Chapter 667
“What the nun told us is that the sacrifice has an unparalleled thirst for blood, and it is the only real source and carrier of thirst, so… as long as we can be sure, then capturing it and guarding it carefully is to curb thirst. The only way to spread in this world.”
With the tone of this narrative, North’s eyes lifted, and then he looked in the direction where Keya came from. With the advantage of his condescending perspective, she could already see the three figures that followed Keya.
“So, before that… if there are people who stand in the way of this great cause, they can only be regarded as necessary victims.”
motive for drinking blood
Blood, this kind of thing makes me stronger, but at the same time, it also becomes a burden on me unknowingly.
On the bed in the room, a woman covered in red fruit had already fallen asleep. Even in her deep sleep, she could still see the abnormal intoxication on her face, and it was like a cursed brand. A tooth mark is clearly visible, there is no doubt that this is Nami’s ‘night snack’ today.
Standing in front of the window in her pajamas, Nami just sighed slightly. As experienced as she is, she has long been aware of this despicable trap contained in the fruit of blood and blood, which is a characteristic that is extremely criticized for human beings— – Addiction.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the blood and blood fruit will make people addicted to blood, but because ‘blood’ itself has the effect of making creatures addictive, just like the animal nature in human bones will make people worship werewolf culture, it can be seen as It is the bloodlust deeply buried in the human body, which makes humans involuntarily addicted to this substance that almost represents life under repeated swallowing.
And the blood-blood fruit with blood as the main resource, it is not surprising that it will make the eater addicted to blood, especially it can make its own ability person get a fully perceptible power improvement from blood sucking, The two natures of pursuing power and instinctive bloodthirsty are stimulated at the same time, and there is almost no one who can completely reject this temptation.
The reason why Nami is able to control herself and not become a bloodthirsty person is because she has already had quite a lot of confrontation experience in the previous social tempering. After all, capitalism itself represents the The extremes of ‘fraud’, ‘bewitchment’, ‘stimulation’, ‘induction’, etc., if there is no solid heart to resist these temptations, it is almost impossible to reach the top in such a game.
Therefore, when she realized that the ability of the blood and blood fruit subconsciously led her to more plundering, Nami instinctively understood this routine. She had already seen this routine and used some of the sweetness to drive customers to work harder. And action, whether or not it’s actually in the customer’s favor, but her instinctive response is to resist and control herself.
That’s why she always carefully controls her blood-sucking behavior on some women who are willing to be bought by money. No one knows better than her that ‘looting’ is the most irrational thing, so even if the blood in the body is thirsty. No matter how much desire makes trouble, she still refuses to completely let go of her control.
“What would happen if the person with the blood and blood fruit ability wasn’t me this time?”
She frowned slightly, Nami’s question was not a whim, but something she gradually felt during this period: the inheritance of human beings is a very fragile, but at the same time, sometimes terrifyingly strong thing , Since there is a material inheritance like the blood drop stone that has continued to the present, is it possible that the influence of this ability person did not stop there?
If this is the case, is it possible for the forces that were left behind to quickly detect the new blood and blood fruit ability?
Unless some people are extremely determined, such as Luffy, or have a sufficient understanding of the stakes, such as Nami. Otherwise, if any ordinary person gets this ability, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the power and inducement contained in this fruit, not to mention that those who have a high probability of getting the Devil Fruit are often ambitious pirates. If these people get blood and blood The ability of the fruit, it is certain that they will quickly become fascinated by the rapidly increasing power, and thus become a monster that only knows how to hunt blood, and such a terrible large-scale blood-sucking incident will inevitably be noticed by the society. Those who are lurking in human society must also know that the ability of this fruit has appeared.
Could it be… is it because of your own restraint that the influence of the Blood and Blood Fruit has not yet triggered the alarm bell in this world? So, let yourself carelessly think that no one in this world will deliberately care about their own strength?
Nami’s red eyes shrank slightly. She didn’t like to infer things without reason. For humans, power and wisdom beyond specifications are themselves the ‘reasons’ for humans to do anything. It has really reached what Nami had speculated, and its traces in human society must be extremely far-reaching, just like Blackbeard will be obsessed with the power of the dark fruit, and even spent more than 20 years lurking in Whitebeard. The pirates finally succeeded in capturing the power of darkness at the cost of killing their friends.
