Chapter 70 - Mary Claws

With Baccarat help.

He found Tanaka very quickly, this guy was hiding somewhere not far from them. Seems he's trying to find an opportunity to help Gild.

After catching him Gray walked back while dragging Tanaka.

"UGHH" Suddenly Gray felt pain and nausea as if something was coming out of his throat that made him feel he wants to vomit.

And in fact, he really wants to throw up.

Both Gild and Enel's shadows wills are refusing Gray and berserk inside him. Trying to break free and go back to their owner.

His dark shadow ability is not the same as Moria's shadow ability.

He can control the shadow with words. But the shadows he dominates must belong to weaker owners than himself.

Which means he overcomes the will of the Shadows themselves.

Usually, when Moria stole shadows, he wouldn't obtain the Devil Fruit powers of the original Shadow Owner. Only some memories and skills that the shadow owner possesses.

But his Dark Shadow is very different.

As we've seen before, he can really take on another person all the power including the strength of the fruit that is actually not part of the power of the Shadow Owner himself.

(Devil fruit is like a sword in hand)

Probably when the dark source merged with the shadow source, this ability changed and became more magical.

After all, the dark fruit can deprive the other fruits as well. So the unique dark nature most likely was combined with the shadow nature and made these changes.

But stealing and mixing shades is not a very easy task. Although he can mix shadows with himself and gain their strength. He still had to be powerful enough to suppress what came with the shadows.

Shadow will!

The shadow itself has its own will. Perhaps that is why Moria did not dare to merge the shade with himself indifferently.

Enel's and Gild's shadow was initially irresistible. But the more their abilities are used, the more motivated their wills are. And like that, they got more violent inside him.

If things stay like this, that will lead to damage to his spirit. And that's why he's feeling pain right now.

And the crown can't protect him because Gray himself who let the shadows enter his body. Not Spiritual invasion from the outside.

Gray noticed this when he first used Enel lightning to clear the cloud. And that's also one of the reasons he didn't continue the useless fight and ended everything fast.

"Gray, is there anything wrong?" Baccarat asked next to Gray anxiously.

Gray's face looks paler.

This is normal. After all, his body became a battlefield.

"We have to hurry" Gray didn't walk anymore and carried Baccarat in one hand and grasped Tanaka on the other hand and flew all the way to where he left the other.

...

After a couple of minutes, Gray came back and threw Tanaka beside Gild and Enel.

Then he put his two-finger on his mouth.

After a second. Two black orbs emitting black smoke like fire appeared on his fingers.

Looking at these two orbs, Gray threw them away as if he was throwing something dirty.

When Gray let go of them, automatically the orbs moved to Enel and Gild bodies. And so their shadows appeared again.

"*Sigh*" Gray sighed deeply, finally, his body felt relaxed.

Not only physically, but even mentally Gray felt relaxed. Only after removing the burden inside him will he truly understand how uncomfortable the feeling was.

With this, he also lost the powers the shadows gave him.

"Baccarat, strip their luck...." Gray asked Baccarat to take Enel and the others luck.

Baccarat walked to Enel and stole his luck.

"Huh?" After stealing Enel luck, Baccarat noticed something weird. But she didn't say anything and moved to the next target.

The next was Gild and Tanaka. Looking at them, complex emotions appeared on Baccarat eyes.

Gild was her boss, and Tanaka was her college. Even though she doesn't have much feeling with them, or can be said she's happy that she left their side. but it always doesn't feel right seeing them about to die like this.

But after thinking that's for Gray, these messy emotions disappeared and took Gild and Tanaka's luck.

Then Gray as usual extracted all the three of them.

Looking at these three new sources. Gray's heart became happy. Even though none of those abilities will be used for him. But it's not much different. His partner's power is his power.

"Weird....." On the side, Baccarat looked at Enel with weird eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at him like this?" Mary came to Baccarat side and asked with fishy eyes.

"Nothing, but this man luck is so huge" Seeing Mery's eyes, Baccarat knows that she's trying to make trouble again. So she answered honestly.

"Luck?" Hearing Baccarat words Gray paused and looked at Enel with hot eyes.

If his luck is better then...

"Baccarat give me some lucky" Gray asked Baccarat to fix his luck and wanted to use the last chance he has to extract today.

After the crown awaked for the fourth time, Gray found that he can extract four times, not three.

This confirmed his thought before. As he guessed every time the crown evolves he will have an extra chance to extract.

"*Extraction*" Gray put his hand on Enel again and extracted while thinking about a Luck attribute.

[Luck attribute]...

After extracting Enel for the second time. As Gray's wished. he really got luck attribute that he didnt finds for a very long time!

