Chapter 121 Pure gold jewelry! Malice perception!

Chapter 121 Pure gold jewelry! Malice perception!
Moreover, Metal Knight had sent war mechas to cause trouble for him, so how could he still give him money as compensation? I guess it was not these high-ranking officials of the association who acted on their own initiative.

"Eh? Then... can this matter be ended here?"

William asked cautiously. At a time when his own industry was hit hard, he was definitely the top executive who least wanted the Hero Association to have internal strife or even the death of an S-class hero.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Borsalino answered very sincerely.

Now it’s not a question of him looking for trouble with Metal Knight, but that Metal Knight is about to come to him.

Of course, the more crucial thing is that Borsalino has his eyes on Metal Knight's war mecha and the large amount of weapons and equipment stored in the underground base.

Borsalino, who has always been "thrifty", couldn't bear to see so many good things buried deep underground, so he decided to move the opponent's lair back to the pirate world after killing Metal Knight.

After saying this, without waiting for William to explain, he once again cut off communication with the other party.

Seeing this scene, the members of the Fubuki team, including Lily, were a little nervous. William was a high-ranking official in the Hero Association, but Lord Borsalino kept hanging up on him.

Moreover, Lord Borsalino is also going to turn against Metal Knight, the most mysterious S-class hero of the Hero Association.

"Should we ask those scum to move away? Metal Knight's weapons are quite destructive. If we're not careful, this place might be destroyed."

However, Tornado doesn't take Metal Knight seriously. Her ability is most effective against opponents like Metal Knight who rely on weapons and equipment.

Even if Metal Knight brought an entire army of robots, in front of her with their god-like super powers, they were just a pile of scrap metal.

However, she herself did not care, but she had to be considerate of others. Apart from the small heroes who came to participate in the training camp, the members of Fubuki's "B-level fan club" were present. She could not just watch them get wiped out in the aftermath of the battle.

"No need, it's just a small toy. I can handle such a small scene."

Borsalino replied lazily.

Tornado didn't care too much about this. After all, she didn't think Metal Knight would be a match for Borsalino.

"Someone seems to be looking for you over there, Borsalino."

Fubuki, who was standing nearby, suddenly poked Borsalino's back through the beach chair. Although she didn't say which side, Borsalino already reacted.

"Well, I see."

Borsalino responded, then closed his eyes and entered the dimensional chat group.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: @Borusalino Yellow Monkey, come out and see, the pure gold imitation is successful! ]

[Borusalino: Hmm? Can you make pure gold now? ]

[Grayfield Ai: Don't listen to stupid dog's nonsense. We haven't succeeded yet. We have only preliminarily analyzed the structure of pure gold and created pure gold on a purely physical level.]

[Grayhara Ai: This imitation only has the same appearance and structure as pure gold, and it can't even be considered real pure gold.]

[Tony Stark: Oh, this is a real headache. The good news is that we have created pure gold. The bad news is that the pure gold we have created does not give you immortality.]

[Orochimaru: Unfortunately, the secret of pure gold has not yet been revealed. I guess they must have been processed in some special way, perhaps with some secret technique or something else, to achieve the effect of immortality.]

[Borusalino: Tsk, just because they look the same doesn't fool people, those old guys are not fools.]

[Kobayashi: Well, am I the only one who thinks pure gold would be beautiful when made into jewelry?]

[Grayhara Ai: ??? You must be a fake, give us the real Xiaolin back! ]

[Fubuki: Kobayashi, when did you become interested in girls' things...]

[Kobayashi: That’s too much! I’m a girl too! It’s really rude of you to say that!]

[Fubuki: A girl who likes drinking and maids...]

[Grayhara Ai: There are girls who stay up all night writing code...]

[Xiao Lin: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I just thought Thor would like shiny things, so I wanted to buy a piece of pure gold that has no effect for her! ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: I’m so jealous. I also want a dragon maid...]

[Grayhara Ai: I envy you the same way...]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: What are you envious of, you venomous girl? Can't you just wear a maid outfit and be done with it? ]

[Grayhara Ai: Get lost! ]

[Tony Stark: If you can't live forever, then you don't have much practical value. The cost of imitating pure gold is more than $700,000 per gram, so even if you make it into jewelry, it's hard to find a market.]

[Xiao Lin: It's so expensive... Can I pay with Dimension Coins? ]

[Tony Stark: Of course, but are you sure? It seems that this thing only looks like pure gold, but it has no real effect.]

[Kobayashi: Well, Thor will probably like it. Anyway, I won't be in any danger, and there's not much use for keeping the Dimension Coins...]

