Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The Silence-Silence Fruit provides almost no boost to combat ability. When Corazon was rescued by Sengoku as a child, although he received some training, his mediocre talent meant that he could only bully weaker opponents and was no match for Doflamingo.

Just as Doflamingo's threads were about to tear Corazon to pieces, the runes on Wood's chest in the distance suddenly lit up...

Chapter 215 Wood Unleashes His True Strength

Wood, who was watching from a distance in the air, had been observing the situation involving Doflamingo and Corazon.

He himself did not expect that his kick would be so accidental, directly sending Doflamingo to Corazon and the others.

Wood was actually quite annoyed by Corazon and his group's behavior.

As per their previous agreement, as long as Corazon completes the mission and lures Doflamingo here, Wood will give him the "Op-Op Fruit" as a reward.

However, Corazon outwardly agreed, but behind the scenes, he chose to go through all this trouble to try and profit from the situation.

"Are all the guys in the One Piece world generally very confident in their intelligence, or do they all particularly like to court death?!"

"Dias Barrerus, who tried to profit from the chaos, is dead, and now that guy Corazon dares to do the same thing again!"

Despite his constant complaints, Wood used the power of the "Heart of God" in the next second, increasing the speed of his "Shave" attack several times over in an instant, at the cost of some of his life force.

The original "Shave Step" has now been transformed into the so-called "Super Shave Step" under the power of the "Heart of God".

Despite being nearly ten kilometers away, Wood appeared in front of Doflamingo in an instant and raised his sword to block the silk thread that Doflamingo was about to pull down on Corazon.

Both Doflamingo and Corazon were stunned to see Wood suddenly appear before them.

Because the speed that Wood just demonstrated has absolutely exceeded the limits that humans can reach!

However, when Doflamingo saw the glowing runes on Wood's chest, his expression immediately brightened.

Clearly, like most people, Wood's "Heart of God" power was transformed into the power of some kind of Devil Fruit.

Indeed, the limits that humans cannot reach can be achieved through Devil Fruits. After all, this power from the depths of the sea can even grant "immortality."

Moreover, the only thing a normal human could accept that could emit light from their chest is the power of a Devil Fruit.

The almost transparent steel wire sparked a lot of sparks as it rubbed against Wood's longsword. To prevent his wire from being cut again, Doflamingo used Armament Haki to enhance it this time!

However, just when Doflamingo thought that he should not be suppressed this time no matter what, a terrifying impact was transmitted directly from his arm to his body.

An indescribable pressure was applied directly to him. This time, Doflamingo was even more vulnerable than before, and he didn't even have the strength to resist before he was sent flying!

Now that he had already used the power of the "Heart of God," Wood naturally wouldn't hold back. That last strike was amplified several times using the power of the "Heart of God," so it would be truly a miracle if Doflamingo could withstand it.

Wood, who had sent Doflamingo flying with a single slash, didn't want to lose any more life force. Seeing Doflamingo flying backward, he took another step and chased after him again. All he wanted now was to end the battle as quickly as possible.

"Try to move towards the center of the island and don't get in the way here!"

Corazon's actions, contrary to previous plans, annoyed Wood, so his current attitude was not very good.

To be honest, although they were both undercover agents in the Navy, Wood and Corazon were not familiar with each other. If it weren't for the mission condition that Corazon couldn't die, Wood might not have chosen to sacrifice his life to use the power of the "Heart of God" to save the day.

After all, even if Corazon was killed, it was their own fault. They had clearly said before that they would give the "Operation Fruit" to the other party as a reward.

However, Corazon was unaware of Wood's inner thoughts, which is not entirely his fault.

Corazon's career in the Navy was much longer than Wood's, and he knew very well that if it were just an ordinary Devil Fruit, it wouldn't matter.

However, given the extremely special nature of the "Op-Op Fruit," once it falls into the hands of the Navy, even if Fleet Admiral Sengoku were as magnanimous as he was, he would never use it to treat a child suffering from lead poisoning.

So it's clear from the beginning that Corazon believed the reward Wood was talking about was just an empty promise, something he could never actually get.

It was for this reason that Corazon chose to take the risk and seize the "Operation Fruit" before Wood and Doflamingo were determined to defeat each other.

"Mr. Corazon, why did he still save us even though we lied to him?"

Law, who grew up with Baby-5 and the others in the Donquixote Family, was used to the ways of pirates and couldn't understand why Wood had helped them.

Is it just because of their previous cooperation? But do pirates even have any sense of trust?

Corazon understood perfectly well that Wood was not a real pirate, but a spy planted by the Navy. However, he could not reveal these secrets to Law. For the time being, he could only accept Wood's suggestion and use his Devil Fruit ability to take Law away again.

On the other side, Doflamingo, who was kicked into the grove by Wood again, suffered far more severe injuries this time than before.

Despite having covered his threads with Armament Haki, the threads, enhanced by Armament Haki, still couldn't withstand Wood's slash.

This time, not only was he unable to resist, but not only were the threads severed, but a horrific, deep wound that exposed bone appeared on Doflamingo's chest.

Seeing Wood catch up again at an astonishing speed, Doflamingo endured the intense pain in his body and once again swung his hands forward.

"Spider's Nest!"

Numerous spider silk threads shot out from his hands, forming a spider web in front of Doflamingo at an extremely fast speed.

This spider web was formed from Doflamingo's String-String Fruit power, and the threads on it are like a "birdcage," possessing a sharpness that can easily cut through gold and jade.

