Chapter 286: Trait—Innate Rebellion!
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"
A dragon was a dragon—wasn't it just another Kaido-level creature?
Why did it make him feel so unbearably suppressed?
Faced with something beyond his comprehension, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was furious.
The Dark-Winged Dragon's bloodline suppression had reduced his combat power by thirty percent, leaving him at only seventy percent strength. It was driving him insane!
Never before had he encountered such an incomprehensible phenomenon.
Watching as the massive black mist palm descended, Saturn couldn't stay idle any longer.
He immediately transformed into his beast form.
His body expanded, becoming massive.
His arms vanished, his eyes turned sinister, and his attack methods became far more brutal.
His lower body transformed into spider legs, which could extend to attack while secreting a highly corrosive poison.
Saturn had no intention of saving the CP0 agents—
Instead, he opted for a strategic move, planning to force Uchiha Yi into a vulnerable position.
Two of his spider legs shot toward Uchiha Yi and the Dark-Winged Dragon in the air.
With no warning, they stretched out at lightning speed, striking like flashes of light.
But—
No matter how fast the attack was, it was still within Uchiha Yi's perception.
He had already been keeping part of his attention on Saturn's movements.
"Void Creation—Severing Space!"
Without even moving his hands, Uchiha Yi used his mental brush to draw a horizontal line in the air—
A barrier of air materialized, blocking anything from approaching him!
Clang! Clang!
The spider legs struck the invisible barrier, producing a metallic clang, but failed to advance even an inch.
Saturn refused to give up, trying to attack from different angles.
But—
The result remained the same!
BOOM!
Meanwhile, the black mist palm finally descended.
The CP0 agents struggled with all their might to resist—
But against overwhelming power, especially while already weakened, their efforts were meaningless.
The ground shattered, collapsing into a massive crater, with black mist swirling around its edges.
As for the CP0 agents, they now lay half-dead, their bodies wrapped in the same dark energy, with blood trickling from their mouths.
They had suffered severe injuries, their strength greatly diminished.
"Go down and play with the Five Elders for a while!"
"Don't kill him just yet."
The reason the CP0 agents fell so quickly was that they had been completely suppressed by the Dark-Winged Dragon.
Their Zoan-type regenerative abilities had also been affected, making them no different from ordinary strong humans.
Without their enhanced recovery, their wounds wouldn't heal quickly.
Uchiha Yi had fought enough—
The battle was no longer interesting to him.
Since it was garbage time, he left the Dark-Winged Dragon to give Saturn a proper lesson.
Hearing this, the Dark-Winged Dragon dived down, while Uchiha Yi used his Awakening ability to alter the surrounding air, allowing him to float in midair.
"Good!"
"Let's see what your damn beast can do!"
They had lost.
Despite bringing so many powerful agents, they had lost!
Saturn's face darkened—if there were ten volcanoes in the world, now there were eleven—
Because the eleventh one was the rage erupting within him.
"Die!"
His fury-infused Conqueror's Haki exploded outward, crashing toward the Dark-Winged Dragon.
But then—
A ridiculous sight unfolded.
The Dark-Winged Dragon tilted its head slightly, as if confused.
It was almost as if it were saying, "What just happened?"
Clearly—
Saturn's Conqueror's Haki had no effect on it!
Using Haki against it was utterly pointless—a clown's act.
"ROAR!"
"Dragon's Might!"
Though confused, the Dark-Winged Dragon sensed provocation from its opponent.
So—
It responded in kind.
An overwhelming aura of dominance radiated from its body—
A true ruler's suppression, completely maxed out.
As a mythical beast, the Dark-Winged Dragon stood above all animals—
And Saturn's Zoan form placed him below it in the food chain.
Feeling the superior being's presence, Saturn's movements slowed, his attacks becoming sluggish.
The Dark-Winged Dragon didn't care.
With a powerful swing of its tail, it smashed into Saturn, sending him flying through the air.
But it wasn't finished.
It chased after him, slamming him back and forth like a ragdoll, treating him like a ball in a game of catch.
After dozens of attacks, Saturn was on the brink of death.
Only then did Uchiha Yi call for it to stop.
He had no intention of killing major plot figures—
There was no real gain, aside from a single Soul Point.
It wasn't worth it.
Instead, Saturn could still serve a purpose elsewhere.
Retrieving Seastone chains, Uchiha Yi bound Saturn and the CP0 agents, sealing their Devil Fruit abilities.
Now, there was only one last thing to do.
"Trait Imbuement!"
"Innate Rebellion!"
There were many ways to use trait abilities.
And Uchiha Yi had experimented with a variety of interesting traits.
For example—
Innate Rebellion!
A very amusing trait.
Anyone with this trait would be naturally rebellious and disloyal.
Now—
These captured agents would be held as hostages, then sold back to the World Government—
In exchange for a fortune in Devil Fruits!
And what would happen next?
How would these trait-infused prisoners act toward the World Government?
Uchiha Yi was quite curious.
Meanwhile—
According to their plan, once Uchiha Yi was drawn away, Lucci's team would escort Robin, Franky, and Iceburg to Enies Lobby for the final handover.
So, while the battle raged, Lucci and his team were already departing.
But—
They hadn't expected the "fragile flower" women of the Nameless Pirate Crew to chase them down.
Against Uchiha Yi, Lucci might hesitate—
But against a few "weak women"?
That was laughable.
If he was afraid of them, then as the leader of CP9, he might as well go home and raise pigs!
"Robin, are you okay?!"
Nokigo looked at Robin's battered state, her voice filled with concern.
"I… I'm sorry!"
Robin's voice trembled with guilt.
She had endangered them all.
She had betrayed their trust.
She didn't know how to face them.
"You don't need to say anything."
"We're getting you out of here—right now!"
