Shock of the Gild Tesoro, These Droplets Are Way Too Fierce!

Producing one Admiral every single month.

The shock in Gild Tesoro's heart was beyond description, and his body felt quite wretched at the moment. Struck by the Droplet, his arms went numb, and after standing up, he felt an even greater wave of pain.

Yet Gion's test did not stop at all; on the contrary, a single strike had completely failed to satisfy her!

"Tesoro, you'd better use your full strength, or else... you'll die under the Droplet's attack!"

"Are you kidding me!?"

Hearing Gion's voice, Gild Tesoro felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and he shivered.

This crazy woman actually still wanted to use him for target practice!?

Thinking once more of the Droplet's might, Gild Tesoro felt a sense of sheer dread and immediately began to churn his ability to burst forth!

The Droplet was already floating in mid-air, its perfectly round and smooth head aimed right at Gild Tesoro. Under Gion's control, it did not launch an attack immediately, but instead waited for Gild Tesoro to bring out all his strength!

"I refuse to believe this!"

Tesoro turned fierce, truly pulling out his most powerful strength.

"Ooh~ Not bad, this fellow has actually awakened his ability as well."

Kizaru stood in the distance watching, and seeing Gild Tesoro's ability erupt, he said with astonishment.

Aside from their original abilities, some Devil Fruits could be developed to a higher realm than before, a realm known as "Devil Fruit Awakening".

The other stationed marines, realizing the commotion was just testing the Droplet, all poked their heads out to watch.

At that moment, however, as Gild Tesoro exerted his power, all the gold across the entire Technology Field began to churn, driven by the awakened power of the Gold-Gold Fruit, and surged toward Gild Tesoro.

Inside the laboratory, Lynn, who was wholly absorbed in his work, also sensed the commotion outside, but paid it no mind.

Tesoro also discovered that he was unable to manipulate the gold currently in use inside the laboratory, as if it had been sealed off.

Even so, what he was currently driving was fierce enough. Gold gushed from the ground like a liquid fountain, enveloping Gild Tesoro and forming a gigantic humanoid shape.

From his limbs all the way to his head, under the activation of his ability, a purple pattern manifested upon it, looking incomparably mighty.

"Hahahahaha!"

Covering himself entirely in gold to make himself even stronger, Gild Tesoro had never felt so exhilarated in this moment, feeling as though he were a deity.

Power, an incomparably powerful sense of might!

"He actually has this trick up his sleeve as well."

Gion's gaze grew solemn. Perhaps Gild Tesoro could actually block the Droplet's offensive.

Still, all of this would only be known after trying it out.

In his Golden Giant Form, Gild Tesoro's confidence instantly burst to the limit, and manipulating his body, he provoked Gion, saying, "Come! I've used my full strength, so you make the Droplet unleash its full strength as well!"

"You think far too highly of yourself."

Gion curled her lip. If it truly matched Lynn's previous Droplet without any difference, it would be impossible for Gild Tesoro to endure it even with this state activated.

Immediately moving her mind, the Controller transmitted the command with almost zero latency.

The recoiling dynamic burst activated, and the Droplet in mid-air vanished from its spot in an instant!

This time, Gild Tesoro perceived the vibration transmitted through the air, and within his Golden Giant Form, he dimly caught sight of the Droplet's attack trajectory.

A straight line, a hard impact utterly devoid of any technique!

"Stop!"

At this moment, Gild Tesoro also harbored intense confidence, feeling certain that he could block the Droplet.

Golden Sacred Flame? Golden Karmic Fire? No! Without the slightest hesitation, Gild Tesoro unleashed his strongest attack, the golden divine punishment!

The gold on his body flowed, forming a golden pillar, clustered into a missile head infused with extremely powerful Armament Haki, and launched a powerful impact right along the Droplet's path!

It was not just the gold itself, but also augmented by the super-strong power of Gild Tesoro under his Golden Giant Form!

"Whoa, he's not actually going to block it, is he?"

Chaton's eyelids twitched just from watching. Nothing must go wrong here.

If the newly forged Droplet broke, the marines would also bear responsibility, and furthermore, no one dared to go look for trouble with Lynn.

"No, that kid Tesoro's strength is still far too lacking."

Kizaru gave a light smile, his expression showing no great change at this scene.

Could the strength of an Admiral be matched by a mere Gild Tesoro? Besides, what was the Droplet's greatest strength? It was defense, indestructible!

Sure enough, it was exactly as Kizaru had anticipated.

The golden divine punishment launched by Gild Tesoro, who was sworn to stop the Droplet, collided instantly with the Droplet. The massive impact scattered, forming a fierce gale that swept away in all directions.

Yet in a split second, the light of the golden divine punishment was shattered! The Droplet pushed forward unstoppably, charging straight toward the Golden Giant's body under Gild Tesoro's horrified gaze.

Bang!

The Golden Giant's chest was directly pierced right through, the Droplet flying out from its back as shattered pieces of gold fell away...

After being pierced through, crack, the tiny fractures continuously expanded. Tesoro's physical body residing within the Golden Giant suffered a blow akin to a heavy strike, leaving him utterly dazed. The power of the Gold-Gold Fruit was pierced straight through, completely unable to obstruct it, and he crashed backward with a roar, shattering apart.

"I... do I not even have enough strength to retaliate..."

Unbelievable. A strong sense of shock left Gild Tesoro with no capacity to care for any other sensations. The golden divine punishment—the strongest move he could unleash after awakening his ability—couldn'Golden Divine Punishment even last a single second?

"No, stop fighting! I can'Golden Divine Punishment take it!"

Following that, Gild Tesoro snapped out of it with a start, hurriedly shouting out to stop her.

Gion—she actually still wanted to attack with the Droplet!

"I thought you were quite wild just a moment ago?"

Gion chuckled inwardly, speaking aloud with smug triumph.

She was incomparably satisfied with the Droplet, having originally thought that this Droplet wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment reach the intensity of the one Lynn used.

Who could have imagined that defeating a fellow like Tesoro would take just one second? It was too fierce, and controlling the Droplet was simply effortless; as long as the Controller was worn on the head, a single thought was all it took for it to execute perfectly.

Convenient and powerful!

"It's just that I didn'Golden Divine Punishment clearly realize how terrifying the Droplet is..."

Tesoro chuckled sheepishly, immediately conceding and putting away the Golden Giant state to let the gold return to its original place.

His several confidants and subordinates swallowed hard, utterly not daring to make a sound.

What sort of figure was Lord Tesoro in their eyes? He had always been domineering, so seeing him like this now was truly unbelievable.

"According to those people in the Holy Land, the outer durability of the Droplet can completely withstand an Admiral's full-powered strike. Remember, not Admiral-level, but the full power of us Three Admirals."

Light gathered as Kizaru walked closer to the Droplet, a trace of excitement hard to conceal in his eyes.

This was still the first unit Lynn had delivered to the Gorosei, and there were two more units underneath.

Hearing Kizaru's evaluation, everyone around could not help but gasp in amazement. They simply had no idea how to describe the shock they felt at this moment, and could only say that Figarland was truly the strongest genius of recent years—the era of pirates was genuinely coming to an end.
