Pirates: The Scientist Who Became the Ultimate Lifeform.

The attack on the stage lasted for more than ten minutes, and even the people watching felt a little bored.

At this time, Locke was already breathing heavily, and constantly swinging the battle axe in his hand to attack was very exhausting.

After attacking continuously for so long, even though he was a giant, he felt tired.

Seeing that Locke gave up attacking because of fatigue, Cross walked up to Locke with his hands in his pockets and an indifferent look on his face.

There was no sign of disorder in his breathing, and there were no wounds on his body except for a little dust. He was very different from Locke, who was breathing heavily and looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the opponent had been almost exhausted by him, Cross changed his previous casual attitude and finally launched an attack on Locke in front of him.

He pulled his hands out of his pockets and his body was like lightning, instantly appearing in the air.

Cross's fist turned black, and a strong aura of armed color wrapped around his fist, and he hit Locke's head.

Seeing this, Locke immediately raised the giant axe in his hand to block.

With a bang, Cross's punch hit the axe, and the powerful force caused the other side of the axe to hit Locke's face directly.

With another bang, Locke's nose was broken and blood started flowing from his nose instantly.

Seeing Locke closing his eyes and crying instinctively, Cross knew this was a great opportunity.

He swung his legs and a powerful wind blade formed, which directly hit Locke's body, leaving a huge gash on his chest.

Locke took a few steps back, but finally managed to hold himself up when he was about to fall.

He used his left hand, which was not holding the axe, to grab his twisted nose and force it back.

Wiping away the tears, Locke looked fiercely at Cross who fell to the ground.

He has fought against Cross many times and he knows clearly the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

As a giant, he has an advantage in physical strength and power.

The Cross in front of him is proficient in speed and physical skills, and his two-color domineering skills are also very good.

Combined with his strong physical fitness, he can almost completely defeat his opponents.

Logically, both sides are very strong and should not fight in the first round. They should fight in the final competition for the strongest devil fruit.

But it was not Caesar who arranged the battle roster, but Duke, Brocky and others.

The reason why they arranged Locke in front of Cross so early was because of Locke's idea. He didn't want the devil fruit, he just wanted to have a big battle with Cross.

At this time, Cross had already distanced himself from Locke, and a huge wound on Locke's chest was bleeding continuously.

Locke's chest muscles exerted force so hard that the huge cut on his chest was forced together. Such an injury would not allow him to give up the fight.

At this moment, Locke felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and the axe in his hand burst out with several times more power than before.

The power of the axe with the howling wind has exceeded the power that Locke originally possessed.

Even Duke felt a little pressured after seeing this scene. He was worried that his apprentice would not be able to take on this move.

When Cross felt the power of the axe, he suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

Although he is not weak in any field, he is ultimately no match for the giants in terms of strength.

So he chose to stay out of the spotlight for the time being?

Do not!

Cross's whole body instantly turned pitch black, and powerful armament domineering aura condensed on his fist.

Immediately afterwards, the life return was activated and his body swelled up rapidly.

All the powerful force was poured into this punch, and the attacks from both sides collided in an instant.

Cross's fist hit Locke's axe hard, making a sound of metal friction.

A crackling sound was heard, and someone had already discovered that a crack had appeared where Locke's axe had collided with Cross's fist.

As the sound of metal breaking became more and more obvious, the axe was broken with a bang.

When seeing this scene, Caesar began to be moved.

The power of the punch just now is not even something that even an elite admiral of the Navy Headquarters who has mastered the dual-color domineering technique for 20 years can possess.

The most important thing is that Caesar saw the Ryuo Haki in this punch.

"Interesting, this guy is really a genius in personal skills."

Clo looked at the axe that was broken into two pieces with lifeless eyes and finally sighed helplessly.

"I admit defeat. You win this battle, Cross. Congratulations."

"This is my 26th failure. I will definitely defeat you next time."

After saying that, Locke picked up the other half of the broken axe and left the ring.

Another half day of fighting followed, and after it was over, it was time for everyone to choose their devil fruits.

The questionable haze fruit was finally obtained by Cross.

Caesar also learned about Cross's life experience during his conversation with Duke and others.

Cross is a disaster victim from a non-governmental member country of the Grand Line.

To be precise, his kingdom was originally a member of the World Government, but because it could not afford the high Heavenly Gold, it was forced to give up its status as a member of the World Government.

As a result, the kingdom suffered a large number of pirate invasions, but fortunately it could still hold on at the beginning.

But later, because Roger opened the Age of Discovery, the number of pirates increased dramatically and his kingdom could no longer support itself. It was destroyed by many pirate groups five years ago.

Without the status of a member of the World Government, the navy would not come to help, and in the end his kingdom was destroyed.

His parents were killed by the pirates, but he survived by hiding in a muddy puddle.

Finally, after the pirates left, he dug a big hole with his hands and buried his parents.

Then Cross came to the Shipping King's men and knelt down.

He wanted to join Caesar's army to gain the power for revenge.

In this way, the other party was sent to the Sky Island by the Shipping King, and it took him five years to transform from an ordinary boy into a physical strength expert comparable to an elite vice admiral of the navy.

What supports his progress is his hatred for pirates, the navy, the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

Duke can guarantee that the other party's background is absolutely innocent and that he is very loyal to the Caesar Pirates.

After confirming that there was no problem, Caesar handed the haze fruit to Cross.

Cross held the gray devil fruit excitedly. He knew that his talent was not as good as those monsters in the sea.

Even if he only rested for four hours a day and basically exercised all day, it was far from enough.

He knew that such training had already overdrawn a lot of his potential.

If you want to become stronger faster, the only way is to eat a devil fruit.

When he took a bite of the haze fruit, a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face.

But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and swallowed the magic fruit into his stomach.

As he ate the fruit, his body began to change.

Gray smoke emanated from his body, and he became a natural smog man.

Looking at Cross happily testing the power of the Devil Fruit.

Caesar believes that after obtaining this fruit, Cross will grow to greater heights in the future and contribute to Caesar's plan.