Inferring from this, no one should care about the terrifying ability of the blood and blood fruit, and if there are people who are really looking forward to the appearance of this fruit, what else can they do besides collecting and waiting for the devil fruit? In terms of judgment? Yes… that is undoubtedly the new blood and blood fruit ability person, on the news of a large-scale blood-sucking incident caused by his uncontrollable bloodlust.
It is a pity, however, that so far, apart from the annihilated Dragon Pirates and some small pirates at sea, Nami has not used her abilities to massacre or unrestrained blood-sucking. The elimination of the thief group is not enough to make the whole world pay attention. And her way of obtaining blood is to recruit women in society with money. Most of the other parties will regard her blood-sucking behavior as a way of flirting. Spreading the word about Nami and Nami everywhere, which makes Nami’s thirst for blood, almost not many people really know.
In this way, if those behind the scenes simply used ‘causing large-scale blood-sucking incidents’ as a way to track those with blood-blood abilities, then this would undoubtedly have directly missed Nami. What is certain is that between Nami and these people, whoever discovers the other side earlier will be able to gain more initiative, whether it is good or bad.
Nami doesn’t want to think too much about the world and people’s hearts, but since there have been possible events in the original book that can directly kill the ability person, and then re-condense the fruit they eat, then the ability person himself The life of a person is no longer guaranteed by the particularity of his own abilities, on the contrary, it will become a reminder of fate at times.
But now it seems that if the power of the blood and blood fruit is really ‘biologically contagious’, then, can Keya, who has been recruited, be able to resist this bloodlust?
“Uh… evil…”
Holding her arms weakly, Keya’s body trembled violently. She no longer had the strength to support her body, and in front of her eyes was the huge body of the green ghost Broki, the still-hot blood of the giant. , still gurgling from the body wound. The red blood, combined with the low roar of the surrounding volcanoes, is like the magma of life. It contains life and also contains the danger that seems to be enough to destroy.
“Hey, she looks like a very beautiful little girl, hello~ Can you determine the target now?”
Jindrila couldn’t wait to fall to Keya’s side. She didn’t care who Keya was in front of her, but instinctively understood that her mission was probably about to be completed. After all, the blonde girl in front of her was indeed tempted by blood. Come on, this is already a thirsty patient with an absolute conclusion. As long as you catch it, the reward you can get is absolutely incalculable.
“…No, she hasn’t drank the blood of this giant, so I can’t be completely sure.”
However, North on the other side lightly poured a ladle of cold water on Jindrella, which made Jindrella, who had already tried to grab Keya’s hair, instinctively stopped, and then turned back to argue: “But You have also seen her ghost appearance, and her virtue from smelling blood, isn’t it enough to judge?”
“…no…”
It was still a cold answer. Noth sounded a light and soft voice line, but there was no doubt that it revealed an insurmountable meaning, which made Jindrila’s thin eyebrows jump involuntarily, even if she knew the identity of the other party. , but this kind of anger that was suppressed again and again made Jindrella feel quite impatient.
“Ha~ it’s not easy, if that’s the case, as long as she drinks the blood, it can prove it, right?”
Viciously reaching out to grab Keya’s chin, Jindrila’s movements were no longer as noble as she pretended to be before, but rudely and disgustedly dragged Keya to the pool of blood beside Broki in front of her: “Come! You disgusting Little Bitchi! Open your mouth and drink it well!”
“Ugh~!”
The pain of being torn at the root of her hair made Keya’s completely red eyes recover a little bit. The blond girl was obviously instinctively aware of something. When she was roughly pushed to the ground by Jindrila, Keya almost closed it tightly. mouth. Although the thirst for blood in her body prompted her to drink the blood in front of her, it was obvious that even if Keya didn’t know the danger of the blood-blood fruit, she already understood that blood-sucking was the behavior of a monster, and she was absolutely unwilling to do so. become a monster.
“Damn! What are you waiting for?! Hurry up! Drink it obediently!”
Feeling the anger of being disobedient, Jindrila didn’t pretend to be at all, but raised her foot and kicked Keya’s back, but this kind of beating did not make Keya give in at all. The blond girl just bit her lip stubbornly and refused to bow her head, which made Jindrella even more impatient, and her kicks and abuse became more forceful.
