Chapter 141: The Correct Way to Use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Like a Great Demon King

"I'll freeze your legs!"

Shen Mo gripped Hyōrinmaru in his hand, aimed precisely, and struck immediately.

Just as the Mutated Giant Ape was about to leap, its legs were instantly covered in extreme ice crystals; it tried to elementalize to break free but found it couldn't, and before it could figure out why, Shen Mo dashed forward again.

"Off you go!"

A whip-kick infused with spiritual energy slammed violently into the side of the Mutated Giant Ape's knee, mixing the crisp sound of shattering ice with the clear crack of breaking bone.

Lin Lin Ruoxi said nothing and directly thrust her sword into the Mutated Giant Ape's abdomen, twisting it as she drove it deeper; only this time, the blade was not covered in lightning, but in pure spiritual energy.

Elementalize? We aren't even from the same world system; who's going to elementalize with you?

As for why the Mutated Giant Ape could previously ignore Lin Lin Ruoxi's Railgun through elementalization, it was because she used a Vision driven by spiritual energy to unleash elemental power, and the spiritual energy itself wasn't included in that effect.

Pure lightning elements, of course, it could ignore via elementalization.

But spiritual energy? Spiritual energy isn't a type of element; although it belongs to the category of energy, it isn't the kind of energy that a Devil Fruit's "elementalization" can ignore.

They didn't understand the specific concepts, but the result was exactly that.

This was experience they had gained from Lu Jing.

"Roar—!!!"

The Mutated Giant Ape's wail echoed across the battlefield, but no one present paid it any mind.

"What are you roaring about? Do you think we understand you just because you're making noise?"

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Show me some more of that arrogance."

"Prediction, radio waves—damn it, abilities I haven't even unlocked yet, and you've managed to develop them?"

"Where does that leave my dignity?"

"Why aren't you predicting anymore? Keep predicting!"

Lin Lin Ruoxi kept thrusting her sword, cursing as she stabbed, growing angrier with every word and stabbing faster with every curse.

"Come on, come on, give me another whack."

"How does this monkey's hide manage to be hard yet soft, and soft yet hard? And this electric sensation? Awesome!"

"Among all the mutated creatures I've ever hammered with my staff, your texture is the best; I hereby declare you the strongest!"

"Hahahaha."

Gu Che was thoroughly enjoying himself; he had killed so many mutated creatures, but none had ever felt as unique as this Mutated Ape, simply immersing one in the experience until one couldn't pull away.

Could this be the correct way to use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

"Teleport? Do you think I'll let you teleport?"

"What abilities does the Rumble-Rumble Fruit have? Do you think a monkey like you knows them better than I do?"

"Golden Lion could cut off his own two legs to escape; do you think I'd give you that chance?"

"Let me tell you, before you die, these two legs of yours will only suffer compound fractures; I absolutely won't give you the slightest opportunity."

At first, it hadn't thought of running, and even after seeing Ye Xuan's Ryūjin Jakka, it hadn't considered that it might lose; but now that they were truly engaged, realizing it couldn't win and wanting to flee—what were you doing earlier?

Yes, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit grants its user near-teleportation speed, but Laozi has frozen your legs; can you still teleport?

Don't talk to me about elementalization; are we even in the same world system to talk about elementalization? Go discuss it with my Hyōrinmaru.

Although he kicked with his foot, he wouldn't directly kick its frozen legs off.

He knew exactly how Golden Lion had escaped; what if he gave this monkey a chance and it managed to run?

"For eating my fruit!" "Hiss! (Sword thrust)" "Slap! (Staff strike)" "Bang! (Kick)"

"For provoking me!" "Hiss! (Sword thrust)" "Slap! (Staff strike)" "Bang! (Kick)"

"For using elementalization!" "Hiss! (Sword thrust)" "Slap! (Staff strike)" "Bang! (Kick)"

"For..."

