"Nothing is impossible..."
Ron caught the Thunder Dragon Square Heavenly Halberd that had been ejected by the impact just now, and danced out a flower of thorns outlined by thunder and lightning, standing high in the sky.
"Lirisk told me everything about his father's abilities. Do you think I would be defenseless?"
Suddenly, Im stopped his flying body, lowered his gaze from above, and uttered a noun.
"The fruit awakens!"
"Only awakening can fight awakening", which involves the particle fluctuations of the same origin as Devil Fruit. Although they have the same origin, they are not mutually exclusive.
In Im's sight, Ron's whole body was now covered with the explosive corrosive thunder and lightning from the Thunder Fruit, forming a flame that enveloped him.
But he did not assimilate the atmosphere around him to form the power of Heaven like the thunder realm of the Black Hell.
Because these thunder and lightning overflowed from his body, like a cup filled with water that kept pouring in uncontrollably.
And in Ron's body, those extremely violent thunder and lightning completely controlled every inch of Ron's skin and every trace of flesh, and could fight against any Devil Fruit particle fluctuations that tried to erode the body.
If the thunder fruit in Ron's body is also within the range of Im picking, this trick will naturally be useless, but...
"Obviously, I made the right bet!"
He grinned ferociously, revealing a pair of strong white teeth.
Against the backdrop of the eyes of heaven above his head, Ron seemed like a true god overlooking the world, full of unquestionable majesty.
The Thunder Fruit, which has been developed to the deepest level, brings Ron the awakening suppression effect of the fruit's ability to ignore any gods! Unless he doesn't defend himself at all, if any fruit ability wants to work on him, he must ask for the opinion of the Thunder Fruit.
"As expected of you, Canglong!"
Im raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Wushou Mingmen's explosive killing moves hit his chin, but surprisingly they couldn't even injure him seriously.
"You dare to stand in front of me with just a baseless speculation."
"This is the biggest difference between you and me, Lord Im!"
Ron held the thunder halberd and lifted it up. He stepped back with his left foot and slowly lunged away: "I have said that people who are afraid of death have nothing to fear, no matter how strong they are."
"Humph, really?"
Im suddenly narrowed his eyes, murderous intent surged.
"Then let you see...the real scene of death!"
Uh-huh!
Thick black mist spread from behind him, cheering Ron up. Those black mist were different from all the darkness he had ever seen. They did not contain any kind of palpitating flavor, just the purest darkness.
It embraces all things and swallows everything.
Black figures slowly walked out from behind Im, separated in an arc and surrounded Ron.
Click!
The atmosphere in the space around the black shadow on the far left suddenly exploded, and a white mark that would only appear on broken glass stretched across the sky and the ground.
"Zhenzhen Fruit?!"
Ron frowned and looked at the other shadows.
Sure enough, the clouds and mist rolled up from below in violation of common sense of physics, wrapping one of the black shadows. The huge tornado of clouds and mist quickly covered the whole body of the black shadow.
"Bahhhhhhhhh!"
A human face appeared on the surface of the cloud and tornado, giving out a sneer: "Father, is he the enemy?"
"Soul Soul Fruit..."
Ron tightened his grip on the Thunder Dragon Fang Tianji: "Now it's time to play big!"
The shadows that followed were, as expected, the Dream Fruit that gave him a familiar feeling, the Vampire Fruit with a pair of bat wings spread out from behind, the Yamata-no-Orochi Fruit with its body expanded into eight heads and eight tails, and the Fluttering Fruit that floated quietly in the air.
The six fruit abilities that can be called monsters that Ron has encountered in his life are all revealed at this moment!
And not only that!
There is also the body of Im standing in the middle of the black shadow, surrounded by black mist.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's the Dark Fruit on your body?"
Im didn't answer, just put on a cold smile.
Seven in total!
The black shadows of seven powerful fruit abilities stood in the sky. Even if they didn't move at all, the terrifying coercion seemed to stop the space.
Ron would not be so naive as to think that the strength these black shadows could exert was inferior to their masters back then.
Even if he only maintains the same level as before, it's equivalent to Ron having to fight seven monster-level experts at the same time!
but…
"Why didn't you use the Burning Fruit? You even picked the Piaopiao Fruit, which means you started collecting Devil Fruits a long time ago."
Ron said and raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that... if the esper doesn't develop the fruit ability to a certain stage and let the seeds bear fruit, even you, the master, won't be able to pick them off?"
"Or... the fruit on his body is crooked and it's useless to pick it?"
If you want to ask what is the difference between Ace as a user with the burning fruit ability and the seven in front of him, it is that he fell into an awakening and went berserk.
To describe it as a fruit tree, it means that the fruit rots on the tree.
Crunch!
