One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Smoker never took Buggy the Clown, this incompetent Shichibukai, seriously from the start. He changed his plans at the last minute and went to Punk Hazard to capture Vergo, a traitor with the rank of Vice Admiral, for the Navy. He was complacent about the results of his unauthorized actions, unaware that the Navy Admiral had picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon.

"What do you mean? I personally captured Impel Down. I know about that useless Devil Fruit ability of his. Tina and Tashigi are strong enough to handle him." Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Smoker also temporarily summoned Vice Admiral Fire Mountain and Vice Admiral Onigumo. Can't four Marine Vice Admirals deal with a comical clown?

He was confident in the strength of his fellow Marines. In Smoker's eyes, Buggy might not even be able to defeat a Marine captain. The more troublesome thing was that Buggy had gathered a group of pirates around him. These people were released by Luffy and his crew from Impel Down. Their overall strength was stronger than that of ordinary small pirates. It would take more time to deal with this newly promoted Shichibukai force and clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.

The Navy was quite confident in its intelligence capabilities, and Smoker, being an arrogant man, thought that Vergo's words were merely an attempt to unsettle the admiral.

"Since you have nothing more to say, then go down there and wait for Doflamingo. I will join forces with Admiral Kin to send him on his way." Smoker didn't have time to play the saint with Vergo. He grabbed the traitor by the neck with one hand, and colorless and odorless carbon monoxide gas entered the other's body.

Even without the admiral exerting force, Vergo soon showed signs of suffocation. His gasping for breath was useless, as carbon monoxide would first combine with oxygen and red blood cells. Within a short time, the traitor showed symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, and his brain, deprived of oxygen, would quickly stop functioning.

With this cruel, execution-like torture, Vergo suffocated to death in just two minutes without uttering a sound. Before he died, his eyes bulged out, and his face was pale and bloodless. Doflamingo, the leader of the Red Hearts, ended his life in such an undignified manner.

“Dead men talk a lot of nonsense, but unfortunately you are ultimately a weakling.” Smoker casually tossed Vergo’s body into the sea, watching the naval traitor sink before turning his attention to a strange, unusual fish.

While Smoker and Vergo were locked in combat, a fighting fish nearly twenty meters long suddenly entered the fray and swallowed the mad scientist Caesar Courland whole. This was not a predatory act; it was a rescue right under the nose of a naval admiral.

The three experimental subjects created by Caesar Cullen also sank to the bottom of the sea along with the prison ship. As for the fate of these fishmen, it is impossible to track them down, but Smoker cannot let this strange fish escape now.

Just as the man was about to use the smoke accelerator to rush over, Smoker's private Den Den Mushi suddenly rang. This was a secret known to very few people, and whenever it rang, something important was sure to happen.

A woman's anxious voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Smoker, we've been tricked! If you don't come soon, we're all going to die here! Bucky the Clown, he…!" Before she could finish, the Den Den Mushi abruptly disconnected due to some unforeseen event.

Chapter 210 Golden Arhat

Tina, the female navy officer who loves to drink, often drags Smoker out for heavy drinking sessions. This is the first time he has heard his friend sound so flustered, and since she doesn't usually joke around, things must be really bad.

Recalling Vergo's dying words, Smoker could only think the worst: Could Bucky the Joker be plotting something to lure the naval force that was besieging him into a trap?

The admiral still looks down on Bucky, still thinking of him as a weak clown. However, Smoker still decides to go there himself to rescue the monster fish that Caesar Clown has taken away. Other naval colleagues will have to deal with it.

Upon seeing Admiral Arkin appear among the naval survivors, Smoker turned his body into white smoke and accelerated to his side. He wanted to let his comrades know that he had left the battlefield rashly, so as not to let them think that the man was a deserter.

After Smoker approached the man, the man spoke first, explaining his purpose: "I'm sorry, Arkin, I can only leave this to you alone. Tina might have been ambushed by Bucky the Clown. After all, he's my mission, and I need to handle it personally." He then added that Caesar Cullen had been rescued by a strange fish, and Arkin needed to send someone to capture those two scoundrels. The mad scientist had to be alive; his secrets still needed to be uncovered.

"Smoker, you go ahead. I'll make Doflamingo stop, and I also have a reliable ally," said Gin, who had sharp eyes. He spotted a figure wearing a straw hat chasing after the Founding Titan, which was 10,000 meters tall.