[Tony Stark: Okay, I'll make some jewelry for you. Do you want a ring or a necklace? ]

[Kobayashi: A necklace, but a ring would seem weird...]

[Borsalino: Well, then make me a few rings inlaid with pure gold. I'll let me think... twenty first.]

[Fubuki: ...Twenty?!]

[Borsalino: Well, don't worry, you and Tornado both have a share...]

[Fubuki: Shameless...]

[Esdeath: Honey, I want one too! ]

【Borusalino: Don’t worry, everyone will get a share. 】

[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: The Five Elders may not know how to use pure gold, right? Do you think it is possible to wrap the Philosopher's Stone with fake pure gold and pretend it is real?]

[Hermione Granger: How is that possible? The Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed. Apart from Nick Mellor, the maker, there is no one else in the world who knows how to use the Philosopher's Stone.]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: This depends on the ability of the big guys. Anyway, Nick Mellor is not dead yet, right? Isn't it enough to find out how to make the Philosopher's Stone? ]

[Hermione Granger: Nick Mellor is a good friend of Dumbledore, even the You-Know-Who can't find him! ]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: Just because Voldemort can't do it doesn't mean that Kizaru can't do it either. If the boss is willing to help, even if Merlin is resurrected, he will be trash. ]

[Hermione Granger: I don't agree! Absolutely not! I won't let you mess around in my world! ]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: I'm just looking for the method to make the Philosopher's Stone. How can this be called reckless? Do you think it's a good thing that the method to make the Philosopher's Stone has been lost forever? ]

[Orochimaru: Haha, if Borsalino-kun is inconvenient, I would be happy to go there myself. ]

[Tony Stark: Oh, the world of magic is indeed very curious, but Mr. Stark's new suit is not yet completed. It seems that I will miss this opportunity...]

[Borsalino: Don't worry, we still have time to take it slow. If there is really no other way, we can consider using the Philosopher's Stone to get away with it.]

[Fubuki: It's almost time, don't you want to go out and get ready? ]

[Borsalino: So fast? Tony, I'll pick up a mecha later and I'll lend it to you for research.]

[Tony Stark: Mecha? Can it be better than my Iron Man suit? ]

[Borsalino: It should be possible. After all, it is Metal Knight's trump card, so I think it can't be too bad...]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Holy shit, Kizaru has already found Metal Knight? That fast! ]

[Borsalino: Well, my observation Haki seems to have undergone further changes. As long as the hostility towards me reaches a certain level, I can lock onto the other party's location and even "see" their every move.]

[Borsalino: The specific limit distance is still uncertain. What can be confirmed at present is that the radius within 900 kilometers is within my malicious perception range.]

[Orochimaru: What an incredible ability... I guess I need to exchange for a training method of Observation Haki to study it.]

[Esdeath: Malice perception? That sounds interesting. I'll try my best to see if my observation Haki can awaken a similar ability.]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Wow... so awesome! Wow, I haven't even learned the Armament Haki yet...]

[Borusalino: Let’s not talk about this for now. I’m going to go pick up Metal Knight’s mecha first.]

Just as Borsalino ended the conversation in the chat group, the war mechas sent by Metal Knight also arrived at the outskirts of City B, more than ten kilometers away from Borsalino's training ground.

"Status scan in progress... Damage level 0%, energy reserve 96%, energy shield system intact, main weapon..."

"Scanning the environment... Eliminating dangerous factors, starting to formulate a combat plan... Triggering the pre-project, Unit 1 begins action!"

The war mecha covered in a layer of dark green camouflage was hidden in the woods, and its round head was constantly issuing and receiving new instructions.

Under the command of the war mecha, a semi-mechanical cyborg who had been prepared long ago appeared in the city center of City B and began to wreak havoc on the surrounding buildings.

At the same time, Flash, who was in training, suddenly received an order from the Hero Association, asking him to rush to the city center to eliminate the runaway cyborg.

Although compared to a "good boy" like Genos, Flash Flash is not very keen on defeating monsters, but as a hero, he cannot just watch cyborgs attack civilians.

What made him a little strange was that among so many heroes present, he was the only one who received an order from the Hero Association.

However, before he could figure it out, the Hero Association sent another order urging action.

In desperation, Flash had to take the initiative to find Borsalino and ask for leave to eliminate the cyborgs in the city center.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain? You are being a little more cautious than I thought... Go ahead, and remember to come back for training soon."

Borsalino said something that Flash Flash couldn't understand, and readily agreed to his request for leave.

At this time, Flash Flash also realized something. He frowned and wanted to say something.

But when he thought of Borsalino's strength and the trembling tornado sitting next to Borsalino, he swallowed the words back.

