"Come on, Marcus, let me see what you've learned in the Limitless Pirates!"
Abedo said solemnly, and at the same time, the static electricity on his body instantly surged, all converging on his bear claws.
He is a bear-man, and a grizzly bear-man. The strongest part of his body is his bear claws!
"Then you have to be careful!"
As Marcus spoke, the hair all over his body began to grow wildly. In an instant, his entire body was covered by huge hair several dozen meters long.
And a large amount of static electricity began to accumulate in this huge hair. In the blink of an eye, Marcus turned into a guy like a lightning spear monster. The terrifying static electricity was like someone with the ability of the Thunder Fruit.
"Whoosh!!!"
Marcus instantly disappeared from his original spot, rushing towards Abedo at an extremely fast speed. A large amount of hair curled up into a fist shape, and the power of static electricity was condensed to the extreme by Marcus onto the hair fists, also covering them with the power of Ryuo Haki!
"Six Styles Secret Technique · Six King Gun!"
Marcus didn't intend to test anything from the beginning. He attacked mercilessly as soon as he made his move. Six hair fists attacked at the same time, unleashing his most commonly used Six Styles Secret Technique attack!
"What!!!"
The moment Marcus launched his attack, Abedo wanted to dodge, but as a bear-man, his speed was slow. Marcus, as a leopard-man, coupled with the body art he had learned over the past decade, had a much faster speed burst than Abedo, making it impossible for Abedo to dodge in time. He could only use a pair of bear paws to block Marcus's attack.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
Abedo's pair of bear paws barely blocked Marcus's two hair fists, but the other four hair fists mercilessly slammed onto Abedo's bear body.
In an instant, Abedo felt intense pain in his body. His internal organs, separated by thick fat, were in great pain at this moment. The huge force pushed Abedo back dozens of meters!
With just one move, Marcus had almost figured out Abedo's strength. It wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat Abedo. He was confident he could defeat the opponent in about a dozen moves.
But what he needed was a strong crushing victory to awe the entire Mink Tribe and make the entire Mink Tribe truly recognize him as the new king!
"Roar!!!!"
Marcus roared up to the sky. In an instant, his entire body's hair suddenly changed from yellow to silver-white, and the static electricity all over his body suddenly exploded by more than ten times. A fierce and violent aura bloomed from his body.
"Sulong form, how is that possible? Isn't that a form that can only be successfully transformed into on a full moon night?"
Abedo and many of the Mink Tribe watching this duel were very familiar with Marcus's current transformation, but it was precisely because they were familiar with it that they found it incredible. It was a scorching hot day, not even night, let alone a full moon night.
But Marcus had actually transformed into the Sulong form in front of them, which simply refreshed their Mink Tribe's understanding of their own talent!
"The Mink Tribe's Sulong talent is truly blessed!"
Looking at Marcus's transformation, even Rhea had to admit that this talent was really strong.
Even she, when fighting Marcus back then, was suppressed by Marcus after he activated his Sulong talent.
At that time, if she had stalled for time until Marcus's Sulong talent wore off, she could have easily won.
However, Rhea wasn't that kind of person, so she directly activated her Life Return enhanced state and went head-to-head with Marcus, finally narrowly winning against Marcus. Otherwise, she might not have been able to defeat Marcus head-on.
"Whoosh!!!"
Marcus didn't care about the shock of the Mink Tribe present. His whole body was like a bolt of lightning, appearing in front of Abedo with lightning speed.
"One Book Penetration!"
All the hair on Marcus's body gathered and compressed into a huge fist, carrying a large amount of static electricity and penetrating power, slamming directly at Abedo.
"Explosive Bear Fury Strike!"
Abedo subconsciously used his strongest power, slamming his two bear paws together.
"Ah!!!"
However, the moment they came into contact with Marcus's hair fist, Abedo's entire pair of bear paws seemed to suffer a violent impact and were instantly shattered.
