We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 95 I have mastered the core of the fragmented structure

In fact, the pirate world at this moment has indeed undergone tremendous changes, just as King Neptune had imagined.

The four seas, the Grand Line, the Sky Islands, and even the New World where the strong roam freely have all been transformed into entirely new art styles because of the addition of the attribute "fragmented".

A pirate was about to be executed. The executioner brought down his blade, but his head flew off (he was a powerless person before, so he wasn't bound by sea stone shackles).

Some civilians in the midst of war walked through the battlefield amidst the flying swords, roaring guns, and chaotic fighting, yet remained unharmed and unscathed.

There are also those who already possessed Devil Fruit abilities and fused their powers with the Chop-Chop Fruit, developing many novel applications.

Everything was just as the dragon had concluded.

Bucky the Clown puts on a huge comedy that everyone can laugh at, all on a world stage.

The mortality rate of civilians in countries around the world has been greatly reduced because of the appearance of this fruit.

but.

For the powerful figures behind the scenes who already had far-reaching plans and absolute power, the awakening of the Chop-Chop Fruit by the entire population completely disrupted their plans and even reversed the situation.

At this moment.

In almost every corner of the world, unexpected battles are unfolding.

East China Sea, Xiluobu Village, a dark corner.

No, no, no, no.

At this moment, Usopp's legs and torso were curled up in an underground cave, trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm going to die, I'm definitely going to die. What was I thinking, thinking of fighting that kind of monster?"

On the surface of the earth.

Countless sword energies flashed back and forth in the air at terrifying speeds invisible to the naked eye.

Usopp's eyes and hands flew around in terror as he desperately tried to escape.

The story begins three days ago.

Three days ago, Usopp, who was trying to develop the use of the "Chop-Chop Fruit", split off one of his ears and accidentally overheard a secret conversation between Kaya's "butler", Kuro and Django.

It turns out he was actually a notorious pirate with a bounty of 1600 million, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, powerful, cunning, and ruthless—

La, having lain dormant in Xiluobu Village for three years, was only interested in seizing the property of the Kaya family.

Recently, it's almost time to close the net. Once he has the assets, Kro will mercilessly kill Kaya's entire family.

Even the entire village could be plunged into crisis.

A panicked Usopp wanted to tell the village the news, but no one listened to him. Even his childhood friend Kaya took it for granted and assumed he was lying again.

In despair, Usopp had no choice but to fight Kuro alone. His longing for Kaya and the awakened power of the "Chop-Chop" Fruit gave him the courage to fight Kuro.

At first, the battle went very smoothly.

The Chop-Chop Fruit is a huge weakening for swordsmen, but a huge strengthening for snipers.

The sniper, who originally needed to be protected and hide everywhere to take high ground for shooting, now only needs to separate his hands and eyes to launch continuous attacks on the ground like a railgun, carrying out carpet bombing.

Usopp concealed his torso and legs in a hidden corner, leaving only his hands and eyes exposed. Relying on his powerful sniping ability, he unleashed his "Final Move: Gunpowder Star," quickly defeating the Black Cat Pirates' leader, "Zango."

Following that, the other members of the Black Cat Pirates were also successively knocked down by Usopp, who was conducting a carpet bombing from the air.

It is immune to slashing attacks when torn apart, but it is helpless against large-scale bombardment.

For this day, Usopp even specially improved his gunpowder, making its blast radius larger and its power stronger. Several pirates who tried to split their bodies to avoid the attack were blasted into incapacitated by his gunpowder.

but.

After Kro made his move, the tide of battle was instantly turned.

He's too fast.

Even the improved gunpowder star could not keep up with the speed of his shattered body.

Aside from the first attack causing minor injuries to Kro, he instantly dodged the subsequent gunpowder stars, keeping them all out of the blast radius.

He even discovered Usopp's hidden hands and eyes high in the sky. With a few flashes, Kuro split off several sharp claws and shot them toward Usopp.

Kuro's signature move, "Slap Death," has a speed comparable to the Navy's Six Powers "Shave," and with Usopp's current dynamic vision, he simply cannot catch its trajectory.

What's even more despairing is that, in order to counter the "Chop-Chop Fruit," Kuro, known as the "Hundred Plans," has tied gunpowder to his cat paws. Once it hits an enemy, even if the target splits into pieces in time, he will quickly detonate the gunpowder to cause damage.

Although the effective attack with an accompanying explosion only has one chance, in Kuro's opinion, a weakling like Usopp would be incapacitated by a single explosion.

"Stop dodging. You can't even see my attack trajectory. Even gunpowder can't hit my split body. You might as well just admit defeat."

"With your skills, how about becoming a sniper in my pirate crew? I wouldn't mind giving you a share of my fortune. By the way, you really like Kaya, don't you? I'll give her to you, how about that?"

"you----"

Kuro's attempt to win Usopp over only fueled Usopp's inner rage and courage.

He finally hardened his heart, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination. He gripped the slingshot tightly with his right hand, and placed himself on the rubber band as if he were the projectile with his left, aiming at Crow.

