Chapter 78 - 78 - Unknown Devil Fruit!
"Unfortunately, your offer is not half as tempting to me, and I want more than just the devil fruit you have..."
"So you two will go down here and scout the hell for Doflamingo, and later will send the members of your 'family' one by one, so don't be afraid of missing them since they will join you later. That I promised you."
Even big powerhouses like Whitebeard and Rayleigh have been offended by him, will he still fear Doflamingo?
So he immediately demonstrated his determination with two strikes of the Desert Blade!
Gladius also understood that today was not going to be a good day and that even he and Señor might die here.
But even if he were to die in battle, he would make his enemies pay!
"Full Body Blast!"
A Deidara-like self-destructing move blew up the entire castle, and Will's two strikes of the Desert Sword were ineffective. .
"Let's die together!"
"Demolition-Rock 'Super Spectacular'!"
Gladius started touching the ground or wall with both hands in different places.
Will knew in his heart that this move was still more powerful than that self-destruct move!
So he ran out of the castle without any hesitation and then decisively chose to release all the sand from the inner space of his Infinity Gauntlet.
"Sandstorms!"
This move is really tyrannical, since even after the formation of the sandstorm is complete, it becomes uncontrollable, and it might involve both the enemy and his allies.
With the addition of a large amount of sand, an extremely powerful sandstorm was formed in no time at all, marching towards the castle!
And by this time Gladius' final move was complete!
"Explosion!"
Rumble...!
The entire castle was infused with Gladius power, directly forming a huge mushroom cloud!
The sandstorm swept by the fire and kept growing itself, and from a distance it was spectacular!
Will only raise one wall of wax after another to block the aftereffects of the huge explosion and protect Nami and others from harm.
In this environment, the candle, which was afraid of high temperature, could not play much role, so Will took the opportunity to take advantage of Snow Mini devil fruit to reduce everyone to a small size to let Will get away from the scene.
The series of explosions lasted a full 5 minutes, and the area around the castle was levelled to the ground!
Pirates who are killing each other didn't survive as they are also near the castle as many of them died, and although some survive, it's just a matter of time before they die.
After putting Nami and the others in a relatively safe place, Will turned around and rushed back.
As the flaming sandstorm rushed towards the sea, a crater with a radius of tens of meters appeared in front of his eyes, along with a tattered Gladius and a severely wounded and unconscious Señor Pink, who had used his last strength to 'dive' into the ground but was still blown up half dead.
His last resort failed to injure his opponent. Instead, he was almost caught in the flames and was torn apart by the sandstorm, but Gladius still staggered to his feet.
"Blast projectile!"
He was still making his last struggle.
When Will came to him unharmed, Gladius sat on the ground and laughed.
"Kill me, the young master will surely avenge me!"
"I'll be waiting for you down there!"
Swish! Swish!
Will swung out two sand blades that resulted in the deaths of the two Cadre, and even at his dying state, Gladius blew himself as he wanted the devil fruit that was in his possession to also explode to let Will lose his chance to obtain it!
After the last sound of the explosion disappeared, Will reached out his right hand to the two corpses...
A moment later, two Paramecia Devil Fruits were received by Will as he put them into his infinity gauntlet space.
"It's a pity that I didn't get the other devil fruit."
Will didn't think that the Devil Fruit used as 'bait' could still be unharmed in the big explosion and flaming sandstorm, so he was ready to leave.
At least there were two gains, right?
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, the ruins in front of him suddenly collapsed, which immediately attracted his attention.
"There's actually a basement this big and it's intact after what happened?"
Go in or not?
Will's interest was pique, and being able to survive a part of this big explosion is enough to show how solid the basement was built, but that's all.
Maybe the 'decoy' was placed in the basement?
Although feeling uncomfortable, Will still jumps down directly.
After he reached the bottom, Will saw a lot of treasures and artworks that were destroyed and lost their original value, and it made him feel very distressed. Otherwise, with this much treasure, he can attend Nami's show again! Or should I bring Robin with me?
It's heartbreaking and suffocating!
Will waved his hand and stored away the scattered and deformed gold characters and some intact gems, which was better than nothing.
He then began to clean up the collapsed basement while looking for the devil fruit that might be here, until he found a grey but intact stone box.
"This material... a seafloor?"
Will picked it up and found a hint of familiarity, it's exactly the same feeling he got from the Jitte that Smoker gave him!
So he immediately got excited and used the candle fruit to simulate the key, and then opened the box made of seafloor stone with ease.
In terms of shaping, the candle fruit, which is not afraid of seawater or sea stones, is really useful!
After opening it, a black, devil fruit just lay there quietly!
I think it was the work of Gladius and Señor Pink who had taken this place and found the basement with a large amount of private treasures, and then conveniently placed the devil fruit stored in the sea stone box here, and waited to leave.
In his final explosion, Gladius probably wanted to destroy his basement to prevent Will from getting it.
But he had overestimated his own ability and underestimated the sturdiness of the seafloor stone.
Now it was still a bargain for Will!
"It looks like it's supposed to be a paramecia devil fruit, but what ability is it?"
Will did not hurry back, as he directly took out the Devil Fruit Illustration Guide and started to compare it, but after going through the entire Illustration Guide, he did not find the fruit's appearance, it seems that it should still be a fruit with unknown ability.
No wonder Doflamingo would use this Devil Fruit as bait to attract many pirates to kill each other, it must be that if the final winner ate this fruit, and the ability showed great potential, their 'Family' will have another strong cadre, but if it is particularly weak devil fruit, then it's a pity. That's all!
This is what you called a business that won't lose money!
But I guess that the person who came up with this plan would never have imagined that it would attract such an unconventional variable as Will!
Should I check out the abilities of this Devil Fruit?
Unlike others who needed to eat it to know the ability of the unrecorded Devil Fruit, Will only needed to temporarily disarm a fruit on his Infinity Gauntlet, and then put this one on.
Although it takes a minute to disarm a demon fruit and can't be done in the middle of a tense battle, but now that the enemy is gone, there are no worries.
