One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

The team has already used up most of its resources for this operation. If they waste more time on the stone golems, they will fall into Pica's trap. As long as the soil in Dressrosa is not used up, he can create stone golems indefinitely. The Miracle Seeds will not be able to outlast him in a protracted war. They must take decapitation action to eliminate this executive as soon as possible.

"Leo, hold on tight! Don't let me throw you off. I'm taking a risk this time."

The Sniper King mask gave Usopp boundless courage. He threw a cherry bomb nearby, positioning himself at the furthest point of the explosion, and left a magical seed behind as a backup plan.

The force of the explosion sent Usopp flying, heading straight for Pica's location. Regardless of the stone soldiers, he was determined to capture the leader first.

"What can you do, little bug?"

The Donquixote Family's executives were very confident in their stone-like appearance, and their defenses could not be broken without strong measures. Usopp had no chance to plant the Peashooter. As for the Cherry Bombs, it was unknown how many would be needed to damage the thousand-meter-tall stone giant.

Usopp gritted his teeth and endured the pain. As he approached the stone giant, he threw the last few magical seeds at the enemy's location, saying, "Golden Stone, peel off his stone skin! Let's see where you can hide, you coward!"

The magical seed was planted on the stone giant and transformed into a plant called the Gold-Sucking Stone. It extracted the stone element from its host, frantically growing stronger and vying with the Devil Fruit for control of the stone, thus paving the way for its master's final transformation.

Within a minute, the stone giant's body became somewhat loose. Through the gaps in the stone giant's body, Usopp, with his superb Observation Haki, finally found Pica's hiding place. "Finally found you. Let's see how you hide this time."

Usopp aimed his weapon, the Black Slingshot, at the enemy, with the last Cherry Bomb attached. The Paramecia-type Judgment Fruit began its judgment round, with a 50% chance of success and a 50% chance of failure. At this moment, Usopp firmly believed in his luck, thinking that he would succeed every time.

Go, Cherry Bomb!

The slingshot, Black Helmet, carrying its master's will, fired this plant bomb. The judgment of the fruit was completed at the moment of release, with only a 50% chance that Usopp would perfectly hit it. The god of luck was on his side.

The cherry bomb, imbued with the power of the Devil Fruit, broke through the resistance of layers of rocks and arrived in front of Pica. Faced with this power of causality, no barrier of space or time could hinder it, and this Donquixote Family executive had no way to avoid it.

"Damn sniper!" Pica covered his entire body in Armament Haki for defense. He realized that the Devil Fruit hadn't given him any extra time, and without any external force, he could only use his body to withstand the cherry bombs.

The violent implosion occurred inside the stone giant, destroying the kilometer-tall stone giant from the inside. The stone golems, which were originally moving, lost control and stopped in place. Each stone golem lost its soul and became a pile of rubble on the ground.

The stone giant created by the Stone-Stone Fruit did not revert to its original form after its master's defeat. It collapsed like a mountain, and the thousand-meter-tall behemoth was defeated by a clever trick.

"Why does it feel like it's getting dark again?"

"Usolando, run! We're about to be hit!"

Originally overwhelmed by the joy of victory, Usopp regained his senses before the mountain collapsed. Dragging his charred body, he quickly took off to race against the stone giant. If he was even slightly slower, he would be crushed under the wreckage.

Amidst a series of muffled rumbles, the dust and smoke from the stone giant's crashing fall shrouded King's Heights in a gray cloak. Usopp, having exerted every ounce of strength in his escape, narrowly escaped death.

The two survivors embraced each other. Leo hugged Usopp's face, and the little man's tears flowed freely, expressing his excitement and joy. "Usopp, you truly are a descendant of heroes. You are amazing! You even managed to defeat this monster."

Despite receiving endless praise, Usopp wore an arrogant and confident smile. He didn't even feel the pain from the cherry bombs, admiring his victory with a smug look on his face. He boasted, "Who do you think I am? I am the King of Snipers. Two more executives wouldn't be a match for me. I can easily take care of these little Karamis."

However, the two "victors" quickly stopped smiling, because they had not completely defeated Pica. A human hand reached out from the ruins of the stone giant, and a tall figure emanating steam stepped forward again.

"How is it possible that you're still alive?"

"That's quite a strong will."

The golden cross helmet that Pica was wearing had been burned off, leaving only half of it. Along with it, only half of his head remained, the other half still resembling a skeleton with flesh. There was a huge hole in his left shoulder. In this state, he was still alive.

"The young master's plan is not yet complete. How could I die here? He will surely become the king of this world."

Pica's voice was still as funny as ever, a stark contrast to his enormous size. But Usopp and Leo couldn't care less about mocking his voice right now, because something far more terrifying was unfolding before their eyes.

The enemy was emitting white steam, which was actually healing his injuries. It was so powerful that it could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones. Half of his skull was growing back to its original size, and even half of his missing bones were being repaired simultaneously.

This officer was also infused with the power of the Titans by Eren. As long as Pica wasn't instantly killed, he was granted the ability to fight again after doing sit-ups. Those who possess the power of the Titans are all incredibly resilient.

