Chapter 861: A Step Slow
There was a pair of three people, a woman, a man, and a person wearing glasses.
The woman has powerful magic, and magic is closely related to space. The voice actor is Sayaka Ohara;
The man comes from a special family. He always quarrels with people who wear glasses whenever they meet. The voice actor is Nakai Kazuya.
People wearing glasses are the younger generation of women. Their relationship with men is unclear, and they quarrel every time they meet. They are the bridge for women and men to get to know each other and reach some kind of tacit understanding.
So this woman and man are...
"Ms. Yuuko and Hyakkime!!"
After the broadcasting machine followed Erza away and transmitted her mumbling voice, Kira in the car finally reacted. He unconsciously dug out a dusty anime from the depths of his memory, and then fell into deep regret.
"No wonder I felt a sense of déjà vu when Erza and Zoro stood together..."
Bang!
Kira couldn't help but slap his thigh hard due to the depression in his chest, and then...
Urrutia slapped him, "Why did you hit me, you bastard?! Slap your own leg!"
What a joke! Doesn’t it hurt when you slap your own leg?
Kira was prepared for her slap. He sneered, lowered his head, and nimbly dodged the slap from the side. After a crisp sound, Marcus became the only person who suffered in the car.
"Why...why...is it like this..."
" A blessing in disguise, brother! This might be the price you pay for being too pretentious at the rain banquet yesterday."
Marcus was silent, with confusion in his eyes. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
"Poor kid, he was photographed silly..."
Kira looked at Marcus and sighed deeply, then turned to glare at Urrutia, "You are so rude, let's see who will dare to marry you in the future..."
The words stopped abruptly, because at this moment, a long line of purple lipstick ran from the corner of Urrutia 's mouth to the base of her ear, which looked extremely funny.
“Puchi——!”
"How dare you laugh like that?!"
Seeing that Kira not only showed no remorse but even laughed unkindly, Urrutia was so angry that his chest swelled and he reached out to hit him again.
"Okay, stop messing around and just watch the live broadcast!"
Kira was quick to slap her back and said, "This is not a makeup live show. You are not respecting Erza and the others' hard work by putting on makeup at this time!!"
The space in the carriage was already small, and the movement of the carriage pulled by the crocodile ghost was not very stable, so Urrutia was hit by this and his body suddenly lost balance and fell backwards, and finally lay in Robin's arms.
"hiss--!"
Kira instantly took a breath of cold air, his eyes full of doubt: Could this be the legendary scene in romantic dramas where the male and female protagonists would hold their girls in their arms and kill them? !
Oh no, Robin and Urrutia are both women, so this kind of situation should be called yuri sticking?
For someone like Kira, whether it's yuri stickers or the 10 billion subsidies that are only two words different from it, it will make him blush, his heart beat faster, and he can't control his hands.
Unfortunately, Robin just smiled softly and helped Urrutia up without saying anything, which disappointed Kira, but it was in line with her character.
…
"Luffy, since you are a rubber man, you can try to make your hands bigger and fight! Just like a giant..."
"Huh?! That makes sense!! But this should be difficult, right? Forget it, I'll try it again when I have the chance..."
As the protagonists of the two-step anime, Natsu and Luffy faced off for the first time, but unexpectedly they did not put up a wonderful and beautiful battle. It was not only because of their different personalities, but also because of the two feasts that Ace had delivered before.
Since you are so kind, Natsu said that your brother is my brother and I should take care of him.
Luffy has just been at sea for less than two months and is only 17 years old this year, and Natsu... although he is still impulsive, hot-blooded and idiotic in character, he is indeed 20 years old this year, the same age as Ace, so naturally he regards himself as the 'older brother'.
The two hit it off immediately, and Luffy told Natsu everything Crocodile had done in Alabasta. Natsu, who was of upright character, was immediately filled with indignation. He stopped fighting and took Luffy to the direction of the Rain Banquet.
Along the way, the two talked as they walked. Natsu instructed Luffy to transform into a giant in order to fight, because he felt that Luffy's devil fruit ability was somewhat similar to Makarov's giant magic. Natsu, who had been taught a lesson countless times since he was a child, immediately thought of a way to become stronger. Luffy, on the other hand, was very excited because Natsu was upright and passionate, and his magic was very similar to Ace's, and he started to pull people on board.
In fact, when Luffy heard that Natsu was a wizard, his eyes lit up and he invited him on board, but the result was definitely a rejection.
"Natsu, you really don't want to be my crewmate?"
"I will never leave Fairy Tail!!"
"Really? What a pity~"
Led by Natsu, the two ran side by side towards the room inside the Rain Banquet where Crocodile was locked up, while Smoker followed behind them not far away, ready to take down Luffy at any time.
Yuyan is a casino open 24 hours a day, and even the employees work in shifts. Even in broad daylight, there are still many gamblers inside, including people in suits, coats, and casual clothes.
Because of the 'hunting game' that Kira had announced in the radio broadcast over the rainy land, these gamblers now felt that they had not had enough fun, but also that they did not dare to go out for fear of being affected.
After a while, the three of them came to a room.
"Is Crocodile here??"
"Yeah, he was beaten badly by Gajeel!"
"Thank you so much for this time! Natsu, Happy!"
Luffy said as he pushed the door open with a bang, and rushed in while waving his fists and shouting, "Crocodile! Come out!! I'm going to beat you up!!!"
“…”
Silence , still silence.
The whole room was silent, not even a single person was in sight, only Luffy's voice echoed.
"Where are the people? Didn't they say Crocodile is here?"
Luffy looked around and finally found the cage that Natsu mentioned in the corner of the room, but the cage was already open, and there was no Crocodile inside. There was only a kicked over iron box and a water stain that had long since dried up.
"How strange... He was clearly here yesterday!" Happy scratched his head and vaguely guessed that Kira must have let the man go, because he was the one who stayed here yesterday.
"Did he run away?!"
Luffy was shocked and angry, two streams of white air spurted out of his nostrils like a locomotive, and he punched the cage hard, "Damn it! Just one step short!!"
Boom!!!
With a muffled sound, Luffy instantly lost all his strength and fell to the ground: "Uh... why do I suddenly have no strength...?"
"What's wrong? Did you have a stomachache?"
"That's not it, Natsu! Those people seemed to have said before that this cage is made of seastone, which has a restraining effect on Devil Fruit users, causing them to lose strength or something."
Natsu suddenly realized: "Isn't that similar to the Demon Sealing Stone?"
The Magic Sealing Stone will prevent the wizard from using his magic power, just as Seastone will make the Devil Fruit user lose his strength. It is also a very big weakness for them. Fortunately, even in Ascalante, the Magic Sealing Stone is a very scarce and controlled mineral, not to mention that there is no Magic Sealing Stone in this world.
“Damn it!! Where on earth did that Crocodile go?!”
Luffy got up from the ground and just complained when he heard a sudden sound of breaking air behind him. By the time he realized it, it was too late. A ten-handed person pressed heavily against his chest and pressed him against the cage, and he was freed again in an instant.
"Luffy?!" ×2
"It's you?! Smoking man..."
Smoker showed no shame for his sneak attack. He just bit two cigars and said coldly: "Since Crocodile is not here, I can only arrest you, Straw Hat Boy!"
“But… Damn it…”
