One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Without reforms within the old navy itself, there is no way to talk about a new navy. New systems won't fall from the sky; the future must be built through hard work.

After her speech, thunderous applause erupted in the operations room. Despite her youthful appearance, Artoria had removed the biggest obstacle to the Navy's confidence. Instead of constantly considering whether to change things in the future, which kept the Navy from acting freely, it was better to be straightforward and do things directly.

Lieutenant General Tsuru had researched the information on the Kingdom of Britain, but it was just an obscure little country with no history. Such island nations are very common in the ocean, appearing and disappearing without any pattern.

It's incredible that this island nation of Britain could cultivate two such talented individuals at the same time. She asked a question: "Artoria, I'd like to know the name of your science teacher. Such a talent deserves to be remembered by everyone."

"My science teacher's name was Einstein. He was an old man with gray hair who liked to stick out his tongue. He was a great theoretical scientist."

Einstein's name is etched in the memory of the Navy. It's a pity that such a talent died during a pirate uprising. If he had been recruited into the Navy, he would have certainly been able to realize his full potential.

Artoria stole the show today. Her confident and poised demeanor left a good impression on the high command of the Navy. Her innate affability made her hard not to like.

They began to understand why the navy in the future timeline would support Artoria as the Fleet Admiral; her personal charisma was worth following, and she completely won over most of the audience with a simple scientific speech.

The blonde girl solved a problem for the Navy, and the next topic was the Fishman fake three admirals. How exactly did the bloodline factors of Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji leak into Caesar Clown's hands? Could there be more than one traitor in the Navy than Vergo?

If someone can obtain the bloodline factor of the three admirals in the future, they must be in the high command of the navy. It's impossible for a vice admiral like Vergo to have access to it. This has caused panic throughout the navy, and it will be really difficult to find this mole.

Borsalino was currently in Punk Hazard and conducted a brief interrogation of Caesar Clown. The cowardly scientist recounted everything he knew: the human-giant transformation and the creation of artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits were proceeding simultaneously. He had not yet obtained the bloodline factors of the three admirals, nor had he made contact with the higher-ups' moles. He had no clue how to bring SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward into the world.

Caesar Courland, the mad scientist, also complained about the Navy's arbitrary interference with the future. He even doubted that he could create those three perfect works of art because of this interference, as he knew nothing about the technology involved and was currently in a state of confusion.

After Vergo was captured, he was humiliated by Borsalino, which was considered revenge for Corazon. After that, this die-hard remained silent. He knew that the Navy did not want to kill him for the time being. It was probably unrealistic to expect to find out a higher-level mole from him from the beginning.

All of this is related to the surname Don Quixote. Every Celestial Dragon in his lineage is a genius, which makes the Five Elders a little suspicious that this line of Celestial Dragons might want to overthrow the rule of the Twenty Kings.

Doflamingo, this traitor, plans to destroy the world in five years. His biological father and mother are rare, eccentric saints among the Celestial Dragons, who actually chose to give up their Celestial Dragon status and live with ordinary people, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

Corazon, the younger brother, became the adopted son of Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He volunteered to infiltrate the Navy to deal with his brother, but was eventually discovered and killed by Doflamingo. It's ironic that a family of kind sheep raised a vicious wolf.

After being rescued by Queen Otohime of the Fish-Man Kingdom, Saint Musgard not only changed his appearance, but he also stopped doing the evil deeds that the Celestial Dragons often committed, and even freed all the slaves under his command. In the eyes of the other Celestial Dragons, he was also an anomaly.

Five years in the future, kneeling before an ordinary navy officer to express gratitude for being saved—when did the knees of the Celestial Dragons become so worthless? How can the noble race of gods bow down to commoners?!

There's also a Celestial Dragon who became a Marine Admiral. All we know so far is that he's codenamed Celestial Dragon Admiral and is the sister of Musgard Saint. The two are so close that the sister even stormed the execution ground for her brother and publicly humiliated the Knights of God.

An investigation of Musgard Saint's immediate family revealed that there was not a single female Celestial Dragon with the strength to challenge the Knights of God, suggesting that the future Celestial Dragon Admirals may not be located in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Perhaps it's related to the Celestial Dragons' traditional skills; I wonder which female slave Musgard Saint Father played with, abused, gave birth to, and then let her raise the child outside.

Finally, at some point in the future, the brother and sister recognized each other, which led to the scene in the light screen where the Navy fought and died for Saint Musgard, and the position of the Celestial Dragon Admiral was quite significant in the new Navy.

