One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Diamante saw a huge phantom appear behind Zoro. It was Ashura, a notorious killer from the underworld, who made the same move as Zoro. Even after his Bankai, Zabimaru was weak and helpless in front of the spirit Ashura.

"Perhaps you can fulfill the eight-hundred-year-old wish of the itinerant swordsman..."

The three-sword style swordsman and the hellish Shura behind him charged toward Diamande with an aura that could cut through everything; this was a force that no human could withstand.

The camera zooms out, revealing the entire King's Highlands being deliberately cleaved in two with a whooshing sound, leaving the flower field with an unhealable scar.

Chapter 161 Rescued

What a powerful swordsman! Zoro's name has become famous throughout the seas today. Five years later, his strength may have approached that of Hawkeye Mihawk, and he may have a chance to ascend to the throne of the Great Swordsman.

After Ashura dissipated behind him, a huge chasm appeared in front of Zoro. Anything that stood in the way of the three-sword style swordsman was cut down, and he sheathed his three famous swords.

After the smoke cleared, he used his one eye to survey the surroundings. Diamanti was nowhere to be seen. The only proof that he had been there was a famous sword broken in half on the ground.

Zabimaru had been trained by Diamante to the level of a black blade and was also among the Great Grade Swords. Unfortunately, it followed the wrong master and blocked Zoro's path, ultimately meeting the fate of being cut in half. This sword will be forgotten forever, and perhaps we will see its intact form again in a future sword manual.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Diamante, you are a worthy opponent, and your spirit deserves recognition," Zoro muttered to himself.

The man's terrifying killing intent began to subside. This solidified killing intent was almost 100% controllable against weaker opponents, even more effective than Conqueror's Haki. Zoro had accumulated such a massive killing intent by killing countless lives on Dark Island and its guards; he couldn't even remember the exact number.

"Who...come out here," Zoro sensed someone spying on him in the palace ruins and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to fight at any moment.

Zoro's all-out attack completely turned the palace into ruins. He seemed to have lost his composure and forgot something, as if there was something important that needed to be saved.

"My lord... please don't kill me, I'm so weak..." A very faint voice came from the ruins of the palace, and Zoro could only make out that it was a woman's voice.

Following the sound, Zoro arrived at the source. He moved aside the bricks and debris blocking his way with his bare hands, and when the sunlight shone inside, a dusty, dwarf female figure appeared in his eyes.

Zoro had completely suppressed his murderous intent. When he reached out to grab the dwarf, the dwarf lay on the ground in fear, saying, "Why is there so much dust?"

He lifted the female dwarf into the air, brushed the dust off her body, and saw that she had long, golden curly hair that was longer than her height, a pointed nose, and red veins on her cheeks. She was wearing a white princess dress, and her appearance clearly indicated that she was no ordinary person.

"Don't eat me, I'll do things for you, please don't hurt me," the female dwarf was still very scared. Zoro's appearance as a one-eyed swordsman didn't seem like a good person, and with the surrounding destruction so severe, she subconsciously thought that this adult was definitely not someone to mess with.

"You must be Princess Mansherry."

"How do you know my name, sir?"

Zoro recounted to the tontatta princess how he met Leo, how he devised his plan, and explained that he was a good person, not a murderous monster.

Hearing about all the suffering her beloved had endured over the years, Princess Mansherry began to shed tears. "Lord Zoro, let's go find him. I really want to see Leo. I have so much to say to him."

Having had too much fun fighting Diamante, Zoro didn't notice Usopp and Leo's location. He could only stand on the ruins of the palace and look around. "Since that stone man is still here, they're probably in that place."

Pica, a Donquixote Family executive, was still manipulating the stone golem, proving that Usopp and the others were not in mortal danger. However, when Princess Mansherry saw the thousand-meter-tall stone golem, she was particularly worried about Leo's safety: "Lord Zoro is so close, let's go help them and defeat that villain from the Donquixote Family."

Princess Mansherry was a little too happy before she finished speaking. Although it was clear to the naked eye that the two were very close, she only realized what the greatest distance in the world was after Zoro, the humanoid vehicle, started moving.

Zoro isn't the kind of person who's terrible with directions. Even when he's heading towards the stone golem, he always inexplicably veers off course and ends up on other roads, never reaching his destination.

The twentieth time getting lost...

"Why is it another cliff? I didn't go the wrong way," Zoro said, resting his chin on his hand, somewhat doubting his life. He had been following Princess Mansherry's instructions, but he still couldn't reunite with Usopp and the others. It couldn't be his fault; it must be the steering wheel that was faulty. It was all the little princess's fault.

Princess Mansherry peeked out from under the man's shirt. She couldn't stand it anymore. Why was there such a terrible navigator in the world? She punched her savior's chest with her little fists. "Lord Zoro, you're such a terrible navigator! I gave you directions, told you to go straight but you turned, told you to turn but you turned around! It's infuriating!"

Despite their small size, the dwarfs are no less powerful than adults. Princess Mansherry's punches made Sauron feel uncomfortable, so he quickly pulled her out of his clothes and blamed the dwarf princess for the mistake, saying, "It's all because you gave us the wrong directions, otherwise we would have arrived long ago."

