One Piece: Reign in the Name of Death

The giant lion kicked its limbs violently, and its strong body moved as fast as the wind as it pounced on Rukia Kuchiki who was closest to it.

Nami turned pale at the sight.

But when he thought of the powerful strength of Rukia Kuchiki and others, his fear was instantly put down.

If the sea can be frozen, what about a mere wild beast?

Kuchiki Rukia remained expressionless, and slowly grasped Sode no Shirayuki with her right hand.

Whoosh!

Rukia Kuchiki flashed and slipped under the claws of the giant lion.

Even the initial release was useless, the sode in his hand fiercely slashed through the giant lion's abdomen.

puff!

In an instant, blood gushed out of the giant lion's abdomen, and one could even see the violently throbbing internal organs inside the wound!

The giant lion howled and looked at Kuchiki Rukia with eyes full of horror.

I thought it was just a snack to add to my meal.

Unexpectedly, it was a deadly poison wrapped in honey!

After eating the devil fruit, this giant lion has acquired intelligence that is no less than that of humans.

After being severely damaged by Rukia Kuchiki in one move, it became cautious and did not attack rashly again.

Seeing that the giant lion did not make any further moves, Rukia Kuchiki was not in a hurry to take his life.

Augro even discovered that the amount of bleeding from the wound inflicted by Rukia Kuchiki was rapidly decreasing!

Even the wounds are healing slowly!

"Hmm? It's true that the Animal-type Fruit can enhance physical fitness, but it shouldn't be that outrageous, right?"

Auguro was a little confused, and then his expression changed.

"Could it be that the fruit eaten by this lion is not an ordinary animal-type fruit?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, the giant lion roared and its entire body expanded again.

The two sharp teeth on the upper and lower parts of the mouth grew rapidly, and were as long as a human arm!

The cold light flashing on it is frightening, and its sharpness is no less than that of a famous sword!

"Wow, he's an ancient species!"

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ancient species of the Cat-Cat Fruit, the lion form!

"Tsk! The pirate who hid the treasure is really lucky! If this thing is taken to the Grand Line to sell, it will fetch at least 500 million Beli!" Augro sighed.

Unfortunately, this pirate’s luck was not good enough. He died at Click’s hands before he could sell the devil fruit!

After activating the ability of the fruit, the giant lion's physical strength was further enhanced. Although the wound did not heal, at least the bleeding stopped.

Feeling the powerful force gushing out of his body, the giant lion suddenly felt that he was able to recover.

Its eyes were fixed on Kuchiki Rukia.

It was this little bug that caused me to be so seriously injured.

It would be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I chew her up and eat her!

"Roar!"

The entire cave was shaking slightly, and the giant lion actually straightened its body and stood on its two feet!

Augro knew that this was the human-beast form of the Animal-type Fruit, and it was also the form with the strongest comprehensive ability!

Teng!

The giant lion stomped its feet on the ground and rushed towards Kuchiki Rukia again at twice the speed.

The tough claws swung towards Kuchiki Rukia's head with the force of splitting mountains and splitting rocks.

However, Rukia Kuchiki pointed her toes and used Shunpo to instantly reach the back of the giant lion's neck, and then she slashed with Sode no Shirayuki.

Pfft!

A large pool of blood splashed on the back of the giant lion's neck, and it didn't even see how Rukia Kuchiki disappeared!

The giant lion jumped violently in severe pain and hit the top of the cave directly, causing a large piece of rubble to fall down.

Auguro frowned.

The giant lions' fighting noise was so loud that the caves could easily collapse.

"Rukia, solve this as soon as possible!"

Auguro doesn't want to be buried here!

After hearing Augro's words, Kuchiki Rukia also became serious and chanted the first words directly.

"Dance! Sou Shirayuki!"

Then she tapped the tip of the knife lightly on the ground four times, and a terrifying chill immediately condensed on the blade.

The giant lion's keen beast instinct immediately realized that something was wrong, and it turned around and ran towards the cave entrance.

However, Kuchiki Rukia remained standing still, raising her Sode no Shirayuki and pointing the tip of the blade at the giant lion.

"Cimai Bailian!"

call!

A gust of cold white air passed by like a gust of wind, instantly sweeping across the entire cave.

Wherever it passed, a thick layer of frost formed.

The giant lion stood at the entrance of the cave. The moment the cold air hit it, its whole body froze into a huge piece of ice, but its body still maintained the posture of running away standing on two feet, like a lifelike ice sculpture.

Sure enough, his strength is still far from that of the original one!

Auguro thought secretly.

If he had this power and speed, Click wouldn't have had half of his body frozen!

After confirming that the devil fruit was gone, Augro planned to leave immediately.

However, Nami was reluctant to part with the treasures, so she instigated Rukia Kuchiki and Rangiku Matsumoto to help her move a lot of gold, silver and Bailey.

They even put it in a nice way, saying that after spending so much time and energy, they absolutely cannot return empty-handed!

Auguro shook his head helplessly and could only let it go.

"Ding!"

Unexpectedly, the system sounded a prompt at this time.

"A powerful ownerless soul has been detected. Do you want to absorb it?"

Auguro was stunned.

A powerful ownerless soul?

What is that?

Then, with the help of the system, Auguro saw a black, mist-like object slowly floating out from the top of the giant lion's head.

“Is this the soul?”

At first, Oguro thought it was the soul of the giant lion.

But then he realized something was wrong.

This black soul exudes a smell of evil and curse, and it is completely unlike a normal soul.

Suddenly, Augro's eyes lit up, "Could it be that this is the soul of the devil in the devil fruit?"

There have always been rumors that the devil fruit contains the devil's soul, so those who eat it will gain various magical powers.

Now it seems that the rumor is true!

"System, how do I absorb this thing?" Auguro asked impatiently.

"There are two options! The first is to absorb it directly into the system, and then it can be exchanged for rewards of different levels according to the quality of the soul!"

"The second method is to absorb into an object selected by the host. The object will gain corresponding special abilities!"

Augro's eyes lit up, isn't this the ability of the plundering devil fruit?

Originally, after the death of a Devil Fruit user, the Devil Fruit would be reborn at a random location.

But the system can intercept it directly!

Soon, Auguro had another idea.

"System, if I find a fruit to absorb this soul, will the fruit become a devil fruit?"

The system was silent for a moment, as if it was analyzing something.

Soon after, the system gave a reply, "Yes! And the host can consume devil fruits to redeem system rewards at any time!"

Pretty!

Auguro clenched his fist in excitement.

This way, you can retain the right to redeem rewards and also give the Devil Fruit to others when needed!

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Auguro immediately picked a random fruit from the woods.

"System, absorb the soul into the fruit!"

Under the guidance of the system, the demon soul was completely poured into the fruit.

Soon, the surface of the fruit twisted and eventually formed the devil fruit style that Augro was familiar with.

"Not only did I solve the secret of the devil fruit, but I also got an unexpected reward! Hehe, this wave is really worth it!"

From now on, every time he kills a special ability user, he will get a devil fruit!

"By the way, what reward can this devil fruit be exchanged for?" Augro asked curiously.

"Ding! Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Species, Lion Form detected. Redeemable for an epic lottery ticket!"