The presence of twelve naval admirals made the Five Elders hesitant to act rashly. They wanted to know about this personnel list and were considering a possible attempt to intercept it. Other factions shared the same idea.

Chapter 159 The Legend of the Itinerant Swordsman

In the main timeline, the people of Dressrosa have been ignited by Doflamingo's tyranny. They still want to live and do not want to become giant weapons, so they begin to gradually undermine the legal foundation of his rule. Losing the hearts of the people, this king will not go far in the end.

The light screen shifted from the Rumbling scene back to Dressrosa, where the Straw Hat Pirates' entire crew was battling Doflamingo's subordinates. Currently, only one place was safe: King's Highlands, the location where the Rumbling began, but even that place was not safe at the moment.

"The Rumbling has finally begun! You pirates can't stop Eren's advance. Witness the destruction of this world!"

Most of the palace had collapsed, and a stone man a hundred meters tall spoke a voice that did not match his appearance. The contrast was so huge that it was quite funny. Zoro and Usopp could only cover their mouths and try to suppress their laughter, otherwise it would be too impolite to actually laugh out loud.

Character Notes: Pica, a member of the Donquixote Family and a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user (Stone-Stone Fruit).

This cadre, whose voice had a sharp, feminine quality, was very sensitive to being mocked. Seeing that the two members of the Straw Hat crew were about to lose their temper, it was like hitting a nerve. He thought, "I'll make you laugh, I'll make you laugh, you can all die!"

The stone giant swung his massive hand, trying to flatten the two pirates. Under the influence of his Devil Fruit power, nearby buildings were converging towards his body, and the stone giant grew larger and larger, but it was still no match for Eren's Founding Titan.

"Usopp, stop laughing and control yourself. Let's finish them off quickly." Before the Rumble started, he saw the captain fly out of the palace and disappear. Zoro was a little worried about Luffy's safety.

"Can I find a different opponent?" Usopp was a sniper, and dealing with a large target like the Pica Stone Giant was a bit too much for him.

"You hold him off for now, I'll help you after I've dealt with Diamanti."

Diamante had arrived beside Zoro, his famous sword Zabimaru coiled around him, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Zoro faced his opponent with only one sword, which made the Donquixote Family executives recognize the famous sword in his hand. "I didn't expect Yubashiri to be given to you. I remember this was the last sword of the sword-wielding sword-wielding man. It seems that our confrontation was destined by fate."

The one-eyed swordsman and the clown swordsman engaged in close combat, while Zabimaru and Yubashiri fought to a standstill, showcasing their superb swordsmanship to the audience outside the light screen.

Zoro was completely unfamiliar with Yukishiro. "Yukishiro was given to me by Mr. Ipponmatsu. I want to carry his dream and make a name for myself on the sea with this sword."

Even during the swordsmen's duel, they had time to chat. When the topic turned to famous swords and itinerant swordsmen, Diamanti immediately became very talkative: "There are countless names like Ipponmatsu, Yamamotomatsu, and Fujitamatsu itinerant swordsmen. For generations, they have been providing famous swords at any cost on the high seas to defeat a single target, all in order to cultivate the strongest swordsman."

The snake-tailed mace in Diamanti's hand was a gift from the Shedaolang. Such a philanthropist was truly unprecedented on the sea. To be on the safe side, he used the young master's underground forces to search for information about Shedaolang. He did not expect that Shedaolang's history was so long.

According to folklore, the earliest legend of the itinerant swordsman dates back 800 years to before the establishment of the World Government. The first itinerant swordsman appeared in the world and gave a swordsman a supreme grade sword - Murasame.

The first swordsman gifted the Supreme Grade Sword to the strongest swordsman of the time, allowing him to challenge a swordsman. However, the strongest swordsman of the era was unable to defeat that being and was defeated after a day of fighting, with his sword-wielding hand being severed.

Murasame, a famous sword, was stained with its master's blood and became a cursed demon sword. Now, it is unknown which swordsman it is in the hands of. After the first swordsman failed, his descendants followed in his footsteps and trained one sword master after another on the sea for eight hundred years. However, none of the great swordsmen of that time could defeat the supreme swordsman.

“A person who has lived for eight hundred years can no longer be considered human. He has stolen eternal life in the underworld and has been honing his swordsmanship during that time. He is an invincible being. The title of Great Swordsman is an insult to him. She Dao Lang uses the code name Sword Demon to refer to this strongman,” Diamanti said with admiration on his face. This is the highest honor a swordsman can achieve. Every era has its own Great Swordsman, and every Great Swordsman is his defeated opponent.

