One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Kaku was puzzled by the golden gorilla's actions on the ground: "What is he doing? Is he trying to throw a rock? What power can a rock have?" He could defend against a bomb, but he could dodge a large rock with his Observation Haki.

Having prepared a stone projectile, the Beast Titan raised its arms high, assuming a throwing stance. "CP0, catch the ball. Don't die so easily."

The stone projectiles were propelled into the sky by the giant's arm strength, shattering into countless fragments like a shower of flowers. The CP0 agents, preparing to meet the attack, unleashed their full Observation Haki. If they couldn't dodge it, they would use one of the Six Powers, Iron Body, to withstand the impact. How much pain could these cannonball-like stones possibly cause?

Each piece of rock made a dull whistling sound as it flew through the air. Lucci, the CP0 commander, immediately sensed something was wrong: "The rocks have been imbued with Devil Fruit powers; you can't take them with your body."

The incoming stone projectiles shattered into a large net. They could dodge some of them in the air, but the rest could only be destroyed by force. There was nowhere to dodge, and even with Observation Haki activated, they couldn't escape.

"Storm Foot - Multiple Triumphant Birds"

More than a dozen blue slashes, shaped like flying birds, were instantly kicked away by Lucci. The sharp slashes collided with the incoming stones. These stones, whose weight had changed, were still stones in essence, and the attack was easily cut off.

"It seems my stones are still too light. Let me send you some more stones weighing tens of thousands of tons." Mahabez launched another wave of stone rain attacks. The stone projectiles were given extra weight by the Ton-Weight Fruit the moment they left his hand, increasing from one ton to tens of thousands of tons with each attack.

"The Ton-Press Fruit can only affect the user, at most making Mahbes's body weigh 100,000 tons. He can attach tons of weight to rocks, which means he has reached the point of fruit awakening." After a brief analysis by Agent Ada, Mahbes's strength was understood both inside and outside the light screen.

The Donquixote Family executives and CP0 agents played a game of catching bullets, with wave after wave of stone projectiles being sent into the air by the Beast Titan, leaving Lucci and the others to passively reduce the threat with slashing attacks.

Constantly wasting stamina by using Moonwalk in the sky is wasteful. Even Zoan-type Devil Fruit users don't have unlimited stamina.

"I'll take care of that giant one first, then deal with the blond gorilla and cover for me."

Kaku, the orc-like giraffe, kept spinning his neck in the air in one direction. The rotation was getting faster and faster, and ordinary people could only see a blur.

"Slashing Giant Top"

Maintaining an incredibly fast rotation speed, the fleshy spinning top unleashes dozens of semi-circular slashes directly in front, aiming the attacks at the head of the colossal giant.

Kaku transformed into a white spinning top. If his previous slash couldn't sever the Titan's head, he would personally test the Colossal Titan's body hardness with his own.

The giant, with a body a hundred meters tall, had no room to dodge. Its originally exposed red flesh was now enveloped in shiny black Armament Haki. Kaku's slash landed on the giant's black body, leaving only a shallow white mark. It couldn't even break through the giant's defenses when it struck its face.

Kaku's giant spinning top turned from white to black. It was time to test their Armament Haki and see who was darker and harder.

The colossal giant formed by Gladius was attacked head-on by Kaku. The collision of Armament Haki sparked fierce fire. The giraffe-man, who was more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, quickly gained the upper hand and began to slice through the giant's face at an extremely high speed. In a short time, he had already severed the giant's nose. Given more time, Kaku was capable of cutting off half of the giant's head.

The giant slowly raised its two arms to defend, its huge hands wrapped in Armament Haki. Gladius wanted to crush the bug on his face; CP0's constant spinning around was too annoying.

Kaku chose to stop spinning the giant top while he was ahead, and used Moonwalk to create distance. The giant arm was too slow to move; even without Observation Haki, it could be easily dodged with the naked eye.

"So what if you transform into a giant? You're still a sitting duck," the giraffe-orc said with a mocking expression, showing utter contempt for his enemy.

"Steam air explosion"!

The colossal giant emitted scorching steam, and Kaku was already surrounded by harmless steam. Due to the influence of Gladius's Boom-Boom Fruit, the originally harmless steam expanded around CP0 at a visible speed.

