The pirates had the upper hand for a time, relying on their rich combat experience and wild fighting style. Although the sailors on Doruton's side fought bravely, they gradually became powerless in front of the pirates under Kara. These pirates were able to reach the end of the paradise, so their strength was naturally extraordinary. Even though they had not eaten for a day, they still showed amazing combat effectiveness and endurance, and beat Doruton's soldiers back step by step. Seeing this, Doruton knew that he could not continue. His skin gradually became rough, showing the dark brown color unique to bison, as if covered with a thick layer of cowhide. Then, Doruton's muscles began to swell, and the originally fitted clothes were torn, revealing the muscles as hard as iron and stone. As the transformation progressed, his back bulged, forming a pair of majestic shoulder blades, showing wild power. Finally, a pair of curved horns grew on his head. When the black bison appeared on the deck, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The bull head rushed towards Carlo, and its hooves kept rubbing on the ground, posing as if it was about to charge. "Devil fruit ability user? Unfortunately, I have one too." Kara saw the appearance of Doruton after the transformation, chuckled twice, and showed a disdainful expression on his face. Amid the cheers of the pirates, Kara's figure also changed. A large number of thorns suddenly appeared on his sleeves and under his feet. These thorns spread and grew around his body like living things, emitting a strange breath. Kara is also a devil fruit ability user. He has the ability of the superhuman thorn fruit. This ability allows him to extend thorns like thorns all over his body, and even rocks can be easily pierced. The reason why Kara left the Sabaody Archipelago was because he spent a lot of money to buy this precious devil fruit. At that time, Kara had just swallowed the thorn fruit, and the use of its ability was still quite unfamiliar. He could only simply control the growth of thorns on his body. As time went on, Kara was able to skillfully control the thorns to launch attacks. This progress not only improved his combat strength, but also strengthened his control over the crew, which is why there was no riot even though there were no supplies on Kara's ship. Kara stood on the deck, facing the transformed Doruton. He took a deep breath, and his hands began to change, with sharp thorns emerging. These thorns were like living things, flexibly winding and stretching between his fingers. Under Kara's control, they slowly stretched out, like countless poisonous snakes, spitting out their tongues, ready to attack at any time. Kara took the lead in launching an attack, and the two thorns in his hand quickly changed, turning into two long swords in his hands like magic, with the sharp sword tips pointing directly at Doruton. Doruton's bull hooves rubbed the floor twice, then lowered his head and pointed the pair of hard bull horns at the approaching Kara. The next second, Doruton's body rushed towards Kara. Although the ability users of the animal-type fruit seem a bit clumsy in some aspects compared to the ability users of the superhuman and natural systems, this does not mean that their strength is not strong.
On the contrary, the ability users of animal-type fruits often have extremely strong physical fitness due to the nourishment of devil fruits. Especially after entering the New World, the ability users of animal-type fruits gradually showed their advantages. After learning the Armament Haki and Observation Haki, they narrowed the gap with the superhuman and natural ability users, and even gradually gained the upper hand in some aspects. This also made the ability users of animal-type fruits attract much attention in the New World. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, has a special liking for animal-type ability users, and he often accepts such ability users. In Kaido's view, only animal-type ability users are real ability users. Other ability users are just a group of soft eggs. Kara confidently waved the thorns in his hand and stabbed at Dorudon, hoping to penetrate the opponent as easily as before. However, when the two really collided, Kara was shocked to find that his thorns seemed so weak in front of Dorudon's armor-like cowhide. His attack seemed to pierce into a ball of special rubber, not only unable to pierce, but even failed to scratch Dorudon's skin. A closer look revealed that not even a trace of blood had flowed from Doruton's cowhide. Instead, Kara's thorns were tightly entangled by the cow hair on Doruton's body, and he could not break free. Because the thorns were connected to Kara's body, he could not easily withdraw his hand at this moment and was in trouble. Just as Kara hurriedly manipulated the thorns to fall off his arm, Doruton had already caught his flaw. Doruton's body suddenly raised high, accompanied by a muffled cry unique to bison, and he stepped heavily on Kara's chest with two cow hooves with amazing force. Kara's sternum was instantly broken by Doruton's attack, and his heart and lungs were also seriously damaged. When Doruton raised his hoof, two deep cow hoof prints were left on Kara's chest, indicating the cruelty of this attack. Kara on the floor kept spitting out blood from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs, and his life was in danger. His eyes gradually became blurred, and his body lay on the ground weakly, obviously unable to stand up again. "Kill them all, leave no one alive." After killing Kara, Doruton gave the order coldly. His body had returned to its normal human form, but the majesty and murderous aura still lingered around him. As the current actual ruler of the Sakura Kingdom, Doruton knows exactly when to show what attitude. He was amiable when getting along with the Straw Hat Boys, but that was only due to the plot needs, in order to maintain the image and interests of the country. At this moment, facing the enemy, he must show his decisive side to ensure the safety and stability of the country. Lin Yi on the side did not make a move, on the contrary, he stood aside and watched Doruton and Kara fight silently. For Kara, the new pirate, Lin Yi evaluated that if he took action, the battle could be resolved in almost one move. As an animal-type fruit ability user, Doruton has thicker blood and harder skin, so he can resist for a little longer. In Lin Yi's estimation, Doruton might be able to withstand his two sword attacks. Of course, it is limited to being able to resist one more sword.
Seeing the captain fall, the situation of the crew of the Kara Pirates took a sharp turn for the worse under the siege of Doruton's soldiers. These pirates were originally fighting against the army of Doruton with their last breath. As Kara fell to the ground, the breath in their hearts also dissipated. Without the support of their will, the pirates' fatigue and hunger became more and more obvious, and their combat effectiveness dropped significantly. Facing the continuous siege of the Doruton army, they fell into an unprecedented disadvantage.
