One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

The effect of a single elemental creature self-destructing is not very noticeable, but Doflamingo is surrounded by a group of elemental creatures, each of which is determined to die for their cause and sacrifice themselves to delay the enemy.

The repeated self-destructions caused cracks on Doflamingo's body, and the violent water molecules around him caused considerable damage to the man, but none of this was enough to kill him. The String-String Fruit healed his injuries from the inside out. Doflamingo was an unkillable cockroach.

"Luffy, are you ready? I can't hold on much longer," Gin kept creating self-destructing elemental creatures, quickly exhausting his own energy, but he had to buy Luffy three minutes.

Monkey D. Luffy will use the ultimate move he learned from Buggy the Clown, as only this move can finally defeat Doflamingo, who has the ability to regenerate infinitely.

Chapter 237 Revealing the Truth

After Admiral Kin broke free from Doflamingo's restraints, he heard his friend Luffy's instructions: to buy the admiral a few minutes, as his technique was still immature and needed preparation time. During this waiting period, Luffy was at his most vulnerable.

The admirals are not capable of defeating Doflamingo alone. It is unknown how long it would take to determine a winner. However, the innocent civilians at sea cannot wait that long. If the rumbling is not stopped as soon as possible, countless lives will be trampled upon.

If we bypass Doflamingo and deal with Eren first, and fail to take down the Founding Titan immediately, our side will be exposed, and the risks we will face are unpredictable.

Thinking of how Monkey D. Luffy was able to defeat his former captain Krieg when he was at a disadvantage, Gin chose to trust his intuition at this moment. He was going to gamble on this man who could create miracles, and even if he lost in the end, he would have no regrets.

Afterwards, Admiral Kin revealed his last trump card: the awakening of his Logia-type Devil Fruit. He frantically created elemental creatures and made them self-destruct, choosing to slow down Doflamingo's progress by inflicting heavy losses on both sides, thus preventing him from making any further moves.

This time, the other party was still as arrogant and conceited as ever. "Is this all you've got, Akin? The creatures you created are really pathetic." Although the elemental creature's self-destruction caused him some trouble, it was not fatal. In terms of offensive capabilities, the Rain-Rain Fruit is not as good as the Magma-Magma Fruit or the Ice-Ice Fruit.

Moreover, awakening a Logia-type element comes at a price; if it lasts too long, it may be impossible to turn back into a human. Although Gin was well aware of this, he had to buy Luffy more time because the two were friends who trusted each other.

After escaping his predicament, Luffy did not immediately choose to enter Gear Fourth mode. Instead, he held his straw hat in his hand. This seemingly ordinary straw hat actually had a function that others could not notice.

At some point, this man discovered something: the straw hat that Shanks had passed down to him was of top-notch quality (except for the Joker who destroyed it once). Five years later, he fully understood this characteristic, and the hat became his portable pocket for storing small items.

"Found it. I didn't expect it to come in handy in a place like this." Luffy took out a vial of syringe from his hat. He originally intended to save this powerful move for the Four Emperors, but he didn't expect Doflamingo to be so strong that he had no choice but to use it.

In front of the camera, Luffy pointed the syringe at his neck, took a deep breath, and then inserted the syringe into his carotid artery, injecting the unidentified red liquid into his body. After this dangerous act, he casually threw away the empty syringe, and by then the effects of the drug were already showing on him.

His heart and blood flow were more than ten times faster, putting a huge burden on his internal organs. He had to mobilize all his nutrients to digest this external power. If he hadn't eaten a lot of food beforehand, the Straw Hat Boy really wouldn't have been able to mobilize so much energy.

