Roger: Aren't you a monster???

"Vic's abilities are going to exceed your expectations, Roger."

Whitebeard stood nearby with his arms crossed, smiling as he warned him.

"Oh, is that so?"

Roger looked at Patri Vic with interest, eager to see what he could do.

"Whoosh!"

Roger suddenly swung his sword. The blade scraped through the air with a faint sonic boom, as if tearing the whole space apart.

A massive Shark Cut shaped like a shark's fin tore across the ground at high speed, hurtling toward Patri Vic.

With Purple Steam covering his body, Patri Vic's Nintaijutsu made him considerably stronger than before.

Naturally, his speed had increased as well. He leapt high into the air to dodge the slash, but another one came right after it, rushing toward him.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

"Rumble!!!"

Four enormous walls appeared in front of Patri Vic.

Roger's Sword Qi cut through several of the stone walls, but the last one remained standing.

"Is... is this the power of his Devil Fruit?"

Gaban, watching from the sidelines, spoke with some surprise.

"Wait... is this the real power of his Devil Fruit? Then what's with the Purple Steam covering his body?" Rayleigh furrowed his brow and studied the massive stone wall.

Patri Vic, covered in Purple Steam, gave off an unmistakably fearsome aura. His strength and speed had both increased considerably.

If controlling the stone walls was Patri Vic's ability, then what was the Purple Steam?

"Are you a double Devil Fruit User?" Roger asked in confusion.

Patri Vic had displayed two completely different kinds of power in such a short time. Even Roger was taken aback.

"No, no, no. I told you before, I'm not a Devil Fruit User. I'm just a little... extraordinary." Patri Vic stood atop the massive stone wall and spoke calmly.

"Liar! Who could use power like that except a Devil Fruit User who's beyond miraculous?" Roger retorted.

"......"

Patri Vic shrugged helplessly. To be honest, he didn't know how to explain it, either.

Over the past year, he had mastered the power of Earth Release, and his Hashirama Senju character completion was almost at 100%, which would unlock new powers.

"A double Devil Fruit User... You really are a monster, Vic." Roger took a deep breath and praised him with a smile.

By now, Roger was convinced Patri Vic had two Devil Fruits.

"This guy really is extraordinary." A bead of cold sweat appeared on Rayleigh's forehead as he spoke gravely.

Watching nearby, Whitebeard's lips curled up. "Vic's abilities don't end there."

Having spent so much time with Patri Vic, Whitebeard knew just how many terrifying powers he had mastered.

Even now, thinking it over carefully left him stunned.

Patri Vic was a monster in every sense of the word!

"There's even more?" Rayleigh stared at Whitebeard and muttered. For some reason, at that very moment, he felt a sense of unease.

At those words, the many pirates watching from a distance couldn't help drawing in sharp breaths and discussing among themselves.

"D-did... did you hear that? The Rocks Pirates' officer, Pa... Patri Vic, is a double Devil Fruit User!"

"The Rocks Pirates really are a den of monsters."

"This is the first time I've heard of a double Devil Fruit User. His strength is completely beyond our reach. No wonder he's an officer of the Rocks Pirates!"

"Please, stop making things up..." Patri Vic muttered under his breath, helplessly spreading his hands.

Still, he couldn't really blame Roger and the others for not believing that he wasn't a Devil Fruit User.

After all, his abilities were incomprehensible, and they came from Hashirama Senju of the Naruto world.

In this world, only Devil Fruit Users beyond the miraculous could wield such power.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Having fully realized how powerful Patri Vic was, Roger now fought with even greater seriousness. He swung his sword three times in quick succession, sending three terrifying blasts of Sword Qi at Patri Vic.

Patri Vic was incredibly fast. He swiftly dodged all three of Roger's attacks.

"Whoosh!"

While Patri Vic was dodging the Sword Qi, Roger seized that brief opening and rushed forward, gripping his Western-style sword with both hands and bringing it down from above.

"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A massive Wood Dragon suddenly appeared beside Patri Vic, coiling around him and enclosing him completely.

"Bang!"

Roger's blade slammed into the Wood Dragon, carving a huge gash into it. But Patri Vic, protected inside the dragon, was unharmed.

"What's that now?" Rayleigh, watching from below, couldn't help blurting out.

"You...?"

Roger stared at the Wood Dragon Patri Vic had summoned, utterly incredulous.

"Nothing more than a paltry technique," Patri Vic said nonchalantly.

"Paltry???"

Roger's face went blank.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the massive Wood Dragon swung its tail and struck Roger. He was sent flying, and a huge crater appeared in the ground as clouds of dust billowed up.

"What's going on? Is this still his Devil Fruit power?" Gaban stared at the Wood Dragon overhead, beads of sweat covering his forehead.

The Purple Steam, the still-standing stone wall, and the enormous Wood Dragon—any one of those alone would have been enough to draw everyone's attention.

Yet Patri Vic had used three different kinds of power during the fight.

They didn't dare even imagine what it meant. A double Devil Fruit User was already shocking enough.

If Patri Vic was a triple Devil Fruit User, wouldn't that be absurd? Even though they'd witnessed it with their own eyes, they could hardly believe it.

"Vic, you really are a monster, aren't you?" Roger rose from the crater, brushed the dust off himself, and asked gravely.

He wasn't joking. He genuinely felt Patri Vic wasn't human.

"I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a monster. I'm just a little unusual." Patri Vic rolled his eyes.

"You call that 'a little unusual'?" Roger looked utterly confused.

Patri Vic had used three completely different kinds of power, and Roger was still struggling to process it.

He really wanted to say that Vic wasn't human.

"Am I wrong?"

"What do you think???"