"It's useless, it's useless. I can dodge your gunpowder explosion in an instant. You can never hurt me!"

Seeing Usopp still struggling, Kuro laughed wildly, even in this era of widespread division, he was still the one who could crush the weak.

"Ultimate Kill One—"

"A gunpowder star torn to pieces!"

Usopp used his left hand to forcefully launch his fist out.

Seeing the streak of light about to hit him, Kro smiled and instantly split his body in two, flying away at an incredible speed in all directions.

Given the blast radius of the gunpowder planet, he would definitely be there this time too—

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

However, to Kro's surprise, the "bullet" split into five "shrapnels" in mid-air, each of which flew rapidly toward his split body before exploding instantly.

above the sky.

Usopp winced in pain, but when he looked in Kuro's direction, he had a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"You guys are already strong, so why would you bother to study the life-saving ability of tearing apart like I do?"

"I discovered it long ago. The Chop-Chop Fruit can not only split the body, but also separate objects that are in direct contact with the body."

In the original work, Buggy's clothes also split apart each time he splits. As long as the object being split contains fragments of the ability user's body, the object itself can also achieve the splitting effect.

"I had already hidden gunpowder in my left fist. Just before the gunpowder was about to fall, I split my fist into five different directions and detonated them instantly."

"This is the ultimate weapon: the four-part gunpowder star."

Seeing Kuro faint, his face charred and spitting out black smoke, Usopp withdrew his charred left hand and a smile appeared on his face.

Compared to the vast ocean, the battle he won today is nothing.

but.

His development of the "object splitting" technique is groundbreaking for this era of widespread fragmentation.

East China Sea, Cocoa West Village.

For this village, which had been ruled by the fish-man dragon for more than ten years, awakening the Chop-Chop Fruit did not change their lives much.

Although his body can split, the Fishman Dragon's fists are as hard as his swords, and anyone who dares to resist will suffer the same fate as before.

The dragon's status remains unchanged despite the appearance of the Chop-Chop Fruit.

youngest?

Ken, the sheriff of Cocoyasi Village who once dared to challenge the Arlong Pirates, doesn't think so.

He put on his hat, the windmill creaked and groaned as he strode confidently toward Dragon Park. "These sea charts are yours to draw, our genius navigator, Nami."

Meanwhile, in Dragon Park.

The dragon walked towards Nami with a smile, holding up a thick stack of sea charts in one hand.

"Um.

""

Nami nodded calmly, not wanting to say another word to the dragon, her mind preoccupied with other matters.

Since the entire population awakened to the Chop-Chop Fruit, her work of stealing treasures has become much easier, and she's not far from the "100 million Berries" price offered by the evil dragon.

She had already decided that once she redeemed Cocoyasi Village, she would lead the villagers away from this nightmarish place no matter what.

"Hehe, then I won't disturb your work, genius navigator."

-

The dragon laughed loudly as it retreated, but a hint of indifference flashed deep in its eyes.

How could he possibly let Nami have her way?

Humans are just humans, far less intelligent than those fish-men, yet they actually believe such nonsense.

Sooner or later, he will create a "Mary Geoise" for the fish-men, enslaving humans in the same way that humans enslaved fish-men, so that they too can experience the humiliation that fish-men have suffered.

boom!

however.

Just as the dragon was thinking about how to collude with Colonel Rat to steal Nami's 100 million Berries.

A sound, neither too loud nor too soft, came from the gate of Dragon Park.

"Who is it?"

The dragon frowned slightly, looking at the officials beside him with displeasure.

"It's that human from Cocoyasi Village, Ken. He actually dared to shoot at us?"

On the watchtower, "Chiu," a member of the Arlong Pirates, looked down at Ken on the ground with a look of surprise on his face, as if he had seen the biggest joke in the world.

how many years.

Ever since the Arlong Pirates wiped out several villages and killed all the foolish rebels, it has been countless years since anyone dared to rebel.

Even Ah Jian himself was spared by the evil dragon on purpose.

He wanted to use Ah Jian, covered in scars and disfigured, to warn the villagers, to warn the people of Cocoa West Village, what the consequences of resistance would be.

But now.

This guy not only doesn't cherish the life the evil dragon gave him, but he also dares to come and provoke us?

"Chirp, go out and take a look."

Upon hearing that it was some weak human who had come to the door, the evil dragon casually sent out one of his subordinates, thinking that it would be enough to deal with the guy.

A few minutes later.

boom!

With a bounty of 5.5 million Berries, the Kissing Fishman "Chiu" possesses ten times the arm strength of an ordinary person and spews water droplets with the power of bullets. Yet, he was thrown into Arlong Park like a kite with a broken string, his entire body covered in wounds, as if he had been punched thousands of times.

"What happened? Chui got defeated?"

The evil dragon stared in disbelief at Qiu, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and then waved his hand, signaling the other cadres to leave as well.

"Croobi, Hachi, you two go too."

Chu is good at long-range attacks, and in this era where everyone is divided, it is not impossible for her to lose. But Xiaoba and Kurobi are different.

