Chapter 371 Ancient Coffin, Speculation
Roy remembers it very clearly.
The information about the admiral in front of him was recorded in great detail in the Navy's internal files—given Roy's current authority within the Navy, he could naturally access all the relevant information.
He also remembered that after the admiral in front of him was eventually killed by Rocks, because he was killed while protecting Mary Geoise and guarding the Celestial Dragons, his body was even specially allowed by the World Government to be buried in the Holy Land, and a very formal funeral ceremony was held, with the then Fleet Admiral personally carrying the coffin to the burial.
Of course, it is said that some Celestial Dragons were quite unhappy about this—as always, they were not very human and even believed that Admiral Doman should not only not enjoy the treatment of a hero, but should be punished instead, because the time he spent stopping Rocks was extremely short, and he was said to have been killed in an instant.
But one thing is certain.
That is...
"He should indeed be a dead guy."
Beneath the mask of the Rabbit, Roy gazed at the general before him.
"No heart, no heartbeat... No matter how you look at it, it's almost like a corpse, but judging from that attack just now, it can still use its ability to stop my mind and thoughts, and its Haki is quite astonishing."
"He may be weaker than he was when he was alive, but certainly not by much."
"The ability to resurrect the dead... the Shadow-Shadow Fruit? No, it doesn't seem like it..."
The Rabbit was thinking rapidly in its mind.
At the same time, he heard Doman in front of him speak slowly.
"You know my abilities and identity... I saw it in the files? You have a high-ranking informant within the Navy?"
"And those fiery wings from earlier...that's a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit...I see, the Phoenix Fruit's power? But as far as I know, there should already be a Phoenix Fruit user named Marco in this era. Your Twelve Zodiac Signs' abilities are definitely problematic."
The former admiral did not seem to have much of an emotional reaction after seeing the reconstructed body of the Rabbit.
Just as the records in the dossier stated—this general who controlled mental abilities was extremely calm.
He stared intently at the rabbit, his words seemingly thoughtful.
As the other party scrutinized him, Mao Tu could sense a powerful force seemingly probing his mind. Even though Mao Tu used his domineering aura to block it, the other party could still clearly see bits and pieces of his thoughts.
[Soul Fruit LV5]
【Fruit Awakening - Master of the Mind - Can forcibly perceive anyone's inner thoughts and control their mind and ideas, causing them to enter various abnormal states such as "dullness," "apathy," and "slowed thinking." While it cannot completely sense and block out the mind of a powerful Haki user, it can still partially work, sensing some of the other person's thoughts and ideas.】
"That's a really annoying ability..."
The rabbit's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I think I understand why Lox was so decisive in eliminating you."
For people like him and Rocks, who have many secrets in their hearts, this guy's abilities are indeed very dangerous.
After hearing Mao Tu mention the name Lox.
"Lox..."
Doman's expression changed visibly, and hatred and anger flashed in his eyes.
Clearly—although he was a corpse resurrected by some unknown force, he still retained his memories from his previous life.
"Whether it's that foolish pirate who dared to challenge God, or you twelve constellations, you are all things that should be destroyed."
"God awakened me from my coffin for this very moment..."
As he said this, he raised the greatsword again.
"Ling Shu?"
Upon hearing this word, Mao Tu frowned.
This phrase instantly reminded him of one of the ancient technological devices hidden in Mary Geoise that Shanks had mentioned before.
"I remember one of the facilities was called by the Knights of God... the Ancient Coffin?"
Could it be that General Doman was resurrected through that technological facility and transformed into the calamity on Ghost Island at this moment?
"The effect of the Ancient Spirit is to resurrect the dead? It seems that it also has the effect of changing perceptions—otherwise, at least according to the information in the dossier, this Admiral Doman should not have been such a person who worshipped Im in his lifetime."
The Rabbit pondered.
And clearly, Doman once again caught the few words he was thinking.
Therefore, the general's expression suddenly changed drastically: "You actually know about the Ancient Spirit Pivot! Who dares to be so presumptuous as to reveal the secrets of the gods to you, a traitor..."
With a low growl, his knees suddenly buckled.
"Buzz!"
Dark Armament Haki coiled around the greatsword, and the next moment... he leaped into the air!
"boom!"
The immense force instantly crushed the rocks deep beneath the ghost island, his movements as swift as a cheetah.
"Unintentional Flow..."
With his low growl, an invisible force once again invaded the heart of the Rabbit.
He is trying to erase the idea of "the rabbit evading" or "reacting".
Just as a scorpion always uses its stinger to incapacitate its prey when hunting, it was this ability of Doman's that earned him the nickname "Red Scorpion".
but...
"this one?"
In the next instant, the sudden sound froze Dolman's confident expression on his face.
His body stopped almost instinctively, and the movement of his greatsword also paused for a moment because at this moment, Mao Tu's voice was very fast, obviously not affected by his ability at all.
not only that.
Doman also clearly felt that the "mind" that his ability touched had also undergone a dramatic change at this moment.
If his ability to erase other people's thoughts was somewhat similar to breaking a thin wooden pillar...
So now he felt that what he was trying to break was not as simple as a wooden pillar—the ever-accumulating mind was like a huge iron pillar, as big as a mountain, and red-hot.
His ability is so great that it can not only break or bend the opponent, but even touching them will make them feel a burning sensation.
"kill!"
"Defeat the evil dragon and liberate this country!"
"I will avenge my parents and wife!"
"Kill all those scum! It doesn't matter if I die!"
That burning, pure, and intense fighting spirit seemed to carry the shouts of millions of people.
That was precisely the mindset of all the rebels in Wano Country.
