Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Instead of guessing, let's mind our own business first!"

There was a flash of golden light.

Leone charged straight in. With his immortality as a backup, what was there to be afraid of!

Don't be timid, just do it!

[King of Beasts Transformation - Undying Fiery Lion]

"A master of physical skills?"

Muka frowned even more. In his eyes, she was a wild and beautiful woman who launched a fierce attack on him with a ruthless and reckless fighting style that even he dared not confront head-on.

"We're only after the treasure!"

"Now that you've been discovered, hand over all your treasure. Don't worry, I'm only interested in Devil Fruits! You can't handle the rest, so give them all to me..."

Locke* is very spiritual in asking for things.

"Hand over the treasure?"

"Devil Fruit?"

"Hahaha……"

Muka was so angry he almost laughed. That was a treasure of the sea, worth hundreds of millions of Berries. Even the royal treasury couldn't possibly have that much. And these guys of unknown origin were asking for it so readily?

"you!"

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

"I--"

"But I've never been a weakling!"

"Just a bunch of cowardly thieves hiding their heads and tails! And that's all!"

Muka's hair and beard stood on end, and a powerful surge of energy poured out from his body, while endless streams of water surged into the sky, forming a colossal beast behind him from which the waters converged.

It roared with its head held high, utterly arrogant!

Chapter 214: Only the dead can keep secrets!

"Roar--"

A deafening roar erupted from the giant beast.

Despite being a monster simulated by flowing water, it possesses an immense aura, even more powerful than Muka himself, with an overwhelming pressure that seems to carry the immense force of a flowing spring.

Everyone standing in front of him seemed to be carrying a towering mountain on their backs.

While not as exaggerated as the 'Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit,' the suppression of immense force was clearly not an illusion; it forcibly burdened the person with sandbags, inevitably causing a decrease in speed.

"What a strange power..."

Leone frowned. This inexplicable suppression was, for someone who specialized in speed and strength, the weakening effect was arguably the strongest.

"Gravity field?"

"wrong!"

"Far more than that..."

Locke shook his head. The opponent's strength was clearly not just about suppressing people with his domain and applying a debuff to weaken them. The water behemoth roared to the sky, but its majestic posture showed that it was definitely not a small character.

Unless it's just a showy character with a lot of strength, someone of that size should definitely be quite powerful in combat.

Boom!

With a flick of its tail, the water flow, like a snake's tail, directly shattered a five- or six-meter-long stone.

Locke's guess was confirmed in no time.

"No!"

"It's not about stance!"

"It's flowing water—"

"His power is related to the flow of water!"

Locke's pupils contracted slightly. Upon contact with Esdeath's frost power, which created a time-stopping force, Locke quickly noticed some clues from the subtle attack just now. With his keen perception, he soon saw through some of the truth.

"Has it been discovered?"

"Such keen intuition and insight!"

While Muka praised him, a murderous glint flashed in his weathered eyes.

"pity……"

"No matter how smart you are, it's useless. Since you've driven me to this point, your deaths are already sealed!"

"Me! (chag)"

"But it possesses the power to manipulate water!"

"The most powerful force in the world!"

An arrogant voice rang out from him; his weathered old age could not conceal the fanaticism and madness on his face.

in other words.

He suddenly became completely delusional!

He resembles a fanatical follower of a certain cult's true god, except that his fanaticism is directed at himself.

Rumble!

The water surged skyward, transforming into various magnificent forms, its flow echoing Muka's voice as if responding to his words.

Lightning, gravity, fire, photons...

In other worlds.

It is difficult to distinguish the superiority or inferiority of various forces, as they are all fundamental forces constituting the world.

But in this world where the ocean occupies an absolute central position.

Controlling water!

Absolutely the strongest, surpassing everything!

Ninety-nine percent of the conflicts take place on the sea. If someone can manipulate water, they are indescribably powerful. The one who controls this vast ocean is undoubtedly the strongest.

Even if the World Government has a strong foundation, it is nothing more than a floating island in the ocean. How can humans and Earth be compared in strength?

If one could truly control water, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call oneself a true god.

but--

"Controlling water flow?"

Everyone else couldn't help but show shock, but Locke was able to keep his expression unchanged.

even!

He deliberately added a hint of disdain: "I think it's about manipulating freshwater!"

"And! It can only be fresh water that is related to you!"

Let's make a bold guess.

He spoke with absolute certainty.

"you--"

"How did you..."

Locke, who made bold guesses but carefully verified them, quickly noticed the fleeting change in expression on Muka's face.

This instantly confirmed my suspicions.

He just said.

There's absolutely no way such a Devil Fruit power could exist!

Manipulating water?

Controlling the seas—that's a power that surpasses even the World Government. If it truly existed, how could those old guys remain inactive given their apprehension?

Totonia, the land of fresh water, may have considerable strength, but it's only at the level of an empire. Even Rocks didn't seem particularly wary of it, let alone the World Government.

In the original story, he was relegated to a background extra. If he truly possessed such strength, would he still be hiding in such a place? He would have already broken out of the isolated island and dominated the seas!

He can unleash tsunamis and ocean currents at the drop of a hat; the ocean is his domain, and even the world government couldn't withstand it...

As for shaping the spring water, like the posture indicated by the arm?

Coincidentally!

The Homies that were infused with a soul by Big Mom seemed to achieve a similar effect. If Locke remembered correctly, Big Mom had a dark, watery ball in her hand, which was infused with the soul of the sea.

Given that he can unleash waves at will, it's not surprising that Muka could develop a similar power.

after all!
