One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 107 The Fruit of Severance, the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox!
no doubt.

The figure that suddenly appeared out of thin air was familiar to the three people present.

That's why they've gathered here this time.

Twelve Constellations
"Rat!"

He was actually on this island, right next to them.

"You really are as elusive as the rumors say, aren't you?"

Cracker grinned, revealing a maniacal smile: "And, that ability user just now... his name is 'Dog Dog'!?"

This code name alone is enough to explain everything.

The guy who disguised himself as 'Miss Spider' was actually a top executive of the Twelve Constellations, and one who had never appeared on the sea before.

"Looks like the plan has been completely seen through?"

The woman holding the flower-shaped clapper in her arms was looking at Piecco beside her.

"."

At this moment, the fists of the large funeral parlor owner were clenched tightly.

Beneath his ridiculous clown mask, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and he looked ferocious and terrifying.

He was so furious that he couldn't even speak.

"Whoosh!" *3
The next moment, the three figures vanished from their original spot.

"boom!"

Cracker's massive body unleashed tremendous power at that moment, and the greatsword in his hand slammed down towards the rat's head.

"Roar!"

Hanafuda's body instantly transformed into a beast, its massive form whipping its enormous dragon tail as it hurtled towards the rat's abdomen.

"Qiang!"

Piecrow's scythe gleamed as it hurtled toward the rat's neck.

The sheer power of the three elements caused the entire cave to tremble almost instantly.

But
"Shhh."

The rat simply looked at them and said softly, "Be quiet."

As soon as the words were spoken, three doors appeared out of thin air, instantly swallowing up the three people's attacks.

The rat took a step and disappeared into thin air.

next moment.
"boom!"

Countless blades instantly sprouted from all parts of the cave.

"It's his ability!"

"It's as tricky as the rumors say!"

Upon seeing this, Hanafuda and Cracker immediately frowned.

Yes—although even now, there is still no consensus on what exactly the Rat's abilities are.

However, by studying the traces of each assassination attempt by the Rat, some rumors have also emerged.

It is said that this high-ranking official of the Twelve Zodiacs has the ability to move through the air and conjure blades from various places to kill enemies from beyond sight.

Therefore, at this moment, they instinctively spread their domineering aura to resist the upcoming slash.

But
"Hmm!?"*2
In the very next moment, their expressions changed drastically.

because
"laugh!"

At this moment, what was astonishing was that the blades growing from all parts of the cave were not targeting them, but rather...
ground!

“Shh!” “Shh!” “Shh!” “Shh!”

Then, under the wide-eyed gazes of the two, the countless slashes easily sliced ​​through the cave walls and rocks as if cutting tofu.

then
"!!!"*3
Just moments later, the three of them noticed that the sky visible through the dome of the cave above them was beginning to move away from them.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over them, and they began to fall!

Yes—those who were standing on the ground were now beginning to fall into the earth.

If someone could actually see the changes taking place inside this enormous island right now, they would be utterly horrified.

At this moment, centered on the cave where the three were, the interiors of the nearby islands were being cut apart by giant hands.

The ground that had been cut by the blade was clearly softened and folded like sheets of paper, and then kneaded and reshaped by that huge hand.

At this moment, the entire island seemed to have transformed into an enormous 'building block,' constantly folding and changing in the hands of the player named 'Rat'.

But what's interesting is that—no matter how things change internally.

However, on the surface, the island still retains its original appearance.

It was under these circumstances that the island's foundation beneath the cave where the three of them were located was completely hollowed out—so they kept falling into the ground until they reached the bottom of the entire island.

And then it followed closely behind.
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The layers upon layers of 'mountain blocks' kept piling up, isolating the sunlight above the three of them from the world on the ground.

The ground where the three were standing was being continuously shredded and then surrounded by layers of huge earthen walls.

And when they finally fell to the ground.

The three of them were now completely separated.

"."*3
At this moment, the three of them looked at the landscape around them that had changed dramatically in an instant, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"Just how capable is this guy?"

They had absolutely no idea what was happening.

