Devil Fruit Ability

() Thunderclouds have existed above the city of 'XX' for more than a month.

At the beginning, the people in the city were happy with the sudden appearance of large thunderclouds.Although there are many inconveniences during thunderstorms, for example, buildings without lightning rods must turn off computers or something, but at least in the hot summer, the thunderclouds that cover the entire city make the temperature in the city extremely cold. Not that uncomfortable.

But everything has a limit, and so do the thunderclouds over the city.

If it was just a day or two, maybe the residents in the city were okay, but it has been like this for more than a month. Faced with such a vision, the people in the city became a little flustered.

Especially among the thunder clouds, there will be a few thunder flashes from time to time...

If it weren't for the fact that the lightning in the thunderclouds hadn't struck too much during this period of time, the number of residents in the city would have been reduced by at least half...

However, more than a month has passed, and from a certain point of view, the residents of the city are somewhat accustomed to the current situation.

"It's not bad, at least it's not as hot as other places..."

In a community in the city, an old man who was resting in a gazebo for people to rest said a little at ease after shaking his fan.

Beside him, two old men of the same age were inseparable from a game of chess.

At this time in previous years, the temperature in the city has long been unbearably high, but this year because of the thunder cloud, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

"General!"

After placing a chess piece in the most appropriate position, an old man who was playing chess said.

"It's not necessarily a good thing. My son works in the power company. I heard from them that because of the thundercloud, the probability of power failure in the city has at least doubled. My son often has to work overtime and has no time. Come here to see me..."

"Your son didn't come to see you very much..." He muttered a few words in a low voice, and the old man on the opposite side thought carefully about how to make a comeback.

Although the current situation on the chessboard is somewhat unfavorable to him, it is not that there is no chance of a comeback. As long as the opportunity is seized, there may be hope of victory...

But at this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky...

While the old man in the gazebo was startled, he raised his head involuntarily and looked at the thundercloud above his head.

Not only them, because of the loud noise, almost everyone in the city looked up.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, the currents in the thunderclouds kept surging and became stable. Just when the people on the ground thought that these currents would turn into lightning strikes, they became quiet Get up, and gradually, the thundercloud that has enveloped the city for more than a month began to dissipate...

"He succeeded!"

Standing on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the thunderclouds gradually dissipating in the sky, Elaine said in surprise.

Standing behind Eleanor, Lesa and Katerina also showed joy on their faces———Only Lin, still sitting on the sofa watching TV, looked indifferent to everything...

Although both Katerina, Lesa, and even Elaine have "retired", but no one has ever made such a big movement like Yan Shao, let alone more than a month at a time. Look at the Almost no one is not worried about that layer of black cloud...

just now…

Anyway, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Not long after the black clouds cleared, Eleanor's cell phone rang.

The call was naturally from Yan Shao.

In the smelted metal room, because of the abundance of thunder elements, Yan Shao's clothes had already been wiped out———Of course, Yan Shao also considered this problem in advance, so he once bought a set of clothes with the money of "Ascension to Heaven". Put on your clothes and find a safe place to put them together with your phone.

In this way, after the 'retreat' is successful, he can return to the front of people in the first time, instead of being embarrassed by the problem of streaking...

As for hiding the mobile phone, of course it is not to be wiped out by the thunder element like clothes...

Of course, what Yan Shao was worried about at the beginning was only that the phone would malfunction.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Ever since he got the [Thunderbolt Fruit], Yan Shao’s cell phone has often been damaged, and it’s usually because of his ability. Naturally, I will not forget the lessons I have learned in the past...

"Fortunately, there are enough calls in the mobile phone, and there will be no downtime..."

Standing at the top of a high-rise building in the city, the naked Yan Shao murmured while holding his mobile phone.

Just now, he had reported safety to Eleanor and the others.

"Then, let's quickly change into clothes..."

Saying so, Yan Shao took out all the clothes hidden here before the 'retreat' and changed them back on.

Because it was packaged and hidden very well at the beginning, the clothes themselves have not been damaged in any way, and there will be no problem of people coming and the clothes disappearing—————————Because the other places are normal human beings. Unreachable, at least the kind that cannot be reached by conventional means.

As for unconventional means...

Who would rummage around in an uninteresting place when they are bored...

Unless that person saw Yan Shao hiding things with his own eyes, but under Yan Shao's biological radar, it is impossible for anyone to find him without Yan Shao's knowledge...

Yan Shao's hidden clothes are no different from his original one, a relatively simple T-shirt and a pair of black trousers, simple and ordinary...

This is probably Yan Shao's favorite...

After getting dressed neatly, Yan Shao finally got rid of the embarrassment of running naked.

