General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 818 Sun God Nika

In the broken world of singing, the sudden sound of drums resounded through heaven and earth, dispelling the darkness, stopping the devil's music, and echoing in everyone's ears.

At this moment, the people whose minds were affected by the Devil's Sixth Movement seemed to be saved by the sound of the drums and briefly awakened from their confused state.

"Where does this drum sound come from?"

People were surprised and began to look around.

"No, this is not the sound of drums! Could this be...?" Shanks' heart was shaken, as if he had thought of something. He turned his head suddenly and looked towards Barrett's real body.

There, is the source of the drum sound.

Beckman, Aokiji, Issho, Zephyr, Kizaru, all the top strong men, all looked over.

Even the music demon Totumjika and the mad Barrett stopped what they were doing and looked towards where the sound came from.

On Totumjika's face, a dozen compound eyes moved, his ferocious mouth opened and twitched, and he muttered a name that was so old that he almost forgot it.

"Joey Boy..."

Barrett, on the other hand, lowered his head and looked at his chest with three numb faces.

The sound of the drums came from his chest and abdomen, dull and powerful.

On his chest, where countless buds were wriggling, the dark red flesh was beating and bulging again and again, forming the outline of a heart.

Beckman breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of anticipation appeared on his charred face, and he murmured, "You're right Shanks, this is not the sound of drums..."

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head again, denying his own statement.

"No, no, this is indeed the sound of drums. This is the drum of liberation! It is the heartbeat of the sun god Nika as recorded in the legend!"

"When the drum of liberation sounds, the sun god Nika will return and shine his light on the earth, bringing freedom and liberation to the people."

"Shanks! Luffy... is still alive! He's awakened!"

As Beckman's voice fell, as if in response to his words, the dark red flesh on Barrett's beating chest suddenly softened and turned into elastic rubber. A familiar face emerged from the surface of the rubber skin and continued to bulge.

A big hand stretched out from Barrett's body, opened a palm with more than a dozen fingers, and grabbed his chest, as if trying to pull the face out of his body.

However, a strange and bizarre scene occurred.

When his palm touched the rubberized part of the chest, the huge palm was also assimilated and turned into resilient rubber.

And the face of Luffy that was protruding on his body moved from his chest, and then appeared on the back of his big hand, and continued to bulge outward.

First the face, then the whole head, then the neck, shoulders, and upper body.

Luffy's body emerged from the back of Barrett's hand little by little. His lower body, which had been assimilated into disgusting flesh buds, was restored to its original state. Even his torn clothes became intact, and an intact straw hat was hanging behind his neck.

He closed his eyes and stood on the back of Barrett's hand. The sound of drums echoing between heaven and earth was constantly coming from his heart, getting louder and more urgent.

Barrett seemed to be disgusted by the drumbeats. The three faces opened their mouths and roared at the same time, and the arms dancing on their bodies grabbed towards Luffy one after another.

Luffy still had his eyes closed, his body floating like willow catkins, captured by huge arms, and he flexibly drilled out from the swarming arms.

Occasionally, his body would inevitably be caught by Barrett's big hand, but the strange phenomenon before happened again. Luffy's body seemed to have merged into the flesh and blood of Barrett's palm. After his flesh and blood were assimilated into rubber, he drilled out from the back of his hand again and bounced into the sky.

"Boom! Boom!"

The drum beats were still ringing as Luffy's body flew into the air. His hair quickly turned from black to snow-white and wisps of white ribbons appeared on his body, like a white cloud of flames.

The corners of his mouth curled up, his hands and feet danced, white ribbons on his body fluttered, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Under the gazes of everyone, he danced with his soft and boneless body, his eyes curved, his mouth grinned, and he let out a weird laugh that resounded through heaven and earth.

"Nikanikanikanikanikanika..."

"Luffy!"

The worry in Shanks' eyes was finally put aside after he saw Luffy successfully awaken and resurrect.

Then he immediately thought of Uta again, turned around and looked where Totmjika was.

"Uta!"

Shanks was immediately shocked and angry.

Because at this moment, Uta had been captured from Totumjika's feet by Yun Que at the risk of his life.

