Chapter 227 Devil Fruit Experiment
"Miss Wednesday, be careful, the other party is the pirate hunter who rejected our Baroque Studio's solicitation..."
"I see. You actually dared to reject the invitation from our Baroque Workshop. Looks like I have to teach you a lesson!"
Mr. 9 and Princess Vivi finished their conversation in unison, which made Uchiha Feiyu couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Before Usopp next to him could explain anything, the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand had already been unsheathed.
Mr. 9 felt a chill on his scalp after hearing the sound of whooshing. The crown on his head fell to the ground with a snap and broke into two halves. The cut section was extremely smooth and symmetrical on both sides, as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Mr. 9 froze for a moment, then reached out a hand and touched his scalp. After making sure that his head was not cut open, the serious expression on his face turned into a flattering smile:
"Um... Lord Zoro, I'm not that familiar with Barlotte Studio. Can we reconcile?"
Uchiha Feiyu slowly sheathed the Sandai Kitetsu sword and said calmly:
"First of all, my name is Uchiha Touha, not Zoro, and I don't have green hair or a headscarf!!"
"Second, whether you are familiar with Barlotte Studio is your business, but I think your companion looks a little familiar."
Companions!? Mr.9 took a step back, walked to Princess Weiwei, and asked in a low voice:
"Miss Wednesday, do you know this guy in front of you?"
Princess Weiwei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the corner of her mouth twitched:
"How could I know such a powerful master...Haha, maybe he recognized the wrong person!"
Oh no, oh no, oh no. I haven’t been in public much since I joined Barlotte Studio. Could it be that... the other party is someone who has seen me before?
If this identity were to be exposed...it would be really bad!
However, what you fear will come true. Just when Princess Weiwei's smile was a little forced, Uchiha Feiyu spoke directly:
"Miss Wednesday? Haha, I don't know about any agent of Barot Studio, but you look like the heir to Alabasta, Princess Vivi, the daughter of King Kosa!"
“Wha…what!!”
Mr.9 was stunned, his eyes bulging, his mouth wide open, and he looked at his companions with an expression of disbelief:
"You...you are the princess of Alabasta!! No way! My partner is actually a real princess!"
Mr.9 often wears a crown and looks like a king. Although he looks more like a monkey in a crown, it is obvious that this guy aspires to be a king or a prince.
Mr. 9 was stunned when he suddenly heard that his companion was actually a real princess and would become a queen in the future.
“What a joke… How could I be the princess of Alabasta? A princess wouldn’t work as an agent at Baroque Works, would she?”
Weiwei's face was a little pale. She smiled stiffly twice and tried hard to explain.
"Don't be silly, little girl. I don't know why you came to Baroque Works to be an agent, but you didn't even want to destroy your own appearance. You just put on some makeup and came here to be an undercover agent... Haha, you really think others are fools!"
"That is to say, most of the agents in Barlotte's studio are not well educated and don't read newspapers very often. Otherwise, if they had seen your photo in the newspaper, I'm afraid your identity would have been exposed long ago!"
Princess Vivi was speechless after hearing this. Destroying one's own appearance might not be a problem for grown men, but for a little beauty like Princess Vivi, it was impossible for her to make such a decision.
You have to know that when she was preparing to go undercover in the Barlotte Studio, she was only 14 years old. How could a 14-year-old girl in junior high school be so cruel as to ruin her own appearance?
As for the numerous flaws in joining Barlot's Studio... there's no way around it. A major feature of the pirate world is that everyone's IQ is not very high. Not to mention the protagonist Luffy, whose IQ is not necessarily much higher than that of Monkey King. In fact, most people in the entire pirate world are not very smart.
It's not just the people in Barlotte Studio who are stupid. They didn't discover Princess Vivi's identity for two years. Only Robin noticed the clues.
