Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 179 The Gluttony Fruit Awakens, Domain Unfolds (5k)

The strong winds whipped up dust and smoke throughout the entire Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

but……

like water off a duck's back!

The two Five Elders who fought against Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, were a short, stout Five Elder who was extremely skilled in physical combat and Haki, and a bald Five Elder who was a master swordsman who wielded the first generation Kitetsu.

Either one of them was very difficult for Monkey D. Dragon, who had eaten a Logia-type Devil Fruit, to deal with!

If it weren't for Fisher Tiger occasionally rushing into the battlefield where the three were fighting, each time being sent flying without any resistance but always managing to get up and run back to support them, Dragon would have been defeated and killed by the two powerful enemies long ago.

Even so, the leader of the revolutionary army was still in trouble.

"hiss--"

The sword energy that brought with it a tearing, whirlwind startled Suzuki, causing him to focus intently on defending against the impending attack.

boom!!!

He raised his twin blades to block the terrifying sword energy, but he was still forced to slide hundreds of meters across the ground, adding another long ravine to the Red Earth Continent.

"That's really... impressive..."

Suzuki's expression was serious.

He now faces two enemies: Figarando Grimold, the leader of the Knights of God, who is comparable to Whitebeard at his peak, and the Five Elders, who have eaten Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits and can also be called monsters.

No matter which enemy it is, it can easily stand at the top of the ocean today.

And the collaboration between these two is, without exaggeration,

Even if the world's strongest man, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, and the deceased Pirate King Gol D. Roger were to fight together, the outcome would still be uncertain.

"Traveler! Surrender!"

Seeing Figarando Grimm, who was attacking again, and the Five Elders who had turned into spider heads, Suzuki's expression turned serious. He focused his attention and fought the two terrifying enemies with all his might.

……

Meanwhile, at the foot of the cliffs on the Red Earth continent.

Suzuki and Monkey D. Dragon were not the only ones caught in a fierce battle.

The revolutionary cadres and the slaves who escaped from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise faced an even more dire situation.

"No, no!"

"My Lord Five Elders, I was wrong, I was wrong, sob sob sob..."

"My lord, I won't run away anymore, can I go back? Please, please spare me, sob sob sob..."

"ah--"

Although Bartholomew Kuma had already sent away many slaves, some slaves were still blocked by the approaching Five Elders before they could be sent flying.

Long-term oppression and abuse had long instilled fear of the Celestial Dragons in the slaves.

Moreover, the ones who have arrived now are the Five Elders, the most esteemed among the Celestial Dragons, who control the World Government and whose strength appears to be formidable.

The fear ingrained in their very bones prevented many slaves from even fighting, and they knelt on the deck, begging for mercy from the five blond elders.

"snort!"

"Do a bunch of sinners deserve to live?"

The blond Five Elders snorted coldly, glancing indifferently at the begging slave:

"From the moment you stepped out of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, you could no longer exist on this sea!"

"Death is the only destination for you sinners!"

After saying that, the five golden-haired elders casually launched an attack on the slaves, preparing to wipe out all these eyesores of insects.

However, at that moment, Bartholomew Bear rushed up and stopped him.

"Bang!"

The next instant, the terrifying collision caused the sea to surge violently.

The cries and wails of the slaves increased.

"Hey, can you guys shut up?"

Karas (Raven), the commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army, shouted at the slaves with exasperation, then looked at the Big Bear and the Five Elders who were fighting, gritted his teeth and charged forward.

"Imazuna, go protect those people. This is not a battle you can interfere in."

The transvestite king, Ivankov, solemnly gave instructions to his subordinate, Imazuna.

He then looked at his old friend Bartholomew Kuma, who was struggling against the Five Elders, his eyes resolute, and said with an exaggerated expression:

"How can we let a bear fight such a monster all by itself?"

"Hehe... Five Elders, your Queen is here!"

The transvestite king, Ivankov, with ballet-like steps, rushed towards the battlefield without hesitation.

"Queen……"

Behind her, Imazuna's eyes were filled with worry.

The battles of the strong are beyond the reach of the weak.

The slaves and some of the revolutionary army were completely unable to get close to the battlefield where the cadres fighting the five golden-haired elders were fighting. Even the aftershocks forced them to fight with all their might just to survive.

On a wooden sailboat that was being violently tossed about by the waves, the three Boa Hancock sisters huddled together, their eyes filled with terror.

"ah--"

The second sister, Boa Sandersonia, was almost thrown off, but luckily her older sister, Boa Hancock, held her tightly.

"Sister...sister, waaaaah..."

When the youngest, Boa Marigold, saw this horrifying scene, she clung even tighter to her older sister Hancock's hand, and couldn't help but cry.

"Sister, are we going to die...?"

Boa Hancock glanced at the turbulent sea nearby, then looked down at her sister's tear-streaked face, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.

But this future pirate empress quickly became determined.

"No, no!" Boa Hancock hugged her sister tightly, gritting her teeth, her eyes resolute as she said, "We will definitely get back to Amazon Lily, and I will absolutely bring you back!"

Not far away.

