Pirate: Fourth Scourge

Chapter 178

Luffy and others looked at Buggy, also very surprised, and then some gloated.

They can’t forget that Buggy almost beheaded Luffy in Logue town before.

“Hahaha, Buggy, I didn’t expect you to be caught in!” Nami approached the cell and joked.

“What are you proud of? Didn’t you also get caught?” Buggy hummed.

Nami stuck his tongue out and smiled, “Oh? Do you think we were caught in?”

“What?” Buggy seemed to notice a large number of players standing behind Luffy. “You are not handcuffed…are you?”

“That’s right! We came in on our own initiative!” Nami put his hands around his chest, and his expression was quite triumphant.

“What are you doing in here?” Buggy asked.

In fact, he really didn’t know why the Luffy gang came in here.

Although he knew that Ace was Roger’s son before, he didn’t know the relationship between Luffy and Ace.

“Why do you want to tell you?” Nami made a face and turned back to Luffy and the others. “Let’s go, ignore him.”

“Hey! Hey! Wait!”

Buggy yelled loudly from the prison, but no one answered him anymore.

Luffy and others are getting farther and farther away from Buggy’s cell, but at this moment, Marianne said, “That person just… was a little weird.”

“That person? Buggy? Don’t worry, that guy is always nervous.” Nami lowered his head slightly to look at Marian.

“You got it wrong… I am not referring to the strangeness on the surface, but…” Marie paused. “The main reason why I can control the mental will of others is that I can see a People’s’spiritual power’ can thus be directly controlled… However, that person’s spiritual power was a bit strange.”

“What a strange method…” Nami asked with interest.

“The mental power of our normal people is generally condensed into a whole, but that person… the mental power is actually divided into four parts.”

“Divided into four?” Chopper on the side was a little surprised. “You mean, is he a schizophrenic?”

He is a doctor, so naturally he also studies schizophrenia.

“How should I put it… I have seen the mental power of many schizophrenic patients before… The state of manifestation is completely different from what I just saw. The mental power of schizophrenic patients is in a broken state. , And his mental power is divided into four parts, so I am more inclined to him that it is not schizophrenia, but…split personality.” Marianne thought slightly and said.

“Split personality? Multiple personalities?” Chopper was a little surprised.

“Yes…but, the weird thing is… his mental power is still in an interactive state… if it is really split personality, it means… they may know each other The existence of the other party even… is in a state of being present at the same time!” Marianne made her strange point out of her own point of view.

“What…” Chopper’s voice was a little shocked.

In fact, the disease of “multiple personality” has always been a medical problem in this Pirate World. Even the Drum Kingdom, which had a “medical power” before, has not completely solved this eternal problem.

Multiple personalities means that there is more than one personality, which is like “living several different selves in one body.”

Generally speaking, each personality of a patient with multiple personality is stable, fully developed, and has its own thinking mode and memory.

The split personality is all-encompassing, and can have different genders, ages, races, and even species. They take turns to control the patient’s behavior. At this time, other personalities are unaware and have no memory of this period of time, that is, they fall into a “sleep”. state.

Most split personalities are not aware of each other’s existence, which will lead to a serious “lost time” phenomenon. Therefore, most people who realize that they may have split personality through this phenomenon will choose to seek treatment. It is the purpose of treatment, that is, to help the “core personality” of these different personalities integrate these multiple selves into one.The first step in this treatment is to let each personality only know each other.

But this is also the most critical step, and at the same time the most difficult step.

As far as Chopper knows, for thousands of years, the number of patients who have completely treated a split personality is zero.

“If that’s the case, how did he do it…” Chopper was a little excited.

He is a doctor! He was so interested in this kind of medically unsolved answer! There was even an urge to run back and ask Buggy immediately.

However, at this time Zoro spoke up.

“I remember… Buggy, someone who has the ability to ‘split the fruit’… Will this situation have something to do with his abilities?”

He was actually very impressed by Buggy, because he didn’t hurt the opponent no matter how he chopped it. It can be said to be his ultimate nemesis. Even if he is now the Master Armament Haki, he might not be able to hurt Buggy.