Although the admiral did not understand the workings of the Rumbling, it was not hard to guess that as long as the Founding Titan was stopped and his guardian Doflamingo was killed, all the tragedies before them would end. Too many people had already died today, and no more innocent lives could be lost in vain.

General White Horse transformed into an invisible gas, using smoke propulsion to quickly leave the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon, heading towards the Iron Island base of the clown Bucky.

After watching his colleagues leave, Gin used his Logia-type Rain-Rain Fruit to bring down a light rain on the vast sea. Each drop of rain that fell into the sea was transmitted through the ripples, allowing the Marine Admiral to sense changes in the deep sea. He easily discovered the strange fish that Smoker had mentioned. "It really hid well. It actually held its breath and hid in the sea. You really can't detect it with ordinary Observation Haki. It's a pity you met me."

This fighting fish, which only stretches for twenty meters, isn't worth the Navy Admiral's personal attention. Gin needs to go after the Founding Giant who has gone far away. That skeletal giant is the most troublesome target right now. It's not safe for Straw Hat Luffy to deal with Doflamingo alone. This Shichibukai is too cunning; who knows what kind of schemes he might pull.

"Helmeppo, you've handed over the Celestial Dragon's brother to someone else. I know you're good at naval warfare, so I'll give you a position: pull that monster fish out of the sea. All you need to do is keep Caesar Clown alive inside its mouth. As for the other marines, search for survivors on the island. The upcoming war isn't suitable for you to participate in," Admiral Akin said, transforming into a dark cloud and following the direction Straw Hat Luffy had left, joining him in the pursuit of the Founding Titan.

The surviving elite naval personnel knew their own limitations. They couldn't help in a battle between top-tier fighters; they would only distract Admiral Kin and expose more weaknesses to the enemy. If the navy became hostages of the enemy, that would be quite a spectacle. Since they couldn't help, they shouldn't make things worse.

Helmeppo, the bald, burly man, handed the Celestial Dragon on his shoulder to his naval colleague beside him, saying, "Be careful when you go to the island. I'll be right back."

Suddenly, a Zen staff and a Buddhist knife appeared in the man's hand. Under the gaze of the males, Helmeppo's clothes burst open, revealing his solid muscles. Due to the influence of the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Arhat Fruit, his body began to expand outward, bathed in a Buddhist light, and his height increased to about five meters, making him a small giant.

After making thorough preparations, Helmeppo jumped into the sea without hesitation. Logically speaking, when a Devil Fruit user jumps into the sea, it is seen as suicide by others. Although the fruit's power is not nullified in the face of the sea, it will cause the user to lose all strength and eventually sink into the sea and drown.

However, the surviving elite naval forces did not stop Helmeppo, nor did they go to sea to rescue their colleague. Those who knew him well knew that Helmeppo, like the fish-men, was extremely skilled in naval warfare. It was better to worry about his opponents than to worry about him.

"Let's go ashore. With the blessing of Buddha, Berumebo will catch up with us in no time."

"Helmeppo's luck is truly enviable. Although he became bald after eating a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, his strength is second only to a Marine Admiral."

"Entering the Buddhist kingdom is not easy. The fact that Berumebo was able to pass the test of those monks can only be said to be a stroke of good fortune."

The surviving marines chatted amongst themselves, then returned to the island with the burly Berserker. With the giant threat gone, Dressrosa was now the safest place. Rescuing survivors was one objective, but the exhausted marines needed rest even more. Too many had died, and their morale had been severely damaged. Marines weren't made of iron.

A halo of Buddha's light enveloped Berumebo, effectively protecting him from the influence of seawater. He had now become a golden Arhat, one of the sources of light in the deep sea. The man headed towards the underwater coordinates left to him by General Akin, towards the hiding place of the strange fish.

No longer needing to worry about oxygen and sea pressure, Bald Bellemere descended to a depth of nearly a thousand meters. In the sea, his eyes shone with a golden light, indistinguishable from a pair of searchlights, and he adapted to the darkness of the seabed from the very beginning.

Sensing the ripples in the water ahead, Bellemere knew that the strange fish had noticed his arrival. "You beast, you better die obediently!"

