Artificial Yonko-Level Combat Power

The changes in Shiliu and Waldo were entirely expected.

First, the body stiffens, then the bloodline begins to awaken, and the physical form slowly shows the 'characteristics' of the Demon Tribe.

The skill and experience cards allowed his consciousness to sink into his mind... absorbing the 'images'.

He woke up after a few minutes.

Feel the new and powerful energy within my body.

Bare, however, remained seated in his chair, his physical form unchanged. He was only momentarily stunned as his brain was 'receiving' Muzan's Blood Demon Art and another experience card.

Shiliu and Waldo both looked at their captain in disbelief.

Even the most composed among them could not remain calm at this moment... Waldo exclaimed repeatedly, then burst into wild laughter.

Shiryu's eyes flashed red, as if he could not suppress the surging, excited killing intent in his heart.

I really want to go on a killing spree right now to calm down this restless emotion.

"Um?"

Oboro stared at Bare, frowning.

In Demon Slayer, the power that arrives in One Piece is assimilated and altered to integrate into the power system of this world, much like Dom's Blood Demon Art. Power sources from lower-level worlds, upon arriving in higher-level worlds, cannot be used as freely and without restrictions as they did in their previous worlds. Shiryu and Waldo have both shown clear signs of demonization; Shiryu's eyes have even turned pure black, with no whites and red pupils, just like Rob Lucci's.

Moreover, numerous tiny black blood vessels appeared around his eyes, and his right hand transformed into a scale-covered, dragon-claw-like shape.

Waldo has also changed quite a bit.

Bare the only one who was 'unharmed'.

He himself was taken aback when he saw the changes in Shiliu and Waldo beside him.

Bare could clearly sense that Shiryu and Waldo's bodies had become different, and their auras had become more dangerous. When Shiryu unleashed his killing intent, even Bare felt a tremor in his heart, his skin tensed instantly, and he went into a defensive stance.

This is a subconscious reaction.

This means that... Shiliu posed the most direct threat to his life.

Both of them gained divine power, so why am I...?

Bare opened his palm, looked at it... then looked up at Oboro.

"Strangeness."

Long muttered to himself.

Could it be... that Bare's physical strength was so extraordinary that even Muzan's bloodline, as the progenitor of demons, was Muzan match for him, easily digested and absorbed, yet without causing any mutation? "That shouldn't be... Bare's terrifying body is due to two factors: his innate physical abilities and the environment of this world. Muzan's bloodline, Muzan, is genetic, his biological essence! The two are completely unrelated. Any living being injected with new genes will undergo changes..."

Long thought about it for a moment.

Just as he was about to get up and walk over to Bare.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

Oboro reacted Godspeed, instantly manipulating the airflow to form a barrier, isolating Bare from the others present.

Bare's long, golden hair suddenly turned snow-white, his limbs trembled violently, and his once full, muscular body shriveled up like a sponge without water. His tall and imposing physique was reduced to a 'bamboo pole' in just a few seconds.

Like an old man who is over a hundred years old and about to die suddenly.

"Get out, everyone."

His eyes lit up, and he said in a cold voice.

Upon seeing this, the group of people took in Bare's astonishing transformation and then left the cabin one after another.

"Aaaaaaah!"

No sooner had they left the house than they heard a deafening, incredibly shrill, and ferocious roar... Not only Crocodile and his crew, but all the One Piece aboard the Blood Pluton were startled. This sudden roar caused some of the weaker One Piece to turn pale and collapse instantly.

This sound is completely unlike anything a human could make.

Inside the main cabin, Oboro stood in front of a terrifying 'mountain of flesh'.

This familiar feeling... reminded him of Muzan Kibutsuji once again.

At this point, Bare no longer resembled a human. Its skin, flesh, and bones had completely merged into one, and with the proliferation of its cells, it had become a huge 'fleshball creature.' Not to mention its hands and feet, even its facial features could not be found. Only a pair of eyeballs stretched open by fleshy skin could be barely discerned.

If this continues to multiply indefinitely, the main cabin may be 'bursted'.

Oboro used his airflow to suppress Bare, and then placed a hand on the mountain of flesh.

To help them get through this ordeal.

Outside the door, the members of the Hell Pirates waited quietly.

Bare's transformation was unprecedented... Even Dom, who was the first to follow Oboro, had never seen anyone with such extraordinary phenomena after being blessed by divine power.

A constant shaking sensation came from the main cabin, causing the entire Blood Pluton to hover high in the air and cease flight.

They could clearly feel the tremors beneath their feet.

The power that Bare was given... is absolutely extraordinary! And... Shiryu.

Dom was very certain.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Shiryu again.

Each member's aura undergoes a transformation after being baptized.

So far, Shiryu's aura is the one that Dom has sensed that is the biggest difference from his original self.

Yurivich, Enel, and Crocodile were not at that level.

Not only him, but when Shiryu's murderous aura filled the air, almost everyone at the table simultaneously turned their eyes aggressive, as if in an instant, everyone had become a caged beast about to engage in a fierce battle because of Shiryu.

He, Dorans, and Kaka, among others, instinctively used their Haki aura to protect themselves and entered a battle stance.

Of course, at present... Shiryu can probably only be ranked second, despite his explosive increase in strength.

Half an hour later, the strange feeling that had enveloped the Blood Pluton finally subsided.

The situation inside the main cabin seemed to have quieted down as well.

Crocodile and the others focused their attention on the hatch.

With a commotion, the hatch was pushed open.

Oboro walked out with a smile on his face, and behind him was Bare, who had recovered completely.

Upon seeing Bare, the members' expressions changed slightly.

Bare has changed a lot... but this change doesn't refer to demonic traits. There's not a trace of demonic transformation on his body; he looks just like a normal human. The only difference is that he seems somewhat thinner, but the exposed muscles, brimming with explosive power, still give off a menacing aura that makes him seem like an inhuman being.

The biggest change was his head of white hair.

The first words spoken by Bare, who was completely naked, made all the members of the Hell Pirates feel a chill in their hearts.

"It's definitely different now... These guys seem too weak... Their flesh, or rather, their life signs, feel no different from insects to me, so rudimentary..."

Bare's gaze swept over everyone standing on the second deck, including Shiliu.

His face revealed an undisguised mocking smile, his mouth wide open.

"Only you give me a different feeling..."

"Strange, I seem to have a deeper understanding of 'life and flesh' now... I can tell at a glance what level other people's limit of power is. But you... your body is clearly within the human realm, but it seems like something is hidden inside you. For you, flesh and flesh are just a shell. There is a more terrifying, or rather, a more advanced, mysterious substance inside your body... This kind of energy doesn't seem like something a human could possess."

Bare stared at Oboro in front of him, licked his lips, and made a comment.

"Oh? You can actually sense it... that's impressive."

Long turned her head, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled softly.
