Instinctive Desires: Food and Sex
Bang!
"This is troublesome—"
As Nami scrambled out of the room, she quickly got up and dodged to the side, all the while rapidly thinking of a solution.
Her opponent was her secretary, Kalifa, who was also a master of the Six Powers and Paramecia Devil Fruit user with the Bubble-Bubble Fruit. The bubbles she created could defend against lightning, explosions, and impacts, Nami helpless and in grave danger.
Fortunately, the fruit itself is both a blessing and a curse. Kalifa, who just obtained the 'Bubble-Bubble Fruit,' has been experimenting with various bubble abilities in battle, which is why Nami has been able to persevere until now.
Otherwise, if she becomes immune to Nami's 'spell' damage, and the opponent immediately uses 'Shave' and Flash to follow up with Shigan, wouldn't Nami just laugh and call it GG on the spot?
Are we really going to have to engage in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat?
Boom!!
Just as Nami was weighing whether her hand-to-hand combat skills could outmaneuver her opponent, the room next door suddenly exploded as if hit by a cannonball! A familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked out of it.
It's familiar, of course, because I see that face every day.
The unfamiliarity stemmed from the other person's face—it lacked its usual seriousness and composure, instead exuding a chilling, sinister aura!
"Eat·····"
"You're bound to lose—?"
Kalifa had chased after him out of the room, was taken aback. She first looked warily at the figure beside her, who exuded a dangerous aura like a monster, and then her expression changed.
Because the other person was carrying a emaciated figure. If it weren't for the oversized black suit and the white mask on his face, Kalifa wouldn't have recognized him at first glance.
"Kumadori?!"
What the other party was carrying was none other than the enormous Lion Kanshō. However, for now, calling him the dried-up corpse Kumadori would be more accurate.
"Open--"
Snap,
Just as Kalifa was about to unleash 'Shave', her vision blurred as a hand grabbed her smooth neck, and an aggressive gaze traveled down to delve into the proud cleavage of her chest.
"Woman····"
Amidst the gurgling sounds of swallowing, the temperature here suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees!
"Roman!"
Can you explain your current behavior?
The chill around him made 'Roman' Guotou away, and then words slipped out without thinking (in a physical sense).
"The number one concubine in the harem?"
!!
"Good! Very good," Nami, who had been bowing her head and whose shoulders were trembling, raised her head and smiled brightly—if one ignored the veins on her forehead.
"Who's number two in the harem? Robin, of course! And who's number three—"
The temperature in the air dropped several tens of degrees, as if Nami's words were tinged with ice.
Even Roman, who was in a state of 'instinct', felt a chill run down his spine, which successfully brought his attention back to reality from the ravine.
"Eat... food..."
Um?
Roman is not in good form!
Brush,
Just then, as Kalifa, whose neck was being held by 'Roman,' quietly raised her hand to touch him, 'Roman's' eyes narrowed! His whole body 'shaked' like the screen of an old-fashioned television, instantly causing Kalifa's 'bubble ability' to fail.
At the same time, the hand that had been gripping her neck disappeared. However, before Kalifa could even show a hint of joy, the surging murderous aura that had been hovering close by, like an invisible hand, gripped her throat once more.
Because opposite her, a man with his back bent and fists at his waist had already drawn up, assuming an attack stance!
Iron--
"Kūshō!"
Even CP9's signature Tekkai was only half used! 'Roman' had already struck out with his palm in an instant, and the air in his hand was pushed out like a solid 'pillar'! First, it instantly dispersed... no, it could even be said to 'extinguish' the bubbles on Kalifa's body, and then it mercilessly slammed into her stomach.
Boom!
In Nami's view, the female secretary who had been captured by Roman was about to use her Devil Fruit ability to sneak attack him when the scene suddenly 'shaked' and Roman was still in the posture of striking out with his palm, while the female secretary had instantly been embedded into the stone wall next to her, becoming a human portrait!
Wow, that's amazing!
The opponent she had been fighting for so long without success couldn't even land a single move against Roman... However, this time they were very close, Nami noticed a fleeting flash of Electric Light on Roman's body.
Roman, who delivered the blow, grinned in dissatisfaction and uttered a word brimming with desire.
"Hungry!"
After a series of battles, Roman was completely exhausted. The power he had just absorbed from the wounded Lion Kanshō was gone in a single slap, taking away a third of it, leaving him with gleaming eyes as he scanned the area.
