The Paramecia-type Mato Mato no Mi is one of the top-tier abilities among Paramecia, possessing an extremely difficult-to-deal-with ability and strategic deterrence.
A user who eats the Paramecia-type Mato Mato no Mi only needs to touch a person's body to lock onto them as a target.
Anyone marked by the Mato Mato no Mi user becomes a special target. No matter how far the distance between them, anything thrown by the user will automatically track and 100% hit this target.
To avoid being hit by a projectile fired by the Mato Mato no Mi user, one can only shoot it down mid-flight or hide in a shelter that the projectile cannot penetrate.
Otherwise, if there is even a single crack, the automatically tracking projectile will pass through that crack and 100% hit the locked target.
This ability is a causality ability!
Once thrown, it will 100% hit.
What's even more disgusting is that the consumption of this ability is not determined by distance, but by the size and weight of the object thrown.
If the Mato Mato no Mi user throws a small knife, and the user is in the East Blue while the target is in the West Blue, the knife will automatically fly from the East Blue to the West Blue. The energy required is only the stamina to throw a small knife.
Similarly, if the Mato Mato no Mi user can throw a ship or an island, even if the target is extremely far away, the ship or island will fly towards the target at the same speed.
If the target cannot shoot down these objects, is not hiding in a shelter that can withstand them, and lacks defensive capabilities, then the person marked by the Mato Mato noM no Mi user is basically guaranteed to die.
The terror and inescapability of the Mato Mato no Mi ability.
Such a terrifying and inescapable ability naturally has very serious defects.
The Mato Mato no Mi has two defects in total.
The first is that one must touch the target to mark them.
The second is that the number of marks is limited. The user can mark as many targets as they have hands.
If they wash their hands or accidentally touch another person, the mark on that hand will be washed away or replaced.
To avoid losing the mark, they not only cannot wash their hands, but must also wear gloves to protect the mark.
Although it has such severe defects, it still doesn't prevent the Mato Mato no Mi from being a top-tier Paramecia fruit, possessing terrifying strategic deterrence.
Yami wants to seize this Devil Fruit for two reasons as well.
One, after obtaining the Mato Mato no Mi, Yami's strategic deterrence as a "human-form Ancient Weapon" will be taken a step further.
Possessing the Giro Giro no Mi, the Doa Doa no Mi, and teleportation abilities, it's simply too easy for Yami to find and mark a person.
Once a target is marked, Yami, who possesses the Paramecia-type Fuwa Fuwa no Mi and Paramecia-type Momo Momo no Mi abilities, will become the most terrifying sniper in the world.
No matter if they flee to the ends of the earth, Yami just needs to control a floating island and give it a gentle toss, and that island will shoot out like a bullet, automatically tracking the target Yami has locked onto.
Not only that, Yami can use the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi to control countless tons of seawater, lifting it into the sky to form a super-massive water sphere, and then throw that water sphere, letting the countless tons of seawater automatically track the target.
If his stamina is sufficient, after throwing these things, Yami can use the Momo Momo no Mi to multiply their volume and flight speed.
Just thinking about such a scene is chilling.
Just as the Momo Momo no Mi is very compatible with the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, the Mato Mato no Mi is also very compatible with the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi and the Momo Momo no Mi.
The second reason is that the Mato Mato no Mi can perfect Yami's King's Punch, allowing this martial arts ultimate technique to become Yami's true trump card.
The King's Punch is strong, and when unleashed by a monster like Yami, it is even stronger.
Even Kaido must use Advanced Haki to defend against Yami's King's Punch.
But though it's strong, the King's Punch's consumption is not small, and the shockwave it fires is a transparent white pillar of light with a set diameter.
If the enemy's perception is strong and their speed is astonishing, Yami's King's Punch is easily dodged.
In that case, Yami would have wasted his bodily energy for nothing.
A move that cannot hit the enemy, no matter how powerful, cannot be called a trump card at all.
As long as Yami seizes the Mato Mato no Mi, his King's Punch will no longer have to fear missing.
As a martial arts expert, leaving a mark on an enemy's body is an extremely easy matter.
After marking the enemy, Yami can unleash the King's Punch with all his strength, without any reservations.
No matter how the enemy dodges, the transparent white pillar of light formed by the King's Punch will automatically track them.
If they don't want to be overwhelmed by the shockwave, they must resist it.
That is to say, as long as Yami obtains the Mato Mato no Mi ability, he can force the enemy into a head-on confrontation. Whoever runs out of stamina and Haki first will be defeated or die!
Therefore, Yami is determined to get the Mato Mato no Mi.
The current user of the Mato Mato no Mi is a fish-man named Vander Decken IX. When Shirahoshi was six years old, he discovered she was the [Sea King Poseidon] her ancestors had been searching for. After secretly touching Shirahoshi to leave a mark, he began a long period of harassment and intimidation, forcing Shirahoshi to hide inside the Hard-Shell Tower.
All these years, the Ryugu Kingdom has spent an unknown amount of manpower and resources searching for Vander Decken IX.
Unfortunately, Vander Decken IX is too cunning. Knowing full well that the Ryugu Kingdom would hunt him down, he hid directly in the dark deep sea.
Even Jinbe, a Shichibukai-level powerhouse, cannot find Vander Decken IX in the dark deep sea.
But Yami is an exception.
Vander Decken IX, hiding in the deep sea, is actually also afraid of the dark; after all, he is a Devil Fruit user.
So, in his other hand, he always carries an oil lamp.
This oil lamp is extremely conspicuous in the eyes of Yami, who possesses Clairvoyance and X-Ray Vision.
Vander Decken IX is not alone; he has a subordinate with an extremely large body.
After spending just over a day, Yami saw a firefly-like speck of light in a certain area of the deep sea.
Zooming in and using his X-Ray Vision, Yami instantly saw a fish-man, his body wrapped in a bubble, hiding in a room on a ghost ship, tirelessly writing love letters.
This fish-man was the user of the Paramecia-type Mato Mato no Mi, Vander Decken IX.
