Glitter-Glitter Fruit
Tokikake and Gion locked eyes, their gazes conveying the same answer to each other. Almost simultaneously, they withdrew their attacks, their breaths ragged, and both staggered to the ground.
Roy stretched out his hand, and his palm trembled as if an invisible force swept across the entire area, instantly clearing away the pervasive blood mist, and the sky became clear again.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena like a sharp sword. "Navy Martial Arts Tournament —The Ultimate Victor..."
"Momousagi Gion!"
"Oh--!"
A deafening roar of cheers erupted like a tsunami, shaking the Deserted Island!
In the stands, the soldiers were in high spirits, their eyes red, wildly waving their fists and hats; some were in tears, shouting themselves hoarse.
Vice Admiral Momousagi —Invincible!!
"This is our Vice Admiral's combat strength!!"
On the referee's stand, Garp laughed wildly and slammed his fist on the table, Zephyr was moved to tears, and Sengoku maintained a serious expression, but his eyes shone with undisguised pride.
The Three Admirals looked solemn, their eyes flashing with admiration.
On the ring, Tokikake collapsed to the ground, covered in blood but still sporting a defiant smile, giving a thumbs-up. "Haha... I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
Gion, slightly out of breath, reached out and pulled him up. "Your Shigan... almost killed me."
Tokikake wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing his usual smug smile, "So... can you say yes to our next date?"
Gion glanced at him, gave a soft snort, and turned to walk towards the podium.
Tokikake, half-sitting and half-lying down behind, yelled, "Hey! Aren't you going to help me up?!"
On the Deserted Island, the smoke of battle dissipated, and the entire Navy Martial Arts Tournament finally came to a close.
In the stands, the naval soldiers' chests heaved violently, their burning gazes fixed on the center of the Battlefield.
Their fingertips clenched unconsciously, their knuckles turned white, and their Adam's apples bobbed, yet they couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"These are... our Vice Admiral..."
"That fighting spirit... it's on par with Admiral..."
"So, all along we've been protected by monsters like these..."
The scalding liquid streamed down his dark cheeks and splashed onto the concrete floor of the stands.
These were not tears of fear, but tremors of blood ignited—they finally saw clearly what kind of barrier stood between them and hell.
The defeated Vice Admirals, including Momonga, Smoker, Onigumo, stood silently at the edge of the ring.
Smoker exhaled a deep puff of smoke, his gaze unusually serious. "The difference... is too obvious."
The Momonga gripped its katana tightly, muttering to itself, "This is power approaching that of Admiral... We're still far from it."
Onigumo sheathed his eight swords, his long hair fluttering in the wind, his expression shifting from resentment to determination. "This battle... is only the beginning."
There was not a trace of despair in their eyes, only an even more fervent desire to win.
Law and Roy stepped onto the ring together. The power of the Space- Op-Op Fruit intertwined, instantly healing the injuries on Gion and Tokikake. The blood receded, the cracks disappeared, as if they had just been reborn from the ashes.
Roy surveyed the entire arena, his voice reverberating throughout the island. "The Navy Martial Arts Tournament has officially concluded!"
"The ultimate victor— Momousagi Gion!"
Second place -- Chaton Tokikake!
"Third Place - Science Unit: Sentomaru!"
"Oh--!"
The entire Deserted Island erupted in cheers once more. The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth, even causing the distant waves to surge!
Garp grinned from ear to ear. "Well done! Gion! Tokikake! Sentomaru! You're all good lads!!"
Zephyr's eyes welled with tears, and he slammed his fist heavily on the table. "These are the future of the Navy! They are the students I taught! They are my pride!!"
Sengoku nodded slowly, his voice low yet full of power. "With such young men, the navy... fears no storm."
Amidst Thunderclap cheers, Roy led Gion, Tokikake, Sentomaru slowly onto the podium.
The white marble beneath their feet shimmered softly in the sunlight, as if the entire stage had been carpeted with glory for them.
On the stage, three Devil Fruits were quietly displayed on a crystal pedestal, exuding a power capable of changing the world.
The first Glitter-Glitter Fruit--
It is entirely golden-white, with a shimmering surface that reflects a dazzling light under sunlight, even causing tiny specks of light to appear in the air.
Even through the air, you can feel its indestructible aura.
The second Stone-Stone Fruit --
The fruit is as heavy as a rock, with natural stone patterns embedded in its dark gray surface. The surrounding ground seems to Gravity: Press, exuding a sense of calm and stability.
The third Flag-Flag Fruit --
The fruit peel is pale silver, with flowing wind patterns etched all over its surface. A gentle breeze surrounds the fruit, creating wisps of air that seem ready to fly away from the display stand at any moment.
Roy stood before the crystal altar, his voice steady, offering the final interpretation of the three fruits:
"The Glitter-Glitter Fruit —can transform any part of the body into a transparent, pure Diamond, possessing super hardness. The part that becomes Diamond is the hardest in the world, with extremely high defensive and offensive capabilities."
Ordinary Physics attacks are almost ineffective against it, and it can even withstand Hawk-Eye's slashes!
It can shatter any defense less hard than Diamond. If one transforms their body into Diamond, imbues it with Haki, and then strikes the opponent, it can inflict immense damage. The attack combines speed, power, and hardness.
"Stone-Stone Fruit - This is a Paramecia Logia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit."
Any substance that can be classified as "rock" can be controlled by the ability user, and they can even change the terrain and the appearance of buildings.
The user can assimilate any rock they come into contact with, incorporating its appearance, hardness, and other properties into their own power, and can transform into a colossal stone giant to attack.
"The Flag-Flag Fruit - The user can transform any object they touch into a form like a flag or silk, whether it is steel or other hard material."
She can also use her Devil Fruit powers to change the shape of her body, transforming steel or Diamonds and wearing them on her body.
It serves to defend against enemy attacks, and also makes one's own attack methods more diverse.
The three stood at the front of the stage, holding their breath, as the cheers around them gradually turned into suppressed anticipation.
Tokikake's gaze was fixed on the Glitter-Glitter Fruit, and an unprecedentedly fervent light burst forth in his eyes.
"The hardness of Diamond, if combined with my Shigan..."
"Nothing can withstand that attack!!"
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed the dazzling fruit.
"This one!"
"I want it!!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
"Vice Admiral Chaton... chose the Glitter-Glitter Fruit?! Is it the same fruit that Diamond Jozu had before?!"
"His Shigan was already capable of piercing steel, and now with the added hardness of Diamonds..."
My God, this is practically a walking, talking siege engine!
Roy raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Won't you try it?"
Tokikake chuckled and took a bite, "Ugh--!"
His face turned ashen, and he nearly fainted on the spot, but the next second he grinned, looking at his hand that had transformed into Diamonds, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"It tastes awful... but the effort it takes is worth it!!"
