Why was Teach so excited?
Because the Yamata no Orochi Fruit suited Teach far better than it suited Kurozumi Hachinosu.
The Yamata no Orochi Fruit's unique mental abilities were a perfect match for Teach.
With his formidable mind, Teach held an absolute advantage against almost any opponent, apart from Charlotte Linglong, the soul-related Devil Fruit user.
Especially with the amplification provided by the Yamata no Orochi Fruit.
Teach had already displayed signs of this unique ability.
The mental intimidation produced by Teach's Conqueror's Haki was far stronger than that of other great pirates on his level.
Its oppressive force was far more terrifying.
Kurozumi Hachinosu was enduring Teach's Conqueror's Haki, along with the invisible gravity.
To be precise, anyone who had awakened Conqueror's Haki would be more compatible with the Yamata no Orochi Fruit than Kurozumi Hachinosu.
The stronger one's mind, the more effectively one could unleash the Yamata no Orochi Fruit's mental attacks.
Kurozumi Hachinosu had clearly failed to do so.
In Teach's hands, however, that effect would be pushed to its limit.
It would give Teach another weapon in his arsenal.
Teach had originally chosen the Yamata no Orochi Fruit as part of Lubbock's plan.
Not only because it was a top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that could greatly enhance his body.
Or because it was easy to obtain.
The main reasons were the eight consciousnesses inherent to the Yamata no Orochi Fruit and its seven additional lives.
As for the deadly poison Kurozumi Hachinosu had displayed earlier, Teach did not particularly value it.
He knew he would rarely have a chance to use that ability.
Against a true opponent, it would also be difficult to make it effective in combat.
He had his own combat system; he was not merely a Yamata no Orochi Fruit user.
