At that moment, Rob Lucci and the others were all greatly shocked.
Blueno had actually been defeated just like that!
Most importantly, none of them had seen how Natsuya had done it!
"The Door-Door Fruit!?"
After coming back to their senses, Rob Lucci and the others looked at Natsuya with growing solemnity.
Kaku could not help but ask hesitantly, "Is this a Paramecia Devil Fruit ability!?"
He knew that Devil Fruits were divided into three categories.
Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan!
Natsuya's ability was clearly not a Zoan, nor did it resemble a Logia.
If that was the case, then it could only be an unfathomable Paramecia!
Of course, Paramecia abilities also differed from one another.
Some Paramecia abilities were simple and easy to understand.
But some Paramecia were extremely bizarre, with effects that were even harder to imagine.
And clearly, judging from what had just happened, Natsuya's Door-Door Fruit ability seemed to belong to the latter category!
Simply put, it was an incomprehensible Paramecia ability!
Realizing this, Kaku's heart immediately tightened.
If it had merely been a Zoan Fruit ability, then they would have had Natsuya completely under control.
But if it was an unfathomable Paramecia ability, then that was another matter!
At that moment, even Rob Lucci, their leader, showed a grave look in his eyes.
After testing the waters, Natsuya's lips curled into a smile.
"Don't be nervous. That was just a minor move of my Fruit ability. I call it Door-Strike Dog."
Natsuya's inspiration for this move had come from the famous technique of striking a cow across a mountain.
As had been mentioned before,
the direction in which Natsuya developed his Door-Door Fruit ability was currently focused mainly on improving his combat power!
So at the time, he had considered how to use the Door-Door Fruit's ability to enhance his fighting strength.
The Different Dimension had given Natsuya some inspiration.
In his view, since he could cross distances through the Different Dimension, could he also use it to make attacks cross distances!?
With that idea, Door-Strike Dog was born!
The principle behind this move was actually very simple!
When Natsuya launched an attack, he activated the Door-Door Fruit to open the Different Dimension, sent the attack inside, then opened another door beside the target and released the attack from there!!
As a result, from the outside, it looked as though Natsuya's attack vanished in midair before bizarrely appearing right in front of the target!
Of course, this method had its limitations.
For example, if Natsuya did not use his hands to launch an attack, then he could not open a door with the Door-Door Fruit at the same time.
When using Tempest Kick, for instance, Natsuya could at most send the Tempest Kick into the Different Dimension, but he could not release it again in time.
But if he used Finger Pistol instead, there was no problem!
After all, Natsuya used his hands to perform Finger Pistol!
So, if Rob Lucci and the others had observed carefully earlier, they would have noticed that when Natsuya lightly jabbed the air with his fingers, tiny Air Doors had appeared both in midair and beside Blueno!
The doors had simply appeared and vanished too quickly.
Naturally,
Natsuya could only make it so smooth, swift, and covert because of his training. Otherwise, it would have been impossible.
And now that he had already made his move, Natsuya naturally did not hesitate any longer and jabbed at the air again.
This time, both hands moved at once, his index fingers turning into afterimages as they thrust into the space before him.
"Door-Strike Dog: Chain Finger Pistol!"
Rob Lucci and the others' expressions immediately changed.
At that moment, they all realized something.
This was clearly the move used against Blueno!
It was just being used on them now!
Sure enough, a ripple passed through the air around Rob Lucci and the others. Tiny Air Doors opened, and fierce Finger Pistols shot out!
Apart from Kalifa, large numbers of Finger Pistols appeared beside both Rob Lucci and Kaku!
"Paper Art!"
"Iron Body!"
Neither of them dared to be careless and hurriedly used Rokushiki.
Rob Lucci's body suddenly became soft and light, as though he had turned into a sheet of paper. Swaying with the finger blasts, he avoided every Finger Pistol.
Kaku, on the other hand, hardened his body, intending to take the attack head-on.
But his expression soon changed slightly.
Although the Finger Pistols did not pierce through his body, they still caused him excruciating pain.
Kaku was shaken. Only then did he fully understand why Blueno had been unable to defeat Natsuya.
His Rokushiki was truly powerful!
Realizing this, Kaku no longer dared to take the attacks head-on and quickly moved back to widen the distance.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
Although Kaku dodged those fingers that flashed toward him, the sound of air tearing still rang out in midair as countless invisible, sharp, hardened objects continued shooting at him!
Flying Finger Pistol!?
Kaku's face changed at once. Caught off guard, he was struck by several Flying Finger Pistols in rapid succession, leaving bloody holes across his body!
Such injuries immediately made his face turn pale.
On the other side, Rob Lucci's expression also darkened when he saw this.
He had not expected that Natsuya's Door-Strike Dog could not only combine with Finger Pistol for elusive attacks, but also with Flying Finger Pistol!
As a result, Kaku had suffered a major loss after being caught unprepared!
Kalifa, however, was stunned.
The storm-like barrage of Finger Pistols kept devouring Rob Lucci and Kaku, yet it alone avoided her!
Was it because Natsuya had no time to attack her?
Obviously not.
Then the answer was self-evident.
Kalifa gave Natsuya a deep look and suddenly said, "I'll go save Blueno!"
As soon as she spoke, Kalifa plunged straight into the sea.
Rob Lucci frowned, but he could not be bothered with Kalifa. His figure flashed away at once.
"Shave!"
While Natsuya was kicking a man when he was down and covering Kaku with even more Finger Pistols, Rob Lucci appeared above the pirate ship as though he had teleported!
After glancing down at Natsuya, Rob Lucci said nothing. His legs became afterimages as they stomped and kicked explosively.
"Tempest Kick: Rain!"
In that instant, azure light flashed wildly as countless sharp slashes rained down like a torrential downpour!
Rob Lucci intended to wipe out both Natsuya and the ship in one wave!
On the other side, Kaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Those bizarre Finger Pistols that clung to him like maggots on a bone had finally stopped.
He looked toward Natsuya and realized that Rob Lucci had launched a fierce assault against him!
Even Kaku's scalp tingled at the sight of such an overwhelming attack!
Clearly, Natsuya was too busy to look after himself.
This wave of Tempest Kick Rain should cause him enormous trouble, right!?
But just as Kaku thought that, Natsuya smiled again.
"Heh, perfect. I can test that move too."
At this point, he had indeed stopped Door-Strike Dog and Chain Finger Pistol, but that did not mean Rob Lucci's attack could cause him any trouble!
At that moment, Natsuya suddenly reached out and pressed his hand forward.
"Rashomon!"
As his voice fell, the space before Natsuya rumbled violently.
A massive gate, comparable in size to the pirate ship, suddenly emerged.
Its surface resembled a fanged demon face, incomparably thick and sturdy. The moment it appeared, it effortlessly blocked every Tempest Kick!
"Hmm!?"
Seeing this, Rob Lucci and Kaku were stunned once again.
