Chapter 196: Momo Fruit
Chapter 196: Momo Fruit
The moment the pit was spat out, Ivankov's movements stuttered, and a solemn expression flashed in his eyes. Subconsciously, his left eye widened, and then he forcefully blinked.
"Death Wink!"
Boom!
Just in front of his eyelids, the explosive wind detonated on the pits that were about to be struck, creating a gust of wind that blew them away.
"Oh? Similar to Rokushiki, but using the force of a blink instead?"
Sarge asked in puzzlement, "Why not spend that effort on improving your punching technique instead?"
It wasn't Conqueror's Haki; it was purely the explosive force generated by the blink, and it was quite powerful.
But if blinking could generate force, wouldn't using his arms create even greater power?
"This is charm! Boy! Yahha!"
Ivankov struck a pose, standing on one leg like a golden rooster. He then swiftly advanced toward Sarge, his hands formed into knife-hands, leaving afterimages that filled the space around his large face. It seemed like his head was his only body, and the flashing afterimages were his tentacles.
What a freak.
"New Okama Kenpo 44: Beauty Secret Art! Dream Striking Treatment Fist!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The knife-hands pierced the fruits and vegetables in front of him, shredding them into pieces with extreme speed, but it was all just air.
"I don't want to come into contact with a pervert like you."
Sarge, who was at the side, took a pear, bit it twice, and what was left was the core. "Let's see how my ability fares against you."
He pulled his arm back, ready to throw.
Ivankov, standing on his toes, shouted, "Is it that speed from earlier again, boy? That technique..."
Whoosh!
Just as Ivankov was speaking, something pitch-black shot rapidly toward him, leaving absolutely no time to react.
In fact...
He didn't even see Sarge's arm move; he only saw the posture of a throw!
How did he throw it without moving?
No...
He didn't not move...
It was just too fast for him to see clearly!
"Rotating Beauty!"
Ivankov spun on his toes, flipping his body in the air and spinning twice to try and rub shoulders with the rapidly thrown pit.
A smirk tugged at Sarge's mouth. "Useless."
The pit that had been thrown suddenly expanded to a diameter of about one meter, directly hitting the spinning Ivankov.
The enlargement of the volume also meant an enlargement of the angle.
Bang!
Ivankov was struck in the chest by this thing, causing him to crash into the wall. The huge pit also dissipated its Conqueror's Haki at this moment, shattering into countless tiny crumbs that fell to the ground.
The release of this ability was not permanent; after a period, it would revert to its original state.
Sarge thought for a moment, and with a movement of his heart, those pit crumbs shrank back down, restoring them to their originally sized crumbs.
In addition to this, he could also voluntarily dispel the ability himself, without having to wait for the time to revert.
But generally, there was no need for that.
Just like the fruit's name, Momo, which meant'more'.
Yes, the fruit that Sarge obtained, the one that had actively chosen him, was the Momo Fruit.
After killing Bonney Wald, the fruit had come to him on its own.
The old man he had killed with one move in the prison was once the 'World Destroyer' Bonney Wald, and this ability had also once belonged to him.
This further convinced Sarge that this fruit chose its hosts.
Otherwise, why would it hurry over as soon as its previous host died?
In other words...
"Compared to him, am I a more suitable master for you?"
Sarge looked at his hands and let out a sinister smile. "That's a nice implication, Momo. More... yes, I want more. I want more of everything—gold, silver, treasures, power, influence, territories, industries... the more, the better. You didn't choose the wrong master!"
"You... your ability..."
"Tenfold, Shave: God Speed.
Sarge disappeared from his spot.
Before Ivankov could finish his sentence after falling from the wall, a leg infused with Haoshoku Haki viciously struck his face. In the aftermath, Ivankov's peripheral vision clearly saw everyone around him fall to the ground.
Bang!!
His leg didn't even make contact with Ivankov; the outward manifestation of Haoshoku Haki alone attacked his face, kicking him into the wall and creating a deep, human-shaped hole that penetrated through the food warehouse wall and into the passage on the other side. It left a deep, human-shaped imprint.
"Absolute speed also represents absolute power."
Sarge retracted his leg and laughed at the hole, "You don't seem to get it, hmm hmm hmm."
Ivankov wasn't weak; he could be considered a rarely-seen strong individual.
However, in the face of this speed, he couldn't react as well.
This fruit amplifies the foundation!
As long as Sarge's basic qualities are solid, the amplification will be significant.
His speed was already exceptionally fast, not to mention his use of 'Shave'. In terms of Rokushiki usage, he could surpass those so-called 'once-in-eight-centuries geniuses' by far.
Just a tenfold speed amplification had already caught up to the so-called hundredfold amplification that Wald displayed in the prison before.
It was extremely suitable for him!
There was no need for any fancy abilities; amplification alone was enough!
This fruit's ability allowed him to amplify non-living entities he came into contact with by up to a maximum of a hundred times, including speed, volume, weight, strength, and so on.
Similarly, he could also amplify himself, a living being.
However, it couldn't amplify willpower.
Willpower belonged to the individual, unaffected by abilities.
But it was still strong enough.
Although Sarge only demonstrated speed amplification, the others were applicable as well. After all, as an ability, if speed could be amplified, it wouldn't make sense for the others not to be amplifiable.
Amplification was, of course, all-encompassing.
However, it couldn't be used right now.
Sarge was very strong, and the fruit didn't need to be developed from scratch. From the moment he obtained the fruit, he could utilize a hundredfold amplification. But for non-living objects, it was fine, as they would shatter if they shattered.
However, it didn't work on humans.
Sarge could withstand a tenfold speed amplification.
A hundredfold speed, coupled with Haoshoku Haki, could also provide a protective effect, preventing backlash on himself.
But for the others, forget it.
Amplification of Strength:
Sarge's strength was already terrifyingly powerful, but this power was based on his physical condition. To exert greater strength, he would have to use the Dragon Breath Turn technique in conjunction with an enhancement of his physical condition.
Otherwise, forget about a hundredfold amplification; even a three to fivefold increase would cause Sarge's physical condition to crumble under the strain.
A single punch would be enough to devastate his opponent, but Sarge's hand would definitely be destroyed in the process.
Similarly, weight amplification would be disastrous. A single increase in weight would be problematic, but coupled with speed, the resulting force would be far greater than a simple addition of the two.
Volume Amplification:
This was the most troublesome aspect. Once amplified, the body's volume would increase, leading to greater weight and strength. However, the increase in volume alone would cause issues without a corresponding enhancement in physical condition. He would end up crushing himself under the increased weight and size.
What was the point of that?
It would be like a living target.
The larger the volume, the weaker the Haoshoku Haki coverage would be. Too much size would make it difficult to protect every part of his body.
His Haoshoku Haki intensity wasn't sufficient for that.
But this ability's most convenient aspect was that Sarge didn't need to divert his attention to develop the Devil Fruit's power. He could continue specializing in physical techniques.
He was inherently a master of physical techniques!
The stronger the foundation, the greater the ability's potential!