If these two 'monsters' get together, even the No. 1 S-class blaster would probably be beaten into submission by them, so there's nothing to worry about at all.

"Tsk, it's almost here, so is it my turn next?"

Tornado floated up from the beach chair, crossed her arms and waited to see what tricks Metal Knight would use to lure her away.

However, what Tornado didn't expect was that after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see any new moves from Metal Knight.

"coming!"

Borsalino, who was holding a grilled fish in his hand, suddenly looked up and saw a humanoid mecha that was more than three meters tall, with a round head and covered in armor that looked like a space suit, appearing in the air.

"He didn't even think of a way to transfer me away?!"

Tornado stared at the humanoid mecha in the air in disbelief. She was the second-ranked S-rank, and Metal Knight had to find a way to transfer away even a small fry like Flash, but they dared to ignore her existence? !
The overwhelming rage almost made Tornado lose her mind. Although she looked like a cute little girl, Tornado was known for her violent temper.

He immediately used his telekinesis to pull up the abandoned building next to the training ground.

That was the dormitory building that was built when this site was chosen as a branch of the Hero Association and was intended to be provided to the association's staff.

Even if we ignore the connection between the building and the ground, the weight of the fourteen-story building itself is at least tens of thousands of tons. However, it was now pulled up by Tornado's telekinesis and thrown towards Metal Knight's war mecha like a super-giant brick.

"Alert! Alert! A marked target has been spotted, Terrifying Tornado!"

"Activate the energy shield! Defense mode activated!"

The part of the war mecha that looked like its eyes flashed red light rapidly, and a light blue spherical protective shield wrapped around the mecha.

'boom! ’

Before the mecha's so-called defense mode could be successfully activated, Tornado's "brick" had already fallen down with a bang, knocking the mecha down from mid-air like swatting a fly.

The building that should have been broken apart was forced to maintain its intact shape under the influence of super powers, and then was used by the tornado as a hammer to smash it down again and again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The entire training ground and even the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers seemed to be experiencing an 8.0 magnitude earthquake.

The building smashed a hole tens of meters deep where the mecha landed, and the continuous gushing of groundwater turned it into a lake of moderate size.

"See if you dare to ignore me!"

Tornado then angrily threw the broken bricks aside, and they fell to the ground and turned into a small hill of broken bricks and tiles.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling.

Especially those heroes who had participated in the battle to defeat Deep Sea King and were just beginning to become a little inflated were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Is this the combat power of an S-class hero? Isn't it a bit too exaggerated? !

Even Qing Yan, an A-class hero who was not far from the threshold of an S-class hero, saw the deep pit lake that could bury at least thousands of him, and the little idea that had just emerged in his mind not long ago was quickly strangled in the bud.

"So scary...Tornado-senpai is so awesome!"

The thick-skinned commander Mizuki suddenly cried out in surprise. When the other heroes were frightened speechless, only this simple-minded girl was not frightened by the tornado.

"He's really irritable... Don't be angry, I think he probably doesn't know you're here..."

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Borsalino suddenly reached out and touched the head of Tornado, who had just displayed her great power, and ruffled her hair in a very vicious way.

For a moment, many heroes thought that Lord Speed ​​Flash was finished, but they didn't expect that Tornado just slapped Borsalino's big hand away with a little annoyance, and the force was almost like flirting.

"What's going on?! Why is Tornado also in Speed ​​Flash's training camp?!"

On the other side, Dr. Bofoy, who was far away in the underground base, was also stunned and even forgot that he was still operating the war mecha.

If the combat AI on the war mecha had not automatically activated the energy shield, it would have been smashed into pieces by the tornado in the first place.

He risked exposing the spy lurking in the Hero Association headquarters and stole the Hero Association's communication network, and finally managed to transfer Flash away.

But who could have thought that after the 14th S-rank was transferred away, there was actually an even more ruthless 2nd S-rank present.

"Asshole! Check your machine's status immediately!"

However, Dr. Bofoy is not an ordinary person after all. Of course, the main reason is that he was not at the scene. Even if Tornado is very strong, she cannot pose a threat to his life.

"Status scan in progress... The damage to the aircraft has exceeded 17%, the energy reserve is 71% remaining, the energy shield system..."

The war mecha is worthy of being Dr. Bofoy's trump card. Even though it has been used as a nail by Tornado and smashed into the ground dozens of meters away, it still retains most of its combat power.

However, there was no joy on Dr. Bofoy's face. He only endured one round of attacks from the Thrilling Tornado, which destroyed nearly one-third of the energy reserves of the war mecha.