Even with the combined efforts of all the Revolutionary Army cadres, the situation was still very dangerous under the attack of the five golden-haired elders.

At this time, Bartholomew Kuma, one of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea, had not yet reached his peak, and he had already expended a lot of energy during the process of flying the sailboat.

Ivankov, the transvestite king, and the other revolutionary army cadres also appeared quite immature.

Before the five golden-haired elders who had reached the pinnacle of the sea for countless years, the revolutionary army cadres could only take turns blocking attacks and facing the terrifying enemy before them.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you guys to actually amount to something."

"As expected, we can't keep them!"

The five blond elders' eyes flashed with murderous intent, and they felt an intense desire to kill the revolutionary army members who could hold him back.

Boom boom boom!!!

The clashes and attacks of the group made it difficult for the sea to remain calm.

"And you, Kuma, I never expected you to be a member of the Revolutionary Army." The blond Five Elders looked at Bartholomew Kuma, who had once again blocked his attack, and his face turned cold. "Damn it!"

"..."

Bartholomew Xiong did not respond.

He glanced silently at the sheer cliff where boulders and chunks of red clay were falling from the sky, and a look of anxiety crept onto his face.

If just one of the Five Elders is so terrifying that even when they joined forces, they could only barely hold their own, what kind of predicament would Monkey D. Dragon and Suzuki face when confronted by four Five Elders on the Red Line?

Mr. Dragon... Mr. Traveler...

You all have to be alright!

Bartholomew Bear's eyes were filled with worry.

boom--

The attack interrupted Kuma's worries, and the group of revolutionary army cadres had to struggle against the five golden-haired elders once again.

The battlefield is not far away.

A dozen or so wooden sailing ships that hadn't had time to leave were carrying numerous slaves, bobbing violently on the turbulent sea.

It looked as if it would be overturned by the waves and sink to the bottom of the sea at any moment.

……

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

bang——

Suzuki, who dodged the venomous attack in the blink of an eye, was slammed into the ground by the heavy sword energy of Figarando Grimguin, the leader of the Knights of God, who seized the opportunity.

The terrifying attack kicked up huge plumes of smoke and dust, with rubble and dirt flying everywhere.

"Cough cough..."

"It's so heavy!"

In the nearly 100-meter-deep pit, Suzuki spat out a mouthful of blood, then rubbed his hands expressionlessly.

Under the combined attack of Figalando Grimm and one of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense, he inevitably became somewhat disheveled.

"Die, traveler!"

Above the deep pit, the Five Elders, wearing hats, roared furiously.

After glancing at the terrifying sword energy hurtling towards him and the deadly venom that nearly engulfed the entire pit, Suzuki stood still, offering no resistance.

He raised his hand, looking at the blood seeping from his palm, then looked down at his disheveled body covered in dust.

"All along..."

"During the climb, I always sought progress while maintaining a steady pace."

Suzuki crouched down and picked up the two swords.

The sword energy, hundreds of meters long, brought with it a tearing gale, and even before it arrived, it left tiny sword marks on the rock walls of the deep pit.

"And now..."

"I have reached the summit, and there is no road ahead."

With a calm expression, Suzuki slowly walked out of the pit, blood seeping from his palms and dripping onto the ground from the tip of his knife.

The highly toxic, scarlet venom seemed to blot out the sky, completely obscuring the entire exit of the pit, even causing the soil to hiss and crackle from corrosion.

"When water overflows and reaches the sky, it is simply a natural progression for me."

"but……"

"Sometimes, taking a decisive step and making a leap might be a good choice."

The voice just fell.

The air suddenly rippled, and an invisible, intangible force emanated from Suzuki, gradually spreading throughout the deep pit.

Fine dust particles drifted in the air, but inexplicably disappeared the moment they came into contact with the ripples.

With each step Suzuki took, a bottomless black hole appeared beneath his feet, and the nearby scarlet venom vanished silently and eerily.

The sword energy, hundreds of meters long, attacked, but in the next moment it seemed to be swallowed up by some unseen monster, and an inexplicable gap appeared just wide enough for a person to pass through.

Then, the sword energy, split in two, continued to slash towards the bottom of the pit, carving out two trenches that were over a thousand meters long!

"That is..."

Above the pit, Figalando Green Ancient Saint and the God of Scientific Defense looked down at the scene below, their eyes filled with horror.

"The Awakening of the Paramecia!"

As the leader of the Knights of God and one of the Five Elders standing at the pinnacle of the world, the two have a considerable understanding of the abilities of Devil Fruits.

At this moment, in the pit below, isn't that strange scene the awakened state of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?

Whether it's the mysterious disappearance of the sword energy or the venom seemingly being swallowed up, there's no doubt that it's the effect of the awakened Paramecia-type Devil Fruit on the external world.

After using their Observation Haki to detect the gap in the soil beneath Suzuki's feet, the two became even more convinced of their theory.

"No!" Figarando Grimmjow exclaimed gravely, "We absolutely cannot allow him to successfully awaken!"

"Kill him now!"

Knowing how much combat power awakening the Devil Fruit would bring, the Five Elders' faces contorted with rage. As soon as they finished speaking, they disregarded everything and rushed straight into the deep pit.

