Ryokugyu's Ability
Read the best completed novels on [Completed Novel Website]:
The earth shook violently, and a figure crashed to the ground, his black curly hair disheveled, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Wow, that's amazing! I can barely hold on."
Rubbing his chest, which was covered in wounds, Ryokugyu stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Give it your all, or else..."
As Heracles entered full beast form, the thin wings on its back trembled.
"Indeed, the Navy is in a bad situation right now. In that case, let's have a good fight!"
After glancing around, Ryokugyu stared at Heracles, and his body began to change.
Its figure rose higher, and branches appeared, like living tentacles reaching into the hard rock.
"Boom boom boom"
The earth cracked open, and countless thick branches began to grow taller, and sturdy trees rose up, instantly transforming into a forest.
A world wonder: a forest suddenly appeared on the battlefield, leaving everyone stunned. Was the war about to escalate into jungle warfare?
But why does looking at this forest give me the creeps? It's like a hellish place with its gaping maw, waiting for life to enter.
"Ah"
Screams filled the air as some of the Revolutionary Army and pirates caught in the blast were impaled through the chest by countless branches and left hanging in mid-air before they could even react.
The vines strangled and the thorns stood tall; it was a place of utter death.
All the people buried in the forest turned into mummies and fertilizer, while Ryokugyu's stamina was completely restored.
"Leave, leave this forest quickly."
They rushed to get to the forest, but those outside had witnessed their companions being impaled and turned into mummies. Inside, even a single leaf could kill.
This is a deadly forest.
"What kind of ability is this? It created a forest with a wave of its hand."
"Special Logia - Wood-Wood Fruit"
"Wood-Wood Fruit? I've never heard of it."
It also has another name: Plant-Plant Fruit.
"Is this Marine Admiral Ryokugyu's ability?"
"As expected, it's an incredibly powerful monster."
The audience gasped in amazement. Just imagine how terrifying the ability to control plants is! Especially on an island, it would make one a true land-based overlord.
Many people don't know that there's actually a lower level of Plant-Plant Fruit: the Shove-Shove Fruit. Both involve manipulating plants, but they are quite different. First, the Shove-Shove Fruit requires two prerequisites: seeds and the ability to move the plant. Moreover, the plants it manipulates are mostly just vines.
As for the Wood-Wood Fruit, it has none of these limitations, because it can control all plants.
Standing atop the forest, Heracles sensed the danger emanating from below and took a deep breath.
At that moment, on the opposite side, Ryokugyu's body was half-wooden, and he raised one hand and swung it at Heracles. Instantly, the entire jungle erupted, and countless sharp wooden spikes shot straight into the sky.
With a flap of its thin wings, Heracles became a blur, leaping back and forth among the wooden spikes.
"Softening, Forest Entanglement."
Heracles' expression changed drastically, and his scalp tingled as the hard wooden spikes softened, forming a cage that slowly compressed him.
He was trapped.
He threw a punch, but the cage was even more secure than he had imagined, remaining completely still.
As it slowly evolved, spikes began to appear inside the cage, compressing Heracles like a hedgehog.
A tremendous crisis loomed, Heracles' face darkened as white mist began to rise from his right fist.
"Boom"
With a deafening roar, Heracles appeared in mid-air, covered in blood, looking at Ryokugyu with dread.
"The Forest Hand"
Ryokugyu didn't move at all, but the entire forest began to tremble, and huge green hands rose up, blocking all of Heracles's paths.
With a series of loud explosions, Heracles dodged in a sorry state, and the battle situation changed dramatically.
In another direction, Luffy, fleeing for their lives, encountered a huge crisis when a masked PvP appeared before them.
A bone spur formed on his right hand. P0 didn't say a word; he immediately launched a deadly attack.
"Gear Second - je Rocket Launcher."
With a cold snort, P0's left hand swiftly transformed into a bone spike shield, its surface covered with sharp spikes.
