The Power of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit
Sabaody Archipelago - Ruins of the Commercial Street
The roar echoed through the streets!
Urouge's fist slammed down like a meteorite, and even with Bege's tank-like cannons firing at full force, it was still torn open!
"Snap! Snap--!"
The thick steel armor plates cracked, sending sparks and debris flying everywhere.
"This guy... he's covered in injuries, yet his punches are getting stronger and stronger?!"
Urouge grinned wildly, blood gushing from his wounds, yet his muscles bulged, his fighting spirit burning fiercely.
"Cause and effect—the greater the pain, the stronger the power!!"
"Boom!!"
He suddenly raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick that bent Bege's tank cannon barrel, the steel groaning and sparks flying!
Bege cursed angrily, turned the cannon around, and was about to fire again—
"Whoosh!"
A crimson afterimage streaked across the Battlefield like Inazuma!
"Bang!"
Urouge's ten-meter-tall body was sent flying by a single punch, crashing into the Yarukiman Mangrove in the distance like a cannonball. The trunk shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere!
Bege's pupils contracted sharply, and the cannon barrel froze in mid-air. "Who?!"
A figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
Its entire body was covered in pink dragon scales, its sharp Dragon Claws were wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki, Dragon Tail swung across the ground, smashing stone bricks!
--Mythical Zoan, Human-Beast Form, Luffy!
Urouge struggled to his feet from the ruins, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving, staring intently at the immense, oppressive figure before him.
"This oppressive feeling... what kind of monster is this?!"
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly burned with fervor, and a wild smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "Haha!!"
"An interesting opponent!!"
Luffy clenched his fist, his Dragon Tail slapping the ground excitedly. "Oh? You can still stand up after taking one of my punches?"
His dragon eyes locked onto Urouge, and he grinned. "Again!!"
"Whoosh!"
Luffy vanished, only to reappear before Urouge a second later, unleashing Dragon Claw imbued with Armament Haki!
"Boom!!"
Urouge roared and crossed his arms to block, the stone bricks beneath his feet instantly shattered, and he was forced Backtrack dozens of meters!
"Click-clack!!"
Two deep furrows were plowed into the ground, sending dust and gravel flying into the sky!
Urouge's arms were covered in blood and his muscles were torn, but his eyes were even more crazed than before!
"Cause and effect, retribution, and amplified pain!"
His body swelled up again, his muscles burst and bulged like rocks, and his blood evaporated in the high temperature, healing instantly!
His fighting spirit and killing intent intertwined as he charged forward again, laughing wildly, "Your punches... the harder the better!!"
Facing the oncoming, raging giant, Luffy eyes Flash a sharp light, and the entire block shook violently as the two clashed!
Bege stared at the two humanoid monsters fighting each other in the distance, cursing them as "madmen" in her heart, and quietly decided to retreat, preparing to leave in the chaos.
However--
"Buzz--"
The sky suddenly darkened, and a shadow loomed over his head.
Bege's pupils contracted sharply as she looked up to see thick Thunderclouds churning, with electric snakes roaring like raging dragons within them!
Above the clouds, Nami stood atop the white clouds, her long legs flowing, her orange hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes cold as frost.
She raised her slender hand, her delicate shout piercing through the Thunderclap:
"Thundercloud - Weather Thunder!!"
"Boom!!"
A blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck Bege's massive tank-like body with pinpoint accuracy!
"Sizzle--!"
The electric current instantly surged into the steel, filling the air with intense heat and a burnt smell, and the cannon barrel crackled and popped!
"Ughhh!!"
Bege's roar echoed within the heavy armor; his jaw clenched, and his pupils were bloodshot.
"Don't look down on me, you damn navy bastard!!"
Enraged, Bege swung his arms, unleashing the full power of his Castle-Castle Fruit!
"Castle Demolition!!"
"Bang bang--!"
Countless cannons and guns sprang out from inside the castle, firing wildly!
Bullets and shells rained down like a storm, engulfing Nami's figure!
However, the next second, Nami's figure suddenly vanished in the flames, the bullet piercing right through, leaving only shattered clouds of mist!
Bege's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead. "Logia...?!?"
"Whoosh!!"
The clouds gathered again, Nami's figure reappeared in the sky.
Her beautiful eyes were icy cold, and her long legs swept across suddenly!
