The Most Wasteful Fruit Among Pirates

"Huh...huh..."

"These guys... stopped?"

In the sea of ​​blood below the castle, Charlotte Castaard, a six-year-old girl who was already dizzy and almost exhausted, supported her body with a long sword, and barely raised her head to look above the dilapidated castle.

As for the 16th son Charlotte Moscato who was weaker than her, the moment the blood puppet stopped, it dissipated with a suffocated breath, and collapsed in the sea of ​​blood on the spot.

It's a pity that both of them, surrounded by blood puppets, couldn't see the situation above the castle, so they could only pin their hopes on the second brother Katakuri.

At this time, Katakuri also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far in front of him, there was Bram Stoker, a user with the ability of the 'Gate Fruit', who had fallen to the ground, his swords missing, covering his abdominal wound.

"Ha, I saved my life."

Facing Katakuri who stopped, the wounded man smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was regret in his smile.

Not for himself, as the former head of the bodyguard of the 'Puncture Lord' and now the housekeeper, he has long been very open about his own life. He regrets:

"Elizabeth..."

Facing his "lover" who had just been resurrected and was hijacked, the middle-aged Akado looked complicated.

If he gives up resistance and falls into the hands of the white-robed assassin (Rosie) and the second son of the Charlotte family, it is almost equivalent to falling into the hands of the golden lion and BIGMOM, and the end will never be good.

And if he continues to fight... First of all, he is not sure of defeating the white-robed assassin. Secondly, the newly resurrected 'Elizabeth' must not survive.

For Rossi, the domineering energy in his body has been exhausted, if he continues to fight... he may have to call Ta Ni to "turn into the wind" and leave here.

As for Katakuri, although his condition is a little better, but in the sea of ​​blood below, the two younger brothers and sisters can't even stand up. If they continue to fight, they will definitely die!

All parties were worried, and for a while, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

"Are you considering giving up on this woman?"

In this silence, Gary, the cat-eared girl who held the lady hostage, was the first to speak, making everyone present stunned.

"Akado the Impaler, your country was destroyed many years ago. Your story has been circulated in the sea for decades."

"Then this woman is a copy of your former lover 'Elizabeth'?"

? !

Hey, hey, you shouldn't be saying this now, right?

Rossi under the hood was startled, and quickly raised his eyebrows at the cat-eared girl, as if to act according to my face. However, because of the hood made by Jorah, only his chin could be seen in the eyes of others. Mysterious.

"No...it's not a copy, it's a resurrection..."

Covering the entire island with the power of one person, Akado, who is a thousand troops and horses, suddenly paled a little while waving his hands, and forced himself to speak:

"Don't lie!"

But the cat-eared girl Gary interrupted him directly,

"She is just an individual who embodies the person in your heart through the 'brain chip' based on your memory!"

"Even if that person just doesn't have any basis in reality, the same is true for imaginary characters. So what you create is just a phantom, a beautiful fake vase, just a beautiful fantasy in your mind."

? !

This time, not only Rossi, but even the calm Katakuri were shocked.

If Akado goes crazy, the brothers and sisters who have separated below will die immediately...?

"Bram Stoker!"

Before Akado, who was also shocked, could say anything, the girl with cat ears turned her head to look at the embarrassed man next to him, who was dressed in aristocratic lace and cloth strips.

"You used to be the head of the bodyguard of the Impaler, so tell me: Elizabeth's character is flawed."

"Ah... ah... this?"

"Say!"

As the titanium alloy long knife in the cat-eared girl's hand was pressed against the lady's neck, the chief guard subconsciously raised his hands and quickly spoke.

"I said, I said!"

"Ms. Elizabeth...well, sometimes she will be a little willful, for example, because she witnessed the slaughter of animals in the kitchen, she stubbornly asked the whole court to only eat cake..."

"Also... Also, once the guards reported that people in the slums couldn't eat bread, Madam curiously asked why they didn't eat cake..."

