Instant Coffee's Performance!

With her spirit restored, Gion once again drew her sword and rejoined the battle. Awakening her Observation Haki, she now had the ability to temporarily entangle Jiaerluka. But unlike before, this time Tokikake was behind her, joining forces with her. One after another, bursts of scalding coffee gushed from the latter's hands or mouth, then, under the control of her Devil Fruit ability, formed various strange shapes, filling the battlefield with an incredibly rich aroma of coffee.

"Is he playing water magic? Isn't hot coffee essentially just boiling water?" In the meeting room, Vidal watched speechlessly Tokikake Kakee spewed out high-pressure coffee and created tornadoes of coffee on screen.

That's why he was particularly disappointed that Tokikake's Coffee-Coffee Fruit wasn't Special Paramecia. Coffee is clearly a fluid; if he could transform himself into coffee form, wouldn't that be elementalization?

"However, the development potential of coffee is quite vast. High-temperature applications are probably limited, after all, it's just coffee. But if the amount of water in the coffee is large enough, the scene would be quite terrifying—a tsunami of scalding hot coffee, tsk tsk tsk."

Vidal now understood why the future Tokikake the new model was 'Chaton' —wasn't coffee tea-colored?

On Z Island, facing the combined attack of Gion Tokikake, Jiaerluka could no longer maintain his previous ease and nonchalance. The lewd look on his face disappeared, leaving only anger and anxiety.

Gion noticed this as well, because the attacks of this lewd swordsman were no longer limited to the sword in her hand, which clearly showed that the other party intended to kill!

"You forced me to this. After I kill you all, I'll slowly savor your lingering warmth!"

Jiaerluka deflected the longsword with a single strike, then with a flick of his wrist, the longsword transformed into a cold gleam, aiming for Gion's throat. However, the latter immediately dodged to the side, but the cold gleam suddenly exploded into countless afterimages of blade light, clearly demonstrating some exquisite sword technique.

"Oh no, there's no way to dodge this!"

In Gion's perception, she could clearly sense the violently vibrating sword tip, but her body couldn't keep up with her thoughts, and she even anticipated that she was about to be stabbed.

Faced with the swordsman's sudden offensive, her newly Awakening Observation Haki was somewhat overwhelmed. After all, having Haki doesn't necessarily mean you can defeat someone without Haki.

Just like when Luffy havoc on Amazon Lily in the future, he still manages to defeat the Boa sisters even without Haki!

[Splash!]

Suddenly, another familiar sound of water rang out, and Jiaerluka saw a brown-black water shield materialize out of thin air in front of Gion, instantly blocking his sword technique.

Although the 'shield' didn't seem very sturdy, shattering completely in less than two seconds, it allowed Gion to successfully escape from her spot.

"Tch, what a troublesome ability!"

Just as Jiaerluka was complaining, Tokikake called Gion back to his side, then looked at him with a mocking grin and said, "My ultimate technique is ready. Now, let me treat you to a cup of coffee!"

"What?"

Jiaerluka frowned, not understanding what he meant, but he didn't notice the gazes around him, and his expression changed slightly without him realizing it.

From the Tokikake Gion and Gion, who were farther away, they could clearly see that the area where Jiaerluka was located was shrouded in a faint brownish-yellow mist, the kind of mist that constantly floated around him and never dissipated on its own!

"Instant!"

Tokikake a flamboyant snap of his fingers, Jia Ke instantly enveloped a space of about twenty meters around Jiaerluka with a surge of scalding hot coffee.

Those were coffee condensations formed from the 'mist' permeating the air, leaving Jiaerluka with no way to avoid them. Even as he swung his sword with all his might, he was still completely swallowed up by the endless stream of coffee.

"Ugh!"

The piercing screams abruptly ceased. Gion stared in shock at the coffee cup that resembled a giant bowl turned upside down on the ground, its steam rising and swirling rapidly. It was hard to imagine the horrific pain that Jiaerluka was enduring inside.

[Boom!]

At that moment, a bright blade of light burst forth from within the water, slicing a gap in the 'bowl'. But before the person inside could escape, the gap was immediately restored to its original state by the movement of the water.

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

This continued to happen, with powerful slashes splitting open the bowl, only to be met with more coffee gushing out to block it. Although Jiaerluka's slashes were formidable, they lacked the power to completely cut the bowl open, nor did they buy him enough time.

"Huff--Huff--, how come this bastard is still alive!" Tokikake didn't look relaxed at this moment, with large beads of sweat on his forehead and his body beginning to tremble.

But with Gion right beside him, he couldn't very well tell her that he was about to give up, so he could only hold on and keep going.

This move, 'Instant,' is essentially a small-scale water prison, a coffee-colored version of a water prison with effects such as high temperature, suffocation, and impact. According to the idea Tokikake Kakei's development of this move, as long as the opponent is prevented from escaping from inside, the battle can be ended in no time.

But now it seems he underestimated the resilience of these swordsmen. An ordinary person would have been scalded unconscious long ago; that was boiling water that was constantly boiling!

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired!"

A few minutes later, Tokikake finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was too weak to make any more coffee, and he knelt down on the ground, panting heavily.

On the other side, the 'giant coffee bowl', now freed from the control of the ability user, could no longer maintain its shape and movement, spilling out onto the ground with a clatter. As the coffee continued to cool, thick steam billowed out, enveloping the area.

This Tokikake Gion to approach the exhausted Kake, sword in hand, and stare intently at the steamy area ahead. However, even after most of the smoke had dissipated, there was still no movement from within.

"Shall I go take a look?"

Gion said to Tokikake behind her, she had to admit that the latter's wonderful performance this time really impressed her. She was just wondering why he had been so low-key at school before.

Little did she know that Tokikake harbored the ambition to make a name for himself and had been hiding his true strength until now; it seemed that he had basically achieved his goal.

Be careful.

Tokikake was now unable to stand up, but he couldn't just sit down; the floor was already covered in cold coffee, and if he sat down, his pants would definitely get wet.

Gion nodded and walked over step by step. There was so much coffee on the ground that each step she took splashed a lot of coffee water.

"He's still alive." She saw Jiaerluka, the vulgar swordsman who had previously been spewing obscenities.

He lay disheveled in the coffee puddle, his black and white prison uniform stained with brown and black, and a thin stream of coffee slowly trickling from his mouth and nose.

But the most serious feature was the bright red skin, like a boiled crab, with wisps of steam rising from its body.

However, he had already fallen unconscious and was probably not in any pain. But Gion's Observation Haki allowed her to detect that he was still breathing faintly.

"Kill him! Gion!" Tokikake's shout came from behind.

"Um!"

I've tried freshly brewed coffee in some cafes, but I just can't get used to it. When I get home, I still prefer sweet Instant coffee.

Besides the various imaginative ideas everyone mentioned yesterday, this Coffee-Coffee Fruit can actually be used as a boiling water-escape technique. Why do I think it's useless? Personally, I think it's much better than many Paramecia abilities. Add to that the various special effects of coffee, and if developed properly, it's absolutely worthy of the status of Admiral Candidate. Tokikake this is just the beginning!
