One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Over the years, Ilya has volunteered to act as a guide, bringing a lot of customers to Belhill. However, she has not received a single penny of wages. It's not that the stingy boss withholds wages, but mainly that the food expenses for the two of them are outrageous. If she weren't running a restaurant, she would definitely go bankrupt.

Berserker's appetite is equivalent to that of ten adults, and the little extra money Ilya earns becomes food for the dark-skinned hunk.

A fully grown adult with all four limbs intact was actually sucking the blood of a girl who was not even ten years old. If he didn't usually look stupid and couldn't even speak clearly, Belhill would have really wanted to get rid of this freeloader.

The giant who had been knocked down by the human got back up. When he saw that one piece of food had turned into three, he excitedly ran over to enjoy the delicious food. Little did he know that this giant had messed with the wrong person!

Using the outer door as a weapon, Berserker completely ignored Belhil's distressed gaze. The dark-skinned burly man roared at the giant running towards him, showing no fear of the giant's massive body. He coated the door with Armament Haki and charged towards the giant with firm steps.

This burly man did not disappoint the two women. Berserker leaped into the air, using the door panel as a weapon to cleave the giant in two, all in less than a minute.

"Uncle B is so strong! He's so powerful and he's still eating for free at my shop. What a loss!" Belhill exclaimed, admiring the man's bravery. He then touched the girl in his arms and a strange thought came to his mind.

Uncle B, this rough and tough guy, shouldn't be Ilya's biological father. The two don't look alike at all. It's impossible that Ilya completely inherited her mother's advantages and didn't show any of her father's bloodline. That idea is too far-fetched.

"Go Berserker! Defeat them! Defeat them!"

Following Ilya's directions, five giants emerged from the depths of the slums. They varied in size, but all had blood on their lips, indicating they had just enjoyed a feast.

"Save me! Someone save me! I don't want to die!"

"Run! They've caught up!"

"Scatter and hide inside buildings."

It turned out that the giants were chasing a group of prey towards Ilya. Whether you were rich or poor, in the eyes of these naked giants, you were all destined to be eaten.

Those who returned to the slums from the concert heard a deafening roar, their bodies turned into golden light, burning those around them to death. After all of them became giants, they began to wreak havoc on the slums, seeking a sense of existence from these poor people.

Berserker aimed in the direction the giants were running from, spun the door panel in his hand a few times, and then released it at the giant closest to the human.

Just as the aberrant giant reached out to grab the human, a black door panel flew in from afar and sliced ​​off its arm with tremendous force, also removing the giant's entire head.

Having lost its head as a control point, the entire body lost its weight and fell forward, about to crash into the fleeing humans in front of it. A black figure passed by these weaklings, and to everyone's astonishment, Berserker used his arms to lift up the giant's body.

"Ahhh...ahhh..." With a roar, the dark-skinned muscular man hurled the giant's body, which was over ten meters tall, at other approaching giants, smashing these man-eating monsters into a pile.

Berserker's godlike performance brought tears of joy to the eyes of the rescued. The weaklings had finally met a powerful figure and no longer had to race against giants.

The giant that was knocked down was only temporarily hindered. After getting back up, it ran toward the Berserker, only to be met with close-quarters combat, revealing the most primal violent aesthetics to everyone.

Although the giant who fell from the sky was only two meters tall, which was quite different from the giant's height, the latter was easily manipulated by the former and was constantly disassembled like a toy.

It was easy to tear off a giant's arm and turn the limb into a weapon to smash it against its original owner. Within two minutes, these giants were knocked to the ground.

Berserker noticed something strange as he pounded the giants' heads with their limbs: if he didn't completely smash the giants' heads, these monsters would emit steam, and the wounds he left would slowly heal, even to the point of limb regeneration.

When you do something, you have to go all the way. Berserker rode on the neck of a giant and smashed the last giant's head into a pulp with his two fists the size of sandbags.

When he rose again as a victor, Berserker was covered in the blood of giants, but soon he heard more footsteps.

Nearly several hundred giants, kicking up clouds of dust, charged toward the last survivors of the slums.

Chapter 144 Port Tragedy

The rest of Dressrosa was a scene of hell. The port was filled with refugees. Just minutes before, the navy had ordered them away from the coastline to make room for naval forces to land, but they hadn't expected to fall into chaos so quickly.

After the roar, golden light burst forth from the port, scorching those who were close to it. However, those who died on the spot were considered lucky, for their misfortune had only just begun.

A small portion of the navy that had ventured deep into the crowd was affected, but the vast majority of the naval soldiers who landed could only stand with their backs to the ships, their vision obscured by a cloud of white steam, and the actual situation remained unknown.

