Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

Page 167

"Oh, by the way, does Your Excellency perhaps believe that we, a lowly person, possess any treasure?"

Seeing that Loya remained unmoved and aloof, Blackbeard Teach stomped his foot and clapped his hands as if he had just realized something.

"But I think you might be disappointed. Look at me, my clothes... they're visibly shabby!"

Teach, drawing on his acting skills from his time on Whitebeard's ship, plays a comical clown, gesticulating wildly to display his poverty and destitution.

However, here, Teach is simply using the technique of "building up a climax by first criticizing".

In Teach's view, money is a powerful motivator, and as mortal beings living in the secular world, we cannot escape the word "desire."

Treasure can solve 99 percent of the problems in this world.

If the problem can't be solved, it must be because there isn't enough treasure!

Even for the most absolute people, wealth is always a case of the more the better.

Moreover, what about this young man in front of us?

Teach was certain that he had never met Loya, so there should be no irreconcilable hatred between two strangers.

Although he didn't know Loya's reason for attacking, since Loya didn't immediately kill him, Teach felt that there should still be room for maneuver.

Teach believes the key to turning the tide lies in treasure.

However, it would seem somewhat suspicious to easily lure someone with treasure.

Moreover, the group's appearance did indeed give people a poor and shabby impression.

To make it seem more convincing, one must pretend that one is forced to hand over the treasure.

So Teach did his best to show off his poverty and ridiculousness, waiting for the moment when Loya thought, "He's a worthless piece of trash, just kill him," before begging for mercy and revealing the information about the treasure bit by bit.

"Hey, don't move around!"

Loya peered into the secrets of Teach's body with ten times the Observation Haki, gently sliding the blade of his sword against the hard floor.

Tichy felt this was a perfect opportunity, so he quickly pretended to be terrified and panicked, pushing his hands apart and shouting:

"I know, I know... There's nothing I can do, I have to give up!"

"We do know a little about treasure, but we can't carry it with us."

"As long as you don't harm us, we can take you to the treasure site!"

Teach felt that after saying these words, the other party would at least show some expression.

But Loya remained completely oblivious with his cold, indifferent expression.

"Eh?"

Teach paused, "Wait, wait a minute, do you really think that my gang has absolutely no treasures?"

····Requesting flowers············

"Don't let our poor appearance fool you, this is called keeping your wealth hidden!"

Don't judge a book by its cover!

Even though there was absolutely no treasure in the house, Teach managed to make it sound like he was truly low-key and didn't flaunt his wealth.

"Don't look down on me!"

"I'll take you to our treasure trove right now, so you can prove yourself, you bastard!"

0 ...............

Seeing Loya's consistently calm and aloof demeanor, Teach took the opportunity to feign being insulted and angrily walked towards one of his unconscious companions.

He was incredibly cunning, and wanted to take advantage of this feigned momentum to leave with his unconscious companions.

Swish! !

A sword aura slashed through.

In an instant, he knocked Teach to the ground.

"Wow, that sneak attack was so despicable!"

Teach pretended to be stupid and rolled on the ground, yelling in pain.

He knew that this probing move had failed again.

However, he was a master of feigning ignorance. As long as Loya did not reveal his true killing intent, he would continue to play dumb, portraying himself as an insignificant passerby, someone who could be dismissed like a fart, in an attempt to get away with it.

Chapter 155 Uncovering the Secret of Blackbeard's Alien Form: A Qualitative Leap

"It seems that mastering Observation Haki alone is not enough to uncover all secrets."

"It also requires biological dissection."

Loya thought to himself.

"But the results of the autopsy can be divided into two categories, usually involving autopsies of dead bodies."

"And the best way to observe the secrets of Blackbeard's [Alien] physique is... live dissection!"

With this in mind, Loya smiled and walked towards Blackbeard in a seemingly amicable manner.

Shortly after "087", Loya beat Blackbeard Teach unconscious.

Then he was given a live dissection with a sword.

Blackbeard Teach was jolted awake several times by the excruciating pain, struggling frantically.

However, they were all suppressed by Loya's terrifying strength.

And so, half an hour later.

Through dissection and observation, Loya completely uncovered the secret of Blackbeard's monstrous form.

"Reply - Permanent Optimization - Modify Physical Body!"

Loya placed both hands on his chest and abdomen.

Launch ability!

And it allows for a one-time overdraft of the ability to permanently modify the physical body for the next few months.

All for this one permanent modification of the physical body.

This physical modification was extremely demanding and difficult.

Extremely terrifying!

Fortunately, Loya's healing fruit ability had already awakened.

This ability to modify the physical body is unparalleled.

Therefore, this permanent modification of the physical body is extremely difficult and complicated.

However, the process was uneventful and went very smoothly.

In the end, nearly half an hour passed.

This permanent modification to the physical body is now completely complete!

"Phew... Thanks to this modification, my pure physical strength is even more formidable than before!"

"Although the three types of Haki will not become stronger as a result."

"But my physical strength has indeed been improved by leaps and bounds once again!"

"However, the leap in pure physical strength is merely the most insignificant gain from this physical modification!"

"By observing and understanding the secrets of Blackbeard's physical transformation."

"And I will make similar modifications to my own physical body."

"The final result is that I can eat three Devil Fruits at the same time!"

"That's right!"

"You can't eat two!"

"It's three Devil Fruits!!"

A smile appeared on Loya's lips.

One Rejuvenation Fruit has already given him the power of a top-tier Yonko.

If he were to acquire two more powerful Devil Fruits, he simply couldn't imagine how powerful he would become...

Seven twenty-nine

However, there's not much to say about this, since the Five Elders and Im each have their own secrets, or even some kind of immortality mechanism.

To overthrow the Five Elders and Im's rule over the world, something outrageous is simply impossible.

Nika, isn't it also known as the only Devil Fruit to be named "God"?

"Alright, Blackbeard, I don't think I need to really kill you!"