“…”
North stared at Jindrila’s beating behavior towards Keya, and her eyes didn’t change, just as she said before: as long as Keya doesn’t drink the blood, then she won’t Make Koya a target. But again, she didn’t mind what purpose Keya was drinking that blood for.
triangular fruit
“Death! Buckshot Star!”
With the signature sound, a sharp lead bullet flew out of the woods, and the target was Jindrella behind North. This sudden attack was precise and tricky. The lady’s hat on top was directly knocked off by the lead star, and Jindrila, who was still in shock, turned her head back in anger and hastily, and her tone was sharp like a shrew: “Who?!”
North didn’t respond to Jindrila’s attack at all. She didn’t care what happened to her so-called teammate. She just caught the direction of the attack at the first time. Obviously, right It’s more important for her to identify those who have the guts to get in the way.
“Cut! Questions like this are my lines! Who are you, and why do you do such a thing?”
Usopp, who gritted his teeth, slowly emerged from the woods, and the long nose clearly knew that the current situation did not allow her to continue to hide, not to mention that Keya behind Jindrella was in an extremely painful situation, which also made her fundamentally. There is no way to keep calm.
“You scumbag! How dare you…”
The furious Jindrella subconsciously wanted to take a step forward to speak, but North, who was beside her, raised his arm indifferently to block her way, and interrupted her nonsense by the way, staring at Usopp lightly, The girl in the nun’s uniform also said: “As a person on a mission, I will answer your question. We are the people who protect this world. In order to prevent thirst from spreading in this world, we have been preparing for centuries. .And now, your companion is a highly suspected target of suffering from thirst, please understand and cooperate with our work.”
North’s polite and cold answer caused Usopp to lose his mind for a while, but after a while, the long-nosed sniper came back to his senses, and then clenched his teeth and said in a low voice: “You said you would cooperate with your work. , what are you going to do?”
“It’s very simple… If your companion is indeed a thirst patient, then we will take her back to watch and treat her to make sure that the thirst does not spread in this world. And if, she is not… So I apologize in advance for disturbing you.”
Looking at Keya on the side, North’s eyes didn’t have any extra look, it was purely like looking at an item: “And the basis for judgment, fifteen minutes. If she can insist on not drinking before the blood completely coagulates. The blood of this giant, then she is not the sacrifice we are looking for.”
“Of course~! If she drank even a drop of blood during this time! Then she is our target~! She needs to be taken back and dealt with properly by us, and those of you who dare to obstruct… no, yes Garbage pirates, you all need to pay the price for getting in the way~!”
Picking up her lady’s hat and putting it on again, Jindrila’s tone was also full of vicious sarcasm. Obviously, she had indeed noticed the pirate flag on the Straw Hat Pirates before. As one of the principles of this world, hang it. The pirate flag is the pirate infallible, and it belongs to the marine garbage that does not have any mistakes when directly attacking when meeting.
Bang~! !
But at this moment, a crisp gunshot suddenly sounded in the woods, and the target of the lead bullet, which was much faster than the lead star, was still Jindrella, who was talking nonsense. It was Nuo who came after Usopp. Qi Gao!
As a navy, Nuoqi’s high marksmanship naturally does not need to worry. The target of the lead bullet is no longer a harmless part this time, but is aimed at Jindrella’s deadly forehead. With the crisp sound of the iron symphony, the lead bullet shot by Nuoqigao stopped just a few centimeters in the air in front of Jindrila, and what blocked it was a triangular translucent air block!
Obviously, it is impossible for the air to naturally change into this posture, so what it shows is undoubtedly a possibility! Devil Fruit Powers!
“Looks like… this group of **** chose to hinder me, then, North, you have no reason to hinder me this time, right?”
Biting her lip viciously, Jindrella was sent here, obviously not just to be the company of North, even if she doesn’t show her ability in front of people, it doesn’t mean she really has no ability .
“Sure enough… the devil fruit ability…”
On the other hand, Nuoqigao in the jungle gritted his teeth slightly, and an uncontrollable sense of powerlessness also emerged spontaneously. Obviously, it is not without reason that she chose to retire from the navy. The single power of this world has become extremely unbalanced due to the existence of Devil Fruits and various martial arts that exceed the limit. As an ordinary person, if there is no correct guidance, no matter how hard she works, she will not be able to become a real strong person, and on the contrary, the harder she trains, the more she finds that there is a big gap between herself and Dusky and Smog. This despair is also one of the reasons why she retired.
