Pirates: Devour All Evil

"The needle doesn't poke~"

After Karsus ate Gardino, the heart hanging on the ceiling of the fortified city space once again had another color.

That is the heart of the melting phenomenon produced after the pale yellow candle burns.

Now Karsus looked at the heart on the ceiling of his body and began to count how many devil fruits he had.

"Swallow-swallow fruit, Snow-Snow fruit, Strong Castle fruit, Door-door fruit, Transparent fruit, Ghost fruit, Shadow-shadow fruit, Slippery fruit, Barrier fruit, Momo fruit, Wine-wine fruit, Nine-tailed fox fruit, Fusion fruit, Giant fruit, Split fruit, Wax-wax fruit."

There are a total of sixteen devil fruits, except for the Swallow-Swallow Fruit at the beginning, all of which were obtained by Karsas bit by bit, using all means possible.

These fruits are all accompanied by Karsus' growth and sadness.

In order to rise up when he was weak, he was resolute and desperate to obtain the snow-white fruit.

What's more, after their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, they use their own powerful strength to seize the incredible fruits in a fair and open manner.

These fruits represent the glorious years of Karsus' struggle and are the key to Karsus' success.

Just like a small snowball rolling down a snowy mountain, on the way forward, it has already turned into a huge monster that blocks out the sky and the sun.

As Karsus looked at the wax-wax fruit he had obtained, a bold idea came to his mind.

What if I disguise myself as my third brother Gardino and use the Wax-Wax Fruit?

But after thinking about the feasibility, it is simply not possible.

First of all, Gardino’s weak strength is impossible to imitate.

Secondly, he had just obtained the Wax-Wax Fruit, and his use and control of the ability might not be as good as his third brother Gardino.

After much thought, Karsus finally gave up on imitating Gardino.

This is because even if he only uses physical skills and domineering, Karsus has the real strength of an admiral. If he gives up this most powerful support and pursues the ability of the fruit he just obtained, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Back at Luffy's place, Karsus saw that Sphinx was using its other pasta names to slap the candle clone released by Gardino with its huge claws.

He is still so dedicated even after his death, he is worthy of being the third brother!

I will remember your heroic performance, Third Brother!

Karsas hid his mourning for his third brother and looked at Luffy standing beside him.

Karsus said to Luffy with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, Luffy, Gardino ran too fast and I didn't catch him back."

Luffy was fooled by Karsas's frowning brows.

"Ah! Never mind, if he wants to run, let him run!"

Luffy said this even though he didn't care, but he still looked back to see if his third brother was still there.

He felt somewhat depressed when he found out that his third brother Gardino was indeed gone.

“Udon!”

"cold noodle!"

“Hand-rolled noodles!”

"..."

The Sphinx's fierce attack dealt an inhuman blow to the second floor.

Eventually cracks appeared.

When Karsus and Luffy saw the cracks on the floor, their pupils shrank suddenly and they had a bad premonition.

"No!"

"what!"

The two watched as the cracks on the ground became more and more numerous and gradually spread to everyone's feet.

In fact, Karsus could have flown up, but in order to be immersive, Karsus chose to take the fall damage.

"Boom!" x2

Followed by two clear sounds of falling to the ground.

Karsus and Luffy fell to the third floor of Impel Down, a desert area known as the Hunger Hell.

"It's so hot!"

Luffy had just reached the third floor. Because he was wearing the huge slippers, his feet were in great pain. He was so burned that he jumped up and down like an ant on a hot pan.

"Damn it, what kind of weather is this? It's so hot!"

Luffy stomped his feet on the floor, cursing the damn weather.

"Don't waste your energy. This is the third level of the Hunger Hell in Advance City. No food or water will be provided on this level. Save some energy and try not to starve to death!"

Karsas said so.

"Then why is it so hot!"

Luffy stuck out his tongue and complained with dissatisfaction, sweating profusely.

"Because the fourth layer of the scorching hell contains volcanoes and magma, the third layer is naturally extremely hot due to the scorching heat."

Karsas was not impatient and explained everything about the third floor to Luffy bit by bit.

"Ah! What is this!"

Luffy was shocked when he walked past a dried corpse tied to a cross.

"Ah! That, it's just a dried corpse."

The third layer consisted of unfortunate people who were tied to crosses and starved to death due to lack of food and water.

"Due to the dry desert climate, these corpses may become grains of sand under our feet."

Karsus spared no effort in creating the terrifying atmosphere of the third floor.

After realizing that the sand under their feet might be made of some people's flesh and bones, Luffy screamed and ran away.

But Karsus was a little confused.

I'm not afraid of them when they're alive, so why should I be afraid of them when they're dead?

Shaking his head, Karsus also caught up with the running Luffy.

"Didn't you agree to conserve your energy? Why are you running again?"

Karsus simply couldn't bear to see Luffy being so stupid.

"Yes, we need to conserve our energy."

Luffy then walked slowly.

After passing a group of ancient buildings, the two returned to their original position. Both Karsus and Luffy noticed that the atmosphere was not good.

Anyway, Luffy's intuition told him that there was an ambush here.

Because it’s the same feeling as the last time I was ambushed.

"Luffy be careful!"

As soon as Karsus said this, a blue jailer gorilla, like a mad buffalo, came up with a big axe and chopped him down.

Even though he is not very strong, his physique is more than two meters tall and he still has the necessary strength.

Luffy quickly jumped up towards the building above.

The short prison chief, Sarudez, came out holding a black trident.

"You're finally here, Straw Hat Luffy, and what's this lady's name?"

Although Sarudez is short in stature, he is wearing a white suit and still has the gentlemanly demeanor.

"My name is——BIG MOM!"

Karsus still remembered the prison chief clearly. He was a smart guy, but not strong enough.

"It's worth my painstaking efforts to bring you here..."

"Hey! We are lost, let's just walk around aimlessly!"

Karsas couldn't help but interrupt.

"Um……"

Sarudez didn't say much, but raised his right hand and made a tightening motion.

"Close the net!"

With a loud shout, Karsus, Luffy, and the huge Sphinx were all hoisted onto the net.

"Damn it, this net is made of seastone!"

Luffy was caught in the net and felt a little angry.

Is this the end of Karsas and Luffy's adventure?
