Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Torturing Devon.
After dealing with Brynndi World, Chiga turned and exited the cell. Behind him, Magellan watched his retreating back with a heavy expression.
As the Chief Warden of Impel Down, Magellan's Observation Haki was exceptionally sharp. He could clearly sense it—the aura radiating from Chiga had become even more dangerous than before.
Casting one last glance at World's corpse, Magellan composed himself and continued following Chiga to the next cell.
As he walked ahead, Chiga began sensing the newly acquired power of the More-More Fruit, taken from Brynndi World.
The fruit's name clearly came from the word "more," and its abilities were simple yet absurdly powerful: bigger, faster, stronger.
It could increase the size of any object. Based on what he'd seen in the movie, World's limit was multiplying something's size by a hundred times. Now that the fruit was in his own hands, Chiga didn't know what its true limit was—he hadn't tested it yet.
More importantly, it didn't just increase volume. It could also enhance speed, both his own and that of objects. That aspect of the ability excited Chiga the most.
Of course, no matter how broken the fruit seemed, Chiga didn't believe it could multiply his already lightning-fast speed by a hundredfold. At that level, his body might tear apart—and the planet itself wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But even if it only doubled his speed, that alone would already be monstrous.
With the More-More Fruit in hand, Chiga could now claim the title of the fastest man on the seas.
The thought made his blood stir.
Turning to Magellan, he said, "Chief Warden Magellan. Take me to Catarina Devon's cell."
Magellan gave a short nod. One "World Destroyer" was already dead—dealing with the "Crescent Moon Hunter" wouldn't make much difference. In fact, he harbored no sympathy for these pirates. Now that Chiga had the World Government's approval, Magellan was more than happy to let him clean house.
Under Magellan's lead, they arrived at Devon's cell.
Inside, Devon noticed their approach. Her eyes quickly fell on Kalifa, and a grotesque smile curled across her already twisted face.
"Muruhuhuhu... Magellan, what brings you here today? And you even brought me such a beautiful woman?"
Kalifa's brows twitched. Having read countless intelligence reports, she knew exactly what kind of perverted tastes this woman had.
Catarina Devon was obsessed with beauty. Her prison uniform was strangely spotless and wrinkle-free, but that was the least of it—her real fetish was far darker. She loved hunting beautiful women.
Thinking of the innocent victims Devon had claimed over the years, Kalifa stared at the pirate with thinly veiled disgust. She hoped her superior would act swiftly and finish her off.
Chiga did not disappoint.
After Magellan opened the cell door, Chiga stepped in without hesitation. His cold Rinnegan eyes locked onto Devon with the silent promise of death.
Because her cell was deep within the prison, Devon hadn't yet realized that the terrifying aura which had swept over Impel Down earlier had come from this very man.
Instead of recognizing the danger, she looked him over—and liked what she saw.
"My, my... What a handsome young man. Almost pretty enough to pass as one of those girls. What a waste. If we met outside, I'd have pampered you real good... Muruhuhuhu!"
That laugh was the last straw.
Chiga's right hand instantly coated in Armament Haki. He stepped forward and punched Devon straight in the mouth.
Bang!
A piercing scream echoed throughout Impel Down. Devon's teeth shattered under the force of the blow, blood spraying as her already horrific face became even more grotesque.
Magellan's brow twitched slightly. Devon had brought this on herself. Had she not run her mouth, she might've received a quicker death—like Brynndi World.
Kalifa, on the other hand, looked satisfied. She wouldn't mind if Chiga gave this monster a few more hits. It felt like vengeance for every woman Devon had ever hunted.
Devon collapsed to her knees, clutching her ruined mouth, blood pouring between her fingers. Her eyes burned with hatred as she hissed at Chiga, unable to speak.
Chiga's gaze drifted to the necklace of blue beads around her neck. A thought crossed his mind.
Without warning, he reached out and yanked it off. Holding a single bead in his palm, he twirled it between his fingers, a cruel glint forming in his eye.
Under his gaze, Devon instinctively backed into the far corner of the cell, unease creeping into her expression. Her arrogance had vanished, replaced by fear.
It didn't save her.
With a devilish smirk, Chiga stepped forward slowly. He squatted beside her trembling form—and drove a fist into her stomach.
Devon gagged, her mouth wide open in pain. Chiga took the opportunity to toss the blue bead down her throat.
"Gulp—cough! Cough!!"
Devon began choking violently, eyes bulging.
Chiga rose to his feet, looking down at her with the gaze of a reaper. The second tomoe in his left eye spun slowly.
He whispered, "Sukunahikona."
It was the name of one of Isshiki Otsutsuki's right-eye techniques in the Naruto world. The ability to shrink and restore objects at will. While Chiga couldn't shrink things yet, he could use the More-More Fruit to do the opposite—enlarge them.
In this case, he expanded the bead Devon had swallowed—by dozens of times.
A violent, wet crunch echoed from within her.
"Ugh!"
Devon's eyes bulged, her stomach ballooning grotesquely. Blood and organ fragments burst from her mouth.
She stared at Chiga in shock and horror, then collapsed, eyes rolling back, lifeless.
Chiga calmly placed a hand on her head, extracting the Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit. He transferred it into a peach inside his Door-Door space.
The peach began to change. Its skin turned gold, spiral markings appearing along the surface. Nine fox-tail-shaped stems grew from its base.
When the transfer was complete, Chiga wiped his hand on Devon's hair, then patted her head twice like swatting dirt.
"Filthy."
