Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 157 Unchained! (two-in-one chapter)

At this moment, the sound of the dinosaur monster stopped, and an invisible slash had already passed its neck quietly.

"Huh... Fortunately, I caught up with it..."

Sophie, who had closed her eyes, only felt her body tighten, and the next moment, she was hugged in a warm embrace.She opened her eyes, and immediately saw Ethan's gentle smiling face.

"Brother Yi...Big Brother Ethan?"

"That's right." Ethan smiled slightly. Amidst the exclamation of the villagers, the large dinosaur-like beast crashed down, and Ethan and Sophie also fell to the ground.

"That, that... is that Brother Ethan??" Xia Nuo who was standing by the cage looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help crying out.

With a black collar and a gentle smile, that's right!
"Brother Ethan? Is that the man you mentioned earlier?"

"Xia Nuo, do you know him?"

The adults wanted to gag their children, but the children still asked Xia Nuo about Ethan.

Golden Lion Shiji lit a thick cigar, with a mocking smile on his face: "Why are you still so alive and kicking?"

"I won't die if you die!" Ethan replied without raising his head.He carried the weak Sophie to the edge of the iron cage, cut off the metal railing with a single knife, and put Sophie next to her mother.

"You...you...thank you, thank you!" Sophie's mother broke down in tears.

"Hey! You kid! Who will allow you..." The guards gathered around one after another, and Ethan rushed into the guards with a dodge. He raised his knife and fell, but the guards were chopped off by Ethan one after another. .

"Don't, don't get close to him! Use a gun!" Before the person who said this had time to take down the gun on his back, he was chopped off in the middle by Ethan's long-distance slash.

The villagers looked at Ethan in shock. With Xia Nuo's explanation just now, they all knew about Ethan's origin.An outsider, just because of an agreement with Sophie, took the risk to help her steal IQ from the golden lion?

Regarding the origin of IQ, Ethan didn't explain much to Xia Nuo, so she naturally imagined the scene where Ethan stole IQ from the Golden Lion.

"Not only that! Brother Ethan said yesterday that he came today to defeat Shiji!" Xia Nuo said proudly, although at first, she didn't believe that Ethan could really do this.But seeing that Ethan killed a group of guards with ease, and he didn't know how to do it, even knocking down that big monster, then Shi Ke must have...

"Jie ha ha ha ha, beat me?" The golden lion laughed strangely as if he had been amused, "Has the current rookie reached this point of arrogance?"

"But..." He spit out a long puff of smoke from the corner of his mouth, "I like it! 'Evil Spirit of Flame' Ethan! Do you want to join me!"

"Join you?" Ethan sneered, and was about to refute something, but suddenly he was slightly taken aback, "Eh? Why would you... Ah, I see. It seems that the navy has started to arrest me?"

Ethan's guess was correct. A few days ago, the Golden Lion's intelligence department had obtained Ethan's arrest warrant.This time the navy didn't know why, as if they had given up on their previous ideas, and began to hunt down Ethan.

"That's right! Join me! My plan will start to be implemented in about two years... At that time, you can follow my command and avenge the navy and the world government together!" Golden Lion said proudly.

"Huh?" Ethan tilted his head and looked at the golden lion, a little dumbfounded.

Although he didn't know what the plan the Golden Lion was talking about, he knew the ending of the Golden Lion!
Ethan has never watched the theatrical version of the story about the Golden Lion, but he knows with his feet that at the end of the story, the Golden Lion must have been defeated by Luffy who has not yet learned domineering!
Even if there are factors of the protagonist's aura mixed in, it also means to a certain extent that the plan in the mouth of the Golden Lion is far from the level of "revenge against the world government" that is so arrogant and domineering. Woolen cloth.

Thinking of this, Ethan couldn't help curling his lips.

Seeing Ethan's expression, Shi Ke was furious.

"I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth." Shi Ji's tone was full of contempt, "You think I'm interested in your strength? Don't make me laugh, your ability is not even worth killing me! "

"However, your ability really makes me very interested..." Shi Ji smiled darkly, "You are not afraid of Hailoushi, but you can control flames like a devil fruit capable person... Wait until I catch you Finally, I will definitely ask Indigo to study you well, you will be an indispensable part of my plan! Jiehahahahahaha..."

"Really?" Ethan laid the Wufeng Blade across his chest, stared at the golden lion and said, "Then stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

As soon as the words fell, Ethan started running wildly!

