----------
At the same time.
Just as Franky was transforming, Carl opposite him also completed his transformation.
Vertical pointed ears, gray sideburns and sharp claws!
Carl, who was originally human, instantly completed the transformation and became a huge werewolf with wild and murderous eyes!
Ancient Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit Dire Wolf form!
About ten years ago, Carl relied on this rare fruit to rise from a small gangster in North Blue to a famous pirate.
Until one day, he accidentally met Vice Admiral Garp who was returning home to visit his family, and taunted him about his dog-head hat.
Then...
When he regained consciousness, he was already in the boiling pot of Impel Down, undergoing a comprehensive sterilization of his body.
According to the plot of the original timeline, Carl has now fallen into Blackbeard's cruel rules of the game and has become a stepping stone for other members of the Blackbeard Pirates to regain their freedom.
But thanks to Shiki, he managed to escape death and even became a small senior figure in the Black Lion Alliance.
"Is it the same as Robin's information, that he is a Zoan-type fruit user!?"
Seeing the werewolf Carl who had also transformed, Franky did not show much surprise on his face.
After all, after Robin arranged his opponents, she also sent them the information of their opponents.
Franky's eyes narrowed slightly.
The information Robin provided was very detailed, and it was even clearly marked above:
In his human form, Carl's strength is not that strong, about the level of a pirate of 100 or 200 million.
But with the blessing of rare ancient species abilities, his strength, speed and combat capabilities have all been greatly enhanced, allowing him to successfully join the ranks of high-level pirates.
All in all, this is a guy whose strength will plummet once he loses the ability of his fruit!
BOOM!
While Franky was thinking, Carl on the opposite side had already lost his patience.
The pitch-black Armament Haki suddenly covered her claws, and she instantly bent down and attacked Franky at a terrifying speed.
"Rip Claws Cross Strike!"
A move name devoid of beauty and artistry came out of Carl's mouth.
In a flash, she appeared in front of Franky like a shadow, and her two huge claws suddenly crossed and swung towards Franky from top to bottom!
CLANG!
A sound of metal colliding suddenly appeared, like a clearing sound wave, resounding throughout the world.
The next second...
"Hiss~ What a powerful blow!"
Under Carl's shocked gaze, Franky stretched out the arm with the gun barrel and used the gun barrel to block his claws.
The vertical, sharp and narrow claws only left a tiny white mark under the gun barrel.
It even seemed as if the mark could be erased immediately with just a light wipe.
Seeing this scene, Franky still showed a shocked expression:
"As expected of an ancient user!"
"It can actually leave such a mark on Wapol's special alloy No. 12138..."
"Even Zoro now can't cut this special metal!"
With the occasional training from Red, the levels of Wapol and Gem have already exceeded level 40.
After their levels are raised, their control over the abilities of their fruits will naturally increase.
This also allows the two of them to provide the Straw Hat Pirates with stronger and richer basic resources.
Wapol special alloy 12138, also known as vibranium!
It is a special metal that has extremely high hardness and powerful ability to absorb, store and release kinetic energy!
Because it has extremely similar properties to Vibranium in Marvel, Red suggested that this special and powerful metal be named Vibranium.
There is no need to explain how powerful this metal is.
It's a pity that the cost of this metal is extremely high, even several times higher than the metal cost of the Going Merry's hull!
After consuming nearly one billion berries worth of resources, they only got such a small piece from Franky's hand cannon.
Because it really couldn't do anything else useful, and Franky happened to be undergoing transformation and upgrading, so it was loaded onto Franky.
However, in the end, only the Straw Hat Pirates knew about this.
...
...
"How...how is this possible!?"
In the ruins, seeing that his attack was so easily resisted, Carl in werewolf form instantly showed an expression of incredible shock on his face.
But the next second, Franky suddenly moved.
Suddenly, a burst of hot steam gushed out from his other hand, and his palm suddenly thrust forward.
The liquid in the transparent container surged, as if it couldn't wait to enter the new body.
Seeing this scene, Carl's sharp animal eyes suddenly widened.
As a rare devil fruit of ancient species, the Wolf Dire Fruit gave him two abilities in total!
One is the increase in physical fitness in the beast state.
The other thing is that it makes him, who is already very vigilant, have a unique beast instinct!
This intuition, combined with his Observation Haki, directly evolved his Observation Haki into "Carl Shock", an ability second only to "Predict the Future".
Every time he was about to be injured, he would sense the danger one step ahead.
However, during his nearly ten years in prison, Carl almost forgot that he had such a passive ability.
And at the moment when Franky attacked him, his "Carl Shock" started to activate wildly!
It was as if telling him that if he didn't dodge this attack...
He will die!
"Damn it!"
Despite his inner doubts, he finally chose to trust his instinct that had saved him countless times. He pushed the ground with his agile legs and quickly distanced himself from Franky.
However, just when Carl thought he had avoided Franky's attack, his beast instinct once again brought him a strong sense of crisis.
Then, he saw Franky in the shadows showing a devilish grin, which was extremely creepy.
Before he could react, the attacking palm suddenly made a light cracking sound.
Under Carl's horrified gaze, the hand suddenly fell off Franky's arm, connected by a chain, and continued to stab towards his abdomen carrying various toxins.
"Franky Super Five Poison Palm!"
"Armament Haki Defense!"
THUD!
In an emergency, seeing that he could not avoid the attack, Carl immediately mobilized the blood in his body and attached a layer of hard Armament Haki to his abdomen that was about to be attacked.
BANG!
The loud noise was heard again.
But this time, the crisp sound of metal colliding turned into a buzzing sound like the vibration of a muffled drum.