"Don't frame others. It's clearly Lord Zoro's own fault. You're terrible with directions and you're blaming others. Shame on you..." If Princess Mansherry hadn't been so well-mannered, she would have started cursing.

She really couldn't understand it. Zoroland could have destroyed the palace with his slash, and even the secret chamber where Princess Mansherry was imprisoned was destroyed.

The secret chamber was composed of some sea stone components. It was unheard of for such an indestructible substance to be destroyed by a swordsman. Princess Mansherry greatly admired Zoro Lando's strength, but it was a pity that such a powerful man was a hopeless navigator.

Zoro continued to demonstrate his terrible sense of direction, leading Princess Mansherry in circles around the King's Highlands, unable to provide support to his companions for the time being.

The high-level combatants are lost, which is really causing Usopp a lot of trouble. Against such a difficult-to-break monster, the sniper can only delay, not completely defeat Pica.

"Is Zoro lost again? I can't run anymore."

"Usoland, hang in there! You can do it! Don't give up here!"

Snipers can't fly or teleport; they can only use their legs to keep their distance from the stone golem. The plant seeds that Usopp launches from his black slingshot can only temporarily hinder the enemy's movement.

The stone golem, a thousand meters tall, was entwined with green vines. These devilish plants, which could grow rapidly by penetrating stone when exposed to light, caused considerable trouble for Pica's operation.

He can use his stone hands to pull off the plants from the stone man, but the price is that the stone man's appearance is damaged. However, this is only a temporary solution, and new ivy will grow back in less than a minute, keeping the stone man rooted in place and unable to move.

The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong. Pica never expected to be toyed with by someone as weak as Usopp.

Chapter 162 Miraculous Plants

Because Zoro continues to get lost, Usopp and Leo, after running for so long, finally realized one thing: they couldn't count on that directionally challenged swordsman. Now, he had to force himself to log into the Sniper King's account.

He pulled the Sniper King mask from his pocket. Although the mask didn't have any special effects, it gave him a boost of courage on a mental level, making him unafraid to fight powerful enemies head-on.

The King's Heights is only so big, but Pica used his Devil Fruit ability to absorb the surrounding rocks, making the stone giant grow larger and larger, and making the escape route under his feet more and more difficult to walk. If it were a character who particularly likes to fall flat on the ground, he would probably have been hit with a concussion long ago.

"You've bullied me for so long, it's time for me to fight back."

"Really? Usolando!" Leo popped the man out of his pocket, his eyes sparkling with admiration. He didn't want the descendant of a hero to be a weakling.

The Pica Stone Giant stopped directly in front of the opponent, and mocked in its distinctive clamping voice: "Who gave you insects the courage to challenge me? The plants growing on my body can't do any harm to me. Die, you insects!"

A stone hand, about 100 meters wide, slammed down towards Usopp's location. This time, the King of Snipers didn't dodge. Instead, he shouted loudly to the magical plants, "Tall-nut Wall, come out and help me control him!"

At the command of the Sniper King, four tall, brown nuts burst from the ground near the Stone Giant's feet, expanding to hundreds of meters in height within seconds, sandwiching the Stone Giant from four directions.

"Break these useless plants that look good," Pica manipulated the stone giant's body, growing larger by absorbing rocks and bursting the nuts, but he underestimated the toughness of the magical plants.

His actions backfired, further shrinking the Stone Giant's movement space and confining it to its spot by four Tall-nut walls—plants whose toughness exceeded his expectations.

Pica tried to destroy the plant by pulling out its roots, but after searching underground for a long time, she couldn't find the nut's roots. Could plants really be summoned out of thin air?

However, that's impossible. It's all because Usopp scattered many magical seeds under his feet while he was running away, luring the stone giant into the encirclement. Unexpectedly, the plan went very smoothly. Pica is a brainless fool who fights without thinking.

The Paramecia-type Stone-Stone Fruit is called a pseudo-Logia type. The word "pseudo" is particularly apt. Pica can only absorb nutrients from the earth to form a stone giant. Unlike other Logia types, he cannot move freely between different parts of the earth. He also cannot become an elemental being immune to physical damage. He simply hides inside the massive stone giant's body.

The kilometer-tall stone giant has a powerful ability to destroy terrain, but Pica never expected that one day she would be controlled by plants. If all else fails, she will have to give up the stone giant's body.

"Leo, watch my next performance! Peashooter, here I come!" The King of Snipers raised his right hand into the air, striking a rather cool pose. The magical plants, obeying their master's command, appeared once again.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Peashooters sprouted around the stone giant. Each of them was hundreds of meters tall, and each Peashooter had a specially designed firing port on its head. After being filled with plant cannonballs, they awaited the order to fire.

"Tall-nuts retreat, Peashooters fire!"

"Spalashi!!"

The Tall-nut has fulfilled its mission and withered away, leaving a space for the Peashooters to attack. Next up is the green Peashooter's battle show, with hundreds of plants simultaneously firing green plant projectiles (peas) to meet the Golem's hard body head-on.

