Chapter 102: The Dark Dog (Ch 102)

In the vast golden desert, a group of camels are lined up in a row, facing the wind and sun, slowly heading towards an unknown place.

Ding-ling-ling!!

Ding-ling-ling!!

As the camels moved forward, the bells on their necks kept ringing like wind chimes.

This sound, in this boundless desert, is crisp and pleasant, like a magnificent epic performance.

boom–!

A small sand dune in the distance, far in front of the left side of the camel caravan, was suddenly flattened by a bullet.

Yes, it was a bullet, but this bullet was a little special. It was not the dark metallic color, but a translucent color with a silver luster that was between reality and illusion.

Behind the camel caravan, A Luo stared with his eyes wide open. The red light in his eyes gradually faded, his face was flushed, and he was in a state of extreme excitement.

He put down his hand, looked down at the gun in front of him, the joy in his eyes almost overflowing.

Kota’s guess was correct. The gun in Luo’s hand was the one Kota picked up last night.

After a night of training, this gun that had eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit’s sausage form completely changed in A’lo’s hands.

The gun in A Luo’s hand at this moment no longer looked like the snotty, dull-looking dog.

Instead, it turned into a thin gun the size of a rifle, with the tip of the gun barrel shaped like a dog’s head, a ferocious dog’s head.

Although the gun became smaller in A Luo’s hand, the power of the bullet fired did not decrease. On the contrary, due to the drastic change in appearance, the bullet not only changed size, but also color. The lethality of this translucent bullet between reality and illusion not only did not weaken, but increased by more than one level.

“Fuck.”

Ah Hua put down the kettle in his hand, turned to look at Ah Luo, and pushed the frame of his glasses, “You guys, you’ve been playing for a long time, haven’t you had enough?”

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, stared at the gun in A Luo’s hand, and pursed his lips.

“Hahahahaha!!”

A Luo put away the gun in his hand, hung it on his waist, and glanced at Ah Hua. In the past, he would always fight back against Ah Hua’s words, no matter whether they were good or bad, but today…

He withdrew his gaze, took out the water bag from the cloth bag behind the camel with his right hand, tilted his head back and took a few sips, holding the gun handle with his left hand and never letting go, his eyes and heart were full of joy.

“Kalakalakal!!”

In front of A Luo, Indigo turned his head, looked at A Luo and smiled, “A Luo.”

“Um!”

Arlo raised his head and looked at Indigo, “What’s wrong, Doctor Indigo?”

“You haven’t named this gun yet!”

Indigo lowered his eyes to the gun on Arlo’s waist and said with a smile, “Aren’t you going to give it a name?”

“Name it?”

Arlo looked down at the gun, then raised his head, looked past Indigo, looked at Kota in the front, and shouted, “Kota.”

“Um!”

Kota was lying on the camel’s back, his body rising and falling with the camel. Without even turning his head, he asked loudly, “What’s wrong?”

“Does this gun have a name?”

The gun was given to him by Kota last night. He didn’t believe that such a magical gun was discovered by Kota by accident. It should have been found somewhere by Kota and Kuina when they were playing separately last night.

Well…it might have been stolen from that bad guy.

He didn’t care about all that, he just wanted to know if Sorata knew the name of the gun.

Kota raised his right hand, which was used to block the sun from his forehead, and stroked his chin as he thought about it.

He remembered that the gun had a name, but as for what the name was, no one knew!

In the anime, this guy is just a supporting role among supporting roles. If he wasn’t one of the only five creatures who ate the devil fruit and the first one to appear in One Piece, no one would remember him.

So Kota didn’t know this guy’s name.

He raised his right hand and waved it behind him.

“This gun is yours now and will always be your companion, so it doesn’t matter what its original name was.”

Kota took out the wine gourd with his left hand, popped open the cork with his thumb, raised it above his head, and placed the gourd mouth above his lips, tilting it. The transparent wine flowed down the gourd mouth and slowly flowed into Kota’s mouth through the air.

Gulp gulp gulp!!

The Adam’s apple moved and the wine flowed down the throat.

“Huh~”

Putting down the wine gourd, Kota exhaled a breath of alcohol and shouted loudly: “A Luo.”

“Um!”

“Choose a name for your partner!”

A Luo retracted his gaze, raised his right hand, took a sip of water, then covered the kettle with the lid and put it back into the cloth bag behind him. He lowered his head, looked at the gun in his left hand, and touched his chin in thought.

