A massive, thick gate with a demonic face and fangs appeared out of thin air.
It effortlessly blocked every Tempest Kick slash!
Rob Lucci and Kaku were both stunned once again.
Without a doubt, this enormous gate that had appeared from nowhere was also part of Natsuya's Door-Door Fruit ability!
But the problem was, wasn't Natsuya's Door-Door Fruit ability far too bizarre!?
Door-Strike Dog had been strange enough, yet now he had actually summoned an indestructible gate!?
What exactly was going on!?
For a moment, even Rokushiki Superhumans from the CP Department like Rob Lucci and Kaku were completely dumbfounded!
They had to know that they came from the CP Department directly under the World Government, and their knowledge surpassed that of any other faction.
Calling them learned and talented would not be an exaggeration!
Especially when it came to combat theory!
This was also why, in the future, Rob Lucci could immediately see through the principles behind Luffy's Gear Second, while Kaku could use his Giraffe Fruit with ease as soon as he ate it!
In short, they were extremely knowledgeable about everything related to battle.
Devil Fruit abilities naturally fell within that scope as well.
Yet within their understanding, they had never encountered such a bizarre ability!
Paramecia abilities were famous for being unfathomable, but wasn't this a little too unfathomable!?
Natsuya, the person involved, was not surprised in the slightest.
Looking at the Rashomon before him, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
There was no doubt that this Rashomon was a technique he had developed by drawing inspiration from the Rashomon in Naruto.
This technique seemed vastly different from Door-Strike Dog, but in truth, the two were deeply connected.
And that connection was doors!
To put it in one sentence, his Door-Door Fruit ability could develop any technique related to doors!
Door-Strike Dog opened doors in the air and made use of the Different Dimension.
Rashomon, on the other hand, used the Door-Door Fruit's power to create a gate with terrifying defensive capabilities!
Weren't both of them applications of the Door-Door Fruit ability!?
At this point, some people might think that was absurd.
But upon closer thought, it was not absurd at all.
Take Tyrant Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit as an example.
Tyrant Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability gave him a pair of paw pads in his palms that could repel anything.
Originally, many people believed that "anything" referred to attacks, such as bullets, kicks, and slashes.
Yet no one had expected that "anything" would also include air, fatigue, and even injuries!
Air was one thing, but what were fatigue and injuries supposed to be?
That was already on the conceptual level, wasn't it?
So it was not strange at all for Natsuya to use the Door-Door Fruit's power to construct Rashomon in the Pirate World.
In the future, Natsuya even intended to follow Tyrant Kuma's example and develop techniques on the conceptual level.
Of course.
That did not mean such development could be accomplished just by wanting it.
Besides sufficient imagination, other powers were also needed as support.
Those powers referred to the Devil Fruit ability's level, as well as the consumption involved in using the ability.
As things stood, Natsuya clearly had no problem with the consumption of using his ability.
Being able to train in Rokushiki and even raise it to the highest level meant that his physical constitution was already extremely powerful.
As for the Devil Fruit ability's level, that was naturally not a problem either. When Natsuya first acquired the Door-Door Fruit ability, he used Battle Points to raise it two levels in a row, bringing it to the advanced level.
That was also why Natsuya had been able to successfully develop Rashomon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Immediately afterward, the sound of air tearing rang out again.
Rob Lucci came back to his senses, flashed to a different direction, and unleashed another barrage of Tempest Kicks at Natsuya.
Although the Door-Door Fruit ability Natsuya displayed was far too unbelievable, it was naturally impossible for that alone to make him retreat.
At the same time, Kaku did not remain idle. Gritting his teeth, he flew to Natsuya's other side and joined Rob Lucci in besieging Natsuya with Tempest Kicks.
"Tempest Kick: Chaos!"
An even denser rain of Tempest Kick slashes once again enveloped Natsuya and his ship.
This time, even Rashomon seemed useless.
There were simply too many Tempest Kicks, while there was only one Rashomon.
But just as Rob Lucci and Kaku thought they could finally cause Natsuya some trouble, another bizarre sight appeared!
Natsuya murmured softly and pressed down with both hands again.
"Triple Rashomon!"
Boom! Boom!
Following the Rashomon from earlier, two more identical Rashomon gates with demonic faces and fangs rose at Natsuya's command, nearly covering the sky above him!
Clang! Clang! Clang!!!!
The dense Tempest Kick slashes struck the gates and were all deflected or neutralized.
The three Rashomon gates defended Natsuya and even the pirate ship without a single gap!
Rob Lucci and Kaku were stunned yet again upon seeing this.
It turned out that Natsuya could summon not just one such gate, but three!
Yes, three of them!
Natsuya smiled.
Since he was imitating and drawing inspiration from Naruto's Rashomon, he naturally had to imitate it properly.
In Naruto, the minimum number of Rashomon gates was three!
Since that was the case, he naturally could not have fewer.
In fact, Natsuya had even considered directly developing Fivefold Rashomon.
But whether it was because of his Devil Fruit ability's level or the consumption involved, he had not succeeded!
Still, that did not matter. Triple Rashomon was enough for the time being.
After all, these three Rashomon gates were not merely stacked Rashomon. Each layer possessed a different effect.
The first layer was sturdiness, the second weakened attacks, and the third dispersed them!
Of course, because it was a technique developed with the Door-Door Fruit, Natsuya's Triple Rashomon did not overlap in a fixed formation like it did in Naruto. Instead, it could block attacks from any direction according to his will.
That was precisely why not a single Tempest Kick slash could get through.
The three enormous gates even concealed Natsuya's figure entirely.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Natsuya smiled and used Door-Strike Dog once more!
His finger pointed through the air, and Finger Pistol burst forth!
With Rashomon concealing him this time, Natsuya's attack became even more covert!
"What!?"
Rob Lucci and Kaku's expressions changed dramatically.
Rob Lucci was still all right. The instant he encountered the attack, he reacted and dealt with it.
As for Kaku, although he also quickly activated Iron Body to defend himself, the bloody hole in his body drastically weakened Iron Body's effect. As a result, Natsuya's Finger Pistol became even more effective and inflicted severe injuries on him once again!
With the injuries piling up, Kaku was completely gravely wounded. He could no longer maintain his footing and fell downward.
Thus, in the next moment, just as Kalifa had rescued Blueno, she was shocked to discover that Kaku had fallen as well!
Natsuya was about to finish him off, but at that moment, a leopard with savage light in its eyes squeezed through the gap between the Rashomon gates!
