heartache, as if she was looking at a mentally retarded beautiful girl.
Fortunately, this battle is different from the battle between Nami and Miss's fingers at the gate of the royal capital in the original plot. This time, she has Usopp, the maker of the weather stick, by her side, so she can beat him to her heart's content and figure out the function of the weather stick more quickly.
So, following Usopp's narration, Nami accidentally discovered the three types of bubbles on the climate stick that can be used for combat: cold, hot, and electric. She quickly mastered the method of creating whirlwinds and clouds.
Looking at the black smoke caused by Usopp's gunpowder explosion at the end of the street, Nami knew that this attack would definitely not be able to kill the opponent. The key still depended on her operation.
"Listen carefully , Usopp! If you cooperate with me like this later..."
Although Rainland and Albana are two different cities, the climate of the entire Alabasta Kingdom is actually not much different. Nami is born with a meteorological perception that far exceeds that of others, and she can easily grasp the difference.
In addition, Miss's fingers did not kill Nami, and Usopp was there to take care of her, so Nami did not have to fight as hard as in the original plot, and she did not get injured.
Soon, with the combined efforts of Usopp and Nami, the two ended a tense and exciting battle.
However, on the battlefields of the three main forces, things were not so smooth.
…
At the crossroads, the battle between four legs and four hands is still going on.
The four legs represent Sanji's kicking skills and Mr. 2's demon boxing skills, and the four hands represent Gray's ice shaping magic and Mr. 3's candle fruit ability.
The two people who used their legs were evenly matched, with their suit pants and long hairy legs interweaving together, showing a state of equal strength; while the two people who used their abilities were one-sided, but after the winner was decided, they were still exchanging styling experiences with each other.
At this time, Mr. 3 and Gray stood together. In front of them were dozens of products made of ice and candles. There were various cold weapons such as knives, swords, guns, bows, axes, hammers, whips, halberds, etc., as well as hot weapons such as pistols, cannons, armor, sniper rifles, and even statues in the shapes of humans, animals, furniture, etc.
After Gray took less than half a minute to freeze all the flowing candles from the inside out, Mr. 3 decisively chose to surrender, because after seeing Gray's fighting state, he knew that the gap between the two could not be easily overcome.
The speed of ice shaping magic was too fast, and his candles would be frozen before they could even solidify, and their molecular structure would be destroyed, losing their steel-like hardness.
In fact, as early as when Kira and others were still in Ascalante, when Natsu obtained Igner's legacy and explored and developed it in depth in order to use it freely, Gray was not idle either.
He found his two senior brothers and sisters, Leon and Urrutia, and found Inbel through Mavis and Zeref. The four of them readily put aside their grudges during the Great Magic Fighting Exercise and formed an 'Advanced Ice Magic Research Group' to learn from each other and increase their own strength.
This was also influenced by the atmosphere at the time. After all, in order to prevent dragon attacks, a large group of magicians stayed in Kurokas at the request of King Thomas. They had to find something to do, so under the leadership of Kira, they began to discuss and study magic. The process was similar to the salons in medieval Europe. Marcus also received Agil's teachings at that time.
It is no exaggeration to say that those few days of magic exchange have raised the quality of magic of the magicians of the entire Ishgar to a higher level.
Gray is also one of the beneficiaries.
Driven by the desire to get stronger quickly, he got advice from Kira, Mavis, and August, and decided to learn from other wizards who used ice magic to see if he could apply what he had learned to other situations. In the end, he found that the effect was indeed good.
Gray's ice shaping magic is characterized by 'stillness', while Leon's is 'movement'. Although they are from the same source, they are slightly different, so the two of them can be said to be the most complementary. Urrutia's 'plants' are in between the two, belonging to the category of life and can be classified as 'static', which is a combination of the strengths of both.
After learning from each other, the three of them finally realized the ice shaping magic of "combining movement and stillness" one day, breaking through their original magical concepts. They were no longer restricted by the concepts of "movement" and "stillness", but reached a state of being able to move or be still, sometimes moving and sometimes still, and neither moving nor still. Yes, the ice they created was more "free".
Since then, the three inheritors of the Uru lineage have achieved a qualitative leap in the field of ice shaping magic, and finally surpassed their master and mother.
Because Bell's magic is pure cold air, and its characteristic is freezing, after he joined the exchange group, Gray and the other two simulated the nature of his magic, and soon created ice with the same properties as the 'Ice Absolute Divine Cloth', which is the ice from the demon world that is rumored to be able to freeze everything. This greatly improved the magical power of the three.
Unfortunately, the ice shaping magic was almost useless for Inbel, but Gray's ice demon-killing magic was more helpful to him. While Gray and the other two were making progress, Inbel's strength broke through again because he successfully froze the 'ice that can freeze ice' simulated by Gray.
"Your ice modeling magic is indeed very fast, but there are still some shortcomings in the details. Look here! The body of this ice man needs to be bigger and the legs need to be thinner, otherwise the carving will not be realistic enough..."
Mr3 carefully observed Gray's ice sculptures one by one, and then pointed out the shortcomings.
Gray looked at the place Mr. 3 pointed out and was stunned. "No way? Such a big body, but such thin legs. I have never seen anyone with such a body shape in my life. You actually said that this weird body shape with unbalanced force is real? You are not wearing a funhouse mirror on your face, are you?"
Mr3 sighed helplessly, patted Gray on the shoulder, and said mysteriously: "You don't understand, many of the top strong people in this world have this body shape."
"Wait until you spend two more years on the Grand Line and you'll understand. Not only are there people with giant bodies and thin legs, there are also people with horns on their heads, wings on their backs, arms with two joints, legs with two joints, a third eye on their foreheads... and all kinds of other weird things."
"I'm the master of wax sculpture in this world, so you can't go wrong by listening to me!"