“What’s the name?”

“Gun Dog!”

At this moment, Ah Tao patted his camel and stepped forward, walking with Ah Luo. He tilted his head, looked at the gun in Ah Luo’s hand, stretched out his hand to hold the cigarette, blew out a smoke ring from his mouth, and said loudly: “How about the gun dog?”

“Didn’t your gun eat a dog-like fruit? It’s another gun, and a gun-dog is just right.”

Ah Tao nodded, looked up at Ah Luo, and said with a smile: “How about it? From your expression, you can’t think of any good name, so just use mine! I think it’s very suitable for the occasion!”

“Ha ha!!”

After Ah Tao finished speaking, she raised her hand, held the cigarette in her mouth, took a few deep puffs, and looked at Ah Luo with anticipation.

“What a good name that is!”

Before A’luo could answer, A’hua’s voice came from behind them. A’hua patted the camel on the back of its neck, walked quickly forward, and walked side by side with A’luo.

He glanced at A’Luo, then looked past A’Luo and looked at A’Tao, “If you ask me, this gun should be called a dog gun.”

As he said this, he retracted his gaze, puffed out his fat belly, made himself sit more comfortably, then looked at A Luo and said, “After all, it’s a gun that has eaten a devil fruit, so the devil fruit should be in front, don’t you think, A Luo?”

“Bullshit!”

A Tao put her hands down and started spraying at A Hua, letting the tobacco in her mouth flow out from the corners of her mouth.

“A gun is a gun. How can you put a devil fruit in front of it? Do you have any common sense?”

“Yes, yes, I don’t understand. You’re the only one who understands, right? Then let me ask you, which sounds better, a gun-dog or a dog-gun. Anyway, I think a dog-gun should sound better!”

“It sounds good, I think Gun Dog sounds the best.”

“Dog gun!”

“Gun Dog!”

“Dog gun!”

“…”

“Kalakalakalakalakal!!!”

Indigo laughed loudly, watching A Tao and A Hua talking to each other, completely unaware that he was the first person to speak in this topic.

“alright.”

A Luo put down his hands, raised his head and roared.

“Well!”

A Tao and A Hua looked at each other and turned their heads away at the same time, as if they were not going to quarrel at all. Then they took out the kettle, took a sip, turned to look at A Luo, and wanted to see what name A Luo could come up with.

A Luo stood up, raised the gun with his left hand, put the gun on his right shoulder, grasped the gun handle with his right hand, hooked the trigger with his index finger, and said firmly in a voice that gradually became louder and louder: “Since Kota gave me such a precious gun, then I must be worthy of this gun, so…”

He tilted his head and looked into the scope that was added to the back of the gun last night. A red light flashed in his eyes, and the armed color wrapped around the bullet in the barrel, and he exerted force with his index finger.

Bang——!

There was no fire or smoke. A translucent bullet with a black glow rushed out of the gun barrel, as if it had pierced through space, and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“ah……”

At this moment, a very shrill scream suddenly came from the direction where A Luo had just shot the bullet.

Then–

boom–!

The fire was blazing.

In the deep desert in front of the left, I saw a huge scorpion with only half of its body left. It was blown out of the desert by the sudden explosion. Along with the scorpion came a shock wave carrying sand.

Everyone put their hands in front of their foreheads, looked at the huge pit in the distance and the half of the scorpion that was still burning on the edge of the pit, and swallowed their saliva.

They knew that this thing was very powerful, but they didn’t expect that with the addition of Armament Haki, it would be so powerful.

“Is this thing a gun?”

What kind of bullet is that?

It’s just like a cannonball, and one with extremely strong penetrating power and speed.

“So cool!”

They had already imagined what this thing would look like in a naval battle.

This translucent bullet cannot be detected unless you have the ability to see.

One shot.

A boat.

A Luo ignored everyone’s surprise. He put down his gun, raised his head and laughed, “From now on, I will call you ‘Ghost Dog’! A ghost dog from the underworld that reaps lives.”

“Wang!”

“Hahahahaha!! You must be very happy too! It’s settled then.”

“Hahahahahaha…”

When A Luo heard the sound from the ghost dog, he lifted up the ghost dog and laughed continuously.

“A ghost dog?”

In front of the camel caravan, Kota was drinking, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile on his face.
