The moment those words were spoken, everyone's nerves tensed instantly.
As Benn Beckman said, Rockstar's attack just now did indeed catch people off guard.
However, Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors...
They probably wouldn't behave that badly.
"Hehe, First Mate Benn Beckman, if Captain Shanks could use his Devil Fruit powers, he could easily dodge the attacks." Rockstar landed dozens of meters away, completely unconcerned about his companions and seniors who were eyeing him menacingly, and said with a smile.
"However, I regret to inform you that this place has become Magic-Sealing Zone, and all Devil Fruit abilities have been rendered ineffective."
" Katakuri, don't you find it strange that Zero-sama didn't show up, instead leaving those Pacifista on Whole Cake Island?"
"Actually, this isn't some kind of deception; it's the key to using the Magic-Sealing Zone."
Devil Fruit powers malfunction?
Whitebeard's expression changed slightly, and he said urgently.
" Red-Haired, are you Devil Fruit User?"
"No, my Devil Fruit ability is also unusable."
Whitebeard grabbed the naginata in his hand, intending to activate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.
Unfortunately, the shockwaves that were originally able to move at will have now vanished without a trace, as if they had been thrown into the sea.
" Pops, mine won't do either."
"Mine too!"
Marco and the others began to lose their composure.
However, after trying repeatedly, they realized that no matter how they tried, it was all in vain.
This is for those who use Devil Fruit abilities as their primary combat technique.
This is absolutely devastating news.
"What's wrong, Whitebeard, Marco? Are you surprised?" Rockstar sneered.
"However, there's something even more surprising."
Puppet String!
Imperceptible threads fell from the sky like a torrential rain.
Whitebeard and other powerful figures tensed up instantly.
The Devil Fruit ability within him had indeed vanished without a trace, and his strength had been greatly reduced.
However, faced with the sudden downpour of fine rain, it reacted quickly and dodged to avoid it.
At the same time, don't forget to destroy the silk thread.
Unfortunately, very few people in the arena were capable of handling this sudden change.
Many people were instantly parasitized by the silk threads. Before they could even react, they raised their weapons and rushed out to kill in all directions.
Bang!
Marco raised his hand to block an attack from one of his men, his face Kotetsu ashen.
"Isn't this Doflamingo's String-String Fruit ability? Is he a new user?"
Seeing the chaotic situation, Marco and the others did manage to stop the attacks from all sides in time, while also trying to remove the Parasite String from their companions.
Having suddenly lost their Devil Fruit powers, and facing their former comrades, they were unable to strike hard and could only react with restraint.
"Heh heh, I never thought I'd actually be standing here, toying with one of the Four Emperors. Looks like working for the Five Elders isn't so bad after all."
A familiar, eerie laugh echoed in the sky.
Doflamingo, clad in a red Doflamingo robe, was the first to catch everyone's eye.
At the same time, a huge warship was approaching from not far away.
There is also a specially made disc on top, similar to a skynet, which is ten meters in size.
The people standing on the ship's deck were none other than Rob Lucci and his entourage, who had been promoted from CP9 to CP0.
Upon seeing this group of uninvited guests, especially the resurrected Doflamingo, everyone's faces Kotetsu.
Whitebeard swiftly subdued one of his men, destroyed the parasitic Puppet String, and roared urgently.
"Quickly inform Bai Yu that the Five Elders have another trick up their sleeve here."
"At the same time, find someone to break through as soon as possible, destroy the Pacifista around us, and regain control of the Devil Fruit as quickly as possible. Only in this way can we protect ourselves."
"Heh heh, Pops, you're thinking too simply. I only realized how terrifying the Five Elders ' methods could be after I died once myself." Blackbeard's loud laughter suddenly rang out.
"I forgot to tell you, the Magic-Sealing Zone can indeed cause people to lose their Devil Fruit abilities."
"But our real purpose is to retrieve the Devil Fruit."
" Pops, you and Roger were so close. You met him once after he returned from the final island, Laugh Tale."
"Since that time, you must have learned from him that the final island, Laugh Tale, is Magic-Sealing Zone, and the closer you get to the center of the Devil Fruit tree, the less useful the Devil Fruit abilities become. That's why you gave up on going to Laugh Tale, right?"
Teach laughed cruelly.
"However, you probably don't know that the Devil Tree was planted by Lord Imu eight hundred years ago."
"According to Lady Imu, that's her backyard, and the Devil Fruit abilities are hers to possess. Whether or not she allows others to use them is just a matter of her whim. If she doesn't allow them, taking them back is also just a matter of her whim. All the power you've accumulated will become ours."
"As for Bai Yu, even if he comes, we have already prepared ways to deal with him."
" Lucci, let's do it!"
"Shut up. CP0 doesn't need you pirates interfering with our work," Kalifa scoffed.
However, the enormous Heavenly Net Compass behind it emitted a piercing roar and started operating directly.
As the invisible force of sound waves recoiled and spread outwards...
The sea area within a ten-kilometer radius was instantly enveloped.
Unexpectedly, beams of light of various colors surged forth from Whitebeard and the others' bodies.
It eventually formed a sphere of light and disappeared into the Heavenly Net Compass.
Even Shanks, the Red-Haired Shanks, is no exception.
Red-Haired Shanks was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Just moments before, the Devil Fruit power within him had indeed vanished without a trace.
The feeling Shanks has now is one of emptiness inside.
It was as if something important had suddenly disappeared.
The thought of all the strength I had painstakingly accumulated filled me with joy.
Now it's been taken away so easily, as if it were nothing.
This outcome is absolutely unacceptable to Red-Haired Shanks.
" Benn Beckman, kill them!" Red-Haired Shanks the Roar hysterically.
Benn Beckman's expression also turned grim.
They never imagined that their carefully planned trump card would end up benefiting someone else.
For them, this feeling was like punching cotton; they had anger but nowhere to vent it.
" Birdcage!"
Doflamingo grinned menacingly, and a white thread shot out from his body.
The next moment, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, it quickly descended upon the island.
It forms a huge Birdcage made of silk threads.
The sudden attack instantly blocked Red-Haired Shanks ' path.
