Chapter 124: The General’s Arrival
"This hot breath..."
Mio frowned, raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered, "Is it that guy Akainu? This is getting troublesome. We need to leave and head to the first floor, above the sea."
After witnessing Aokiji's awakening last time, Mio understood that the three admirals had basically all awakened their Devil Fruits.
And now, of all times, it was Akainu who had arrived. If he continued to linger here on the third floor and waited for Akainu to descend, things would turn ugly quickly. Once Akainu activated his fruit awakening and altered the terrain, this entire floor could very well turn into a sea of lava.
Even though Armament Haki could provide temporary resistance, the prolonged exposure would drain a tremendous amount of stamina.
With a deepening frown, Mio suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "You guys! If you don't want to die, move now! The Navy's coming—do you want to be trapped here when they arrive?"
The moment his voice fell, Mio's figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of a pirate. He had just noticed this man had special abilities—a Superhuman-type Devil Fruit user—but he didn't yet know what kind.
Without hesitation, Mio grabbed the pirate by the neck and twisted sharply.
Crack!
The sound of the man's neck snapping echoed.
"Congratulations! You have obtained the 'Pirate (Absorbing Ability)' gene!"
