361 The Usage of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit
One should know that Taojia was also a Devil Fruit user. If she did not have some strength, she would not have come to the island dressed like this.
However, Taojia’s Devil Fruit was of little value. It could penetrate everything.
With this fruit’s ability, Taojia had become an excellent thief, but her combat power was not up to expectations.
At that moment, Taojia’s heart was filled with regret. She didn’t know how much longer she could live after stepping onto such a boat.
Soon, the sun began to set and the sky began to darken.
!!
In the most prosperous central area of the island…
Zhao Hao lit up a cigar in the corner, quietly looking at the luxurious and magnificent castle that was comparable to an imperial palace.
After gently blowing out a ring of smoke, the corner of Zhao Hao’s mouth unconsciously rose as he muttered, “Pirates really know how to enjoy life. If I didn’t know, I’d think that this Castle was built for an Emperor of the Sea.”
Raider Shibu’s castle took up a large area.
Just the towering city walls alone were 500 meters tall.
In addition, there were several pirates patrolling the area at regular intervals. It could be said that the security was extremely tight.
When the sun had completely set and the night had fallen, Zhao Hao directly released his Observation Haki’s power.
In an instant, the aura of everyone in the castle appeared in Zhao Hao’s mind.
There were nearly 1,000 pirates guarding the city wall.
Within the castle, there were still 500.
What surprised Zhao Hao was that there was a dungeon under the castle.
In the dungeon, there were many targets with powerful auras. One of them seemed to be a giant.
“Why did this Raider Shibu capture so many people and keep them in the dungeon?”
Zhao Hao couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Soon, Zhao Hao found his target.
Based on his senses, there were two people who were inseparable in the center of the castle. One of them had the strongest aura in the entire castle, while the other was relatively weaker. It should be the Devil Fruit user who was responsible for escaping.
Zhao Hao also felt that this Door-Door Fruit was very tricky.
When the battle started, he must be the first to be killed.
Otherwise, if he just opened a door and ran away, Zhao Hao would not be able to catch up.
After confirming the target’s location, Zhao Hao said to Taojia, “How is it? Is there a problem?”
After knowing that Zhao Hao was going to do something big, Taojia told Zhao Hao about her ability, which led to Zhao Hao’s direct arrival.
“We can, but do we really have to?” Taojia said with hesitation.
“Alright, hurry up and start,” Zhao Hao said impatiently.
Although Taojia was crying, she still activated the fruit’s ability.
In the next second, Taojia and Zhao Hao’s figures started to merge into the ground.
The Piercing Fruit could pass through any material object, regardless of terrain or obstacles. As long as one identified a direction, they could reach it in a straight line.
In the castle’s most luxurious hall…
Raider Shibu was currently eating dinner. Although he had received news that a powerful pirate had arrived on the island, he wasn’t worried at all.
No matter how strong a pirate was, when it came to his trump card, he would have to carry it with him obediently.
Otherwise, they would end up like those guys in the dungeon.
Suddenly, a series of violent noises came from the castle’s underground.
Raider Shibu’s expression froze, and he hurriedly used his Observation Haki to check.
“F*ck.”
With that one look, he made a stomp on the ground. He turned around and ordered his subordinate to open a door and prepare to escape.
However, it was obviously too late. Zhao Hao used the power of Taojia’s fruit and directly rushed to the center of the hall.
He grabbed the throat of the owner of the Door-Door Fruit in front of Raider Shibu and snapped it.
After seeing Zhao Hao’s appearance, Raider Shibu knew.
All the pirates in the New World had seen the new star of the Marines before.
Knowing that he was not Zhao Hao’s match, Raider Shibu didn’t even make a move. Instead, he turned around and ran outside.
Although Raider Shibu looked like a dwarf, his running speed was very shocking.
The expression on his face was dark and terrifying, filled with violent killing intent.
The Forward Step was the ability of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit, which was actually a support-type ability, not very strong in combat.
First, he turned himself into a jacket.
If someone else were to put it on, he would be able to control everything about his opponent, and it could even have the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Zhao Hao didn’t immediately kill him. He wanted to see how this guy developed the Jacket-Jacket Fruit and became a big pirate.
Soon, Zhao Hao got the answer.
Raider Shibu ran into the dungeon and chose the strongest one among the prisoners—a giant pirate with a bounty of more than 800,000,000 Berries.
This was the best worker that Raider Shibu had paid a huge price to capture.
He activated the Jacket-Jacket Fruit’s ability and turned into a jacket.
As for the giant, he must have been injected with some kind of drug, so he was unconscious. With the help of his subordinates, the jacket was successfully put on the giant.
“Whoosh.”
He zipped up his chest, and at that moment, he felt like his body was filled with energy.
“Hahaha, this is power.”
Zhao Hao’s figure had just appeared in the dungeon when he was faced with a huge fist that was several times larger than his own body.
Zhao Hao blocked with both hands and was sent flying by the punch.
Raider Shibu controlled the giant’s body and slowly walked to the ground.
Zhao Hao was sent flying into the air by the powerful punch.
He looked down at the giant, whose strength had increased by an unknown amount.
Only then did Zhao Hao realize.
“So, you use all the pirates locked up in the dungeon as your bodies. The Jacket-Jacket Fruit allowed you to develop so much. You’re really amazing.”
Zhao Hao was starting to admire Raider Shinu’s bold and unconstrained style. Even the most useless Jacket-Jacket Fruit could develop such an abnormal ability. If this were to be used on Garp in the future, or any of the Four Emperors, such as the dying Whitebeard…
Thinking about it, Zhao Hao felt that this fruit’s ability was insane. If it could be maintained forever, one would only need to constantly change the host body.
“Hmph! Marine, you actually dared to come and try to get my attention. You don’t have to leave this time. I’ll take your head and show all the pirates in the New World how powerful I am.”
After Raider Shibu sent Zhao Hao flying with a single punch, his confidence immediately soared, and he laughed arrogantly.
