Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"As the Archbishop of the Great Sin of 'Gluttony,' you should also possess the power to cause people to lose their memories, right?"

Considering that you called out Ram's name during both of your attacks, it means that your ability must meet certain conditions to be activated, right?

Calling out the name is one of the conditions? What are the other conditions? Could you please explain them directly, like the generous Mr. "Greed"?

Since "Greed" has already admitted that his power comes from the authority "Lion's Heart", then the culprit that caused Ram's amnesia can only be another great sin bishop, "Gluttony".

Upon hearing what Wood said, both 'Greed' and 'Gluttony' showed expressions of surprise.

Within the Witch Cult, the Archbishops of Sin with the highest attendance rate are Sloth and Greed. However, compared to Sloth, Greed always operates in the shadows, so he is little known. The other Archbishops of Sin are even less known.

Wood had already guessed that Gluttony hadn't used its memory-devouring ability on Ram before, and he had already figured out the conditions Gluttony needed to activate its power just by observing that Ram called out its name twice during Gluttony's attacks. This was truly unbelievable!

"This knight is so wise and perceptive, his taste must be quite delicious!"

Binge eating! Binge drinking! Because our hearts and our stomachs are so happy right now! I'm going to dig in without holding back!

"Gluttony" roared suddenly, as if in a state of self-hypnosis, and then instantly teleported in front of Wood to launch an attack.

At the same time, "Greed" also attacked Wood. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wood as if it were just a game.

That's right, both 'Gluttony' and 'Greed' have temporarily abandoned Ram and chosen Wood as their primary target.

The reason is quite simple: Wood's strength is one aspect, but another is that Wood is too smart!

Their observation and analytical abilities are so strong that they were able to analyze most of their abilities in just a brief encounter.

If they let the other party delay any longer, their powers will be exposed, and they will have no secrets left in front of Wood.

The reason why the Archbishops of Sin are so powerful is because of their "powers," which are considered their trump card. If the abilities of these powers were to be exposed, it would undoubtedly be a very dangerous thing for them.

Therefore, considering all factors, they had to prioritize eliminating Wood, this extremely dangerous individual.

Chapter 374 Wood: There is no truly invincible ability in the world.

!

Gluttony possesses the power of teleportation, so the moment his figure disappeared, he was already in front of Wood in the blink of an eye.

And just as when attacking Ram, Gluttony called out Wood's name when attacking him.

As for why Gluttony knew Wood's name, it was because Ram had called him several times during the battle.

Wood and his group weren't the only ones who gained intelligence from the battle; Gluttony and Greed also did so.

Because Gluttony had tried to approach Ram several times before, even though Wood didn't know what the other conditions were for Gluttony to activate its powers, he still kept his distance and used magic to retaliate.

Just as Wood dodged Gluttony's attack, the stone that Greed threw at Wood also struck itself in an instant.

What was originally just an ordinary roadside stone now gave Wood a sense of danger.

Not daring to be careless in the slightest, Wood gripped his longsword tightly and slashed. The stone clashed with the knight's sword, and a metallic clang echoed in the air.

However, something happened very quickly that surprised even Wood!

The knight's longsword in his hand, though not a peerless sword, was merely the standard longsword of the Royal Guard Knights. However, since the Royal Guard Knights belonged to Lugnica, the longsword was of quite good quality, at least made of fine steel.

However, when Wood's longsword struck the stone, something unexpected happened. The ordinary stone bent Wood's longsword in an instant, and even broke it with a "clang" when it reached its limit!

Wood, whose longsword had been broken, dodged the rapidly flying stone by tilting his head. The stone even grazed Wood's hair and pierced through a large tree behind him!

"Given your condition just now, was it possible for you to react and dodge the attack?"

Even among the kingdom's royal guards, you must be one of the best.

Greed showed no surprise that a stone he had casually thrown could break Wood's longsword; instead, he was quite impressed that Wood had managed to dodge the attack at the last moment.

"Your ability is to accelerate objects? No... if it's just time acceleration, it shouldn't be able to nullify our previous attacks."

Logically, a stone thrown from the hand should gradually slow down after it has traveled a certain distance and the force acting on it disappears. If it encounters an obstacle, the speed should be even slower.

The stone you just threw maintained its original speed even when blocked by my longsword. That must be your true ability, right?

It can keep any object it touches absolutely still; even a thrown stone can maintain its initial velocity and continue moving, thus becoming an absolutely lethal weapon.

Aside from the above speculations, Wood couldn't think of any other characteristics of the "Greed" ability.

As a "great swordsman", Wood is quite sensitive to high-speed attacks. However, the stone that just flew towards him, after shattering his sword, was still able to continue flying at a constant speed, which was quite absurd.

No matter how strong the force, its power will decrease when it encounters resistance; this is an inevitable law!

However, the stone that "Greed" just threw completely violated the laws of mechanics. Combined with the power it displayed, Wood could roughly guess that the opponent's power must be "Time Freeze".

Using this power on himself, "Greed" can break free from all the constraints of physical laws and become a superman in a certain sense.

The reason why "Greed" was repelled by Wood's slash was simply because the target of his power was Wood's slash, so the damaged ground affected him.

However, if this power is used on oneself, "Greed" itself will enter a state of "time stillness" that is unaffected by anything external.

"Your observation and analytical skills are truly amazing, but even if you've analyzed my power 'Lion's Heart,' so what?"

