The young Cracker and Charlotte Smoothie, along with the only eighteen-year-old Snack and Katakuri—this was the future.
But Perospero was rushing over nearby atop a candy construct, with Daifuku and other sons and officers aboard it as well.
If they all surrounded him and Akainu together, with an enraged Katakuri added to the mix, even if they did not die, they would be skinned alive.
Fortunately, they had withdrawn smoothly and completed their mission perfectly.
No, this mission had been completed far beyond expectations. After all, the results were simply too great!
First, Vergo, the mission's primary target, had been killed outright.
Second, Gaspard, known as the Navy's stain, had been burned into "syrup" on the spot by Akainu. The Gummy-Gummy Fruit was simply too heavily countered by Akainu's power.
After barely one exchange, Gaspard had been beaten half to death. If Charlotte Oven had not helped stall for time afterward, he probably would have died even faster.
Unfortunately, everyone aboard Gaspard's ship had only bought Charlotte Oven a little time. Once Dawn finished off Vergo and arrived, they still met the same miserable end.
Yet this time, not only had they achieved abundant results, Dawn himself had gained even more!
First was Charlotte Oven's feedback, which gave Dawn's strength a considerable boost. If Dawn had trained by himself, it would have taken quite some time to achieve the same result.
More importantly, there was no limit to this feedback. Dawn could keep growing stronger without end. It could be said that this was the most terrifying aspect of Dawn's ability after he had developed it.
At the same time, Charlotte Oven's Heat-Heat Fruit was now his!
Dawn had not been idle during these past few years in the New World. He had accumulated quite a bit of soul energy,
