Chapter 165 Do S
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What?"
At the party after the team's joint effort to defeat the monster, Snake held up his drink and asked in confusion.
The smiling superhero sitting next to me whispered mysteriously:
"I heard that the association is planning a new system that allows qualified heroes to improve their strength, and it seems to be related to that person."
"That one? Is it Lord Aokiji?"
"That's right!"
Another person sat down next to me.
He was a golden ball with a hood, and he was also holding up a beer mug, sharing what he had heard.
"It seems to be a new Psychic Power developed by Mr. Aokiji."
"How many new abilities have we got now?" Snake remarked, taking a sip of his drink. "Can they unconditionally make someone stronger?"
"I don't know."
The Golden Ball and Smiling Superman both shook their heads.
All they knew was this plan.
They know nothing about the specific details of the plan.
"But since it's Mr. Aokiji, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, he's involved."
Golden Ball felt reassured and took another big gulp of beer.
Snake and Smiling Superman exchanged a glance.
"That's true."
The three of them clinked glasses and drank heartily.

" Aokiji-Chan, is this okay?"
Puri-Puri Prisoner looked at her boyfriends, who were lying unconscious on the floor.
Curiously observing the ground beneath them, the shadows that should have been there were now completely gone.
"I've cut out their shadows." Aokiji crumpled the shadows and put them away. "Remember to emphasize the dangers of sunlight to them. If necessary, demonstrate it with a real-life example."
"They are all my precious boyfriends, and I won't let them disappear easily! I will give them a good 'reminder'."
Seeing Puri-Puri Prisoner's smile, Aokiji had absolutely no desire to know his method of reminder.
He simply waved his hand, wishing Puri-Puri Prisoner and the prisoners who would never be able to leave Stinky Prison again would get along well.
Those whose shadows are cut off by the Shadow-Shadow Fruit will disappear when exposed to sunlight.
From then on, Puri-Puri Prisoner's prison harem became even more secure.
Having secured the position of deputy warden, he seemed to be living a very comfortable life lately, while the prisoners had all become quite thin.
After leaving Stinky Prison.
Aokiji has arrived at the Monster Association's underground base again.
The recruitment of eccentric individuals is progressing rapidly.
The base was now bustling with activity.
Enveloped in a pitch-black shadow, with only a rough human shape visible, Aokiji, even more grotesque than a monster, strolled leisurely through the Monster Association.
The strange people passing by naturally couldn't see through his disguise.
When passing by, I would glance at him with slight apprehension and then quietly take a longer route.
There's no need to provoke someone who looks very strong.
Aokiji was happy to have some free time.
Most of the eccentric people seem to be quite busy.
It's not just about infrastructure work; the amount of work required to create a self-sufficient underground organization, or rather, a small society of eccentrics, is staggering.
Of course, all this busyness has nothing to do with Aokiji.
Just leave the work to Psykos.
Speaking of which, Psykos was still staying with Mosquito Girl during this time.
The two of them have been having a bit of a fight lately, and the other members of the Monster Association have all come to tattle on them.
I'll discipline them later.
As Aokiji was thinking this, a figure blocked his way.
"You... seem to have potential for training~"
Wearing a leather restraint garment with large cutouts, long, smooth golden hair, a heart-shaped mark on her forehead, and scarlet pupils under her black eyes, a seductive voice came from under her mask.
A bizarre man named Do S who forcibly brainwashes people with whips.
"Although I can't see his face, I can sense it from his aura." The strange, long tongue under the Do S mask licked.
"You're quite good-looking, aren't you?"
This focus... truly befits the thought process of an eccentric.
Aokiji, whose shadow completely obscured her vision and whose eyes were invisible, stared silently at her.
"Huh? Can't you talk? Now..." Do S tilted his head, resting his chin on his hand.
"Then its value will be even higher!"
Aokiji adjusted his vocal cords, making his voice hoarse and deep, like a demon's:
"When did you join the Monster Association?"
"It can talk, that voice…" Do S frowned.
"This is really special; it's piqued my interest even more!"
She seemed completely unconcerned about the aura of power emanating from Aokiji, and pulled out a leather whip as she spoke to herself.
His eyes were fixed intently on Aokiji's shadowy figure.
"Let me see what kind of face is hidden under this shadow!"
The Monsters around them also realized the tense atmosphere, but they all looked on with anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
As Monster, they generally do not reject violence and conflict.
Do S has only been here a few days, but her infamy has already spread throughout the Monster Association, and a group of monsters have been whipped and brainwashed by her.
Their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.
And this dark-skinned guy on the other side, I've never seen him before.
Just by looking at his stance, you can tell he's terrifyingly strong!
Who will win this conflict?
The strange people were very curious, and some busybodies had already started a betting game in secret.
A group of Monster people with blank expressions slowly walked out.
Snap—
Do S lashed the ground with his whip, issuing commands arrogantly.
"Grab him!"
"Yes, ma'am."
The controlled monsters responded in unison.
...
There was no action taken whatsoever.
Do S's facial expressions and movements became stiff.
Yes, sir! So get moving!
Unbeknownst to her, the shadow on the ground extended from Aokiji's feet and merged into the strange man's shadow.
The shadow was restrained, and the main body was also unable to move.
Originally, Moria could only use this move on inanimate objects.
The breakthrough in the limiter also raised the upper limit of Devil Fruits, which Aokiji discovered through his own exploration.
"Move! Move!"
Enraged, Do S continued to whip the slaves.
However, it still had no effect.
Do S quickly went from being confused to being terrified.
The mind control has not been broken.
She realized, no matter how hard she tried, that the strange phenomenon was caused by the dark creature in front of her.
But without the slaves who act as her henchmen, how much fighting power does she have on her own?
She's going to become a pathetic loser!
Do S took a half step back, her scarlet pupils instantly turning timid.
"It's their fault, please don't, please don't..."
As she spoke words of feigned weakness, she moved closer to Aokiji, her frail and alluring figure swaying subtly with each step.
It seems she's trying to use her looks to bewitch Aokiji into begging for mercy.
But suddenly the whip in her hand lashed out!
A look of pleasure appeared in Do S's eyes.
If I hit you, no matter how strong you are...
The whip stopped in mid-air.
Do S's pupils dilated, and he swallowed.
There's really no other way.
The only means of countermeasure was also resisted by an incredible ability.
Is it the same Psychic Power as Gyoro-Gyoro- sama?!
Aokiji strolled towards her.
It swept directly over Do S's stiff, motionless body.
"Let's go, lead the way to Gyoro-Gyoro."
"Um...okay..."
"I can't speak," Do S said tremulously.
I don't know why, even though I wasn't held accountable, I still have a really bad feeling.
