Rica Island’s War #10

[Dear Descendant, if the time has come for this fruit to be eaten then I trust that it is finally time to carry out the families long cherished wish. The power that you will acquire has a couple of names in the world or did when it was much more known in my time. In your time, it may have already been forgotten so I will try to best to tell you everything I know. The names of the power have been known as muscle, bulk or protein Paramecia Devil Fruit abilities because of the overall powers it has. The first ability is much similar to the Munch Devil Fruit power that allows you to consume a large amount of food but nothing else and keep it stored up within your body to use to draw out the protein within and use it to bulk up your muscles but there are always limits to how much you can actually store up so be careful. I recommend that you bring spare high protein food along with you so that you can replenish any lost protein you have burned through when using your abilities. The second ability is to bulk up every or a certain area of muscle on the body to increase the bodies overall strength, speed and endurance but if you try to use too much power at once, you could become too big which will cause your movements to become slower. If you gain better mastery then you can increase and decrease all or a specific part of the bodies muscles during combat to use it more efficiently. I recommend practicing with it for some time before using it in battle but if the situation is that bad then use it right away and hold nothing back. Crush them with pure brute force and show no mercy! If you maintain a large increase in bulked up muscles everywhere on your body then it will burn up a lot of energy so try not to get caught up in a long drawn out fight and finish it quickly. The final ability that it has is the most draining and should be used as a last resort since it burns through the stored up protein power in your body rapidly because of the physical burden that is placed on your body. The final ability is a combination of the current state of the bulked up body that you have chosen to fight in to maximise your fighting power but it will be compressed back down to your original body size. After your muscles have expanded they would then be compressed down so this Devil Fruit power grants you a great deal of muscle control which allows you to become more muscular and larger in size. Besides that you can expand your muscles in more specific places like an arm or both legs so remember that if it is used well enough, you should not be defeated. Best of luck descendant.]

As the Lawless King overlooked the battlefield, he had read through the letter left behind by his ancestors which had been constantly rewritten and restored through the generations while he was growing more impatient.

He was consuming a large amount of food that contained a large amount of protein and as he became more frustrated with how things were going, he turned to his followers.

The muscles on his arm expanded and bulked up as he stood up and waved his hand towards the nearest person which caused the weak individual to die instantly from the impact.

"My lord.. ple.."

"No!"

"Spare!"

Several transformations took place on his body as his eyes turned colder and full of madness.

When he threw out a punch or swept out his arm towards someone, it would expand and then shrink back to normal afterwards but then his legs would expand as he stomped on the ground as he quickly stepped forward and kicked those nearby.

All of those that he killed were technically on his own side but he showed no remorse from his actions but instead showed excitement.

After he cleared the room, he then read the final part of the letter.

[P.S. Inside should contain a preserved serum that had been developed by the family which should be compatible with your newly attained abilities so keep it and only use it when you absolutely have to. For a normal human this type of serum may be harmful or cause death but this should be helpful to your abilities since it is a pure concentration of protein that is very powerful so we call it the super protein serum.]

He cackled maniacally as he crumpled up the note and took out the serum before going back to consuming up to his limit of food. "They dare.. they dare invade my lands.. they dare.. they dare… to kill my men! Argh! You are all dead! The rest of you are just useless! After I get this island in my hands then I can turn this whole island into a completely lawless paradise! Then I can rebuild and replace these useless trash! Kukukukuku!"

He jumped out of the window and his whole body transformed into a large hulking figure as he fully bulked up his entire body.

He crashed down onto the ground without suffering damage and then ran towards the battlefield as if he was a juggernaut that could not be stopped.

Even the allies in his path were swept away and injured if they could not get out of his way and as he arrived at the front of the battlefield, he swung out his arm which caused a large shockwave attack.

Luckily many of the shield and armour units had advanced forward so many had been able to avoid injury and death but there were still those who were knocked back and went flying far away.

He grinned menacingly and shouted. "Come! Who was it that killed my strongest people? I dare you to show yourself!"

His appearance truly shook up the battlefield as he intimidated many nearby and caused many to become fearful.

Many had spotted his large appearance as he made his way towards the middle of the battlefield so Liushi was the first to arrive followed by Zhohaojin and many others like Sunila and Yvie.

Those that were not capable of damaging him were quickly told to retreat or fight somewhere else and leave the battle to the strongest among them.

Physically the Lawless King was above them all and could unleash enough power to injure even the strongest of them in a pure physical battle but Liushi was the first to step forward as he raised his large war glaives up. "You may be big and tough but that is all you are. Come fight me!"

He gripped onto his weapons and calmed his breathing as he kept his Whirlwind breathing style steady, calm and concentrated. "Hoo.."

A punch was about to land of him but Liushi expertly moved to avoid it and spun around which allowed his blades to leave a shallow cut on the body of the hulking figures arm that passed him. "Tch!"

If Liushi had been hit with the punch then he would have received an injury for sure but due to his mastery of martial arts and his overall training, he had been able to avoid it and counterattack in a more concentrated state.

Zhihaojin stepped forward and hit the side of the large arm with a hammer and pounded it again as it was being pulled back and then Zhihaojin moved to dodge the range of the other fist that swept towards Liushi and himself.

He then looked over at Liushi and shouted. "I do not think that we can damage him all that well unless we figure out his weakness or how his ability works. You keep his attention on you and I will provide some support."

Zhihaojin continued to use his hammers to build up his power from each swing and he occasionally attacked the limbs of the Lawless King to knock the attack away from his allies and inflict some damage to the muscles, skin and bones of the large hulking figure that was rampaging but he had to remain extra cautious and not catch the attention of the Lawless King since he was not yet at Liushi's level where he could avoid those fast and powerful attacks to easily.

Due to the huge bulky figure, the Lawless King possessed a large amount of power but his speed and body control was not so good because of his overly bulky muscles and his unfamiliarity with his new power so Liushi was able to exploit that and wound him several times even if it was not that deep of a wound.

After several slashes, he frowned. "This guys body is too tough and is difficult to damage so stay back and do not risk it unless you are certain you have found a weakness or something. I will handle him."

An arrow flew towards the lawless king and he stretched out his hand as he caught an arrow. "Pathetic..a"

The next moment a flash went off as the arrow released a blinding light which caused him to step back and cover his face making him more clumsy in his movements and several arrows followed as they aimed for the joints of the body.

The arrows still did not pierce through completely but they were stuck in the large body while a couple of the arrows released a small and controlled explosion.

Another series of different arrows followed as many wire type arrows were fired and they wrapped around the legs of the Lawless King while some restrained his arms and chest area but the muscles on his body seemed to become even bigger and snapped them.