Speaking of stealing power from the underworld to achieve immortality, Zoro heard some information from the island's guardians during his five years of training on Hades Island: only two souls have escaped from the underworld so far. The first one, though his name is unknown, is known to be a swordsman due to the passage of time. The second one is Brook, who left the underworld in recent decades thanks to his Devil Fruit.

"The swordsman handed you the famous sword without telling you his demands, so it seems he has no hope for you. I'll accept the famous sword you have," Diamante's swordsmanship became even more ferocious, but Zoro still responded with his One-Sword Style.

It is estimated that Mr. Ipponmatsu is living in seclusion in Loguetown in the East Blue. He has either shed his identity as a swordsman or is disheartened by it, and is pretending to be a weapon shop owner to make a living. However, he was conquered by Zoro's courage to test the sword with the Sandai Kitetsu and was willing to offer up his last treasured sword. This is what Zoro imagined.

Perhaps that gentleman had some unspeakable difficulties, and he didn't mention the story of the itinerant swordsman passing down through generations. This wouldn't affect Zoro's mindset. Now that he knew there were swordsmen in the world even more skilled than Mihawk, the man felt his blood boil and his fighting spirit soar.

"Shimotsuki Ryoma's sword, Shusui, is in your hands. In his era, he was the greatest swordsman in the world. Unfortunately, even a powerful being capable of slaying dragons was defeated by that sword demon, and he died a few years after returning to Wano Country."

Shusui is a national treasure of Wano Country, but there are very few records about Shimotsuki Ryoma, only a few words. The news of his defeat despite having the strength of a great swordsman is only passed down orally within the family by the sword-wielding man. Diamante only learned about it from the new generation of sword-wielding man after making many inquiries.

Diamante also thought Zoro was a grave robber, and that the clown swordsman's style was extremely despicable and reckless. However, she herself was influenced by the swordsman Shedaolang and had a sense of admiration for him.

These predecessors who fell under the sword of the Sword Demon are all worthy of learning from. He wants to become stronger and ascend to the throne of the most powerful swordsman of this era. Before defeating Hawkeye Mihawk, he must first take down the Straw Hat Lone's vice-captain.

"Fluttering Flash"—an incredibly fast sword technique that couldn't be seen with the naked eye—slashed at Zoro's arm. Even Trafalgar Law, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, couldn't dodge this move.

Zoro, who only has one eye, handled this attack with ease. He saw Zabimaru's movements in mid-air and easily deflected Diamante's famous sword with Yubashiri, rendering Diamante's swordsmanship technique useless.

Throughout the entire battle, Diamante has only used one sword to fight Zoro, employing the One-Sword Style. The other famous swords are just for show at his waist. What does this mean?

Is Diamante, the leader of the Block Army, not worthy of Zoro, a small-time pirate with a bounty of less than one billion, using the Three-Sword Style?!

Chapter 160 Asura

Diamante gradually realized that Zoro was just toying with him, and that Zoro still had energy left when they clashed sword to sword. Discovering this made the clown swordsman very angry.

Being seen through by a minor pirate made him somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Let's see how long you can keep up this act."

"Dance of the Fluttering Fruit" adds the Fluttering Fruit to the swordsman's strike, allowing the sword energy to ignore the laws of physics and entangle the enemy for multiple attacks after being released.

Facing this tricky slash, the one-eyed swordsman's expression remained unchanged. He continued to fight with his sword, Yukishiro, gripping it in his right hand. "Your slash is quite unique, but unfortunately, I've seen through its trajectory."

Ding! Ding! Ding... True to his word, Zoro used only his One-Sword Style to continuously clash with the snake-like slash, neutralizing Diamante's attack after a few exchanges.

As one of Doflamingo's four top executives, Diamante had never encountered such a powerful swordsman before. He easily broke through the swordsman's moves, putting the clown swordsman under immense pressure.

"A brilliant response. I don't believe you can block it more than once," Diamante said, brandishing his snake tail ball. The sword energy from the Devil Fruit was used to unleash a barrage of attacks towards Zoro as if it were free.

The swordsmen on the Straw Hat crew's ship did not choose to dodge such a dangerous attack. Instead, they remained in place, imbuing their swords with Armament Haki and transforming them into black blades, cutting down the enemy's incoming attacks.

"Now that you're running around like this, don't you need more knives?"

"Unfortunately, I no longer have a sword weaker than Yubashiri." Zoro's killing intent suddenly increased to a higher level. Diamante sensed the change in the air, and this terrifying aura made him realize that something was wrong.