While most people were shocked and dazed by Luffy's awakening, only Hibari remained indifferent and silently did the most right thing.

No one knew that this scene, which seemed shocking to most people, was already known to Yun Que several years ago!

On many nights in the past, the young man she was attached to had confessed to her the thoughts buried deep in his heart and told her many stories about the world.

Those different kinds of people, those things that happened all over the world, those secrets that have not been circulated in the world.

At first, Yun Que didn't believe it and thought that Rorschach was just making up other people's past and future.

But as time passed, and many people and many things were verified one by one, Skylark was confused.

Why did Rorschach know those things?

He said that Shirahoshi is Poseidon, the king of the sea, and can control all sea kings.

He said that the real Pluto battleship is not in Alabasta, but in Wano Country.

He said that Straw Hat Luffy is the Joy Boy of this era, the sun god Nika, and the savior of destiny.

Now, all the things he said have been verified one by one.

At this moment, the white figure laughing strangely in the sky, isn't it the image of the straw hat boy who turned into the sun god in the story he told a few years ago?

Skylark had once panicked about this.

She was afraid, afraid that the world she lived in would be a story told by Rorschach, a dream, a dream like the world of Gege before her.

But later, as time passed, she let it go.

Just like what Rorschach said on that night in the Water City when his true feelings were revealed, no matter whether this world is real or fake, at least the feelings between them are real, their experiences are real, what they want to do and the ideals in their hearts are real.

"Manshili, treat her injuries. We need to wake her up and let her unlock this world."

Hibari called Mansherry, who had followed Kizaru from the headquarters, and asked Mansherry to use her healing ability to heal the wound on Uta's body that was pierced by Enelu.

Next to Mansherry, Coby looked up blankly, looking at Luffy who was laughing in the sky far away, with confusion on his face.

Luffy, what are you laughing at?
Is there anything funny?

Coby looked around and saw blood mist filling the sky and earth. It was a nightmarish scene formed when the bodies of thousands of innocent people exploded.

He looked towards the dark place again. Over there, there was an old man who was struggling and in pain in his heart. He gave up resistance, gave up his precious life, and chose death.

Why can I still laugh at this time?

So many people died here.

"Vice Admiral Garp is dead! Luffy! Your grandfather is dead! Why are you still laughing at a time like this? Is this really you?"

Coby's voice was choked with sobs, as if he had been betrayed. Hot tears kept flowing from his eyes along with his hoarse voice, blurring the world in front of his eyes.

"Is this Nika? The sun god who can save the world as mentioned in stories and legends."

Zefa was also watching, but his face didn't look very excited.

As a high-ranking naval general of the old era, Zephyr, who has rich experience, has of course heard of the legend about the sun god Nika.

But he didn't know that after the rubber fruit awakened, he could transform into the sun god Nika.

Zefa always thought that it was just a legend, a god made up by people who wanted to seek redemption and hope.

There are many sects in the world that believe in gods, and there are many similar gods.

Looking at Luffy who kept laughing, the law enforcement officer shook his head, a little disappointed.

"Is this really the Sun God Nika who can save the world? Why does he look so... so stupid? Just like those members of the Beasts Pirates who ate artificial devil fruits and then failed, and turned into laughers who can only laugh." However, after he said this slightly sarcastic remark, a rebuttal voice came from the side.

"No, this is what people expect of the Sun God. No matter what kind of difficulties he is in, he can face them with a smile, infect the people around him with an optimistic attitude, and bring laughter to the world."

Zefa was stunned and turned to look at Kizaru who had his hands in his pockets.

He was very surprised.

"Borsalino, I didn't expect you to believe in this kind of thing."

Kizaru did not respond to Zephyr. He took a deep look at Luffy who was dancing and laughing in the sky, then shifted his gaze to Eneel who was still in the air.

"Is Enel controlled by Totumjika? He actually attacked us. What should we do? Should we catch him?"

Zefa thought about it and shook his head slightly, "It can't be done in a short time. Enel's current strength is no less than you and me. Since he didn't move, just ignore him. Skylark has captured that Uta. Before the problem is completely solved, let's prepare for the next surprise attack from Red Hair and his men."