Although the place where he is standing is basically where everyone can see his current situation, but even in broad daylight, with all the key parts of his body exposed, it still makes him feel a little embarrassed...

What's more...

Although Yan Shao's flying speed is fast, it doesn't mean that his metal house can hide his figure...

Although Yan Shao has tried his best to make the house fly as fast as he can control, but Yan Shao believes that many people in this city will still see the scene of the metal house landing on the roof of the building...

and…

Yan Shao seems to be able to vaguely hear the sound of Jing cars coming from a distance...

"The efficiency is quite fast..."

Saying so, Yan Shao raised his right hand.

"Is this the power after the breakthrough..."

Yan Shao could feel how surging the energy in his body was.

Putting up the index finger on the right hand, it didn't take much effort, and a little light shone on Yan Shao's fingertips.

【Lei Ying】

Although after [Thunder Transformation], Yan Shao can also use [Thunder Ying], and the power will never be inferior.But [Lei Hua] is a means to stimulate the body's potential after all, so the more energy consumed, the greater the burden on the body, especially the move of [Lei Ying] must not be used too much.

So it might be okay to bully ordinary *level ability users, but when dealing with masters of the same level, Yan Shao will always feel a little powerless.

And when facing a higher-level master, the opponent at this level will probably choose Yan Shao as the breakthrough target first, after all, soft persimmons are easy to pinch...

Moreover, recently, it seems that Katerina and Lesa are about to reach the breakthrough stage. If they break through first, Yan Shao's face will not be left at all...

and so…

Fortunately, Yan Shao succeeded...

"Combined with [Leihua] and the power of the ring, even an S-level opponent is not without strength..."

Looking at the ring on his finger, Yan Shao said silently.

The scene of being defeated by Andumari in the Alps battle is still in his mind until now, especially after being held for a long time by Lin.

Even though Rin is his daughter, it's because of this that things are serious...

As a father, he was supposed to protect his daughter, but in the end he was saved by his own daughter...

At least it was a big blow to Yan Shao's fragile self-esteem...

So a breakthrough in strength is also a good recovery for Yan Shao's self-confidence...

"Then, I haven't seen Eleanor and the others for more than a month, and now it's time to go back first..."

Saying so, Yan Shao, dressed neatly, walked to the side of the metal house, and after sticking his right palm on it, the house was soon smelted into a metal car by Yan Shao.

At this time, the Jing car seemed to have reached the bottom of the building, at least the Jing bell above hadn't been moved for a long time.

Walking to the edge of the roof, he looked down at the crowds already gathered below, and after a slight smile, Yan Shao got into the car, and then drove the car to the hotel where Eleanor and the others were currently living.

Just now, Eleanor had told Yan Shao the location of their hotel...

Although Yan Shao is not from this city, and he doesn't know where the hotel is actually located, but after all, this year is no longer the era when you need to ask for directions, so...

"It's here..."

Glancing at the map displayed on the phone screen, Yan Shao turned the flying direction of the metal car...

————————————————————

Leaving aside Yan Shao's side, what happened after driving the car in the direction of the hotel.

Brussels, the capital and largest city of Belgium and the seat of the main administrative body of the European Union, is located in the city of Brussels in the Brussels-Capital Region.In different contexts, Brussels has different connotations.She may represent the city of Brussels, or the Brussels-Capital Region.

Among the three main institutions of the European Union, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers of the European Union are located in Brussels, and another important institution, the European Parliament, also has a branch in Brussels (the whole parliament is in Strasbourg, France), so it has the reputation of the European capital.In addition, the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is also located in Brussels.

It is precisely because of this relationship that [Guardian of Time], as a formal organization, will set up its headquarters in Brussels.

After all, as a formal organization, [Guardian of Time] must always maintain a good relationship with the secular government...

It is precisely because of the good relationship with [World Zheng Fu] and [European Union] that [Guardian of Time] can compete with [Star Beacon] on a scale that is a little worse than [Star Beacon] Achieving a balance of power, even a slight upper hand...

But now, this situation may be about to change...

In the headquarters of [Guardian of Time], Sephilia is very busy.

The reason is very simple, because the relationship with [World Zheng Fu] has deteriorated, so many aids to [Guardian of Time] have now been terminated, that is to say, the funds of [Guardian of Time] have become quite tight now.

It can be seen that [World Zheng Fu] also seems to have become much smarter, knowing that if you want to domesticate a wolf, you must not let it be hungry first, but you must not let it be full...

Now [Guardian of Time] is facing this situation, because the entire organization is spread all over the world, so the cost is very high. In the past, because of the funding of [World Zheng Fu] and some other organizations and companies, [Guardian of Time] The author] has never worried about funding issues, but now...

