3 Chapter 3

I felt that several auras were haunting me. One of these auras was more remarkable, deeper.

I turned to look and immediately understood whose it was, yes, it was he - a small old man.

He ran after me faster than anyone else and gradually caught up.

Hmm, what to do? Will I be able to defeat the old man? My strength may not be enough, although I was stronger than that big warrior, but judging by the aura, this old man was definitely twice as strong.

ABOUT! Exactly! How could I forget? I now have new strength.

"Interface!" - A development tree appeared in front of me, but now it has changed. The branch "Fruit" now glowed in the same way as the branches "Abilities" and "Condition"

The Fruit section has been highlighted and the branch is active. As soon as I decided to look further, information filled my head.

From the data, I figured that I activated one branch of the fruit by eating the devil fruit. To activate another branch, which will allow you to have another fruit in your body, you need to spend three development points.

And after that, you can eat another fruit.

Yes, you can have two fruits here, be stunned ...

Although as soon as I saw my first active fruit, I was a little blown away:

Gravity from 0 to 100.

The strength of the nebula is from 100 to 500.

The strength of the universe is from 500 to 1000.

Where can I get so many glasses? In addition, one development point is required to activate the "Force of Gravity". It turns out that the stages of fruit development are counted in the same way as skills. Well, not surprising, otherwise everything would be too simple.

It looks like the activation of each new power will cost more and more development points. At least I think so.

I decided to activate the force of gravity and spent a development point.

- Wow! Damn, this feeling is awesome ... - I felt like I could control the gravity around me. Before that, I also felt that I could, but not so much, as if I awakened the true force of gravity. Before, I could control it quite a bit, probably because I did not train the strength of fruit ownership, like all fruit. But now, it was as easy as breathing.

I tried to change my weight a little in order to run faster.

- Ho, it seems to work. - I became a little lighter, but not much, while it was quite difficult to control gravity.

Damn, this old guy got faster too. It looks like the battle cannot be avoided. I can't get it any faster, and if I lighten the weight even more, I might not master it.

I may be able to run faster, but now is not the time to try. I can't risk that. It is necessary to take him away from the rest of the warriors and fight away from them.

I'm much more interested in the fruit's combat capabilities.

After a few minutes of chase, the rest of the auras fell behind, but the old man continued to chase. I decided to run for another five minutes and find a suitable place to fight.

After another race, I still found a suitable place.

It was a clearing with stones of different sizes, possibly some of the altars. But now it doesn't matter, I hope the force of gravity and these stones will help me in battle.

Stopping on one of the stones, I began to wait, and in less than a few seconds the old man caught up with me.

- Stranger, you dare to eat the sacred fruit of Kurgas! I am Pacaral a stranger! - The old man began to shout, stopping five meters from me.

- Wow, you speak my language, where did you learn it? And who is Kurgas? - I decided to chat a little, but what? There is no one to talk to on the island, not to miss the moment, hehe.

- Stranger to die! - The old man attacked, with such speed that I almost choked.

Yes, the conversation did not work out.

The old man attacked very quickly, I barely had time to dodge, there was no time even to counterattack. After about ten minutes, I started to get tired.

Plus, he hit me several times.

Heck! If this continues, my stamina will run out and I will be killed.

Okay. Then...

- Gravity! - I picked up the nearest small stones and threw them at the old man.

* Bach * * Bach * * Bach *

The stones flew right into the old man's head, he began to dodge, but it was not there.

Having picked up a couple dozen more stones, I threw them in his back, at the same time I decided to attack.

Although he was able to dodge the lunge of the spear, but I already foresaw it. I moved the spear down in a straight line and cut him in the tendon.

"Arghhh ..." He grimaced in pain. But I didn't give him a break. I used the force of gravity to the maximum and tried to limit his speed, at the same time throwing stones at him.

Taking a spear and squeezing out all my strength and speed, I attacked with a spear. The spear flew right at him, but ...

* Bach *

The blow hit me on the head, I didn't even understand how it happened. Yours ... He hit me with his tambourine.

Heck! It was already dim in my eyes, the blow was powerful.

My whole head is covered in blood ... A little more and I will pass out ...

Okay, if you are, then ...

- GRAVITATION! "I used the largest stone I could lift and threw at it. At the same time, I threw the spear.

Although I used gravity on the spear, I sent most of it to the stone.

I hope it works.

Heck! So heavy! It looks like the stone is heavy for me so far.

- Arrrr! GO ON! - In addition to the blood from the broken head, I started to bleed from the nose and ears.

The stone flew into him first, he blocked it with a tambourine, but then ...

* Svshschshch *

-Khhhh .... - The old man wheezed, but it's too late. A spear pierced his back and heart. He looks as tired as mine, otherwise it wouldn't work out ...

- Heh .. heh, today .. not your ... day ... - As soon as I said that, I immediately passed out.

After a while ...

Coming to my senses, the first thing I did was look around. Not far from me lay a dead old man in a pool of blood, with a spear in his back.

I myself was covered in abrasions, and there was dried blood on my face and ears.

There was a small lake nearby. I decided to wash, and at the same time to look at myself, I have never seen my face yet.

I took off my clothes and washed myself quickly. Looking into my reflection, I was a little stunned.

My body was a little thin, but the muscle relief was already visible, at least for me, and you can't say that I was sixteen years old. Although my height was matched to my age, about one meter seventy.

My hair was deep black. The face was pretty decent, not to say I'm damn handsome, but I'm definitely nothing. The facial features were still a little childish, although the masculine features had already begun to appear. Growing up after all.

But I was stunned not from this, but from my eyes.

The eyes ... They were reddish-orange in color and shone like the sun. They gave a slightly strange feeling ...

Is it because of the fruit? It had the same streaks besides other colors. This one was very similar, could this feature of Paramecia affect the host's body? Luffy, for example, had a rubbery body.

Okay, I think you shouldn't worry too much about this, I like them and this is the main thing.

Although, who knows how others will react ... It will be interesting to see, I would be surprised if I saw such eyes, hehehe.

Approaching the old man, I examined him a little.

An old man like an old man, really dead.

I think it's worth killing the others, too, so they don't band together and finish me off. Now they have more than one reason to do it.

But how do you get out of here? I don't have a ship, build a raft?

Hmm, but I can't swim in the sea, and even now I'm a fruit. What if I roll over?

Eh, okay, until I get rid of the fanatics. Yes, I'll look around, maybe I'll think of something.
