"speaking of…"
Rex patted Hoffman on the shoulder
"Of you guys, apart from Rupert's ability, what I'm most optimistic about is your ability!"
"Animal type·Bug fruit·Demon iron beetle form…This fruit is really powerful!".
"There are very few people in the ocean who can break through your defense and endurance after eating this Devil Fruit."
Elina often directs Hoffman to control the direction of the ship. She is by his side most of the time and is most familiar with Hoffman."Indeed, the endurance is nearly 40,000 times!"
"Hoffman weighs about two tons, right? At this multiple, it would take at least 50,000 tons of force to hurt Hoffman."
'In our Titan Pirates, only Big Brother and Lingling can do it!'
"real! ?"When Rupert and others heard this astronomical figure, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
"Come on, come on, show us!"
Hoffman smiled naively,"Okay!"After that, he walked into the field.
As the Devil Fruit ability was activated, Hoffman's size began to grow huge.
The original five-meter size immediately increased to more than six meters and nearly seven meters.
When Hoffman is fully developed , when it is not long, it is estimated that it can be more than eight meters or even nine meters after activating the ability!
The dark carapace with uneven texture on the back gives everyone a thick and hard feeling.
Rex stepped forward,"Hoff Man, I'll try to attack. If you can't bear it, tell me!"
"good!"Hoffman's voice became a little unpleasant after turning into a bug.
His right fist was clenched, and the muscles on Rex's arm bulged, holding up his clothes.
"I am coming! Rex warned, and punched Hoffman on the back with about 50% of his strength.
Boom!
The dull loud noise echoed, making everyone feel a little tight in their chests.
Hoffman was hit like a cannonball. They flew out and were blasted into the ice by Rex's huge force.
Everyone looked nervous, feeling that the force used by Rex was a bit too strong.
But the next moment, they saw Hoffman rushing out of the ice.
Look. That way, nothing happened at all!
"Brother, I'm fine!"
Hoffman also knew that Rex didn't use a lot of force, so he suggested:"You can try it with more force!"
Feeling his own defense power, Hoffman's usually calm heart was also a little excited:"I also want to test my defense ability and endurance!"
"good!"Rex nodded and did not refuse.
At that moment, Rex felt that his power, which was still far from its peak, was unlikely to hurt Hoffman.
"This time, I will use my full strength!"
"Come on though, bro!"Hoffman's expression turned serious.
Rex clenched his fist again, with such terrifying force that it even burst the air.
"drink!"
Like teleportation, Rex disappeared from the spot, and appeared next to Hoffman in the next moment.
Boom!!!
A far louder sound sounded than before.
The violent sound waves were like sonic waves destroying weapons, with thousands of people in a radius All the meters of ice exploded into thin ice crystals.
The ice under Hoffman's feet could not withstand such force. When it shattered, it cracked completely, dividing the entire glacier into two pieces.
And his body fell again It shot out, almost through the glacier, and was driven into the sea water.
Unscathed!
Hoffman, who appeared again, only coughed a few times, and his face was a little flushed due to the surge of blood and energy, but it was not visible on the dark insect face. , only he can feel it
"this…This is too exaggerated. ~ !"Elton was dumbfounded. They are all bug fruit users. How could he cheat like this!
Not even the elder brother's power could break through the defense, or even cause serious damage.
Isn't this pure cheating?
"What a terrifying defense. There are probably not many people on this sea who can withstand Big Brother's full punch."
"Yes, Lingling, even you can't bear it."Everyone was amazed and even asked Lingling for confirmation.
Lingling rolled her eyes,"Although my talent is the same as Rex's, with strong defense, our power is equally powerful!"
"Rex struck with all his strength, don't worry about me, he himself would be hurt too!"
"Moreover, Hoffman is the top-notch insect fruit, and we have not grown to the peak of our own talents!"
"Then isn't Hoffman's defense even more exaggerated than that of his elder brother?"Charlie exclaimed.
Lingling thought for a while, shook her head and said:"Hoffman's defense is directly brought about by the fruit ability. The current defense after beast transformation is so strong."
"It can withstand nearly 40,000 times now, and it will continue to be so in the future. This is a limitation of the animal type and non-phantom beast species."
"Thinking about it, it will be difficult to improve in the future. Hoffman can only continue to improve his defense and endurance by working hard on his body and weapon colors."
"However, if you can awaken it, you should be able to increase your defense."
"But Rex and I, our talents are constantly rising with development and practice."
"At least for now, none of us feel the limit"
"Probably in the end, at least he will not be worse than Hoffman, and may even be stronger because of his domineering armament."