The harem next door... No, there's too little sex in it;
Those two guys fighting so fiercely... no, they're too strong;
This reindeer looks pretty good, fresh and chewy... In a room downstairs, a 'emergency food' that had just exited its second Rumble Ball state shivered.
Um?
As Roman's Observation Haki swept across the area below the building, a huge refrigerator in a kitchen caught his attention.
Food!!
"Roman..."
While Nami was still pondering what had happened to Roman, the beast-like boy had already turned and strode off in a straight line in one direction.
This was a true straight line! Whether it was a rock wall or a wooden door blocking his way, Roman 'passed through' it, leaving a human-shaped hole, which made Nami twitch!
He opened the door with his face! This Roman must be crazy—
Brush,
Upon entering a room, 'Roman' leaped into the air, bracing himself against the ceiling with one hand. Then, with a sudden burst of power, he blasted a large hole in the ceiling, using the recoil to accelerate his descent.
"One hundred thousand... kilograms dropped!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
Amidst a series of violent explosions, Roman pierced through layers of floorboards and disappeared into a large hole filled with flying debris! The entire building shook violently as if in an earthquake, and Nami, who had caught up, was completely dumbfounded.
A humanoid pile driver... no, it's practically a humanoid drilling machine! We can't afford to mess with it... we can't afford to mess with it...
But what on earth is Roman doing?
Nami gritted her teeth and, instead of chasing after him, turned and ran back.
There might be clues in that room—
Whoosh!
The ceiling shattered, and amidst the falling debris and dust, a figure gently landed in the room.
"There's a lot of food..."
Roman nodded in satisfaction after looking around. This was the kitchen of the Justice Tower: a place specifically for CP9 members. As everyone knew, in this world, people's strength was basically linked to their appetite, and with the arrival of all CP9 members, the kitchen was now overflowing with all sorts of Sea King meat.
"They're all... mine!"
As 'Roman' extended his right hand, a massive, Iron Barrel -like mouth suddenly split open in his palm! Under his control, this mouth rapidly expanded into a truly bloodthirsty maw, fiercely devouring the food in the room.
"Tuntun-Taotie!"
Click, click, click—
The enormous mouth devoured everything in the room like a whirlwind! In its ravenous frenzy, it even gnawed a hole in the huge metal refrigerator, but the ability granted to the mouth by the 'Baku Baku Pages' was simply to let it chew a few times and spit it out to the side.
Thump!
A metal ball the size of a basketball, resembling the shape of chewing gum, slammed into the floor and instantly sank into it! The spiderweb-like cracks around it clearly demonstrated its immense mass.
As the giant maw continued to devour, a satisfied expression appeared on 'Roman's' face! The feeling of hunger quickly left him, replaced by an unbridled energy and a destructive desire!
After consuming enough food for thousands of people, Roman, feeling full, had a thought, and sheets of paper shimmering with emerald green light peeled off his right hand and fell into his left.
Just looking at these papers gives one a sense of vitality and a refreshing feeling. It's as if they're some kind of powerful tonic; any living being's instinct tells you how good they are.
That's right, this is the life force that Roman takes in from the food he eats by 'Baku Baku Pages', and then transfers and stores it in these papers.
A true 'Vivre Card', just like a blood vial or a blue vial!
Without the 'swallowing ability,' even if others could Life Return, they couldn't digest food so quickly. After all, not everyone has a rubber stomach that can expand and contract at will;
Without the transfer and carrying function of the 'Paper-Paper Fruit', other people who can Life Return would not be able to transfer and manifest 'life force' so easily.
With the two abilities combined, Roman demonstrated on the spot how he could conjure a giant purple bottle with his bare hands, displaying unparalleled endurance in battle while on a drug-fueled spree.
"Hehe... hehe..."
Even if only instinct remained, Roman continued to create these things according to his previous 'idea'. Unfortunately, these things, which were originally meant to 'save lives,' have now become tools to fuel desire!
"Power... mighty...!"
Snap,
Roman crouched down, placing one hand on the floor. Paper, like waves, surged from his body in all directions, forming a massive paper ball! Then, like a seed accelerated a thousand times, it rapidly broke through the soil, winding its way through and destroying everything in its path!
Rumble!!
Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, buildings collapsed, and all battles were affected and forced to a halt. A surge of paper, like a giant vine from the Sky Island, pierced the Justice Tower, lifting a figure high into the air!
He was like a god, causing the others who had leaped out of the shattered building ruins and stood on the giant white 'leaf' to instinctively look up.
"I am--"
'Roman' stretched out his palm toward the entire Enies Lobby, as if to grasp it in his hand.
"Invincible!"
