The five paths of the Chaos Sea Paths of the Divine symbolize "omniscience and omnipotence".
However, that refers to Sequence 1, Sequence 0, and even after being integrated into the "Chaos Sea" Sefirah matter.
Even with five Pathway at the same time, Sig is far from being "omniscient and omnipotent." Even if he reaches Sequence 4 or Sequence 5, his remote teleportation is still far less convenient than the "Gate Path."
Only the "Visionary Path" Sequence 5, "Dreamwalker," possesses the ability to Dream Traversal, using other people's "dreams" as a springboard to teleport—however, the distance is only a few hundred meters, and someone else needs to be dreaming at that time to cooperate.
So Sig is now paying special attention to Bruno's abilities...
In fact, Bruno's performance in the original work was not very good either. His god-level support role was not shown, and in the end, he even fell to the "Confident Tekkai" in the standard ending.
Moreover, CP9's treatment of him didn't seem like that of a god-tier support player—they simply threw him into Water Seven and made him an undercover agent for several years!
Although he didn't know the effects and limitations of the Door-Door Fruit, Sig could actually make some estimates...
Generally speaking, Devil Fruit ability are roughly equivalent to the Paths of the Divine in a certain aspect, falling between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4. The Sequence 5 of the Gate Path, "Traveler," happens to have a similar ability— Traveler's Gate.
The Traveler's Gate allows for long-distance teleportation through Spirit World Traversal. Whether teleporting oneself or bringing others, the distance and travel time are limited by the strength of one's own spirit body, making it impossible to use for "troop transport".
Furthermore, the user needs to be able to sense their location in the external environment...
However, compared to Shanks' abilities, Sig still feels that the "Door-Door Fruit" is more of a support ability, while the "Fly-Fly Fruit" is stronger in terms of its own power. The Fly- Fly-Fly Fruit can only carry one person, but it can teleport instantly without any delay, while the Door-Door Fruit requires an action of Door Opening, regardless of the distance.
Furthermore, Bruno can only open one door at a time right now...
Just then, Bruno used "Air Door" at the last second to avoid the attack, rolling somewhat awkwardly into the door and dodging the blow. At the same time, the giant's "fan waist" symptoms disappeared without any medicine!
However, Sig didn't get to observe for long. Gradually, apart from the leading giant who was still coldly watching the show, the other four giants, who were entangled by Lucci and his companions, all attacked Sig.
Seeing that he could no longer hide his abilities, Sig had no choice but to become even more serious...
Night Demon Swoop!
With a flick of Sig cloak, Shadow Power coalesced into countless bat-like physical shadows, which flew toward the giants who were attacking him. The bats formed from the shadows inflicted wounds on the giants with the flapping of their wings, and the giants were directly scattered by the bats that Sig had released out of thin air.
"Hmph! Get out of the way!"
Among the eight giants, the tallest one took down a long-handled sword that was over twenty meters long from his back—the other giants generally only reached his chest, and he was exceptionally robust, clearly "wider" than the other giants.
Sig that this must be Pawa, one of the Shichibukai.
The current Shichibukai are generally stronger than they will be ten years from now...
This is not only because the World Government is now inviting more powerful Shichibukai, but also because Crocodile and Moria, among the Shichibukai ten years later, have both regressed.
Just by looking at his physique, Sig could tell that this Pawa was definitely a power-type expert—possessing the typical physique of a strength-type strongman in the pirate world... with short legs!
Because of the "Life Return" principle, the physique of those with strong bodies is largely due to postnatal development.
Therefore, physical powerhouses who focus on strength generally have short legs. The most extreme examples are Kaido, Big Mom, and Jozu. Even the slightly more subtle ones... Garp and Blackbeard's legs are also quite short if you look closely. They are shorter than their upper bodies and relatively thin!
It's not that the legs have become shorter, but rather that the upper body has become larger in order to generate power and requires stronger internal organs.
Generally, the more a body exceeds the normal size, the more likely its proportions are to become abnormal.
Only those skilled in kicking, or those with technical or agile abilities, will have more normal proportions, and may even have longer legs, such as Sig or Momousagi.
As for the future Three Admirals, the reason their proportions are normal is because their physical strength is just so-so. The reason they are tall is entirely due to the stimulation of their Devil Fruit ability — Logia Devil Fruit. Because the body can Elementalization, the increased mastery of the Devil Fruit ability will also make the body larger.
Without the "interference" of Life Return, it is generally closer to a proportional amplification.
Oz, on the other hand, was a typical example of someone with short legs; he was 67 meters tall, but his legs were only 18 meters long...
Of course, because there were so few Ancient Giants, Sig was unsure whether this race was simply different in proportion from humans, and also... the way their upper body generated power was terrifying.
Sig felt that it was more like a designed weapon than a naturally occurring creature!
"Little brat, catch three of my blows, and I might give you a chance to fly my pirate flag." Pawa, extremely arrogant, pointed his long sword at Sig.
Sig, suspended in mid-air, merely smiled dismissively.
The next moment, with a fierce whooshing sound, Pawa arrived in front of Sig, his blade, even larger than Sig's, instantly appearing before Sig...
Being a powerhouse doesn't mean you'll be slow—speed and agility are different. Agility refers to dexterity, while speed is more about explosive power!
Therefore, both Pawa and Diamond Jozu have fast burst speeds.
Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard...
Sig didn't explode into a bloody mist on the spot as the other Titans had imagined, nor did he use any means to dodge as Lucci had predicted. Instead... he simply blocked the attack while suspended in mid-air!
Faced with a long-handled sword, whose blade alone was larger than himself, slashing down with incredible speed, Sig simply raised his hand.
Of course, it's not true that Sig blocked Pawa with just one hand.
In Sig's mind, Pawa was stronger than Jozu and even stronger than himself. Even if he tried to block with both hands, he would definitely be pushed back a great distance. But now that he was suspended in mid-air, how could he possibly block with just one hand and remain motionless?
The "raising of his hand" is not important; now it is Sig's "shadow" that suddenly "stood up," and it swelled up considerably, looking like a gigantic, pitch-black giant...
Now, only the part above his chest has emerged from the ground and is blocking Sig's true form. It is already not much shorter than Pawa, and the giant's hands have caught Pawa's sword with a "clean-handed" move.
Sig only made a gesture of raising his hand behind the huge shadow, without actually touching the blade at all.
Seeing the enormous Shadow Giant, Lucci and the other giants were stunned. Although they already knew that Vladimir was Vampire Fruit user, capable of wielding the power of blood and shadow, conjuring bats was one thing, but this giant... even Moria, a pure Shadow-Shadow Fruit user, didn't have such a terrifying shadow!
Dongdong: The third update will be in the afternoon.
