373 Roger Pirates Apprentice
🕑 Added 2025-12-04 06:10:01 +0000 UTCThis was a very magical power,
It seemed to be making him younger.
If he didn't use Haki to resist, it would probably turn him directly into a seven or eight-year-old, the age before he joined the Roger Pirates,
Which is to say, child Orin.
But Orin didn't like looking up at others, so he used Haki to cancel out a portion of this peculiar power. Now, his physical age had returned to roughly eighteen or nineteen years old,
His Haki level remained at the level of a near forty-year-old, but other aspects had regressed with his youth,
Of course, if he wanted to return to his original age, he just needed to use Conqueror's Haki internally; a single shock would suffice,
But that would be much less fun.
Accompanying the effect of the power, in the eyes of outsiders, Orin's originally mature appearance and temperament began to slowly change,
Although his height remained just over three meters, his hair was slightly shorter, and his face became very young and energetic,
About the same age as Luffy and Zoro.
Orin's Observation Haki could naturally perceive his own changes; that was indeed how he looked at eighteen or nineteen,
"What?!! My ability was clearly supposed to turn you into a child..."
Bonney looked puzzled, not understanding why it was different from what she expected,
But the thoughts of the others were very different.
"That legendary figure has now turned into his younger self. Isn't this our chance?"
Mafia boss Bege smiled at this moment, believing he had discovered a blind spot in the situation,
If it was the terrifyingly incomparable [Black Gun] Orin from just a moment ago, whose mere presence made them unable to move,
Then he would definitely bow down immediately, perhaps even actively asking to join the other's command, waiting for an opportunity to strike back later.
But the current [Black Gun] had been turned into a young man of their age group by the Devil Fruit ability,
It was just like a fantasy novel; they dared not fight an old monster, but did they not dare to fight someone in the same realm?
All were the most outstanding rookie pirates of the younger generation; which of the Supernovas wasn't confident that they were invincible among young people?
They all felt that for Orin to be so strong, he must be like many powerhouses of the old era, having the advantage of age,
If they had been born decades ago, they might not have failed to contend for the title of a legendary pirate.
However...
A king is a king after all,
A king at any age.
Orin remembered that when he was at this age...
He seemed to still be seizing territory and acting as an [Emperor]?
"Men, get him!!!"
"Take Black Gun's head and let the world remember our names!!!"
In an instant, countless subordinates emerged from Bege's body, firing fiercely at Orin, some even strafing with machine guns.
"Interesting..."
Orin at this moment was obviously much more domineering and arrogant, perhaps because his youthful body allowed him to retrieve some of his past hot-bloodedness,
"Castle-Castle Fruit, using human wave tactics?"
Orin grinned, defeating the opponent in the way they were best at,
"Now, your people are mine~"
He just snapped his fingers lightly,
Suddenly, Capone Bege acted as if he had eaten something bad, suddenly clutching his stomach and starting to vomit blood,
At the same time, countless bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.
"What are you doing... Bastards!!!"
Inside his body, countless subordinates began to defect, wreaking havoc inside the castle,
Even the subordinates who weren't inside the castle but around him began to turn their guns, shooting indiscriminately at Bege.
"This... what is this!!!?"
Bonney and Hawkins stared blankly at this scene,
He just snapped his fingers, why did they start fighting among themselves?
This can't be explained by a Devil Fruit ability anymore, right?
At this moment, they even suspected,
Was Orin something like,
A Snap-Snap human who ate the Snap-Snap Fruit,
Or a Magic human who ate the Magic-Magic Fruit, and the hand gesture to use magic was snapping fingers.
"Even after being turned into a young man, is the gap still so terrifying and disparate?"
Hawkins swallowed his saliva, looking at Bege who was being beaten into a wretched state by his own men, and a feeling involuntarily rose in his heart,
This man might truly be the strongest.
"Don't screw with me!!!"
Being gang-beaten by his subordinates, Bege's eyes were red at this moment, evidently thoroughly enraged,
"Castle!!!"
"Oh how scary"
The originally wretched Bege suddenly turned the color of stone all over, his entire body rapidly swelling and rising,
Transforming into a gigantic castle human.
All the subordinates were thrown out of the castle windows by him,
He looked angrily at Orin's figure.
"You guy who only plays cheap tricks, watch how I crush you flat!!!"
Since his appearance, Orin had always displayed his unsolvable Devil Fruit ability, perhaps giving them the illusion that they had a chance in close combat.
"Not good!!!"
Seeing that incredibly huge castle giant pressing down with its entire body, Hawkins' expression changed,
Although he had straw dolls to transfer fatal injuries, if a normal person were crushed by this kind of thing, probably...
"Just a big toy."
Orin held a cigarette in one hand, a disdainful smile on his face. He extended one hand from his youthful body and directly caught the massive castle body that weighed hundreds of tons,
"Nani?!!!"
Bege's face stiffened,
Instantly feeling as if his body was uncontrolled, he was forcibly lifted by a strength akin to the impact of a super-giant Sea King.
"Although the young body isn't strong enough, it wins in vitality."
Like an ant lifting an elephant, Orin lifted a castle with one hand, easily threw it into the air, and then his body instantly appeared in the air,
And kicked down.
Seeing this scene, Hawkins' pupils shrank abruptly,
He instantly turned into a scarecrow, extending countless straws to wrap up everyone present, and quickly moved away from the spot.
"Bang—!!!"
The earth shook and the mountains trembled. Orin landed lightly on the ground, standing beside the deep pit without even looking at the figure inside it,
He just walked towards the direction of Hawkins and the others on his own, marking a stroke in his small notebook,
"Done +1."
Under the trembling gazes of Hawkins and Bonney, the guards walked into the deep pit and directly dragged out Bege, who had been beaten back to his original form and fallen into a coma,
Joining the big family of Supernovas.
And Kid and the others, after seeing another new member join, were also astonished,
"That's Capone Bege, one of the Supernovas of the Sabaody Archipelago. I didn't expect him to be..."
"There's also Hawkins and Jewelry Bonney..."
Out of respect for Kuma, Bonney wasn't beaten up. She was just tied up with Seastone for being dishonest and joined the Supernova capture team. Only Hawkins was standing.
At this moment, his heart was full of rejoicing. Simultaneously facing the disdain of Kid and the others, he also exonerated himself,
"This man cannot be defeated. I did nothing wrong..."
"The remaining Supernovas will also be defeated by him."
Hawkins said without any psychological burden, because he had already seen it,
Orin was looking at the list of other Supernova personnel.
