Starting with Hawkeye template, from Pirates to Demon Slayer Chapter 041

As everyone marveled at Bepo’s ability, a surprised voice came from Maya’s side.

“Lin Lei, my ability seems to have evolved!”

“Ability evolution? You’ve developed a new ability?”

Lin Lei turned his head to look at Maya in surprise.

Law and Vivi also looked over with immense curiosity.

“Mmm~ something like that.”

Seeing everyone’s gazes, Maya pursed her lips into a smile and looked at Lin Lei, saying,

“I’ve been developing it according to the path you gave me recently, and it seems to be showing some results now. However, the effect seems to be much stronger than the expressive power you mentioned.”

“Oh? Then I’ll look forward to it.”

Lin Lei and the others showed interest.

Maya pointed to a box containing empty wine bottles about a dozen meters behind them and said,

“Now, look at that box.”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction Maya indicated.

“Spatial Distortion!”

As Maya let out a soft cry, they saw the space around the box of empty wine bottles, a dozen meters away, begin to twist and spin.

From the center of the box, it seemed as if a vortex had formed.

In just a few seconds, the box containing the empty wine bottles “bang” exploded under the twisting, rotating space, shattering into countless wood splinters and glass shards scattered across the ground!

“Eh!?”

“How amazing, Sister Maya didn’t seem to do anything, did she?”

“It feels a bit like Law’s ability?”

“It’s different. My ability has spatial distance limitations. I just don’t know if Maya’s ability has that.”

Everyone was looking at Maya with great surprise.

Lin Lei looked at Maya and thoughtfully said,

“Maya, your ability is to distort space, so it has nothing to do with what the physical object is?”

“It should be that way.”

Maya nodded and smiled,

“But we can try it, hehe.”

As she spoke, she pointed her slender finger at the castle wall in front:

“Let’s try this wall again.”

Buzz!

The next second, as Maya’s beautiful eyes narrowed, the space around the castle wall, over twenty meters away, also began to twist.

Just like the box of empty wine bottles before, a vortex about one to two meters in diameter appeared on the white brick wall.

The space seemed to wrinkle, rotating like a whirlpool.

Bang!

Whoosh!

When the castle wall’s space twisted to its extreme, a sudden shattering sound rang out. A section of the castle brick wall, over a meter in diameter and twenty meters behind them, directly shattered, turning into countless broken stones scattered on the ground.

Hiss!!!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

“Maya, your ability is so powerful!”

Vivi looked envious.

She hadn’t expected this Devil Fruit from her royal treasury to have such an effect.

If Maya was previously a walking storage space and spatial portal, now this storage space and portal had gained offensive capabilities!

Moreover, this offensive ability was so bizarre.

It was silent; how could an ordinary person react to it!

It was simply an essential ability for home travel, murder, and extermination!

Fortunately, she hadn’t given this fruit to Baroque Works; otherwise, that would have been disastrous.

As for Maya eating her Devil Fruit, she didn’t mind.

Although she felt a little envious of such an ability, since it was Lin Lei’s decision, her savior, she naturally agreed.

“And that’s not all.”

Maya somewhat proudly put her hands on her hips and looked at Vivi and the others, saying,

“I can feel that the range of the alternate dimension I’m connected to has also become larger! Do you all want to go in and take a look?”

“Eh? Can we?”

Vivi’s eyes lit up, and Penguin and Shachi immediately raised their hands.

“Of course.”

As Maya spoke, she raised her hand and waved it. Then, with a spatial fluctuation, three spatial doors appeared behind them.

Lin Lei and Law could also see the scene behind the spatial doors.

It was precisely the supplies, as well as some Berries and gold, that their pirate crew had collected from this snowy castle.

“Huh? Can we now directly see the inside of the space?”

Lin Lei also showed a surprised expression.

“Yes.”

Maya giggled and said,

“As long as I want, I can let you see it directly. If there are outsiders, then they won’t be able to see it.”

As she spoke, Maya’s thoughts moved, and a mosaic-like film appeared on the spatial door, which was originally transparent, directly blocking the view inside.

“What a magical ability!”

Chopper exclaimed in amazement.

Vivi, Shachi, and Penguin raised their hands and poked the mosaic-like film. When they found that their hands could pass through it, they immediately became bolder, and the three of them walked directly inside.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked out of Maya’s space.

“How was it? How was it?”

Bepo, lying on the ground, couldn’t help but ask.

Vivi looked at Maya with a mystical expression and said,

“I feel like the space inside is at least more than ten times larger, right?”

Penguin pinched his chin and pondered,

“I think the length, width, and height inside are all over forty meters. It’s really hard to accurately estimate how much, since the surrounding walls are all dark space.”

Seeing everyone’s curious gazes, Maya chuckled:

“Penguin’s estimation is pretty close. The length, width, and height of that alternate dimension have now reached fifty meters. Now, even putting the Polar Tang inside would be no problem at all.”

Hiss!!!

Everyone gasped again.

Law looked at Penguin and chuckled,

“Now we won’t have to leave Penguin to guard the ship anymore. What a convenient ability.”

“Oh, right!” Penguin’s eyes immediately lit up.

This truly became a Kamui!

And one that didn’t consume pupil power!

Lin Lei showed a strange smile.

The abilities developed from this Devil Fruit were truly interesting.

With this evolution of Maya’s ability, her strength could be said to have greatly increased!

It was the biggest surprise among the gains from everyone’s training this past week.

With her ability, their actions in Alabasta would become much more convenient.

After the celebratory banquet ended, Lin Lei and the others bid farewell to Chopper, Kureha, and Dalton, and left Drum Kingdom.

Two days later.

In a wild harbor in Nanohana, a port city in Alabasta.

“This isn’t some wild harbor, you know.”

Vivi rolled her eyes at Bepo in annoyance and said,

“This is a secret port that our Alabasta royal family secretly built.”

“Ah? Is that so? I’m truly sorry.”

Bepo immediately bowed in apology.

“Hehe.”

Taking advantage of Bepo’s bowed posture, Vivi smiled and raised her hand to rub Bepo’s fluffy ears. It was clear this was her true intention.

Now thirteen years old, Vivi, who hadn’t experienced the two years of hardship in Baroque Works, still had a playful and cute side.

Everyone couldn’t help but smile knowingly at this.

Buzz!

At this moment, everyone felt a spatial fluctuation, and then they were all drawn to the magical scene before their eyes.

Maya raised her hand and pressed it onto the thirty-meter-long Polar Tang. Subsequently, the surrounding space rippled like water, and then these rippling spaces enveloped the Polar Tang, encasing it.

In less than a few seconds, the massive Polar Tang completely vanished before everyone’s eyes.

Although they had witnessed Maya’s ability before, seeing it again still felt incredibly magical.

“Hmm?”

Just as everyone was captivated by Maya’s ability, Lin Lei frowned. The red glow of Observation Haki flickered in his eyes, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

His sudden disappearance immediately caught Law’s attention.

The others also quickly reacted.

Swish!

When Lin Lei reappeared, he was holding a brawny man, two to three meters tall, with two cannon barrels on his back.

Bang!

After casually throwing him to the ground, under the man’s terrified gaze, Lin Lei slowly spoke:

“Who are you?”
