Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 162 Instinct

Today, residents of the town of Modreld feel the weather is extremely hot. net

The moisture in the air seemed to have completely evaporated, the air was filled with a burnt smell, and there was a heat wave in the half-dead wind.

People can feel their dry lips cracked just by moving their mouths slightly. The animals were barking and running around in panic, as if the end of the world was coming.

"It's weird, it's already autumn, why is it so hot all of a sudden..."

On the promenade, Mrs. Jasmine, the proprietress of Mrs. Curry restaurant, walked out of the shop. She was sweating profusely and holding an empty cup in her hand. "It was like it was on fire. The water was gone after half-drinking it...it's really weird." !"

The owner of the nearby shop also shook his head and walked to the street, looked at the red sky, and asked strangely, "What's going on? Why did the sky turn red?"

More and more people came to the street, and Dr. Satsuma and Chief Dupin, who came after hearing the news, looked at each other and said in surprise, "This is unusual..."

And in the open space on the outskirts of Mordreld Town, Kira, who was flying in with Kidd, looked at the tragic situation in the open space with horror on her face.

The ground in the clearing became dry and cracked, and the surrounding trees, flowers and plants had long been scorched and dead. A billowing heat wave visible to the naked eye enveloped the clearing with steam. Their 'Cousin Laton' stood in the middle of the clearing with his back slightly hunched, his head lowered and motionless.

"Kid, what's going on!?" Kira was so frightened that her scalp was numb, and she quickly turned to ask Kid.

"I, I don't know either..." Kidd said in a crying tone, "I was practicing sparring with my cousin, and suddenly my cousin froze. I didn't stop and hit my cousin in the chest. My cousin looked at me as if he wanted to kill someone, and the whites of his eyes turned black. Then his eyes returned to their original shape and told me to run away quickly. As soon as I ran out of the clearing, I found that the clearing had become like this... Cousin, Cousin, he won’t be beaten to death by me, right?”

"You fart! My cousin is so strong, how can you hurt him with your tricks?" Kira scratched his blond hair into a mess. "What the hell... I knew that my cousin must be a devil fruit user. But not You know what his ability is, and what he wants to do when he activates his ability now...Wait a minute, you said your cousin asked you to escape? Can he speak?"

"Yeah...why didn't I think of this?" Kidd suddenly realized, "My cousin did tell me to run away quickly."

"Anyway, my cousin's situation is very dangerous now..." Kira looked anxiously at 'Cousin Raton' standing motionless in the middle of the open space, gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, look outside, I'll go in and wake you up. Cousin."

"You're crazy! With the current situation in the open space, you will be steamed alive within half a minute of entering!" Kidd was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Kira's collar. "I can run faster than you, I'll go in!" ”

"Idiot! What do you think about running fast with those short legs of yours? I just..." Kira couldn't continue talking midway through his words. He looked towards the open space with a pale face, and his legs kept shaking.

Kidd was frightened by his appearance. He slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the clearing, and then he saw a pair of terrifying eyes with gold rings and black background.

Cousin Laton didn't know when he had woken up and was staring at the two of them. His gaze reminded the two of them of a hungry ferocious beast.

Laton walked towards the two of them step by step. With every step he took, the surrounding air became hotter and drier.

Red flaky skin gradually appeared on his bare upper body, and the metal mask on his mouth disintegrated and melted, revealing a mouth full of sharp and staggered teeth. His thick tail swept behind him, from the back of his head to his back. Sharp bone spurs extend out, and there is no emotion or humanity in the golden ring-shaped pupils.

How could the two teenagers withstand such raging murderous intent? Kira was about to lose his will. Kid was half kneeling on the ground and cried loudly, "Cousin!! Cousin, wake up——!!"

'Laton', who was about to reach the two of them, suddenly froze, then held his head and roared in pain like a wounded beast. His golden pupils flickered on and off, and the bone spurs on his back shone with a rapid dark red light.

He was struggling, the instinct he was fighting to get out of.

"Cousin! Cousin, you have to work hard!!" Kidd and Kira yelled at the top of their lungs to encourage Raton. Both of them could also see how hard Raton was struggling at the moment, but they could do nothing but shout for help.

After a long time, all the abnormalities in Laton's body disappeared, and he collapsed to the ground again, breathing heavily.

He was just a little bit away from being controlled by the powerful instinct of the Devil Fruit. In that state, he was cold-blooded, violent, and inhumane. He only knew how to destroy and kill, but his consciousness was clear and powerless. He could only watch his other self massacre and destroy one island after another. After being satisfied with the killing, he could briefly regain some sanity, but he would soon repeat the same process.

During the Battle of Green Pepper Island, another person was severely injured by the Snake King and tried his best to escape to York Island, and his true self was able to gain 'freedom' for a period of time. But as the body recovers, the instinct begins to stir again.

Just now, he almost killed the two children who had saved his life.

...How long can it last?

"Cousin...cousin, are you okay?"

Kidd and Kira came over tremblingly, trying to help Rodon up.

"Huh...I don't have much time..." Raton shook his head, his voice hoarse and low, "I will teach you how to train the 'Immortal Armor' as soon as possible, and then I will leave this island."

"Cousin..." The two teenagers looked at Laton with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely reluctant to part with him. As orphans, they had already regarded Laton, who was both their teacher and friend, as a real family member.

Raton looked at Kira and Kidd, and became more determined to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to hurt the two children who he regarded as his younger brothers.

"Since there is no need to write on cardboard, we can speed up the tutorial." Raton stood up. "First, let's get out of here and go home."

The two teenagers nodded and walked with him towards the abandoned warehouse.

Not far from the coast of York Island, the blue Beagle was heading here quickly.

Victor stood at the bow of the ship, manipulating the Beagle's sails and cables with ease, while Robin stood beside him to point him to the course. Robin also knows some navigation skills, and he can still cope with the calm sea.

"Victor, you can already vaguely see York Island, heading towards the dock of Mordreld Town." Robin put down the telescope, turned to Victor and said.

Victor nodded and looked at the sea level in the distance, with an interested smile on his lips

"Let me see, guide me here, what kind of 'person' will be waiting for me here?"