Moreover, Princess Vivi herself is not very smart. She is a princess of a country, and a princess who has been in the newspapers. Yet she just joined the reactionary forces in her country as an undercover agent. Her only disguise is to dress like a little gangster. She can't even dye her hair. This is not something a smart person would do.
After being undercover for two years, he found nothing. After meeting Xiao Feng, even though his characteristics were so obvious, he did not realize that the other party was from Barlotte Studio. It can only be said that this princess has a face of Nami, but actually has an IQ of 1.5 Luffy's level.
Mr.9 scratched his head. He was one of the fools that Uchiha Feiyu mentioned. He had been a partner with Princess Vivi for such a long time, but he didn't actually find any flaws at all.
"Yes, I am Princess Weiwei. What do you want to do? Report me to Baroque Works?"
Princess Weiwei finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure anymore and admitted her identity. While speaking, she also took out a chain lock from her sleeve, which was her weapon.
Although she felt it was useless, the other party chopped off the crown on Mr. 9's head with a knife, but did not hurt Mr. 9's hair. Although the movement was not loud, if you think about it carefully, you will know how advanced the skills required are.
My fighting power is almost the same as Mr. 9. If the opponent can kill Mr. 9 in one blow, it is no problem for him to kill me in one blow. But I still have to show my attitude.
After being surprised for a moment, Mr. 9 saw Princess Vivi's alert expression, and also stood in front of her with two baseball bats - the people in the pirate world are stupid enough, but they are also loyal. In the original work, this guy betrayed Baroque Works because of Princess Vivi, and now facing Uchiha Feiyu, Mr. 9 made the same choice.
"Don't worry, if I really want to do something to you two, you won't have any chance to resist!"
Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and made a flying slash, directly cutting off a small section of the cliff next to him. With the sound of the cliff falling into the sea with a rumbling sound, Mr. 9 and Princess Vivi both dropped their weapons in amazement.
Obviously, compared to cutting the crown without hurting the scalp, this more direct and violent flying slash is more shocking. After seeing this flying slash, the two of them immediately calmed down.
"Okay, let's not talk about other things for now. If I'm not mistaken, you should have a recording pointer in your hand!"
Princess Weiwei nodded very honestly:
"Yes, I have a record pointer of Whiskey Peak in my hand... In addition, I also have a record pointer of Alabasta and a record pointer of a small garden..."
"Very good... Any pointers to the records of Drum Island?"
"Well, I don't have it now, but if I go to Alabasta, most of the record pointers can be taken out." This is true. As one of the largest countries in the Grand Line, Alabasta basically has the record pointers of most of the islands in the Grand Line.
Although there is a serious internal strife in Alabasta now, it is of course easy for Princess Vivi to get some recording pointers.
"Hmm, Alabasta? Never mind, let's go to Whiskey Peak first. I remember that place is the lair of bounty hunters."
"Yes, most of the bounty hunters in Baroque Studio are gathered at Whiskey Peak. After all, the pirate group that just entered the Grand Line is the easiest to deal with..."
Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand, interrupting what Princess Weiwei was about to say, and said:
"Okay, in that case, our first stop should be the base of this Baroque Studio!"
"It just so happens that I need some more materials, so I can go there to replenish them."
"Uh... can I ask you something? Mr. Feiyu, where did you get all this information? Also, do you know the boss behind the Baroque Studio?"
Now Princess Vivi didn’t know much about Uchiha Feiyu, and didn’t dare to ask him to help Alabasta. She just wanted to ask the boss of Baroque Works and judge Uchiha Feiyu’s position from there.
Uchiha Feiyu immediately saw what Princess Weiwei was thinking, and he had nothing to hide:
"It's easy to guess who the boss of Baroque Studio is. How many strong people are there in the whole of Alabasta? Except for the Shichibukai, no one else is qualified to be the boss of this behind-the-scenes organization!"
As soon as these words came out, Princess Vivi and Mr. 9 almost knelt down again. There was nothing they could do as the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea was too scary.
