The Shy S-Snake Woman

Wood had some recollection of this Devil Fruit ability, which turned body parts into blades and gave them the ability to cut through anything.

It seemed to be the ability of Mr. 1, one of Crocodile's subordinates. The fruit was called the Dice-Dice Fruit, if he remembered correctly.

S-Hawk's overall strength was probably inferior to Hawkeye's. After all, among the former Shichibukai, that man was in a league of his own.

Though he wore the title of Shichibukai, he wouldn't necessarily back down from a fight with one of the Four Emperors. Compared with the other Shichibukai, he was clearly on another level.

Although the Seraphim had been created using the Lineage Factors of the former Shichibukai and possessed personalities and abilities similar to their originals, some things simply weren't innate.

Take Hawkeye, the World's Greatest Swordsman. Had he been born the world's greatest swordsman?

Obviously not. Among the countless powerful people on the seas, Hawkeye had stood out not through the power of a Devil Fruit, but through his swordsmanship, combat experience, and skill.

No matter how impressive S-Hawk was, he didn't possess Hawkeye's combat sense or skill. That was why Wood had just said he was inferior to the original.

However, S-Hawk now also had the Dice-Dice Fruit ability, which Hawkeye lacked. That made up for his shortcoming, and at least made him much stronger than when he had only Hawkeye's Lineage Factor.

Even after Wood's Rankyaku sent him flying, S-Hawk was completely unharmed. The Lunarians' terrifying defensive power was another thing Hawkeye didn't possess.

Thinking of that, Wood couldn't help wondering what would happen if Hawkeye ever faced S-Hawk.

They had similar swordsmanship, and both wielded the world's strongest slashes. Could those slashes break through a Lunarian's defenses?

Perhaps sensing that Wood was too powerful, S-Hawk decided
