Chapter 169: Awakening of the Sun God Nika (Ch 169)

Buggy the Clown turned pale and quickly knelt on the ground, his body trembling constantly. He begged for mercy with a terrified face, “Please spare my life! Captain Durant, I am willing to submit to you and become your most loyal subordinate. Please let me go.”

“Oh! Really? But your strength is not that good! How can I take you in?” Durant raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, and asked back jokingly.

Buggy the Clown’s kneeling legs kept shaking, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time. Cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead and sliding down his cheeks. At this moment, it was simply a nightmare for Buggy the Clown.

Only now did he realize how terrifying it was to face Durant. The strong sense of oppression was even stronger than that of the former Pirate King Roger. He couldn’t understand why a person’s strength could be so terrifying.

Bucky’s eyes widened, his heart filled with confusion and fear. He really couldn’t understand why Durant was so terrifying? It was like a being beyond human limits.

He felt that the Durant in front of him was no longer a normal person, but a real monster.

At this moment, the only thing Bucky could do was to beg for mercy temporarily, otherwise he would probably die here. He knew that his strength was far inferior to Durant’s, and there was no room for resistance.

Bucky was extremely anxious at this time, racking his brains to think about his own advantages. Finally, he had an idea and shouted loudly: “Captain Durant, I am good at making money and can bring you huge wealth.”

Bucky’s mind was in a mess at the moment. Apart from his ability to make money, he couldn’t think of any other advantages. He was filled with fear, fearing that Durant would suddenly kill him.

“Making money?” Durant crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes became colder, and his tone became ruthless: “Do you think you are better at making money than my subordinate Tezoro?”

When Bucky heard Durant’s words, he was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

After all, Durant was right, his ability to make money was indeed not comparable to that of Terzolo. This made Bucky feel desperate, as if all hope was shattered.

Durant didn’t waste any more words and directly used the ability of the Dark Dark Fruit to grab Buggy’s neck in his palm. Buggy instantly felt that his absorption became extremely difficult. He couldn’t even speak and could only kick his legs helplessly, but no matter how the clown Buggy struggled, it was of no avail.

Durant began to absorb the power of the Devil Fruit that could split Buggy into pieces. Half a minute later, Buggy, the clown who had lost his life, lay on the ground with his eyes rolled back and no longer breathing.

After killing Buggy the Clown, Durant did not stop his actions, but continued to look for other targets, especially those with devil fruit abilities.

He knew that these people’s abilities could make him stronger, so he decided not to miss any opportunity.

Soon, Durant met a woman named Alrita, who possessed the ability of the slippery fruit, which allowed her skin to become extremely smooth, thus avoiding attacks.

Alrita opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief. She never dreamed that such an insignificant person like her could catch the eye of this high and mighty figure.

This made her fall into deep doubt and confusion, and she wondered in her heart whether she should be happy or sad.

However, Alrita racked her brains and couldn’t figure out why a man of such noble status and prominent position as Durant would set his sights on an ordinary woman like her? And a woman of mediocre ability at that.

Could it be that Durant was attracted by her beauty? Thinking of this, Alrita’s heartbeat accelerated. If this was true, then perhaps she could consider obeying Durant.

After all, Durant is known as one of the strongest men in the world, and being able to follow such a powerful man is undoubtedly a supreme honor and benefit for her.

However, Durant broke Alrita’s fantasy with a cold and ruthless voice. He said coldly: “Put away your unrealistic idea.”

Hearing these words, Alrita’s body trembled violently, as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head. She looked at Durant in horror, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.

She finally realized that everything before was just her wishful thinking. Durant did not come because he admired her, but to take her life.

At this moment, Alrita’s heart sank to the bottom. She knew that she had no way to escape. Facing this cold-blooded and ruthless strong man, she could only pray silently, hoping that death would come quickly and end this nightmare experience.

Durant was like a ferocious cheetah. He raised his hand and tightly clasped Alrita’s head. There was no mercy in his eyes, as if he was treating a lamb to be slaughtered. He began to greedily absorb the magical superhuman ability of the slippery fruit in Alrita’s body.

Then, Durant used the power of the Floating Fruit to completely split the entire battlefield.

Because if the Red Hair Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross Guild were to unite, it would not be beneficial to the Death Pirates and Durant. Only by separating them one by one could Durant launch a hunting operation.

At this moment, the entire island began to shake violently. This abnormal situation aroused the vigilance of Red-haired Shanks and others. They realized that the situation seemed to be getting bad.

Originally, they had successfully suppressed the members of the Death Pirates, but now, this situation has been broken.

Time passed like the sand in an hourglass, minute by minute. An hour later, the scene before my eyes was like purgatory, horrible to watch.

In the entire Straw Hat Pirates, except for Straw Hat Luffy and two female members, Nami and Robin, everyone else was like harvested ears of wheat, and died at the hands of Durant.

The reason why two people are still alive is entirely because of Durant’s devilish habit. Otherwise, no one can escape the clutches of death.

At this moment, Straw Hat Luffy’s condition was like a candle in the wind. He seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had been pulled out of this world.

Durant walked towards Straw Hat Luffy with slow and heavy steps, like the god of death. When he arrived in front of Luffy, this guy was still in a trance like a puppet, without any reaction.

Durant didn’t hesitate, he raised his foot and kicked hard, kicking Straw Hat Luffy away like a cannonball.

Straw Hat Luffy drew an arc like a meteor in the air, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled for hundreds of meters before stopping like a broken rag doll.

