"Wait, resurrection?" Doflamingo seemed to have thought of something.
"I remember that the Revive-Revive Fruit's resurrection requires the soul to leave the body and then find its way back to the corpse, right? Brook ended up as a pile of bones because he didn't find his body in time. If the soul had been absorbed at that moment..."
"In other words, Kurozumi Orochi's soul now contains the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit!!"
Doflamingo's face instantly lit up with wild delight!!!
The Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit was among the very best even among all Mythical Zoans!!
Its enhancement to the user's physical constitution was no weaker than Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit. Kurozumi Orochi only looked so pathetic because Kurozumi Orochi himself was pathetic, not because the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit was weak.
And while it did not seem to possess the flashy special abilities of other Mythical Zoans—though that might simply have been because Kurozumi Orochi was too useless to develop them—the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit came with extra lives. Seven of them!
On that basis alone, its value was absolutely no less than the Phoenix Fruit or the Azure Dragon Fruit. It might even be worth more!
Just think about Kaido. If he lost the Azure Dragon Fruit's ability to ride clouds, summon wind and fire, and call down thunder and lightning, how much weaker would he become?
Not that much. The Azure Dragon Fruit's main benefit was the enhancement of his body. Without those elemental powers, perhaps his combat methods would become a little less varied, but the Thunder Bagua he knew best would not lose an ounce of its power. He would still be that top Great Pirate whose might shook the seas.
But what if he had seven extra lives...
Doflamingo felt that King Luffy might as well wash up and go
