"Silent Double Stack!" Rodin pressed his palm down, superimposing a second layer of silent space on the original one. The vibrations dissipated quickly, reaching a tolerable level.
'Silencing even vibrating? Has Lord Rodin developed it to this extent?' Dove was slightly taken aback. She had once acquired a silence-silence fruit and given it to a subordinate. Despite developing it for over a decade, it could only cover a single town. It was useful for assassinations but limited. Rodin, however, could now envelop an entire island. The difference was like night and day.
Rodin exhaled. Two layers were his limit. This level was no longer just about muting sound; it was a new level, silencing vibrations themselves. He had a feeling that every superimposed layer would bring new changes. There was much more to do.
"Don't hurt our king!" Just then, the Sea Kings poked their flat heads over, their eyeballs as large as basketball courts, aimed directly at Crocodile.
"This king can't be considered a new king, it can be her!" Rodin frowned slightly, sensing the thought through his Mind Web. Were these giant Sea Kings aware of something?
The Sea Kings grew anxious. One of them stretched out a giant tentacle, blasting through the air toward Crocodile.
"I won't allow any mistakes during the complete integration," Rodin said, a flash of lightning in his eye. He was curious to see how powerful the summoned abilities of an Ancient Weapon could be.
On the flying boat, Mihoko put her right hand on the long sword on her back and leaped out.
"Whoosh!" A white crescent dispelled the surrounding darkness, cutting a long gash into the nearly one-kilometer-long tentacle. The cut was huge but seemed small compared to the tentacle. Even so, it shocked the residents of Fish-Man Island. They had a swordsman on their island, but his slashes were nothing compared to this. It was like comparing a small fish to a sea king.
"This is…"
"The so-called strongest female swordsman of the Rodin Pirates, Mihoko!"
"Even if she's the strongest, she can't defeat it with that size."
"Yes, the difference in size is a thousand times! She can't win this fight. Is she really bringing us to destruction?" Their lips flapped back and forth, even though no sound was coming out.
"Zzz-la-la!" The first slash created a small hole, but that was it. The residents felt their fears were confirmed. However, after Mihoko swung her saber a second time, both slashes merged into one and entered the tentacle. With no sound, the front end of the tentacle quickly turned into pieces of flesh and scattered in the air.
"RAAAAWWWR!!!" The tentacle type Sea King let out a cry of pain and retracted its tentacle.
"Did… did she do it?"
"How is this possible? That tentacle was a thousand miles long!"
The residents rubbed their eyes, their bodies trembling.
The lightning around Rodin dissipated, and he took back the quiet space. The fusion was complete! The pupils of the five Sea Kings shrank, and they withdrew their thoughts of attacking. Everything calmed down. Shirahoshi's body went limp and fell to the ground, while Crocodile smiled.
In the sea, the five Super Sea Kings lowered their heads.
"You will be our king from now on!"
"Guhahaha, what a wonderful taste!" Crocodile hugged her chest and laughed heartily. "Ancient Weapon, it will be mine from now on!" Her tail flicked, and she jumped to Rodin's side, hugging him.
"And you… are mine, too." An arrogant presence emanated from Crocodile. She had always been suppressed by women in the crew and had never been able to be with Rodin. Now, her long-suppressed desires were finally free. The inflated strength made her extremely confident. She hugged him tightly, pursing her lips.
"Sooner or later, you will be the husband of Pirate King." By Pirate King, she meant herself. "From now on, you must also obey me." Crocodile lowered her eyebrows slightly, looking at Dove and Akainu.
Dove, with a single sentence, sent her back to reality.
"Did your brain get kicked by a donkey?" Doflamingo tilted her head. "How dare you take advantage of the captain? I'm so tired of work! Hee hee hee." She sent out five thin threads.
"Take a good look at my strength." Crocodile gently put Rodin in a safe place.
Rodin watched Crocodile go, not knowing what to say. The surrounding water turned into giant pythons, accompanying Crocodile as she descended toward Dove.
"As a powerful person, I can easily solve it!"
"Then try," Dove snorted coldly and leaped out of the python's attack range. But the pythons seemed to have a mind of their own, chasing after her.
"Five-Color Strings!" Dove grabbed and tore the pythons apart, but they reassembled themselves the next second.
Crocodile appeared behind her, her body flashing with armament haki. She clenched her fist and punched her hard in the back.
"Boom!" Dove turned and took the hit easily, then blasted her left hand toward Crocodile's abdomen.
Fish scales quickly appeared on Crocodile's body, giving her a confident look. But a muffled sound rang out, and a blue shadow flew down, smashing a deep pit several meters long.
Dove landed gracefully, her pink coat fluttering. She squatted down and asked, "So, you told the captain… whose husband should he be?"
From the pit, Crocodile laughed arrogantly. "Don't be complacent, clown. Did you forget something?"
"Sea Kings!" she yelled. The five Sea Kings, who had just gotten to the bottom of the sea and were trying to sneak away, raised their heads again.
"Let them go back," Rodin said, pinching his eyebrows. This guy needed to be returned to her original body immediately. There were so many Sea Kings in the world. If they were not properly controlled and were all gathered together, it would be terrifying.
"Go back," Crocodile said, unable to control herself.
The five giant Sea Kings looked at each other and then went down again. Crocodile also jumped up, a look of unwillingness on her face. Dove's punch had left her unharmed.
"You can try to see if you can summon it again," Rodin reminded her.
"Why not?" Crocodile frowned. But no matter how she yelled, none of the Sea Kings responded to her. "What the hell is going on?"
"The ability has just awakened, how can you master it so easily?" Rodin shook his head. He figured there were some requirements for the summoner.
He glanced at Shirahoshi, who had just woken up, and Neptune, whose face was filled with shock. "It won't be long until you think we will destroy Fish-Man Island," Rodin said half-jokingly, patting Crocodile on the shoulder. "You should start by practicing summoning ordinary little fish."
"Are you… leaving?" Neptune couldn't believe it. They had come all this way, just for this? But this was a huge thing! The Poseidon, which had appeared once every several hundred years, had been deprived of its power. No one would believe it. Perhaps this was a good thing for Fish-Man Island? Since nothing was done to them, he could only hope that the other party would be benevolent. "I hope you can treat this ability well."
"I will," Rodin smiled knowingly. This trip to Fish-Man Island was an unexpected surprise.