Chapter 164 Light from the Universe

With such a commotion, and Diamante still not arriving to provide support, Pica realized that his colleague was likely in grave danger. As one of Doflamingo's four top executives, he couldn't just fall like that. His strong inner conviction transcended physical limitations, allowing him to overcome the pain and persevere until now.

“I underestimated you before, and you won’t have a second chance once you’ve succeeded the first time,” Pica said, his body emitting white steam as golden arcs of electricity crackled at his wounds.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Usopp was suddenly surprised. "You can also transform into a giant? This isn't the power of a Devil Fruit."

A person can only have one Devil Fruit power. There is currently only one exception to this ironclad rule: Pica, a high-ranking executive, is not included in this rule. However, despite being a Paramecia-type Stone-Stone Fruit user, he was able to imitate Eren and have a prelude to transforming into a Titan.

Memories of the Thousand Sunny flashed through his mind, recalling the contents of the Poneglyphs that Robin had told everyone. The King of Men could bestow the power of the Titans upon humanity, so everything made sense.

Usopp rummaged through his pockets and found nothing but a Tontatta creature. He was at his wit's end, muttering to himself about his teammates, "Why isn't that idiot Zoro here yet? I really can't hold on any longer."

A golden bolt of lightning struck Pica from above, and in the face of the raging power of heaven and earth, this Don Quixote family executive was completely gigantic in their eyes.

This giant was covered in hard armor, and with this absolute defensive posture, it was unknown whether Usopp could break through this hardened defense, not to mention that he didn't even have a cherry bomb.

"It's not as big as the stone giant from before, but why does it feel even more oppressive to me? Usopp, should we run?" Leo had already noticed the hero's fear. Running away at this moment wasn't shameful; it was just a strategic retreat.

Where to escape to? Pica wasn't about to let his target get away. He transformed into the Armored Titan and slammed his fist into the ground. The power of the Stone-Stone Fruit was greatly amplified, and the entire earth began to move up and down.

The terrain around Usopp suddenly began to rise, and the earth and rocks seemed to come alive, trying to surround the enemy from all sides and bury the two insects into the earth.

In this perilous moment, he leaped into the air, the surrounding rocks moving faster than the tide, threatening to bury him completely. The moment of truth had arrived: "Corn Cannon, target the giant, fire!"

The last seed sown sprouted and grew into a giant corn plant. It split its branches and leaves, using the corn as a missile, and concentrated all its energy into this corn missile. It was a plant weapon with a built-in enemy-locking function that burst forth.

The Armored Titan spotted a yellow stick flying towards him from afar. This time, he learned his lesson and stopped showing off, instead raising his arms in front of his face to block the corn missile attack.

When the corn-shaped missile struck the giant's arm, a strange chemical reaction occurred between them, creating an explosion with power dozens of times greater than that of a cherry bomb. This ignited around the Armored Titan, turning the entire giant's body into a fireball.

The earth returned to calm once more. Usopp and Leo were almost surrounded by the sea of ​​stones. Fortunately, they were now focused on their target, the Armored Titan, who had lost both arms and was now burning up. He stood motionless in place.

"Is this over?"

"He's burned to this extent and he's still not dead?"

Pica is trapped in a sea of ​​fire inside the Giant of Kael'thas. His indomitable will is being forged in the flames. He cannot fall here, he cannot lose!

"Ahhh..." The Armored Titan roared amidst the sea of ​​fire, expressing its defiance against this unfair world. Pica would continue fighting for Doflamingo until its life came to an end.

The terrifying Stone-Stone Fruit awakened once more, and the surrounding land was absorbed by the Giant of Armor. The damage and flames caused by the Corn Missiles were covered and extinguished by it, and Pica returned to his Stone Giant form.

Pica's physical strength had reached its limit, so he had no choice but to forcibly use his Devil Fruit ability, even at the cost of his life and potential. He might only be able to use it once in his life. If he held back at this moment, he would never have another chance. Soon, the stone giant returned to his thousand-meter-tall form.

However, this was not his limit. Pica's stone body continued to expand, and he wanted to take the entire King's Highlands into his body, and then further absorb the entire Dressrosa. In order to defeat the Sniper King in front of him, he had to go all out.

"If he keeps going like this, he'll destroy the entire island."

"I don't have a single seed in me right now, so I can't stop him at all. Pica has gone mad."

Usopp could only stand there, watching his enemy gradually increase his strength and expand his body. He had no way to counterattack, and the thought of returning to the ship naturally popped into his mind. This defeatism lingered in his heart.

The heroes can escape by boat, but Dressrosa is the land where the Tontatta people have lived for generations. Once they lose the land they depend on for survival, where can the Tontatta people go even if they are liberated by the heroes?

That kind of life of wandering is still a good outcome. They will most likely end up in the hands of human traffickers, making the little people one of the best-selling commodities. It's only a matter of time before the Tontatta tribe is wiped out.

