Caught in the Trap?

Ding ding dong--

Clang--

Crackling and popping--

Chirp--

Another intense and exciting fight ensued...

Sig was now completely convinced that Repikak wasn't just joking around; the special effects weren't just for show, and he truly had a boost to the level of Mythical Zoan!

He had already pushed the physical power granted by the Tyrant Path to its limit, and the Dragon Scales granted by the Visionary Path were fully materialized. Lightning surged around him, stimulating his muscles to swell... yet he still couldn't gain the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and his opponent's methods had also become more sophisticated.

Lei Shuixin's Laser Shoulder Throw!

Fish-Man Karate Secret Technique: Great Shark Raiga!

Sig instantly condensed water vapor and launched a long-range attack. The massive surge of water, along with a swarm of water-based sharks, rushed towards Repikak...

Moreover, the flashes of electricity in the water indicate the presence of lightning.

However, faced with this attack of lightning and Water Power, Repikak swiftly drew "Slash" and "Net" in the air, and simultaneously completed the coloring...

Sig then discovered that the things he drew with his left-hand pen would materialize, while the pen in his right hand would produce different effects with different color combinations after coloring.

Like a realistic slash, it cleaved through the electrified ocean currents, and the massive net completely bound the Thunder Shark, squeezing it into sprays of water...

Whether it's a slash or a large net, when I first drew it, my left hand wasn't very strong, but after the right hand's brushwork, it became as powerful as if special effects had been added!

While inwardly marveling at how troublesome he was, Sig also harbored some doubts...

Putting aside the coloring brush in his right hand, the one in his left hand looks somewhat like a "Brush-Brush Fruit" (a type of inkstone). However, since he hasn't painted any living things yet, Sig isn't quite sure.

In the original work, this is Kanjuro's fruit—one of the Four Slayers who was sent to "twenty years later" by Oden's Wife... and also an undercover agent of the Kurozumi clan among the Nine Red Scabbards!

Kanjuro isn't actually dead; he just started time-traveling ten years ago and is expected to "land" in another ten years.

Could it be that the Time-Time Fruit, unable to eliminate other Devil Fruit abilities, simply regenerates them immediately?

What about ten years from now?

Judging from the original work, Kanjuro's ability has always been there. It's unclear whether Repikak didn't live to see the next ten years or whether his pen lost its power on the spot.

And if we calculate it this way...

This pen is the one that ate the Brush-Brush Fruit, which is... Pen Pen Pen?

Putting aside the tongue-twisting name, Sig felt more threatened by the "coloring pen" in his right hand. The things drawn simply by "Pen Pen Pen" weren't particularly powerful, but after being enhanced by the "coloring pen"...

"Tsk tsk, trying to wipe my painting off with water? Ha." Repikak seemed to be mocking Sig's naiveté.

Sig believed that seawater could erase it—after all, it was a product of Devil Fruit ability.

It's just not that easy to "wash" the other party...

Judging from the scene as it appears, Sig's powerful physique offers no advantage against the Photoshopped Repikak, except for Gungnir's spear, which is effective against him.

Meanwhile, Repikak had also been probing Sig's abilities, and now he was beginning to believe that he had figured him out.

Then, Repikak created another air painting, instantly drawing two versions of himself, one on the left and one on the right. The left one was outlined first and then colored, while the right one was colored first and then outlined. You can see the figure that was colored first, which was initially very blurry, clearly showing that the outlining pen was also very important... In the end, they were almost completed simultaneously.

Looking at the two faces that seemed to have been taken with a beauty filter, Sig became even more convinced that the psychological profile he had read from Hispero's dream was indeed correct!

This guy is so narcissistic...

How did he manage to both idolize the Celestial Dragons and be narcissistic at the same time?

"Oh? I wonder what those fat pigs wearing masks would look like if you drew them... Even a beauty camera wouldn't be able to save them, would it?" Sig mocked.

Repikak's face immediately turned cold. "You ungrateful stray dog... you truly cannot understand the greatness of your master!"

Sig understood what he meant— Repikak thought that only someone as ugly as himself needed Photoshop, while Celestial Dragons were naturally beautiful...

They also roughly figured out Repikak's tactics, but didn't know the details yet, though they didn't show it!

"You don't really think that drawing two people makes you three times better, do you?" Sig said dismissively.

Sig unleashed the full speed of his body after being stimulated by lightning; every straight movement he made was at the level of an elite Vice Admiral's "shave."

Although "Flash of Lightning" is faster, it has the drawback of being able to use Armament Haki for a moment when it materializes, so Sig avoids revealing any opening.

"And..."

Sig spoke, he passed through two shadowy figures and directly shoved Gungnir into the face of the other's true form.

"This is such an overstatement..."

Repikak retreated, while two figures flanked him at the same time.

"Your true form cannot be hidden at all!"

Repikak himself halted his retreat, and the Trinity launched a surprise attack...

As Sig spoke, he fought against three Repikak simultaneously, pretending not to know that the seemingly real Repikak was actually just a shadowy figure; the real Repikak had already hidden to the side.

Fish-Man Gun Technique: Explosive Spinning Slash!

Sig suddenly unleashed a spear technique combining Fish-Man Karate. With each swing of his spear, a turbulent whirlpool of water was created, filled with a strangling force that instantly annihilated all three figures...

Sure enough, there was no blood splattering; only ink stains and colorful mists spread out.

Sig showed no surprise whatsoever. Without pausing, he hurled Gungnir into what appeared to be an empty space!

However, at that moment, the empty spot where Gungnir had landed suddenly Distortion as the spear thrust in, as if watercolor had been blurred...

Is this also a smokescreen?

Sig feigned surprise at just the right moment.

At the same time, Sig suddenly sensed something strange...

Heaviness, numbness, weakness, trembling, slowed thinking...

The "colorful" light that had scattered after the three figures shattered did not dissipate but instead adhered to Sig's body!

Each color seems to have a different negative effect.

Then, a mist rose behind Sig again, and then, amidst a colorful phantom, Repikak appeared. The paintbrushes in his hands had somehow been "painted" into peacock feather Short Blade, but unlike before, the blades now clearly had "special effects"!

With various negative effects piling up, Sig tried to dodge, but it seemed he still couldn't manage it in time.

Although he managed to avoid a fatal blow with a leap, the crisscrossing special effects Short Blade instantly tore through the scales, flesh, and bones of his right arm and left leg...

Despite the excruciating pain, Sig felt that the various negative effects had been suppressed considerably, and he quickly retreated in Flash of Lightning.

However, when he reappeared, he was standing on one leg, with blood continuously flowing from his broken thigh and shoulder, which only stopped when Sig consciously tensed his muscles...
