Scopper Gaban: I'm a Noob?

The sky was cloudless and the atmosphere was heavy. Even the changes caused by the Dark-Dark Fruit below could not distract the three of them for a moment.

"Nightmare, you've lost!" After a long silence, the Red Hair finally uttered those words coldly.

"I lost? Red Hair, aren't you celebrating a little too soon?" Ignoring the sword that had pierced his heart, Roy said without changing his expression.

"Nightmare, you don't need to bluff." Scopper Gaban spoke from behind Roy: "Now that we know you have the means to resurrect, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

"Oh, tell me about it. This is getting interesting." Roy remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

"Nightmare, there's something you probably didn't expect either." Scopper Gaban's voice carried a hint of satisfaction. This guy in front of him was just too annoying, always acting so high and mighty, indifferent, as if he had everything under control, which was utterly repulsive.

The greatest pleasure of revenge is seeing the panic, wailing, and despair on the face of one's enemy, isn't it? But this guy wasn't cooperating at all, which annoyed him greatly.

"You first revealed your ability to revive yourself in the West Wind Town in the North Blue, the last battle before entering the Grand Line. It was this battle that laid the foundation for your rise and foreshadowed your rapid rise afterward."

Scopper Gaban then changed the subject, "But it was that battle that exposed all your shortcomings and weaknesses, and it was recorded by an outsider using Visual Den Den Mushi."

"The president of the World Economic Journal, Morgans?"

"That's right. At that time, you might not have been able to use your abilities skillfully, which left some flaws. After we bought that video footage and studied it carefully, we finally uncovered all the weaknesses in your resurrection ability."

"First of all, there is a moment of stagnation after each of your resurrections. This is because Doflamingo's Observation Haki is suppressed by you, and coupled with his arrogant personality, he believes that he always has the situation under control, which is why he failed to notice."

"Secondly, your number of resurrections is not unlimited. If I'm not mistaken, your maximum number of resurrections should be nine or ten. It's hard to believe that someone like you wouldn't leave yourself a way out. So, those last one or two resurrection opportunities are what you've reserved for your escape if the plan fails."

"Finally, your resurrection comes at a price. You will be weaker after each resurrection. In other words, you are at your strongest in your current state."

"So even if we can't catch the opening when you resurrect, the battle will only get easier from here on out, and your death is already destined... inevitable."

Scopper Gaban didn't deliberately muffle his voice, perhaps because he wanted others to hear it.

The group that remained on the sea surface, not rushing into the Gild Tesoro's treasury, were all powerful figures who had roamed the New World for many years. Although they couldn't compare to the Four Emperors or the Shichibukai, it wasn't difficult for them to hear the conversation using their enhanced senses through Observation Haki.

Therefore, everyone reacted differently upon hearing Scopper Gaban's death declaration.

Among the top warriors on this sea, Kaido and Nightmare Roy are notoriously difficult to kill.

If Kaido's healing ability is so abnormal that the damage inflicted on him often doesn't even keep up with his recovery speed, then Roy's resurrection methods are so troublesome that it's difficult to kill even once, let alone kill him repeatedly.

But now, after listening to Scopper Gaban's analysis, they discovered... this has nothing to do with them at Beli.

Even if these flaws do exist, the entire premise must be based on one premise: at least Roy must be killed once. Not to mention these losers, even two Marine Admiral might not be able to do it. Only Red Hair and Scopper Gaban have that kind of strength.

"It is indeed a brilliant analysis, but as you said, those were flaws left because I hadn't fully developed my abilities when I first went to sea. Haven't you considered that I... might have already found a way to make up for those shortcomings?"

"Although I am not Devil Fruit User, I still have some insights into Devil Fruit. There are no perfect fruits in this world, and even the most overpowered abilities must have their flaws." Scopper Gaban remained unmoved. "You may be able to reduce the impact of those weaknesses on you, but you cannot erase them completely."

"Hehe, whatever. Just take what you said as reasonable. You can try it next time you encounter me and see if these so-called flaws work on me," Roy said nonchalantly.

"Nightmare, what do you mean?" The Red Hair, who had been silently watching Roy's movements and preparing to deliver a fatal blow during Roy's resurrection phase, finally frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, this is just one of my clones. It doesn't have any resurrection ability. I'm sorry to have troubled you and played with me for so long!" Roy's lips curled into an evil smile. His simple words plunged the Red Hair and his companion into despair.

The first to be outraged was Scopper Gaban, who shouted angrily, "Nightmare, are you kidding me? How could a mere clone of you have such power?"

"Is it that strong?" Roy turned his head 180 degrees in shock, tilting his head and looking puzzled. "This clone only has a portion of my strength. You, who were once a member of the Pirate Kings's crew, have such limited vision? You really disappoint me!"

"Impossible, you must be trying to mislead us, right?" Scopper Gaban still couldn't believe it.

Even though Red Hair is more rational, he couldn't help but feel a surge of shock inside. "The aura of your body is exactly the same as it was two years ago. How could it be a clone?"

Although rationally he couldn't believe it, Red Hair was actually 80% convinced. If it really was a clone, it would be understandable that Roy didn't bring his signature weapon. But for a clone to have the strength to rival Four Emperors was a bit too much of a joke.

What he found most unacceptable was that if Nightmare's body was truly an avatar, then all his efforts today would have been in vain. Not only had he exposed his own trump card, but he had also acted like a clown for others to see.

In the shattered Golden City, everyone picked at their ears in disbelief, wondering if they were hallucinating.

"Marco, that brat actually said he's just an avatar, that's ridiculous!" Jozu couldn't help but ask.

"How should I know?" Marco replied irritably.

While the ability to create clones is rare on the high seas, these people are all well-informed and have some knowledge of it. To say nothing of the distant past, Doflamingo possessed the ability to create line clones.

In their understanding, the clones are far inferior to the main body in strength, possessing at least 30% to 70% of the main body's combat power. Most of the time, they are used for remote control to probe for danger and are of little significance in battles of the same level.

But who could tell them what this bizarre clone of Nightmare was all about? If it was just bluffing, that would be fine, but if it was real, no one dared to imagine what its true strength was like...
