...
Shouts vibrated in the depths of Luffy's consciousness until a sudden change occurred. m.
With a bang, a transparent but golden flame suddenly appeared in the depths of Luffy's consciousness.
At the same time, Luffy's heart suddenly beat violently.
The powerful sound is like the sound of drums...
At the moment when the sound of the drum appeared, the elephant master, who was still enduring the pain and struggling to move forward, suddenly stopped.
【This voice...】
[I haven't heard it for eight hundred years, but I can't get it wrong. 】
【This is the drumbeat of liberation...】
【is it you? Joey Poe...]
At the same time, Luffy suddenly heard a strange but familiar voice.
"Even if you can keep fighting, you can't beat that guy."
The voice carried a hint of lightness, as if it was right next to Luffy's ear.
"Then I want to fight too!"
Luffy
Because it was too big, he didn't even consider who the owner of the voice was, but subconsciously refuted it.
After a while of silence, the voice continued to sound:
"Why do you fight? You obviously have a chance to escape from the beginning, why do you have to defeat an enemy you can't resist?"
"Even if you don't defeat that guy, there are other ways to achieve your goals and protect your partners."
The tone of the voice became urgent.
"You are so long-winded!" Luffy said impatiently, "Why should I run away! That guy is the enemy I must defeat!"
"But you will die!"
The voice suddenly became angry for some reason, and shouted at Luffy:
"What you carry on your body is not only your own life, but also the expectations of others."
"If you die, those who believe in you will also be killed by your enemies, and then fall into the deep sea, unable to live in the sun for hundreds of years."
"Aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner?!"
If someone else heard these words, it would be easy to pick up other meanings from them.
These words are not so much an accusation of Luffy, but more like a sad story.
Because I have experienced it, I understand it.
But who is Luffy? When he heard someone yelling at him, he yelled back with a louder voice without saying a word:
"It's annoying, you bastard!!"
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have chosen to fight from the beginning!"
"Being burdened with other people's expectations, do you have to tie your hands?"
"If you choose to escape for their sake, why should you shoulder their expectations!!"
"Becoming a sinner? I'm not afraid!"
"Even if I am destined to become a sinner, I will fight until the last moment!!"
...
Maybe it was because Luffy's voice was too loud, and the voice was overwhelmed, and he was silent for a long time.
At this time, Luffy's heartbeat became more and more intense, and the flame in the depths of his consciousness became more and more vigorous.
Although he didn't know what happened, Luffy had a feeling that he could wake up with this thing.
And just as he was working hard, the voice reappeared, but it wasn't talking to Luffy, it was more like a whisper.
"Become a sinner, but also fight to the last moment..."
"Is that why you did it in the first place?"
"Joey Poe..."
Chapter 514 Luffy's brain is extraordinarily lively today
At the moment when the phantom appeared, Luffy discovered that the flow of time in the depths of his consciousness was quite abnormal.
The two have communicated for so long, and in the outside world, Kaido and his partner have only just handed in each other.
However, after experiencing the magic of the rainbow fog world, Luffy was not too surprised.
"Huh? What are you guys talking about? The name Joey Boy is so familiar."
Luffy, who has always been a big guy, has just finished arguing with someone, and he will start talking as if nothing happened.
And he had indeed heard the name Joy Boye.
When everyone left Fishman Island, Robin told everyone about Joey Boy's confession.
It's just that Luffy didn't listen carefully at all at the time, so it was just a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was. Qianqian
"nothing."
The voice paused, and replied:
"Although I still don't agree with your answer, I probably know what kind of person you are."
"So, let you help me."
The voice said: "If you want to continue fighting, let my power help you."
When the voice fell, something miraculous happened.
The phantom looks very small, like an elf.
"Wow ah ah!"
Luffy shouted in surprise: "Who are you, why did you appear in my mind!!"
Until then, Luffy shouted belatedly.
Xu Ying was obviously stunned for a moment, and then began to complain with ease.
"I have communicated with you with consciousness for so long, did you discover this problem?!"
"Oh, that's right." Luffy quickly accepted this fact, nothing else but a big heart.
But it also made Xuying startled again.
But because he was familiar with Lu Fei's wild ways, he didn't complain again, but continued:
"It is said that I am lending you my strength, but in fact this is your strength."
"From the moment you eat me, you have the power."
"It's just that I need my approval."
"That's what's often called [Fruit Awakening]."
...
Now, it was Luffy's turn to be silent.
After a long time, Xu Ying asked a little uneasy:
"are you.
.. Didn't understand what I said at all? "
To this, Luffy responded:
"Hey, what about your strength and my strength, recognition or something, I really don't understand."
"But there's one thing I understand."
"After [Fruit Awakening], I will become stronger, right?"
Xu Ying nodded: "That's right, in fact, you haven't exerted the full power of the Devil Fruit all this time. This fruit has never been as simple as you imagined."
"Actually, when you ignited your heart fire in Marin Fando, I was already awake, but I didn't want to show up so soon."
"Because I want to see if you are eligible for my power."
"after that..."
Just when Xu Ying was talking, Lu Fei became impatient.
"You are more verbose than Bai Ye."
Phantom:?
"I don't care what you think. You have lived in my body for so long, but you have been hiding your strength. You are a cheapskate."
Phantom:? ?
"However, since you appear in front of me, don't even think about running away."
Luffy smiled and said, "Give me your power!"
Having said that, Luffy paused for a moment and then spoke again:
"Let me bear your expectations as well!"
Phantom: ...
At this moment, the phantom who had survived for an unknown amount of time also couldn't understand Luffy.
For hundreds of years, it has encountered countless hosts, but it has never seen such a...
Weird guy.
The mind is so simple and pure, even a little stupid, but—
But it's so contagious, it's impossible to resist.
After a long time, Xuying spoke:
"The ruler of the sea has tried everything to get me for hundreds of years, but he has never succeeded."
"They are afraid of my power, so afraid that they don't even want my name to be passed down to the world."
"Superman-Gum Fruit, they use such a name in an attempt to conceal my true identity."
"However, Monkey D. Luffy, you who have been approved by me are entitled to know my name."
"Read it out, after saying this name, you will get my power."
At this time, the depths of Luffy's consciousness began to undergo drastic changes.
The burning heart fire inexplicably skyrocketed.
Then, a white light suddenly appeared in the originally dark space
.
The white glow slowly expanded, and gradually began to occupy the depths of Luffy's consciousness.
At the same time, Luffy's still unconscious external body is also undergoing changes at this time.
His hair began to turn gray at an alarming rate.
The phantom's voice became louder and louder, and it was obvious that it was the last moment.
"Listen, my name—"
[Joy Boy, is that you? 】
[I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, why did you show up? 】
【Where have you been all these years? 】