“Yes, since that guy’s body can be split, he should also be split with mental power? So I don’t think he is actually due to multiple personality or schizophrenia… It’s just the Devil Fruit ability. It’s just a normal phenomenon.” Nami also said.

“Huh? Split fruit? Is that so…” Marian suddenly realized.

Chopper heard what Zoro and Nami said, and was a little disappointed: “It turned out to be a phenomenon caused by the ability of the fruit… then it doesn’t make much sense.”

“Yes, don’t care about that guy, he has been arrested anyway, and he won’t be met again in the future.”

In the middle of this large team composed of Straw Hat Crew and players.

Kurotoki, who was hidden among the players, naturally heard Marianne’s words through the radio waves.

“Schizophrenia? Split personality? It seems that the trace of danger I felt in Buggy last time in Logue town was not an illusion…”

Brows furrowed when dark.

He actually prefers to believe Marian’s initial guess that Buggy’s personality is split.

Because he remembered the conversation with Roger when he was in the tavern.

When Roger heard Hei Shi talk about the huge gap between Buggy and Shanks, he couldn’t hide his surprise. He even said, “Even if you are, you can’t say that Buggy is’incapable’, right?”, that is to say, When Buggy was on Roger’s ship, the probability was basically the same as Shanks, and it was already very strong at that time.

In the real world, as early as hundreds of years ago, a speech pathologist named C. Ludlow confirmed that in patients with multiple personality states, all their voice forms are inconsistent. This can be inferred. One point, that is-under different personalities, their strengths are probably different.

“If this is the case, it would be interesting… Marianne said that Buggy’s mental powers are interacting with each other. That is to say, his current personality knows that he has other personalities besides himself. As for why he always uses this courage Little cowardly personality…Is it deliberately hiding strength? Or is there another reason?”

The team went farther and farther, and even the last player disappeared from Buggy’s sight.

“Joker, do you want to follow?”

“No, wait… this prison is a bit wrong now. The guards from the lower level have all disappeared. It’s impossible for people like straw hats to get rid of all the guards silently, right?”

“Those guards should be gathered through other more convenient ways to get down to the prison on other floors. Remember the elevator on the first floor above? It should be through that one.”

“If that’s the case, let’s go and take a look.”

——————

The third floor underground.

Magellan and a group of Impel down guards are already here waiting for the arrival of Luffy and others.

However, because of Magellan’s poisonous gas, everyone dared not get too close to him.

“Asshole, let Lai’s family stay in such a hot place…” Hancock said with one hand on his hips, pointing to Magellan.

“Be patient, the Straw Hat boys will be here soon.” Domino’s face was ruddy, I don’t know if it’s because the temperature on this floor is too high or because of my shyness.

After all, she was fascinated by Hancock the first time she saw Hancock.

Although this layer is called “Starvation Hell”, in fact, due to the heat coming up from the lower layer “Blazing Hell”, this layer is extremely hot, and the temperature even exceeds Blazing Hell.

“Why is it so slow? They won’t fix the lift?” Magellan is also not hot, he is already sweating in thick clothes.

“Report to the warden, there is no such possibility! Straw Hat Crew has reached the entrance of the second floor and will arrive here soon.” A prison guard reported.

“The monitoring room must always watch their whereabouts!”

“Yes!”

Suddenly, even if the hot cheeks were full of sweat, the bear was still expressionless and said, “Magellan, are you not afraid that they will release the prisoners?”

“Don’t worry, the prisoners on the upper two floors are all ordinary pirates. They can’t even beat the outside guards. As long as they are not the fifth and sixth floors of pirates to escape, it doesn’t matter.” Magellan said, “Furthermore, they Even if he was released, he couldn’t do without here. After all, when Marshal Sengoku gave the order, he must not let the straw hat boy go back alive.”

“Is that so…”

“That’s right, and they don’t have the key to the cell. You must know that these barriers are embedded with a lot of seastone, and the hardness is not comparable to ordinary steel.” Magellan continued.

——————

At this time, everyone headed by Straw Hat Luffy had already arrived at the second basement level called “Wild Beast Hell”.

