Chapter 155: A New Ability (Bonus Chapter).
With Douglas's defeat, Chiga deactivated his Susanoo.
Standing before the fallen warrior, Chiga activated his ROOM space. Douglas glanced at the transparent dome enveloping him. Though he didn't recognize the ability, he knew what it meant—this was the end.
But he wasn't someone who feared death. A man who wielded such overwhelming Conqueror's Haki wouldn't be.
Grinning, he spoke his final words:
"I never thought, in my final moments, I'd meet someone like you. Thanks for showing me what true power looks like. Hahahahaha!"
Chiga silently looked at the so-called martial arts fanatic for the last time, then squatted down and gently tapped Douglas's forehead with a finger.
"ROOM: Finger Pistol."
Douglas's head snapped violently, his eyes dimming. The man who chased power to obsession finally met his end inside Chiga's Door-Door Space.
Chiga looked down at Douglas's lifeless body and muttered,
"I've granted your wish. Rest easy."
Then, he pressed his palm against the man's forehead.
The Combine-Combine Fruit was undoubtedly a powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, and Chiga had already decided to absorb it.
A few seconds later, Chiga stood upright. A third tomoe had appeared in his left eye, marking the successful absorption of the Gasha Gasha No Mi.
And just like before, the activation of three tomoe triggered additional changes. His right eye had once awakened Mangekyo Sharingan at three tomoe, and later the Rinnegan at six. Now, it was his left eye's turn.
( I take it that we're all confused, it seems like he awakened the MS in this world after regressing to the one piece verse. No hate this is a Tl, His right eye has the dojutsu ability 'Iwanagahime', He awakened that after getting 3 tomoe in his right eye)
Closing his eyes, Chiga quietly focused. When he reopened them, understanding dawned. As expected, his former Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu had returned—Taira no Masakado.
Named after the vengeful spirit from Japanese lore, Taira no Masakado was not a force of mercy. The ability tied to his name reflected that—sharing any damage the user sustained with the enemy.
In simpler terms, if Chiga lost a limb, so would his opponent.
It was the inverse of the life-saving technique in his right eye, Iwanaga-hime. One brought death, the other preserved life. When used together, they were devastating.
In Naruto, Chiga had used this deadly combo to outwit and defeat countless enemies. Lacking prior knowledge, it was even more nightmarish than Hidan's Cursed Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood.
This dōjutsu required neither a blood ritual nor a drawn symbol. Its only limitation was Iwanagahime's once-per-day use.
('Yeah and orochi killed you lol', I know that's what y'all would be thinking lol. But him dying in the Naruto world was needed for the plot to progress)
Otherwise, it would have been far too unbalanced. Without a powerful healing factor, getting caught by this ability was a guaranteed death sentence.
When pushed to his limits, Chiga would stab himself in the heart, cast Taira no Masakado, and then heal himself with Iwanagahime—pure deception incarnate.
But now, Chiga wasn't as excited by this technique. With his current strength, who could push him to that point?
Still, more power was never a bad thing.
And the Gasha Gasha Fruit thrilled him far more.
With a thought, Chiga summoned his Complete Body Susanoo once more. The third tomoe in his left eye pulsed, and purplish-black energy surged from his body, enveloping the giant avatar.
The Susanoo's armor merged into the energy and then condensed onto Chiga's body, forming a deep purple exoskeleton.
He didn't stop there. Coating the armor in his Armament of Destruction, distinct patterns spread across the plating. The transformation was complete—Chiga radiated the aura of a God of Destruction.
The purple hue of his Rinnegan deepened, and a heavy aura of devastation dyed the entire Door-Door Space in shadowy purple.
Looking down at himself, Chiga was pleased. The Susanoo armor's defense had clearly risen to a new level.
Though he couldn't yet gauge how powerful, it was certainly not as fragile as what shattered at a touch from the Ōtsutsuki in Boruto.
Even better, the destructive power of the Susanoo had been fully integrated into the armor. In this form, not even all Four Emperors together would pose a threat.
After testing the armor, Chiga turned back to Douglas's body.
Douglas was without doubt a Four Emperor-level combatant. His body was invaluable as Pain material—perhaps even more so than Shiki's.
With that in mind, Chiga summoned a sphere of black flame and placed it on Douglas's chest. The man's eyes snapped open, and he slowly rose to his feet, blank and motionless.
Chiga observed his new puppet thoughtfully, considering which of the Six Paths techniques to bestow.
Remembering Douglas's moniker—the Demon Heir—Chiga made his decision. Gazing into his eyes, he imbued him with the Naraka Path.
A ripple appeared in Douglas's eyes, and the unique pattern of the Rinnegan emerged. From now on, he was one of Chiga's exclusive Six Paths puppets.
Satisfied, Chiga clapped his hands. That made three. He already had candidates for the remaining three.
Once the set was complete, Chiga would have them form a special Marine unit, a force that could act in his name.
With the Six Paths released, and each puppet being of terrifying strength, no Four Emperor crew could stand against them.
Forget the Seven Warlords. Forget the Pacifistas. They would all be obsolete.
Let's see how the pirates would dare act up with the Six Paths hunting them down.
Thinking of all his gains, Chiga laughed. His laughter echoed through the Door-Door Space—this time, with no audience.
After a while, Chiga suddenly frowned. He rubbed the right side of his forehead and muttered with a puzzled expression:
"Strange... why does this spot itch a little?"
