Unable to deal with the spherical creature, and now burdened with a nagging, chattering attribute that was odious.
However, as the spherical creature drew closer, Law felt an opportunity and allowed her to be presumptuous.
As long as the distance was right, he could decisively act.
The team advanced steadily without greed or haste, ensuring enough leeway to react upon encountering unknown danger.
While venturing deep into the forest, Law secretly made a few gestures, signaling Ging and the others not to interfere.
Given the spherical creature's reaction and movement speeds, only Law among the team had a chance to subdue her.
The others could not help.
So it was better to have them not intervene.
The milky white glow remained unextinguished, and petrified feather specks fluttered in the space below the canopy.
Everyone was covered in a dense, airtight layer of petrified feathers, having to raise their hands from time to time to wipe the feathers sticking to their eyes.
Behind the team, the spherical creature followed closely, like a machine, continuously repeating the same question.
For several hours, Law and his teammates ignored her, but she showed no anger at all, possessing terrifying and extraordinary patience.
Because the spherical creature was too fast, Law was in no hurry to act.
To be safe, even when the spherical creature stepped within the expected range, Law held back.
There might only be one chance... he had to seize it well.
Thus enduring all the way, until the spherical creature unconsciously entered a range of ten meters, Law quietly prepared.
Ten meters was already a striking distance, but Law wanted to endure a little longer.
'Nine meters...' Law thought silently.
One more meter meant a slightly higher success rate.
He had to succeed in one go... otherwise, there might not be a second chance.
Twenty minutes later, the distance shrunk to nine meters.
At that moment, Law moved.
Having prepared in advance, Law exerted his fastest speed.
Turning, dashing out… it was seamless.
Even Ging and the others had not reacted before Law flashed before the spherical creature.
"Why not..."
The spherical creature's nagging ceased for the first time.
With this sudden attack, Law had for the first time outpaced her reaction speed.
Whoosh!
The spherical creature was clearly panicked, her retreating movement contorting.
In that instant, the spherical Domain condensed under Law's palm perfectly encapsulated the spherical creature.
The spherical creature went from extremely fast motion to a static state, imprisoned within the Domain sphere.
Her wings, originally flapping so fast they were barely visible as shadows, now moved slowly and stiffly under the severe restriction of the Domain ability.
The spherical creature stared at the human before her, feeling fear for the first time since her creation.
Also, she was puzzled as to how such a thin layer of Nen could restrict her movements.
"Got you at last."
Law looked at the spherical creature imprisoned within the Domain sphere.
In just moments, the swirling specks once again covered Law in a thick layer.
Only after Law succeeded in capturing the spherical creature did Ging and the others react.
Law had acted without informing them, and his speed was extreme, so their reactions were several beats slow.
Now, they quickly gathered around.
Seeing so many humans approaching, the spherical creature finally grew a bit flustered, and the intensity of her struggles noticeably increased.
However, under Law's control, the spherical creature's struggles were slow and stiff, achieving nothing.
'Why can I not break free?'
'This life force did not seem that strong.'
Deep confusion filled the spherical creature's mind.
So many times before, she had directly dodged these humans' attacks.
Now, being touched meant being restrained, making her deeply aware of this human's terrifying nature.
"I suggest killing it outright."
Kuro, who had been nearly driven mad by the spherical creature, glared viciously at her close up.
The spherical creature seemed to understand Kuro's words, suddenly focusing her gaze on him.
The gaze showed no emotion, but being stared at made one's skin crawl.
But Kuro was not a pushover... he coldly met the spherical creature's stare.
"Don't cause trouble."
Law habitually kicked Kuro away.
Then, he looked at the spherical creature and said calmly, "Though I do not know how you manage it, it saves a lot of trouble."
What Law referred to was the communication issue.
The language he used was the Common Language of the Six Continents.
Yet the spherical creature understood.
"Why capture me?"
The spherical creature calmed down and asked in a calm tone.
"Then why are you following us?"
Law asked in return.
Though he did not know what language the spherical creature used, they could understand it.
"Why can I not follow you?"
The spherical creature remained unruffled.
Hearing the spherical creature's words, before Law could respond, Tonpa nearby rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "We do not want you to follow."
"Why do you not want me to follow?"
"Because you are annoying."
"Why do you think I am annoying?"
The spherical creature looked at Tonpa with calm yet slightly puzzled eyes.
"..."
A cross-shaped vein appeared on Tonpa's forehead.
"Why do you think I am annoying?"
The spherical creature repeated the question, looking as if she insisted on getting an answer.
As she asked why, she did not forget to keep struggling.
The flesh on Tonpa's face twitched.
Then, Law pressed his hand down.
His palm passed through the Domain and pressed directly onto the spherical creature's head.
Instantly, the spherical creature's pupils sharply shifted, fixing on Law.
The wings she had been struggling with stopped moving entirely.
Law looked at the spherical creature, his expression calm, but within, waves stirred.
The White Smoke Font gave an appraisal result after a long absence, and furthermore, gave the option of whether to absorb, much like the Crow of Misfortune he encountered in the Misty Forest.
Just as the White Smoke Font presented Law with the option, the spherical creature felt a fear that penetrated her soul.
Though the human's Aura and expression were calm, the moment he touched her, a premonition arose spontaneously.
If this human wanted, with but a thought, he could make her turn to ashes.
This might no longer be a premonition, but reality.
Thus, the spherical creature vividly portrayed her fear through her eyes.
Nearby, including Coo and the Skeleton, everyone was observing the spherical creature and thus saw the deep fear that had emerged in her eyes.
'What happened?'
They looked at Law.
The spherical creature's reaction was because Law's hand had touched her.
Law looked at the spherical creature and said coldly, "Ask why again, and I will kill you."
The eyes within the spherical creature's orbits trembled rapidly.
The first line of information presented by the White Smoke Font was the spherical creature's name… Chucu.
