Chapter 254
Chapter 254
What happened next completely shocked Kizaru!
The laser actually passed straight through Little Silver’s body!
Then it transformed into lightning and shot right through Kizaru himself. He could clearly feel it — Little Silver’s body had turned into pure lightning.
It was the same type of ability as his own Glint-Glint Fruit.
A Logia-type Devil Fruit!
And not just any Logia — it was a lightning-based Logia.
He had seen Nami on Rorschach’s ship before and knew she possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. So what kind of fruit did Little Silver have now?! Every aspect of its ability pointed to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
While Kizaru was stunned, Little Silver had already passed through his blockade and was charging straight toward Aokiji.
Kizaru wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
Aokiji, who was running at full speed, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the red streak of lightning behind him.
Cold sweat instantly poured down his back. He fired an ice bullet with his right hand and twisted his body, crossing both arms in front of him to block.
The ice bullet hit the sea surface. The ocean, which had been melted by Akainu earlier, instantly froze over again.
Boom!
Having done all that, Aokiji didn’t have time to elementalize. He could only take Little Silver’s charge head-on and was sent flying downward.
The newly frozen ice layer caved in, creating a large crater.
Aokiji lay in the middle of it. He glared coldly at Little Silver in the sky, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"What the hell are you doing?! You couldn’t even stop it for a single second?"
Whoosh.
Kizaru appeared beside him.
"It’s not my fault! I didn’t know it had such a weird ability."
"What ability? Even you couldn’t stop it?"
Aokiji asked in confusion.
"Elementalization!"
"It has the ability to turn its body into lightning, just like the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
Kizaru spoke with a serious expression.
"What?! Rumble-Rumble Fruit?! Isn’t that the ability of that yellow-haired girl on his ship?! When did it end up on this dragon?!"
Aokiji was also shocked. He hadn’t seen the moment Kizaru was phased through.
He had only thought the dragon possessed lightning-based powers.
This was something even the Mink Tribe could achieve by rubbing their fur to generate electricity.
He never expected it to be a Devil Fruit ability!
It was impossible for two identical Devil Fruit abilities to exist at the same time.
So what kind of ability did this dragon actually have?!
"It’s not just the dragon," Kizaru continued. "Did you forget the red lightning that appeared around Rorschach earlier? Combined with that form of his that looks like a Mythical Zoan transformation..."
"I suspect Rorschach and this dragon have some kind of connection. He can transform into its appearance and use its abilities."
"Are you saying... Rorschach also has the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s power?!"
Aokiji’s face was filled with shock as he spoke slowly.
Rorschach was once again shattering his worldview.
Not only did he possess the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit, but he also seemed to have some kind of Mythical Zoan transformation ability. And now Kizaru was telling him that Rorschach also had the powers of the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Was this some kind of joke?
One person possessing three Devil Fruits of completely different types!
Other people could reach the pinnacle of power just by eating one of the fruits he possessed. If one person had all three... who could possibly stop him?!
"This just got a lot more complicated," Kizaru muttered. "I don’t know how Fleet Admiral Sengoku is going to handle this. If we let Rorschach escape, we might never get another chance to capture him."
"Someone who can fly freely in the sky... Marine Headquarters doesn’t have the means to send forces after an enemy like that. Even one or two Admirals wouldn’t be enough to stop him."
Kizaru’s expression was grim. He wasn’t sure whether Rorschach’s appearance was a good or bad thing for the future of the world — or how much change it would bring.
If they didn’t handle this properly, the world really might end up being ruled by him, just like he claimed.
"Mm. The priority is no longer the Whitebeard Pirates," Aokiji said coldly. "It’s Rorschach and his group! We have to keep both this dragon and Rorschach here!"
Aokiji’s expression was icy as he made his decision.
He no longer cared about the escaping pirates. Instead, he stood together with Kizaru.
"They’re coming!"
At Aokiji’s warning, Kizaru saw Little Silver open its mouth wide. Another roaring blast of lightning shot toward them.
The two Admirals kept dodging.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to elementalize and tank the attack — every single roar was infused with Haki. One wrong move and they could really be taken out of the fight.
Little Silver’s mouth fired like a gatling gun, continuously shooting lightning blasts. Every time one hit the ground, it created a small explosion that shattered the surface. The violent lightning also lingered for a short while, creating electric traps. If an ordinary person stepped on one, they would instantly lose consciousness.
After dodging one blast, the two were about to counterattack when Little Silver’s wings fired two more beams — like miniature Tailed Beast Bombs.
Left with no choice, they had to dodge again. But this time, things didn’t go as they hoped.
They felt something strange around their feet.
Aokiji noticed it first. He had experienced this kind of technique before.
Looking down, he saw clumps of rock — soft like mochi — tightly wrapping around their feet, preventing them from exerting any force.
These soft rocks then hardened rapidly, becoming extremely solid.
"This is—!"
Aokiji’s pupils shrank as he spoke instinctively.
But the laser beams had already arrived in front of them. If they didn’t dodge now, they would take the hit directly.
Left with no choice, they could only elementalize and try to shift away from the beams as much as possible.
However, the edges of the lightning still grazed their bodies.
This wasn’t a straight-line attack — it was like a controllable laser pointer. The beams could change direction!
The numbing and electric shock sensation made Aokiji let out a pained grunt.
Kizaru was faster thanks to his light-enhanced speed. He managed to escape the pursuing lightning beams.
A few seconds later, the lightning dragon cannon finally dissipated.
Aokiji’s body looked somewhat charred, with wisps of smoke rising from his surface.
Even with Armament Haki protecting him, he couldn’t completely nullify the lightning.
"The power of the Float-Float Fruit..."
Aokiji lowered his crossed arms slightly, revealing his cold, murderous eyes.
"It looks like I was wrong... Not only did Rorschach gain this dragon’s abilities... but the dragon also gained Rorschach’s abilities!"
At this moment, Aokiji’s mind was unusually clear. The electric shock had sharpened his thoughts.
"Impossible! Someone with that ability is still alive! How can someone else obtain the same power while the original user is still alive?!"
Kizaru immediately rejected the idea.
"Nothing is impossible. The fact that Rorschach also has lightning powers proves my theory... They must have some special connection that allows them to share each other’s abilities!"
"This dragon — and Rorschach — are both multi-fruit users! No... they might even be triple-fruit users!!"
As Aokiji’s words fell, everyone was shocked!
This scene was also broadcast live to the entire world.
Little Silver gave a clear answer to Aokiji’s theory.
The rocks, ice, and metal on the ground slowly began to float. They softened and merged together, taking on new forms!
Multiple dragons made of different materials were now flying in the sky!
This was extremely similar to the technique Rorschach had used earlier with his lion heads, and it was also infused with the power of the Float-Float Fruit.