The stone platform built by the boulders is not too far away from Ethan, and after waking up, his body has improved in all aspects, but within a few seconds, Ethan has already jumped high and headed towards Shiji. rushed over!

"Huh!" Shiji snorted coldly, Ethan felt a strong wind coming from his left and right sides, he could feel it without looking, it turned out that it was two big rocks, one left and one right hitting him!

There was no place to draw strength in the air, and Ethan swung out several sword qi in an instant, one part was aimed at the golden lion, and the other part was aimed at the two boulders!

boom!
The boulders on both sides were shattered by the sword energy, and the golden lion flew towards Ethan after receiving the sword energy forcefully!
"Boy!"

The golden lion's hands were covered with a layer of deep black paint, and it grabbed Ethan's neck directly, and pressed Ethan directly to the ground.

boom!
The ground was cracked inch by inch. In the center of the crack, the golden lion grabbed Ethan's neck and laughed arrogantly: "Is this your full strength? Where's your fire? Don't you still transform?" Is it? Transform and show me!"

One of Ethan's hands tightly held onto the golden lion's dark wrist, his face was already flushed from suffocation, while the other hand held the sharp blade, calmly stabbing at the flaws on the golden lion's body!

"Hmph!" The golden lion punched Ethan's chest, and his body retreated. At the same time, his legs kicked fiercely, and the sword energy flew towards Ethan on the ground!
Ethan, who was freed suddenly, rolled over to dodge in a hurry, but he was still unable to dodge in time, and a sword qi left a bloody wound on his back.

"Brother Ethan!"

Anxious cries sounded at the same time, and Sophie and Xia Nuo looked at Ethan worriedly.

Ethan shook his head. The pain on his back didn't make him feel much discomfort. After he moved the muscles on his back a little, the long wound stopped bleeding very quickly!

"Huh?" Golden Lion frowned, a little surprised by Ethan's resilience, but soon Indigo's voice sounded, "It's evolution! He really evolved! Master Shiji, the human experiment was successful! He even It has evolved a super recovery ability!"

"So that's how it is..." Golden Lion nodded in satisfaction, "In this way, I don't have to worry about accidentally killing you."

"Phew... it's almost..." Ethan let out a foul breath, and before everyone could react, he charged at the golden lion again without saying a word!

"Or just rush up like that?" Golden Lion frowned, feeling something was wrong, but couldn't say it.

"Ground roll!" He raised his hand, and the ground on Ethan's walking path suddenly lifted, blocking Ethan's sight. At this moment, the golden lion came to Ethan in a flash!
But Ethan seemed to have seen him, Wufengblade had pierced through the lifted ground and stabbed straight at the golden lion!

"Little ghost! Don't you have a long memory?" The golden lion laughed and stretched out his hand, directly grasping Ethan's sword, his expression froze for a moment: "Wood?"

Boom!
Just when he was stunned, Ethan's fist passed through the raised ground and hit the golden lion's face!

Ethan's physical skills were not much worse than his sword skills, and facing the Golden Lion, he even showed all his abilities.

After Wufeng was held by the golden lion, Ethan simply let go of his hand, and directly used his fists and kicks to fight with the golden lion.

The Golden Lion's swordsmanship is indeed the best in the world, but at this time his sword has been tied to his feet and is used as a prosthetic limb. His old swordsmanship can only be used as a kicking technique. , it is difficult for him to display his kicking skills calmly at this distance.

But this is just an ideal statement. The real situation is that he didn't even need to use his kicking skills, and he had already beaten Ethan to the point where he was almost powerless to fight back.

Facing the golden lion's armed and domineering fists, no matter how much strength Ethan used, he was still unable to cause any harm to him.Not only that, the fist wrapped in the armed domineering, in addition to being invulnerable, its power and destructive power will also be greatly improved, and the armed domineering of the Golden Lion has gone through a lot of tempering, which makes it almost impossible for Ethan to parry. , he was so shocked that he spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Ambition Iron Fist!"

Shouting this shameful skill name, Ethan's fist even caused a circle of ripples in the air, colliding with the golden lion's fist!
Boom!
The air seemed to be shaken, Ethan's arm went limp, and his right arm was already bent at a strange angle.

"Ugh!!"

The huge recoil made Ethan's feet lighten, and his body flew upside down.