On the other side, Yixiao felt the increasingly powerful vitality coming from Luffy, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Is the legendary sun god Nika Luffy?" He looked around, darkness once again emerged from Barrett's body, and he had many doubts in his heart.

Can Luffy now really save this devastating situation?

Shanks saw Uta being captured by Hibari and was about to rush over to snatch Uta back.

But at this moment, large patches of darkness emerged from Barrett's body again, and wisps of black air spread towards Luffy who was laughing in the sky.

Darkness filled the air and a huge suction force was generated. Luffy, who was dancing and laughing strangely, screamed. His body was pulled longer by the suction force, like a long ribbon, falling straight from the air and falling into Barrett's open hand.

"Luffy!" Yixiao came back to his senses from the brief shock and rushed over to rescue Luffy.

Barrett grabbed Luffy and threw his body heavily to the ground.

"Wow!" Luffy screamed, his eyeballs and teeth flew out, and his body fell on the broken ground like a meteor.

However, the broken earth suddenly turned into a huge trampoline, full of elasticity, the next moment.

As Luffy fell, the ground caved in, like a spring compressed to its limit, and suddenly rebounded, bouncing Luffy high into the air and shooting him towards Barrett.

In mid-air, Luffy's right hand spun dozens of times in the air like a windmill, and punched Barrett in front of him. His fist whistled through the air, burning a large amount of flames, like a meteorite falling from the sky, with an indomitable momentum, and the attack wrapped in the domineering color shone on his fist without any instruction.

With a loud bang, Barrett's huge and bloated body was hit by Luffy's fist, and his chest collapsed. Luffy's fist sank deeply into it and hit Barrett's body, leaving a clear fist mark on his back, as if Barrett's body had been pierced through by a punch.

However, Barrett acted as if nothing had happened, with no expression on his face. A huge arm was connected to his right shoulder and slammed down towards Luffy.

A white shock wave and a domineering aura that was even stronger and more violent than Luffy's emerged. With one punch, the atmosphere cracked, the void shattered, and the explosive impact squeezed Luffy below and deformed his body.

He seemed to have turned into a piece of plasticine, spreading out under Barrett's fist, sticking to the surface of Barrett's fist, and his face, which was almost squeezed into a flat surface, made an extremely exaggerated and absurd expression of pain, and let out a distorted scream.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"Nikanikanikanika~~"

He shouted in pain, and soon a strange laugh broke out of his mouth. As he laughed, his body, which was flattened by Barrett's punch, quickly recovered to its original shape. His two legs danced like a windmill, and he flew up from the ground and ran into the sky, as if an invisible transparent staircase appeared under his feet.

Behind him, there was a gravitational force like a black hole, constantly pulling on his body, stretching Luffy's upper body backwards, but Luffy's lower body was still running forward.

He gritted his teeth, which made a clattering sound. "I'm going to be sucked away. Hurry, run faster!"

He tried his best, and finally, the upper body that had been stretched to the limit snapped back. Under the huge inertia, Luffy's body curled up into a ball, rolled forward, and quickly escaped from Barrett's dark range.

"This ability... is simply too outrageous." Luffy's performance stunned Beckman and others.

Although Beckman knew that the legendary sun god Nika must have extraordinary abilities.

But after witnessing the brief fight between Luffy and Barrett, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He knew very well how terrible Barrett's attack was.

In the previous fight, he, Shanks, Aokiji, and Ichisho were unable to stop Barrett's attack even when they joined forces.

Even if you are hit once by Barrett's attack, your body will suffer severe damage.

However, under Barrett's attack, Luffy endured it and ran away laughing and joking as if nothing had happened.

Recalling the description of the sun god Nika in the story and legend, as long as the drumbeat of liberation continues, the liberated warriors will never die.

He will keep fighting until he leads everyone to victory, liberation, and freedom.

Beckman couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Luffy, who awakened into the Sun God Nika form of the Animal-type Mythical Beast Human-Human Fruit, is really immortal?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Luffy, who was laughing in the sky, was sucked down by Barrett's dark water again.

