Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 17 Knowledge Color and Armed Color

Following Aqua's frightened gaze, she saw that Luffy's right shoulder and entire arm had been stretched and fell to the floor of the restaurant.

Coupled with Luffy's confused look, the scene looked really scary.

Lin Zhi was only slightly surprised, and his expression soon returned to calm.

The Sun God Nika Fruit is an ordinary rubber fruit before it is awakened. It is natural that Luffy, who has just gained this ability, will not adapt to it.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I just ate Shanks and his friends' Devil Fruits and turned them into rubber men with a rubber physique."

After the shock in the tavern, Luffy has now accepted this extremely wonderful fact.

His brows furrowed slightly. After several attempts, he retracted the arm that had fallen to the ground with a click and returned to its normal state.

"Evil, Devil Fruit? Is there really such a thing that can give people terrible power by eating it?!"

After listening to Luffy's explanation, the panic on Aqua's face not only did not diminish, but intensified.

Lin Zhi had taught her the basic common sense of the pirate world in the past few days, and she knew that those magma people and frozen people were all Devil Fruit abilities.

Due to the "cowardly" performance of the red-haired pirates just now, she thought that the fruit's ability was just an exaggeration, but she didn't expect it to be true!

In other words, it is indeed possible for pirates to appear on the sea who can control the wind and rain and cause tsunamis and earthquakes!
"Super strange ability, and I am completely disgusted by the sea. I lose my power when I touch the sea water. I am a landlubber."

Thinking of this, Luffy sighed deeply.

But soon, the childish smile regained its brilliant vitality: "But I will definitely not give up my dream of becoming the Pirate King, as long as I don't fall into the sea!"

"Are you saying that those with devil fruit abilities will lose their power when they touch sea water?"

Aqua, who was in a state of panic, became interested instantly. Lin Zhi never mentioned this weakness to her!
"Yes, those bastards Shanks and Lachilu even experimented on me with water. This is simply too much!"

When it came to Shanks, Luffy became extremely angry and clenched his fists in displeasure.

"Can ordinary water also have an effect?" Aqua's eyes became a little brighter.

Even sea water can target people with Devil Fruit abilities, so wouldn't the restraint effect of the divine goddess water she summoned be even greater? !
"It should be okay." Luffy thought for a few seconds and nodded.

"Let me try it out!"

Without giving Luffy time to react, Aqua stretched out her palm and lightly grabbed the air.

As the holy light shone, something similar to a magical girl's staff was held in her palm.

Lin Zhi, who knew what this guy wanted to do next, did not stop him, but stood aside and watched.

He also wanted to see if Aqua's water could have the same effect on Devil Fruit users as sea water.

I believe that no matter how stupid Aqua is, she won’t flood the entire restaurant, right?

hum!
As Aqua activated her power, the pink buds at the end of the staff slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a water column as powerful as a fountain spurted out!

The unsuspecting little Luffy was knocked upside down by the oncoming water before he could dodge.

wow wow wow.

Clear water flowed in the restaurant, reaching Lin Zhi's knees in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhi: "..." "Gulu gulu gulu."

Luffy was stunned when he was submerged in the water. He subconsciously shook his hands and feet in an attempt to struggle, but he couldn't muster the strength and could only spit out strings of blisters.

"Stupid goddess! You really want to flood my restaurant!"

Lin Zhi quickly walked over, grabbed Luffy's vest from the back, and lifted him out of the water.

After being rescued from the terrible suffocation, all the teeth in Luffy's mouth became jagged in anger, and he followed Lin Zhi and cursed angrily: "Bastard Aqua! Do you want to kill me?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

With an awkward yet apologetic smile on her lips, Aqua bowed wildly to Lin Zhi and Luffy, apologizing again and again.

She was used to releasing holy water-generating magic on bandit strongholds, but she couldn't control her strength for a while...

Seeing that Luffy, who was lifted up in mid-air by Lin Zhi, still looked fierce, Aqua's eyes flickered, and she immediately thought of a good way to apologize.

"Okay, Luffy, to express my apology, you can eat here for free from now on."

"really?"

"Yeah! The same goes for drinks. You can drink whatever you want."

"Awesome! Aqua, you are indeed a good person!"

After hearing that he could just go to the restaurant to eat, the anger on Luffy's face completely dissipated, and he grinned with his trademark bright smile.

"...I'm still here."

Lin Zhi, who listened to the conversation between the two, had a dark look on his face.

Having said that, he didn't really argue with Aqua and Luffy, and acted quite magnanimously.

Because there's no point in fussing about it, they were just eating and drinking in the store for free!

However, judging from Luffy's reaction, the water created by Aqua can indeed restrain Devil Fruit abilities.

This is consistent with what he expected when he made a wish for a partner, which is more or less good news.

At least until they learn the Haki of Armed Color and Knowledge Color, they won't be helpless when facing people with fruit abilities.

Speaking of armed color and knowledge color, two essential domineering qualities for a strong person...

In fact, during this year in Windmill Village, Lin Zhiyou tried to seek advice from the red-haired pirates stationed here, as well as Garp, who occasionally returned to his hometown after completing his mission.

Perhaps because of their respective positions, they tacitly avoided direct encounters.

The conclusion reached is quite different, that is, his physical fitness is not up to the level of practicing domineering.

It's okay to understand the most basic principles. Forcibly practicing will only bring serious burdens and hidden dangers to the body, and the harm far outweighs the benefits!
Seeing the harmonious scene where Aqua and Luffy showed off their abilities to each other after the water receded, and then laughed happily, Lin Zhi simply found a quiet corner away from them and sat down.

'I wonder if I can meet the minimum requirements for practicing domineering after my body's defense has been strengthened by the wishing pool? ’ He pondered secretly in his heart.

He had already learned the general method of cultivation from Shanks and Garp (at the cost of a meal). It just so happened that he didn't have to go to Sig's lair to cause damage during the recent period, so he could have enough time to study it carefully.

Putting aside the illusory overlord color, the sooner you master the two basic haqi, the knowledge color and the armed color, the better!
In this way, amid the fight between Aqua and Luffy, Lin Zhi finalized the next action plan.

　Regarding the question of water, Oda once answered it in SBS. Ordinary water can have an impact on people with abilities as long as it is in large amounts.