"That's enough!" The golden lion shook his head, and said with a bit of disinterestedness, "I wanted to see you use your special ability, but it seems that you don't cooperate very much... It doesn't matter, after I catch you, I will Let Indigo analyze you thoroughly..."

Ethan, who fell on the ground, broke out in cold sweat in pain, but he still clenched his teeth and did not cry out. He groped slowly, and his arms turned back bit by bit.

"Can even fractures be recovered? It's a good direction of evolution..." The golden lion became more and more satisfied. When he looked at Ethan, his eyes seemed to be looking at a rare treasure, "Surrender obediently, the current you , I don’t even have any interest in doing it.”

"It makes you feel bored..." Ethan slowly got up, but bravely rushed towards the golden lion again, the speed was a bit faster than before!
"I'm really sorry!"

Seeing Ethan's actions, the Golden Lion sneered and said, "It seems that I really think highly of you, you reckless fool!"

He suddenly raised his hand and shook it hard.

"Lion Power Earth Scroll!"

As soon as the golden lion's voice fell, the surface was lifted again, but this time the momentum was far greater than before!

The ground shook violently, and the ground around Ethan rose up, as if forming a basin. Soon, the raised ground around him began to shatter into the shape of a lion's head, roaring and surging towards Ethan!
Ethan didn't even have time to make a sound, the lion's head seemed to block out the sun, crushing and enveloping Ethan in an instant!
The next moment, the wrapped sandstone began to curl into a round stone body reaching the sky, and Ethan was sealed in this stone pillar.

The villagers looked at this unspeakable scene, and they all showed unbearable expressions. The older people still remembered that Xiaodao was directly held by Shiji from the sea to the sky. There was little hope for the young man.

"How come... Big Brother Ethan..." Sophie and Xia Nuo stared blankly at the stone pillar, and shed tears.

"Hmph, I wasted a lot of effort to set up the venue, but I didn't expect it to end like this." The golden lion said in a disappointed tone. Just as he was about to wave his hand to bring Ethan back up, he heard a muffled voice from the stone pillar. :"Finish?"

boom!
The next moment, the stone pillar burst open!
At this time, Ethan's figure suddenly appeared in the smoke and dust. His body was entwined with bright flames. He raised his hands, feeling the hellfire that finally started to flow in his body again, and let out a hearty laugh: " Finally, finally back!"

"Oh? Flame?" The golden lion looked at the hellfire on Ethan with interest, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't be able to imagine it. You are still wearing a Hailoushi collar around your neck. If you can do such a thing, you...are you really not a devil fruit capable user?"

"Hey, thank you even speaking of it..." Ethan chuckled lightly.In front of him is the opened system interface. Although the skills are still unknown, his attribute values ​​are already clear at a glance.

Has it more than doubled compared to before...

It's not enough!
Ethan's figure flickered, and the hellfire exploded at the same time!Accompanied by the impact of the explosion, the flames drew a bright straight line in the air, and Ethan once again rushed towards the golden lion at an extremely fast speed!

……

Let's go back in time to a day ago.

Just after Ethan induced the electric current to hit the hellfire source in his heart, the energy in his body went berserk again, but this time, it was the three energies fighting in chaos!
The rushing electric current met the domineering hellfire, and the resulting conflict made Ethan miserable. To describe it, it was as if there were tens of thousands of ants in his body biting his flesh, and at the same time, he had a sharp knife The bone scraping knife was grinding his bones.

The extreme pain made Ethan's consciousness gradually blurred. At this moment, Ethan seemed to hear the simple and square voice of the North Wind Dragon again.

"...in evolution...suppression...completed!"

Its voice was intermittent and couldn't be heard clearly. Ethan only had time to hear these few key words, and the voice of the North Wind Shenlong dropped.

Strange to say, as soon as Beifeng Shenlong's voice disappeared, the pain in Ethan's body also stopped abruptly.

"Evolving", "suppressing", "finishing", is this the message it wants to send to me?
Ethan panted heavily, relieving the remaining pain, recalling the role of IQ in his mind, which is to accelerate the process of biological evolution due to external stimuli, and the injection of Indigo is an IQ medicine that has been purified hundreds of times liquid, that is...

"My body is 'evolving'? Are they... being 'suppressed'? And I need to 'complete' the evolution to awaken them?" Ethan speculated uncertainly.

Evolution...external stimuli...?