At this moment, on the surface of the earth
The rat stood inside the cave, which was now completely empty.

Within the eyes beneath the mask, one could see the changes on the light screen. [Fusion Fruit - Cutting Fruit LV5]

[Fusing Materials: Quick-Cut Fruit LV4 + Scissor-Scissor Fruit LV5]

[You can choose different modes for your own slashing attacks; the modes are 'Cut', 'Sever', and 'Annihilate'.]

[Cut - Can sever any inanimate physical substance and reshape it. It can easily cut through even substances imbued with Haki, but it can only cut through and cannot destroy its internal structure. The cut will regenerate after a period of time.]

[Sever - When facing living creatures, this increases the damage of slashes, allowing them to penetrate the body surface and damage internal structures.]

[Destroy - Fruit Awakening Effect: Can sever intangible objects and energy, and completely destroy their internal structure; consumes a large amount of stamina for use.]

Yes—at this moment, Zishu is using one of the abilities of the fused fruit 'Cut Fruit': 'Cut'.

With the combination of this fruit and the Flower-Flower Fruit, he can reshape the entire terrain of the island at will.

Its name is...
【Air Slash, Cut, Island Blocks】

"Although I tried to control it, there's still a slight tremor. It should be fine, right?"

After doing all this, he glanced at the outside of the cave and murmured to himself.

Then, he stepped out.

A door suddenly opened out of thin air above the ground.

The rat leaped into the hole and descended into the ground.

At the same time, outside the island.

"Boom!"

Miss Spider stood outside the cave, feeling the tremors beneath the island.

The tremor wasn't extremely large, but it wasn't small either.

so.
"Bulu Bulu."

"Bulu Bulu."

The Den Den Mushi in her hand suddenly rang the next moment.

Miss Spider remained completely calm as she looked at the Den Den Mushi.

The nine fox tails behind her, whose colors were constantly changing, swayed. The three most magnificent fox tails at this moment transformed into wisps of fox fur and suddenly fell from behind her.

Then, something incredible happened.

At that moment, the three fallen fox tails hit the ground, and a cloud of colorful smoke rose from the ground.

then
"Buzz!" *3
As the smoke gathered, three figures materialized out of thin air from within it.

Those were 'Hanafuda', 'Creccia', and 'Pierre Croc'.

Watching this scene, 'Miss Spider'—no, it was Dog—remained completely unfazed.

"This time it cost a lot of money."

She murmured quietly.

And in the depths of her eyes, one could clearly see the light screen of the Fruit Encyclopedia.

[Fusion Fruit - Inu Inu Fruit - Thousand Faces Nine-Tailed Form LV5]

[Crafting Materials: Dog-Dog Fruit - Nine-Tailed Fox Form LV5 + Imitation Fruit LV3]

Both the fox tail and the fox's body can only maintain one transformation at a time.

[Unable to replicate itself]

"The Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit's LV5, plus the Scissors Fruit's LV5, plus the fruit on the Rat. The Revolutionary Army's second payment and Baroque Works' profits have almost all been poured into it."

The dog murmured, its gaze fixed on the two distant shores.

As she said at the moment, the awakening of two fruits and the simple enhancement of another fruit have almost completely emptied Roy's recently recovered economy.

But without a doubt—if this attempt succeeds, then
"It's all worth it."

She answered the still-ringing Den Den Mushi while murmuring to herself.

"Click."

As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, an anxious voice immediately came from the other end.

"Lord Spider, what was that tremor just now? What happened?"

"BIGMOM and Hanafuda people are very excited right now, what should we do?"

Having acquired 'Miss Spider's' memories, Xu Gou naturally knew that the person speaking at this moment was one of the leaders of the assassins guarding the vicinity.

Clearly, the tremors just now have caused a disturbance outside.

But
"It's nothing, it's probably just a tsunami."

At this moment, the dog simply looked at the 'Hanafuda' and 'Creek' beside her, as well as the 'Pierre Croc' standing next to her, and chuckled softly.

She spoke calmly, stating the 'facts': "The talks went smoothly and nothing happened."