An ugly, monstrous fish opened its mouth wide in the sea, trying to swallow Berumeber whole. But how could the bald man let it have its way? He held his Zen staff and Buddhist knife in front of him to defend himself. A creature capable of devouring a golden Arhat has not yet been born.

The Zen staff and the monk's knife tore open the monster's jaw, causing a huge amount of blood to flow out of the seabed. However, the monster seemed to feel no pain and still tried desperately to swallow Berumebo whole, but the golden-bodied Arhat would not give it that chance.

"Arhat Fist - Subduing the Tiger"

The moment this move was unleashed, a massive tiger-shaped phantom flew out from Helmeppo's body. It pierced through the monster fish's head with terrifying Buddhist light, shattering the creature's upper body. The creature didn't even have a chance to react, let alone receive healing from the power of the Human King.

Helmeppo, that bald, simpleton, was unaware that he had killed the last Don Quixote Family executive. Dellinger, in his dying moments, only saw the image of the golden tiger; he didn't even have a chance to say a final word before joining the rest of the family in the afterlife.

Chapter 211 Going around in circles

[A Buddhist kingdom, a country composed of monks, is unheard of on the high seas. However, many people are not surprised by the discussions about the new navy. Due to the barriers of the world's oceans, transportation between islands is inconvenient, and there is little communication between them. Many islands still retain their original environment, such as the existence of dinosaurs. It is not surprising that they have any kind of national system.]

The Warring States Marshal is a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit in the form of Buddha. It's hard not to associate this strategist with the Buddhist Kingdom. Five years later, Helmeppo passed the monks' test and obtained the Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit in the form of Arhat. There are probably some reasons behind this that few people know.

However, the combat performance of Bellemeremon far exceeded the expectations of the Naval Staff. As for the Buddha's light blocking the influence of the seawater, such a thing had never happened before. Sometimes, even Vice Admiral Tsuru felt that he was ignorant and wondered if he should step down from his position as Chief of Staff.

Tina, who had no mission at the moment, approached Smoker and looked her friend up and down with a suspicious gaze. She couldn't see any potential in him to become a Marine Admiral. However, her death was related to his negligence. Although this was something that would happen in the future, women could be used as leverage to blackmail others. This was the power of version T0!

"As expected, you've gotten too cocky since becoming a Marine Admiral. Without your arrogance, the Marines wouldn't have been wiped out in the Iron Blood War. How are you going to make up for such a serious mistake? You know, my head was cut off by Bucky the Clown. Tina wants to drink today." The Marine's most handsome man pinched Smoker's cheek with his fingers. He really didn't know when the dead smoker would come to his senses.

Tashigi is here as a third wheel, but the female swordsman is oblivious to this. Whenever she thinks about being torn apart by Bucky the Joker in the future, this bespectacled beauty can't be happy, and she has no mood to drink with her boss.

Everyone is afraid of death, regardless of their identity. Tashigi wanted to experience the feeling of aging naturally and didn't want to leave this world so early. This woman decided that she would follow in Smoker's footsteps from now on, at least she would be safer by his side. Going on missions alone was out of the question!

"Drinking again? Didn't I treat you to drinks yesterday? You've already drained my salary. And can't you come up with a different excuse? You always use things that haven't happened yet to pressure me." Smoker puffed on two cigars. Instead of drinking with women, he would rather study the Sky Screen carefully. He couldn't miss any information on it, because who knows when it might be needed.

Tina pouted, looking unhappy. Smoker, that clueless jerk, this female navy woman decided to settle things with her fists. "Tina is very angry now, Tina wants to fight you."

Afterwards, the two students from the Zephyr training class went to the Navy's usual training ground to begin their sparring session for the day. Tina felt that she could still hold her own against Smoker, but once that blockhead figured out the tricks of her Smoke-Smoke Fruit, the gap in their strength would widen. Since she could gain an advantage now, she should act quickly.

Tashigi watched silently from the sidelines, occasionally glancing at the changes on the sky. Like Helmeppo, she was from the East Blue, and Helmeppo had risen to the level of a Marine Admiral simply by eating a single Devil Fruit. If there were a suitable Devil Fruit for a swordsman, she resolved to try and get one.

In his golden Arhat form, Helmeppo easily defeated the strange fish in front of him with a single move. Since it was transformed by Deringer using the power of the Beast Giant, after the successor died, half of the fish's body began to vaporize on the spot, and the scales and flesh melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the bare white bones on the fish's body.