"Oh no!" Kaku sensed danger with his Observation Haki, but it was too late for him to shout it.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Countless explosions engulfed Kaku's figure. Each explosion was enough to flatten a building, sending black mushroom clouds into the sky. The airbursts continued near the Colossus, exploding hundreds of times without ending.

The giraffe-man slowly fell from the thick black smoke, his white suit burned to shreds. Kaku was bleeding profusely from the corner of his mouth. He had covered his entire body with Armament Haki before the attack, but he still lost consciousness in the violent explosion. The explosive power of the Boom-Boom Fruit was hundreds of times stronger than the Navy's bombs.

The idea that bombs couldn't kill people was from the previous version. Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, would lose health when hit by a bomb. The situation where even a "mini-nuclear bomb" couldn't kill the bird minister of Alabasta will never happen again.

Like Machvis, Gladius also possesses the ability to awaken a Devil Fruit. After awakening, this explosive man can transform matter within a radius of tens of meters into explosive properties without physically touching objects, making it impossible to detonate objects coated with Armament Haki.

Kaku went in, and then he got instantly killed...

Chapter 97 Flip

If the awakening of a Devil Fruit isn't exposed by a light screen, it will only circulate within a small circle of monsters. If a user can reach the point of Devil Fruit awakening, they are at least a T2 level user on this ocean, and it's only a matter of time before they rise to the ranks of T1 powerhouses.

Two Donquixote Family executives have both awakened their Devil Fruits, and Gladius and Machvise are not even the main executives. If even the second-tier executives have shown this level of skill, it's unimaginable how strong Doflamingo's four main executives will be five years from now.

Dressrosa is not only home to forces loyal to Doflamingo, but also to a hidden restoration faction, mainly composed of tontatta and a group of gladiators.

Machbis and Gladius were no strangers to them, but five years later they displayed such astonishing strength. After their bodies turned into giants, they could still skillfully use their Devil Fruit abilities. These two lower-ranking officers were monsters. With such a difference in strength, they could not defeat each other by sheer numbers. No matter how many they got close, they would be blown up by the other party.

King Riku, wearing a silver mask, sat with a one-legged toy soldier. The content on the screen filled him with a sense of powerlessness. Moreover, his princess was still in the future and might have had a daughter with Doflamingo, which was absolutely a bolt from the blue for this old father.

The restorationists, led by the one-legged toy soldier, were having second thoughts in the face of overwhelming power. How many sacrifices would it take to defeat Doflamingo? It was possible that the entire resistance would be wiped out before they even got close to the usurper.

The first soldier toy to appear in Dressrosa made a difficult decision: "Five years later, this country is still ruled by the same Shichibukai, which means our resistance has completely failed. Since we know this dark future, we can't give up. We should lie low and wait for the light curtain to change."

For the resistance alliance, the words of this toy leader were law; whatever he said was law. To avoid unnecessary sacrifices, they postponed the general offensive plan.

--split line--

On the screen, CP0 members continued to fight against Don Quixote Family executives, and viewers hoped to force both sides to reveal more and show off their trump cards.

The giraffe-man plummeted from a hundred meters in the air like a kite with a broken string. The other two CP0 companions dared not approach rashly. The power of Gladius's Boom-Boom Fruit made Lucci and Ada hesitant to act rashly. Getting too close would only result in them being blown up for nothing. They made a mistake once, but it would be too smart to do it again.

The leopard-man approached the female CP0 member and, in his superior capacity, issued the battle order: "Aida, awaken it. Let the dominant parasite take Kaku's place in the battle."

"Kaku, please don't blame me when you wake up. Doing this will consume your lifespan, but CP0 cannot fail." Ada's originally beautiful eyes have transformed into insect-like compound eyes, and her face has gained some female insect features. Today, she will show the true power of her Devil Fruit.

Kaku, who had lost consciousness due to the explosion, opened his blood-red eyes during the fall. A pair of fleshy wings sprouted from the giraffe-man's back, his limbs transformed into sharp claws, and a biological mouthpart grew from the last part of his tail. The giraffe-man's already long neck was stretched again, his face split open in a flower-like shape, filled with dense, terrifying sharp teeth, and his entire body was covered by a black exoskeleton.