Spider nests possess a certain level of defense, and if an enemy insists on charging in, they may even walk right into the trap and be sliced ​​to pieces by the sharp spider silk.

Given the intensity of the sword energy Wood had previously unleashed, Doflamingo had a certain degree of confidence in the defensive capabilities of his "Spider's Nest."

However, what he didn't know was that Wood was completely different now than he had been just now.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Dual-sword style - Jorogumo!"

Jorogumo is a type of yokai with a human face and a spider's body. As a spider yokai, she is also most skilled at using spider webs.

Wood swung the Heavenly Dew and Morning Dew swords at high speed through the air, creating a crisscrossing net that quickly formed a large square in front of him and shot towards Doflamingo.

Chapter 216 You're a Frankenstein's monster!

The square slashing net collided with the hexagonal spider silk net in mid-air. Both of them should have been extremely fragile, but at this moment, not only did they spark, but they also created a huge ring-shaped air wave.

As the two large nets collided and his spider nest was continuously compressed, Doflamingo's expression grew increasingly grim.

It was obvious that even if Doflamingo was slow to notice, he had realized that Wood's slash power was now on a completely different level compared to before!

If Wood hadn't been deliberately hiding his strength, then he must have suddenly become stronger in an instant!

By observing the changes in Wood's body compared to before, the only difference Doflamingo could find was the runes on Wood's body that were emitting a dazzling light!

Previously, Wood's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and Doflamingo thought that Wood's Devil Fruit ability was related to speed. However, it now seems that this is not the case.

The threads on the spider's nest, under the constant pressure of the slashes, began to break under the strain. Finally, when Doflamingo coughed up blood due to his chest injury, the web of slashes completely tore through the spider's nest and enveloped Doflamingo.

Under the massive, crisscrossing strikes, the surrounding trees and rocks were instantly divided into regular square shapes.

As a large amount of sand and dust rose into the sky, large areas of vegetation were cut down and collapsed.

The once extremely dense jungle now appears as a gap in the map when viewed from above, resembling a square cut out of a lawn.

Wood landed on a branch of a large tree, the gleaming silver runes on his chest gradually dimming until they disappeared completely.

Looking at the surrounding environment that had been reduced to ruins, just as he was about to turn around and leave to fight for the remaining five billion Berries, a sudden alarm bell rang in his heart!

Almost instinctively, Wood jumped away from where he had been standing, and several white lines suddenly burst from the ground where he had just stood, easily cutting a large tree next to him into several pieces!

Wood was almost dumbfounded when he saw what was happening in front of him.

If I remember correctly, this move should be one of Doflamingo's moves after his Devil Fruit power awakened!

No, although this move is very similar to Doflamingo's "Wild White Lines" after his Devil Fruit power awakened, it is far inferior in terms of power.

Even so, Wood could observe that Doflamingo's development of his Devil Fruit ability had indeed touched the edge of "awakening".

The "String-String Fruit" ability, as the name suggests, is to create all kinds of threads, and has the ability to manipulate and cut them.

However, regardless of the type of thread, it all needs to be created by Doflamingo's hands because the "String-String Fruit" is a superhuman Devil Fruit, not a Logia-type fruit.

If it's not a Logia-type Devil Fruit, it doesn't have the ability to become an element, and it also can't be created out of thin air.

However, the threads that Doflamingo just pierced through the ground were clearly different from his previous moves. They were not created by his body, but rather by transforming the ground.

The awakening of Devil Fruit abilities refers to the use of Devil Fruit abilities at a higher level.

As far as Wood knows, he currently only knows of two Devil Fruit powers that have awakened.

Paramecia type: The ability "awakens" and can affect things outside of the user.

Animal type: After awakening, it can greatly improve recovery ability and combat power, but if the awakening fails, there will be side effects.

The ability to influence things outside the user means that the user can materialize the surrounding environment, turn it into terrain that is advantageous to them, and manipulate it.

Before Wood could even process Doflamingo's current state, an even greater number of white lines burst forth from the ground, sharply slicing through everything around Wood.

Even if Observation Haki is incredibly powerful, if you wander around aimlessly without a foothold, your body will eventually be pierced through.

So after narrowly dodging the white line's attack and leaving a faint bloodstain on his face, Wood had no choice but to use "Moonwalk" to stay in mid-air and begin using Observation Haki to search for Doflamingo's hiding place.

Wood, who was stepping on the air with Moonwalk, moved his body left and right to dodge the increasing number of white lines. Then, he swung his blade and a slash wrapped in wind shot out in a certain direction.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Ittō-ryu - Kamaitachi!"

The cyan slash, accompanied by a gust of wind, howled like a weasel's cry, easily slicing through numerous white lines before hurtling towards a certain location.

Doflamingo, who was originally in the ruins, stretched out his arms to the left and right, and then pulled them sharply towards the middle.

A barely perceptible thread between his fingers connects two massive rocks on the ground. At this moment, under Doflamingo's pull, the boulders, weighing tens of tons, are easily lifted from the ground like cotton balls!

Furthermore, as the two giant rocks collided in the middle, they also formed a huge rock barrier in front of Doflamingo.

The blue crescent slash arrived immediately. Although it easily split the two giant rocks, the remaining force posed no threat to Doflamingo behind the rocks. With just a slap, Doflamingo shattered them into countless fragments.

However, because of that slash, Doflamingo, who was previously buried in the ruins, is now exposed to Wood's sight once again.