The continuous sounds were just like firecrackers exploding; the Mutated Giant Ape could only wail endlessly, no matter how much lightning surged across its body, it was utterly useless.

One has high resistance, one has thick skin plus high resistance, and the other—go discuss it with my Hyōrinmaru.

Of course, that was just a joke.

The main reason was that facing Gu Che, Shen Mo, and Lin Lin Ruoxi, the Mutated Giant Ape consumed its spiritual energy and stamina very quickly; after all, it was three against one, and all three were Tier-3 ability users possessing Heavenly Treasures.

Even if the Mutated Giant Ape's strength exceeded that of any single one of the three, it still couldn't defeat all three together.

Under these circumstances, it naturally couldn't hold out for long.

Theoretically, Gu Che, Shen Mo, and Lin Lin Ruoxi shouldn't be able to last long either, but they happened to have medicine; if their spiritual energy ran low, they simply drank a bottle of Spirit-Energy Potion, and if one bottle wasn't enough, they drank another.

Once spiritual energy was restored, stamina naturally recovered as well.

Fighting until now, they hadn't remained completely unexhausted, but their condition was definitely better than that of the Mutated Giant Ape.

Therefore, the situation had become like this.

If the Mutated Giant Ape had managed to escape, that would have been one thing, but Shen Mo kept his eyes fixed on it, never giving it a chance to flee.

With spiritual energy and stamina exhausted, and unable to run, what else could it do?

The Tian Shu Bureau members and survivors watching from afar saw their expressions shift from initial tension to shock, then disbelief, and finally to silence.

Originally, when they saw the beast tide surging again, they were somewhat nervous; although they relaxed upon seeing God Ye, they still felt a little panicked.

After all, there were so many creatures in the beast tide; even if they trusted Ye Xuan's strength completely, they still felt that under a swarm of mutated creatures, Ye Xuan couldn't possibly kill them all.

A few would inevitably break through.

As a result, they watched God Ye pull out Ryūjin Jakka and unleash "Matsubi" and "Jōka Enjō," directly roasting the entire beast tide into barbecue.

Oh, no, it couldn't even be called barbecue; barbecue at least leaves corpses behind, whereas their corpses had turned to ash.

But the problem was, no one had told them that God Ye was the wielder of the Zanpakutō Ryūjin Jakka.

Had the Tian Shu Bureau concealed information about God Ye?

But since they hadn't hidden the Fire Dragon Armor, was there really any need to hide Ryūjin Jakka?

Setting aside everything else, the Flame Dragon Armor is far superior to Shikai.

Just as they were still immersed in the fact that Ye Shen was the wielder of Shikai and in the terrifying destructive power of Shikai, a clap of thunder dragged them back to reality, revealing a mutated ape monkey radiating lightning.

Moreover, during the battle between Lin Lin Ruoxi and that mutated ape monkey, they discovered the opponent could elementalize, proving to be a user of the Goro Goro no Mi.

A mutated beast that consumed one of the most top-tier Devil Fruits; not only was Lin Lin Ruoxi regretting it, but the vast majority among them were as well.

The Goro Goro no Mi is the dream of so many Devil Fruit enthusiasts.

If Enel had only appeared a bit later, he would have been at least an Admiral-level combatant.

Even if many people's favorite Devil Fruit is something else, that doesn't mean they don't like the Goro Goro no Mi.

For such a precious Devil Fruit to be eaten by a mutated beast, anyone would feel regret.

How wonderful it would be if they had been the ones to eat it.

Afterwards, while they were still lamenting, they saw Gu Che and Shen Mo join the fray; in a three-on-one situation, aside from the initial moment when the mutated giant ape displayed the courage to face three opponents, it soon turned into a desperate resistance.

And then, it became exactly like this.

Sword thrusts, club strikes, and kicks—it was simply unbearable to watch.

Hahaha, did you not expect the author to update? I was originally preparing to rest early, but feeling guilty for only releasing three chapters, I climbed out of bed again. Waaah, am I sick? *Tears. jpg*
