Roar! Gladios' Rage Explosion destroyed buildings within a radius of dozens of meters, reducing them to dust.
Rorschach's body was pierced like a porcupine, covered in blood, and suddenly vanished amid the rising dust.
"Rorschach!"
Lao, sitting on the roof of a house shattered by exhaustion, screamed loudly.
On the ground, Bepo led Pekin and Shaki swiftly towards the center of the explosion.
"Marine boy, this is the fate of those who challenge the master."
Gladios slowly stood up from a deep pit, fifty to sixty meters in diameter, on the street, with a cold face.
"Do you mean... Doflamingo, that clown?"
Suddenly.
A cold voice appeared behind him, surprising Gladios.
"That voice... is it that marine boy? No, impossible! How can he still be alive?"
Disbelief appeared on Gladios' face as he quickly turned around.
Amid the dust blown by the strong winds, a figure with long silver hair stood quietly behind him.
They were only two meters apart.
Gladios could see Rorschach slowly eating the last piece of the spiral fruit, savoring its rare taste.
Gladios' pupils suddenly contracted, "Could it be that fruit..."
"Although the manga says you can gain all the power with just one bite, to be safe, I'll eat it all."
"Yes, I now feel a tremendous power awakening within my body, the effect is very rapid, is it an animal-type ability?"
Rorschach talked to himself.
His muscles began to swell slowly, forcing the embedded hairs out of his body, falling to the ground.
"Animal type?"
Hearing Rorschach's whispers, Gladios felt like he was struck by lightning, his face turning white.
In the city of Prince, there are already two Devil Fruits.
As one of the Sea Emperors, Doflamingo made a long journey to the small kingdom of Prince.
He even sent his top commander, Trebol, to help Illya secretly control dozens of pirates. All this for that rare fruit.
Or rather, for one of them.
The fruit that Prince Illya obtained by trading a large amount of grain with the Revolutionary Army.
If the master got that fruit, he could enhance his cooperation with the big boss in the New World, raising the Donquixote family to greater prominence on the global stage!
They stayed in this wretched place for almost two years until they finally obtained the fruit from Illya.
To protect it, they demanded Buffalo stay in the sky and not participate in any battle under any circumstances.
But now...
Gladios' lips trembled, "No, it doesn't have to be the fruit the master wants. It might be the other fruit, the Straw-Straw Human-type fruit. Yes, maybe..."
Suddenly, strong winds swept away the surrounding dust, forming two sandy whirlwinds beside Rorschach.
Under Gladios' desperate gaze, Rorschach's muscles began to swell and rise.
Shiny blue scales, seemingly carved from metal, appeared on his skin.
His swollen body became covered with muscles, moving powerfully like a dragon, exuding immense energy.
Blue scales covered his legs, his joints turning into claws that embedded in the ground.
Sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and his eyes turned into glowing blue orbs filled with majesty.
Fiery red horns like those of a stag grew from his forehead, pointing towards the sky.
At his back, a tail covered with scales and spikes appeared.
Gladios felt despair, staring at the five-meter-tall Rorschach, with his massive muscles and immense strength.
The marine boy ate the fruit the master wanted!
The animal fruit, mythical type, Horse-Horse Fruit, Kirin model!
The legendary Devil Fruit rarer than the ordinary type!
"Master... we couldn't protect it. If we had known, we would have had Buffalo take it away."
Gladios wept with regret, looking at Rorschach with eyes filled with hatred.
"Marine boy! If I kill you now, maybe the fruit will return to the sea. The master still has a chance to get it. Yes! This is the solution..."
Roar!
As if the sky collapsed, a large hand covered in blue scales silenced Gladios, killing his voice in his throat.
Rorschach extended his muscular right hand, which was like an ancient pillar supporting a palace. His fingers turned into Kirin claws, grabbing Gladios' head and gently squeezing.
Crack.
A light sound, and Gladios' head exploded, red and white fluids spurting from between Rorschach's fingers.
When Bepo and his companions, panting, reached the edge of the pit, they saw Gladios' headless body, spraying blood and falling to the ground.
A five-meter-tall blue figure turned towards them.
The three felt an instinctive terror, feeling immense pressure from the predator at the top of the food chain.
They fell to the ground in fear.
Rorschach didn't speak and turned towards Lao.
In the next moment, the pit stirred up a sudden storm.
His body covered in blue scales vanished instantly.
In the city's street, Meg Jones, towering beyond human limits, reached fifteen meters in height.
Due to the excessive use of his ability, large white worms moved under his skin, in a state of half-integration, half-division.
His face was filled with sharp teeth, laughing loudly.
"Mihaha! I am strong, invincible, my power unstoppable!"
"Illya, this pirate country and all the treasures you've gathered, I'll take them all. To thank you, I'll make you my deputy. Yes, my deputy. Caesar, that fool, died at the hands of a few children."
Jones took giant steps between the destroyed buildings, his massive body contrasting with the small houses, as if a normal person entered a land of dwarfs.
Suddenly, a transparent shield extended over the surface of one building, covering an area of over a hundred meters.
In the next moment, a mysterious blow from the sky cut the fat man in the sky in half.
Jones' hollow eyes looked towards the building's surface.
He saw the young man with the teleportation ability collapse from exhaustion.
Seeing him, Jones felt a vague pain in his chaotic body.
He remembered what he had forgotten.
The white worms moved under his skin, pulling out three swords from his body.
Jones recognized two of them, which he had bought for Caesar.
The third long one was for the young sorcerer on the rooftop.
Rage began to take over his chaotic mind.
Roar! Roar! The street exploded with his giant steps, destroying the surrounding buildings, heading towards the building Lao stood on.
"Boy! I'll kill you!"
His massive arm descended mercilessly on Lao!