"In the end what happened?"

Jia Bi released the sniper rifle from her back. Faced with this sudden situation, there must be some danger lurking in the white mist. As a soldier, she had to be ready for battle at any moment.

"It's so quiet!"

"Why is it so quiet? The crowd was so noisy just now."

"Naval brothers, just give us a shout, even if there's nothing else to say."

The well-trained naval soldiers raised their semi-automatic rifles, ready to respond to any unexpected situation, and wondered if this phenomenon was some kind of Devil Fruit ability of the enemy.

From afar came the sound of panting footsteps. A soldier in a naval uniform emerged from the mist, missing an arm and his face contorted with terror. When he saw his comrades on the shore, he shouted into the crowd, "Run! There's a giant...!"

Before the man could finish speaking, a giant face emerged from the mist behind him and, under the watchful eyes of the navy, swallowed the living human whole in one gulp.

Making human bones fully contact with teeth and crunching, this strange giant saw more humans on the shore and crawled forward on all fours towards the gun barrels of the navy, instead of walking upright properly, it became a humanoid reptile.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The bullets from the semi-automatic rifle rained down on the giant's body, but the strangely behaving giant seemed oblivious to the pain. Despite being riddled with bullet wounds along the way, he continued to advance toward the navy.

"You all step aside and let me handle this," Colonel Jabi had somehow gotten down on the ground and set up her black sniper cannon. This powerful weapon, specially made for her by the navy, was something this underage girl used with ease.

Using the scope to confirm the head's position, Jia Bi pulled the trigger. With a loud bang, the huge recoil caused the ground to tremble slightly. Everyone watched as the colonel hit the target and achieved his objective.

The sniper cannon was incredibly powerful; one shot blasted the giant, leaving only half its head and a large hole in the path of the gunpowder. The fearless giant finally stopped, but strange steam emanated from its body, making the navy wary.

With the aid of the sniper scope, Gabi witnessed an unbelievable scene: the giant's fingers, whose head he had half-shot, were actually moving. "It's still not dead! What kind of monster is this?!"

The fatal wound on its head was being rapidly repaired by steam at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, one eye was successfully repaired and put into place, and the giants regained their vision. Still unwilling to give up, they continued to crawl towards the Navy's position.

As the dense moisture in the harbor gradually dissipated, a scene of hellish carnage was unfolding for the navy. There was more than one giant; as far as the eye could see, there were too many to count.

These naked, strangely shaped giants were devouring humans in front of the navy. Some of the giants had bloodstains on their mouths and occasionally held human body parts in their hands.

"Save me... Someone save me..." A man whose body had been half-eaten by a giant was still alive despite the extreme pain.

The giant holding him in his hand watched the human's dying cries with curious eyes. Another giant beside him couldn't stand this waste of food, so he decided to eat for him since the human wasn't the one to eat.

Snatching food from the Abnormal Titan, it reached out and tore the man's body in two, pulling out many human entrails with its force. The upper half of his body fell into the mouth of an ordinary Immaculate Titan, while the lower half of his body was still held in the hand of a black-haired Abnormal Titan.

Another navy officer was particularly unlucky, as he was targeted by five giants at the same time. Each of them grabbed a limb and tore him apart, and under the cruel smiles of the giants, the human's bright red blood bloomed in the air.

"Ugh...ugh...I can't take it anymore..."

Some inexperienced recruits were so shocked by the sight of such a giant creature devouring people that they vomited on the spot. Some cowards even fell into the sea.

Gabi confirmed one thing through the high-powered scope: apart from the navy, there were no living people left in the port; most of them had turned into giants, and the rest had become food for them.

After the giants had killed and eaten all the living creatures around them, they saw hundreds of humans still on the shore. They immediately discarded the human remains in their hands, and the first to lead the charge were some strange creatures with very unusual running postures.

Hundreds of aberrant Titans, some running, some jumping, some climbing, charged toward the navy as the vanguard, followed by tens of thousands of Pure Titans. Some of the short-legged Titans were slow and were kicked to the ground by the long-legged Titans. Once they fell, they had no chance to get up, and a group of Titans trampled over them.

With such numbers and individual mass, ordinary firearms are useless against giants. The heavy firepower of naval warships will be used to teach these giants who love to eat humans a lesson.

The coastline was no longer suitable for human habitation. Under Colonel Jabi's orders, they proceeded in an orderly fashion to the landing craft, which then transported personnel back to the warships one by one. Fortunately, a sufficient number of landing craft were deployed this time, and a single wave was enough to haul all the naval personnel ashore and return them to the safer naval vessels.

