The Zoan type of Devil Fruit.
Whether they are ancient species or mythical beasts, the first impression they leave on the world is their powerful physique, tenacious vitality, and the ability to recover through countless sit-ups.
Unless there is a significant difference in strength, it is usually difficult for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user to be killed instantly in battle.
even.
Even taking them down instantly is difficult.
Unless their necks are severed or their brains are pierced, Zoan-type Devil Fruit users can survive by relying on their strong physique, tenacious vitality, and the ability to regenerate health through sit-ups.
Not to mention mythical beasts.
However.
Despite facing three opponents, one of whom was Ochoku, one of the Four Emperors, and having consumed the Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Pegasus, Raizen Kael was still instantly killed by Rosen with a single strike.
It wasn't because his throat and cervical vertebrae were pierced and severed by the Kamishini no Yari, but because his entire neck was completely dissolved by the Kamishini no Yari's deadly poison.
His body and head were separated.
Even if Raizen Kael had only eaten a Mythical Zoan-type Pegasus Devil Fruit, and even if he had mastered the awakening of a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he would still die on the spot.
even.
If such injuries were to continue to transfer to Nika Form Luffy, and with his head severed from his body, Nika Form Luffy would only be able to die on the spot and immediately go to see Joy Boy.
"Solve the second one."
Rosen glanced at the decapitated Raizen Kael, then his gaze fell on Selra Vayne, who had also been disemboweled by the Kamishini no Yari.
"Take care of it, huh?"
After a flash of red light in Rosen's eyes, he seemed to have seen something, and his voice paused slightly.
at the same time.
Selra Vayne, whose chest was pierced by the Kamishini no Yari, was now experiencing a wound that, like the previous one, was spreading in all directions, dissolving everything in its path—flesh, bones, organs, and skin.
However, as the second-in-command of the Ochoku Pirates, his Armament Haki was a notch stronger than Raizen Kael's, so when he used Armament Haki to resist the dissolving poison of the Kamishini no Yari, the effect was much better than Raizen Kael's.
At least, the body is dissolved much more slowly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they can at least prolong their lives a little longer.
Instead of dying instantly like Raizen Kael.
"It's useless!"
"Even if you use Armament Haki to resist the sword's poison, it only slows down the dissolution process."
"Only a powerhouse at the level of the Four Emperors possesses an aura strong enough to resist the deadly poison of the Kamishini no Yari."
Selra Vayne watched as the knife wound on his chest continued to expand. Even when he used Armament Haki to resist it, he could only slow down the rate at which the Kamishini no Yari's poison dissolved his body. He could not completely resist the Kamishini no Yari's poison dissolving effect like Ochoku did, relying on his powerful Armament Haki.
It can be said that Ochoku suffered because he did not know the capabilities of the Kamishini no Yari.
He was the first to be shot and the first to face the cell-dissolving poison, missing the best opportunity to use Armament Haki to resist the poison.
otherwise.
If he were to switch places with either Raizen Kael or Selra Vayne, and knew the abilities of the Kamishini no Yari beforehand, even if his body were pierced or his neck was pierced, he could use Armament Haki to resist the dissolving effect of the poison in time.
At most, it would have resulted in a small hole in the body, rather than the current situation where part of the heart and lungs have been dissolved, leading to an inevitable death.
"Dying in the exact same way?"
"He plunged the knife into Raizen Kael's neck, but when facing Selra Vayne, he chose to stab him in the same spot as me."
"Rosen! You cut a hole in Selra Vayne's chest so that he would end up like me, didn't you?"
Ochoku watched as the knife wound on Selra Vayne's chest continued to expand, almost reaching his heart and lungs. Once the heart was dissolved, even just a part of it, Selra Vayne would inevitably suffer the same fate as him.
even.
Because of the difference in Haki and physical constitution, Selra Vayne could not possibly be like him, whose heart and lungs were partially dissolved and who is still alive and kicking.
Thinking about this...
A fierce glint flashed in Ochoku's eyes, and then he made a startling move.
Clang
The black blade, hardened by Armament Haki, transformed into a razor-sharp blade that pierced directly into Selra Vayne's chest.
Sizzle
With a flick of his wrist, the black knife embedded in Selra Vayne's chest drew a circle, a circle that completely enveloped the dissolving and expanding wound.
A ring of skin, bone, and flesh was ripped off Selra Vayne's chest.
"Quickly! Use your Haki to resist again."
Having been stabbed so close to his heart, Selra Vayne's face turned ashen, but he knew that Ochoku wasn't kicking him while he was down, but rather trying to save him.
So he endured the excruciating pain, contracting his flesh to stop the bleeding while using Armament Haki to suppress the remaining poison from the Kamishini no Yari within his body.
It seemed that Ochoku's powerful and Haki strike had suppressed most of the Kamishini no Yari's deadly poison in Selra Vayne's chest, severing flesh, bones, and skin along with it.
As the flesh and tissue are removed, most of the deadly toxin is also cut off.
The remaining potent poison is still enough to kill any pirate below the rank of Yonko commander instantly.
However, for the Imperial Vice-President, his powerful aura was enough to resist the dissolution of his body by the remaining poison.
"it works."
"Suppressed."
As Selra Vayne watched the hole in his chest continue to expand and felt that his body tissues were no longer being dissolved by the poison, a look of relief appeared on his pale face.
They survived.
Although he paid a terrible price, compared to the disastrous outcome of being beheaded, his fate was undoubtedly much better thanks to Ochoku's tireless efforts to save him.
Although a large hole was ripped in his chest, at least his spine was not damaged, and his heart and lungs were not dissolved.
at this time.
If Selra Vayne can safely leave Hachinosu and find a highly skilled hospital, he can fully recover thanks to his strong physique.
"Is it alright?"
Ochoku went to great lengths to save Selra Vayne, firstly because Selra Vayne was his only trusted deputy, and secondly because two of the three leaders had already fallen.
If Selra Vayne also died from the poison dissolving in the Kamishini no Yari, then he wouldn't be able to bury Rosen on Hachinosu, let alone bite off a piece of Rosen's thigh before he died.
"good!"
Selra Vayne knew that if he could escape successfully, there was definitely a chance of survival, but he never mentioned leaving.
Obviously.
He was already prepared to die and planned to fight to the death with Ochoku on Hachinosu.
"As expected of one of the Four Emperors."
"They actually came up with this method to resist the deadly poison of the Kamishini no Yari."
"But are you sure you really want to continue?"
At this moment.
Rosen's voice reached Ochoku and Selra Vayne's ears:
"Given your injuries, although severe, if you leave Hachinosu immediately, there is a possibility that you may survive."
As soon as he said this,
Ochoku's face turned cold, while Selra Vayne's eyes flickered, but he remained outwardly calm.
What are you trying to say?
"It's gotten to the point where it's either you die or I live."
"I don't think you'd be generous enough to just let me leave Hachinosu."
Selra Vayne said coldly.
"why not?"
Rosen raised the Hyōrinmaru in his left hand and slashed it at the empty space around him.
Sizzle
Where the blade sliced through, a black line appeared in the atmosphere, then expanded upwards and downwards, forming a Garganta that tore through the sky.
"What I want is Ochoku's life."
"And he, having been struck by my Kamishini no Yari and missed the best opportunity to save him, was already doomed to die."
"If you leave now, I can give you a chance to escape."
Rosen looked at Selra Vayne, and every word he uttered was like a devil's murmur falling into Selra Vayne's ears, causing his heart to pound uncontrollably.
