The sudden disappearance of an island once again stirred up waves.
This time, it wasn't a deserted island like before, but a small town directly under the World Government's jurisdiction. Naturally, it couldn't be hidden from anyone. As news birds spread the message worldwide, it caused no small amount of panic!
"That bastard, to act so recklessly!"
The Gorosei, enraged, immediately issued strong warnings, ordering the CP series of intelligence agencies to launch a thorough investigation, making sure to root out the "Golden Lion" who was causing trouble in the dark.
The schemer, who had been silent for so many years, suddenly emerged. Coupled with their past understanding of this flying pirate, it always gave the Gorosei an ominous premonition!
But these were all meaningless to Iji, who had temporarily suppressed his injuries.
In the windless zone of the New World's North Sea, on the ferocious beast island named "Kamael."
In the center of the island, there was a lake.
"Splash, splash, splash..." The clear lake water rippled, and Iji was completely submerged in it.
His blood-red long hair was directly soaked by the water. His entire body was covered in a strange darkness, only his head remained uncovered by the materialized dark armor.
This was clearly the application of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Once a Devil Fruit user's body part is excessively submerged in water, they immediately lose their strength.
But if he only exposed his head, even if he was submerged in lake or sea water, it would only have a minor effect, and he wouldn't directly lose strength and sink to the bottom.
"It's been a long time since I directly bathed in the sea or lake since I obtained the Fruit ability..." Iji, with his dark-covered blood-red long hair, was like a living fish, moving swiftly and effortlessly.
He used to train by frequently utilizing Germa's oxygen equipment to directly dive into the deep sea, relying on that terrifying water pressure to cultivate. So, his affinity for water would naturally not be bad.
"As a Devil Fruit user, he can actually swim in water. This is just cheating!"
Standing on the edge of the lake, "Fujitora" (Issho), whose body was bound with bandages, spoke with some emotion.
The second day after possessing this body, Law directly used the power of his Op-Op Fruit to replace his eyes with a new pair. Two days ago, he had just removed the gauze and was able to see light again.
These past few days, besides recovering from his injuries, he had also been continuously trying to master this body's Devil Fruit ability and asking Iji for advice on difficulties regarding Armament Haki.
Issho didn't possess Conqueror's Haki. Observation Haki was, after all, related to the "mind." He naturally couldn't directly inherit the exaggerated Observation Haki of his opponent (Blackbeard). However, the instincts ingrained in this body still greatly boosted his originally not-so-strong Observation Haki.
But within that powerful physical body, there was already strong Armament Haki honed over years. As long as he could skillfully use it and "guide" it out, he would soon possess high-intensity Armament Haki.
Not to mention, this body's Devil Fruit ability had absolutely developed to the "awakening" level. He was equivalent to standing at a height that many people could never reach in their entire lives; he just couldn't fully master it yet and needed time to grasp it.
"Splash..."
Water splashed everywhere.
A black figure directly burst out of the lake.
"Don't be envious, it's not truly 'invincible to water.' It's just relying on the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to form dense 'armor' to temporarily isolate the water."
Wiping the water droplets from his blood-red long hair, Iji's pitch-black armor, covering his body, directly transformed into shimmering, strange black smoke and dissolved back into his body.
The materialization of darkness was already showing initial success. Although he was not very satisfied with its solidity, if he was given more time, he could even directly simulate attack methods similar to the Golden Lion's "Lion's Might: Earth Scroll."
Moreover, recently, as his control over gravitational pull continuously strengthened, he had gained some new ideas.
If he could truly combine the two fully, it would definitely become a nightmare for power users, breaking free from the current awkward predicament where the Dark-Dark Fruit had to directly touch a power user's body to nullify their ability. This would truly showcase the terrifying and perilous nature of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"But even so, it's still enough to make people envious!"
Law walked over with a towel. He was mainly staying here for gravity training.
This kind of training method, which yielded twice the results with half the effort, although absolutely more brutal and difficult than imagined, he would naturally not dare to even try it.
Compared to others, with his vengeful heart, he was more eager to become stronger.
"The power of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, has it been mastered?"
Taking the towel handed to him by the other party, Iji asked directly.
"Time is too short, I've only barely grasped basic gravity manipulation."
Holding one of the Twenty-One Great Swords, the famous "Shusui," Fujitora chuckled.
Even just grasping basic gravity manipulation, he had already deeply felt the terrifying and powerful nature of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit.
"Show me!"
Pointing to the forest ahead, Iji sat on a large stone, with a hint of anticipation.
He didn't ask the other party to directly make warships fly so exaggeratedly in a short time, but directly applying gravity within a specific range was something he had to master as soon as possible.
After all, the reason he initially put down his cultivation and directly sought out Issho was to borrow that terrifying gravity to aid in his body training.
"Hmph!"
A sharp black blade flashed out of its sheath like lightning.
Fujitora's Observation Haki directly locked onto the forest a dozen meters ahead, and he forcefully thrust his blade into the ground.
"Gravity Field!"
No sooner had his voice fallen.
"Thump..."
As if the field had solidified, the ground within a radius of several meters was forcefully pressed down and caved in.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Terrifying gravity erupted, and the ground couldn't resist. It completely shattered!
"Huh?"
Iji's gaze hardened. Wasn't this Issho's ability?
However, considering that the current Fujitora had directly inherited the original owner's Devil Fruit development, being able to use this level of power was clearly not surprising.
After all, Fujitora was currently only injured and not yet healed, and he wasn't without stamina to use his Devil Fruit ability.
"Rumble!"
The earth roared incessantly, and dust flew!
It directly collapsed and shattered, revealing a circular giant pit that seemed bottomless, making one feel a little dizzy!
"This move should be called 'Hell Trip'..."
Iji couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying with a smile, mixed with excitement and anticipation, "This level is currently enough. It seems your comprehension ability is a bit better than I expected. I can directly inform Neji and the others to come for gravity training now!"
...Earth...