His rubber body began to bulge to varying degrees, as if another person was living inside him, trying to escape from Luffy's physical prison. Under this destruction from the inside out, the intense pain was a relatively minor side effect. Afterward, his rubber body could no longer bear the strain and began to tear, and blood began to soak his body. At the most dangerous moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The agonizing process seemed to slow down time. Luffy's forehead veins were about to burst, and the feeling of each day dragging on was truly unbearable. If he gave up at this moment, he would only face certain death. In fact, this was his first time using this injection, and he wasn't 100% sure he could succeed on the first try. However, Luffy firmly believed that he would win the gamble.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Hearing Luffy's painful howls, Gin looked behind him at his friend's position. He saw that the other's body was torn open, with some bones and internal organs exposed. His special body was still causing trouble, constantly attacking its host.

But in that moment of distraction, Doflamingo finally seized the opportunity. The white thread passed through the encirclement of elemental creatures and hooked onto the mouth of the three-headed water dragon, wanting the beast to shut up.

"After I take care of you, I'll send Luffy to keep you company. You won't be alone on your path to death; you might even be able to keep Law company." Doflamingo's invisible threads began to grow rapidly.

"Giant Wave Threads" uses threads generated by Conqueror's Haki to sweep around elemental creatures like ocean waves. Once inside Doflamingo's domain, they have no choice but to retreat, losing their chance to self-destruct.

The overwhelming offensive moves gradually compressed Gin's living space, and the number of elemental creatures produced by the Marine Admirals became less and less. This is where it became apparent that if one side possessed Conqueror's Haki, it would bring a decisive advantage. The aura of a king is not given lightly.

"Did I lose this gamble?" Akin was just a water mage with a slightly higher mana pool. Facing a melee mage like Doflamingo who had activated invincibility, the former had no way to deal with him and could only let the latter get closer and closer.

"Haha... This farce is finally coming to an end. Go to hell!" Doflamingo had already attacked the three-headed sea dragon. Gin had no way to retreat. Terrifying threads of Conqueror's Haki were generated around it, completely surrounding and sealing off its escape route by wrapping it up like dumplings.

"Overlord's Haki - God's Slaughter" - Threads surging from all directions, entwined with Conqueror's Haki, rushed towards the water dragon that Kin had transformed into. The Marine Admiral had no room to hide; he had nowhere to go.

Just when everyone thought Gin was about to die on the spot, a man with red skin rushed into the battle, carrying a straw hat on his back. "Doflamingo, it's you who should go to hell!"

When Doflamingo saw the Straw Hat Luffy in his current state, his previously lonely heart was shaken. His keen sixth sense sensed that something big was about to happen, but what danger could Monkey D. Luffy, who was covered in blood, possibly be in?

Straw Hat Luffy gathered all his strength into his right fist, then used his rubber body to instantly extend it, striking towards Doflamingo's location. This move didn't even involve Armament Haki, causing a mocking expression to appear on the enemy's face.

Doflamingo threw a left punch that landed squarely on Luffy's fist. The two exchanged blows under these unusual circumstances. Tenyasha thought he could quickly defeat Straw Hat Luffy, but when he touched him, he suddenly felt a strange power. Realizing the danger, it was too late for him to break free.

"Expanding the Domain: The Rubber Cycle's Desperate Situation"

Powered by the third stage of his Devil Fruit powers, Luffy finally reveals his ultimate trump card.

Chapter 238 Luffy's Domain

When Luffy shouted "Expand the domain!", Doflamingo was helpless. He and the Straw Hat Pirates were pulled into the blood-red domain space. The alternate dimension floated on the back of the Founding Titan and was dragged forward by Eren.

Those outside the domain cannot see what is happening inside, but Admiral Kin couldn't care less. He had already exceeded the time limit for maintaining his Logia-type awakening state, so he immediately deactivated the Devil Fruit power within his body. He wanted to maintain his human form to face the rest of his life, as being an elemental being was no different from being in prison.

The water molecules inside the three-headed water dragon evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon could no longer maintain their own shape. They gradually gathered and shaped into a human form, and Ah Jin once again appeared in front of the camera in human form.

Standing still, he took a step forward and suddenly his body became somewhat out of control. As a Marine Admiral, Akin stumbled and fell to the ground. The awakening of his Devil Fruit had consumed too much of his physical and mental strength. He had only been able to persevere until now thanks to his strong willpower.

