Your zipper is undone!
Sig roared, a voice that shook the very soul, causing the Thunder-Thunder Demon to involuntarily look down, however...
His pants didn't have a zipper at all!
Before he could even react to what was happening, Sig rushed up and punched him in the head, sending him flying hundreds of meters before bouncing on the ground.
"You..." The Thunder-Thunder Demon felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.
He had been hiding his true strength—because Sig used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to temper his body, which also enhanced him. Combined with absorbing the Awakening thundercloud, he felt that in terms of the power he could unleash, he was no longer inferior to Sig ...
Unfortunately, he didn't know that his hidden thoughts had been under Sig's watchful eye the whole time!
Even when he was still in the "Telepathist" stage, Sig could see through the thoughts of these Devil and could freely block their external perception—after all, they were also a part of Sig himself, and for Sig, this was a matter of controlling his own thoughts.
The ending was already decided... At first, the Thunder-Thunder Demon could hold its own against Sig, but as Sig began to experiment with a variety of strange and novel abilities, the Thunder-Thunder Demon became completely powerless to fight back.
However, the already enraged Thunder-Thunder Demon continued to fight Sig relentlessly. After three or five rounds, Sig once again...
Your zipper is undone!
The Thunder-Thunder Demon couldn't help but look down again, scrutinizing it for a moment, and when he was sure he really didn't have a zipper, he felt that familiar touch on his face again.
The Prison Demon watched from the sidelines, his lips twitching in disdain—he felt that the Thunder-Thunder Demon was disgracing the very concept of "Devil."
"You..." After being hammered away again, the Thunder-Thunder Demon stood up in shame and anger.
This isn't a question of Thunder-Thunder Demon is stupid or not, but rather the Hypnotist's ability to "Battle Hypnosis"—requiring absolutely no prior preparation, directly distracting the opponent during combat.
Although it cannot last, it has the power to decide the outcome in a stalemate.
Sig said with a hint of helplessness, "That's all? It's so disappointing."
"I..." The Thunder-Thunder Demon hadn't even finished speaking.
Sig simply beckoned to him with his finger, and instantly the shattered rocks around him transformed into iron bars that encircled him, while the once solid ground beneath his feet turned into a quagmire that would trap him.
"Damn it! What are you doing? The disgrace of Marduk..." The Thunder-Thunder Demon glared at the Prison Demon, but the Prison Demon was also dumbfounded and gave him an "innocent" look.
The Thunder-Thunder Demon finally realized what was happening and looked at Sig in shock—he had just thought that the Prison Demon had secretly intervened and taken advantage of his misfortune.
The Prison Demon was also stunned. That was indeed his ability just now, but Sig... it was one thing to be able to use the Devil Fruit's ability here, but Sig just used was clearly the Prison Demon's Awakening ability!
"How could that be? I haven't even acknowledged you yet!" The Prison-Prison Fruit said arrogantly, but immediately realized its slip of the tongue and hurriedly covered its mouth.
Sig turned to look at him and smiled slightly, "That's right, the so-called Devil Fruit Awakening, besides developing the Devil Fruit ability, also requires the fruit Devil's approval, right?"
Although the Prison Demon never said it, Sig already knew.
The "Awakening ability" that Sig just used was actually an "imitation" of the Prison Demon's ability.
The Sequence 6 on the White Tower route, the "Polymath," possessed not only the Devil Fruit ability but also a true capacity for imitative learning...
Generally speaking, even if an imitation is successful, it will still differ greatly from the original—after all, it's something one doesn't possess the ability to replicate.
However, Sieg can imitate the Devil Fruits to a degree of 70-80%, because Sig himself possesses the corresponding Devil Fruit ability!
In other words, now, as long as the Devil Fruit user uses their Awakening ability in front of Sig can not only bypass the "Devil's approval" and use the Awakening ability directly, but even in his consciousness, theoretically, after Sig has been stripped of his Devil Fruit ability, Sig can still imitate 70-80% of the effect.
Sig was very familiar with the abilities of the Prison-Prison Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; they were not unfamiliar powers to begin with.
If it were another Devil Fruit ability, analyzing the fruit would allow for the imitation of about 30% of its effectiveness, while directly imitating the user would allow for the acquisition of about 10% of its essence...
Sig's previous "regret" wasn't entirely just bragging; he genuinely felt a sense of loss—if only the Thunder-Thunder Demon could unleash its Awakening power!
Unfortunately, it seems that my current physical attributes are not yet sufficient to enable the Thunder-Thunder Demon to use such advanced techniques.
Zoan, Paramecia, Logia...
The difficulty of Awakening increases progressively, and even for the Zoan Devil Fruit, which are the easiest to Awakening users are still extremely rare.
Furthermore, judging from the original work, there are many examples of "failed Awakening" among Zoan Awakening, namely the "Jailer Beast" in Impel Down.
They possess immense strength, speed, and abnormal regenerative abilities and stamina, yet they all seem rather dim-witted, as if they have almost lost all human emotions.
Conversely, Paramecia Fruit users, who are even harder to Awakening, have few appearances in the original work, but there are no examples of them "failing to Awakening".
Based on Sig's current observations of the two "Devil Transformation selves" within his consciousness, the reason can be vaguely deduced...
Although other ability users cannot detect their Devil Transformation selves, the prerequisites for Awakening should be the same—sufficient Devil Fruit Development and the approval of the Devil.
It's very likely because Zoan Devil are relatively easier to "control," or rather, easier for users to accept their abilities!
In this way, although the threshold is lowered, it makes "Awakening" dangerous.
Awakening means that the user can use their Devil Fruit ability without restriction, which is certainly stronger, but also increases the risk of losing control.
Some Zoan users, either physically or mentally, are not capable of maintaining their human identity even after fully utilizing their abilities.
Conversely, Paramecia Fruit users are difficult to manage, so those who have gained their approval are not at risk of "losing control" due to Awakening.
Needless to say, the Logia...
Sig then straightened his back, spread his arms, and declared with an air of arrogance, like a second-generation Olympian, "I have no limits!"
As long as the Prison Demon didn't react, Sig remained motionless in this difficult pose.
As for the Thunder-Thunder Demon...
He's currently trapped by Sig's "imitated version of the Prison Devil Fruit Awakening ability" and can't move for the time being, but he's still talking non-stop. First, he mocks Sig for using "low-class" fighting methods. Then, seeing the Prison Demon struggling, he immediately realizes something and tries to persuade and provoke the Prison Demon, mentioning "Marduk" and such.
However, the Prison Demon eventually yielded, bowing his head and saying, "Alright... your abilities... exceed my expectations. I... acknowledge you!"
Sig grinned and stood up straight again. "Excellent! A wise choice!"
Instantly, Sig could feel the power of the Prison-Prison Fruit completely integrated with him. Originally, he could only use seven or eight parts of the Awakening power of the Prison-Prison Fruit through "imitation," but now... the power of the Prison-Prison Fruit had truly Awakening in Sig!
