Pirate: I can copy your ability

The few people who were about to arrive at the altar saw a new situation in front of them. Faced with the sudden arrival of the young man, they were very wary for a while.

"Welcome to the Golden City and pass the test to get here! My name is Potter, and I am the steward here."

This young man who calls himself Potter is the one who walked out of the bronze mirror.Facing Lu Gui and the others, Porter took the initiative to show up, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.

"Welcome? Test?"

Lu Gui stood in front of Buck and the others, his eye skills under his sunglasses instantly activated, and he was extremely vigilant.

"Yes, from the day the Golden City was born, it was just for someone to come here one day, pass all the tests, and inherit this city!"

[What he said was exactly what he thought. Could it be that this is really the case? 】

Lu Gui's pupils shrank, and he was shocked by the news he read. It was different from what they all expected.

The key is that the ability of the pupil fruit actually recognized his statement.

Are they really overthinking it, and is Golden City really choosing a successor?

Buck and the others behind him naturally heard Potter's words and were a little unbelievable. They were more willing to believe the truth they had inquired and deduced along the way.

They looked at Lu Gui unconsciously, hoping to get his explanation.

This action was naturally noticed by Potter, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, then quickly disappeared.

[It seems that this Lu Gui really has some ability to identify lies. Judging from his previous performance, he always obtained the information he wanted through face-to-face conversations.

Whether it was Maeno Nagayasu or other people he met later, he quickly knew what he wanted through this method.

And he can quickly determine whether it is true or false, otherwise, he would not be able to go straight to the Golden City.

Fortunately, the entire island was under the surveillance of Bronze Mirror, so no such important information was missed.

Before coming here, this body was originally a stand-in and had been modified to shield it from all detection methods. Let me see if there is any other way you can get information from me. 】

Just as he thought, Lu Gui had doubts about his ability for the first time.

He didn't believe that things would be as simple as Potter said, but his ability to read minds had never failed before.

For a moment, he was stumped. He also realized that he had relied too much on mind-reading before, and now it became difficult to even judge whether a person was honest or not.

"Are you the housekeeper here? So, who is its owner and where is it now?

Moreover, the Golden City has existed for a long time. Have you always inherited the inheritance in an orderly manner? Is there someone who will take over the position of you and your master?

Or should I say that you have lived from the beginning until now? "

Lu Gui's silence surprised Buck and the others. After a while, looking at Lu Gui who was still silent, Annie asked her question.

"I know that when you get here, you must have a lot of questions, and at the same time, you will also have doubts about my identity.

I can understand all of this, and I can answer these questions for you later.

I am the housekeeper, so naturally there will be a master here.He is in the palace in front, and you can see him when they pass the last level. "

Young Potter looked very polite and pointed towards the palace after speaking.

As for his words, the fruit of the pupil technique still showed that he was undoubtedly speaking from his heart.

Lu Gui's brows were furrowed, but since he had doubts, he would naturally not do what the other party said.

“We have no interest in staying here and inheriting this city, and we don’t believe everything you say.

Now, we are going to that altar to see if you want to stop it or do you want to take action? "

"It's understandable, I wouldn't trust a stranger I just met.

But it is the rule here to go to the palace first. I don’t need to stop you. You can’t get to the altar now. If you don’t believe it, you can try it. "

After Potter finished speaking, he stepped aside. His reaction once again exceeded everyone's expectations and gave his previous words more credibility.

"Lu Gui, what should we do now?"

Beilu looked at the altar and the palace, feeling a little confused.

"Captain, are his words credible? Is there something wrong?"

Buck and the others gathered around, talking in low voices.

"Although my ability proves that the other party is not lying, my intuition tells me that this should not be the case."

Lu Gui did not hide his situation, he also needed to consult other people's opinions.

"I don't believe the nonsense he said about inheritance, but looking at the other party's behavior and seeming to be aboveboard, it's really a headache!"

Joe scratched his hair with his hands and said worriedly.

“I think that he has his say in this matter and we have ours to do, so there is no need to dwell on this matter.

He himself said that no one would believe someone they met for the first time.As originally planned, we went to the altar first to see what he said actually happened, and then came back to explore the palace.

You have to choose a path first before you can know whether the path you are taking is the right one. "

Buck's point of view was recognized by everyone, and Lu Gui had no objection, so the group of them still insisted on their original idea.

The altar is right in front of you. If you don't go there and give it a try first, how can you be willing to do it?

Potter watched quietly from the side and did not say anything to stop him.The statement that one must go to the palace first is not a lie.

