On the Spade Pirates' ship.
"Great, Ace, you actually defeated two vice admirals." Deuce said with a surprised expression on his face.
At this moment, Ace, who was lying on the deck with wounds all over his body, smiled, "It wasn't just me who did it. The other vice admiral who was defeated by Ayaan!"
Ace's mood at this moment was undoubtedly very complicated. It was not easy, after all, among all the leg hair pendants in his Spade Pirates, there was finally one who could help him.
The other members of the Spade Pirates were also very surprised. They didn't expect that Ace's new member would be so capable! It was said that everyone will be rotten together, but I didn't expect you to be such a great player?
At this time, Ayaan, with blood still flowing from his head, came over and said, "Ace, let me heal your injuries first."
"Ah..., that..." Thinking of Ayaan's treatment method, Ace felt a little scared, "I think it's still..."
However, Ayaan has been coveting Ace's body for a long time, so he certainly didn't give Ace a chance to continue speaking. He just opened his mouth wide and swallowed him.
"Ugh! It feels so scary!" The other crew members of the Spade Pirates all showed a bit of fear on their faces. After all, this was a fruit that could swallow a living person. Even though they all knew that this was the ability of Ayaan's fruit, the visual impact was still too much for them to bear.
This time, it seemed that Ace was seriously injured. Therefore, it took several minutes for Ayaan to spit Ace out.
"It's a strange feeling to be eaten by someone." Ace, who was lying on the deck, took two breaths, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he stood up straight.
"My injuries have fully recovered! Although the treatment method is a bit weird, Ayaan, your trick is quite effective!"
"But Ayaan, how do you deal with your own injuries?"
Ayaan opened his eyes, which had been closed, to hide the excitement in his eyes. "Haha. You will soon know how i deal with my own injuries! Look at my special move - 'I eat myself ', you haven't seen it before, have you?"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and the size of his jaw became particularly exaggerated. He swallowed the entire head from bottom to top, then the neck, and then the upper body...
Soon, Ayaan's entire body was swallowed up by his mouth, and in the end, only a squirming mouth was left on the deck.
The members of the Spade Pirates were silent for a moment, looking stunned. Finally, with a scream, everyone became panicked.
"What should I do? What should I do? Ayaan was eaten by himself!"
"Monster, monster, monster, monster!"
But soon, the mouth on the deck opened, and a figure came out of it, and Ayaan appeared again.
"Hallucination, this must be an hallucination!"
Deuce rubbed his eyes, looked at Ayaan, who was intact, his injuries had fully recovered, and his body lines were even more muscular than at the beginning, and murmured a few words.
However, although the Spade Pirates' crew was very panicked, Ace was surprised at first, but then he was very curious.
"Amazing! How did you do that? Can a devil fruit even do something like this?"
Not only is it self-healing, but Ace also keenly felt that after Ayaan went through the "I eat myself" drama, his whole spirit and energy were very different, and even his strength seemed to have increased.
Ace's feeling was indeed correct. With his family's dedication and according to Ace's physical data, Ayaan finally carried out the first round of self-transformation on his own body. Although this kind of human body transformation could not fully reach Ace's own potential standards, it also allowed Ayaan to possess about 80% of Ace's potential.
This is also because what Ayaan has increased is only his potential, so Ace only feels that Ayaan's strength seems to have improved a little. If it is fully realized into strength, then Ayaan's improvement cannot be concealed at all.
As for the changes in his entire spirit, it goes without saying that if Ayaan felt his body was full of vitality and potential, and his mental state did not change at all, that would be truly deceptive.
"The Baku Baku no Mi is no worse than your Mera Mera no Mi. It just requires some imagination to use it." Ayaan said with a smile.
"Damn it, if only we could exchange our devil fruits. I also want to try the feeling of eating myself with the Baku Baku no Mi ." Ace looked pitiful, his thoughts turning to the Baku Baku no Mi.
To him, the power of the Baku Baku no Mi is secondary, and fun comes first. This is a typical idea of an adventurous pirate.
After this battle, the Navy seemed to have stopped chasing the Spade Pirates, but instead sent an invitation letter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea shortly afterwards.
Of course, just like in the original work, Ace quickly rejected the invitation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Afterwards, the Navy raised Ace's bounty, but also did not forget Ayaan.
"For defeating a vice admiral, the bounty is only 60 million?" Ayaan said with a pout as he looked at the bounty in his hand.
"Don't say that. In the Spade Pirates, apart from you and the captain, only Vice Captain Deuce has a bounty of 20 million. So a bounty of 60 million Berry's is already very high!"
A member of the Spade Pirates wearing a skull mask spoke up.
That's because you guys are too bad! What is the Spade Pirates? It can be simply called Ace and his thigh pendant! Ayaan secretly complained in his heart.
Think about it, when Ace was executed, the Spade Pirates didn't even show up. You have to know that at that time, they were also merged into the Whitebeard Pirates. Considering the current atmosphere of the Spade Pirates, it is definitely nonsense to say that they didn't dare to save Ace because of fear.
In that case, if they did not show up when Ace was executed, there were only two possibilities.
The first reason was that their strength was too poor, and Whitebeard didn't even take them to play together at that time.
The second possibility is even worse. Because of their poor strength, even if they participated in the battle at the top, they didn't make any splash. They were probably not seen by anyone at all, and in the end they didn't even get a shot.
After taking a look at the bounty order, Ayaan didn't care about the bounty. After all, his values were different. He couldn't appreciate the bounty culture in the pirate world at all. On the contrary, he remembered the confidentiality regulations in the ninja world very clearly.
In the ninja world, there are very few ninjas who can stand out, and even fewer who can survive after standing out!
With Ayaan's current strength, he doesn't think being in the limelight is a good thing.