Although it was mainly because he failed to control the war mecha to dodge or activate defense mode in time, such a result was enough to prove how amazing the destructive power of the Thrilling Tornado was.

"I can still continue to fight...Tornado actually took the initiative to attack the war mecha. Could it be that the association has already noticed that I want to kill Speed ​​Flash?"

Dr. Bofoy gave himself an injection of an unknown drug to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

He is not only a genius in mechanics. If he didn't want to transform himself, Dr. Povoy could have become an enhanced version of Genos.

Even in the field of combat, where he is least proficient, Dr. Bofoy can use various scientific assistance methods to make himself a perfect mecha pilot.

"No, it's impossible. Even if the association noticed something, it's impossible for Tornado to reach City B so quickly..."

"But if it had nothing to do with the Hero Association, why did Tornado attack my mecha?"

Dr. Povoy racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Tornado attacked him.

What Dr. Bofoy did not expect was that because of the occasional malice on his part, Borsalino was able to sense his thoughts synchronously.

"It's quite sturdy. It's not broken at all. Tornado, please help me get that toy out."

Borsalino was originally regretting that the war mecha was damaged by Tornado, but he didn't expect that Metal Knight's work was so strong that it was only slightly damaged after being hit dozens of times by Tornado's "brick".

After knowing the good news, he quickly called Tornado to work. It would not be an easy task to fish out the war mecha from a small lake that was dozens of meters deep without Tornado's help.

"You just know how to order me around..."

Tornado muttered softly, but still used his telekinesis to transform into an invisible hand, grabbed the war mecha that was temporarily hiding at the bottom of the lake, and pulled it out of the water.

"Bombardment mode activated! Target locked! Super-charged energy cannon!"

The chest of the war mecha that had just been pulled out of the water by the tornado suddenly opened, revealing the internal circular energy circuit. As the energy of the war mecha continued to flow into it, a dazzling white light lit up on the energy circuit.

Then a beam of super-energy light flashing with electric light blasted straight towards Borsalino. It was so fast and powerful that most of the people present were unable to react.

"The ultimate flash!"

However, those who were unable to react in time did not include Borsalino and Tornado.

But before the furious Tornado could use telekinesis to block the attack, Borsalino had already raised his hand and pointed at the war mecha from a distance.

An extremely bright light burst out from Borsalino's fingertips, and before the combat AI equipped on the war mecha even had time to issue an order, the upper body of the mecha had been completely annihilated by the endless light.

A straight beam of light pierced through the sky from Borsalino's fingertips, and it was unknown how far it shot out before it completely disappeared into the universe.

Even Saitama, who was concentrating on eating seafood the whole time, took a look subconsciously, and then cast a resentful look at Borsalino.

He wished the attack was directed at him, so that Saitama would have a reason to have a good fight with Borsalino.

"It's broken! I accidentally broke the toy..."

Borsalino shook his hands in frustration, and seeing Saitama's resentful look, he couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.

If Saitama hadn't put too much pressure on him, causing him to subconsciously use a little more strength when he attacked, with Borsalino's control, how could he have beaten the war mecha to only half of its body?

Saitama was a little confused when Borsalino glared at him, but when he saw that only half of the mecha was left, he seemed to understand something and gave Borsalino a look of empathy.

He had clearly tried his best to control the strength, but no matter what kind of enemy it was, he would beat him to pieces with one punch. This was a great distress for Saitama.

"Um...was that attack just now your full strength?"

Tornado looked at Borsalino with a very complicated look. She once thought that there was not much difference between herself and Borsalino.

Even if Borsalino is stronger, he is only on the same level as her.

But the attack just now overturned Tornado's understanding of Borsalino.

Although she did not have the perception ability like Observation Haki, the fear from the bottom of her heart, as if she had met a natural enemy, made Tornado realize that Borsalino was much stronger than she had imagined!
If before this, Tornado thought that the reason she and other S-class heroes were at the same S-class was simply because the highest class was S-class.

Now this evaluation is not at all inconsistent with Borsalino. The reason why Borsalino and she are both S-level is simply because the highest level is S-level.

"Not yet~ Are you scared, Tornado?"

At this time, Borsalino suppressed his slight annoyance. It was just a more sophisticated toy. Once he caught the Metal Knight, he could have as many as he wanted.

On the contrary, seeing Tornado's slightly confused face, Borsalino almost laughed out loud.

It seems that the slight bit of strength he showed scared Tornado.

With a smile on his face, Borsalino rubbed Tornado's little head. He had to say that the feel of her rubbed it was almost as good as Nami's.

"Who... who is afraid? I will surpass you sooner or later!"