With a sharp pain in his hands and blood spurting out, Luffy crashed to the ground.
"Go to hell!"
"Boom"
A massive explosion erupted, but Ivankov managed to stop it at the last second.
"Naval support?"
After kicking P0 away, Ivankov looked at the other battle zones and, as he had guessed, P0 had also appeared on Fire Fist Ace's side.
"Ivankov, the Okama King"
"Fifteen?"
Looking down, Ivankov saw the word "Fifteen" embroidered on the chest of his robe.
Presumably, the code name for this P0 is Fifteen!
With a single step, the area within a hundred meters centered on the Fifteen was reduced to a wasteland of withered bones.
"Devil Fruit ability, or perhaps Awakening one."
Protecting Luffy and his companions, Ivankov kept retreating until the assimilation stopped at his feet.
"You guys go first, this guy is tough to deal with."
With a solemn expression, Ivankov was not confident of victory, because he had already been injured by Aokiji.
"P0?"
Fortunately, the 15th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates arrived and, seeing the assimilated ground, set his sights on the Fifteen.
"Friendly thought, this guy is no ordinary person."
"You've lost weight," Ivankov remarked.
"Don't worry." Garuma readily accepted Ivankov's reminder.
"Let's take care of him together."
"Just what I wanted."
The two of them rushed out at the same time and immediately launched a fierce attack on Fifteen.
"You overestimate yourselves. I'll let you die knowing why. I am a bone man who ate the Paramecia Bone-Bone Fruit."
Covered in bone spikes, Fifteen stirred his mind, and the assimilated earth began to strangle them, actually suppressing Ivankov and Garuma.
Flames raged, the intense heat continued to Burning, and the Ice Age descended on the opposite side. The collision caused steam to rise and create a white haze around them; coughing up blood continuously, Ace and Aokiji's fists collided, creating distance between them.
Just as Ace regained his footing, a figure suddenly rushed out of the white mist, holding a dagger and stabbing it into Ace's heart.
The sound of listening had already detected that Ace had produced a fiery spear, which also pierced towards the attacker.
Without any intention of dodging, the assassin ran straight into Ace's fiery spear, his dagger piercing out like a venomous snake.
Without any hindrance, the fire spear pierced through the assassin's body, while the dagger reached Ace's heart.
Goosebumps rose on his skin. Ace didn't have time to transform into his elemental form and could only dodge the fatal blow by shifting his body to the side.
Flesh and blood parted, Ace cried out in pain as the assassin kicked him in the chest.
Debris flew everywhere. Ace fell to the ground, quickly got up, looked down at his blood-soaked chest, and felt a moment of disorientation.
That dagger was poisoned.
It was visibly clear that Ace's lips were turning purple, and his originally bright red blood was beginning to turn black.
"P0."
Beside him, Aokiji looked at the suddenly appearing P0, then at Ace's horrific poisoned state, and his face darkened.
And judging from his clothing, this P0's code name is Fourteen.
"Vulnerable."
Ripples spread across the scene as P0 darted out once more, ruthless and intent on delivering a fatal blow to Ace.
Ace's vision blurred, Ace staggered and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, Vista rushed out with his twin swords and blocked P0's dagger.
At the same time, white mist churned, half of Jozu's body turned crystalline, and with the sound of bones breaking, P0 coughed up blood and was sent flying.
"Ace!"
Crouching down, Vista looked at Ace, whose face was covered in bruises, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Vista, take Ace and retreat."
Jozu's face darkened as he watched Fourteen and Aokiji get back to their feet.
Be careful.
Without saying much, Vista grabbed Ace and fled.
"Trying to leave?"
The falling rocks tumbled and Vista was suddenly struck hard and sent flying, while the disoriented Ace also crashed to the ground.
He quickly got up, and another P0 was blocking Vista way; the armband on his chest showed the code name Sixteen.
Clearly, these three P0s represent support from the World Government.