"Although Madam likes to read and collect classics. But just... casually read, most of the books will not be read for the second time..."

"No, that's not the case..."

Just when Akado denied it in his heart, the lady had already said this in Elizabeth.

Her face was pale, and the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back.

"I don't have such a memory, I'm not such a person..."

"Of course you didn't,"

The cat-eared girl Gary looked at Akado, whose face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and who was trembling all over.

"These are memories belonging to 'Akado',"

"If it is a real person, there must be shortcomings of a real person, such as savagery, self-willedness, jealousy, suspicion..."

"But you didn't, because you were a 'duplicate' born from Akado's memory, you will rely on him, you will obey him, be loyal to him forever, never betray him, and are willing to give everything for him—"

After finishing speaking, the cat-eared girl pointed to the sea of ​​blood below.

"The evidence is here!"

"It is rumored that 'Elizabeth' is extremely afraid of blood, and will faint from fright just by seeing blood!"

"However, you won't be afraid of blood, and you won't even feel a little bit afraid of corpses, because Akado the Impaler hopes so..."

"enough!!"

Akado, with a distorted face, stared at the girl with cat ears, the scarlet in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to draw your blood to make—"

"That's really a pity, I didn't know that the 'vampire' didn't even spare engine oil."

?

Facing the furious Akado, the cat-eared girl just calmly swiped the knife in her hand, causing the former 'Puncturer' to take a step subconsciously, and then stopped abruptly.

"It's just a 'replica', why are you so angry?"

"As long as I find my 'father', he can make countless 'Elizabeths' for you, isn't it worth getting excited at all?"

···

"She's right, my dear... Your Excellency Akado."

The eyes of the kidnapped beauty dimmed,

"Although 'I' was resurrected by you and had the name 'Elizabeth', my memories... are almost all the time I lived with you, even the head of the guard—"

The beauty turned her head and glanced at Bram Stoker, who was smiling wryly beside her,

"I'm supposed to 'know' him, but I can't recall the past with him at all. So:"

The elegant beauty looked at Akado and smiled sadly.

"You don't have to make things difficult for me,"

While saying this, the classical beauty stepped back step by step,

"I'm not 'Elizabeth', and I don't want to be your bondage, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

? ? ?

"Stop!"

Unknowingly, the classical beauty has retreated to the edge of the city wall, behind which is the city wall tens of meters high!

Perhaps for the masters present, this is not just a 'little obstacle' to jump off, but for the classical beauties, it is a desperate situation.

"don't want-"

"Goodbye,"

In the two voices that sounded almost in tandem, the classical beauty who had just "resurrected" fell backwards, her long white dress spread out like flowers.

The pupils of the middle man named Akado shrank a little, and he subconsciously rushed out, stretching out his hand to catch the falling figure.

This is my castle, can I save—? !

"Ghost Slash·Break!"

A pitch-black long knife slashed fiercely at the side, blocking Akado's way of charging.

Puff!

The long knife slashed across Akado's outstretched arm in an instant, causing his hand and his lover to fall down at the same time, and then disappeared from sight.

"Do not!!"

Under the interference of Rossi's fierce domineering, Akado had no time to use his ability, and watched his lover fall and disappear. And with Elizabeth's physique... he didn't even dare to use his knowledge to find out.

"Ahhh, piercing—"

brush,

Puff!

A large number of sharp pillars of blood stabbed out suddenly, but Rossi's figure was no longer in place.

"very good···"

Akado, who had lost one arm, lowered his head, a pair of bright red pupils shone brightly under his long gray hair.

"Everyone is going to die, there will be no survivors here, including me!"

"That's all you care about that self-made 'replica—'

Puff!

A **** javelin flew towards the cat-eared girl, interrupting her next words.

"She's not a copy, she's Elizabeth!"

When she violated Akado's 'command' and was willing to leap backward for Akado, she already possessed her own 'soul'. It is no longer a copy of anyone, but a living life.

"That's good,"

Facing the crazy Akado, the cat-eared girl breathed a sigh of relief.