After the controlled parasite briefly takes over his brain, Kaku enters the Executioner's battle state. In this form, he only obeys the Queen Parasite's commands, loses all emotions and pain, and can fight to the limit until he dies.

A pair of black wings on his back allow Kaku to hover in the air. In this form, the Six Powers of the Navy have completely lost their value. Even the Iron Body Technique, which is extremely harmful, is not as hard as this exoskeleton.

"Kaku, go and take down that giant ape first." Once Machabas is defeated, Lucci can free his hands in mid-air and not be distracted by protecting Ada's safety.

"Steam air explosion"

The steam around the Executioner Kaku began to expand again. This time, Gladius failed. Before the explosion even started, the CP0 controlled by the parasites burst forth with astonishing speed.

With a distance of several hundred meters between them, the black monster moved so fast that it was as if it had teleported in front of the beast giant. Its two sharp claws pierced the giant's eyes and ripped out its eyeballs.

"What an ugly bug!"

Facing such a highly agile opponent, the Executioner Kaku kept leaving wounds on Mahabais's beast-like body. This was even with Mahabais covered in Armament Haki. If he hadn't had Haki to protect his giant body, he would have been torn apart by the Executioner long ago.

Kaku the Executioner was overwhelming Machbais, while Lucci, using Moonwalk in the air, arrived directly in front of the Colossal Giant that Gladius had transformed into. Armament Haki, like blood, continuously gathered in his right fist, and the originally black Armament Haki began to change color, turning from black to white, forming a new qualitative change.

There are also differences between Armament Haki. Lucci crossed the level of advanced Armament Haki and arrived at the top level of Armament Haki. "Such a large body is just right. Let me show you the true power of Armament Haki."

The air in front of the leopard man was continuously compressed into his right fist, mixing with the white Armament Haki that enveloped him, and converging into a single move, "Polar Day - Air Tremor"!

Gladius's colossal giant body was enveloped in black Armament Haki. Lucci did not leave a fist mark on him, but instead punched a huge hole below the giant's neck. Looking in the direction of the hole, a deep fist mark was left on the hard stone wall.

Gladius, inside the giant's head, was nearly scared to death. If he had aimed his punch at the giant's head, he would have had no time to react to such a terrifying attack and would have been left to die on the spot.

This colossal body was destroyed by CP0 in one move. There was no time to heal the flesh with steam. Without the skeleton to support the huge head, the giant's body collapsed from the inside due to gravity, and the mangled flesh and bones collapsed straight down.

The Donquixote Family executive with the blue afro, half of his body emerging from the giant's head, couldn't help but complain about this freak: "What a monster! His Armament Haki can change color. Could the rumors about Kaido of the Beasts be true?"

After Gladius's entire body detached from the human cockpit and transformed into a giant, his stamina was reduced by more than half. The remaining stamina was enough to support one more transformation. Just as he was about to continue self-harming, the hand that was about to be bitten suddenly flew out in front of him and broke off from his body.

Lucci, still in human form, stood coldly before his enemy in an unblemished white suit, saying, "You won't get a second chance with me."

This CP0 member was confident that he could tear Gladius's human body into countless pieces before Gladius fully transformed into a Colossus. Lucci didn't believe that Gladius could complete his Titan transformation in such a state.

Chapter 98 Field Expansion

The gruesome images of severed limbs were exposed without any attempt to conceal them on the screen, revealing the cruel methods of the intelligence agency CP0 to the world.

Gladius's limbs were cruelly severed by Lucci's hand chop. This Donquixote Family executive, who was emanating the same steam as the Titans, was slowly repairing his wounds, but he was still a blood-soaked human stump.

"If you let that lightning strike again, I'll cut your head into pieces. Do you want to bet on that?"

Those chilling words sent a shiver down Gladius's spine. He wasn't entirely confident that he would survive Lucci's attack before he could create the Titan's body.

Ada landed beside Lucci from high above. The woman carefully observed the changes in Gladius's body. The steam emanating from within could not only heal wounds, but even regenerate severed limbs.

"Doflamingo really knows how to hide his abilities, even when he self-harms to use the power of giantification and can recover from severed limbs."

