One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 170 You know nothing about my abilities

As a great pirate who has survived since the era of Rocks, Wang Zhi is undoubtedly one of the strongest on the sea.

His three types of Haki and five senses are extremely powerful.

His combat experience is incredibly rich—he has experienced virtually every type of battle.

But
The battle he is experiencing now is still a unique experience he has never had before.

"boom!"

Owen's flaming fist came crashing down, and Wang Zhi nimbly dodged to the side—but in the blink of an eye, the smoke lamp created by Dafu and Smoothie's slash came together from above his head.

[Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Steam-Evaporation Fruit (Fake)]

[Paramecia Type - Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit (Fake)]

So Wang Zhi could only raise his fist to meet the enemy, but after a moment he realized that whether it was Owen, Dafu or Smoothie, they were all illusory 'illusions'.

But before he could even think, three more identical figures appeared beside him.

But the difference lies in...
"Boom!"

This time, all three attacks were real!
Wang Zhi was instantly blasted away, but he still managed to write some words on the ground while flying.

【prick】

【prick】

【prick】

The 'thorn' character extending along the ground instantly transformed the ground into sharp spikes, blocking the three people's path.

Following that, Wang Zhi casually wrote the character 'stick' on the wall next to him.

The next moment, the wall transformed into a bundle of sticks and landed in Wang Zhi's hand.

"Wind and Cloud Sweeping Staff - Sweep Across the Land!"

He swung his long staff, creating a sudden gust of wind.

But at this moment, he would see the figures of the three disappear instantly—they had become an 'illusion' again, without him even realizing it.

"What exactly is this ability?"

This extremely disgusting combat experience was a first even for Wang Zhi.

He was basically able to determine the characteristics of the other party's abilities.

The man named Inugami seems to be able to create illusions that have a physical form and are almost indistinguishable—even Observation Haki cannot distinguish them before the attack reaches the body.

If that's all, then it's not so bad.

After all, it's just an illusion; besides being misleading and frightening, it's nothing special.

The key point is that among the illusions of the Dog (戌狗), some seem to be real.

Wang Zhi is currently unable to determine the exact number, but there are at least seven or eight.

The most terrifying thing is that these illusions, for some reason, can even copy the opponent's Devil Fruit abilities, although their power and strength seem to be weaker than the original.

But even so.
"Dog. This guy is simply a monster."

Even though he was disgusted, Wang Zhi still had to utter such a sigh.

Yes—even though the abilities the opponent has shown so far are already those of a true monster.

He couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood, illusion and fantasy.

This meant that he had to respond to every attack from his opponent, whether real or feigned, ultimately leading to his complete suppression in the battle.

He has very few chances to retaliate; all he can do now is defend and observe as much as possible.

"It seems they've realized my abilities."

On the other side, Xu Gou silently observed Wang Zhi's actions—from the other party's reaction, he could also analyze that the other party seemed to have realized his ability.

【Bebe-Bebe Fruit - Mirage Form LV5: Can create mirages, and freely change their color and shape, and can create almost realistic illusions within the area covered by the mirages】

[Fusion Fruit, Inu Inu Fruit, Thousand Faces Nine-Tailed Form LV5: Can create 9 independent fox-tailed avatars, gaining a weakened version of all the abilities of the copied avatar.]

Yes.

At this moment, what Xu Gou is using is a combination of the abilities of these two mythical beast species.

In fact, at this moment, an invisible mirage was floating in the entire 'Mirror World (Pseudo)', but Wang Zhi was unaware of it.

Within the mirage, the dog can freely create various false illusions, which, in conjunction with the clones created by the Thousand Faces Nine-Tailed Fruit, can launch attacks against Wang Zhi.

The interplay of truth and falsehood perfectly aligns with the Dog's role in the twelve zodiac signs—'the con artist'.

But
"Wang Zhi—something's not right with this guy."

At this moment, the Dog (戌狗) frowned slightly.

His gaze fell upon Wang Zhi, who was wielding a long staff and constantly conjuring up various weapons, illusions, and clones to entangle with him.

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong with Wang Zhi.

"He's too weak."

The dog realized this.

In fact, after deciding to wage war against Big Mom, he had already secretly arrived near Totto Land through the Rat and quietly cloned the members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Now, apart from the 'Hanafuda' in Wano Country, the rest of his nine fox-tailed clones are all members of the Charlotte Family.