? !

call-

With the sound of flapping wings, a pair of dragon wings flew out from under the city wall.

Followed by Ta Ni holding a classic beauty!

"This this···"

With fury still on his face, Akado stared at the teary-eyed beauty dumbfounded, and subconsciously stretched out his hand.

"Honey!" X2

Throwing the classic beauty in her hand forward, Ta Ni landed beside Rossi with a look of disgust and tilted her head to look over.

"Don't look at me, that's what that Miss Gary meant. I'm just doing a favor."

As she spoke, Rosie took a tiny snail from her shoulder.

There is no doubt that this is a 'telephone bug', but its body size is much smaller than normal, and the shell is also equipped with a pair of small mechanical wings.

It was through this thing that the cat-eared girl Gary asked everyone present to help her "act a play".

"However she was born,"

Facing the embracing and crying noble men and women, the cat-eared girl stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Please don't forget your current feelings. Since you brought her into this world, don't let her down."

···

"Hahaha,"

"I will remember your words, little girl."

The ups and downs of Akado smiled, and as the handsome middle-aged man raised his head, the red mist in the sky disappeared completely, and the sun shone on his body, coating him with a layer of gold.

"Thank you,"

If it weren't for the 'play' prepared by Gary, Akado would not be able to face his own heart.

Kneel down on one knee and hold the hand of the classical beauty.

"Elizabeth, I don't deny that you were once a substitute for the dead, but now, I hope to accompany you on the journey, no matter whether you are sick or healthy, rich or poor, always be loyal to each other, until you leave the world—"

"Do you want to?"

···

"I do!"

In the beautiful pear blossoms and the rain, the two hugged together again.

Hey, hey, what is this?

Rossi next to him rolled his eyes, halfway through the fight, was he full of dog food?

"Bram Stoker,"

Immediately afterwards, the man named Akado turned his head to look at his loyal chief guard, butler. There was a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Ha, I can finally rest."

The man who fell to the ground smiled and waved,

"Your Excellency, go on honeymoon and let my old bones rest. You know, I'm already tired of living."

"sorry,"

After apologizing to his loyal chief guard, Akado turned his head to look at Rossi, Katakuri, Gary, Tani...

"I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused you."

"From now on, there will be no 'Puncer' Akado in this world, BIGMOM should be satisfied."

After speaking, the handsome middle-aged man spread his right hand.

"Did you know that the power of a devil fruit is in the blood—at least in the zoology."

Constantly blood pooled in his palm,

"And as a person with the ability to control blood, let's use this as an apology."

Soon, the blood gathered and formed into:

A purple-red devil fruit covered with clouds.

? !

Fuck, it's all okay...

Rossi under the hood was stunned,

He knew that the 'dark fruit' could deprive other fruits, but he didn't expect there to be fruits that could be deprived by himself?

"Miss Gary,"

The purple-red devil fruit in his hand was thrown to the cat-eared girl. The middle-aged man with long gray hair turned golden and gray-brown pupils took the hand of his lover next to him.

"Thank you, I hope you can also relieve the regret in your heart."

"So farewell—"

As a door appeared behind the two, Akado, who had recovered, led his lover into the door.

And the other side:

"Phew, I can finally 'sleep'."

As Akado left, the door fruit ability user named Bram Stoker leaned against the back wall and slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, 'Bram Stoker' is already dead.

Many years ago, he died at the hands of a powerful enemy.

It's just that he was 'made' into a puppet by Akado's fruit ability: of course, it is a puppet that has kept all the soul and memory, which is equivalent to an alternative 'resurrection'.

Now, as he said: sleep at last.

"So,"

Rossi moved her sore shoulders,

"This battle is finally over."

They were obviously just here to move the base, but there was an inexplicable fight. Fortunately, I learned to 'predict the future', and—

The girl with cat ears on the other side, and the devil fruit in her hand:

Bat Fruit·Phantom Beast·Vampire Form
