Pirates: Building a Pirate Family

The shocking wounds on his body were slowly healing, and new muscle tissues were growing to replace the damaged parts.

This amazing recovery speed shocked and frightened Napoleon.

On the other hand, Napoleon was still aggressive and unstoppable at the beginning, but as time went on, the long-term fierce battle gradually made him unable to cope.

The wounds on his body continued to increase, and the wounds crisscrossed one after another. Blood kept pouring out of the wounds, staining the deck under his feet red.

His breath became weaker and weaker, and his movements were no longer as agile and powerful as before.

At this time, Roy had already gained an absolute upper hand, pinning Napoleon to the deck, punching him one after another.

Esdeath, who was watching the battle, had sharp eyes and noticed some unusual details-Roy's devil fruit ability seemed to have awakened!

Could it be that at this critical moment, Roy was about to achieve a breakthrough and gain more powerful power?

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a violent breath gushing out of Roy.

His eyes turned red, and he let out a low roar, like a real beast.

At the same time, an invisible pressure spread, making people shudder.

Obviously, Roy had completely fallen into a state of madness at this moment, and his injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.

"Roar!"

In an instant, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, which was terrifying.

Roy, who was riding on Napoleon, saw his eyes filled with rich blood red in an instant, and his originally normal round pupils suddenly stood up, like a ferocious beast.

Then, it raised its head and let out a long howl towards the sky, and the sound resounded through the clouds and echoed in the air for a long time.

At this moment, Roy's entire temperament changed drastically.

Instead, it was replaced by a fierce and violent breath like a beast.

At this moment, it exudes a heart-pounding smell of danger, as if it will pounce on its prey at any time and tear it into pieces.

Esdeath on the side frowned when she saw this.

Because from the beginning to the end, her powerful observation Haki has been firmly locked on Roy, so she can clearly sense every subtle change in Roy's body and mind.

In Esdeath's eyes, Roy at this moment has completely changed. He is no longer a human, but a real beast.

The figure standing in front of her seems to be just covered with a layer of human skin, and the inside has long been occupied by wild animal nature.

Not only Esdeath was keenly aware of this, but even Napoleon, who was forced to bear Roy's attack, also felt the huge change in the man in front of him.

For some reason, in Napoleon's feeling, Roy in front of him seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air, completely losing his trace.

What happened?

Everyone was puzzled.

Suddenly!

Esdeath's pupils suddenly shrank, and a thought flashed through her mind.

She remembered the description of the animal-type devil fruit when her father introduced it to her.

It is said that after the animal-type devil fruit awakens, there is a certain probability that the host will lose its original will and become a beast driven only by instinct.

Could it be that... Roy is in this state now?

"Roy! No! It's a saltwater crocodile!"

Esdeath widened her eyes and looked at the figure in front of her who was fighting fiercely with Napoleon in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, what her father said was true. When the animal-type devil fruit awakens, it is really possible for the animal to devour the reason and become a beast without reason.

This is the first time Esdeath has seen this situation in all the years she has traveled the sea.

The awakening of devil fruits is extremely rare, and the probability is even comparable to the awakening of the domineering color domineering.

I didn't expect that there is such a crisis when awakening the devil fruit.

Fortunately, this situation only occurs with the animal-type devil fruit.

But when I think of the animal type, many of the younger brothers in the family have animal-type devil fruits. Will they also be devoured by wild beasts like Roy in the future and lose their human rationality?

Esdeath became worried.

At this moment, the one standing there was no longer the fierce crocodile, Roy, but a huge, hideous, and irrational saltwater crocodile.

This saltwater crocodile exudes a chilling aura, its iron-hard scales flash with cold light, and its sharp claws seem to be able to tear everything apart.

What is even more shocking is that this is not an ordinary saltwater crocodile, but a terrifying existence with the ability of an animal-type devil fruit and has already awakened.

Roy is dead, and his bodyDevoured by the spirit of the saltwater crocodile, the body is now controlled by the ferocious saltwater crocodile.

Thinking of this, Esdeath tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, and dared not take his eyes off the saltwater crocodile's every move.

The saltwater crocodile opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, then swung its huge claws fiercely, grabbing Napoleon fiercely with a sharp wind sound.

Seeing this, Napoleon quickly raised his arms to block and protected it above his head.

However, the power of the saltwater crocodile was too strong. With a "rip", a piece of flesh on Napoleon's arm was instantly torn off, and blood splattered.

"Ah~!"

Napoleon screamed in pain, his arms kept shaking, and he was obviously in great pain.

He never expected that the opponent's power would suddenly become so huge that he could not resist it at all.

The saltwater crocodile rushed up with astonishing speed and force like a heavy truck out of control.

Its huge body brought up a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, it knocked the defenseless Napoleon to the ground.

The saltwater crocodile opened its bloody mouth that was big enough to swallow an adult bull, revealing its sharp and terrifying fangs, and bit Napoleon's head fiercely.

At this moment, Napoleon was filled with fear. He had never faced the threat of death so closely.

"No!"

Napoleon shouted desperately, but his voice seemed so weak.

He watched the bloody mouth getting closer and closer, as if he could already feel the deadly breath coming towards him.

However, at this moment, his arms had already become unable to lift up due to excessive fear and the pressure of his body. He could only stare helplessly with his eyes wide open, waiting for the judgment of fate.

At this critical moment, a crisp clang suddenly came.

I saw a flash of cold light, and a long sword was unsheathed like lightning.

In an instant, the air around seemed to be frozen, and the cold was biting.

Then, a touch of ice-blue light suddenly rose, like a meteor across the night sky, quickly covering the huge body of the saltwater crocodile.
