Chapter 113: A Rechargeable Zanpakuto?
Pryce new inventions had now become something for these division commanders to boast about.
Marco, that guy, loved to brag about seeing Senzu Beans and Teleportation Talismans while drinking.
His utterly arrogant demeanor made these division commanders, who were often away, grit their teeth in frustration!
Now, with the opportunity to be the first to witness Pryce new invention, none of them wanted to miss it.
"Impressive, Pryce!"
"What's the new gadget this time? Hurry up and show us!" Marco exclaimed excitedly.
Even Whitebeard, who had seen countless storms, knew that Pryce would surely bring him a surprise!
From the Senzu Beans and Teleportation Talismans to the Time Chamber and Exploding Tags, each of these things would have been considered pure fantasy by Whitebeard in the past.
Yet, every single one of them left this old man, who had lived for decades, utterly stunned.
Especially the Exploding Tags—wasn't it their doing that made Kaido so furious?
Even now, Whitebeard would wake up laughing when he remembered the devastation on Onigashima a few days ago.
Doflamingo, seeing Pryce announce a new invention, felt a pang of anxiety.
The more inventions Pryce unveiled, the more Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard would value him.
Although he was now a big shot in his own right, compared to someone like Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, there was still a gap.
This made the already difficult task of winning Pryce over even harder!
The more Doflamingo learned about Pryce, the more he understood the immense significance of what Pryce created.
The Artificial Devil Fruits he had been producing were already quite remarkable, but every single invention of Pryce was nothing short of extraordinary.
Doflamingo ambitions were far greater than just being the emperor of the underworld!
One day, he wanted to openly become the emperor of the whole world.
Not someone who had to bow to the Navy or those stronger than himself!
Pryce glanced out of the corner of his eye at Doflamingo and his crew on the nearby cargo ship.
After all, he had already recruited Caesar, so these things probably couldn't be hidden from Doflamingo for long.
With that, Pryce pulled out a rather unassuming long sword from the backpack on his back.
The eagerly awaiting crowd was stunned.
A long sword?
Although this world was full of swordsmen, most of the swords were famous blades!
For example, Whitebeard Murakumogiri was one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords and these were all forged by renowned swordsmiths.
The materials and craftsmanship were all meticulously chosen, While they knew that Pryce as an inventor and scientist was undoubtedly ahead of his time.
But as a swordsmith?
Even Whitebeard had to question that, Moreover relying solely on a sword might not be enough to inflict damage on Kaido, whose physical defense is incredibly monstrous.
Although Whitebeard managed to cut into Kaido flesh with a full-powered strike using his Murakumogiri, once the sword was pulled out, the wound immediately healed completely.
"Is this a sword?" Marco asked uncertainly.
"Of course it is!"
"Can't you tell?" Pryce rolled his eyes at Marco.
"Did you quit being a scientist and Switched to being a swordsmith?" Marco burst into laughter.
Before Pryce could continue speaking, Whitebeard kicked Marco in the butt.
"Get out of here! Do you think a fool like you can understand Pryce's inventions?" Whitebeard glared as he spoke.
Marco could only awkwardly rub his butt.
"Pryce, hurry up and tell us, what kind of sword is this?" Whitebeard asked curiously.
At this, everyone quickly quieted down, eager to hear Pryce explanation.
Pryce, seeing the crowd settle, slowly drew the sword.
Whitebeard looked at the unsheathed blade. It seemed like this sword was just something Pryce made on a whim.
After all, the material looked ordinary and it didn't even seem very sharp.
'Oh well, no matter what Pryce says, I'll definitely give him some credit to save some respect' Whitebeard thought to himself.
Pryce, unaware of Whitebeard thoughts, was entirely focused on his Zanpakuto.
After all, this was a weapon with a prestigious origin, It was derived from the famous Zanpakuto of the Bleach world.
Especially after being modified by the system, although the exact power of this sword was unknown, it was surely not weak!
Moreover, when Pryce was crafting this Zanpakuto, he had infused it with energy and discovered that the sword had an immense capacity for absorbing energy.
It seemed that after the system modifications, the Zanpakuto energy absorption was extremely high.
"Everyone, please pay attention. This sword is called a Zanpakuto!"
"Its most notable feature is its ability to absorb any form of energy and then release it all at once!" Pryce explained carefully.
After all, he couldn't just say this thing was from another world.
Kaido, who had been about to mock Pryce, was momentarily stunned!
Absorb energy? Release it all at once?
These incredibly profound terms made Kaido heart tighten, Even when Whitebeard had Murakumogiri pressed against his neck, Kaido hadn't flinched, but now he felt a hint of fear.
"Absorb energy?"
"What does that mean?" Marco asked.
This was a question many of the division commanders were curious about.
"Like this!" Pryce stood the Zanpakuto to the side and picked up a nearby flintlock pistol, In full view of everyone, he directly pulled the trigger of the firearm.
The bullet embedded with an explosive tags instantly left the barrel and struck the blade of the Zanpakuto.
The moment the explosive tags bullet collided with the Zanpakuto, it immediately exploded.
At that moment, the Zanpakuto emitted a strange light, absorbing the sparks from the explosion.
The explosive tags bullet, now devoid of momentum, fell to the ground.
Everyone witnessing this bizarre scene was utterly shocked!
What just happened?
Why did the explosive talisman bullet have no effect?

[This stupid ass Zanpakuto is not a real zanpakuto, its ability is only to absorb and release energy]