Franky's flying palm kept trembling, and began to wrestle with Carl's body.
In the end, Carl's Armament Haki was superior and he was able to withstand Franky's attack.
"Tsk! What a pity!"
Seeing that the kinetic energy in his palm was getting smaller and smaller, Franky simply raised his arm and used the chain mechanism to retract his arm.
With a click, it returned perfectly to Franky's arm.
"What the hell!? Is this the kind of pressure a pirate with a bounty of 60 million berries can have!?"
Looking at Franky moving his wrist, Carl's brows instantly frowned, and he started cursing in his heart!
"Have those bastards in the Marines conducted any serious investigation?!"
"If you don't know how to offer a reward, then give up your position and let someone more capable do it!"
This was the first time he had expressed deep concern and resentment about staffing within the Marines.
But in the next moment, a bloody light flashed in his eyes again.
No matter what, he couldn't show weakness in front of the enemy.
"As expected, the Straw Hat Pirates are able to defeat the admirals of the Marines. They really live up to their reputation!"
Carl laughed calmly and said:
"Even the guy with the lowest bounty has such strength."
"I seem to understand why Boss Blackbeard told us to be careful of you!"
"But..." Carl suddenly looked up, his fangs bared, "You are a steel cyborg, right?!"
"With your body filled with steel, can you still burst out with such speed!?"
WHOOSH!
The moment the words fell, Carl's figure suddenly turned into a dark shadow and suddenly disappeared from Franky's sight.
The only words he blurted out at the end remained in the air:
"Shadow Step!"
Although he had never learned the Rokushiki Soru, as a strong physical warrior, Carl had already developed a set of fighting skills that suited him.
With the help of his powerful leg strength in dire wolf form, he could burst out at a speed that even a vice admiral who was proficient in the Rokushiki would have difficulty catching up with.
This is also the skill he relies on to survive on the sea.
However...
"A speed type player?!"
Although Franky felt a little disappointed that he missed the target, he never really thought that he would be able to get rid of a pirate with a bounty of nearly 500 million berries so quickly.
The next second, a bright beam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"In that case, we have no choice but to use that trick!"
"Franky Super Provocation!"
WHOOSH!
An evil aura suddenly spread out from Franky's body and spread in all directions.
In an instant!
A figure suddenly appeared above the open space.
It turned out to be Carl who was about to launch a sneak attack on Franky!
"What...what's going on!?"
The expression on Carl's face suddenly froze.
But when he turned her gaze to Franky, an inexplicable emotion suddenly swept through his mind.
Bright red suddenly filled his eyes.
"Damn bastard!"
He suddenly yelled, and then attacked Franky with his fangs and claws bared, angrily.
"Wolf Fang Bite!"
This time, Carl was like a madman. He suddenly opened his mouth, revealing his black teeth covered with Armament Haki, and bit Franky fiercely.
"What am I doing!?"
He watched as Franky stretched out the hard hand cannon again and pointed it towards his mouth.
Carl's face suddenly showed a look of surprise and doubt.
Then...
"Hmph!"
Although his brain realized that biting it would hurt, his body still bit hard out of inertia.
CRACK...CRACK!
The sound of objects breaking suddenly rang out.
Two tear marks suddenly appeared in the eyes of the great pirate Carl, soaking the gray wolf hair.
"What a simple mind!"
Franky said mockingly while looking at the broken tooth with a big grin.
Dark attribute move - Provocation!
A strange move that has no offensive ability at all but is regarded by Red as Franky's regular skill!
Just as the name suggests.
The effect of provocation is to launch a certain mental influence on the enemy's brain, causing the enemy to attack you immediately.
The duration of the effect will vary according to the strength and mental power of both users.
Although he is a strong man of the physical type, Carl's mental strength is obviously not weak.
But he woke up a moment too late.
He jumped away from Franky again, only to see a pair of white bone objects falling from his mouth.
It was the fangs that he was so proud of!
"You bastard!"
Carl, whose words began to leak, shouted angrily, and his aura suddenly surged, turning into an angry roar and charging towards Franky.
But at this moment, Franky's body suddenly flew into the air like a hydrogen balloon.
"Oh, that's right!"
"Did you say that my weakness is speed?!"
"Well... that's not wrong!"
"After all, Usopp modified the position of the jet device for me, and I still haven't adapted to it..."
"In that case, speed is indeed my biggest weakness!"
"But, it's not true for you!"
BOOM!
Like the roar of a rocket engine, a huge puff of sound suddenly came from Franky's feet.
Then, a burst of blazing flames suddenly gushed out from under his feet, making his body parallel to the ground and rushing towards Devon!
At the same time, his hair suddenly changed, forming sharp metal firing pins.
"Franky Super Sea Urchin Attack!"
BOOM!
The blazing flames rose again, continuously increasing Franky's movement speed, turning him into a flaming meteor that streaked through the void, rushing towards Devon quickly.
"This...what on earth is going on!?"
Looking at the figure that looked like a rocket hero, Carl felt so frustrated in his heart!
Why...
The pervert in front of me, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, seemed to have countless mechanisms hidden in his body, and he always gave me scares!
At this moment, Carl suddenly felt...
Even if Franky suddenly took off his private parts and threw it at him like a grenade, he wouldn't feel strange at all.
Because his threshold has been completely raised on this day.
"Don't think I'm easy to bully!"
From the arrogance at the beginning, to the caution in the middle, to the slightly crying voice now...
In just ten minutes, Carl seemed to have gone through countless torments.
And now, he had finally made his decision after losing all his teeth...
Go down swinging!
Whatever happens, happens!
