"Oh, then you probably haven't been to the New World. There are plenty of ways to deal with things like you." Sage sneered with disdain.
"Heh heh heh... Do you think this is all I have?"
Granny let out a cold laugh, "Your attack is indeed strong, but no matter how strong, it's just physical. It can't compare to someone like me, an Ability User!"
The stone on the ground began to surge like waves, instantly covering the entire hall. Even the walls and ceiling seemed to melt.
"I ate the 'Smelt-Smelt Fruit' and became a 'Melting Person', capable of melting and dissolving everything. I can dissolve and reconstruct the density of objects, and I can also fuse with any object, making it stronger."
He stretched out a hand, allowing the stone waves to gather around him, coiling up his arm. He looked at Sage with confidence, "Depending on the development of the ability, sometimes an Ability User can use the power of 'Awakening'. See my power!"
He drew a Golden Sword from his waist, pointing it at Sage, the smile on his face growing wilder, "Your Haki level is high, but it's not infinite. Whereas I... can create objects of high density infinitely!"
Sage raised an eyebrow and said, "Just with stones?"
"There's carbon in stones!"
Granny shouted, "Carbon fusion and purification will become something else, just watch!"
Rumble...
The entire castle quaked violently at this moment, turning into liquid-like streams that rapidly surged into Granny, absorbed into his body. The more he absorbed, the more solid his figure became, like that half face covered in diamonds, the body began to sparkle, covered in a layer of diamond.
And that body suddenly swelled, growing to three meters tall, and his physique became robust.
He became a Diamond Person!
Under the moonlight, the entire castle was absorbed by him, leaving a flat ground on the mountain, revealing the interior of the castle and a few people still searching around.
"Sage!" Lily and the others spotted Sage and quickly ran over, but before they reached him, they saw the glittering monster under the moonlight.
"Smelted Gold King!"
Granny's deep voice resounded, even the Golden Sword in his hand turned to diamond. He grinned with diamond teeth, his eyes also in a diamond form, glaring at Sage, "You should feel honored to witness this form of mine, commoner!"
"You're obviously a diamond, why are you pretending to be gold!" Sage rolled his eyes and instinctively looked backward, breathing a sigh of relief.
The Golden Throne was still there.
Not only the Golden Throne, because the castle vanished, the flat ground on the mountaintop was glittering everywhere, with golden shield emblems fallen on the ground, golden candlesticks, and even a pile like a small mountain of glittering Gold Coins and gold bars.
The quantity dazzled Sage's eyes.
"I am the King of Gold!"
Granny roared, the stone ground beneath his feet surged again. Seeing this, Sage's pupils shrank, and he quickly lifted the nearest Golden Throne.
All those piled-up gold in the ground were swallowed by the stone waves, including the weapons and armor stored within the castle, all merged into the stone waves, surging into Granny's diamond body.
The glittering diamond became more solid, turning into a golden image.
"My gold!"
Sage's eyes widened, his teeth almost grinding, "Did you really melt my gold?!"
What is this?
Yellow diamond?
Ten dollars a month, right.
The universal currency on the sea is gold; never heard it's diamonds. This stuff, no matter where it comes from, can be made with the right methods.
He knew under Whitebeard there was Jozu, who could be covered with diamonds, which were real diamonds.
But he also knew the richest on the sea, Tesoro, whose fruit ability could only make fake gold, couldn't make real gold.
Both are Ability Users, but one is real and the other fake, which is better or worse is obvious.
Moreover, he only wants gold that can be easily liquidated!
Whoosh!
While Sage was stunned, a violent gust swept toward him, Granny appeared before Sage, slashing down with a large yellow diamond sword.
This speed...
Sage's pupils shrank, his right hand coiled with black Flowing Fire, abruptly thrust forward, catching the slashing giant sword.
Crack!
Boom!!
Just as they connected, the heavy force made Sage frown, his forearm bones clearly fractured, unable to withstand this guy's tremendous strength, and allowing the diamond sword to slash down.
"Marika!"
He swung his left hand, throwing the Golden Throne toward Marika, who caught it, the weight making her steps sink, cracking the stone ground.
And at this moment, Sage took advantage of the brief pause caused by holding up the giant sword, his right hand flipping upwards, grasping the sword blade, and swiftly shifting his body from the side, five fingers supporting against the sword surface in mid-air, and he pivoted, striking a kick at Granny's temple.
Clang!
A crisp sound spread from Sage's toe, he slightly squinted, his legs exerting force, his entire body using Granny's figure to leap back and land on the ground.
Boom!!
At this time, the giant sword slashed into the stone ground, causing the mountain peak to tremble violently.
The ground hit by the diamond sword exposed a bottomless chasm!