This time, his body was grabbed by Barrett's arms, which grasped his limbs and head respectively. Like a body being torn apart by five horses, his body was stretched for hundreds of meters and turned into a wide membrane.

"Let me go! Let me go now!" Luffy struggled and twisted, his mouth torn open and he could hardly speak without hearing any sound.

Barrett ignored his shouting. On Reid's face, his eyes were red and two red rays of light flashed.

The next moment, two bloody holes appeared on Luffy's body as he was pulled apart, running through it from front to back.

The blood hole is located on his forehead, which is an absolutely vital point.

Luffy's body shook, the smile on his face froze, the aura on his body quickly dissipated, and even the sound of his heartbeat stopped at this moment.

This sudden change made Beckman, Yixiao and others, who had just relaxed, nervous again.

Several people rushed forward hastily, but before they could get close, Luffy, whose heart had stopped and whose life force was gone, was pierced through the head by Barrett a second ago. His dim eyes lit up again and his heartbeat sounded again.

The corners of his mouth stretched back into a grin, and he let out a weird laugh.

"Nikanikanikanika..."

The two tiny holes on the forehead healed quickly with the heartbeat and soon disappeared.

The stretched body bounced and shrank, and slid away from Barrett's hand. The white flame cloud streamer behind his head was torn off by him. He swung his arm towards the sky, and the white streamer flew into the sky and hung on a white cloud. Luffy grabbed the white streamer connected to the white cloud with one hand, and before Barrett's big hand could grab it, he swung away like a swing, and swung to a height of thousands of meters above the sky.

His right hand stretched backwards, extending for thousands of meters in an instant, and then expanded like a balloon, turning into a giant black fist with a diameter of thousands of meters, wrapped in domineering aura, like an empty island.

His body also enlarged accordingly, becoming a giant standing tall. He laughed and swung his fist as big as an island, smashing it heavily at Barrett below.

Amidst the roar that sounded like the collapse of heaven and earth, the whole world shook violently. The huge and bloated Barrett was twisted and deformed by the huge fist, and exploded with a bang, turning into countless pieces of dark red flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

"Joey Boy!" The moment Barrett's body exploded, a hideous and vicious voice sounded behind Luffy, whose body had become gigantic.

"Who is it? Who is Joy Boy?" Luffy's neck was twisted into a knot. He turned around and looked back in surprise.

Dozens of tentacles covered with bone spurs instantly filled his field of vision, scaring Luffy so much that his eyes popped out.

The tentacles bombarded Luffy's face, hitting him hard in the face, causing his head to spin like a top, his cheeks swelled up, and blood spurted from his nose.

“Ouch, it hurts~”

Luffy cried out in pain, and retracted his huge right hand from the ground. With a snap, he slapped Totumjika who had attacked him, and slapped the ancient demon released by Uta from the air like slapping a fly.

Totemjika's hundred-meter-tall body slammed heavily to the ground, and the ground, which had turned into a trampoline, bounced his body up from the ground.

In the sky, Luffy's body spun rapidly, twisted into a pretzel, and then released, spinning even faster, like a huge rotating cutting blade, spinning down from the air and cutting into the bouncing Totemjika, cutting Totemjika down from the air again, and countless bone spurs on his body were broken and flew away.

"Joey Boy! You're still as annoying as ever!"

Totemjika let out an angry cry, and dozens of tentacles extended from its body and entangled with Luffy. The devil's sixth movement sounded again, and one real note after another blasted into Luffy's body, knocking him far away.

"Luffy! Don't get entangled with those two monsters! Bring Uta back, and let's leave here together!" Shanks rushed towards the navy and shouted from afar.

"Okay~ I'll be right there!" Luffy responded while flying backwards, and his feet turned like wheels, running through the air and rushing towards where Zephyr and the others were.

However, he wanted to leave, but Totumjica and Barrett didn't seem to want to let him go.

Almost at the same time, two inhuman monsters suddenly stood up, and under the shocked and angry gazes of Shanks and others, they waved countless tentacles and huge arms, and smashed down on Luffy who was running towards them.

"boom!"
