One Piece: Silent-Silent Fruit

Chapter 400 51

"He really awakened his Devil Fruit…" Law said in shock.

He never expected Rosinante's guess to actually be correct.

Boa Python had truly pushed his Devil Fruit to the level of Awakening.

And it was no wonder Law was so stunned.

Even in the New World, the so-called most dangerous sea in the world, awakened Devil Fruit users were extremely rare.

Doflamingo achieving Awakening had already shocked him greatly.

But because Doflamingo had always seemed extraordinary, Law had gradually accepted it.

Yet now—

Boa Python had also awakened his fruit.

That meant this battle contained two awakened Devil Fruit users at once.

Such a situation was unbelievably rare.

How could he not be astonished?

"Fufufufu… to awaken an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit…" Doflamingo laughed.

"What a monster."

Although Zoan-type fruits were generally easier to awaken than other categories, Ancient Zoans and Mythical Zoans were exceptions.

Their difficulty was even greater than Paramecia fruits unless the user's physique was exceptionally compatible with that specific beast.

So even Doflamingo was genuinely surprised.

"Well then…"

"Let's see whether your Ancient Zoan Awakening is stronger…"

"Or my awakened Paramecia."

Doflamingo placed one hand on the ground.

Instantly, the earth beneath him transformed into countless white threads.

The threads surged upward like gigantic waves, rolling forward like a raging tsunami toward the Savage Giant Python.

More and more white threads emerged.

Soon, the entire underground harbor seemed to transform into a sea of white string.

The tidal waves of thread quickly engulfed the gigantic python.

From within the waves, enormous white cords shot outward and wrapped themselves around the python's body like massive ropes.

Although the Savage Giant Python's body was enormous, the scale of the white thread ocean was equally immense.

More and more threads continuously wrapped around the serpent's body.

"The giant python's been bound by Doffy's strings!" Trebol shouted excitedly.

"Once Doffy's strings fully bind someone, escaping isn't easy," Diamante added excitedly.

"And because the python's body is so massive, even more strings can wrap around it."

"There's no way it can break free now."

"From here on out, Boa Python can only be beaten passively!"

"It looks like his enormous size became his weakness instead," Pica said.

"Young Master really is amazing."

"Is this battle finally ending?" Law muttered.

Rosinante simply continued drinking silently.

"Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart: Feather Strike!"

Doflamingo waved a hand.

Countless sharp white threads filled the air.

Each tip was coated in Armament Haki.

Rows upon rows of razor-sharp strings shot violently toward the gigantic python like a storm of bullets.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The Haki-coated strings slammed against the Savage Giant Python's scales, producing metallic explosions.

Sparks erupted continuously across its massive body.

The strings couldn't even pierce through the python's scales.

"What incredible defense…" Doflamingo's expression shifted slightly.

"So this is the durability of an Ancient Zoan?"

"But let's see how long you can endure it."

"My strings are endless."

As he spoke, Doflamingo accelerated the speed of the attacks even further.

The strings were already unbelievably sharp and coated with Armament Haki.

Now, with the increased velocity, their penetrating power multiplied drastically.

No matter how tough the python's body was, some areas naturally possessed weaker defenses than others.

As the attacks intensified, several strings finally pierced into vulnerable points on the python's body.

"Fufufufu… looks like you can't hold on anymore," Doflamingo laughed.

But the moment he finished speaking—

His expression suddenly changed drastically.

The wounds pierced by the strings healed almost instantly the moment the threads were pulled back out.

"How is that possible?!" Doflamingo exclaimed in disbelief.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"That healing speed is practically comparable to Rosinante's Healing Seal!"

"Doflamingo…" the Savage Giant Python's massive voice echoed through the harbor.

"You've had your fun attacking long enough."

"Now…"

"It's my turn."

The python's eyes had already turned blood-red.

An unimaginable, terrifying aura exploded from its body.

"Not good!" Doflamingo's face changed instantly.

"Sixteen Holy Execution Bullets: God Thread!"

A massive concentration of condensed white strings gathered together before launching toward the giant python at terrifying speed.

At the exact same moment—

An overwhelming force erupted from the Savage Giant Python's body.

BOOM!!!

The countless strings wrapped around it were forcibly shattered apart.

The gigantic python tail instantly became coated in an incomparably dense layer of Armament Haki before sweeping violently toward Doflamingo.

In midair—

The python's tail collided directly with Doflamingo's God Thread attack.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The clash of their Armament Haki shook the entirety of Dressrosa.

Huge waves surged violently around the island's surrounding seas.

Black-red lightning exploded wildly throughout the battlefield.
