"Bullet String!"
Sabo poked a finger out, and a thin string shot from his fingertip like a bullet, piercing right through a distant rock.
Next, he raised his hand high above his head, formed a claw with his five fingers, and swung it down fiercely...
"Five-Color Strings!"
Five deep cuts immediately appeared on that unfortunate rock.
"Sky Path!" "Overheat!" "Parasite!" "Spider's Web!"
Following that, Sabo tried several more techniques that Doflamingo had previously used, one after another, and executed all of them completely without hindrance.
Finally, he raised his right hand high, spraying a large amount of strings from his palm into the sky...
"Birdcage!"
After that cluster of strings flew into the high sky, it rapidly spread out in all directions.
However, after flying only a short distance, those scattered strings all went limp and fell from the sky.
"Ah... I failed..."
Sabo scratched the scar near his left eye, and then released "Birdcage" once more.
This time, the height and range of the "Birdcage" were visibly shrunk by a lot. Obviously, Sabo was thinking of achieving a higher success rate by reducing the size of the "Birdcage".
And his approach seemed to have indeed succeeded; a small-sized "Birdcage" covered above the heads of Sherwin and the others.
"Hee-haw! You succeeded! Sabo Boy!"
Ivankov shouted excitedly: "Although it can't deal with Logia types and the Five Elders, to anyone else, this move is extremely troublesome!"
However, Sabo shook his head with a face full of regret, "No, this isn't the real 'Birdcage'."
He sighed and explained: "I merely used the ability to create a shape, it neither has the toughness that 'Birdcage' should have, nor does it probably have that effect capable of jamming Transponder Snail signals."
The main value of the "Birdcage" lies in its almost "indestructible" strength and signal interception. Without these two attributes, this move could only trap cannon fodder grunts.
"It doesn't matter, Sabo. You've only just obtained the power of the String-String Fruit. There's no need to compare yourself to Doflamingo, who has developed his fruit for many years. With your talent, I'm sure it won't take you too much time to master the 'Birdcage' move."
Lindbergh came forward, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "In fact, Fruit Awakening shouldn't be too difficult for you either!"
Sabo smiled, and was just about to say a few modest words, when the group of ability-user cats, led by Klee Meow, began nodding their heads one after another.
"Yes, yes, Fruit Awakening is super easy! Klee didn't even train for it intentionally, it just suddenly awakened, meow!"
(=`=)
"I actually relied on the thunderclouds of Raijin Island to awaken successfully, but it really wasn't that hard, meow~"
╮(=ΦωΦ=)╭
Shermie Meow spread her paws and spoke lazily and casually.
"I seem to... have awakened while drinking, meow? Hic—"
(●ω●)
Suika Meow rubbed the large horns on her head, and then let out a long alcohol hiccup.
"Aren't you drinking all the time anyway? Saying that is the same as saying nothing, meow!"
(ω)
Jinx glanced sideways at the little tipsy Felyne, and then followed up saying: "I remember it very clearly meow. After eating the Jumpy Dumpty Super Power-Up Version made by Klee, my ability could be attached to things other than myself meow."
Kaido Meow licked his paws, and "humbly" expressed: "The Sakura Dragon Fruit seems to have a very good affinity with me meow. Not long after I ate the fruit, I naturally awakened meow."
(=)
Purah Meow was busy doing research, pass. Huamei Meow had just obtained her ability not long ago, pass.
A certain black and white Felyne who could transform into the Yamata no Orochi: "..."
(-)
Sabo and Ivankov: "..."
In any case, Haibara Meow's blood transfusion surgery was ultimately successful after all. After observing Sabo for two days and finding that he did not show any other unexpected changes, Haibara Meow, along with Ivankov and Lindbergh who had learned the blood transfusion surgery method from her, began to perform blood transfusions for several other Revolutionary Army members.
Bis-Bis Fruit, Mochi-Mochi Fruit, Lick-Lick Fruit, Cream-Cream Fruit, Butter-Butter Fruit...
Several food-related abilities were replicated onto the bodies of the Revolutionary Army members, almost enough to assemble a mini BIG MOM Pirates on Baltigo.
