Chapter 440: The world is so big, I can go anywhere!

"Uh…"

But the next instant, the smile that hadn't yet had time to bloom on Zeus's face froze.

What did it see?

It actually saw its Ten Thousand Thunderbolts pass right through Zhang Jie's body,

blasting a charred, gaping hole in the deck of the Queen Mama Chanter!

"Zeus, you bastard, you hit me!"

The Queen Mama Chanter, who had been imbued with a soul by Big Mom and turned into a Homie, cursed. The surrounding deck even began to squirm,

looking like it intended to repair the gaping hole blasted by Zeus's lightning strike.

"What is this?"

Big Mom was also momentarily suspicious and uncertain.

Although she knew that the attack of Zeus alone as a Homie couldn't possibly do anything to Zhang Jie,

what was with this lack of reaction, passing straight through?

Could it be that Zhang Jie had already left using some Devil Fruit ability without her noticing, and what remained was just a phantom?

Standing above the massive crater, seemingly standing on thin air, Zhang Jie had a smile on his lips.

That the Munch-Munch Fruit could open a Devouring Space within the body to perform the devouring and processing of all kinds of metal, rock, and even soil,

and wood, was something every user of the Munch-Munch Fruit knew.

After the Zhang Jies obtained the Munch-Munch Fruit and opened the Devouring Space, they had a bold idea

—namely, could the ability user themselves enter the Devouring Space? Would they be devoured if they went in?

There were five Zhang Jies in the Shared Space, and because they were all the same person,

they could all control each other's Devouring Spaces, so they boldly started the experiment

—even if the Munch-Munch Fruit's Devouring Space would devour the ability user themselves,

the other Zhang Jies could control the Devouring Space to "spit out" the person inside.

The result of the experiment was a great success: the ability user themselves could enter the Devouring Space,

Although the laser cannon placed on the Black God was still a replica he manufactured using the Munch-Munch Fruit,

Although with the current strength level of the Zhang Jies, they didn't fully understand the operating principle of the Devouring Space,

it didn't affect their development of the practical application of this phenomenon.

After entering the Devouring Space, they were in two spatial dimensions from the real world.

As long as the attacks of people in the outside world weren't capable of breaking space,

they couldn't cause him a shred of harm while he was hiding in the Devouring Space.

This reminded Zhang Jie of Uchiha Obito, who was known alongside Naruto as one of the two "losers" in *Naruto*.

His ability to enter the Devouring Space was very similar to one of the abilities of Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan: Kamui (Intangibility).

Obito's right eye Kamui was mainly used for defense and rapid movement.

He could transfer himself or a part of his body (like an arm)

to another dimension the moment he was attacked, thereby becoming intangible to dodge the attack.

In addition, he could also use this ability to transfer himself or objects back and forth between the real world

and the other dimension, achieving instantaneous movement and passing through obstacles.

How strong was this ability? Obito was able to disguise himself as the master dancer Uchiha Madara for a long time

without being blasted into smithereens by Nagato's Shinra Tensei, all thanks to Kamui.

And even in the final battle against the final boss, Otsutsuki Kaguya,

Obito's Kamui still serves as an important defensive and tactical means,

helping him dodge attacks and disrupt Kaguya's tactical deployment.

In Zhang Jie's understanding, abilities like space and time inherently possess high-dimensionality.

Low-dimensional attacks, as long as they haven't reached the effect of a qualitative change from quantitative change, have no effect on high-dimensional power.

The prophecy that once circulated in early novels—"Space is supreme, time is king;

unless Fate appears, Causality is emperor"—was not without reason.

"Brothers, swim in all directions! Even a monster in the New World cannot kill us all!"

A pirate with a ferocious face and strong limbs shouted while swimming hard outward.

Thump, thump.

Many pirate minions were like frightened fish, running wherever they could,

some running to the island, intending to play a hide-and-seek game with Zhang Jie on the island;

some swimming toward the deep sea, intending to borrow the current to escape if they encountered an undercurrent;

and more clever ones saw the way the Black God killed Black Bear, and dived below the sea surface.

Although he could decide where to appear to execute a tactic of "virtual and real,"

he was countered by Katakuri—Observation Haki at the level of foreseeing the future was just too foul.

Knowing that staying to continue the entanglement wouldn't yield any advantage, Zhang Jie chose to leave gracefully.

However, before leaving, he gave Katakuri an almost imperceptible nod.

"Spatial ability, Mama, this is a spatial ability!"

Smoothie reported to Big Mom with a solemn expression.

Zhang Jie's current performance reminded her of her younger sister Xia Luote Brulee's Devil Fruit, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.

The basic ability of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit is to create mirrors for defense or to reflect attacks.

Its advanced ability, however, is to create an independent space called the "Mirror World,"

which can trap people or objects that have come into contact with its mirrors.

Those imprisoned cannot enter or exit freely, but the ability user themselves can enter and exit at will.

"Mamama, I really don't know what kind of Devil Fruit this kid ate."

Big Mom touched her chin with her hand, which was thicker than an elephant's leg, feeling very curious.

Just now, when Zhang Jie was fighting her, he had demonstrated converting the enemy's elemental attacks for his own use

(Zhang Jie converted Zeus's Ten Thousand Thunderbolts attack into a Thunder Dragon to paralyze Big Mom),

and his physical defense, which was nearly indestructible like her Iron Balloon.

Now he had demonstrated spatial ability. The comprehensiveness of this one Devil Fruit's ability,

or rather, the degree of Zhang Jie's development, exceeded her imagination.

"Mama, what should we do next? Should we slaughter Pineapple Island to teach that arrogant fellow a lesson?"

Xia Luote Daifuku's expression turned ruthless, and he raised his right hand, making a throat-slitting gesture.

Hearing this brutal suggestion to slaughter an island at every turn, the other officers of the Xia Luote Family remained unmoved:

What were they, the Xia Luote Family? They were pirates!

If pirates weren't brutal and didn't plunder, how could they intimidate other unruly pirates?

And how could they gain a foothold in this New World where countless pirate crews fought in chaos?

Only a few children of the Xia Luote Family, like Pudding, the future fiancée of Sanji,

who still had a conscience, felt unbearable,

but hindered by Big Mom's brutal rule, they dared not say anything at all.

At this moment, Katakuri spoke: "Mama, a mere Pineapple Island is not worth mentioning.

It is not worth offending such a powerhouse for them."

"Ho ho ho."

Big Mom grinned and laughed: "Katakuri makes sense.

It is not worth offending such a powerhouse for a mere Pineapple Island."

"Besides,"

A flash of brilliance passed through her eyes: "With Pineapple Island as a bargaining chip,

we might even be able to cooperate with Zhang Jie."

Only in a child's world is everything black and white, and only there do they talk about right and wrong; in an adult's world, there are only interests! ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