[Liberation Fruit - Additional Fusion Effect - Pulse Freedom]
The fighters who "gain liberation through the power of the Liberation Fruit" can have a portion of their power and Haki fed back into their own bodies through the sound of the liberation drum, thus comprehensively enhancing the user's attributes.
The more people are liberated, the stronger the effect.
Yes.
Under the influence of the "Fruit of Liberation," every warrior "burning with an inextinguishable flame" is part of the power of the Rabbit.
Their fighting spirit, their soul, their will to fight will all burn like flames within the body of the Rabbit.
"And now, the flames of the Rabbit are burning... the entire Wano Country."
"Do you know that?"
The next moment, flames completely blocked Doman's path.
The rabbit stepped out of the flames, its calm voice stating the clear facts.
"Since your death, the Navy has undergone adjustments—the requirements for an admiral's personal strength and mastery of Haki have become higher, and the training has become more rigorous."
"The previous generation of admirals and this generation are all far stronger than the admirals of the past... The reason is that the Navy believes that the admirals must be qualified to fight against the strongest monsters of the sea, or at least should not be instantly killed in a short time."
"And unfortunately I have to tell you..."
"You were powerless against Rocks in your previous life, and you are no different when facing me."
As he spoke, Mao Tu calmly raised his fist and then swung it.
"Are you kidding me..."
Almost instinctively, Dolman raised the greatsword in his hand, and then...
"boom!"
He saw the flames of the Rabbit pierce through him, along with his sword and his body.
"bake!"
Before Doman could even react, the scorching flames had already instantly incinerated his body.
After Doman's body crashed to the ground and was burned to a crisp in the flames.
The rabbit looked at the other person.
"Hmm... he didn't revive again."
After confirming that Doman had no intention of rising again, Mao Tu thoughtfully remarked, "Judging from this, the resurrection of the 'Ancient Spirit Pivot' seems to be a direct resurrection of the corpses of the deceased from the past, rather than a true rebirth."
As he walked toward the secret chamber in front of him, he secretly wondered about the effects of the "Ancient Spirit Pivot".
"If the corpse is destroyed, or if there's no way to restore it to its original state with limbs intact, then resurrection might be impossible or meaningless?"
He appeared somewhat solemn.
Even if the Fiery Cross's conjecture is indeed limited as he thought, it is still a weapon of unimaginable power, capable of completely changing the entire situation of the ocean.
And most importantly...
As he just said, although Red Scorpion "Drowman" is certainly not a so-called civilian admiral, his abilities are actually more functional than combat-oriented. Especially after the naval reforms of recent decades, this admiral would most likely only be an "admiral candidate" in today's era.
"If someone really comes to attack Onigashima, then they must be prepared to face Kaido head-on before they come—if they are prepared to fight Kaido head-on, then they definitely won't lose to Toman."
In other words, it is clearly unreasonable to use Dolman as Ghost Island's trump card.
The only explanation is...
"Doman is primarily responsible for intelligence gathering and surveillance, as well as administrative tasks; his abilities are indeed relatively well-suited to handling this situation."
"So, what about the other 'disaster'?"
Roy naturally hadn't forgotten what Yamato had said before: the "disaster of death" seemed to involve two people.
Then the problem arises.
"According to Yamato's intelligence, that calamity has a rather enormous size and an exaggerated amount of strength."
"He might very well be the true defensive barrier of Onigashima... if he too is a being resurrected from the Primordial Cycle..."
Upon thinking of this, Roy frowned.
Based on these characteristics, a guess involuntarily arose in his mind—he was certain that the other party must have also died in Mary Geoise, and that their body had likely been obtained by the World Government.
If his guess is true, then...
"Even with the power of the Liberation Fruit to enhance them, Ace and Yamato might not be able to withstand that person."
At the same time.
"Yamato, are we there yet?"
Yamato and Ace are traveling on Onigashima.
Looking down through the hole in Onigashima at the flames burning everywhere below, Ace asked in a low voice.
After spending some time together, he and Yamato had developed a pretty good relationship; they could even be considered friends.
Therefore, he spoke quite casually at this moment.
"There's one more floor, we'll be there soon."
"Ah Ken, carrying a spiked club," Yamato replied in a deep voice.
"Hey, I can't wait!"
Ace clenched his fists tightly, making a crisp "crack" sound: "That guy who tormented this country and the villagers of Amigasa Village, I'm going to give him a good beating later!"
"Don't try to take it from me then!"
He felt an unprecedented surge of power within him, and his confidence was clearly overflowing.
By this point, it's clear that he and Luffy are indeed brothers who grew up together—their fighting spirit and expressions are truly inherited from each other.
"That won't do."
After hearing his words, Yamato smiled, a rare hint of arrogance in his voice: "I've been putting up with this island for a long time, and Ken won't hold back then."
She was clearly quite confident in her current strength.
"Then let's rely on our own abilities."
Ace wasn't surprised by Yamato's attitude. He grinned, but then his smile vanished: "But with all this commotion outside, the 'Disaster of Death' still hasn't shown up... Is this guy's Observation Haki really that bad?"
He frowned slightly as he looked up at the floor above him—that was the highest floor of Ghost Island besides the top floor.
According to Yamato, the room built specifically for that "disaster" was on that floor.
The problem is... at this point, with a battle of this scale on Onigashima, even those at the highest levels, as long as they possess some level of Observation Haki, should be able to detect it, right?
But in fact, the calamity has not shown itself at all so far.
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Yamato also frowned.
But just as she was about to answer.
"!!!" *2
She and Ace both paused at the same time, and their expressions changed drastically.
Because by this time, they had already captured it.
That sense of threat from above was so immense, so terrifying, that it was almost terrifying.
"The Spear of Elbaf - King's Spear!"
