Chapter 469: Vicious Drug

Chapter 469: Vicious Drug

Garling's body suddenly gets a little bigger as his muscles bulge. His wrinkled skin is getting tighter too and his veins are popping out. Then his white hair and wings are turning red along with his eyes and skin as if he is going berserk. Though the thing that shocks Cricket the most is the small tent that suddenly shows up on Garling's crotch.

"Holy crap! What kind of drug is that, dude? Why are you suddenly getting horny? I'll tell you now that I'm straight, so I won't help you with it. I have a wife already."

Garling doesn't answer and just stares at Cricket with his bloodshot eyes. Steams come out of his mouth and body as if he is Luffy in Gear 2nd. Cricket is actually a little scared right now. He won't mind if Garling just gets a power-up. But the old man is actually getting horny, seeing how his crotch bulges.

"That must be a drug from Vegapunk."

Cricket is right, Garling injected a drug created by Vegapunk that can raise one's strength temporarily. Obviously, such a thing will have side effects and one of them is visible right now, the hardened ding-a-ling. But the main side effect is the user will get greatly weakened after the drug's effect is up.

Though Cricket doesn't know that and can't be bothered by that now because it doesn't change the fact that Garling is getting much stronger. Also, a drug made by Vegapunk won't be ordinary. At least its time limit won't be so short and it will last for minutes.

Cricket doesn't know how much stronger Garling has become, so he needs to be careful. It will be a disaster if he can't defeat or at least hold on against this Garling on crack until the old man reaches his time limit. But just holding on isn't his style, so Cricket plans to defeat Garling even though the old man is using dopping.

He is ready to fight, but Garling's new power really surprises him. Garling's speed increases so much that Cricket can't catch up to it. Before he realizes it, Garling has already arrived in front of him.

Garling slashes his sword diagonally from above and Cricket can't evade it. The sword slashes Cricket's body and the powerful force sends him fly down to the ground. Cricket crashes onto the red ground and the powerful impact cracks it until a crater appears.

But Garling isn't done yet. He points his left palm at Cricket who lies on the ground with a diagonal wound on his torso. The wound is long, but it's not deep because Cricket's dragon scales are very tough and he also managed to use his haki in the nick of time, thanks to his beast-like instincts and reflex.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

He composes himself quickly and sees Garling's left palm glows brightly. Then suddenly, a white light beam is shot towards him from Garling's left palm. It's very fast and reaches his position in the blink of an eye.

A great explosion happens in Cricket's location when the white beam hits. But Garling doesn't look at it and stares forward instead. Cricket has managed to evade his attack, after all. He jumps to the sky as fast as possible using his strong legs and even his tail to propel him up at a very high speed to dodge the white beam.

Still, Cricket can't be relieved yet because Garling makes a move again. He instantly appears right in front of Cricket again and now he tries to stab Cricket. However, now Cricket is ready as he uses all his concentration on his Observation Haki to catch Garling's movements.

With his powerful Observation Haki and the instinct of a beast, Cricket manages to barely see Garling's movements. He catches Garling's sword that's about to stab his chest. Then he sends a backhand punch at Garling's face while pulling the sword.

That's why 1 dose should be the limit to avoid unknown risks. But the Chief decides to gamble his chance by taking 2 doses of the drug to make himself much stronger. His power gap with Enel is big, so he knows just 1 dose isn't enough.

After taking 2 doses, the Chief's body bulks up visibly. Just like Garling, his skin and eyes become red as steam comes out of his body. The steam is red though because it's mixed with the blood that comes out of his pores.

Maybe the blood comes out of his pores because he uses 2 doses of the drug because this doesn't happen to Garling and the others who only use 1 dose. But his power really increases much more than if he used 1 dose. His blonde hair raises like a Super Saiyan and his ding-a-ling also erects like a tower.

Enel's reaction is similar to Cricket. Well, everyone from Clown Pirates has similar reactions, including Buggy who notices that something is happening in the other battles and checks it out. Their jaws drop as their eyes pop out in disbelief seeing their opponents' outrageous changes.

The men cover their butts in fear reflexively while the women are very disgusted. Even as pirates, they rarely disrespect their enemies, but these horny guys deserve every bit of disrespect the Clown Pirates have. It's especially so for the God's Knights who are parts of World Nobles.

"It seems this drug also increases their libido along with other hormones that can raise their power. Vegapunk, what a mischievous man."

Ruff recovers from his shock quickly and makes an assumption. He knows that someone as smart as Vegapunk can avoid this effect when making this drug. But the man decided to include it to maximize the power-up effect.

"Damn, he is really ruthless."
