S-Wolf didn't hesitate—he rushed forward, blades dragging sparks across the metal floor, then slashed upward in a twin-arc pattern aimed to bisect Ryo at the waist.
Ryo vaulted backward in a burst of speed, flipping once before landing lightly on his feet. Sparks crackled off his ankle as he steadied himself.
He narrowed his eye.
Ryo: How the hell did this thing get my uncle's devil fruit
Edison's voice crackled through the earpiece, buzzing with excitement.
Edison: Oh it didn't. The green blood running through S-Wolf is for the Gore Gore Fruit, not the Blood Blood Fruit. The Gore Gore Fruit allows someone to create weapons out of blood—but that's it!
Ryo grit his teeth.
Ryo (thinking): Green blood? What the hell does that mean—
A blade of hardened blood whistled past his cheek, cutting off the thought. It embedded itself deep in the metal wall behind him with a shuddering clang.
Ryo exhaled, annoyed.
He vanished.
Lightning burst under his feet as he used Flash Step, reappearing right in front of S-Wolf mid-motion. The child's crimson eyes widened, unable to react in time.
Ryo's leg darkened—Armament Haki streaking up his thigh, layered with crackling lightning. The air hummed.
Ryo: Voltic Raze!!
His kick slammed into S-Wolf's torso like a lightning bolt striking steel.
The boy was launched across the room, smashing into the wall hard enough to crater the metal. Dust and broken panels collapsed around him.
Ryo landed on one knee, electricity wreathing him like a storm made flesh. He didn't even look winded.
From the rubble, S-Wolf stepped out, rolling his neck, unfazed.
Ryo smirked.
Ryo (thinking): Good. I don't have to hold back.
S-Wolf hissed through his fangs and snapped his fingers.
Three floating blood spears materialized around him—twisting, pulsing, vibrating like living weapons. With a single swipe, he sent them rocketing toward Ryo.
They tore through the air like guided missiles.
Ryo didn't bother raising an arm.
He tilted his head.
A spear missed.
He leaned back slightly.
Another grazed past.
He stepped sideways lazily.
The third buried itself into the floor.
Not a single drop of sweat.
His expression flattened into boredom.
Ryo (thinking): Not even close to the real thing. Uncle Hiroto would've cut me in half already.
Lightning flared around him—then darkened. Red streaks coursed through the current, the air crackling with the weight of Conqueror's Haki. His hair whipped wildly, aura turning violent.
He vanished again, reappearing inches from S-Wolf's face.
Ryo: Voltic...
His fist cocked back.
Ryo: Rampage!!
The room filled with movement too fast for the eye to follow.
Dozens—hundreds—of strikes poured into S-Wolf like a storm. Each hit detonated like lightning ripping apart metal, the shockwaves cratering the floor, walls, and ceiling.
S-Wolf's body twitched, wings flaring wildly as he was battered from all angles.
Then Ryo saw it—
The flame on the child's back flickered...
...then went out.
His eyes widened.
Ryo (thinking): Now!!
He reared back, haki-coated fist pulling power inward until lightning screamed around his knuckles.
Ryo: Voltic! Cataclysm!!
He drove his punch straight into S-Wolf's gut.
The entire room boomed.
S-Wolf flew backward like a fired artillery shell, crashing through the door he entered from and disappearing into the chamber beyond. A spray of bright green blood splattered across the floor.
Silence.
Ryo stood panting slightly, cloak of lightning flickering around him, hair wild and eye sharp.
Edison's voice shrieked back through the earpiece.
Edison: ok! That's enough for now! Are you trying to destroy our research!!
Ryo's eye twitched dangerously.
Ryo: are you trying to kill me?! You brought me down here against my will and made me fight an almost invincible superweapon!
The 8 door slammed shut, sealing the Seraphim away with a heavy metallic hiss.
Ryo exhaled, thunder fading, eye returning to normal as the aura receded.
Edison: we were trying to see what it could do. Clearly it's still far too unstable
Ryo rolled his eye, brushing dust off his shoulder.
Ryo (thinking): that's what happens when you use the blood of someone who is unstable
Edison: anyways, there's a door out of this room, so feel free to go explore
A panel slid open behind him, revealing a long corridor.
Ryo sighed, shoved his hands in his pockets, and walked forward, the door sealing shut behind him as he left the wrecked training chamber in silence.
And that's a wrap
That was fun, just a taste of what the real thing can do
Oh but we aren't done with S-Wolf yet