Figarando Greene's eyes were sharp, and he gripped his rapier tightly, unleashing a frenzied aura of dominance.

The captain of the God Knights used the Moonwalk technique of the Six Styles of the Navy to its fullest extent. The next second, as if defying the laws of physics, he was inexplicably hanging upside down in mid-air, and the air was actually made to make a sonic boom by his posture.

With a white, circular shockwave beneath his feet, Figarando Grimold descended at a speed faster than a falling meteor!

"So this is what it feels like to awaken a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user."

Suzuki lowered his head, his gaze deep as he examined the twin swords in his hands, seemingly oblivious to the approaching two formidable enemies.

At this moment, he was only one step away from stepping out of the pit.

"die!"

Just then, Figarando Greene arrived at Suzuki's side faster than the Five Elders. The commander of the Knights of God, his eyes filled with murderous intent, swung his rapier at Suzuki with an unstoppable force.

Even the air was cleaved apart by this terrifying sword strike, and white air currents flowed backward along the sharp blade like wings.

At the same time, a dark gray light shield suddenly expanded from Suzuki's center to a radius of several thousand meters, and then shrank back into his body in the blink of an eye.

next moment.

The sharp sword blade slashed swiftly, but the moment it struck, it seemed to plunge into an abyss.

Every sword that touched Suzuki's body mysteriously disappeared, as if swallowed up to some unknown place. Figarando Greene had slashed with his sword, and all that remained of the rapier in his hand was the short hilt he was holding tightly.

"How is that possible?!"

Figarando Greene looked down at the hilt of his sword and was immediately horrified.

The commander of the Knights of God reacted in a flash, hurriedly turning his head to shout at the approaching Five Elders wearing hats:

"Be careful! Don't go near him..."

"That's quite a display of domineering presence."

Suzuki raised his twin swords, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "I almost ate too much..."

Figarando Gringu had barely finished speaking when he was violently slashed away, his figure crashing into the bottom of the pit at supersonic speed in the blink of an eye, instantly stirring up a large amount of dust.

The sign of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit awakening is the ability to influence things outside of oneself.

The Swallow-Swallow Fruit's ability is to devour objects almost without limit and use them for its own purposes. However, because of this, the fruit is difficult to affect the outside world. It basically has to be swallowed and its power is exerted within the internal space of the body. Unlike other Paramecia-type fruits, it cannot attach fruit abilities to various parts of the body.

For example, Edward Newgate's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Doflamingo's String-String Fruit allow them to freely use their hands and feet.

However, everything changed after the awakening!

Suzuki just covered his body with the power of the Gluttony Fruit.

Nowadays, almost anything that touches him will be instantly devoured!

Even if powerful Haki can offset the power of a Devil Fruit to some extent, it still depends on the strength of the user.

Both Haki and Devil Fruit abilities rely on physical constitution and willpower to be used. Suzuki's strength allows him to infuse more power when using his abilities, and correspondingly, if the enemy wants to resist, they will naturally need to expend the same or even more power as Suzuki.

Figarando Greene was aware of this, which is why he anxiously reminded the Five Elders.

But clearly, he was a little too late in offering his advice.

"Damn it, the Traveler awakened so quickly?!"

The Five Elders, now transformed into giant spider heads, witnessed the bizarre scene and immediately stomped their eight hairy spider legs into the ground in an attempt to brake.

Dust swirled, and eight long trenches were carved into the ground. The Five Elders, who had rushed from thousands of meters away, suddenly stopped a hundred meters from the pit.

Suzuki took a step out of the pit, glanced at the Five Elders who were still standing there, narrowed his eyes, and decisively activated his Devil Fruit ability.

"Domain Expansion!"

A dark gray light shield spread from Suzuki's body, instantly covering an area of ​​several kilometers in radius.

In an instant, it was as if the world had changed.

Within a radius of several kilometers, a large number of weeds, trees, soil and rocks floated up out of thin air and rapidly assembled and merged in an unbelievable way.

In no time, all the vegetation and rocks disappeared, replaced by countless spear tips gleaming with a cold metallic light, floating in mid-air behind Suzuki.

As Suzuki moved forward, the sharp tip of his gun gradually adjusted its position, aiming at the five elders wearing hats a hundred meters away.

"!!!"

The Five Elders wearing hats immediately showed fear on their faces, and then quickly retreated, preparing to escape from Suzuki's Devil Fruit ability range.

"Useless effort."

Suzuki remained calm, his pace unhurried.

At the same time, the numerous sharp spear tips that had been behind him suddenly disappeared.

"This is……"

Not far away, the Five Elders, who were moving at high speed, seemed to have sensed something in advance and looked around in horror.

The next second, thousands of vortex-like ripples suddenly appeared in the space around him, and then the spear tip, gleaming with a cold light, slowly emerged from the vortex.

At the same time, a large number of gun muzzles, cannon muzzles, impact shells, slashing shells, etc., emerged from the vortex.

They all aimed at the giant human-headed spider that was so close at hand and surrounded it completely.

"not good!"

The five elders wearing hats narrowed their pupils, sensing something was wrong.
