Chapter 268: Three Logia Fruits?!!
Sentomaru strode forward and grabbed the Stone-Stone Fruit. A hearty smile hung on his face as his voice echoed across the venue like thunder:
"BWAHAHA! This fruit... is way too perfect for this great one!"
He hoisted the fruit high, pointing at the distant horizon where the sea met the sky, grinning wildly:
"From now on, if anyone dares to attack the Science Unit's base, I'll just control the entire island... and smash them into meat patties alive!!!"
The spectator stands instantly erupted in laughter and cheers. Sentomaru's bold words made the soldiers' blood boil!
Roy stood before the podium, nodding slightly. "You chose well. For you, the Stone-Stone Fruit isn't just power; it's defense."
"Developed to its late stages, your perception will cover the entire land. Enemies will have nowhere to hide."
"As long as you stand on the ground, you can control the entire island...
Combined with Vegapunk's technology, you will become an 'Island Lord' in the truest sense."
Sentomaru listened, his eyes shining. Thrilled, he pounded his chest violently. "Awesome! This is exactly the power I wanted!"
With that, he didn't hesitate to take a huge bite out of the Stone-Stone Fruit—
"URGH—!!! GAAAAAAHHHH—!!!"
His entire face twisted instantly. His tongue hung out, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and his whole body spasmed as if he had been smoked by poison gas!
"This... this taste... it's like a rotten sock that's been soaked for ten years... AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
The entire venue burst into uproarious laughter!
"HAHAHA! Sentomaru's expression is priceless!"
"Devil Fruits really live up to their reputation... so disgusting it makes your soul leave your body!"
Even Sakazuki at the judges' table had a rare twitch at the corner of his mouth, as if recalling the nightmare of eating the Magma Fruit decades ago.
Forcing down the nausea, Sentomaru swallowed the fruit pulp and leaped to the center of the plaza!
"BOOM!!!"
He stomped heavily on the ground, throwing his arms wide. Armament Haki and the power of the Stone-Stone Fruit erupted simultaneously—
"RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
The ground of the deserted island vibrated abruptly. The earth seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand. Countless rocks surged and climbed up Sentomaru's legs, gathering around him in the blink of an eye to form a rock giant dozens of meters tall!
"RUSTLE-RUSTLE-RUSTLE—!!!"
The giant was covered in heavy rock armor. Its arms were thick as mountains, with Sentomaru's emblem carved into its chest. Looking down at the entire island, its aura was like an ancient earth god awakening.
Sentomaru's voice boomed from the giant's chest cavity: "How is it?!! This great one's—'Stone God Soldier'!!!"
The Marine soldiers in the spectator stands were dumbfounded!
"Th-This is way too exaggerated, isn't it?!"
"The rocks of the entire island obey his command?!"
"A Devil Fruit... can actually elevate strength to this level in just an instant?!!"
Momonga gripped his katana tightly, an unconcealable longing flashing in his eyes. "The power of a Devil Fruit... truly is desirable."
The eight swords at Onigumo's waist trembled slightly as he muttered low, "If I could get one... what level would my swordsmanship evolve to..."
Smoker bit his cigar, exhaling a puff of white smoke coldly. "Hmph! I can do that much too."
Sentomaru controlled the giant to slowly bend down, the grinding boulders emitting thunderous booms. "Roy! Watch closely!!!"
He abruptly controlled the giant to throw a punch at a distant cliff—
"BOOM—!!! RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
The cliff collapsed instantly. Hundreds of tons of boulders tumbled into the sea, kicking up monstrous waves!
Immediately after, the giant plunged its hands into the ground and violently hoisted a massive rock slab over fifty meters in diameter. Acting like a shield, it stood before him, so thick that even light struggled to penetrate it!
"Defense! Attack! Reconnaissance! All integrated into one!!!"
Sentomaru's voice shook the island like war drums, accompanied by his signature hearty laughter: "BWAHAHAHA!! From now on, the Science Unit's base... will be an impenetrable fortress!"
Roy looked up at this "Stone God Soldier," satisfaction flashing in his eyes:
"Not bad. To achieve this scale right after eating it, the fruit's limits are indeed tied to the user's own strength..."
"If fully developed and awakened..."
"You will be able to directly assimilate the entire island, or even alter the terrain of the continent."
Sentomaru smashed his fists against his chest, emitting a deafening echo: "When that time comes—"
"This great one will be the God of the Island!!!"
His voice echoed into the sky above the deserted island, startling even the seagulls into taking flight and scattering.
As Sentomaru completed his stunning display of the Stone-Stone Fruit, the enthusiasm of the crowd didn't wane; instead, it was pushed to its absolute peak.
The breathing of every Marine soldier in the stands grew ragged. All eyes converged on the center of the podium, waiting for the grand prize to be revealed.
Roy turned slowly to face Gion, who stood quietly on the stage. His voice carried an invisible pressure, seemingly capable of shaking souls:
"Gion, the reward for First Place—"
"Choose one of three Logia Fruits!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The venue fell dead silent, followed by an unprecedented wave of gasps that made the island tremble slightly.
"Three... Logia Fruits?!!"
"Didn't he say there were only two earlier?! Where did Vice Admiral Roy even get them all?!!"
"This... this is a chance to directly birth a future Admiral!"
The high-ranking officers at the judges' table also experienced drastic changes in expression—
Sengoku's body jolted, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints. Zephyr's fists clenched silently. Garp's smile vanished entirely, his face turning solemn;
Roy ignored the shock of the outside world. With a wave of his hand, three fruits exuding terrifying auras slowly floated into the air, radiating different elemental fluctuations:
The First Fruit — The Numa Numa no Mi (Swamp-Swamp Fruit)
Dark brown all over, its surface rippled slowly like mud, resembling a bottomless abyss.
Roy's voice was steady:
"Ability: Turns the body into a bottomless swamp capable of swallowing any object it touches, with an infinite storage capacity.
Can alter the surrounding environment, turning large areas into a deadly mire."
"Drawback: Cannot fly."
The Second Fruit — The Yuki Yuki no Mi (Snow-Snow Fruit)
The crystalline white skin exuded an icy chill. The surrounding air instantly condensed into snowflakes that drifted down lightly.
Roy continued:
"Ability: Elementalizes into snow, controls blizzards and ice-fog domains, immune to non-Haki attacks, and can traverse freely through snowy environments."
"Although it is a lower-tier form of the Logia 'Ice-Ice Fruit,' it possesses boundless potential. Developed to its limit, it could even rival Kuzan himself."
As this sentence fell, the gaze of the entire venue inevitably shifted to Kuzan. Even the Admiral of Ice himself rarely showed such a grave expression.
The Third Fruit — The Gasu Gasu no Mi (Gas-Gas Fruit)
Within the semi-transparent light green skin, poisonous fog and flames seemed to churn, exuding a dangerous aura.
Roy's gaze focused:
"Ability: Elementalizes into gas. Can release deadly poison gas, extract oxygen to asphyxiate enemies;
Can also ignite gas to cause explosions, purify the atmosphere to suppress enemies, and even grant flight."
"It possesses both lethal destructive power and immense strategic value, packed with limitless potential!"
At this point, Roy's gaze swept slowly across the venue, finally resting on Gion. His voice was deafening, vibrating across the deserted island:
"Choose!"
The entire venue plunged into an oppressive silence. Every Marine held their breath, feeling as if the ocean waves of the New World might come crashing down on them the very next second.
