Chapter 5 Nami and the Arlong Pirates
Tang Fei looked at the sacrificial gems scattered on the ship and felt troubled. Where should he put so many sacrificial gems?
Book Spirit: Master, I have ten cubic meters of space inside my body, which can be used to store things.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Tang Fei said with delight, and quickly asked, "How do we do it?"
Book Spirit: Master, just silently say "store" to retrieve it, and say "retrieve" to take it out.
Tang Fei quickly muttered "store," and all the gold, silver, and sacrificial gems on the ground were sucked into the black vortex that appeared out of nowhere.
"Demon Flame Lion, let's go help my wife." Tang Fei patted the Demon Flame Lion's head and ran towards the village, his expression anxious.
You have to understand that fishmen's physical condition is far superior to that of ordinary people, so using them as sacrifices will definitely have a different effect!
"Besides replacing the consumption of magic power and mental energy, what else can the Sacrifice Gem do?" Tang Fei always felt that the Sacrifice Gem had more than just these two uses.
Book Spirit: Besides these two aspects, it can also improve cultivation speed, as long as you wear it while sleeping.
"Is it okay to wear it? How many each time?" Tang Fei asked hurriedly, and then saw the Book Spirit reply: Just touch the body, and use one each time you cultivate.
Tang Fei was immediately excited when he saw that it could be used for cultivation, because the terrifying thing about a summoner is that they can summon powerful summoned beasts.
To summon enough summoned beasts, there is a prerequisite: you yourself must be strong.
Otherwise, it would be like the Thunder Eagle summoned by the Sacrifice Gem, which grows stronger over time, but once that time is up, it becomes fatal.
Using sacrificial gems is ultimately a last resort.
Knowing that sacrificing gems could enhance his strength, Tang Fei smiled broadly and led the Demon Flame Sky Lion towards the village.
Not far out at sea, a warship was speeding along when an elderly man in a navy coat suddenly took to the air. He seemed to be walking on air, flying towards the village at incredible speed.
"Where have you been? If you run around again, I'll kill your sister and send her to the afterlife too." Arlong grinned as he looked at Nami, who had suddenly become more mature. If it weren't for Nami's navigator talent, he would have wiped out this village long ago.
"Die!" Nami didn't say much. She clenched her fists, and two spears of lightning instantly appeared in her hands. With a gentle throw, they transformed into two bolts of lightning and flew towards Arlong.
Ah Long, who possessed innate and keen intuition and was willing to trust it, suddenly squatted down. The instant he squatted down, two bolts of lightning pierced through the chest of the crew member behind him, and blood gushed out from the two bloody holes in his chest.
"Kill her!" Arlong shouted angrily, pointing at Nami. Hearing Arlong's command, the fishmen standing beside him immediately attacked.
The six-armed fishman, wielding a knife in each hand, slashed fiercely at Nami. Just when he thought he could hit her, lightning suddenly appeared, blasting him away.
Hachi was knocked to the ground, his entire body numb and in pain, unable to muster any strength, and struggled for a long time but couldn't get up. Hachi, the swordsman expert of the Arlong Pirates, lay motionless on the ground, unable to get up.
Kissing Fishman Chuchu suddenly jumped into the water and then popped his head up again, ready to unleash his water cannon. He was confident that no human could withstand his water cannon.
Just as Chuchu was about to spray water, Nami's entire body crackled with lightning. As she flapped her wings and took flight, the wildly swaying lightning bolts, like stimulant pythons, raged everywhere, with many of them disappearing into the pool.
The chirping chirp in the pool was foaming at the mouth and rolling its eyes.
"Damn it, you monster!" Croobi charged at Nami in a fit of rage. A drop of water appeared in his right palm as he unleashed a powerful punch, roaring, "Thousand Tile Punch!"
Just then, Arlong flew towards Nami like a cannonball, his serrated nose being the most powerful weapon of this "cannonball".
Nami remained calm and composed despite the attacks from Croobi and Arlong. Having experienced the power firsthand, she knew all too well just how formidable her own strength was!
Nami raised her hands to her chest and shouted, "Descent of the Demonic Lightning!" As soon as she finished speaking, a pillar of lightning shot out from her palms.
Just as Arlong was about to stab Nami with his serrated nose, he was struck by lightning while still in mid-air, his body charred black and collapsing to the ground, convulsing.
The water droplet that the thousand-watt punch had thrown had vanished without a trace. Croobby, standing not far from Arlong, was also struck head-on by the lightning, his eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.
Just then, Tang Fei rushed over from afar with the Demon Flame Sky Lion, and in less than five minutes, Nami wiped out the Arlong Pirates.
Although Nami wiped out the Arlong Pirates quite quickly, Tang Fei was not surprised at all. After looking around and seeing that there was no large-scale destruction, he knew that Nami had held back, otherwise the village would have been completely wiped out.