[The light screen was stunned. In terms of combat power, this magical seed felt that it could rival his own Wood Release fruit. It was just that his Devil Fruit ability was not developed well enough, and he could not use the Wood Release of the First Hokage.]

"I want to join the Navy right now and take down these damn pirates," Aramaki could only talk the talk, as he had no connections. He would have to wait a while to become Admiral Green Bull.

Kaya's three underlings, who were standing next to her, cheered for their boss. Five years later, their boss was finally able to stand on his own and was capable of fighting against such an opponent.

"Usopp, you must have suffered a lot these past years," the beautiful and wealthy woman said, feeling sorry for her man. Sweat and adventure were indeed not easy.

When Pica saw that the other party had freed the high-nut from its restraints, he wanted to stretch his body. However, he didn't care at all about the plant projectiles that were being fired from all directions. He simply used his stone hand to catch these green projectiles. He had once again underestimated the power of the magical plant.

The green peas shot by the Peashooter were as hard as steel, and the surface of the Stone Giant was quickly dented and riddled with holes. The Stone Giant's hand, which it used to block the projectiles, was even broken. In a short time, the Stone Giant was suppressed by the Peashooter's firepower. The Stone Giant's speed of absorbing stones to repair its damage could not keep up with the speed of the damage caused by the Peashooter.

The pea shooters, relentlessly unleashing peas upon the stone giant, seemed to have an endless supply of peas. Although their firing rate was relatively slow, they fired one after another without ever changing their attack frequency. With this relentless, attritional approach, the stone giant couldn't hold out for long.

"You all forced me to this," Pica, one of Doflamingo's four top executives, was serious and determined to wash away his shame. The dignity of the strong cannot be violated by the weak.

Usopp is the Straw Hat crew member most skilled in Observation Haki. He immediately sensed the changes in the earth. Not only was King's High moving, but the entire island of Dressrosa was also starting to move, and the source of everything pointed to the location of the Stone Giant.

"This guy's Devil Fruit has awakened," the Sniper King thought, cold sweat beading on his forehead. The worst thing had happened; Pica, the Stone-Stone Fruit user, was practically the king of land warfare.

After awakening, Pica no longer needs to come into close contact with the stones; he can draw stone elements from the earth out of thin air. At this moment, he is like a huge black hole, continuously absorbing stones from all around to replenish his body.

The land around the stone giant became its nourishment, and the pea shooters who were protecting it were uprooted and merged with the earth and Pica. However, Usopp noticed something strange: he could see the stone giant absorbing the earth but he didn't see his body expand. What was going on? Where did all the absorbed substances go?

"not good"!

A stone giant burst forth from beneath Usopp, its massive stone hand launching a sneak attack on the Sniper King. Usopp, having foreseen this with his Observation Haki, used the momentum to leap into the air.

He took a magical seed out of his pocket and threw it at the head of the stone giant, shouting, "Super Squash, flatten him!"

The magical seed sprouted instantly upon exposure to light and developed into a fruit—a giant green gourd beyond description. With an angry expression, it sat flat on the stone giant beneath it, causing the still-growing stone man to return to the earth.

"Usolando, look around!" Leo suddenly shouted.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?"

Centered on the King of Snipers, the area was filled with stone figures emerging from the ground. Each one appeared to be a child and was about 100 meters tall. These were all the result of Pica using his Devil Fruit powers to piece together the figures from a distance.

With the power of his awakened Devil Fruit, he can control these stone golems to launch a siege attack on the enemy even without entering their bodies.

Nearly a hundred stone figures appeared simultaneously, and their numbers continued to increase until Pica had used up all the soil and stone on the entire island of Dressrosa, at which point the production of these stone figures would cease.

Chapter 163 Luck vs. Willpower

King's Heights has been ravaged by Picaho, and the endless stream of stone golems is causing Usopp a lot of trouble. They keep surrounding the Straw Hat crew's sniper and trying to crush him.

Usopp can only jump high, which is the result of five years of physical training. However, he cannot fly directly, nor can he use Moonwalk to stay in the air for long periods of time. He always needs to land and use the momentum to get into the air. The idea of ​​stepping on his right foot to fly into the sky is not something that will happen to him.

"Take this cherry bomb!" The King of Snipers pulled out another magical seed from his pocket and splashed it towards the stone man.

The magical seed, once exposed to light, developed into two large red cherries. Their fuse was very short, and they exploded violently before even touching the stone man.

Every cherry bomb is powerful; one is enough to shatter a stone golem. If it hits a human, not even bones will remain. The advantage is its immense power, but the disadvantage is that it is too powerful and indiscriminately detonates.

The smoke and dust from the explosion made the two cough incessantly. Leo poked his head out of his pocket to observe the situation: "Usoland and the others have sprouted from the ground again. Do you have any more cherry bombs? Keep going, don't stop!"

Because he wears the mask of the King of Snipers, no one can see his cowardly expression. Usopp is now very scared. He knows that he has fallen into a disadvantage. The Magic Seeds are not unlimited. These things are all cultivated on the Sunny.