Come to think of it. Enel is really a lucky bastard. If it wasn't Luffy's Protagonist aura. Gray doesn't think Enel's future will be worst than Luffy.

"How is his luck now?" After extracting Enel luck attribute Gray asked Baccarat to chack his luck now.

"Weird... His luck quality became the same as the others" Hearing Baccarat words. Gray didn't feel much.

Just started to wonder, where will he find another golden tree...

...

With this, the Skypiea was ended.

Everyone on the Skypiea learned that it's Gray who saved them and was very thankful and respectful for Gray and his party.

Legolas still did what he said and helped the Shandians to get their island back. He didnt fight anyone but helped both Shandians and Skypieansto fix their relations.

As everyone saviors. Legolas' word was very effective and really managed to help them fix the stress between them.

Of course, Gray used the plot he knows and told Legolas about the Golden Bell.

So Legolas naturally use it and drummed the ball for them.

The sound of the Golden ball was the beautiful song that he so long wanted to ring for Noland.

With this sound, the Shandians duty to protect the island ended.

And like this, Skypieans and the Shandians finally did not fight and entered a new age of uniting.

For all this Gray didnt care, since Legolas want to help then let him do what he wants. This is not a bad thing anyway.

...

At this moment, Gray feels uneasy.

And this feeling is because of Mary who's sitting in front of him and giving him a cute cat smile.

Seeing this smile, Gray knows that she wants something. He hopes it won't be a very troublesome thing.

At the same time, he can guess what she want to ask for.

"Gray... you said that you can combine the attributes... right :3" Mary looked at Gray and asked with the nicest face she could make.

"*Sight*As I thought..." Hearing Mary's question. Gray confirmed his guess. This woman changed her mind after seeing the power of gold and lightning.

Well, that's better than asking for something he can't do, like always.

So greedy... But understandable. Gold and lightning are really strong together.

Gray who had both of them before understand better than anyone how strong they are together.

"So... you changed your mind? wasn't you the one who said one ability is enough?" Gray looked at Mary and said with a broad smile. As if he's saying; acting cute is not enough.

It's rare to see Mary acting so nice. So Gray felt playful right now.

"I changed my mind! I think your words were absolutely right, two combined abilities are better than one" Mary didn't hold back and said with a confident tone. But you can see that her smile is getting wider.

"So why * TEGG *" Gray wanted to make fun of her even more, but Mary suddenly put a picture on the table in front of him.

"This is...." Gray looked at the picture and a black line appeared under his eyes.

":3" Mary.....

":I" Gray....

"How many pictures you have?" After some silence, Gray asked.

"I wonder. :3" Mary said while looking around.

"Ok, you won" Gray destroyed the picture on his hand and said with a struggling smile.

But for those who know Gray, they can see how funny and angry his mood right now.

In fact, he was planning to give her both abilities from the start. After all, it's really a waste not to combine the lightning source and golden source together.

But... who knows she will actually threaten him with such a picture.

He can see, this picture was taken when he was on a coma before. And his face...

Since she wants to play like this. He will also do the same.

I'll give you what you want! No, I'll give you more, my lovely companion.

Seeing Gray's dangerous eyes, Mary felt some chill, but she didn't care much.

All she carries about now is how strong her ability will be after combining the fruit abilities.

...

...

"So you're leaving today. That's a shame, we didn't have the chance to thank you probably" Wyper and Gan fall was sitting on the same table with Legolas and said.

"No! Big sister Tauriel shouldn't leave" not far away from then a little girl was holding Tauriel refusing to let go.

"Aisa. You cant be so clingy like that, they also have their own way to go" Besides her another woman took Aisa and told her to calm down.

Tauriel looked at the little angel in front of her and smiled not knowing what to say.

This talented girl is really lovely. Somehow you can't afford to leave it here.

Aisa, the second strongest Observation Haki user on this island.

Aisa was born with the ability to use Observation Haki, known in Skypiea as "Mantra", which gave her a sixth sense of the world around her. She can sense when people die as well as the feelings of others.

She can even tell where Enel is, despite him traveling at lightning speed.

Her Haki will not lose even for Legolas. Such talent is really admirable.

"*RUMBLE*"!!!!

Suddenly in the sky, a strong lightning sound resounded around!

Hearing the lightning sound, everyone was terrified. Some even thought that Enel has come back.

"It's sister Mary" Aisa looked at Mary's direction and said with a surprised face.

As for Tauriel and the others. They already know that Mary went to Gray for this. So they weren't so surprised.

It's just.....

"*RUMBLE!!!!!*"
