Chapter 132: Magnetic Octopus! Luo Ge Acts! Beautiful Scales! (2/2, Requesting Subscriptions)
Xiao Di roughly understood.
Looking at the way Nakuru was gritting his teeth and struggling, he roughly grasped what Morel was trying to convey.
Thunder roared, while the sound of waves remained the same.
Sea water kept splashing onto the deck, bringing a considerable amount of water onto the ship, mixing with the rain.
The crackling sound of water never ceased.
In a dark environment, lightning occasionally flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the serious faces of the four.
The harsh conditions at sea were secondary; what truly needed attention was the darkness.
Moments later, the commotion on the sea surface inexplicably ceased; the scale of the pure white foam shrank rapidly until it vanished completely.
The dark clouds and lightning in the sky remained unaffected; only the sea surface changed, like the silence before a storm.
The next moment, the ship suddenly tilted sharply to the right, as if someone's left cheek had been struck heavily by a heavy fist.
It tipped over to the right like a madman!
This trend was extremely powerful; it was not just about making the ship fall, but dragging it into the unknown depths of the sea.
For a moment, everyone, including Morel, involuntarily leaned their bodies, managing only to stand on the deck as best they could to avoid falling into the sea.
Nakuru gripped the ship's pole with both hands, his expression determined, but his strength was limited since he had not yet become a Nen user.
Facing the ship as if a great building were about to collapse, invisible gravity pressed down on him, and his hands gripping the pole gradually turned white.
Until he lost his strength.
Just as he released his hands, a floating wisp of white smoke quickly wrapped around him and the pole, forming a lifeline.
"Nakuru, you have done very well."
Following the voice, Morel was calmly holding his large pipe, smoking a unique kind of tobacco.
Morel carried his large pipe with him at all times.
The pipe was made of special metal; while heavy, it was exceptionally sturdy, even harder than steel.
When stood upright, the huge pipe reached a person's height; he usually wrapped it in white cloth strips and carried it on his shoulder.
He took a deep breath, then a large, continuous cloud of white smoke mixed with Nen floated into the air, quickly forming a giant white smoke hand.
This smoke hand was nearly the same size as the ship; under Morel's control, it firmly grasped the vessel, preventing it from tilting further.
This was Morel's Nen ability!
The Manipulation-type Nen ability 【Purple Smoke Fist】.
The smoke blown out from his pipe could transform into all sorts of things, which he could then control.
It could not only transform into combat units for attack but also into numerous small white rabbits for reconnaissance.
Morel believed his "Purple Smoke Fist" was the ability best suited for adapting to changing circumstances.
Morel possessed innate talent, and combined with long-term training in the ocean, it gave him lung capacity and control far beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, he could produce a large amount of freely controllable white smoke in a short time, changing its shape according to his thoughts.
Morel waved his large pipe like a long spear, wielding it as if it were part of his arm; he swung it a few times before resting it on his shoulder, secretly exerting force.
He was wrestling with that unknown creature!
Luo Ge's eyes flickered slightly.
Morel's Nen ability was not bad either.
He had obtained the 【Sketch】 skill two days ago.
This skill could copy another person's Nen ability without any cost, but the drawback was that it was a one-time use skill.
If he wanted to copy a Nen ability again in the future, he would need to obtain the 【Sketch】 skill again.
If it was not used, it would not be drawn again.
After obtaining this skill, he began considering the Nen users around him one by one.
At present, it seemed that Bisky's and Morel's Nen abilities were quite good.
The former was beneficial for his physical recovery and could improve training efficiency.
The latter's Nen ability was more comprehensive, serving various purposes.
However, considering the 【Sketch】 skill was hard to come by, he did not know when he would get a second one.
So he did not use it casually, planning to wait for a Nen ability truly worth copying.
"It's a power similar to gravity, isn't it?"
Luo Ge glanced at the side of the ship and said in a deep voice.
Before tilting, the ship had not suffered a heavy blow, nor was anything seen wrapping around it; inexplicably, it began to sink.
This showed it was an invisible force.
Morel squatted down, assuming a horse-stance posture, emitting a dazzling Nen light from his body, and said heavily:
"Yes."
"It seems this enemy is no ordinary one."
Morel and that creature were like a tug-of-war; the ship was the rope, and both sides were wrestling.
After a few breaths, it seemed that creature grew impatient, voluntarily releasing that force, allowing Morel to sigh with relief.
Immediately after, Morel and Luo Ge's expressions changed almost simultaneously, and they looked in the same direction.
The sea surface not far away began to churn; a fountain-like column of sea water stood tall, and beneath it lay a vast, pitch-black shape.
It was as if a colossal creature was about to break through the sea surface and surge out.
In an instant, Gao Song's sea water surged into the sky; the sea level seemed to suddenly rise by a section, causing the ship to drift upward continuously.
An astonishing tsunami!
The ugly fish in the fish tank shook uncontrollably with the water, spinning until dizzy.
Gazing at the terrifying tsunami and the predicament everyone found themselves in, the dull eyes of the Ugly Fish began to show more emotion.
The desire to evolve grew even stronger.
At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on that massive column of water.
"Squeak!"
An exceptionally piercing cry rang out, making the eardrums vibrate.
The water column dispersed,
revealing an octopus monster of immense size, about four or five stories tall, before everyone's eyes.
Its huge form cast a large area of shadow, like blocking out the sky and sun, causing panic in the depths of their hearts.
Most of its body was blue, but a part of it was close to the color of silver, appearing somewhat extraordinary.
Countless huge tentacles waved with its body; each slap against the sea surface created astonishing waves.
Nokku opened his mouth wide, his mind went blank, and he didn't even cry out; he just stared in a daze.
An octopus of this size could knock this ship into the sea with just a wave of its tentacles.
This was a terrifying difference in size.
As the giant octopus surfaced, the sea surface rippled more frequently; the ship shook violently a few times before barely maintaining its balance.
Mo Lao Wu said nothing, frowned, and quietly smoked one puff after another.
He knew very well that this strange octopus would not be easy to deal with, so he was rushing to produce more white smoke.
【Magnetic Badge】:
An octopus mutated due to special reasons, with new structures on its tentacles that can suck away objects containing metal.
Luo Ge looked at the information displayed in the Pokédex, clearly understanding that the ship's recent disturbance was caused by the 【Magnetic Badge】.
This further confirmed his determination to capture it.
Mo Lao Wu exhaled his last puff of white smoke.
This accumulated thick white smoke quickly changed shape, gradually forming one human-like figure after another, styled like ninjas.
This was one of Mo Lao Wu's Nen ability applications—Purple Smoke Machine Soldier Squad.
In fact, his Nen ability was not good at dealing with large creatures, so he could only try it out for now.
If he couldn't deal with it, he would have to retreat first.
Just as the Purple Smoke Machine Soldier Squad was about to advance, a purple figure suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
"Roar!"
Nidoking stepped on the waves, charging at the 【Magnetic Badge】 with a posture of riding the wind and breaking the waves, its body shrouded in azure light.
Water-type move—Surf!
After approaching the 【Magnetic Badge】, everyone could even more clearly see the difference in body size between the two.
Nidoking's body was still a large segment shorter than the octopus.
However, because of this, Nidoking's movements were even more agile; it passed through tentacle after tentacle, approaching the octopus.
"It's actually surfing on the water surface?!"
Mo Lao Wu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes beneath the sunglasses filled with astonishment.
He truly hadn't expected Luo Ge's Nen beast to be able to do this.