On the other hand, Sefilia is also very clear that the purpose of [World Zheng Fu] is to force [Guardian of Time] to completely obey them.

Regarding this point, as the founder of [Guardian of Time], Sefilia would naturally not be willing to do so. Like Baltasar in the past, she was unwilling to let her organization be too biased toward [World Zheng Fu]. However, the financial problem is a problem that has to be solved...

If it weren't for the savings from the past, and the support from some organizations and companies, I'm afraid the [Time Guardian] would have run out of food now.

But even so, it's only a matter of time before the distance ends...

"If you can't think of a way, I'm afraid you can only go to the [Ability Users Association] to earn money to support your family like the 'mercenaries'..."

Standing beside Sephilia, Lu Ann shook his head helplessly.

But a guardian on the side spoke.

"So what about being a 'mercenary', can't we solve those tasks with our strength..."

But just as he finished speaking, a female guardian beside him shook her head and said.

"Don't forget, now [Ability Users Association] has been completely controlled by Rengar, and it is similar to [World Zheng Fu]'s possessions. Although Eduardo tried his best to support it, he is gradually being emptied, so if we If we really go to the [Ability Users Association] to pick up the mission, I am afraid that guy Rengar will definitely use some special missions to make things difficult for us, and by then..."

"That's right, if Rengar really only picks some troublesome tasks for us, then we should take them or not..."

"Also, we also suffered heavy casualties in the Alps group this time, and if we want to complete the task easily, it is almost impossible without the strength of B-level..."

At this time Sephilia also spoke.

"That's right, and don't forget, it's not just [World Zheng Fu] who doesn't like us, but also our old enemy [Star Beacon], even if [Star Beacon] understands the truth of dying lips and teeth, it won't be right Our attack does not mean that other organizations will do the same, after all, we have too many opponents..."

[Guardian of Time] has always taken it as his duty to guard the existing order, and naturally offended many organizations that are good at destroying. This is probably the so-called big tree attracting wind...

In normal times, the strength of the [Guardian of Time] is built, and those organizations naturally dare not do anything, but it is different now.

Even if those guys are not the opponents of Sefilia and Katerina, but since they are going out to pick up the mission, they must send someone out, and it is impossible for Sefilia to go out to carry out the mission...

Always send some low-level subordinates out. At this time, if the enemy organization sends people out to ambush, the end of [Guardian of Time] will definitely not be so good...

After listening to Sefilia's reasons, the expressions of several other people also sank slightly.

But at this moment, Lu An suddenly spoke.

"By the way, hasn't that guy Katerina been following [Lei Qing] recently? I remember that [Lei Qing] seems to be very rich. The Indian campaign, the Indonesian campaign, and the Alps battle, this guy earned a lot of money. It looks like a lot of commissions, much more chic than us voluntary laborers, we can definitely borrow some money from him through Katerina..."

Hearing what Lu An said, other people also started talking, and many people even thought it was a good idea.

At this time, these people seemed to have forgotten that they had always regarded Katerina as a broom star in the past, especially when dealing with the troubles Katerina had caused, they complained non-stop.

But now, they regard Katerina as the last rescue tool...

"[Lei Qing]?"

Hearing what Luan and the others said, Sefilia pondered for a moment.

Because of the relationship between the succubus and the fact that she was rescued once in the Alps, Sefilia's feelings towards Yan Shao are no longer negative, which is one of the reasons why she allowed Katerina to follow Yan Shao one.

However, this has nothing to do with borrowing money...

"After all, that is not a small amount. Every year our organization needs more than one billion funds to operate. Borrowing, that guy may borrow, but when the time comes, what do we have to pay back?"

This is indeed a very practical problem. After all, it is more than one billion US dollars. If they really borrow it, they may not be able to repay such a large amount of money even if they sell the iron. Won the top prize a few times...

But after hearing Sefilia's words, Lu Ann said with a relaxed expression.

"It's simple. When the time comes, why don't we just pay Katerina to that guy? Anyway, now that Katarina is so close to that kid, it seems that she might not be able to escape the kid's palm. In this case, we might as well be a Favorable favors, as for the money, that guy Katerina also caused a lot of disasters in the past, and those disasters were all caused by our aftermath, so the money should be regarded as the aftermath of our work in the past..."

For Lu Ann, [Guardian of Time] is like his home, in order to maintain his home, he will naturally do everything, not to mention...

He also doesn't like Katerina very much, a woman who only has looks but no brains...

Especially when Katerina caused troubles, it was almost always him who dealt with the aftermath...