"If you don't want to die, don't struggle. Without my help, you'll sink to the bottom of the sea forever." The golden-bodied Arhat with piercing eyes scanned the figure inside the fish's belly. The other party should be the target that General Ajin had instructed him to target.

Caesar Courland was still handcuffed with seastone. He had survived while hiding inside a fish, but now he was completely exposed in the deep sea. Under the pressure of the ocean floor thousands of meters deep, this fragile scientist wouldn't last more than a few seconds. "This navy gentleman must save me. I am still useful to the navy. You must not underestimate the power of technology. Please don't leave me at the bottom of the sea."

Just as the man was about to choke on the water, Berumebo, bathed in the Buddha's light, swam to his side, grabbed Caesar Courland's hair with one hand, shared the benefits brought by the Buddha's light with him, and then began to float up while maintaining this posture.

They swam thousands of meters by the scientist's hair, during which Caesar Courant felt as if his scalp was being ripped off. They didn't know how many strands of hair they had sacrificed before finally surfacing and breathing in the long-awaited fresh air. The scientist felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

Bellemere prepared to escort the prisoner ashore. This time, he released Caesar Courland's hair and grabbed the man's collar instead, swimming towards the unrecognizable shore of Dressrosa. Fortunately, their starting point was not far away, and after swimming for about five minutes, their feet were back on the ground.

Soaked to the bone, Caesar Courland plopped down on the shore. The bizarre experiences of the past few days had been like a rollercoaster ride for the scientist, with his emotions going up and down until he finally couldn't escape the Navy's control. His three most prized experimental subjects had been returned to the sea. Such perfect experimental materials were really hard to find at sea.

Helmeppo didn't intend to make things difficult for Caesar Clown. He was just curious about where the three fish-men had gone. It was a real pity that the pseudo-admirals weren't under the control of the Navy. "You and those three test subjects sank into the sea together. Why didn't they come to save you, their master? Did they sink into the sea because of the effects of the Devil Fruit?"

The scientist wrung out the water from his clothes, and Caesar Clown did not choose to hide anything and answered: "The three of them were originally fish-men of a special race. They were injected with the bloodline factors of the three admirals. They are not 100% Devil Fruit power, but they still retain their fish-man characteristics and can fight at sea. My experimental subjects will probably choose to return to their homeland."

Returning home? That means going back to Fishman Island, adding three more variables to this ocean kingdom. Moreover, the other side is located below the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. The Celestial Dragons don't want a landmine planted under their feet. Sooner or later, they will intervene in Fishman Island, and then the Navy might have to clean up the mess.

However, all of the above issues were headaches for the Navy's high command. Helmeppo was even more worried about where those colossal Titans, each over 100 meters tall, were going, and how much land would be trampled upon. The man could only hope that Admiral Kin would quickly defeat Doflamingo and restore peace to the world.

Chapter 212 Shirley's Prophecy

The colossal giants travel at speeds far exceeding everyone's imagination, propelled by steam. Each one is like a giant torpedo, swimming faster than a fish in the ocean.

The Rumbling unleashed by Eren is a global phenomenon. Anyone who drinks red wine containing his spinal fluid will have their Titan power activated, regardless of their current location, causing chaos in their immediate vicinity and buying time for the Colossal Titan to eventually flatten the world.

Fishman Island, which was in a semi-closed state, was somewhat affected. The pirates who had been to Dressrosa were still lusting after the mermaids and wanted to use some underhanded means to kidnap them, since the underground human trafficking business was the number one money-making business on this sea.

These pirates heading to Fishman Street were remotely influenced by the Founding Giant and transformed into giants, bringing bloodshed and chaos to this district that had just experienced a rebellion. Even though the giants didn't like to eat humanoid creatures like fishmen, most buildings were reduced to ruins wherever these painless monsters went.

"Where did these giants come from? They're actually eating people!" The mermaid was terrified when she saw the giants eating people. She had never known that the giants had such a barbaric hobby in all her years of life.

The strong fish-men, whose homes were destroyed, stood up to protect their home and launched an attack on the giant with their handy weapons. However, since the fish-men were not skilled in merman karate, their attacks had limited effect on the giant, and the small wounds they caused were quickly healed by steam.

"When did giants learn to heal themselves? What kind of monsters are these?"