This is the last level standing in front of Lu Gui and the others, and it is also Bronze Mirror's last resort.

It concentrated the power it could control and tied the palace and the altar together.

Although the two buildings appear to be side by side, to get to the altar, you can only go around the palace and cannot get there directly.

Lu Gui and his party followed their own ideas, passed by Porter, and walked toward the altar.

It didn't look far away, but after walking for a while, the distance didn't shorten at all.

Several people couldn't help but speed up, but more than ten minutes later, the result was still the same.

Lu Gui used his space ability to sense his surroundings and found that the space structure here was abnormally disordered. This made him afraid to use his ability at will for fear of being swept away by the turbulent flow of space.

Everyone stopped temporarily, and Lu Gui used his pupil technique to carefully observe the connection between the altar and the palace.

In the end, he gained nothing, and he couldn't see how to break the situation. In other words, his current level of development was not enough to fully utilize the fruit of the pupil technique.

The situation at this time seemed to be just as Potter said, skipping the palace and going directly to the altar would not succeed.

"Let's go back. It seems that we won't be able to achieve our goal of leaving without passing through the palace and meeting the so-called city lord."

Lu Gui turned around, looked at the palace in the distance and Potter who was still standing nearby, and said seriously.

"I'm afraid it's a bigger trap!"

Annie sighed.

"It's really endless. We just want to get out of here. Why is it so difficult?"

“Perhaps our idea may be more dangerous to the owner here.

Maybe the inheritance is real, but the price may be to stay here forever. "

Buck expressed what everyone was worried about.

"No matter what the other party's purpose is, we have no choice now. Let's go. I guess the palace is the last checkpoint, otherwise there is no need for a butler to suddenly appear."

Others also thought it made sense, so they followed the rules and returned to the starting point.

"Are you planning to enter this palace with us?"

Seeing Potter with a smile on his face, Lu Gui asked aloud.

"Yes, my task is to guide the trespassers to the location of the city lord. The palace is too big, and without me leading the way, they will take many wrong paths.

And it will also take too long. Our city lord doesn't like to wait for people. "

"Since we are in a hurry, why did we set up obstacles to stop us before?"

"Haha, you have to weigh your strength to see if it is enough to meet the city lord and inherit this place."

Porter explained patiently, and led Lu Qi and the others to the door of the palace. With a gentle push, a wide and straight avenue appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Gui and his party stepped inside. Various golden trees were planted on both sides of the road.

Further away, there are corridors and walls full of Chinese style. There is a main hall directly in front, but after entering, it is clear that there is no one at all.

There were many auspicious clouds and mythological stories carved on the walls and pillars. Lu Gui looked at them carefully and had a strange look on his face.

"What are these murals talking about? Are they people with abilities who have eaten devil fruits before?"

"Devil Fruit?"

When Porter heard Lu Gui's words, he couldn't help but curled his lips and repeated them.Feeling that this shouldn't be the case, he quickly returned to normal.

"No, they are all gods, and they are the same existence as the first-generation city lord here."

"Gods? They are just powerful humans. Where do the gods come from!"

Lu Gui followed Potter's words and said calmly with no expression on his face.

"Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Can the island under your feet and the buildings here be created by human power?"

Porter was a little dissatisfied with Lu Gui's attitude. Maybe it was because he hadn't been in contact with people for too long, or maybe he felt that he was offended. There was no enthusiasm in his voice at the beginning.

"Why do you think people with devil fruit abilities can't do the things you said?"

"Even if it can be done, how did the Devil Fruit come about? Are they also grown by humans?"

Porter's question made Lu Gui and the others stunned.

The origin of the Devil Fruit has been speculated by everyone, and there are different opinions. Naturally, there is also the theory that it was left behind by the gods.

And from the look of Potter, he meant it was all done by gods.

"Since you said that gods really exist, then where have they gone? What is the situation with the lord of this city!

And if we inherit this place, what will happen to your master and you? Will we be able to leave here, or will we have somewhere else to go? "

Potter's steps didn't stop and he didn't turn around.He was in front, leading Lu Qi and the others through the hall and to a square.

He smiled at the question that came into his ears, and then answered it in a calm voice.

“How can I, a little butler, know what the gods are thinking?

I guess if they are not here, they have returned to the place where the gods live.

As for the final destination of the City Lord and I, we can only figure it out after you actually inherit this place, but I can’t tell you. "

"The way he talks is so secretive, it's really hard to believe."

Joe looked at the things in the square and curled his lips.

"Haha, if you can pass this level, you will know everything you want to know.

So, let’s get started now! "