After saying that, she looked at another battlefield. Kaku, in his Executioner form, had already dragged Mahbais out of the human cockpit. He was in a worse state than his companion, and was being eaten alive, with half of his body already inside the mouthparts of the parasite.

His head was unharmed, but he was enduring both mental and physical torment as a black worm slowly devoured him. Mahabais was completely devastated, tears and snot streaming down his face as he wailed and begged CP0 for a quick death.

The result was that the prey could heal wounds. The executioner Kaku began to enjoy this delicious human flesh feast bite after bite. When Mahabais grew a new limb, he tore it off and ate it. The unfortunate Don Quixote family executives were constantly supplying CP0 with fresh meat.

"Alright, Kaku, hurry up and get back to normal," Ada said, pressing her finger to her temple. Through the Queen parasite inside her body, she briefly communicated with the dominant parasite, and the subordinate parasite unconditionally obeyed the Queen's commands.

Under the perspective of the light screen, the parasite that occupied Kaku's central nervous system crawled back into the man's heart and began to hibernate, returning the body's usage rights to this CP0.

The parasite's presence in Kaku's heart served as an insurance policy for the World Government, and also to protect his heart and prevent him from being killed in a surprise attack and losing his fighting ability.

As long as the heart is beating, parasites can stimulate the host's cellular activity factors, allowing cells to divide and proliferate in a disorderly manner, much like a malignant tumor, eventually building new human tissue. The executioner's black armor is one such masterpiece.

The blood-red color in Kaku's eyes faded, and human emotions returned. The proliferating flesh, no longer controlled by parasites, automatically detached from his body, allowing this CP0 member to return to human form after regaining consciousness.

Sensing something disgusting in his stomach, Kaku ignored the terrified Mahabais, pressed his hand to his throat, and with a series of dry heaves, spat out several undigested human fingers, along with saliva and stomach acid, onto the ground.

"Ugh... I've eaten human flesh again, I really can't get used to it... Ugh," Kaku had vomited like this before, but each time it made him so sick that he couldn't eat for several days.

In the executioner state, after breaking through the limitations of human genes and rapidly dividing cells, the body needs to replenish its blood and flesh with nutrients. In the eating state, even the stomach organs are specialized, which can quickly decompose and absorb the food that is put in, and continuously deliver nutrients to the whole body.

The reason why Kaku didn't spit out the missing limbs of Mahabez is because with the replenishment of an additional energy source, the lifespan overdrawn in the Executioner state can be slightly replenished.

Grabbing the Donquixote Family executive by the scruff of his neck, Kaku dragged Machbais in front of his companion, pairing him up with Gladius. Gladius dared not transform into a Titan in front of Lucci. Kaku took the opportunity to thank his companion, saying, "Ada-senpai, you saved my life. I was careless again."

This intelligence agent, who came from the East China Sea, inherited the big-heartedness characteristic of people from the East China Sea. He would quickly forget some unimportant things. For example, he was just eating a human alive, but when he turned around, it was as if nothing had happened. He would not have any psychological burden on a mental level. Feeling nauseous for two or three days was just a minor problem.

Gradus endured the pain from the severed limbs and saw that his family member Machabys had also been defeated by CP0. The other party had fainted from fright and there was a strong smell of urine in the air. He was a disgrace to the Don Quixote family.

"I've dealt with CP0 agents before. The three of you are unbelievably powerful. Is there really such a big difference between CP0 agents?" Gladius was tricked by his past experience. The CP0 agents he had encountered before were practically two different species.

The praise from the enemy did not make the three agents too happy. If it weren't for the significant results of their training over the past five years, they would most likely have failed in the Dressrosa mission.

Ada planned to use the parasite to interrogate the two officials, wanting to know why they had arrested her. Moreover, she felt like she had seen that black-haired youth somewhere before. As the fragments of memory in her mind pieced together, her whole head felt like it was being torn apart, as if the queen-type parasite inside her was suppressing her memories.

A defeated opponent who can't control his mouth keeps rambling on, "The ability to condense and change the color of Armament Haki is rumored to be developed by Kaido of the Beasts. If that lord finds out that you stole his techniques, your World Government skin won't be able to withstand his wrath."
