Devil Fruit Ability

()"This guy…"

Walking past a nearly corpse that had been corroded by the poisonous mist, Delinger frowned.

And behind him, the eyes of many African-American ability users were filled with resentment.As Africans, seeing their hometown being killed so much, these people are naturally resentful.

Noticing this, Delinger's face under the gas mask became even uglier.

On the way here, Delinger originally wanted to have a good talk with Skarner, after all, long before Skarner was imprisoned in the bottomless abyss, he was already a well-known ability user———— Although notorious.

Although Skarner was only a b-level high-level ability user before being locked in the bottomless abyss, according to Delinger's information, the current Skarner is very likely to be a master of the same level as him. With the troublesome fruit ability, it is not so easy for Delinger to get rid of him.

Therefore, solving this problem through peaceful means is undoubtedly the best solution.

And judging from the information obtained by Delinger, Skarner may not be really loyal to the world government. As long as he is persuaded, maybe Skarner will not help the world government, or even vote for them. It is also uncertain...

but now…

Now that Skarner has already started killing here, the possibility of having a good talk is very small.

One is because the base camp of the Star Beacon is in Africa, and Skarner is so reckless in killing, I am afraid that he has no idea of ​​​​taking a step back, and second...

Although the members of the Star Beacon come from all over the world, since the base camp is in Africa, a considerable number of people in the organization are of African descent—although there are both South Africa and North Africa.

Skarner's killing spree will undoubtedly anger the African-American members of the organization.

And Delinger, as the No. [-] person of Star Path, must worry about this kind of sentiment in the organization, so peace talks are obviously impossible.

If Delinger rejects all opinions and unilaterally makes peace with Skarner, or even wants to recruit him, I am afraid that even the organization will be infuriated, and Delinger will naturally know which is more important. very clear.

————————————————————

Now that he knew he couldn't recruit, Delinger was ready to fight.

Due to the poisonous smog that filled the city, Delinger and the others had very little visibility, and the gas masks were somewhat inconvenient after all, so it took a certain amount of effort for the group of people to be in a square in the middle of the city. Found their goal this time.

Skarner, and his accomplices.

"You are finally here."

Skarner, who was standing on a statue a few meters high in the middle of the square and walking in the poisonous mist, laughed after seeing Delinger and the others.

Although Skarner didn't know the identities of Delinger and the others at this time, he could also see that the other party was definitely not a good comer, and a kind person would not come.

Knowing his identity, he dared to come here to make trouble for him. There is only one possibility, and that is that the other party is an opponent of the same level as him.

While speaking, Skarner took out a small jug from his arms

After pouring out a little white powder, inhale gently into the nose...

He's not taking drugs, he's snuffing...

Snuff is made by adding musk and other precious spices to finely ground high-quality tobacco, or extracting it with flowers, etc. The production process is very elegant.Because snuff is easy to ferment in a snuff bottle, it is usually sealed with wax for several years or even decades before it is sold.There are five flavors of smoke: mutton, paste, sour, bean, and bitter.Snuff has various colors such as purple black, old yellow, bright yellow, etc. It has a mellow and pungent smell, and has the effects of improving eyesight, refreshing, preventing epidemics, and promoting blood circulation.Tobacco was spread from the Americas through Luzon to Fujian, my country during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was called Tamba mushroom or Tamba mushroom at that time.

According to the Qing Dynasty Zhao Zhiqian's "Yonglu Xianjie", in the ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1581), the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci carried snuff, chiming bells, pictures of all nations and other tributes to carry out missionary activities, and then paid tribute to the emperor. There is no record of snuff in the list of "prescriptions presented by Matteo Ricci" in the existing Ming court archives.When it was first introduced into Chinese, it was called "Snahu", "Snafu", "Xila", "Bluhuilu", "Kolun Shinahu", etc., all of which were transliterated from foreign languages.In the Yongzheng period, Emperor Yongzheng named "Snahu" as "Snuff" according to the characteristic that snuff is smelled with the nose. So far, snuff began to have a Chinese name.After snuff was introduced into the palace, it began to flow into the upper class as the emperor rewarded ministers with snuff and snuff bottles.

According to historical records such as Yao Lu's "Book of Lu" in the Ming Dynasty, tobacco originally came out of Luzon, and it was called Danba wild rice in ancient times, talk about meat and fruit, and bear no return; and because the shredded tobacco is golden in color, it can be intoxicating if you smoke too much, so it is also called Jinsi Drunken, dry wine, etc.In the early Ming Dynasty, Lu Song State paid tribute to my country with tobacco.During the Wanli period, tobacco began to be grown in Zhangzhou, Fujian.Tamba is a transliteration of the Spanish o, and Spanish is tabasco, which follows the American Indian language.In the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, the Port of Manila in Luzon was opened and became the base for Spain to conduct Far East trade.Many Spanish galleons set sail from Lima, Peru, and transported American fruits, cured meat, walnuts, knitting needles, fine-bred chickens, tobacco, snuff, snuff boxes, etc. to Luzon.At the same time, my country’s Fujian merchant ships also carried tea, porcelain, raw silk, brocade, pearls, gemstones, crystals, gold, and copper washbasins to Luzon, traded with Spanish merchants, and transported Spanish merchant ships to Luzon’s tobacco , snuff, etc. were transported back to Fujian.Therefore, Fujian merchants also followed the transliteration of Spanish tobacco and called tobacco Tamba.