"That's amazing. You and the captain are destined to become top powerhouses."Neptune couldn't hide his shock and continued.
"Although Hoffman's combat power cannot keep up with yours, his defensive power is comparable to yours, which is already very strong. At least we can't do anything to Hoffman anymore."
Everyone is envious of Hoffman's explosive growth in strength.
Hoffman was already the most talented among them after Rex and Lingling, but now a Devil Fruit has directly boosted him so much.
Although and The future achievements of Rex and Lingling cannot be compared.
But only their defense and endurance can reach the top ranks.
In addition to envy, everyone also has a greater sense of security.
On the court, Lei���Sri Lanka's test of Hoffman isn't over yet
"Hoffman, next, I will use a knife, please be careful and avoid it if you feel in danger!"
"good!"
Rex pulled out the knife from behind and pointed it at Hoffman with his domineering force.
After removing the domineering force from the knife, Rex approached Hoffman and slashed it with his sword.
Dang!
A terrifying sound like the ringing of a yellow bell. Exploded.
Rex looked at Hoffman in shock. Even though the knife was struck with only three points of force, there was still no scratch on Hoffman's body.
"Come again!"Rex wanted to see how far Hoffman's defense could reach.
It just so happened that Hoffman himself had the same idea.
This time, Rex directly used 70% of his power.
Dang!!
Poof~ this time , because the narrow blade brings greater pressure, and the huge force acts more on one line.
The force penetrates into the body, and although the body surface defense absorbs most of the impact, Hoffman's internal organs are still damaged by the remaining force. There was a certain amount of trauma.
But judging from Hoffman's condition, it was just a little bit of trauma, and it didn't have much impact.
But it wasn't just that, the sharpness of the knife cut a crack in Hoffman's outer armor.
It was very shallow. , not even a centimeter.
For the additional thickness of Hoffmann, which is at least ten centimeters, it is basically useless
"It's really terrible. Can you still bear it? Hoffman?"Rex wanted to try again, but Hoffman just vomited blood, so he had to be careful. It would be bad if he really hurt his brother.
"no problem!"Hoffman felt it. The little trauma to his internal organs just now is not a big deal.
Moreover, the animal system also has a lot of bonuses to recovery.
At this time, the impact of the injury just now is basically gone.
"々` Then here I come!"Rex looked solemn, because this time he was using all his strength.
The blade broke the air, and the sound could not keep up with the speed of the knife.
Dang!!!
Hoffman vomited blood again and was knocked away.
But after he came back, there was still nothing Big problem.
Rex observed for a moment and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He slashed with all his strength and only broke about five centimeters of the outer armor!
"It's so scary. This devilish iron beetle is really the ceiling among insects!"
"If you don't use weapons and just rely on physical skills, not many top experts can break your defense, and even fewer will be able to break your defense without using weapons and domineering."
"And you don't need to be armed and domineering. Even if I use a knife, I can't break your defense!"
At this time, everyone who gathered around heard Rex's words and was shocked to the point of numbness. All that was left was envy.
But it was just envy. Hoffman's physical talent was so amazing that he could use this fruit to this extent.
If only Even if they have nearly 40,000 times the defense and endurance, they will not be this strong because their bodies are not strong enough.
"From now on, Hoffman will be the strongest shield of our Titan Pirates."
Elena happily patted the big guy Hoffman.
Although she is a little smaller than Hoffman, but because of Hoffman's Personality makes her feel like a sister.
It's just a coincidence, Hov���She also feels like a brother looks at his sister.
In fact, except for Rex and the new crew members, everyone he looks at (Hao Hao Zhao) has the mentality of an older brother.
So since childhood, he has taken care of everyone and often helped everyone
"The strongest shield?"Rex repeated it, savoring it carefully, and felt that this statement was indeed good.
"This is a good statement. From now on, Hoffman, you will be the strongest shield of our Titan Pirates!"Rex patted Hoffman, who turned pale after returning to his human form.
The attack just now still had some impact.
"Well, brother, I will be everyone's strongest shield from now on, and I will definitely do my best to protect everyone's machines!"
Hoffman smiled naively and touched the back of his head, saying his promise.
And he would do the same in the future.
"In the future, you should exercise your physical fitness and hone your armament and domineering energy, so that you can continue to improve your defense and strengthen your attack."
"I don't want you to be beaten passively"
"yes! Brother!"
After testing several people's Devil Fruit abilities, everyone returned to Hulk Island from the Devil's Triangle with surprises.
For the next three days, Rex, Tom, Dan, and Rupert, who was about to learn a craft, kept talking about the new About the ship.
It took a full week before the new ship was finalized and construction officially started.
