Winter gives way to summer, and time flows by quietly.
In that constantly strengthening, terrifying gravity, countless physical collapses, and even internal organ damage, during the maddening training that makes one's scalp tingle, Iyaji himself was constantly transforming!
Day after day, without rest!
In the blink of an eye, he had already been cultivating for over a year in the Calm Belt!
Because of that somewhat crazy, masochistic training and the excessive hunting of creatures on the island, the ecosystem of Kamariya Beast Island lost its balance, and 90% of the ferocious beasts on the island were drastically reduced.
As early as half a year ago, the group had no choice but to relocate from the nearly extinct Kamariya Beast Island to "Gargle Beast Island," which was relatively far from Kamariya Beast Island.
Near Gargle Beast Island, there was an uninhabited barren island.
This island, named Garp's Fist, had poor, barren soil. Everywhere there were incredibly solid rock walls, utterly unsuitable for plant growth.
At this moment.
On this island.
An unimaginable battle was taking place.
"Roar..."
The astonishing commotion was deafening.
Terrifying shockwaves swept forth, destroying and blowing away all obstacles in front of them.
The earth and shattered rocks were all torn open, leaving behind an indented track over a hundred meters wide, a shocking sight.
"Swish, swish..."
Terrifying darkness instantly enveloped the earth.
It was clearly daytime, yet that darkness, filled with evil aura, like a deep abyss from hell, gave people the illusion that the sky was losing its light, and thus falling into endless darkness.
A crimson figure stood majestically on the island, his face cold.
His muscular body, like a coiled dragon, was not exaggerated, but clearly defined, filled with unimaginable explosive power. Strange black smoke continuously seeped from his body, making one's scalp tingle.
"Darkness Descends!!!"
Endless darkness surged and rolled, instantly soaring into the sky!
"Swish—"
A black wave, almost engulfing half the island and dozens to hundreds of meters high, surged wave after wave, directly charging forward, completely capable of sweeping away a town with its immense impact!
"Boom!!!"
An indescribable roar, deafening!
The entire island seemed to be split in two at this moment. Fiery white light and darkness continuously clashed, filling the scene with visual impact, leaving people speechless with shock!
"Whoosh whoosh~~~"
"Crackle crackle~~~"
Intense and unparalleled gales of wind continuously ripped apart.
Terrifying aftershocks caused the sea surface to continuously churn, kicking up wave after wave of enormous swells, sweeping towards the depths of the sea.
The terrifying darkness didn't last long, but continued to spread, forcefully engulfing the entire island with its immense impact wave.
"Rumble..."
The darkness continuously rolled and compressed.
In an instant, it formed into a colossal creature over a hundred meters tall!
It was entirely black, with a sinister lion's head, branched deer antlers, and mighty tiger paws. Its mottled scales were distinct, and it was clearly a mythical Kirin!
"Roar—"
The enormous beast stood there, as if having walked out of an endless abyss. When it roared up at the sky, it was filled with evil and ferocity, and its brutal, unparalleled aura was simply chilling.
The huge, beast-like Kirin opened its pitch-black maw, its sharp fangs incomparably sinister, and tore at Edward Weevil, who was suspended in mid-air by his technological boots!
"Get lost!!!"
Edward Weevil's face turned fierce, and he agilely dodged.
"Whiz~~~"
A white light mass condensed and then violently shot upwards.
"Boom!!!"
A huge shockwave collided with that sinister Kirin, erupting in a dazzling light.
Fierce air currents wildly surged, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
"Swish swish swish..."
Before Weevil could even rejoice, another colossal figure, roaring from the endless darkness, directly swallowed him whole...
"Rumble..."
Heads of black Kirin directly merged together. The terrifying darkness, like the most solid rock, continuously compressed and rolled, crushing Weevil, who was completely submerged inside!
"It hurts so much!!!"
Weevil, covered in Haki, still cried out in pain as he was continuously crushed.
He was about to exert all his strength to launch a shockwave, but his face suddenly changed drastically.
"How could this happen? I can't use my shockwave..."
His entire being showed a look of disbelief. He actually couldn't activate his ability. Did that guy, who was still hundreds of meters away, actually touch me?
"Roar~~~"
There was simply no time for him to think too much. The terrifying darkness completely submerged Weevil, crushing him wildly and mercilessly.
"Looks like the effect is alright!"
Iyaji, with his arms crossed and a cold expression, showed no intention of stopping.
If he hadn't been cultivating and developing his abilities for so long, he would have long wanted to just kill that disobedient Edward Weevil.
Over this past year, with further control over the power of Dark Gravity, he could not only directly extract the abilities of Devil Fruit users, but even if a Devil Fruit user was simply touched by that strange dark matter, they would immediately become unable to use their Devil Fruit abilities.
The true sinister aspect of the Dark-Dark Fruit has only now been perfectly displayed. Ability users simply have no footing!
If it were his current self, even against Whitebeard in his peak condition, he would be absolutely confident that he wouldn't lose to him.
This was the terrifying aspect of a top-tier Devil Fruit!
Once obtained by someone with enough talent, if they put in enough effort, they would reach a higher level in the shortest possible time, gaining a huge boost that most people, even with decades of effort, could never possess!
Even reaching a height that most people could never reach in their lifetime!
Over this past year, Iyaji had put in absolutely no less sweat than anyone else!
Every day, the intensity of his demon-like training was abnormal. It was simply training himself to death. If it weren't for his Mythical Beast: Vampire Ghost form ability, his entire body would have already been completely crippled.
But the immense effort finally yielded a transformative reward!
"Roar!!"
"Ah—"
Edward Weevil, covered in Haki, but still bleeding profusely, roared. He ripped open the restless darkness!
His entire being, relying on his technological boots, was about to launch himself into mid-air.
"It's useless. You can only rely on Germa's technological boots for flight, and there's a limit to your flexibility..." Iyaji chuckled coldly. His right hand, covered in black smoke, aimed at Edward Weevil and suddenly lifted.
"Whoosh—"
Endless darkness directly transformed into a giant wave, instantly surging towards Edward Weevil in mid-air!
"Damn bastard!!!"
Edward Weevil raged.
Sharp, fragmented blades condensed into a light barrier, spinning out 360 degrees!
"Rumble..."
The pursuing darkness was directly swept away.
"Swish!"
But before he could think more, a blood-red light appeared on his forehead.
"Huh?"
What greeted him was a deep, dark gaze like an ancient ferocious beast's. Weevil couldn't help but shudder in his heart, his movements stiffening.
"Thud!!!"
The air vibrated and compressed!
Accompanied by a terrifying punch, a dark, heavy fist directly slammed into that somewhat bloody, chubby face...