If your defense is absolutely invincible, and your attack can launch matter with a constant initial velocity, then you can do nothing but feel despair.

As Greed spoke, he silently picked up several more stones from the ground, preparing to launch a series of attacks on Wood.

Besides being a chatterbox, the Bishop of Greed was also someone who always claimed to be "satisfied with himself" and "unfettered by selfish desires."

However, in reality, everything he does proves that he has developed a habit of being "selfish" towards others. If the person he is talking to interrupts the conversation or prevents him from arguing further, he will accuse the other person of "violating his rights" and launch an attack.

Wood's excellence made "Greed" uncomfortable, so even though it went beyond the original mission objective, the Archbishop of Greed now intends to eliminate Wood.

“You archbishops of sin in the witch cult are quite interesting. First there was ‘Sloth’ who took diligence as his duty, and now there is ‘Greed’ who considers himself ‘selfless’.”

In my opinion, you are nothing more than a selfish person who claims to be "desireless" while trying to boast to others about your own feelings and value, forcefully promoting your own values, and using terror and violence to force others to take a back seat.

When they see someone weaker than themselves, they use their invincible power to instill despair in the other party, thus showcasing their own excellence.

When encountering someone superior to themselves, they constantly criticize and try to force that person into submission through violence.

Seeing the 'Greed's' face begin to distort before him, Wood once again condensed a long sword from ice, and this time he also covered it with "Armament Haki".

"It seems that I haven't encountered 'sloth' yet in this cycle, but I'll repeat what I said to it before."

There is no such thing as true invincibility in this world. If you are like Reinhard, that overpowered guy, and possess power similar to the "Phoenix Blessing," then disregard what I said.

Unfortunately, judging from the abilities you just demonstrated, your so-called "invincibility" doesn't seem to be true invincibility. At least in my view, I've already discovered two potential weaknesses.

As Wood spoke, he stomped his feet on the ground repeatedly, using the "Shaving Step" of the Six Styles to rush towards the Bishop of Greed at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.

"You arrogant fool! My powers are truly invincible; there is no weakness as you claim!"

The power of lust is the manifestation of one's own desires and the desire for display. Now, Wood's words seem to be denying his value, which lust naturally cannot accept.

Wood moved very fast, but Greed was still able to barely catch a glimpse of Wood's afterimage and throw the stone in his hand.

What was originally just an ordinary roadside stone has now become a true weapon of destruction in the hands of "Greed".

The first stone, which missed its target, landed at Wood's feet and instantly shattered the ground, leaving a large crater several meters in diameter.

The second stone, which should have hit Wood's shoulder the moment it was thrown, instead struck Wood's body as he swung his ice blade, directly hitting the high-speed flying stone.

Just as Greed was grinning maliciously at Wood, waiting for the ice blade in his hand to be shattered and his body to be pierced, he was soon shocked to find that the ice blade in Wood's hand, which should have been extremely fragile, was now sparking a lot of sparks as he threw the stone!

Previously, the longsword made of fine steel was broken by the stone he threw using his power, but this time, facing the fragile magical creation, he directly created a feeling of evenly matched strength!

Could ice be harder than steel? Greed hadn't believed it before, but when he saw the stone he threw using his power shatter at the same time as the ice blade in Wood's hand, Greed was truly stunned.

"This is the first weakness of your ability. Even if the object you throw can maintain its initial velocity and continue to move, the properties of the object itself will not change."

A stone is just a stone. Although acceleration grants it terrifying power, once it reaches the limits of its own material properties, it will still be pulverized!

Wood felt his arm go numb, and while speaking, he quickly conjured another ice blade and rapidly covered it with Armament Haki.

Seeing the scene before him, Greed was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. Without thinking, he threw the stone in his hand again.

But he didn't notice that after throwing several stones, Wood had closed enough distance to him and accelerated in an instant, raising his ice blade and thrusting at him!

"You think you're stupid? Even if you go to great lengths to get close to me, what can you do to me under my invincible power?"

Wood paid no heed to the mockery from "Greed" and launched a direct attack.

According to Wood's observation, the Bishop of Greed's power of "stopping time" can only affect one object at a time.

This can be roughly seen from his two previous performances.

The first manifestation is that "Greed" will only throw one stone at a time, instead of throwing all of them at once.

The second instance is that at the beginning, Greed could have used the power of "time freeze" on himself, thus making him invincible at all times. Why did he choose to use his power on Ram's magic and his own slashes at the beginning?

To verify this hypothesis, Wood chose this risky, impulsive attack method, and seized the moment when Greed threw the stone to launch an attack on its body.

Assuming Wood's conjecture is correct, then the "Greed" that gave the stone power is no longer in an invincible state!

The ice blade covered in Armament Haki shattered... but 'Greed', which was actually hit, was completely unharmed!

Not only that, but seeing Wood's longsword shatter in front of him, Desire disdainfully exhaled a breath at Wood. As a result, this breath, with its initial velocity unchanged, directly sent Wood flying several meters away!

"Your intuition is indeed very sharp. In such a short time, you have discovered so much, and even realized that my power can only be applied to one target at a time."

The second weakness you wanted to mention earlier, is this it?

"But unfortunately, although your guess is correct, my power can only be applied to one object at a time."

However, the ability to maintain an object's initial velocity and the invincible ability to "stop time" can each affect only one object.

In other words, this version of me can always maintain an invincible state, combining offense and defense!