Katakuri, Oven, Daifuku, Smoothie, and Cracker, with the exception of 'Brûlée' who has special strategic value due to the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, are basically among the strongest members of the Big Mom Pirates.

But in reality, even so.

"Even a pirate of Wang Zhi's caliber shouldn't be suppressed to this state by a group of weakened clones."

Xu Gou knew very well that as one of the last remaining members of the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi was definitely only slightly weaker than the Four Emperors.

In terms of individual ability alone, there's no reason for him to be suppressed to this extent.

Besides that, there is another problem—compared to his displayed strength, Wang Zhi's vitality seems too strong.

Since the start of the war, Xu Gou has confirmed that his clones and illusions have inflicted multiple instances of damage on Wang Zhi.

But so far, although Wang Zhi has vomited blood and been injured as usual, his vitality and aura have not changed at all.

The bizarre vitality and bizarre strength combined are strange enough.

But if these two reasons are not enough.

Then there is a crucial third reason for the Dog (戌狗).

[The person who consumed the fruit has been identified as 'Wang Zhi']

[The Devil Fruit has been confirmed as the 'Paramecia-type Writing-Writing Fruit', and is currently being analyzed and stored in the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]

[Fruit ability - Can visualize the characters and corresponding images in one's mind and write them down]

[Effects at Each Level]

[LV3: Gain access to all fruit effects, can write on physical objects, and can change their shape and properties through imagination. For example, imagine the ground becoming a shield, and write the word 'shield' to transform the ground into a shield. Requires 18 billion Berries to unlock]

The writing created by Devil Fruit abilities consumes mental energy. The effect of the writing is limited to the limits of imagination, but it can only write on matter and cannot write on any living being other than oneself.

The greater the intensity of the 'imagination' expressed through writing, the stronger the effect, but the more physical energy is consumed.

[LV4: Fruit Deep Development, allows writing on non-physical matter, and the content and concepts that can be written are broader, but it requires more mental and physical energy, and costs 37 billion Berries to unlock]

[LV5: Fruit Awakening - Words are Imagination. The ability can influence the surrounding environment, with text effects being even more powerful. Furthermore, the user can freely write text anywhere within a 100-meter radius using their thoughts. 125 billion Berries to permanently unlock.]

[Analysis progress: 100%]

Yes.

The moment Xu Gou saw Wang Zhi, he already knew about the other party's Devil Fruit ability through the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

Paramecia-type Writing-Writing Fruit – Even Inugami, who has seen many bizarre fruits, has to admit that this fruit is extremely powerful.

All you need to do is imagine and write down the corresponding content to achieve the corresponding 'reality'.

Despite the restriction that it cannot write about any creature other than itself, this ability to make fantasy come true is undoubtedly still among the top-tier Devil Fruits.

However, up to now, all the Devil Fruit abilities that Wang Zhi has used have only been limited to the LV3 level.

That's the biggest problem.

After all, according to intelligence, Wang Zhi should have occupied Beehive Island shortly after the God Valley incident—and he was already an ability user when he occupied Beehive Island.

It has been more than 30 years since then.

In such a long period of time, it's impossible for a great pirate like Wang Zhi to have not developed any Devil Fruit abilities.

so.
"I don't have time to waste on you."

"Let me see what you're hiding!?"

At this moment, accompanied by the low murmur of the Dog.

On the battlefield.

"Boom!" Wang Zhi, who was once again sent flying by the biscuit soldier 'Cracker', saw countless illusions emerging from the air nearby, just like always.

Wang Zhi couldn't tell which of the countless illusions of Owen, Katakuri, Daifuku, and Smoothie were real and which were fake.

So Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the ground.

"Writing."

The Wall of a Hundred Shields

The text appeared, and the next moment, huge shields were seen arranged into a wall and converged.

But only a moment later.
"!!!"

Wang Zhi was horrified to discover that the attacks of those countless illusions actually passed right through those massive shield walls in the next instant.

And the once indestructible shield wall became illusory at this moment.

"."

His gaze fell incredulously downwards—and there he saw that the 'ground' he had just grabbed was slowly disappearing.

That wasn't ground; it was a cliff.

"Even the illusions of the surrounding environment are real!?"

Wang Zhi immediately realized this—his ability only works when written on a physical object, but if that 'physical object' itself is a physical illusion created by Xu Gou's ability, then it will naturally disappear when the other party cancels the ability.

