"Roar——"
The giant Shishi (Lion Demon) roared upon the sea surface.
"You bastard!"
"This fellow can even control the sea of clouds..."
Shura, the Sky Knight, wearing goggles like an aviator, rode a giant bird, continuously dodging the roaring giant Shishi in mid-air.
Apart from him, who saw the situation was bad and directly fled on his bird mount, the other three God's Priests were directly swept in, unable to resist at all.
The levitated cloud-lion firmly trapped them inside, crushing them alive into meat paste.
This sea of clouds and the water of the Blue Sea, the biggest difference is that its density can be changed. Even in this sea of clouds, the "Shishi" can easily make a large amount of the cloud sea become as hard as steel.
"Your Highness, I want to try out a new ability..."
Seeing the "Shishi" subdue three God's Priests in an instant, while the remaining God's Priest fled into the sky on his mount, Igar, who was leaning against Enel, was somewhat eager to try.
Actually, the strength of those God's Priests was such that Law could have dealt with them. The "Shishi" was clearly going easy on them, just toying with the opponent.
"Go ahead..."
Enel nodded with a smile.
He also wanted to know what effect that black flame would have when burning on someone's body.
"Meow!"
With an agile leap, it jumped off the warship. Igar's entire being transformed, directly turning into a giant black cat, covered in strange dark blue patterns, with two beautiful cat tails trailing behind.
"Swish..."
It leaped up fiercely, and black flames erupted from its four paws.
The entire cat demon actually hovered directly in mid-air and, at an unbelievable speed, charged towards the "Shishi" hundreds of meters away, which was currently planning to play cat and mouse.
"Indeed, does it possess the ability to fly?"
Enel's gaze slightly narrowed, not feeling particularly surprised.
He had previously speculated that the Nekomata form possessed the ability to fly, but initially, he thought it would directly grow wings on its back. It seemed that wasn't the case.
"This is..."
"Miss Igar?"
"That's right, that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!"
Bourse, Cavendish, and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking somewhat astonished at the giant monster hundreds of meters away in the sky, galloping with black flames, possessing two tails.
No one had quite imagined that Enel would actually give this Mythical Zoan: Nekomata Form Devil Fruit to such a beautiful female attendant like Igar.
"Indeed, no wonder she always gives me a dangerous feeling. So you gave that Mythical Zoan fruit, which Shiki-senpai had treasured, to her..."
"Tyrant" Kuma, Bartholomew, crossed his arms, looking somewhat surprised at Enel.
His insight was sharp, and he could roughly sense that Igar was not weak, but obviously couldn't threaten him. So it turned out she had eaten this Mythical Zoan fruit; those black flames were definitely not simple.
"Don't underestimate Miss Igar. She's not just an ordinary attendant..."
Al Csgnet's eyes, with a hint of awe for Cavendish, said without holding back, "Even if she hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit, she could easily defeat you. If not for the innate limiting factors of most females, and her having followed His Highness Enel for a shorter time, her strength would definitely surpass mine!"
In Enel's view, the current Igar's strength was already not inferior to Al Csgnet's.
The physical enhancement and exponential power increase brought by the Mythical Zoan: Nekomata Form were enough to compensate for her innate shortcomings, even allowing her strength to advance further.
Coupled with the abilities of a Mythical Zoan, it couldn't be said that she could easily crush Al Csgnet, but in close combat, Al Csgnet would definitely not be her match. Those black flames were obviously not something that could be easily resisted.
This was the benefit brought by a powerful Devil Fruit.
"I see, no wonder she always gives me a dangerous feeling!"
Law had a sudden realization.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look directly at the sea surface, at the silhouette that had already rushed up to the "Shishi."
They were still very curious about the abilities of a Mythical Zoan.
"Leave this remaining one to me."
Igar's charming and pleasant voice emanated from the giant Nekomata's mouth. Her emerald-green cat eyes carried a fierce aura not usually present.
"Tch, it's all yours."
The giant lion directly sank into the White Sea. The "Shishi" nonchalantly shrugged, looking with great interest at Igar, who was bathed in black flames and suspended in mid-air.
"So this is the ability of that Mythical Zoan? Two tails, and it can actually fly..."
"Meow——"
Not paying any attention to the "Shishi's" nonsense, her two long tails swung, and as the black flames swirled, her black figure shot out like lightning.
"What is that eerie black fire?"
Shura, the Sky Knight, riding his giant bird, looked at the monstrous cat rushing up and felt an inexplicable chill.
He had long since wanted to retreat, but if he couldn't complete Enel's decree, he believed his end would only be worse. The fear of Enel was already deeply ingrained in his heart, making him willing to brace himself and continue fighting the enemy.
"Fire Lance!"
Gritting his teeth, Shura fiercely spurred his mount, and at the same time, the long lance in his hand, imbued with heat, thrust out, meeting the giant Nekomata rushing up!
"Swish..."
The long lance turned crimson red, and a large amount of flame shot out, rushing towards Igar.
In her jewel-like fierce eyes, there was a hint of playfulness. Sharp cat claws, covered in a jet-black color, fearlessly met it head-on.
These half-baked God's Priests had no real strength at all. Even before she ate the Devil Fruit, she could easily crush them, let alone now.
If she didn't want to test out her abilities, she wouldn't have the slightest interest.
"Clang!!"
"Crack..."
The scorching gale of the flames was pushed back, and the entire long lance was snapped and shattered by a terrifying force.
......
"Swish! Swish!" Her two giant cat tails, very abruptly, grew long again, and like lightning, wrapped around Shura and the giant bird beneath him.
The next moment, eerie black flames directly engulfed the two of them.
"Ahhh..."
Heart-wrenching, miserable screams echoed across the White-White Sea.
The man and the bird, their faces contorted, struggled ceaselessly, filled with agony.
Shura himself aged at a speed visible to the naked eye; his hair began to turn gray, wrinkles appeared on his face, and his skin started to wither.
And that giant bird, its feathers all over turned gray-white, and at the same time, continuously fell off, also aging at an astonishing speed.
"Aged directly, is it burning life force? What an overbearing ability..." Witnessing this scene, even the "Shishi" couldn't help but feel a chill run down its spine, unconsciously moving far away from Igar.
...
[PS: Let me clarify, in the anime, Basil Hawkins can directly seize an ability user's power, which doesn't seem to be related to the Yami Yami no Mi. I know this point is definitely debatable, but before Oda clarifies, this point of contention will never stop. However, this book is set up this way.
If Blackbeard could easily grant others the ability to seize powers, he wouldn't have needed to cover Whitebeard with a black cloth to seize his power. This was obviously done through other means to hide it.]
[This book assumes that when Blackbeard first seized Whitebeard's power, it was through other methods, not relying on the Yami Yami no Mi. Whether the Yami Yami no Mi can ultimately seize abilities by absorbing ability users is a guess with a very high probability, but the current protagonist cannot do it.
It can be done after the protagonist's abilities truly awaken. In short, anime is anime after all; the loopholes in various aspects are innumerable if you think about them in detail. Everyone shouldn't get too tangled up in them.]