Not to mention that Crocodile has been fighting pirates in Alabasta for so many years, and his strength has been fully demonstrated. He is known as the king of the desert in the desert area. He can easily create a sandstorm and destroy millions of troops. It would be strange if these two people were not afraid.
"It turns out...it turns out to be that Shichibukai..."
"Really? Mr. Shaklockfar, hasn't he always been the hero of Alabasta?"
Mr. 9 was full of emotion, Princess Weiwei was even a little bit unconvinced, but Uchiha Feiyu showed a mocking look on his face:
"Yes, a famous pirate, a Shichibukai with great connections, who has nothing better to do than to help Alabasta solve its problems and act as a hero for Alabasta - what do you think he is doing this for?"
Why? What else could it be? Princess Vivi is smarter than Luffy after all. Born in the royal family, she is also sufficiently vigilant in this regard:
"Could it be... that he wants to steal Alabasta?"
"Well... although it's not his real purpose, it's almost the same!"
Uchiha Feiyu did not explain too much about Pluto, the main text of world history and so on, which would only make things more complicated. It would be better to just go with the principle that Princess Vivi thought Crocodile wanted to steal Alabasta.
What do you mean by almost? What is the conspiracy of the Shichibukai and what is his real purpose? Please explain it clearly!
Princess Vivi had many doubts in her heart, but looking at Uchiha Feiyu's expression, she didn't dare to ask. Anyway, now she knew who the enemy was, Princess Vivi just needed to defeat the opponent!
Well, after thinking about it carefully, Princess Vivi discovered that the entire Alabasta seemed to be unable to directly confront the power of Shaklockfall. Oh no, it's over.
"Okay, stop talking so much and take us to Whiskey Peak!"
Uchiha Feiyu urged, and took the two back to the Golden Merry, pulled up their small boat, set sail, and left the Twin Gorge.
On the Golden Merry, Uchiha Feiyu touched his chin and looked at the user of the Vulture Fruit who was soaked in the bucket of water. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out a hand.
He pressed his palm on the head of the now powerless Vulture Fruit user. In an instant, the Vulture Fruit user's eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and the blood in his body gushed out.
The magic power of the blood nerves formed again in Uchiha Feiyu's body, but this time Uchiha Feiyu activated his own domineering aura and began to slowly contact the magic power of the blood nerves. Although he could still feel the pressure of the world's rules, the speed at which the magic power disappeared was more than ten times slower.
The domineering aura and the magical power were not completely integrated, but were forcibly squeezed together. They were still clearly separated, but vaguely, the domineering aura seemed to have undergone some special changes due to the influence of the magical power.
Uchiha Feiyu didn't care about these special changes. After discovering that the speed at which his magic power disappeared had slowed down, all his attention was focused on the user of the Vulture Fruit. He finally felt the strange soul in this user's body.
With a casual pull, Uchiha Feiyu finally pulled out the soul of the devil fruit user, but the soul was divided into two parts, one part was the image of the devil fruit user, and the other part looked like a vulture with some strange patterns on it.
"That vulture-like soul should be the devil fruit... Who should I find to conduct the experiment?"
Turning his head and looking around, Uchiha Feiyu's eyes immediately focused on a lion dozing on the deck.
The lion Li Ben, who was caught on the boat by Uchiha Feiyu, was originally dozing off. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart and his body trembled. He raised his head and saw Uchiha Feiyu standing in front of him with a strange smile on his lips.
The lion's hair stood up, and he turned around and tried to run away, but Uchiha Feiyu grabbed his tail with one hand:
"Come on, little lion, today I'm going to give you a blessing. I'm going to use ordinary animal seeds to turn a lion into a vulture!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the piece of devil fruit soul in Uchiha Feiyu's hand was slapped into the body of Lion Liki.
The lion Liki howled miserably, then froze for a moment, not noticing any changes in himself, and there was a sudden bit of cuteness in his eyes.
The next moment, its majestic lion mane fell off, revealing an ugly bald neck.
