One Piece : Roger Is My Vice Captain

Chapter 225: Chapter 263 - Why didn't Zephyr step back?



The hazy pink flames gradually spread on the huge body of Big Mom and then became grand. 

In the endless interlacing of light and shadow, the faintly visible body was gradually shrinking. 

"Ahhh!!!"

"Damn!!"

"What did you do to me?" 

The painful voice came out from the pink flame, revealing unspeakable hatred. 

"What exactly is this retrogressive fruit? It seems to be very strong." 

Roger's figure appeared beside Liu Feng and sometimes he grabbed Prometheus, who was lying on his head and biting his ears and said with great interest. 

Liu Feng looked at Ain, who was breathing slightly with a smile on his face. 

After using the fruit ability several times in a row, she was already dripping with sweat, her long blue wavy hair was sticking to her cheeks, her pale face was flushed red, and she had a shocking beauty. 

"Ain, are you alright?" 

Ain was stunned for a moment, then put a smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "Report to Inspector Liu Feng; I'm fine; I'm just a little overstretched... I will be fine after a while." 

Liu Feng nodded. 

This little girl's character was exactly the same as Zephyr's stubbornness. People who don't know them may think she is Zephyr's daughter. 

However, Zephyr did take care of Ain, just like taking care of his own daughter. 

"It's the Modo Modo no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to produce an energy orb that makes anyone or anything it touches 12 years younger." 

Only then did Liu Feng slowly explain to Roger, "Have you seen that peach-colored flame? The age of the thing touched by the flame will go back 12 years, and the age of the person who has been touched will also go back 12 years, many times and may make it disappear." 

"This ability is also effective for things other than living things and can bring it back to the state it was 12 years ago." 

Roger shrank his head when he heard the words and took a deep breath. 

"This devil fruit is so strong." 

"So why doesn't Ain apply that to that bastard Zephyr? He would be young again."

Roger was only 53 years old when he was executed. Since he was resurrected by Liu Feng, the terminal illness and hidden illness in his body have completely disappeared, and his body has gradually recovered towards the peak period. 

But Zephyr was different. 

Even if he was resurrected by Liu Feng and his hidden illnesses were eliminated, his age was still there. 

Zephyr was 74 when he died in battle. 

If Ain's ability was really powerful, then she could use it on Zephyr to restore Zephyr to the level of combat power he had when Zephyr was young. 

Maybe even his severed hand will be restored!!

At this time, Ain said bitterly, "Admiral Roger, this matter is very important. In fact, I have also discussed with Teacher Zephyr." 

"But we all agree that this risk is too great. Even if I am an ability person, I can't control my Devil Fruit ability very often." 

"But it doesn't make sense; such a good ability; even if there is a risk, it is better than being beten when being old," Roger said, nodding as though he didn't understand.

Roger is similar to Luffy in a way—a genius at fighting. 

He was only 53 years old when he died, but he was terminally ill at the time. 

Logically speaking, with his strong physique and only 53 years of age, it was impossible for him to have a terminal illness at all. 

You see, Garp and Sengoku are now in their 70s and they are still alive and kicking. 

His terminal illness was very likely to be exhausted due to excessive overdraft of domineering Haki and physical strength. 

The current Luffy also has the same problem; his life expectancy is not as good as before. 

However, in Roger's view, it was worth it. 

You can improve your strength, protect your crew and partners, and realize your dreams. Even if your lifespan is shortened, you will not have the slightest hesitation and regret. 

But Zephyr didn't do that. 

However, Liu Feng keenly heard another layer of meaning from Ain's words. 

She said the risk was too great, not impossible. 

Logically speaking, Zephyr probably knew very well how bad his physical condition was back then. 

In comparison, the side effects and risks of regressing devil fruit's ability were probably not the most important reasons. 

"No need to guess." 

At this moment, a calm and powerful voice came from behind. 

Ain was shocked and immediately turned around to give a military salute and said solemnly, "Teacher Zephyr!!" 

Zephyr strode over; he looked at the person who was bathed in pink flames and frowned tightly. "You bastards, what are you doing again?" 

Liu Feng smiled and said, "The golden lion is young again; just let him vent; it's not easy for this guy." 

Zephyr glanced at Liu Feng, his pupils contracted slightly, and said in surprise, "Your strength." 

Liu Feng nodded and said with a smile, "So, why didn't you let Ain use the Devil Fruit ability on you all these years?" 

"If you can restore the power of your heyday, even if there is a risk, you would not refuse it."
