Chapter 43 Dual-wielding machine guns x Exploration of memories
Kuroro sensed Uvogin's excitement and exhilaration through the compass.
He immediately realized that they had probably encountered the Golden Lion, so he gave orders to Pike and the others.
Parker sensed the information transmitted by the compass on his wrist, and his eyes narrowed.
"It's time for us to get to work! Let's get started!"
Parker and his group of four cut in from the other side of the island and headed toward the castle in the center.
They passed through a rainforest area that resembled a backyard garden, teeming with bizarre creatures.
Without lingering in battle, the group effortlessly dispatched all the rare beasts and sped towards the castle.
Little did they know, Indy, sitting in front of the monitor, was watching all of this.
Indiana's eyes showed some surprise:
"There are even fleas here!"
"They lured the adults away and then launched a surprise attack here; these people are probably in cahoots."
"What is their purpose?" Indigo pondered for a moment, then quickly analyzed:
"This group is clearly not from the navy; they're probably after the nautical charts and treasure."
"Hehehe—you've got some nerve, trying to rob us."
"Scaledo, let's go meet them!" Indigo said with a sly grin.
Behind him, the giant gorilla Scaredo, dressed in a suit, pounded his chest and roared excitedly:
"Roar—"
........
"Something's coming..." Parker said gravely, stopping the others.
Accompanied by the deafening noise of trees collapsing in swathes and the roars of hordes of unknown creatures,
A gap was smashed open in the dense forest ahead, dust billowed up, and hundreds of enormous monsters charged toward Pike and his companions.
"Prepare for battle—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Franklin's broad frame blocked the crowd, his hands facing forward, his ten fingers severed like a robot's to reveal the black muzzle of a gun, aimed at the pack of ferocious beasts ahead.
Flames burst forth.
"Da da da da da da—"
A barrage of bullets rained down on the front.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the explosions and flames mercilessly devoured the rare beasts, halting their advance.
[Dual-wielding machine guns (ejection type)]
[It involves transforming both hands into gun barrels, firing block-shaped psychic bullets from the ten fingers to attack enemies.]
This is Franklin's Nen ability, using terrifying firepower to absolutely suppress the enemy.
The power of the bullets far exceeded that of ordinary bullets, so the herd of beasts in front of them could not advance an inch under this firepower.
"Wow, wow~ Not bad at all~" The flames died down.
A strangely-looking researcher emerged from behind the remains of a rare animal, followed by a gorilla dressed in a suit.
It was Indicus and Scaledo.
Scaredo's ability to control those rare beasts is why he can launch continuous attacks on the group.
Behind the two men was a row of muscular men wearing gas masks, clearly human soldiers who had also been "IQ-modified".
Indiana glanced at Franklin's hands. "A cyborg... you're doing the wrong thing with your modifications~"
He counted on his fingers, "1, 2, 3, 4, exactly four people. How about it, do you want to become my cyborg subordinates? I'll spare your lives, ho ho ho ho ho—"
The four men, including Pike, simply watched him silently.
"........."
"No way... Fine then, once I beat you into submission, you'll be begging me to join—"
"Scaledo, tear them apart—"
"Roar—" The gorilla behind Indigo roared, then leaped up violently and slammed down towards the group—
"Puppet Phone - Automatic Operation Mode -"
The swordsman inserted the phone antenna into his body, and the next second...
"Buzz—"
The swordsman's internal energy suddenly surged, his entire body turned golden, shimmering with golden light, and his hair stood on end, as if he had transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Immediately afterwards, Super Saiyan Raptor charged head-on at Scaredo, who was falling straight down.
"boom--"
A terrifying punch shot into the sky, striking Scaledo directly in the abdomen, sending its entire body hurtling into the air.
Scaredo saw stars, foamed at the mouth, and flew a long way like a meteor before crashing to the ground, his fate unknown...
"Gah—" Indigo's wicked laughter stopped abruptly. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him.
Scaledo, the strongest of the mutated rare beasts, was defeated by the enemy before him in a single blow?!
The knight walked step by step toward Indigo.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
"Don't come any closer!"
The swordsman, however, seemed not to hear him and unconsciously approached him step by step.
【Puppet Phone - Automatic Operation Mode】
[The user inserts the antenna into their body, activating automatic mode. Their Nen ability is enhanced by the antenna, temporarily transforming them into an Enhancement-type Devil Fruit user until they kill the enemy in front of them. During this time, the user will be unconscious.]
"Damn it, don't underestimate junior staff!"
"Chemical juggling ball!"
Dark green burning spheres appeared between Indigo's hands and shot towards the knight in the next second!
"Beep beep beep beep—"
The sphere exploded in front of the knight.
"Horo horo horo—"
Indigo let out a wild laugh.
"Succumb to the power of researchers—"
However, when the flames died down, the figure of the swordsman was revealed... completely unharmed.
"Impossible!!" The Indian's eyes were filled with horror.
"Hehe." Parker covered his mouth and laughed.
"In this state, the swordsman's defense is no less than Uvogin's—how could your juggling contraption possibly injure him?"
Amidst Parker's taunts, the knight leaped forward and punched Indigo in the face.
Indigo's body tumbled several times in mid-air before finally landing next to Scaledo, unconscious.
After a while,
"Slap—slap—slap..."
After a series of slaps from Franklin, Indy slowly woke up.
His cheeks were swollen, and tears and snot streamed down his face. "What...what exactly do you want to do—"
"Tell us where your nautical chart and treasure are hidden," Pike asked, squinting.
"I'd rather die than tell! I will never betray Lord Golden Lion! No... otherwise he'll kill me—"
Indigo looked terrified.
A knowing smile played on Parker's lips as he placed his hand on Indigo's shoulder, looking at him with an ambiguous expression.
"No...you already said it, from the moment I asked you."
The Exploration of Memory (Trait-Based)
[Through verbal prompting, guide the other person to recall what you need, then use touch to retrieve the desired memory.]
This is one of Pike's Nen abilities, an irreplaceable ace in intelligence gathering, used within the Phantom Troupe for investigation and questioning.
"Let's go..." Pike led everyone toward the castle.
"What will they do?" Little Drop asked, pointing at Indigo and the other man with a puzzled look.
"Kill them!"
"oh."
The bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner fell heavily—