"Look at the warships! The cannons are rising!" Following the navy officer's directions, the naval warships were seen lying sideways on the sea, lined up in a straight line.

Each of the new naval warships is a steel monster, uniformly equipped with five 400mm main guns and ten 300mm secondary guns. Under the coordination and command of the commander inside the warship, these guns are all pointed at the port of Dressrosa.

A gentle breeze blew across the sea, fluttering the righteous cloak of the Marine Admiral. Arkin and Smoker stood side by side, facing tens of thousands of giants, the two powerful men showing no fear whatsoever.

"Let these monsters experience the power of this new warship."

Smoker glanced at the dark cannon muzzles, each shell fired from them far more powerful than those fired from the warships five years ago. If such widely available lethal weapons had been available during the Marineford War, it would have greatly reduced casualties among naval soldiers.

Indeed, cannons are a man's romance. Many sailors, after witnessing the immense power of these cannons, fell deeply in love with these dark and robust machines.

Chapter 145: Artillery fire cleanses the ground

In order to enable ordinary naval soldiers to exert their combat power, naval vessels entered the era of giant guns and large ships. In this pirate world where there are not even wooden airplanes, super battleships are the answer.

Users of Devil Fruits that can fly are extremely rare, with only one or two existing in each faction. Such a small number does not pose a threat to battleships.

Because this pirate world is energy-scarce, lacking cheap energy sources like oil and coal, a scientific unit stumbled upon a substance called methane hydrate in the deep sea.

Combustible ice has the characteristics of high calorific value, low pollution and large reserves. It is mostly white or light gray crystals, and its appearance is similar to ice and snow. It is used as a new type of high-efficiency energy.

The navy's new warships are powered entirely by combustible ice, a substance found in the deep sea that is sufficient to power these massive steel behemoths, giving the navy's battleships a significant advantage in speed.

Most pirate ships on the sea are launched by sails, and battleships are simply a dimensional reduction attack on those wooden ships, as they can be directly crushed by the metal plates on their exteriors.

During the island landing operation, the artillery support provided by the naval strategic ships made life unbearable for the defending side, proving that all are equal before heavy artillery.

The battleships played a crucial role in the easy breach of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, bombarding the Revolutionary Army and turning the entire White Earth Island into scorched earth.

Although each battleship is very expensive, the new ships are more cost-effective than the Peacekeepers, which are difficult to mass-produce, and are much simpler to maintain than high-precision equipment.

The battleship industry adopted a standardized, industrialized process, with each ship being roughly a one-to-one replica. This greatly accelerated the shipbuilding speed, and the Naval Headquarters was constantly in a state of shipbuilding overload, with at least twelve brand-new battleships being launched every year.

Navies stationed around the world are considered very lucky to be assigned one of these ships. This time, Admiral Akin brought out two new battleships, along with some older naval vessels. Those old relics could only watch from behind and witness firsthand how the darlings of the new era would perform.

The fastest running aberrant Titans had already entered the sea, followed by a vast army of giants. The intentions of these deranged giants were clear: to launch a preemptive attack on naval vessels. At this point, they could no longer delay.

"I didn't expect Doflamingo's giant transformation weapon to have developed to this extent. Fortunately, the Navy's technological level has not stagnated in recent years. We are prepared to use up all our ammunition," Admiral Smoker issued the combat order to the two battleships through a Den Den Mushi.

The shells used by battleship guns weigh at least a thousand pounds each, which is impossible for humans to move. However, automation has solved this problem. Shells can be easily retrieved from the ammunition depot and automatically loaded, and the rate of fire can be made as fast as possible.

"Fire on Dressrosa!"

"fire"!

The two admirals simultaneously issued the order to fire. Nearly thirty cannons from the two battleships fired in an instant, each shot leaving billowing black smoke in the air, letting the giants experience what a high-yield shell was and what a saturation attack was.

The two battleships unleashed a torrent of fire directly ahead. These giants, who felt no pain, were equal before the cannonballs, despite their varying heights.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

This weapon, born for war, leaves a large crater in the ground with every shell. Nearby giants are either blown to pieces or turned into torches on the spot. Any carbon-based life form is afraid of being burned.

The 20-meter-tall Abnormal Titan either had its legs blown off or its entire upper body blasted away. When it landed, it had no chance to recover and face the next round of cannon fire.

The port was quickly turned into a black world, with thick smoke mixed with sporadic fires. Dressrosa's once bustling port became a scorched wasteland, and thousands of giants returned to the earth under the intense bombardment.

Only a few dozen giants survived by sheer luck, their heads undamaged. They lay on the ground, using steam to regenerate their bodies, but they posed no threat to the navy. These survivors could be dealt with by the subsequent landing forces.