His entire body was smashed to the ground by that fist. The front half of his body was charred black by the intense static electricity, and he was bleeding heavily internally. He lay weakly on the ground.
However, even so, Abedo felt that Marcus had held back at the crucial moment, otherwise, he wouldn't just be lying weakly on the ground, but would have likely been severely injured and unconscious, or even died!
"Abedo, I should have won this duel, right!"
Marcus didn't continue attacking, but just stood there quietly. The dozens of meters of silver-white long hair fluttering around him made it impossible for others to see his figure. All they could see was the long hair that was revealed!
"Marcus, is this also something you learned in the Limitless Pirates? You can actually freely control our Mink Tribe's Sulong talent!"
Abedo struggled to stand up, his gaze fixed on Marcus in front of him. Even now, Abedo couldn't believe that Marcus could freely control their Mink Tribe's Sulong talent.
This ability was simply the power he had always dreamed of, and it was also the power that the entire Mink Tribe wanted to obtain!
"Of course, our Mink Tribe's Sulong talent is hidden deep within our bloodline and can only be awakened by the stimulation of the full moon. However, as long as you improve your own control, plus a little external stimulation, after many attempts, you can gradually master this talent power!"
Marcus said proudly.
Then he directly deactivated his Sulong talent, and after a few seconds, he activated the Sulong talent again. This made everyone around him believe Marcus's words, that he could indeed freely control the Sulong talent!
It can be said that as long as this skill is mastered, every Mink Tribe member can instantly increase their strength!
"Marcus, I have lost. From now on, you are the king of the Mink Tribe. I hope you can lead our Mink Tribe to become strong, just as you said before!"
Seeing this, Abedo directly admitted his defeat and gave the throne to Marcus.
He is a person who loves his race, and naturally hopes that his race can become prosperous. Marcus is undoubtedly stronger than him, and has more courage. Perhaps Marcus can truly lead the Mink Tribe to become strong!
"Everyone, I, as the previous king of the Mink Tribe, announce that from today onwards, Marcus is the king of our Mink Tribe. All Mink Tribe members must obey Marcus's orders!"
"I believe that under Marcus's leadership, our Mink Tribe will become strong, all our newborn babies will survive, and our compatriots will have our second home on the Sea!!"
Abedo announced loudly to all the Mink Tribe members.
"King!!"
"King Marcus!"
"New King!!"
"..."
With Abedo's support, many Mink Tribe members were very accepting of Marcus. After all, their Mink Tribe also respects the strong, and Marcus publicly defeated Abedo, and Abedo also agreed to Marcus becoming the new king, so the other Mink Tribe members naturally would not object, but instead strongly supported Marcus!
"Fellow compatriots, here I, Marcus, swear that I will definitely bring new life, prosperity, and flourishing to the Mink Tribe!"
Marcus happily accepted the position of king of the Mink Tribe.
After taking over the position of king of the Mink Tribe, Marcus began to recruit a group of tribesmen who were willing to follow him to the Limitless Pirates to go to the Limitless Pirates.
Of course, the first batch was only forty people, but Marcus believed that after this batch of tribesmen went to the Limitless Pirates and returned, more tribesmen would be willing to go to the Limitless Pirates with him, just like the Fishman back then.
"Abedo, you also know that I am an Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates and cannot stay in Zou often, so I want you to be our Mink Tribe's second king!"
"You manage the tribesmen of our Mink Tribe's ancestral land, Zou, and I manage the tribesmen who live on the Sea. We will work together to lead the Mink Tribe to the peak!!"
Marcus said sincerely.
Although he had subdued the Mink Tribe, he himself would not permanently reside in Zou. Therefore, the most suitable person to manage the Zou Mink Tribe was undoubtedly Abedo.
As for Abedo seizing power, he was not at all worried. Just as the Captain told him, strength is the most powerful authority in this World. As long as your strength is strong enough, no one will dare to betray you.
Just like the current Limitless Pirates, Nox hardly manages anything, but the entire Limitless Pirates know that the true owner of the Limitless Pirates is Nox, and no one dares to betray Nox!
