Chapter 214: A Powerful Figure from a Thousand Years Ago
He himself couldn't think of any way to break it. After all, this was the hardest substance in the world.
"You can do it—or rather, that bigger guy on your ship can. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a Cutting Fruit user…"
The horned octopus looked toward the rear of the Dragon Flame.
"You mean Raptorex?"
"If the Raptorex you're talking about is the biggest one on this ship, then yes."
"His attacks…"
Jiang Qize had a rough idea of Raptorex's offensive power. He could cut through steel, but seastone should be impossible to cut.
"How much do you actually know about the Cutting Fruit?" the horned octopus suddenly asked.
"It can turn any part of the body into a sharp blade?"
Seeing it react this way, even Jiang Qize himself felt a bit unsure—after all, he also possessed a tiny bit of Cutting Fruit ability.
"That's only part of it. A thousand years ago, there was once a powerful figure who developed the Cutting Fruit to the level of cutting space itself—that is what you call a realm beyond awakening!"
Buzz!!
Those words seemed to explode inside Jiang Qize's head, leaving it ringing.
Developed to cutting space? Wouldn't that mean anything could be cut?
Someone that terrifying, yet completely unknown in today's seas?
"No need to be surprised. Although I can't leave this place, over these past few hundred years I've more or less figured out the current combat power of this sea. Compared to a thousand years ago, it's fallen an entire level. Powerful Zoan fruits have actually become the most ordinary Zoan fruits."
The horned octopus sighed.
"There are still powerful Zoan users today. Most Mythical Zoans are strong."
Kaido's entire crew were Zoan powerhouses—especially Kaido himself.
"You mean that little fellow who ate the Dragon Fruit?"
The horned octopus knew of Kaido. After all, it had been here for so long, and countless people passed through this sea every year.
"Yes." Jiang Qize nodded.
"He's decent enough. He managed to develop his fruit to awakening, but that's about it…"
"About it?"
Jiang Qize's mouth twitched.
Already awakened, and it's just "about it"… You're so impressive—does the one who chained you here know that?
Even among his current subordinates, only Ba wang had awakened abilities. Raptorex and the others hadn't even reached awakening, which showed how rare awakening really was.
Ninety-nine point nine percent of the world's powerhouses had failed to achieve fruit awakening.
Even Whitebeard—no one knew whether his ability had awakened or not.
"Devil Fruit abilities are divided into four realms: usage, control, awakening (mastery), and finally, deification."
"A thousand years ago, those who reached deification—every strike they made shattered mountains and split the earth. Their battles brought devastation to all living things."
"Then why haven't their deeds been passed down? That doesn't make sense…"
Jiang Qize frowned.
"Hahaha… kid, then you'll have to ask who rules this sea now. It's been 800 years already—any powerhouses from the ancient era probably didn't survive."
The horned octopus laughed loudly.
As its laughter rose, the seawater let out a howling sound.
"Then do you know Zunesha, the Elephant Lord?"
"Hm?"
It suddenly stopped.
"You mean Zou?"
"Of course I know him. Zou that fellow once got careless and played around near a certain country, causing a massive tsunami that nearly swallowed the entire nation. After that, he was convicted by an old guy from the D clan…"
"Never thought he'd still be around today…"
The horned octopus said with a sigh.