Since the early snuff products were all produced in Germany, Spain, France and Thailand (especially in Germany), they were expensive, so only the upper classes such as bureaucrats and nobles could afford to buy them.There is a huge gap in the prices of snuff varieties. The difference between high-grade and low-grade tobacco can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars in ocean terms.At that time, there was a saying in the court, "Gold is easy to get, noble snuff is hard to find", but ordinary people only heard the name but did not see the substance.At that time, the introduction of snuff was very rare. At first, it was only used as a kind of refined taste by literati and dignitaries, and it was given as a valuable gift to relatives and friends.In addition, entertain guests by sniffing snuff to express mutual friendship and respect.The middle period of Kangxi was the heyday of snuff.In Fang Xun's "Jingshanju Poems", there is a poem "Grind into a pipa, gold flakes fly, and a slight fragrance mist rises from the smell. Haike sells it for a hundred coins, and a high-ranking official will be a dagger".During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, snuff first appeared in the imperial palace. When the emperor saw it, he found it fresh and enjoyable, so he gave up hookah and opium, and smelled snuff instead.When the emperor was happy, he rewarded his ministers with his snuff. From then on, everyone in the official residences of the ministers in the palace smelled of snuff.Later, snuff spread more and more widely, not only people in ministers' residences, but also people in small and medium-sized yamen smelled snuff.During the reign of Kangxi, an eunuch who was watching the smokehouse in the palace accidentally put dozens of pots of blooming jasmine in the smokehouse to smell it. Emperor Kangxi not only did not blame the smoke, but was very happy.He ordered people to smoke foreign cigarettes with gunpowder and named it "Yuzhilu".After the middle period of Kangxi, the custom of sniffing snuff gradually spread among the people.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many snuff shops in Beijing, concentrated in Qianmen Dashilan, Longfu Temple, Drum Tower, Chongwai Street and other places.The more famous snuff shops are "Wang Kaida" and "Yilanhe" in Gulou Street, "Gonglihe" and "Gonglinhe" in Jinmao Hutong of Chongwai Street.Among them, "Tianhuizhai" in Dashilan, Qianmen is the most famous snuff shop in Beijing.After the five-port trade opening in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, some commercial firms in Guangzhou used domestic tobacco leaf raw materials to imitate imported snuff. Since then, snuff has become popular in society.In the late Qing Dynasty, snuff was gradually replaced by dry tobacco, hookah, and paper cigarettes, and was eventually eliminated by society.

Tobacco, together with corn, tomato, potato, and chocolate, is listed as one of the five great inventions of ancient American Indians, with a history of more than 2000 years.However, it was not until Columbus discovered the New World of America in the fifth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty that the tobacco in America gradually spread to the whole world.Cortese of the Royal Society of Art said in "History of Snuff and Snuff Bottles" published in New York in 1935 that on October 1492, 10, the Spanish navigator Columbus arrived in El Salvador, a precious gift given to Columbus by the local Indians It is a golden tobacco leaf.Indians often trekked and migrated on foot or in ox carts, and their lives were turbulent and difficult. Smoking tobacco could not only overcome fatigue, hunger and thirst, but also heal wounds and diseases.

But snus is not just a kind of tobacco. There is also a variety of snuff called white snuff. The so-called white snuff is actually mint and glucose. Of course, there are also some strange spices.

Generally speaking, white snuff is some white powder, of course there are other colors, but it is mainly white.

Although Skarner's ability is very vicious, in fact, he doesn't have much affection for smoke, but he has a lot of interest in snuff. In addition, white snuff doesn't even have tar, not even nicotine, so Skarner really likes snuff.

Even when he was in Azerbaijan, Skarner would come when he was free.

In the Abyss, because he was in prison at the time, Skarner naturally didn't have that kind of treatment, but now that he has been released, Skarner naturally began to enjoy it, even when he was fighting.

On the other side, seeing Skarner's defiant look, Delinger also had a trace of anger on his face.

But in an instant, he suppressed the anger on his face.

"You have also been imprisoned by the world government for many days, why should you work so hard for them..."

Walking to a place not far from Skarner, Delinger said lightly.

Although there was still a gas mask on his face, his words were clearly heard by everyone present.

Hearing Delinger's words, Skarner also smiled.

"I'm also forced to..." He said and tugged at the black ring around his neck. "It's just something that is entrusted by others to be loyal to others, so there are some things that you can do even if you don't want to..."

If I don't do it, my good head will be blown off too.

