Above Pirate King - Chapter 97

In front of him were a pair of holy and magnificent white wings.

These were not the angel wings that the Skypiea people had, which could only be looked at but not used. These were actual angel wings that could fly, with considerable attack power. After wearing them, he would be even more “Skypiea” than the Skypiea people!

Looking at these wings, Arthur immediately imagined how cool he would look with them. And with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Rumble-Rumble Fruit) ability!

Flying in the sky, a thunder angel accompanied by lightning!

This image appeared in his mind in an instant!

However, Arthur knew that this thing was a Teigu. Like any Teigu, it required a specific wavelength to be used, just like a key and a lock. Only a matching key could open the lock.

Arthur gently touched the wings in front of him, but he didn’t feel any special wavelength or a sense of compatibility.

“It seems that I can only rely on the system to see if it’s powerful enough for me to wear it!” Arthur laughed helplessly.

Luckily, the system was indeed powerful.

[Thousand-Mile Flight: Mastema, Mastema]

[Introduction: Wing-shaped Teigu that allows the user to fly. Feathers can shoot down enemies. Secret technique: “Divine Wings”. Can bounce back opponents’ flying props. (The host doesn’t need to match the wavelength, uses blood as a contract to use, and turns the wings into a part of the body, but only one owner can be recognized)]

After seeing the introduction, Arthur frowned slightly. It meant that if he became the owner by using his blood, although he wouldn’t need a specific wavelength to use it, he would be bound to it from then on.

You see, there were still many special Teigus, some even made him jealous. If he could only use this one in the future, it would be a shame!

But then he thought, this was obtained through a one-million poitns draw. Who knew if he would be able to draw a Teigu next time?

Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to use it himself, but surely he could find someone in the kingdom who matched the wavelength, right?

By then, giving it to them to use would also enhance the kingdom’s power!

In the end, he didn’t hesitate and directly squeezed out a drop of blood, dripping it onto the wings.

The wings instantly turned into a beam of light and directly merged into Arthur’s back.

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable itchiness behind him, as if something wanted to break free.

“Hiss!”

With the sound of tearing fabric, a pair of wings suddenly spread open behind him.

Just like the previous shadow, he felt that the wings were an extension of his body.

Arthur excitedly looked at the wings behind him and touched them.

Well, it felt just like touching his own hands!

“Huff, huff!”

He gently flapped the wings twice, creating a breeze in the room.

Although he really wanted to take a flight in the sky right now, he decided to finish the last thing first!

Now, he had basically finished looking at all the items from the lottery, except for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that he hadn’t eaten yet.

Without hesitation, Arthur took out the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the box and took a bite.

“Ugh—”

A strong, nauseating, and stimulating taste rushed to his nose, causing an immediate wave of intense nausea. But he was mentally prepared for this, so he covered his mouth with his hand and forcefully swallowed it.

After a while, when he felt a bit better, he released his hand.

“Ugh… puh, puh, puh!”

As soon as he let go, the feeling of nausea returned, followed by a bout of retching and a frenzy of saliva-spitting.

Fortunately, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had already been swallowed and didn’t come back up.

“Crackle, crackle!”

Small electric sparks involuntarily appeared on Arthur’s body.

He extended his hand and saw lightning continuously jumping in his palm.

“Boom!”

He felt like a master of thunder as he directly split the table in front of him with a movement of his mind.

The maid outside the door heard the commotion inside and immediately knocked on the door.

“Knock, knock!”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

“What happened, Your Majesty?”

…

The maid outside anxiously called out but didn’t dare to come in, so she continued knocking on the door.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Arthur shouted.

“Phew… That’s good!” The maid outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Arthur, inside the room, looked at the various snack boxes and the broken table around him.

“Never mind, let’s go to the training ground!” Arthur muttered.

Although he was eager to test the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and its lightning abilities, he couldn’t fully unleash them in the study and couldn’t experiment to his heart’s content.

He opened the door to the study and walked out.

“Your Majesty!”

The maid waiting at the door bowed and respectfully spoke.

Then, her body froze for a moment, her eyes widened, and her mouth slightly opened, displaying an expression of disbelief.

Uh…

After seeing her expression, Arthur followed her gaze and also noticed the problem.

If he were to go out like this directly, it would likely attract attention!

Although he wasn’t afraid, it would be troublesome!

So, with a thought, his wings retracted into his back.

However, after the wings retracted, the tattered clothes on his back no longer covered them.

“It seems that in the future, I either won’t wear a shirt or need specially tailored clothes!” Arthur chuckled bitterly.

This Mastema really did a number on clothes!

Looking at the maid still in a daze, Arthur lightly patted her shoulder.

“Your Majesty!” The maid trembled, finally coming back to her senses.

“Wait, go and have someone tidy up the things inside, and also find two people to take care of the fish in the fish tank!” Arthur instructed.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The maid nodded respectfully.

Afterward, Arthur changed into a new set of clothes and went alone to the training ground outside the city.

“Hoo, hoo!”

Arthur flapped his wings, and with a gust of wind, his feet slowly left the ground.

For an ordinary person, at this point, they would usually take some time to adapt to the wings before freely flying.

But was Arthur an ordinary person?

No!

So, with a beat of his wings, he soared into the sky.

“Swish, swish!”

The biting cold wind kept blowing against Arthur’s face, but he felt the joy of flying.

This feeling of flying was different from using Moonwalk to ascend to the sky!

When using Moonwalk, he had to constantly step on the air, resulting in a jerky movement. But with wings, he could freely soar and fly smoothly.

However, his flying posture was not very elegant because he was not yet proficient. He flew with his head facing downwards.

Fortunately, the wings were as easy to manipulate as his original arms, and in no time, he was freely soaring through the air.

After flying freely in the sky for an hour, Arthur finally stopped, not wanting to stop yet.

“This is amazing!” Arthur exclaimed excitedly. “Next, it’s time for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!”

Arthur had already set his direction for the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

On one hand, he would use its power aggressively, using strong electrical currents like 100,000 volts to overpower his opponents.

On the other hand, he would use precise control, like a Railgun, to exert maximum power with minimal electrical output.

However, before that, he needed to fuse his Observation Haki with the Devil Fruit.
