When Wapol saw that the person had indeed obediently vanished, he couldn't help but burst into joyous laughter, "What Akatsuki Organization? Didn't he run away when he heard my name?" Wapol loudly proclaimed to his subordinates.
Loff, seeing the vanished person, was also very puzzled as to why he had left, but Loff, in terms of intelligence, was much stronger than Wapol. He knew things weren't that simple and didn't respond to Wapol's words.
Cinderella, on the other hand, looked at her husband with an embarrassed expression, both relieved by his might and ashamed of her own timidity.
After Pain heard Reno's report, he only said one simple sentence, "Practice with him, bring him back severely injured."
Reno, having received the order, reappeared before Wapol and the others, looking at Wapol with the eyes of a dead man.
"Kid, what do you mean by this? Looking at this king with such eyes, do you want to die?" Wapol, enraged by Reno's gaze, asked in a cold tone.
There was no expected answer. Reno rarely bothered with the idiot in front of him. After drawing a Sharp Weapon, he instantly vanished, heading straight for Wapol.
Reno also wanted to use Wapol to test his own strength. From the start, he used his first move, "Shimmering Light," which combined with his own abilities.
The principle of Reno's move was simple: using wrist strength and the Flash-Flash Fruit ability to give the Sharp Weapon in his hand both short-distance Flash-Flash Fruit ability and powerful attack power.
Reno's Sharp Weapon would appear at any part of the enemy's body according to Reno's will, making it impossible for the enemy to defend. Because Reno controlled the Sharp Weapon's Flash-Flash Fruit ability at an extremely fast frequency, it was as if many bright lights constantly flickered around the enemy's body, so Reno named it Shimmering Light.
Although Wapol was very idiotic, he still had battle instincts. Seeing Reno disappear, he quickly adopted a defensive stance.
However, Reno's attacks were elusive. Before Wapol could even figure out what was happening, his clothes were already in tatters, and blood was splattering everywhere.
"Ah... so painful, so painful..." Wapol was originally thick-skinned, but he couldn't withstand Reno's dense and continuous attacks. While screaming in agony, Wapol quickly transformed into the iron block he had eaten before, allowing his body to withstand the attacks.
After more than a dozen clangs, Reno flashed back to his original position. Reno knew that his current attack power was not enough to shatter steel, which was his current weakness. Coupled with the fact that the weapon in his hand was not a divine Sharp Weapon, he gave up on continuing the attack.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Wapol quickly transformed into a large cannon and blasted Reno, but Reno had already vanished. All the cannon fire hit the small minions on the ship, and the deck was also blown to smithereens by Wapol.
At this moment, Reno was watching the foolishly blasting Wapol from the crow's nest, contemplating how to defeat this monster that could transform, and also thinking about how to craft two suitable weapons using the active ingredients of Sea Stone later.
Wapol's indiscriminate bombing, however, caused disaster for his subordinates and the ship. Loff and Cinderella had long since hidden to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing that he hadn't hit the enemy, Wapol transformed back into his human form. As soon as he transformed back, he was cut all over by Reno's torrential attacks, screaming and quickly transforming back into an iron block, not daring to move again.
Reno calculated that he could currently make 47 cuts per second using his ability, but due to the lack of a suitable weapon and his own strength, his attack power was temporarily not strong.
To enhance his own strength, Reno could only rely on arm strength Cultivate and Haki reinforcement, but Reno's Armament Haki was in a newly Awakened state and had not been used in actual combat, so his proficiency was still insufficient.
Reno looked at Wapol, who had once again turned into an iron turtle not daring to revert to human form, and thought with a vexed expression, "This is my first official battle? How did I encounter such an oddball? He's too weak! Forget it, it's not worth fighting, the opponent is just a waste."
Thinking this, Reno no longer deliberated. He flashed in front of Wapol, looked at Wapol who dared not transform back, gave him a meaningful glance, reached out and grabbed Wapol, and together they vanished.
Cinderella looked at her vanished husband, screaming in panic, while Loff was full of worry, contemplating his future.
On Floating Island, Reno appeared before Pain, bringing Wapol, who had turned into an iron block. Wapol, with his square face in iron block form, surveyed the surroundings.
Looking at the people in similar clothes surrounding him, Wapol no longer dared to pretend. He finally remembered what Loff had told him: these people were the Akatsuki Organization.
Wapol dared not speak, nor did he dare to transform back, unsure of what fate awaited him.
Pain and the others observed the square monster in front of them. Pain spoke first, "Is this Wapol? Why is he so ugly?" Pain frowned.
How could Pain not frown? Pain didn't want to make such an ugly fellow into a Human Path corpse; that would simply be an insult to his Human Path ability.
Reno heard Pain's question and didn't realize Pain would care about the appearance of a corpse, but he still introduced the gluttony-gluttony fruit's ability.
After Pain heard Reno's explanation of the gluttony-gluttony fruit's ability, he understood why Wapol had become like this, and also realized that this ability was very important for Human Path.
But even with the gluttony-gluttony fruit, which allowed one to eat anything and transform into it, Pain did not want to use Wapol's corpse to manifest Human Path.
Pain expressed his disdain for Wapol's ugliness to Reno, indicating that he did not want to use Wapol's corpse to manifest Human Path. Reno, understanding, said that Wapol's wife was beautiful, and perhaps she would fit Pain's aesthetic.
Wapol, seeing these two brazenly discussing his and his wife's lives and deaths, couldn't help but feel inwardly horrified.
"Am I going to be killed? Do these people just ignore me?" Wapol thought in horror, while also considering if there was any possibility of escape.
If it were the Pain of his previous life, he might not have hesitated to accept Reno's suggestion and use Wapol's wife's corpse.
But in this life, Pain did not want to treat life as mere grass as he did in his previous life. Pain did not accept Reno's suggestion.
Pain could unhesitatingly kill people like Crocodile to obtain Devil Fruit abilities, but that was driven by his mission.
Pain was not a bleeding heart, but in this life, he also did not want to indiscriminately kill the innocent, especially those who posed no threat to the organization or himself.
Oden, hearing Pain's refusal, was also inwardly relieved. At least the person he chose to follow this time was not a devil who indiscriminately killed the innocent.
Pain slowly approached Wapol, preparing to kill Wapol first and then extract his energy, but an anomaly suddenly occurred.
Wapol had been thinking of ways to escape ever since Pain and the others discussed his and his wife's lives and deaths. Now, Pain had just walked in front of Wapol, making Wapol believe this was his only chance to escape.
Wapol did not hesitate and instantly transformed into a giant gluttonous mouth, swallowing Pain whole.
Wapol was not stupid this time. Wapol wanted to use the gluttony-gluttony fruit's ability to eat the person who seemed to be the leader of this group. This way, he could use the swallowed person's ability and also take over this organization. It all sounded like a wonderful thing.
But dreams are easily broken, especially daydreams.
The giant mouth that had just swallowed Pain hadn't even had time to chew before it was blasted with a powerful repulsive force, shattering Wapol's teeth and making him scream in Pain. Many long black rods also appeared in his mouth, nailed in different positions, propping open the giant mouth.
Pain calmly walked out of the giant mouth, his will controlling Human Path to come beside the giant mouth. Human Path was only half the height of the giant mouth.
But as soon as his palm touched Wapol's giant mouth, Wapol's Soul floated out, and Wapol's memories were also read by Human Path. Wapol was dead beyond dead.
After Pain absorbed the gluttony-gluttony fruit energy, a new "gluttony-gluttony fruit" was formed. He ordered Reno to throw Wapol's corpse into the sea, then commanded Golden Lion to fly away high into the sky.