Of course, Skarner did not say this sentence.

Looking at the black ring around Skarner's neck, Delinger seemed to have thought of something.

"It seems that there is no way to solve it peacefully..."

While speaking, Delinger's skin has begun to transform into a diamond...

On the other side, seeing that Delinger seemed to be ready to fight, Skarner also dispersed a lot of the surrounding poisonous gas.

For an ability user of Delinger's level, ordinary poisonous gas can't cause much damage at all. It's better to disperse the poisonous gas and use other gases to fight. Anyway, Skarner will use more than this kind of poisonous gas …

"But this guy's body is a bit difficult to deal with, and it's very troublesome to solve it..."

Looking at Delinger, whose half of his body had turned into diamonds, Skarner bit his lower lip.

If possible, he would never want to have a conflict with Delinger. After all, the name [Diamond] Delinger, even if he is in the bottomless abyss, he has often heard of it, and the other party is more powerful than him. He had become a level [-] ability user earlier, and if he really faced Delinger, he would not have the confidence to defeat him.

However, since the world government has installed insurance on his neck, he obviously has no chance to paddle...

————————————————————

What Skarner didn't know was that the black ring around his neck was not just a bomb, it was also a positioning system and a monitor, capable of relaying exactly what Skarner said back to the headquarters of the world government .

Although Skarner doesn't know this, he can probably think of something—a bomb on his neck, it can't be detonated if there is no signal, and if no one is watching, wouldn't it be easy for him Can cause trouble?

So the biggest possibility is that the black ring around his neck is actually a monitor, which can monitor his every move, so that everything can be explained clearly.

Therefore, although he is not sure about this matter, Skarner will never speak ill of the world government. After all, his future results will all depend on the world government, but if he has a chance, he can get rid of the world government. If so, he will never let it go...

"However, the opportunity is not now..."

Saying so, Skarner clapped his hands lightly.

The next moment, an explosion occurred where Delinger was originally standing.

The reason why it was the original position was that Delinger had moved away from the original position just before the explosion.

Even if he was wearing a gas mask, even if he couldn't smell the outside air, at least he could still feel the flow of the airflow. A large gust of special airflow suddenly surged towards him. It's a little too stupid.

"Do it..."

Quickly moving tens of meters away, Delinger's face behind the mask became a little gloomy as he looked at the ground that had been blasted into a crater with a radius of ten meters.

"I don't know how to flatter..."

As soon as the words fell, Delinger, who was completely diamond-shaped, had already rushed towards the statue where Skarner was originally standing.

Compared with Skarner, a rookie, Delinger, a veteran powerhouse, is obviously stronger, and even moves much faster. Facing Delinger who rushed over suddenly, Skarner is also dangerous. Narrowly dodged the collision.

But under Skarner, the stone statue was completely smashed...

Although the statue is made of marble, how can it be compared with diamonds? After all, diamonds are the hardest substance in the world—————— of course, except for those made artificially.

Even with Katerina's incomparably powerful [Ominous Blade], it would be difficult to cut some scum from Delinger's body.Those who can do this are probably only at the level of Andumari, Haireddin and Lin...

Scared by Delinger, Skarner no longer pretended to clap his hands.

Soon, countless explosions sounded like firecrackers. This time, Skarner's target was no longer just Delinger, but even Yuga and others were also included.

Fortunately, the actions of Yuka and others are relatively sharp, so there have not been any major casualties so far, but even so, many people are still a little exhausted due to too frequent explosions.

Only a diamond man like Delinger can ignore the explosion and move. After all, except for the explosion caused by nuclear weapons, it is really difficult for Delinger to be hurt by ordinary explosions.

Of course, besides Delinger, there are also people who can ignore this explosion, but there is only one person, and that is Yujia.

Although the power of the explosion caused by Skarner is amazing, after increasing the temperature of the body, these explosions can't hurt Yuka. It's just that the shock wave generated by the explosion is a bit troublesome, but it is still relatively easy for her to solve .

"I'll leave that guy to you!!!"

After dodging an explosion, Yuga called out to Delinger, speaking of Skarner's fellow inmates who had turned and rushed in the other direction.

Although I haven't been able to figure out how Skarner exploded out of thin air, Yuga also knows that it is difficult for her to get close to Skarner under such frequent explosions. Skarner's fellow inmates strike.

While speaking, Yuga had already jumped in front of one of the inmates, and the former prisoner didn't know what ability it was, so seeing Yuga rushing over, he swung a knife directly.

Yuka didn't dodge, and lightly used both hands to "empty sword", and the knife had been caught by Yujia's hands.

In an instant, the long knife began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a lot of molten iron even splashed on the capable person opposite.

After seeing the end of the long knife, the capable user was also shocked. Seeing that the blade had been melted away, he quickly discarded the handle and quickly backed away.

But before he retreated far, Yuga had already rushed in front of him, and grabbed his hands...

Almost everyone heard the man's screams...