"This ability is disgusting!"

Wang Zhi cursed inwardly, but he had already realized the danger.

His body is 'special', but even so, being hit by this blow would not be pleasant.

If this continues...
"I will lose."

At this moment, Wang Zhi also clearly understood this point.

Continuing to drag this out is not a solution.

so.
"We must 'liberate' a portion of them."

He gritted his teeth, and then
"Crack!"

Visibly, part of his close-fitting armor appeared to have 'dented'.

Wang Zhi's face instantly turned pale, and his aura and domineering presence seemed to weaken at that moment.

But just a moment later, he raised his hand.

then
Then he saw words appear out of thin air in front of him.

【thunder】

"Boom!"

A massive thunderbolt roared before him, and the intense lightning instantly obliterated all the illusions that were attacking from the surrounding area.

at the same time
"Found you!"

The few fox-tail clones that hadn't been instantly destroyed also immediately came into Wang Zhi's view.

"Dealing with these truly offensive clones will make dealing with that guy much easier!"

Having already understood this, Wang Zhi raised his hand without hesitation and began writing again.

【Lock】

Suddenly, a massive chain of air formed from the sky and instantly flew towards the fox-tailed clones.

"Crack!"

It precisely locked down all the clones.

then
【speed】

Without hesitation, Wang Zhi began writing the character on his body.

then
"boom!"

His figure suddenly burst forth with a speed far exceeding that of before.

During the journey, he even took a moment to wave his hand again.

【knife】

A long sword instantly appeared in his hand, and he swung it with his right hand, hurtling towards his clones.

Now
His left hand once again wrote on top of his right hand—[Power].

"Power King Style: Great Wheel Slash!"

The long sword in his hand suddenly came crashing down.

The black and red Conqueror's Haki and the pitch-black Armament Haki exploded with a deafening roar, and the slash slammed heavily onto the ground of the mirror world.

"Boom!"

A terrifying impact erupted instantly, and the ground in the mirror world cracked open, centered on this attack.

The entire structure of the space seemed to become unstable, with countless rays of light constantly refracting within the mirrors.

Amidst the rising dust, Wang Zhi slowly sheathed the long sword in his hand.

"It's over, Dog."

"I've already seen through your abilities!"

His gaze, however, was fixed on the distant dog.

"Once your clone is destroyed, your abilities will be meaningless!"

He stuck out his long, forked tongue and raised the long knife in his hand: "Next, it's your turn!"

He seemed to have secured his victory.

And it was at this moment
"Destroy?"

The dog, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, finally stood up.

Under Wang Zhi's incredulous gaze, his figure gradually disappeared.

Yes.

Even the dog that had been 'watching' from afar was an illusion.

Meanwhile...
"When did you develop the illusion that you destroyed my clone?"

Wang Zhi heard the familiar voice of the dog coming from the smoke in front of him.

"."

He looked into the smoke and dust.

So he saw this moment.
"Buzz!"

The swaying flames surrounded the dog.

Fine golden down has now grown on his body.

A pair of fox ears grew on the dog-head mask.

His eight clones were now gathered behind him.

And around them.

Nine pitch-black shadows clearly formed a giant 'shadow wall'.

At this moment, the shadow at the forefront still bears shocking wounds—it has been almost split in two.

But at this moment, the hideous wounds are rapidly healing.

Clearly—it was these shadow walls that blocked Wang Zhi's strike just now.
Shadow Mage - Nine Shadow Barrier

And it was at this very moment
"Buzz!"

The protective barrier formed by the nine shadows dispersed, and the nine shadows stood beside the dog and his eight clones.

This scene left Wang Zhi almost speechless.

What is this?
"besides."

But clearly, the Dog (戌狗) had no interest in answering the question.

"You think you've seen through my abilities?"

His gaze was fixed solely on Wang Zhi, who stood before him.

"Then I can only say—you know nothing about my abilities."

　I took their advice and bought some nitroglycerin pills (since I didn't have any at home anyway, I just kept them as a stockpile). I also spoke to the property management (they said that the permitted start time for renovations in the community is 8 a.m., and they would talk to the upstairs neighbor and tell them to wait until after 8 a.m.), hoping that things would improve.

　　I apologize for the poor writing of these chapters, and I will add an extra chapter today.