Im, who looked proud, suddenly turned pale, and shouted angrily: "Kill him!"
Earthquake!
The first one to take action was the black shadow with the power of the earthquake fruit on the left. He was not the fastest, but in terms of destructive power and coverage area, the earthquake fruit was a well-deserved natural disaster, unmatched by the general natural system.
A terrible shock swept through the world in an instant, rushed towards his face, and blew the cloak from Ron's back. The black cross and white flag representing the authority of the government suddenly fell into pieces and turned into fragments, floating in the air.
"Well done!"
Facing this terrifying natural disaster-level attack and the six powerful fruit abilities on the opposite side, Ron's eyes burned with fighting intent and he stepped fiercely.
Moon step!
The sky thunders and the cloud dragon kills!
The Thunder Dragon Square Heavenly Halberd suddenly turned into an incomparably bright thunder pillar, and the mighty vibration rolled over it. It was enough to tear the ocean apart when placed on the sea surface. At this moment, it was unable to shake the thunder pillar even one bit.
Seeing this scene, Im's face turned even darker.
He didn't tell a single truth that hurt his morale. Although Ron had surprised him in the past, and he really wanted to find out the secrets that existed in him, the Thunder Fruit was still within his control, and it would be a little troublesome at most.
But then something happened that caught both him and Ron off guard.
That was because Nibelungen wanted to destroy Ron in advance, who was still an increasingly dazzling loyal lackey under the government at that time, and let Lirisk fall into a state of awakening and berserk where he was almost certain to die, under the pretense of helping him awaken.
I thought that in this way, I would be completely unable to pick the Thunder Fruit, but there is no doubt about the consequences of awakening and going on a rampage, which is equivalent to solving this threat in disguise. Im has nothing to regret, but is happy to see it.
But the result...
Not only did Ron not die, but he vented his anger through a battle with Big Mom and regained control of the Thunder Fruit in his body.
From then on, Im was extremely shocked to find that the last connection between himself and the Thunder Fruit was completely severed, and he could no longer control even a single bit.
This power was completely taken away from him!
And as Ron continued to grow stronger, the Thunder Fruit suddenly became a third-party predator between him and Neptune.
Not only does his own existence become more stable, but the power of the thunder and lightning becomes more and more powerful, as if it is stuck in his throat.
These black shadows are indeed the fruits he took after the death of the ability user, but the attack also contains his natural management authority over the Devil Fruit. Even Akainu could compete with Whitebeard in killing moves, but under the interference of this power , his magma will only fall to the disadvantage.
But Ron was different. Even the thunder and lightning that spilled out from the aftermath of the attack were not affected by this power at all.
Boom... click! !
The Eye of Heaven suddenly burst out with lightning, instantly suppressing the shock between heaven and earth.
There is not much time, less than a second, but it is enough.
Lei Zhu, who seemed to be stuck in a quagmire during the shock and crushing, took the opportunity to break through the obstacle, and the thunder halberd ruthlessly stabbed towards the black shadow of the shock fruit.
"The evolved form of Skynet, Eye of the Sky...?"
Im raised his head and squinted his eyes at the sky: "It's too much trouble!"
Heart Net→Sky Net→Eye of Heaven!
These three stages represent not only the improvement of Ron's domineering power, but also the evolution of the thunder fruit's ability.
From the Heart Net to the Sky Net is only a "quantitative" difference, which is still within the scope of the solution of seeing, hearing, and color; while from the Sky Net to the Eye of the Sky, it is the evolution of thunder and lightning, and a "qualitative" leap!
Evolved from an ordinary "thunder" to a "god"!
From an ordinary substance relying on the destructive power of high-temperature electric current, it has become a symbol of destructive power that is not affected by anything.
This is the change in the mentality of Ron and Im after they officially confronted each other.
With its existence, Ron can suppress the release of most abilities without too much control.
Im and the black shadow figured it out, and as soon as he thought about it, the fastest vampire fruit black shadow flapped its wings and whizzed up.
But at this time...
Poof! ! !
The ferocious and overbearing thunder halberd tore the shoulder of a black figure, separating his left hand and a large piece of his torso.
But it was not the Shock Fruit Shadow that was hurt, but the Dream Fruit Shadow who was standing farthest back, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Breaking through the shock blockade and taking advantage of teleportation, Ron appeared directly behind them!
"The true meaning of fighting a large number with a small number is that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them!"
Ron flew forward, held the shadow between his elbows, and staged a strong man-lock.
Seeing Im's suddenly flushed face, he grinned.
"Big Power Generator!"
Boom! !
Boom! !
The thunder pillar touching the blue sky suddenly erupted. Looking from outer space, an extremely dazzling light pillar appeared on this blue planet, standing erect between the sky and the earth.