[Outside the light screen, Hawkeye Mihawk felt these words sounded familiar, as if he had said them to someone before?]

"One-Sword Style: Asura Evil Light Slash"

Zoro raised his sword above his head and slashed forward, unleashing a dark green crescent-shaped sword aura that sliced ​​through the ground with terrifying power, locking onto Diamante's location.

"Not good..." When Diamanti tried to dodge, he found himself unable to move. He was suppressed in place by Zoro's killing intent and could only grit his teeth and take the opponent's terrifying slash.

That eerie killing intent had a strange, intimidating power. In desperation, Diamanti had no choice but to bite his own tongue and, under the stimulation of the blood and pain, barely managed to move his right hand, "Floating Circle".

The snake tail swirled around Diamante's body, unleashing a circular slash to protect its master. When Zoro's demonic slash clashed with it, Diamante's defensive measures were futile; his prized swordsmanship shattered upon contact.

Zoro's One-Sword Style swordsmanship left a long crack in the ground, while Diamante suffered an even more gruesome fate. The man's left arm and entire left shoulder were smoothly sliced ​​off, and warm blood gushed from the wound, making the clown swordsman's red cloak even more vibrant.

"Ugh... ugh..." The man coughed up black blood. Diamanti then realized that there was something wrong with Zoro's slash. Not only was his body injured, but he was also mentally attacked.

The man keenly sensed that he had lost his left hand forever. Even if a new arm were sewn on, it would be an inanimate object that could not be used. The opponent's slash had transcended the physical realm and was simply the natural enemy of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

"Did you notice? Diamanti, your awareness isn't bad. That move just now not only severed your arm on a physical level, but also on a spiritual level. Your soul is now incomplete," Zoro said calmly. He wasn't showing off; severing an enemy's soul had become a man's passive talent.

The intense pain from the cuts on his body finally made Diamante realize the reality: Zoro's statement that he had no sword weaker than Yubashiri was not just bragging; the difference between the two was too great, and One-Sword Style was enough to deal with him.

There really are always people more capable than you. Diamanti admitted in his heart that the gap between him and Zoro was perhaps even greater than the gap between a human and a dog. It was a chasm that could not be bridged by time or effort.

Zoro sheathed Yubashiri. He had already defeated his enemy in one move and had no interest in torturing a swordsman. Unlike Diamante, he was not tasteless and would not abuse the weak with the attitude of a strongman.

"The battle is over. You did that to Rami, so I cut off your arm. Consider it the end of karma. Now you can wait for your death." Zoro had already lost interest in this executive, but Diamante was better than those rotten fish from Fishman Island, which made him take it seriously for a brief moment.

Moreover, those with incomplete souls suffer from a drawback: the loss of any part of their body will cause them lifelong pain. Even if the physical wounds heal, the pain in their souls will be enough to torment Diamanti for the rest of his life, as punishment for his evil deeds.

Diamante's right hand trembled as he tightly gripped the snake tail. This morally corrupt man took one last look in the direction Eren had left. The young master Doflamingo was inside that Founding Titan, but unfortunately, they would never meet again after today. He would follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Demon to the very end and uphold the dignity of the leader of the Square Army.

"Since we are both swordsmen, I expect you to show your true skills. Although I am a clown, I still have the dignity of a swordsman. Diamante wants to learn your skills." With a resolute determination to die in his eyes, Zabimaru could feel his master's determination, and his entire sword trembled involuntarily.

"Next, I will use my strongest move to end my life," Diamanti poured all his remaining domineering spirit and lifelong learning into the famous sword, determined to unleash the colors of a clown even at the very end.

"Bankai - Serpent's Tail Maru" - this famous sword underwent a dramatic transformation, its entire blade turning into a giant red-haired skull serpent, its nearly 100-meter-long body coiled around Diamante.

This is Diamanti's strongest move. The giant skeletal snake that it generates can extend and retract infinitely, making it effective in both offense and defense, as well as close and long-range combat. However, it is no match for a true powerhouse.

Since the other party is determined to go all the way, Zoro will grant his wish, just as Hawkeye Mihawk grants Zoro's wish. Even a weak swordsman's dignity is worth protecting. "A beautiful move, it's my turn."

Zoro drew Wado Ichimonji and held it in his mouth, simultaneously pulling out Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu. He was about to use his strongest three-sword style to respond to Diamante's pride. The murderous aura that erupted violently from the man's body stirred up the surrounding dust, and all three swords were simultaneously wrapped in dark green flames. This was the demonic aura from Ashura, which would take away at least half of an ordinary person's life if it hit them.
