One Piece: Path to Power

Not a chapter, I will post one in a few hours, but this is important so do read, or die.

So I planned {Ancient Voice} a bit hastily and ended up making some plot holes so I will clarify the skill on its own. A rookie author mistake, so to speak. ​​

The skill was intended to be a 'unique' power of his own like each 'Top Dog' in One Piece has.

It is MAINLY to reign over all animals and hear the 'Voice of All Things', the human control is only a byproduct of his voice.

It's not really a nerf but things I had intended from the start but forgot to specify.

⚠ READ AT LEAST THE 'RESTRICTIONS' PART ⚠

----- Recap ---------------------------------

What it can do before Evolution (Chapter 6):

- Gives control over low-intelligence animals of land, sea and air

- Weak-willed humans will be compelled by your words

- Zoan users might face stronger effects

- Stronger-willed humans will face varying effect by your voice

-----

Evolved Version (Chapter 49):

- Gives control over low-intelligence animals of land, sea and air

- Zoan users might face stronger effects

- Greatly increases the degree of compulsion

- Anyone below 3 sub-levels of strength will be fully compelled with your words (currently Low-Tier Yonko Commanders and weaker)

- Anyone below your level but above the 3 sub-level threshold will face a varying degree of effect

- Allows you to use your mind to inflict illusions of any form upon others

- The weaker the mind of a person, the more difficult it is for them to escape from your grasp

- Allows you to subject certain ideas into one's mind while them being unaware of your mental intervention

- Allows you to mould illusions with your Conqueror's Haki release to inflict greater fear and suppression onto your foes

----------------------------------------------

⚠ RESTRICTIONS:

- Commands issued can only affect the controlled for a small amount of time (He can be like, "KYS", and they will, he can't be like "Be my dog for 30 years".)

- If Damien directs a command at a small group of individuals then they will wholly be compelled to do so (as long as the above conditions apply)

- If Damien directs a command over a large group, they will be controlled but will remain conscious of their actions like during chapter 26 when they sat as told but were confused as to why they did so

- Does not affect Conquerors or Strong-willed Individuals (practically anyone above Yonko Commander)

- It is COMPULSION, not BRAINWASHING --> He cannot force loyalty but only force a few actions that last a short amount of time. Therein, he cannot just go and get hundreds of thousands of pirates under 100% control like Enigma

- There is a loophole to the loyalty thing but it is for me to know and for you to discover

----------------------------------------------

Again, the power is mainly for the VOaT and control over all animals, the human control is mainly a side-effect of his powerful voice which is why it only works on the weak-minded

I will also post a new chapter after the ability was introduced with the restrictions, this is for the current readers

----------------------------------------------

I dislike the idea of brainwashed subordinates, it's boring and dry so it won't happen.

I know I could have made it an AUX but let's be honest, no one actually listens to my spoiler warnings

Quick question: Did Roger and WB infuse Conqueror's in the clash during the Oden flashback? Or was it only Ryou?
