Pirate: I Loaded the Game Panel

Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form!

A top-tier Devil Fruit that granted its eater power like that of a Buddha!

Using Geppo to kick himself into the air, Sengoku extended a palm toward Adrian in the distance and shook his head.

"White Ghost, given enough time, you might one day grow into someone like Redfield or Shiki... Unfortunately, that's exactly why I have to eliminate you."

Blinding light erupted from Sengoku's palm.