"As expected, I didn't eat that Devil Fruit long enough. Luffy, I'm counting on you from now on."

Calculating the time, it has been less than five years since Gin ate the Rain-Rain Fruit. After parting ways with the Straw Hat Pirates, he led the remnants of his original crew into the Grand Line. Lacking food along the way, he had to fish himself, but unexpectedly caught an injured shark. He had even prepared his knife to cut it open.

Seeing the injured shark shedding tears, Ah Jin took pity on it and released it. Later, this intelligent animal, grateful for the kindness shown to it, actually invited humans to its home.

Not only did he harvest a large amount of food on this trip, but he also found a Devil Fruit in its refrigerator. This is the origin of the Logia-type Rain-Rain Fruit. Sometimes, people's fate is so unpredictable; you never know what kind of surprises heaven will have in store for you.

Outside the domain, all was peaceful and comfortable, but inside, a true battle of one against one was about to unfold. Doflamingo finally paid the price for his arrogance, as the Devil Fruit domain made this former Celestial Dragon suffer greatly.

Rewind to when he first entered the area. Doflamingo simply blinked, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed, everything around him feeling unfamiliar.

He couldn't sense the presence of the Founding Titan. He was standing on a red earth, like the Red Earth Continent. The main color of the environment was blood red. The sun in the sky had been replaced by a blood red moon. There were all sorts of strange things about this place. Doflamingo was always on guard against the Straw Hat Pirates sneaking up on him from the shadows.

"Could all of this be an illusion? Was I hypnotized by Straw Hat Luffy?" Doflamingo didn't feel that his position had changed. Besides, Straw Hat Luffy is a rubber man who ate the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit. If he has the ability to teleport enemies, why didn't he use it five years ago to save his sworn brother Ace?

He couldn't say he knew everything about this technique, but he was completely unaware of it. Allen still had some reservations about this ally. Tenyasha's two subordinates recently learned about this, but Doflamingo himself was unaware. It was a pity that they didn't have time to collude.

Doflamingo was completely unaware that all his subordinates were dead, all the Donquixote Recruits met with bad ends, Elsa would not acknowledge him as her father, and he was now all alone.

Luffy emerged from a crimson shadow, his appearance now completely transformed. His skin was now a vibrant red, his eyes were filled with blood, and his hair, which had turned from black to red like a living flame, stood upright in the air. He was now the same height as Doflamingo, becoming a unique red giant.

"You didn't know that Doflamingo's Domain is the third level of Devil Fruit power!"

Doflamingo scoffed at the absurd theory of Devil Fruits having three stages: first awakening, second liberation, and third domain. For the first time, he was somewhat defensive, saying, "You're talking nonsense. Devil Fruits only have a second type of power. It's all fake, all fake."

Doflamingo prides himself on being a genius among geniuses, able to develop the trashy Paramecia-type String-String Fruit to such an extent that ordinary mediocre people could not do it. He considers himself the only one in the world who has developed the second level of Devil Fruit power, and he is still complacent about it from time to time, thinking that everyone else is trash and cannot be compared with him.

The reason why Tenyasha can be resurrected comes from the power of the Devil Fruit's release. A resurrection thread is implanted in his body, ensuring that he has a near-immortal constitution. As long as the Devil Fruit is not completely removed from his body, he can be the one who laughs last.

When a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit within their body always undergoes a process of dissipation. Doflamingo's resurrection line exploits this bug, a conclusion he independently came to, and finally succeeded through countless experiments.

But today someone told him that such a powerful Devil Fruit release has even deeper levels of power yet to be explored. Of course, Doflamingo, being so arrogant, wouldn't believe it. He thought the Straw Hat was trying to confuse him. He believed that the other party must have used some kind of scientific method to put him into a hypnotic state. The other party's tricks were really too despicable!

However, as Luffy's domain began to operate, the blood-red moon in the sky started to move, and red mist began to rise around him. It was at this moment that Doflamingo realized that he was feeling unwell and had suddenly become weak in every way.

