(Part 1) 21: Chapter 11: Acquiring the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, A Shady Reincarnation Space!
(Part 1) “No…
this is impossible…
I still have…” This was Enel’s final thought before his consciousness dissipated.
As the blue light faded, only a massive ice sculpture remained in the sky.
The lightning giant was frozen mid-air in his pleading posture, a look of pure terror etched on his face.
Every single streak of lightning within his body was perfectly preserved by the ice crystals, looking like an eternal masterpiece of art.
The dark clouds parted.
Sunlight filtered through the ice crystals, refracting into a breathtaking, suffocatingly beautiful rainbow of colors.
Alex gazed at the ice sculpture, his eyes entirely devoid of emotion.
“In the face of Absolute Zero, even time itself freezes.
What use is mere lightning?” Marineford plunged into a deathly silence once again.
The Marines’ jaws dropped, completely forgetting their worshipful bows.
The…
the Commander has fallen just like that?
The pirates’ eyes were wide round as if they had witnessed a miracle.
This was no longer a battle between humans; it was a war of gods!
The Reincarnators were completely drained of color.
That terrifying, invincible lightning giant was frozen solid in a single move.
This generation’s Hunter was terrifyingly overpowered!
They seared Alex’s face deep into their minds, swearing to themselves that if they ever saw this man again, they would run as far and fast as physically possible.
“Rest in peace.” Alex extended a single finger and gently tapped the center of the lightning giant’s forehead.
Crack!
The faint sound of fracturing spread like dominoes.
The ice sculpture began to disintegrate from the top of its head.
Countless ice crystals rained down until, with a loud boom, it shattered into a sky full of glittering motes.
The motes of light swirled in the air for a moment before forming a brilliant rainbow that stretched across the frozen wasteland.
The Marines slumped to the ground, utterly broken and weeping freely.
“Commander!” Heart-wrenching wails erupted from the Marine ranks.
Many threw themselves onto the ice, beating their chests in grief.
Even though Enel was a Fallen Reincarnator disrupting the timeline, his fiercely protective nature over his subordinates had won him significant loyalty within the Marines.
His fall shattered the spirits of many.
An era had ended!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku’s heart turned to ash.
His meticulously planned Paramount War had resulted in the death of the Commander.
He could not escape the blame!
Alex ignored the commotion below as a pale blue notification popped up before his eyes.
[Tier 9 Fallen Reincarnator 11200981ase has been eliminated.
Acquired: Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
Acquired: Fallen Reincarnator 11200981ase’s base attributes of 4,000,000.
Acquired: 1,000,000 Credit Points!] [Fallen Reincarnator 11200981ase’s Reincarnation Space inventory has been recycled.
Total value calculated: 200,000 Credit Points!] Oh?
Alex raised an eyebrow.
This Fallen Reincarnator had given him quite a pleasant surprise.
He had transformed into the Body of the Thunder God, frantically absorbing natural lightning to stack his attributes.
Surprisingly, these temporarily boosted attribute points were also factored into the final settlement and granted to him.
Alex’s attribute panel now looked like this: [Name: Alex (World Hunter 003)] [Strength: 11,000,000] [Agility: 11,000,000] [Spirit: 11,000,000] [Constitution: 11,000,000] [Cosmo: Peak Seventh Sense Cosmo] [Ultimate Techniques: Diamond Dust, Aurora Execution] [Reincarnation Talents: World Travel, Plunder, Rumble-Rumble Fruit] Alex focused his mind on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and its details instantly expanded.
[Rumble-Rumble Fruit: SS-Rank Logia-Type Devil Fruit] [Core Abilities: Lightning manipulation, elementalization of the body.
The destructive power of the lightning scales with the user’s four core attributes!] [Warning: Devil Fruit users will be rejected by the sea.] Reading this, Alex smiled faintly.
Other Devil Fruit users might fear the ocean, but for an ice-elemental user, the sea was no different from flat ground.
