Among the three, the two who had consumed Zoan-type Devil Fruits suddenly began to undergo changes!
Brother Chicken’s beak was the first to disappear, and that other guy—whatever kind of bird he was—also started reverting to his human form!
Both of them looked at each other in horror.
“What’s happening to you guys? Why are you turning back into humans?”
The user of the Fur-Fur Fruit looked at them in confusion, completely unaware of what was going on.
“What do you think?! My ability is gone!”
Brother Chicken snapped back.
Hearing this, the other guy panicked and immediately tried using his fur-generating powers!
Sure enough! He couldn’t create a single hair!
All three of them turned to look at Vir at the same time, their faces filled with absolute terror.
What kind of ability was this!?
This guy! This guy…!
He could erase Devil Fruit powers!
They had lived for so long, yet they had never heard of such a thing! This was beyond comprehension!
Even Chopper, who was groggily watching from the side, had an expression of complete disbelief.
“Who the hell are you?! How can a monster like you exist in this country?!” Brother Chicken shouted in horror.
In mere seconds! The three of them had all lost their Devil Fruit abilities!
This was beyond terrifying.
They didn’t dare act recklessly anymore.
After all, someone who could do something like this was definitely not as simple as he looked!
Vir, seeing their reaction, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, it worked.
But he also didn’t dare move rashly.
They thought he was some kind of master?
Was he actually strong?
Obviously not!
So he had to act like a powerhouse!
Maybe he could scare them off!
Just as he was about to speak—
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 80 Negative Points.]
The system’s voice rang out.
Oh right! His system!
He had a system shop!
Now that he had points, he just needed to stall for time and quickly find something that could save his life!
On the surface, he maintained a composed posture, hands behind his back, looking at the three with an air of authority.
“With beings like you, I could erase you with a mere wave of my hand.”
Meanwhile, he had already opened the system shop, scanning through the vast array of items at lightning speed, searching for something useful in this moment.
After all, he was just an ordinary person right now.
Even if the three in front of him had lost their Devil Fruit powers, so what?
They were still normal people in the world of pirates! Could normal logic apply to them?
Not to mention, three against one—he’d be toast in an instant!
He could only rely on the system!
Hearing his words, the three of them shuddered slightly.
Erased in an instant?
Was he bluffing?
They exchanged glances.
“What do you think? Should we retreat? No point risking our lives for those few berries, right?” The Fur-Fur Fruit user asked Brother Chicken.
Brother Chicken was their leader. He really wanted to turn and run, but if he did, his boss would skin him alive later.
“Run? Run where?! He’s just bluffing! In Brother Chicken’s dictionary—”
“There’s no such thing as retreat!”
Hearing this, the other two facepalmed.
This guy was great at everything, except his brain wasn’t wired right.
Risking your life for a few measly coins—what kind of logic was that?!
“Let’s observe a bit more! Be ready to strike at any moment!”
At that moment, Vir finally found an item in the system shop that made his eyes light up!
‘Healing, Energy Boosting, Near-Death Reviving, External Injury Restoring Special Serum’
Price: 80 Negative Points (First-time purchase discount for new users. Original price: 200,000!)
Note: The new user status lasts only for three minutes after obtaining the system.
Effect: Can heal most external injuries. The injected person will instantly feel rejuvenated and, even if on the brink of death, will temporarily regain the ability to act.
Note: This item cannot be stored. If not used within three minutes, it will disappear.
If he used this on Chopper, dealing with these three would be a piece of cake!
This item seemed precious, but if he didn’t use it now, he might never get it again!
The three in front of him were already on the verge of attacking. He had to intimidate them again!
“You dare doubt me?! Watch closely! I’ll show you my ability to create objects out of thin air!”
Even though Vir was cringing internally, feeling secondhand embarrassment to the extreme, he still spoke with unwavering confidence.
Hearing this, the three stopped hesitating.
“Creating objects out of thin air? That’s impossible! You haven’t even eaten a Devil Fruit, how could you have that ability?”
Brother Chicken looked unconvinced.
The other two felt the same.
“Kid, stop tryi—”
But before he could finish—
A syringe suddenly appeared in Vir’s hand!
This unexpected scene made the three of them widen their eyes in shock!
What… what the hell?!
How could he create something out of thin air?!
A syringe?!
Just a syringe wouldn’t have surprised them too much.
But…
This syringe was MASSIVE!!!
Vir was now holding a syringe taller and thicker than himself, looking absolutely dumbfounded.
What the hell?!
What the hell is this?!
Why doesn’t it look like what was shown in the system shop?!
The shop displayed a tiny, normal-sized syringe!
Where was the disclaimer about an enlargement feature?!
If it was this big, at least put a note!!
And it had to appear directly in his hands?!
If this thing had dropped from above, he’d be skewered!
It was also ridiculously heavy!
Veins bulging, Vir struggled to hold it up.
“Well? Is this proof enough?!”
Vir forced out the words through gritted teeth, his face flushed red from the strain.
Although the three were shocked by his ability, seeing his trembling hands and strained expression, their doubts didn’t completely fade.
“Isn’t he just weak? Could he still be bluffing?”
The other Bird-Bird Fruit user was beginning to suspect again.
Vir realized he couldn’t keep up the act much longer.
This system was seriously screwing him over!
Fine! Time for Plan B!
He pointed at Chopper and said, “That guy ruined your plans, right? You were going to kill him anyway! Now that you’ve lost your powers, it’ll be harder for you! How about I help you out?!”
Hearing this, the three nodded in agreement.
They had just lost their abilities and felt significantly weaker.
Since this guy was willing to do it for them, why not save their strength?
But wasn’t he their target? Why was he helping them?
Was he trying to earn their mercy?
Meanwhile, Chopper was utterly breaking down.
Big bro!
I saved you!!
Why are you turning around and trying to kill me?!
That terrifyingly massive needle made Chopper nearly wet himself!
But he couldn’t even move right now.
He regretted everything!
Why did he save this guy?!
If he had known how twisted Vir was, he wouldn’t just have ignored him—he’d have stomped on him a couple of times for good measure!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 100 Negative Points.]
Huh? Just from Chopper alone?
So the amount depended on the person, huh?
As Vir was pondering this, he acted swiftly.
The enormous needle plunged into Chopper’s rear!
*ROAAAAAARR!!!*
A deafening cry echoed through the cave!
Chopper screamed in agony!
The needle nearly impaled him!
But then, his injuries rapidly healed, his energy returned, and his strength surged!
“Chopper! This is a healing serum! How do you feel?!”