He looked in the direction of the Straw Hat Boy, but his opponent seemed to have become stronger and more powerful, with an aura several times stronger than before. Doflamingo roared, "What have you done? Answer me!"

Monkey D. Luffy revealed an evil smile, his manner and demeanor bearing a resemblance to Doflamingo's. "The moment I pulled you into my domain, a third of your core Haki, stamina, mental strength, and life force were absorbed into me. The longer you remain in my domain, the more your core attributes will become nourishment for me. If you don't defeat me here, the cycle of despair will never end."

This realm belongs to a powerful alternate dimension where the concept of time is almost nonexistent. If Luffy and Doflamingo fight here for a year, perhaps not even a single day will have passed in the outside world.

If it were any other Devil Fruit that developed such an abnormal domain, it might have been bursting from the moment it entered. However, Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit has a very high tolerance. He fully absorbed one-third of Doflamingo's core values ​​at his strongest state, and he was completely unaffected.

Furthermore, once the cycle of death is broken, one-tenth of the enemy's core stats will be permanently retained in Luffy, making it the most abnormal ability in the rubber field.

Fortunately, Monkey D. Luffy needs needles to activate his Domain, so his snowballing speed isn't too fast. Otherwise, before reaching the end of his journey, he could very well become invincible by gradually accumulating power through challenging many strong opponents.

Chapter 239 Personal Thoughts

The powerful figures at sea aren't all fools. If it weren't for the half-truths and half-lies in the sky, many of the things that are relevant to them would make sense, and some shady people would have to believe it even if they didn't want to.

Many secrets are known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. For example, the dark secrets of Doflamingo's forces are all true. As a result, this force can be said to be very unlucky, and they even had to clear mines for the Navy in advance.

Since the successful capture of Vergo, a long-time spy, the doubts about Skyfall within the Navy have vanished instantly. Now, the Navy is more interested in knowing the list of the next twelve admirals so that Fleet Admiral Sengoku can make contact with them in advance. However, they are also worried that if the list is exposed, the admirals will be intercepted and recruited by other forces.

Under this subtle influence, most people at sea chose to believe the contents of the Sky Curtain. The weak even regarded the Sky Curtain as the will of the heavens, and its descent was merely to give an early warning to the suffering masses. As King Allen successfully activated the Rumbling, apocalyptic theories emerged from the mouths of some bards and would soon be carried to the whole world by their travels.

Of course, the Four Emperors and the Five Elders scoffed at the above claims, speculating that the Sky Curtain was created by a powerful individual with the ability to uncover secrets and even predict the future. Given the myriad of Devil Fruits at sea, it wouldn't be surprising to find one that could predict the future.

As for the claim that the intelligence of the strong at sea decreased due to the appearance of the sky barrier, some people really overestimated their intelligence. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many jokes, and that faint Observation Haki is something I don't even know where to begin criticizing.

Kapok (Garp), the deserter king (Coby), the ship king (Jack), the cuckold king (Kuma), the moral kidnapping king (Vegapunk), the hero (Kozuki Oden), the sweating king (Monkey D. Dragon), etc. In short, some people at sea are really not very smart and are particularly easy to fool. It's no wonder they don't believe in something like the Sky Curtain, which is appearing for the first time.

Let's continue to feel sorry for Kaido. The protagonist's first Gear 5 was a full-health version with a miraculous resurrection. But when Luffy faced Huang Erjiu on Egg Point Island, his Gear 5 became a severely weakened version, quickly turning him into an old man. He then had to lie on the ground and eat to recover. In comparison, Kaido was the one who got the short end of the stick. His defeat forcibly ended the discussion about comparing the Four Emperors to each other. Kaido's strength is not the same as Kizaru's.

Once again, we heard about the power of the domain unfolding. It was first revealed to the audience through Buggy the Clown that Devil Fruits have a third level, and at first, some pirates were skeptical.