In addition, Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit, Morley's Push-Push Fruit, Bon Kurei's Clone-Clone Fruit, and Betty's Pump-Pump Fruit, which were abilities the Revolutionary Army itself already possessed but still greatly needed, were also replicated in several copies.
However, unlike Sabo who quickly mastered and familiarized himself with the String-String Fruit, the performance of the others after obtaining the fruit abilities was much worse.
Not only were they quite clumsy in using the fruit abilities, but they also fell somewhat short in terms of stamina consumption.
No wonder Vegapunk, when creating the Seraphim, specifically chose the Warlords as templates, and additionally incorporated the Lineage Factor of the Lunarian race...
This world really does depend on talent and lineage after all!
Fortunately, these Fruits were basically used for support and logistics, which didn't have too high requirements for the users. Although those Revolutionary Army personnel who were originally in logistics and intelligence were a bit lacking, they were still adequate.
Furthermore, the Revolutionary Army did not lack talented members. If the need truly arose, they could just perform a blood transfusion for them later.
With the fresh emergence of this batch of human and Felyne artificial ability users, Dragon, who had been leading his subordinates outside to cut off the Celestial Dragons' supply lines, also rushed back, covered in travel dust.
In addition to assigning this group of people to their appropriate places, Dragon also brought back some news regarding the World Government's side.
First, just as Haibara Meow had deduced, Saint Saturn had not truly died. However, Sherwin had not guessed wrong either—the opponent's resurrection was certainly not without a price.
"According to the information we gathered, Saturn is clearly thinner than before, and he also looks a bit older," Dragon said to Sherwin.
"But the exact changes are not quite clear. The people we planted haven't reached the level where they can just see the Five Elders at will, unless we have the kings of those allied nations help, but that would seem a bit too intentional."
"It's fine. Since such rumors have leaked out, it means there is a certain effect. As for the severity of the effect, it's actually not that important," Sherwin nodded and said, not caring very much.
On Egghead Island, the mere appearance of the Five Elders required a notification to the Marines, forbidding anyone below the rank of Vice Admiral from looking directly at them.
It was originally unrealistic to expect to hear exact information within a short period of time. The fact that such rumors were leaking out now already explained a lot of things...
This not only proved that Saint Saturn's current condition was indeed poor, but also indirectly proved that the World Government's internal control had noticeably declined.
And apart from this news, Dragon had discovered another secret—
When the World Government transported resources to Mary Geoise, they included quite a lot of special materials that the Celestial Dragons seemingly had no use for.
Moreover, he hadn't discovered this when intercepting the food supply lines. Instead, a certain allied nation with special mineral resources, which they had successfully turned to their side, was notified by the World Government that they needed to hand over a large amount of their country's signature minerals, which could be used to substitute for the Heavenly Tribute.
That nation had proactively notified Dragon, and that was how he found out about it.
However, Dragon went out of his way to investigate and found that this situation was not unique to that country; several allied nations possessing special raw materials had received similar notices.
"I suspect they are highly likely being used to repair Uranus."
Dragon's expression was somewhat grave. "At first, King Ryan didn't know what was going on. It was only after he later saw the news about Mary Geoise and learned about Imu that he felt something was wrong and notified me. Therefore, the World Government has been doing this for a while already. We must be prepared for Uranus to be fully repaired."
"That's not a big problem either!"
Sherwin waved his hand with complete confidence. "If Klee Meow could blast it into scrap metal once, she can blast it into scrap metal a second time and a third time!"
"That's right, meow!"
(=`=)
The little Ragdoll cat stood on Sherwin's shoulder, striking a proud expression identical to the Hunter's, hands on her hips as she said,
"And Klee Meow's 'Little Girl' has been upgraded again! Next time we see it, we must blast that big platter directly into pieces, meow!"
Uh... that won't be necessary...
The corners of Sherwin's mouth twitched as he secretly warned himself in his heart that the next time Klee Meow threw a bomb, he must make sure the Dodo Advance ran much further away!
