Power of Shendu in One Piece - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Awakening of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!

Blaize thought, and without hesitation he clicked ‘+’.

Awakening devil fruit is really important issue.

After all, Zoan Devil Fruit awakening is really weird.

If awakening failed, you will turned into mindless beast.

There are four examples of this in Impel down.

But awakening of the devil fruit decide how strong you gonna be in the future.

So without hesitation he clicked ‘+’ behind the devil fruit.

[-10000 Points]

[Devil Fruit awakening procedure has started…]

In the next second, his whole body turned red as if it is boiling. White steam emanated from his skin under extreme heat, while everything within a 1-meter distance started to melt.

“Oh shit! How do I stop this thing?” A blinding golden light emitted from his body and Blaize felt the temperature of his body keep on raising showing no sign of stopping.

Not only that Blaize body turned into Dragon form for the first time, and he felt the boost.

This power boost is really huge, while his body turned into 3 meter’s high Green Dragon.

Just opening the mouth, and flame comes out of his mouth.

“Stop… Stop… Stop!” After a minute of battle with himself, Blaize controlled the temperature in his body. ‘I better learn to control this power fast so as not burn others to crisp.’

After experimenting with his devil fruit abilities for another hour, he finally able to control his transformation, and as well as burst of various talisman powers.

Blaize look himself in the dragon form, who literally has the height of a normal tree.

He found that after awakening, he became immune to all kind of heat based attack. Like Fire, Lava, and so on.

And just like all other Zoan devil fruit, after awakening, his strength, speed, and various other physical attribute has increased a lot.

He once again checked the interface,

—————

Blaize found that his boost from Fire Dragon transformation actually reached 10x times.

This is pretty high power.

Only problem is that consumption of stamina also increases.

His overall stamina didn’t increase because of Fire Dragon Transformation. Only attack power increases.

Not only that, after his devil fruit awakens, he found that even when he don’t enter into Awakened form, he found that consumption of stamina for using Talisman has decreased a lot.

Now he can use his talisman to display more power for longer time.

Unknowingly night passed and Sun rose from the faraway horizon.

It’s then the shocking thing happened. When the sun rays descended on his body, he felt the change. Something inside his body absorbed the warm energy from the sun, dumbfounding him.

The energy from the sun harmonized with Fire Dragon body, and sunlight converted into points and constitution attribute.

It’s wasn’t obvious to human eyes, but he could see it on his panel.

He didn’t foresee such an incredible development. Only then he realized, his devil fruit is an overpowered one. Blaize was overjoyed, with his newfound ability he can improve his strength faster.

Just as he plans on experimenting some more, he spotted a Marine battleship in the distance sailing towards Koka Island.

The battleship anchored few kilometers away and 100 some marines approached the Island in Lifeboat. Leading the marines is a muscular, broad-chested man decked in a captain coat.

Blaize recognized the Marine, ‘Maynard the Pursuer’. He was introduced in Dresrosa Arc as Vice-admiral but now he was just a Rear Admiral. Even so, he wasn’t one to be trifled with as he’s from headquarters.

Since the current timeline is only 1517, maybe he didn’t get the promotion.

Just a look, Blaize knows he isn’t the latter’s opponent.

Maynard landed with the marines.

The marines behind Maynard looked at one another in confusion. Aside from the dead ones, the other pirates were still sleeping without any care in the world, this is the first time they encountered such a weird situation.

“Why are they still sleeping, they aren’t even putting us, the marines, in their eyes?”

“Fool! I think they are knocked by something. Otherwise, no sane pirate will sleep before Rear Admiral Maynard.” The marines discussed among themself.

Meanwhile, Maynard glanced at his surroundings and spotted Durd’s chopped head and lifeless ‘Barb’ with his heart pierced. He didn’t expect to find them dead.

He also noticed Blaize and a notion formed in his head. ‘Did he do it?’

“What’s your name, Kid?” Maynard asked while Blaize stated his name.

“Blaize!” Blaize answered.

“Blaize… a good name. Did you do this?”

Even though Blaize admitted it, Maynard and other marines found it hard to believe. An unknown kid around 14-15 taking out two wanted men who had nearly 50 Million bounties combined? It’s unheard of.

“I can’t believe he killed ‘Durd’ with that skinny arm of his!” A marine commented.

“Right! I think he’s trying to earn the bounty amount by claiming their death.”

“Why did you do it?” Maynard asked. He didn’t bother to ask the question, how did you do it? because it doesn’t matter to him. What matters is ‘why?’.

“They killed my parents, forced me to work in their pirate ship for a few months, and sold me as a slave,” Blaize stated his reason. Since he plans on joining the Marines, he didn’t hide anything.

Even if he did, the marines will find the truth sooner or later with their intelligence network.

Maynard nodded his head in understanding, he didn’t ask any other question. This type of thing is pretty common to him. In fact, half of the marines in the world were hurt by pirates one way or another.

Maynard looked at Blaize, and asked: “So you are completely alone?”

Hearing this question, Blaize and even the marines were bit shocked.

Seeing Blaize’s expression, Maynard felt as if he hit the nail. He smiled, and said: “Sorry kid, you are in bad luck. I need to get the promotion, so I can do the justice much better around the world.”

Blaize face darkens instantly when he heard this.

He know that Maynard wants to get the credit of killing those pirates. As for the rest of garbage like Justice, it was all just excuses.

Swishhhh!

Maynard take out his sword at blinding fast speed, and slashed at Blaize.

Blaize tried to dodge the attack using Rabbit talisman speed, but Maynard sword actually moved into the direction Blaize about to move.

Slash~

Blaize who was completely uninjured by the pirates, he was actually injured the by marine.

A slash from his left shoulder to waist is cut open.

This slash made more than 2 inch deep wound on his body.

Blaize looked angrily towards Maynard, while Maynard was also shocked.

Maynard know how much strength he used, and he even use Observation Haki.

But with this kind of attack, he only able to injure this kid. This shows that this kid is not normal.

“You bastard, you tarnished the image of marines!”

Blaize shouted.
