Chapter 82: Can you see me? (Second update)

At this time,

from Absalom's perspective,

he saw Li Xiao, who had originally been facing away from him, suddenly turn around,

and stare fixedly at him!

Seeing this,

Absalom was startled!

Was he discovered?

That's impossible!

He was currently using his Devil Fruit ability,

and was in a state of invisibility!

Moreover,

his invisibility state wasn't like a chameleon blending into the environment,

but a more pure transparency!

He was a user of the Paramecia-type Clear-Clear Fruit,

and when using the ability,

his body would allow visible light to pass through,

making him transparent!

At this time,

his body neither reflected nor absorbed light!

Therefore,

in the eyes of bystanders, he would appear invisible!

Unless there was direct physical contact,

otherwise, others wouldn't even know of his existence, let alone see him!

So,

it was probably just a coincidence!

Even though he felt it was impossible to be discovered,

for the sake of insurance,

Absalom still decided to test it out!

Absalom still decided to test the waters!

So,

he lifted his feet and slowly walked to the left,

observing Li Xiao's movements as he walked!

However,

he saw that as he walked to the left,

Li Xiao's gaze also slowly moved to the left!

Seeing this,

Absalom was startled again!

Not bothering to analyze the situation,

he hurriedly ran to the right!

However,

as he ran to the right,

Li Xiao's gaze followed him to the right,

and the speed of his gaze even increased as he ran!

Seeing this,

Absalom couldn't believe it,

and began to run around frantically, back and forth, left and right!

However,

no matter how he ran,

Li Xiao's gaze always followed him closely!

After a long time,

Absalom was tired from running,

and stopped immediately,

not even caring that he was still invisible,

and couldn't help but shout at Li Xiao:

"Can you see me?"

Upon hearing this,

Li Xiao looked at him with the gaze of someone caring for a mentally disabled child,

and asked back:

"Isn't my gaze expressive enough?"

After receiving Li Xiao's affirmative answer,

Absalom finally put away his Devil Fruit ability,

and exited the state of invisibility!

He saw that on the empty ground Li Xiao had been staring at,

a figure suddenly appeared,

and it was none other than Absalom!

Absalom was a long-haired man with gorgeous clothing and a hideous face,

clearly having a human body,

yet he had the face of a lion,

looking at first glance like a Mink!

But in reality,

his lion mouth and jaw were just modifications by Hogback,

and he was still human in essence!

But this modified body allowed him to possess some animal strength,

thereby significantly improving his physical fitness and combat ability!

At this time,

Absalom asked Li Xiao with a sullen face:

"Why can you see me?"

Upon hearing this,

Li Xiao asked back:

"Who told you I was looking with my eyes?"

In fact,

Absalom, as a Clear-Clear Fruit user,

when he activates his ability,

the invisibility state produced by making his body transparent,

is indeed almost impossible for others to see,

even for the current Li Xiao!

But does that matter?

It doesn't matter at all!

Li Xiao locking onto him,

didn't need to use his eyes at all!

The power of spiritual sense is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine!

Moreover,

even if Li Xiao didn't have spiritual sense,

he could still perceive his existence through his own sensory ability,

it would just be a bit more blurry!

Absalom wasn't stupid either,

and hearing Li Xiao's words,

although he didn't know what method Li Xiao had used,

he realized it,

and then said to Li Xiao:

"To be able to see me after I've turned invisible, it seems you have some skills!"

"However, since you've stepped onto this ship, just honestly offer your shadow to Lord Moria!"

Having said that,

Absalom laughed wildly and rushed toward Li Xiao!

His partially animal-modified body allowed him to burst out with powerful strength,

With his legs exerting force,

he crossed a distance of tens of meters at an extremely fast speed,

and quickly rushed to Li Xiao's front!

However,

facing the incoming Absalom,

Li Xiao just glanced at him indifferently,

without even moving,

and with a single thought, released his peak Refining Qi into Spirit realm pressure!

Absalom, who was running at high speed,

suddenly felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him!

The next second,

his whole body slammed onto the ground,

unable to move!

With Li Xiao’s current strength,

dealing with a small fry of this level,

didn't require him to make a move at all,

it was just a matter of a single thought!

However,

Li Xiao was thinking about going to Alabasta to find Crocodile and arrange a meal,

and had no intention of dealing with him at all!

Therefore,

after releasing his pressure to suppress Absalom,

Li Xiao was too lazy to even finish him off,

and turned and rode a cloud away!

However,

Li Xiao hadn't gone far,

when he suddenly remembered something!

In the original work,

this Absalom seemed to be a pervert,

often using the Clear-Clear Fruit ability to peep at women!

After the Straw Hat crew accidentally broke in here,

he not only licked Robin,

but also sneaked in while Nami was bathing,

and even made a move!

Later, he even kidnapped Nami,

attempting to marry her!

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao looked back at Absalom, who was lying on the ground unable to move,

and felt that the lion-faced half of his face was extremely ugly,

the more he looked, the uglier it got!

A nameless fire welled up in his heart!

At the same time,

Absalom, who was pressed to the ground unable to move,

was filled with unspeakable shock and fear!

That person just now,

didn't even make a move on him,

just glanced at him,

and made him fall to the ground under a huge force,

unable to move at all!

His body was instinctively trembling,

and a sense of fear surged from his bones!