"Marcus, don't worry, I will manage the tribesmen of Zou well. I also hope to see the growth of the Mink Tribe before I die!"
Abedo naturally would not refuse Marcus's request.
"You will see that day. You will see it within ten years!"
"Next time I come back, I will bring back medicine and doctors that will allow all our Mink Tribe babies to survive!"
Marcus said.
After sorting out the affairs of the Mink Tribe, Marcus left Zou with the tribesmen who were willing to go to the Limitless Pirates with him.
Limitless Pirates:
"Marcus, you did well!"
Nox said with satisfaction when he saw Marcus bring back forty Mink Tribe members.
Every Mink Tribe member can be said to have great potential, or rather, their lower limit is much higher than that of ordinary people, just like the Giant Race. Even if the Giant Race is weak, they are very strong in the eyes of ordinary people!
"Captain, I hope to get the help of Mrs. Lesley."
Marcus also took the opportunity to raise the difficulties of the Mink Tribe.
"No problem, I'll talk to Lesley then and ask her to help the Mink Tribe solve this problem."
Nox naturally wouldn't refuse such a request. After the Mink Tribe's fertility rate increases, it will not only benefit the Mink Tribe, but also the Limitless Pirates.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Hearing Nox agree, Marcus said excitedly. This was the most crucial matter for the entire Mink Tribe!
Flying Pirates:
"Captain, I have some leads regarding the World Government's secret weapon that you asked me to investigate, but it's not certain whether this is true!"
Reinhardt said seriously.
"Gahahahaha, Reinhardt, just say it. I naturally believe you!"
Golden Lion said.
Two years ago, ever since he witnessed the Uranus cannon fire, Golden Lion had asked Reinhardt to investigate this matter. For this purpose, he had also invested a lot of money in the intelligence system, all to investigate clues about Uranus.
"Captain, based on the situation at the time, the Uranus's attack fell directly from the sky, which means that Uranus has the ability to fly."
"And based on two years of extensive investigation and scattered words from ancient documents, I speculate that Uranus may have always existed in the sky, and it's not just at an altitude of ten thousand meters, but higher in the sky, so much so that no matter how we search on the Sea, we can't find any clues!"
"Based on the conclusions I drew from investigating World Government internal officials before, I found that the World Government has the ability to locate den den mushi signals."
"From this, I boldly speculate that this positioning ability can also be used on Uranus, meaning that as long as a signal similar to a den den mushi is located, Uranus's attack can accurately fall on the located spot."
"This, perhaps, is the reason why the World Government has been able to rule the World for eight hundred years!"
Reinhardt analyzed. This was also something he had discovered through some clues he had "accidentally" collected.
"How credible are the things you said?"
Golden Lion said solemnly after listening. If this were true, it would be troublesome. A Uranus hanging above everyone's heads was a ticking time bomb. The existence of Uranus threatened everyone's life and death, even Golden Lion's.
Perhaps Golden Lion himself was confident that he could dodge, but what about when someone came to intercept Golden Lion? At that time, he himself was not confident he could dodge, let alone his subordinate Flying Pirates!
"Captain, these are all things I've figured out through searching for clues and making inferences, but we all saw that scene two years ago. We couldn't see Uranus even when flying thousands of meters high, which proves that Uranus is at a very high altitude!"
Reinhardt said.
"What are your thoughts?"
Golden Lion asked.
"Currently, I will continue to investigate the intelligence of World Government internal officials, and it would be best to see if I can capture a few Celestial Dragons to question."
"Captain, we can fly up into the sky to search when we have nothing to do."
Reinhardt said.
"Gahahahaha, I, you, and Harold William, plus some other guys with flying abilities, can indeed go up into the sky to search when we have nothing to do."
Golden Lion also understood Reinhardt's meaning. The people who knew the most about Uranus were undoubtedly the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. This was one aspect.
On the other hand, it would be best to find Uranus directly, which required luck.