Leo, skin and bones, stood on Usopp's shoulder, tears streaming down his face again. He hated his weakness, hated why he needed someone else to save him. Couldn't the Tontatta save themselves?

"Huh..." Amid the tontatta's puzzled exclamation, Leo noticed a ring on his finger. The ring was shaped like a lion's head and kept flashing. It was originally something from Usopp's pocket, so why did it suddenly appear on him?

Not wanting to be mistaken for a thief, when Leo was about to remove the ring, the little man was instantly pulled into a white space, a place that transcended the concepts of time and space, where a majestic giant of light appeared before him.

"Can your tears defeat that guy?"

This giant of light, like a god, questioned Leo's heart, but brought no sense of oppression to the dwarfs, let alone any threat.

"I tried to rebel three years ago, but our little race was not strong enough. I caused the deaths of many of my companions. I am a sinner of the Tontatta race," Leo knelt before the Giant of Light to repent. This matter had been tormenting him. Was it really wrong to take the initiative to resist?

"I can lend you power, but your body is too weak and you will pay the price. Do you still want to continue to resist?"

The Giant of Light stretched out a finger toward the dwarfs. Leo was enveloped in this warm light. Before the god, he rediscovered his true self and stretched out a finger to touch the Giant of Light's finger as well. This was the first contact between the dwarfs and the god.

Power from beyond this planet, the light of the multiverse, flowed into Leo's body. He believed the boy of light would never fail.

Chapter 165 Ultraman Leo

Pica descended into a final state of madness, determined to assimilate the island of Dressrosa and to sacrifice his own life to eliminate the Straw Hat crew as an obstacle for his young master.

Having absorbed a large amount of soil and rocks, the stone man's body has swelled to a height of ten thousand meters. If his spellcasting is not interrupted, the home on which the dwarf race depends for survival will cease to exist.

"It's so hot..." Usopp felt the burning heat on his shoulder. He saw that Leo, who was originally just skin and bones, was now radiating a dazzling light. Could this be a special ability of the Tontatta tribe?

After completely merging the light into his body, Leo transformed into a starlight, flying off Usopp's shoulder towards the Pica Stone Giant. As the captain of the Dwarf race, he was determined to fight for his race to the very end.

Leo, the little man, and the Giant of Light are still in the white space. If he wants to use the power of the light of the universe, he must call out the name of the Giant of Light.

"My name is Ultraman Leo. Ultraman is my race, and it just so happens that we share the same name. Use my ring to transform and protect your home!"

The Giant of Light injected a lot of information into Leo's mind. He had already figured out how to use the ring and how to transform. However, he did not expect that he would have such a deep connection with the Giant of Light. It was a wonderful coincidence that the two of them shared the same name.

Leo raised his arms high in the air, the golden eyes of the lion on his ring shining brightly. The little man mustered his last strength and shouted the name of the giant of light: "Leo! Leo! Ultraman Leo!"

A dazzling light burst forth from Leo's body. Usopp put on his goggles to check what had happened to his underling. In the light, he saw the figure of a red giant.

After the light completely faded, Ultraman Leo made a dazzling appearance. Although this giant was only sixty meters tall, the powerful aura he exuded made him seem like a golden lion, someone no one dared to underestimate.

"Can dwarfs become giants?" Today's events have somewhat shattered Usopp's worldview. He always manages to see things he's never seen before, and he feels that the red giant Leo has become isn't a creature of this world.

[The little people outside the light barrier hugged each other and cheered. The power of the giant of light was so great that it could make the little people grow to such a huge size.]

However, his guess was quickly confirmed. Leo contacted Usopp telepathically without saying a word, saying, "Usorento, thank you for bringing me the power of Ultraman Leo. The power of the Giant of Light can only last for three minutes. Let's fight side by side and completely protect Dressrosa."

Ultraman Leo?! Usopp only understood the first two words, but now was not the time to delve into it. Since Leo could draw strength from other sources, they should try it out before Zoro arrived.

"Then let's break his turtle shell first and pull Pica out from inside."

Ultraman Leo nodded in Usopp's direction, and the red giant strode towards the enemy. Although the enemy in front of him was tens of thousands of meters tall, this kind of monster was the easiest to deal with in front of Ultraman.

In order to conserve Ultraman's energy, Leo gave up using beam attacks and chose to send out the fighting master Ultraman Leo to tear the enemy apart with physical means.

The red giant arrived in front of the monster and, without any fancy moves, threw a punch straight at it. The seemingly hard body of the stone monster was pierced through by Ultraman's punch.

As the Armored Giant sensed the destruction caused by Ultraman outside, it felt a chill run down its spine for the first time. "What is this thing? Is this red giant another human king in this world?"

Pica didn't sit idly by and wait to die. He swung his two thousand-meter-long stone arms, trying to crush the red giant to death. But he underestimated Ultraman Leo's power.

The red giant grabbed the stone man's arms and used a joint lock to break them off with a loud snap. He then continued to demolish the stone man's body. Pica couldn't recover the speed at which Ultraman dug the mountain with his bare hands.