"Wind and Cloud: Tornado!!"
"Whoosh--!"
The rapidly spinning clouds suddenly transformed into sharp Vacuum Blades, like countless Wind Dragon Roar, frantically Cut Bege's steel tank body!
"Click--!"
The heavy armor was torn apart instantly, large sections of armor peeled off like paper, and shattered steel was scattered all over the street!
"Damn it!!"
Bege roared in fury, her blood boiling, and finally, she held nothing back!
"Castle - Big Boss!!"
"Boom--!"
The earth Quake-Split, and his body suddenly expanded, rising from the ground like a mountain, transforming into a giant steel castle, eighty meters tall and weighing over five hundred tons!
The neighborhood was instantly shrouded in shadow, and the naval soldiers and civilians were terrified!
A gigantic fist, like a collapsing mountain, roared as it smashed towards Nami in the clouds, "Die!!"
However, just as the fist was about to land—
"Boom!!"
A massive shadow crashed down from the sky, slamming heavily into Bege's fist and the castle's body!
The massive body slammed into Bege's giant form, causing him to stagger back dozens of steps. The street beneath his feet collapsed, and the roots of the Mangrove snapped!
"What?!!"
Bege's eyes widened as he looked down and saw that lying across his arm was none other than Urouge, who had been beaten unconscious!
"Damn it! How... how did this guy fly over here?!"
He looked up abruptly, anger and shock mingling in his pupils.
Amidst the distant ruins, pink dragon scales shimmered with crimson light. Luffy flicked his wrist and grinned.
Sorry, it was a slip of the hand!
Veins bulged on Bege's forehead as his massive castle-giant form struggled violently amidst the ruins, his eyes bloodshot. "You two bastards..."
However, high in the sky, Nami had already closed her hands, and her aura suddenly changed.
The clouds beneath her feet expanded rapidly, swirling into a massive vortex of air currents, within which lightning flashed and frost condensed on the clouds.
Her beautiful eyes slightly lifted, her voice cold and sharp. "Yunyun - Calamity Prison!!"
"Boom--!"
The sky instantly transformed into a raging, black sea, and the white clouds became a heavy, oppressive canopy overhead, unleashing destructive power one by one:
Thundercloud Punishment: A lightning pillar several meters in diameter suddenly crashed down, like Heavenly Punishment, piercing through Bege's giant armor from the clouds!
Frost Cloud River: Extremely cold clouds fall from above, freezing the streets and forcing cracks into Bege's steel walls!
Hurricane Wind Blade: White clouds condense into Tyrannosaurus, sharp as a knife, sweeping up ruins and turning into a destructive turbulent current!
Corrosive Cloud Rain: A milky white acidic mist poured down, landing on Bege's steel armor, hissing Smoke, and the metal surface dissolved at a visible speed!
"Click--!"
Bege's castle giant form crumbled under the cataclysmic bombardment; his heavy armor peeled away, his tracks broke, and his roar was gradually swallowed up by Thunderclap and storm!
"Ahhh--!"
The people and naval soldiers around the streets were already dumbfounded, and could only look up at the sky shrouded in a sea of clouds.
In the distance, Luffy wiped the cold sweat from his brow and couldn't help but grin, "Nami's move... was too ruthless!"
When the storm subsided and the dark clouds slowly dispersed, the commercial street had been reduced to a charred ruin.
Bege had regained her human form, her body charred black, her clothes torn, half her body buried in the rubble, her chest heaving violently.
The extinguished Cigar slipped from his mouth, his eyes glazed over, and he muttered, "What... joke..."
"How can the Navy be so strong...?"
Nami slowly descended from the clouds, her long legs landing firmly on the ground, and the air around her gradually calmed down.
She looked down at the half-dead Bege and the unconscious Urouge, and scoffed softly, "Supernovas?"
"That's all there is to it~"
Luffy forward, casually poked Bege's cheek, and said with a grin, "Still alive?"
Bege struggled to open her eyes, saw the grinning face so close to hers, her pupils contracted sharply, and she fainted instantly.
In the distance, the sound of orderly footsteps gradually approached; the naval forces had arrived.
Nami stretched and said softly, "Let's go, it's time to meet up with Uncle Smoker."
Luffy laughed excitedly, "Oh!! Let's leave them to the old man!"