At this moment, Straw Hat Luffy finally regained some consciousness like a lion waking up from his sleep.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with hatred burning like fire, stared at Durant, and shouted angrily: “I will never let you go, Durant!”

I saw Straw Hat Luffy’s whole body condition began to change constantly. His body began to become huge, his skin turned white, his hair turned into white curly hair, and white steam came out.

As Straw Hat Luffy changed, the ground around him began to become elastic like rubber.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen smiled and said, “Finally, you have awakened the ability of the Sun God Nika? Then let me see how powerful you are in this state!”

Although Straw Hat Luffy has transformed into Nika Sun God at this time, he is still no match for Durant. However, Durant is still full of curiosity and expectation about the Nika Sun God ability of the legendary Joyboy Savior, and wants to know how strong this ability is.

In fact, no matter how powerful the Devil Fruit is, it needs to be based on one’s own strength to exert its true power. Otherwise, even if one has a powerful ability, it cannot be fully displayed.

As for forcing Straw Hat Luffy to awaken the ability of Nika Sun God form, it was just that Durant wanted to see it! Otherwise, there is no need to go through so much trouble, just kill Straw Hat Luffy and extract the devil fruit ability.

Straw Hat Luffy, who transformed into Nika Sun God form, started laughing non-stop: “Hahaha~”

“Durant, I won’t let you go, hahaha~” Straw Hat Luffy laughed and his whole body bounced on the ground like a spring.

Durant still had his arms crossed over his chest, and was still unmoved by Straw Hat Luffy’s transformation into the Nika Sun God form, because the power of the Nika Sun God form was still not enough in front of Durant.

Straw Hat Luffy laughed and said, “Haha~ This feeling is really great. I feel like I can do a lot of things that I can’t do, including defeating you, Durant.”

“Haha! You are quite confident, Straw Hat Boy.” Durant responded with a smile on his face.

At this time, Straw Hat Luffy exudes a strong aura, his body becomes even bigger, his muscles are clearly defined, and he is full of strength. His hair turns into white flames, and his eyes flash with white light, as if he has really transformed into the sun god.

“Hmph! Let me show you my true strength!” Straw Hat Luffy shouted, his fist instantly grew several times larger, and smashed towards Durant with unparalleled power.

However, Durant dodged the attack with a simple move. He smiled and said, “Not bad, Straw Hat Boy, but this is far from enough.”

After saying that, Durant moved, appeared behind Straw Hat Luffy like a ghost, and kicked him in the back. Straw Hat Luffy was caught off guard, kicked away, and hit the wall heavily.

But Straw Hat Luffy did not give up, he quickly got up and attacked again, his speed and strength were greatly improved, and he started a fierce battle with Durant.

The two men exchanged blows, each collision causing a loud noise that shook the earth. The surrounding buildings collapsed one after another, and the ground was torn apart.

In this fierce battle, Straw Hat Luffy gradually adapted to the power of Nika Sun God form and exerted a stronger strength. However, Durant remained calm and responded to changes with the same attitude.

Finally, after a hard fight, Straw Hat Luffy finally found Durant’s weakness and punched him in the chest. Durant groaned and took a few steps back.

“Haha! See, I still have a chance to defeat you!” Straw Hat Luffy laughed proudly.

However, Durant shook his head and said, “Straw Hat Boy, your growth really surprised me, but it’s not enough to defeat me. Next, I want to let you know how big the gap between us is.”

As he spoke, Durant’s aura suddenly changed, and an even more terrifying pressure emanated from him. His eyes became extremely cold, as if he were a demon from hell.

Straw Hat Luffy activated the Nika Sun God form and used his powerful abilities to launch continuous attacks on Durant, but surprisingly, Durant was able to easily dodge all attacks.

At this moment, even the slow-reacting Straw Hat Luffy realized that Durant’s strength was far superior to his own. His face became solemn, and he thought to himself: “What happened? Why is Durant’s strength so unfathomable, as if there is no end? No matter how I try, I can never find out his true strength bottom line.”

Just as Straw Hat Luffy was thinking, Durant suddenly attacked and hit Straw Hat Luffy’s head with his elbow. However, Straw Hat Luffy’s head was like rubber, instantly removing most of Durant’s attack force.

Then, amid a cry of surprise, Straw Hat Luffy was knocked flying by Durant.

Durant did not launch a new round of attacks immediately. He looked at Straw Hat Luffy, a hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: “I see! It’s a pretty crazy ability.”

Although Straw Hat Luffy was a little embarrassed by the attack just now, he quickly stood up again, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, and laughed: “Hahahaha~~”

“You are so awesome! Durant, I thought I would be able to defeat you after I activated this form. It seems I thought too much. You are very strong, but I will definitely beat you.” His voice was full of confidence and determination.

Straw Hat Luffy took a deep breath and prepared to launch a new round of attack.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. The gas on Straw Hat Luffy’s body seemed to be deflated and began to dissipate rapidly, and his entire body began to age rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His skin became loose, wrinkles appeared on his cheeks, and his originally shiny black hair turned gray in an instant.

Durant frowned slightly when he saw this, and thought to himself, “Are the side effects coming out so soon? Your vitality is being severely depleted! If you use it for a long time in this state, how long can you live?”

Durant raised his legs and walked towards the aging Straw Hat Luffy lying on the ground, each step carrying a heavy sense of oppression. There was no expression on his face, as if everything was under control.