"Sacrifice." Tang Fei clasped his hands together and silently chanted, and several black magic circles instantly appeared on their bodies. These merfolk actually managed to condense two sacrifice gems!
It seems that the physique of a master merman is indeed unmatched by humans; the sacrificial gems are concentrated portions of the flesh and soul of the offerings. The stronger the soul and flesh, the more sacrificial gems can be condensed.
"Book Spirit, don't the sacrificial gems have quality? Are they all the same quality?" Tang Fei asked inwardly, looking at the two black, pigeon-egg-sized sacrificial gems in his right hand.
Book Spirit: Master, the sacrificial gems will naturally not only have one quality, but the high-quality ones cannot be used by the master and may even cause the master to become dependent on them, which is not good for the master.
"Oh, I understand," Tang Fei nodded silently.
Just then, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a navy coat, descended from the sky. He surveyed the surroundings with an imposing expression, and apart from the somewhat messy buildings around him, he did not see a single fishman.
"You're too late, they've all been killed." Tang Fei smiled indifferently at Garp, tossing the two sacrificial gems in his hand directly to the Demon Flame Lion, saying, "You should be able to eat them."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Flame Lion's dark eyes lit up instantly. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the two sacrificial gems whole. It chewed the two sacrificial gems with relish before swallowing them.
Just as it swallowed, the Demon Flame Lion's body suddenly swelled up. Its originally round and clumsy body now showed some muscles, giving it a powerful presence.
"Oh, what did you feed him just now?" Garp asked curiously, looking at the Flame Lion, which had been the size of an ordinary house dog, suddenly growing two sizes larger.
"Oh, it's a product of my abilities," Tang Fei said with a chuckle, without going into detail, nor was he able to.
"Did this puppy also eat a Devil Fruit?" Garp squatted down and stroked the Flame Lion. Its soft, smooth mane felt like touching silk, very comfortable.
The Demon Flame Lion glared at Garp, and the next second after Garp touched it, it turned its head and bit Garp's hand hard.
The instant the Flame Lion bit him, Garp's bitten hand turned charcoal color, and made a crunching metallic scraping sound as the Flame Lion gnawed at it.
"Ugh—" The Demon Flame Lion bit several times, but found that it couldn't bite through the old man's hand. So it let go, leaped twice, and its whole body was engulfed in scorching flames, ready to set the old man on fire.
"Alright, Demon Flame Lion, shut up." Tang Fei directly stopped Demon Flame Lion's actions, not for any other reason than that provoking the Navy was not the best choice right now.
Because Nami hadn't fully mastered this state, she possessed destructive power, but she couldn't control it perfectly, and she hadn't even unleashed one-tenth of its power.
As for him, his current strength is too weak to summon multiple beasts. His self-defense ability is also poor. If he could learn Armament Haki and Observation Haki, it would be an excellent choice for him.
"No, this is my ability." Tang Fei bent down slightly, stroked the soft mane of the now-docile Demon Flame Sky Lion, and said with a smile.
"You want to join the Navy?" Garp looked at Tang Fei intently and asked seriously.
"I want to become stronger. I don't want to hide behind my wife. I want to protect her." Tang Fei stood up straight, his playful smile gone, and said to Garp with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Nami, who was standing not far away, blushed slightly on her pretty face. She remained silent and stared at him quietly.
"Hahaha, good, that's a real man. Okay, I'll take you to Marineford. There's a training course there where elite naval personnel gather. Isn't your wife coming along?" Garp looked at Tang Fei seriously, then at Nami, and asked again.
He was unwilling to let this Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user get away.
"Are you going?" Tang Fei didn't make the decision himself, but asked Nami, respecting her choice.
"Wherever my husband goes, I will go." Nami didn't say much. Despite her young age, she has seen through many things.
Joining the elite navy's training camp is entirely beneficial for Nami, as it allows her to quickly master the use of spirit enchantment, since real combat is what truly matters.
As far as he knew, participating in the elite navy training camp involved numerous sea voyages to suppress pirates.
After all, the purpose of this training camp is to make the elites stronger, so that they can protect themselves and eliminate pirates, thus stopping their rampage.
"Alright then." Tang Fei nodded and said to Karp, "I want to be in the same training camp as my wife and go on missions together."
When Garp heard that Tang Fei and Nami had agreed to join the Navy, he burst into laughter and said happily, "No problem."
"Let's go now," Garp said bluntly, without any hesitation.
"Vice Admiral Garp, please wait a moment. Could you please contact the Navy stationed in the East Blue and ask them to take care of the villagers here, so that they are no longer attacked by pirates?" Tang Fei said to Garp with a serious expression.
"Okay, I'll talk to Sengoku. It is indeed a problem. Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Garp promised Tang Fei seriously, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Sending some colonel-level officers to the East Blue will suffice; in return, we can acquire two promising talents—it's a steal! One of them is even a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user! Their combat strength is practically at the Admiral level!
"Let's go..."