Many things are better heard than seen; there are countless unrealized theories in the ocean, and many academic fraudsters make a living from them. Crocodile may have encountered one such academic fraudster who told him that the Ancient Weapon Pluton was in the Alabasta Kingdom, probably receiving a large sum of money from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

When Allen first unleashed the power of his domain in the sky, all previous doubts vanished. This time, Monkey D. Luffy's domain expansion was completely different from the former, causing everyone to start speculating: Is it possible that everyone's domain expansion is different? Just as every Devil Fruit user possesses different abilities, perhaps the domains they develop are also different.

Eren's domain expands to the Rumbling Mercy level, affecting human beings entering this alternate dimension and turning them into controllable Pure Titans. Even his own use of Haki cannot counteract this effect, making it an extremely overpowered and bug-like ability.

Luffy's domain unfolds into the Rubber Reincarnation Desperate Situation. It's clear that this simple-minded guy came up with this idea. It can only be used for one-on-one battles between real men. With the physical abilities of a rubber man, he can absorb the core values ​​from the enemy's body. Everyone can already imagine what Doflamingo's fate would be.

This arrogant Celestial Dragon is finally going to be drained dry. Such a simple conclusion came to Katakuri's mind. It seems that this Celestial Dragon movie-watching trip is about to end, and he suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Domain expansion is truly a magical power. I wonder what my domain expansion will look like." This Sweet Commander had already begun to imagine his own abilities. Based on his own mutant Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit, he firmly believed that he was no weaker than Luffy in terms of domain expansion. The two would inevitably clash one day, and he looked forward to that day coming soon.

Charlotte Lindsay hasn't been craving food lately. She's been focusing her energy on the movie screen, so she's relaxed her pickiness about food. Basically, besides eating and sleeping, watching movies is all she does.

The old lady is a gifted individual. Over the years, she has given birth to many children, which has more or less affected her body. Even if she had given up on cultivation all these years, she could still firmly hold one of the Four Emperors' positions. She is not very interested in the power of her domain.

She actually wanted to know where the nun had gone and why her companions had abandoned her at the same time. Charlotte Linlin wanted to find these missing people and wanted to know what exactly happened back then. Her search for the truth never stopped.

"Sisters, where have you gone? Skyfall, if you know about this, please release it," Charlotte Linlin said, holding the photo frame in her hands and secretly shedding tears. The nun in the photo still had a smiling face, as if she were seeing her again.

While their mother was secretly grieving, the children around her were a little scared, fearing that she might have another episode and cause trouble. The slowdown in the expansion of the Big Mom Pirates in recent years is closely related to Charlotte Linlin.

As Mom gets older, the number of times she falls ill increases dramatically each year. Fortunately, only Cake Egg is affected. Other affiliated islands can live a life of comfort under the banner of the Four Emperors as long as they sacrifice some of their lifespan.

If an ordinary person without any special abilities or cheat codes were to be born into the world of One Piece, Charlotte Linlin's side would be the safest and happiest. The average lifespan on the high seas is very short, and people die young. Being able to have a stable life without starving, their quality of life far surpasses that of more than 90% of the population on the high seas. It would be well worth sacrificing some of their lifespan for this.

Pirates are quite envious of the expansion of domains, and some Devil Fruit users have already made up their minds to work hard to develop their own domains. Scientific research on Devil Fruits will soon become a hot topic on the high seas.

Garp, who was at Marine Headquarters, looked at his grandson's promising future with obvious pride on his face. He couldn't stop smiling, and it was as if he was saying that he had a great pirate grandson.

Sakazuki is now filled with a thousand regrets. If he had persisted a little longer in Loguetown, he might have been able to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates forever. It's all that damned former colleague's fault. He actually left the Revolutionary Army headquarters for his precious son. What a hypocrite!

These past two days, whenever Akainu appeared before Garp, the former Marine hero's eyes would widen into saucers, his expression filled with undisguised hatred. Garp was still blaming Sakazuki for killing one of his grandsons in the future. Although Ace was not yet dead, the grudge in his heart had been completely formed.