Croobi, a 40th dan in Fishman Karate, is capable of using the "Thousand-Watt Punch" and possesses extremely strong wrist strength, far surpassing that of Chuo.

Hachi, a six-sword style swordsman, may have swordsmanship that is no longer useful in this era, but the power of his six arms is not to be underestimated. He can split off many tentacles at the same time to attack.

These two were already the strongest fighters in the Arlong Pirates besides Arlong himself. Even if Ken brought reinforcements, it was absolutely impossible for them to—

boom!

boom!

Hachi and Croobi were defeated even faster than Chuo. Less than a minute had passed before they were sent flying into Arlong Park, their injuries even more severe.

Evil Dragon: ? ? ?

What exactly is going on?

How could a mere human, whose arm strength is only one-tenth that of a fishman, possibly beat all three of his subordinates into this state?

Completely baffled, he could no longer sit still, so he stood up and walked towards the gate of Evil Dragon Park.

Nami, who had been hiding in the drawing room, couldn't resist any longer and quickly ran out.

She wanted to persuade the dragon that even if it cost more money, it shouldn't allow the villagers to be harmed anymore.

Although it's unclear why the villagers were able to defeat the three executives, Chuu, Croobi, and Hachi, Arlong's strength is on a completely different level from theirs.

Although the dragon's bounty is only 20 million, that's because he colluded with Colonel Rat to secretly lower the price. His true strength might be more than 100 million. Even in the first half of the Grand Line, he would be considered a well-known and powerful figure.

How could anyone possibly win a fight against such a powerful opponent?

With this thought in mind, Nami walked out the door.

But when she saw what was in front of her...

In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply.

"Hey, you evil dragon, your subordinates are nothing special. They get weaker and weaker as you go further in the story."

Ah Jian held a gun in his right hand, straightened the windmill on his hat with his left, and said with a smile as the windmill creaked and turned.

Behind him.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand.

Thousands of hands and arms floated in the sky.

Those hands, some holding hoes, some holding sickles, some holding rakes, and some holding kitchen knives, all hovered behind Ah Jian, pointing in unison towards the evil dragon.

This moment.

Even the most formidable dragon, who had seen countless storms, couldn't help but widen its eyes in disbelief.

"You—you all—"

He never imagined that the "Four-in-One Fruit" could be used in this way.

He had always believed that fishmen were a superior race, born with ten times the strength of humans, and that they would not be afraid even when surrounded by hundreds of people.

Numbers are of no use in the face of absolute power.

but.

The appearance of the Chop-Chop Fruit completely changed this situation.

The reason why group battles are ineffective against strong individuals is mainly due to three factors, apart from a few individuals possessing Conqueror's Haki: "the number of effective attackers is limited," "the weak are too easily killed," and "the attack power cannot be concentrated."

Even if tens of thousands of people surround an attack, only a few dozen on the outermost edge can actually launch an effective attack. Therefore, a strong person can instantly kill thousands of rabble with a single swing of their sword, rendering group attacks ineffective.

But all these shortcomings were erased in the era of the Great Four's fragmentation.

Is the effective number of attackers limited?

It's certainly difficult for a hundred people to squeeze together, but it's entirely possible for a thousand fists to each throw a punch.

Are the weak too easily defeated?

Not to mention that the Chop-Chop Fruit grants its user immunity to slashes and the ability to dodge most attacks, the very fact that the "hands and body are separated" greatly enhances safety.

Just like Ah Jian now, thousands of hands appeared behind him, but the real bodies of those villagers were all well hidden. Even if they were attacked, they would only lose one hand at most.

Compared to losing your life, this price is far too small.

The attack force cannot be concentrated?

This point was perfectly resolved by the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit.

"Evil dragon, you once said that fishmen's arm strength is ten times that of humans, but your arm strength is dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary fishmen, capable of lifting houses and crushing cannonballs."

As Ah Jian spoke, thousands of arms behind him continuously split, assembled, and recombined.

At last.

Under the dragon's incredulous gaze, it assembled into a gigantic arm resembling that of a "giant."

Each part of the arm represents a muscle in a human arm.

These muscles, through the "recombination" ability of the Chop-Chop Fruit, briefly merge into one, concentrating all their power together.

"Then I'll use the power of a thousand, ten thousand humans to defeat you!"

"Fracturing in pieces, yet united as one!!!"

boom!!!!!

The enormous arm, composed of thousands upon thousands of people, even if each person could only exert one-tenth of their strength, still possessed a total power a thousand times greater than that of an ordinary person. This earth-shattering force deformed and twisted the dragon's body, and the Dragon Park behind it was also destroyed by the terrifying force of the punches.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ah Jian let out a painful roar.

Many villagers behind them also screamed in agony.

Although the "United We Stand" technique can concentrate power, the strength of each person's arm remains unchanged. If the outermost part of the arm hits Ah Long, it will directly suffer the excruciating pain of a fracture.

but.

Not a single person backed down.

This is their victory, and a punch that they had to deliver.

This punch will usher in a new chapter in the era of the Great Four's fragmentation.