"Let me go, you monster! Someone save me!"

"My God, these giants even eat fish-men!"

The giant's sudden change of hunting target caused trouble for a group of fishmen who were just watching the spectacle. These weaklings, powerless as chickens, could only scatter and flee to the deepest part of Fishman Island to seek the protection of stronger beings in the deep sea.

Prince Shark Star immediately led the army of the Fishman Kingdom to suppress the rioting giants. He wanted to protect his people from harm, which was his mother, Queen Otohime's, entrustment to her son before his departure.

"Mermaid Jujutsu - Super Current!" Prince Shark Star controlled the current around him, which then formed a huge whirlpool that swept in the giants who were about to devour the kingdom's citizens. The hostages were quickly thrown out by the current, but the giants who were the target were not so lucky. A minute later, they were turned into a pool of blood by the terrifying whirlpool.

There were only about fifty giants causing trouble in Fishman Island. Under the full force of Prince Shark Star's suppression, the chaos was quickly quelled, and the semi-closed Fishman Island returned to peace once again. As for how many pirates died this time, no one cared.

The damaged houses caused by the giants need to be cleaned up, and the Mermaid King needs to generously allocate funds. He can't let his people sleep on the streets forever; that would be too undignified and would damage King Neptune's dignity. The kind-hearted Queen Otohime, who has been resurrected, will not disappoint her people.

After the Straw Hat crew's reorganization and elimination, the anti-King forces within the Fish-Man Kingdom were thoroughly eradicated. Princess Shirahoshi was now able to freely enter and leave Fish-Man Island. Currently, there are no fish within the kingdom that can threaten the royal family. Vander Decken IX, that narcissistic and perverted man, ended up dying a gruesome death. If he had a grave, it would be overgrown with weeds by now.

Queen Otohime was resurrected after being struck by Tenseiga, much to the delight of the people of the Fish-Man Kingdom. Having such a kind ruler to manage everything was far better than King Neptune doing nothing and shirking his duties. His Majesty wisely delegated power to the Queen. This merman, whose brains were all muscle, was not afraid that his wife would plot to seize power.

At this moment, Queen Otohime is sitting with a rather aloof and beautiful mermaid. The other party is the manager of the Mermaid Cafe and also a mysterious fortune teller. Lady Shirley's name is known to everyone on Fishman Island.

Although Shirley cannot predict the exact time of the event, her divination and prophecy are 100% accurate. She once predicted the death of Queen Otohime and the birth of Princess Shirahoshi. This time, inviting her to the Mermaid Palace is even more formal.

Queen Otohime, a mermaid, is less than two meters tall. Even Shirley, a mermaid, is half a body taller than her. However, the three children the queen gave birth to are all bigger than the other. It's hard to know how she and King Neptune had children. The size of the children is not matched. However, this seems to be more common in the mermaid kingdom. Is it because of oviparity?

"Shirley invited you here today because she wants you to divine the future of Mermaid Island. I've been having a bad feeling lately, and I hope the divination can give me some answers."

After Queen Otohime was resurrected from the dead, she had more things to think about and worry about. The cause she left behind before her death was completely ruined, which really made this woman very heartbroken. The barriers between races cannot be overcome by the efforts of one side alone. Donquixote Musgard Saint's voice was relatively weak among the Celestial Dragons, and he did not make much progress in improving the living environment of Fish-Man Island.

As Ah Long's younger sister, Shirley hates fortune telling because every prediction she makes ends in bad. Repeatedly foreseeing misfortune would make any living being depressed. This mermaid is so obsessed with not seeing it that she just wants to live her life to the fullest.

However, she still had to fulfill Queen Otohime's request. She was willing to dedicate her strength to this kind ruler. The mermaid took out the prepared crystal ball and began to perform a ritual to communicate with the mysterious beings in the dark. After closing her eyes, the woman gradually saw some blurry future.

During the time she closed her eyes, Shirley trembled all over, and cold sweat of fear broke out on her beautiful face. Princess Otohime saw the changes in the other party's tension, but she did not dare to disturb the fortune teller. She could only sit opposite her and quietly wait for the divination results.

"Ah...no...ah...they've all gone mad!" The crystal ball in front of Shirley shattered instantly, bursting into countless tiny crystals by some mysterious force. The divination tool was destroyed, freeing the diviner. The mermaid almost didn't make it back.