Wild Beast Hell placed a variety of ferocious beast monsters on this layer, including chicken snakes, human face lions, poisonous Sasori, etc. However, due to Magellan’s plan to annihilate Straw Hat Crew in Starvation Hell, the usual beasts also disappeared at this moment. not see.

The scene that originally happened on the first floor is repeated on the second floor.

The prisoners in the cell begged Luffy and others to let them out.

Unfortunately, Luffy and others were indifferent.

However, when they passed a cell again, they met an acquaintance again.

“Miss. Golden Week, and the straw hat boy… why are you here!?” A familiar voice made Straw Hat Crew stop.

“You are… mr.3? Why were you caught in?” Marian widened her eyes, looking at her old partner.

“It’s you guy…” Zoro and others also recognized mr.3.

After all, the battle at Little Garden was the most dangerous one they encountered since they went to sea. This insidious candle man once created a considerable crisis for them!

“Oh, a word is hard to say…” mr.3 said bitterly.

In the original book, he was stranded on the vacation island due to “mr.2” giving up escape, and was later arrested by Naval Headquarters Colonel Hina, and then taken to Impel down.

However, now he was caught by Marine near the waters of Alabasta because he left Little Garden and returned to Alabasta to prepare to report back to the organization. As for the scene of being sucked dry by Crocodile and then eaten into the stomach by the banana crocodile in the original work, it did not appear at all.

“Can you let me out?” mr3, that is, Mr.3 looked at Marian and pleaded.

Marianne hesitated before turning her head to Luffy and others.

After all, Mr. 3 is her old partner. When they acted together, she still took care of her, so she couldn’t bear her old partner being kept in jail and waiting to die.

Naturally, Luffy and others had no objection. After all, Marianne had helped them a lot along the way. What’s more, now the other party is still a subordinate in the dark, this point of face is still to be given.Seeing that Luffy and others agreed, Marianne said, “It’s okay to let you out, but you have to follow us.”

“No problem!” Mr.3 quickly agreed.

Upon seeing this, Marianne said to Luffy and others: “Then please!”

Zoro pulled out the meteor fall, this kind of cage must be cut off by him.

The dark armed color wrapped around the blade, and Zoro slashed towards the cage.

“Keng!”

The collision between the knife and the barrier made a loud noise.

“Huh?” Zoro was taken aback.

Everyone in the straw hat was also taken aback.

“You didn’t cut it off?” Zoro said in a daze.

“It’s seastone… the cage here. Seastone accounts for almost 80% of the materials. The purity is too high.” Franky stepped forward and observed, “The hardness should be comparable to diamonds.”

The hardness of seastone is comparable to that of diamond.

As the saying goes, only diamonds can cut diamonds. This sentence also applies to seastone.

Of course, if the Armament Haki level is high enough and the power is large enough, it can be forcibly split, but at the moment, Zoro obviously has not reached that stage.

“What…what do you do? Do you want to use the key to open the door here? But, we don’t have the key either!” Marianne said helplessly.

Mr.3 looked at the lock a little desperately, and said, “Damn it…If only I hadn’t been handcuffed by the seastone handcuffs.”

As a “Wax-Wax Fruit” capable person, he is most afraid of being locked.

“That… maybe I can try.”

Suddenly, someone came up from behind and said.

“Hey…you guy, it’s the story stage of the mission now, don’t mess around!” Some players hurriedly pulled him.

“Yes, that’s right, you see that both Shenkong and Ryan are honest, what are you doing?”

This person didn’t pay attention to them, and shook his right hand at random, shaking the player who was holding him.

This scene made many players stunned for a while, so that no one dared to stand up and stop it.

Then he walked straight to the lock of the cell and took out a key that looked almost the same as the keyhole of the cell lock.

This person is naturally dark.

The reason why he stood up at this moment is naturally because mr.3 has the value of being rescued.

And although the key in his hand is not a cell key, there is no problem at all when opening this lock.

This key was awarded when the universal skill [Unlock] reached Lv3 in the dark time long ago.

【Master Key】: There is no lock that cannot be opened without it. Remaining usage times: 25.

“clatter…”

The key was inserted into the keyhole and twisted slightly, after which the cell door opened.
