Chương 1886: Battle of the North Sea (32)

At the same moment, a startling change occurred in the Duke's hands.

His originally normal fingers began to grow longer in a strange way, becoming sharper and stronger.

This change was not gradual, but occurred at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the Duke's fingers had completely transformed into a pair of huge wings!

When the wings are spread out, their length reaches an astonishing two meters!

The feathers on the wings shine with colorful light under the sunlight, like a gorgeous painting.

Each feather appears so delicate, as if carefully carved by nature's most outstanding artist.

At the same time, the Duke's entire body was quietly undergoing tremendous changes.

His bones and muscles were undergoing subtle and complex adjustments to accommodate this new form.

His head also began to gradually deform, his beak became sharp and pointed, his eyes became sharper and brighter, and his entire face was very similar to that of a parrot.

As the beast transformation was finally completed, the Duke let out a high-pitched and crisp cry.

The sound was as clear and melodious as a bird's song, echoing in the castle for a long time, as if announcing his new identity to the world.

Just as the chirping sound was still echoing in the castle, a deep and teasing voice suddenly rang out without warning: "Oh? It's a parrot, the Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Parrot Form?"

The Duke looked up in astonishment, only to see a strange man who had appeared at the castle window and was looking at him with interest.

"Who?"

The Duke was startled by the sudden sound. He turned his head quickly and his eyes fell on the man sitting on the window.

"who are you?"

The Duke looked at the stranger in front of him with horror, his body involuntarily stepped back, and he stammered.

Since he had just turned into a parrot, his body's instinctive reaction was still in human mode, which caused him to completely lose his balance when he retreated, staggering like a drunk, and finally falling to the ground with his butt.

"It's a shame to let you eat up the ability to fly!"

Robert stood aside, looking at the miserable Duke, and shook his head regretfully.

He secretly regretted that if he could be faster, perhaps he could snatch the devil fruit before the Duke swallowed it.

After all, that devil fruit is an extremely precious treasure. Once eaten by someone, it will give them some special abilities.

This is undoubtedly a huge fortune for the Rockefeller Empire.

If Robert could successfully grab the devil fruit, he could bring it back to the kingdom and train a strong man with at least the combat power of a major general.

This will play a vital role in enhancing the strength of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

The Duke has eaten the devil fruit and has the ability to fly, and Robert can only watch this opportunity slip away from his hands.

With a clang, the Duke struggled to stand up on the ground, but since he could not fully control the parrot's body, this simple action was extremely difficult for him.

His wings flapped wildly, but not only did he fail to get up, but he also knocked the surrounding furniture all over the place, making a mess.

This sudden noise immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

They were originally patrolling around the Duke's Mansion, and upon hearing the noise, they rushed into the room without hesitation.

"Your Excellency the Duke, something bad has happened!"

With a cry of surprise, the door of the Duke's room was suddenly pushed open, and a guard who looked like a team leader rushed in with a terrified face.

His voice echoed in the room, tinged with despair: "Our guards on the city wall have been wiped out. Follow my subordinates and leave here!"

When his eyes fell on the man and the bird in the Duke's Mansion, he was suddenly stunned, and his original anxiety and fear were instantly replaced by astonishment.

"Who are you? And where is the Duke?"

There was a hint of doubt in the guard's voice; he obviously had not expected to see a stranger and a bird here.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and quickly glanced towards the window of the room. Sure enough, there sat a familiar face - it was the Duke they were looking for!

"It's you!"

The guard's face turned pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his legs could hardly support his weight and kept shaking.

Faced with this sudden change, the guards were completely at a loss. They stood there blankly, looking at the scene before them, as if they had lost the ability to think.

Robert turned a blind eye to all this. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly: "Interesting!"

As he said this, an invisible and colorless gas emanated from his body, like a soft smoke, quickly filling the entire room.

The gas had no smell and attracted no one's attention, but when it came into contact with people's nasal cavity, it produced amazing effects.

Anyone who smelled this odor felt as if all their strength was drained away, and they fell limply to the ground, unconscious.

One, two, three... In less than a few seconds, everyone in the room fell to the ground and lost consciousness as if they were under a spell.

But the gas did not stop there, it continued to spread in the room, seemingly without end.

Robert stood outside the city, and his keen perception allowed him to detect abnormalities inside the city.

He was surprised to find that there were guards in the city who were stubbornly resisting his army, and their resistance was so fierce that they actually succeeded in slowing down the advance of his army.

"It seems that these guards are buying time for your evacuation. They are truly loyal!"

Robert couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling a little admiration for the courage and loyalty of these guards.

In the next second, a powerful purple gas suddenly burst out from Robert's body.

This purple gas gushed out like a volcanic eruption, covering the entire castle in the blink of an eye.

The people in the castle, who were already in a panic, fainted on the ground as if their souls had been sucked out after inhaling the purple gas.

The purple gas did not stop spreading. It continued to expand in all directions like a greedy beast. Wherever it went, people were not spared and fell down one after another.

Soon, the purple gas spread to the place where the battle took place.