Tornado dodged Borsalino's big hand in shame and anger, but her mood was not as heavy as before.

She just silently made up her mind that she had to become stronger, at least not to be left behind by Borsalino and not even be able to see his taillights.

There is always a small thought in Tornado's heart that he cannot even tell Fubuki.

That is, when her strength becomes stronger than Borsalino, she can capture Borsalino and lock him up.

But this idea must not be known to Borsalino, otherwise she would be locked up in some way.

"Well, let's check our loot... Hopefully there's still some value left..."

Borsalino rubbed his hands and came to the wreckage of the war mecha. It is said that every boy has a mecha dream.

Even though Borsalino can now crush these so-called mechas with just one finger, it does not affect his good impression of mechas.

It's a pity that the previous attack was indeed too strong. Even in the world of pirates, only top-level warriors with thick skin and flesh like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin can withstand it.

The war mecha, which was only slightly damaged after being hit dozens of times by Tornado with a "brick", now only had two mechanical legs and a small half of the body connecting the two legs.

The extremely neat cross-section was densely packed with all kinds of electronic and mechanical equipment. Borsalino, who had been a science student many years ago, felt dizzy just by looking at it.

"Tsk, it looks like there's no hope. Let's just give each of us one leg and see what Tony and Vegapunk can come up with..."

Borsalino casually released a beam of light, cutting the war mecha in half from the hips down.

He then traded one of his legs to Tony Stark, and planned to give the other leg to Dr. Vegapunk when he returned to the pirate world to see if the smartest man in the world could make any discoveries.

At the same time that Borsalino was examining the wreckage of the war mecha, Dr. Bofoy, who was in the underground base, had not yet recovered from the shock.

The war mecha that he was so proud of, the most powerful weapon on which he had spent his entire life's efforts, was destroyed by the speed flash with just one strike.

Dr. Bofoy, who had come to his senses, suddenly got an idea and quickly operated to retrieve the maximum energy peak detected at the moment the war mecha was destroyed.

"This... This is impossible! Is that man some kind of fusion nuclear power plant?! How can a human possess this level of energy?!"

Looking at the astronomical figures on the screen, Dr. Bofoy felt that his common sense had been destroyed. If humans could be so many times stronger than machines, what was the point of him working so hard on research over the years?
At this moment, the communication device on the wreckage of the war mecha, which was still working, transmitted Borsalino's voice.

Dr. Bofoy, who was in a state of collapse, heard a key word, and his confused mind instantly became clear.

"Research! That's right! How could the Speed ​​Flash be a human? It must be a super life form that was researched by someone! Who is it? Kusno? No! Impossible! He doesn't have this technology. Is it that Tony and Vegapunk?"

Dr. Bofoy listened to the recording of that sentence over and over again, and one plan after another against Borsalino emerged in his mind.

"It turns out it's not completely broken yet... You can hear me, right? Don't worry, I'll find you soon, Metal Knight!"

Before Dr. Bofoy could figure it out, Borsalino's voice suddenly rang out.

Dr. Bofoy was so frightened that he almost screamed and crawled out of his laboratory.

On the other side, next to the wreckage of the war mecha, Tornado couldn't help but look over when she heard Borsalino talking to the wreckage.

"Can that guy hear me? You're dead! Metal Knight! I'll come after you, too!"

Tornado cursed loudly at the wreckage of the mecha that only had one leg left.

Although Borsalino had already said that Metal Knight probably didn't know she was there, so he dared to come to her on his own initiative.

But since Metal Knight dared to attack Borsalino, Tornado would not let this guy off easily.

"Well, I can't hear him anymore. He seems to be frightened by you."

After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, Borsalino, who failed to synchronize Metal Knight's thoughts, shamelessly put the blame on Tornado, completely ignoring the fact that Dr. Bofoy was almost frightened to death when he heard his voice.

Unfortunately, Metal Knight was too weak. He was so scared just because one of his mechas was damaged. As a result, Borsalino was unable to test the limit of his special observation Haki.

This special observation Haki, which he named Malice Perception, currently seems to have three abilities. The first is that when someone's malice towards Borsalino reaches a certain level, Borsalino can "see" the other person's appearance.

The second is when a target with malicious intent towards Borsalino begins to plot against Borsalino, Borsalino can not only 'see' the other person's appearance and location, but also simultaneously perceive the other person's thoughts.

The third is that Borsalino can give a mark to the target locked by his malicious perception, and he can also perceive the general situation and location of things related to the other party through this mark.

In general, it is not much different from the special ability to predict the future and listen to the sounds of all things. In a sense, it is even better.
