"How is that possible?!"
Gladius's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the completely unscathed Jinx Meow.
As someone who had eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, it was only natural that he was immune to his own ability, but why was the "Manic Blue Cat," who had eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, immune to his ability too?!
"...So mine is the inferior fruit..."
With the Donquixote Family's accumulated knowledge, Gladius naturally knew about superior and inferior fruits. Until now, however, he had always thought his Bomb-Bomb Fruit was the superior one.
"But even if the Bomb-Bomb Fruit is superior, complete immunity to my ability should still be impossible..."
Gladius quickly calmed down and began analyzing how to turn the situation around.
Although the Donquixote Family's overall strength was fairly average in the latter half of the Grand Line, and their personalities were rather bizarre, the Heavenly Yaksha's subordinates did have some commendable intelligence.
Well, of course, that was mainly thanks to the comparison their peers provided.
"...I'll test it again."
A single exchange wasn't enough to tell him much, so Gladius raised his arm again.
Jinx Meow, however, wasn't the sort to stand there foolishly and let someone attack.
The little lunatic cat grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming little fangs. "I was going to compare Devil Fruit Abilities with you, but since you used a weapon first..."
"Let's start shooting, meow! Hahahahaha!"
(=`=)l▄︻╤
Before Gladius could attack again, the little lunatic cat whipped out her Pow-Pow and began spraying him with gunfire.
And...
"I can make bullets explode too, meow!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
Compared to the paltry mechanism on Gladius's arm, Jinx Meow's bullets came faster and in greater numbers. Most importantly...
Their explosions were more powerful.
So Gladius had no choice but to flee again.
