The Wind-Wielding Boxing Giant!
At this 53rd Grove, the ground shook and the trees trembled. One after another, huge explosions like cannon fire rang out. Under the cover of this sound, the gunshots and screams were simply insignificant.
"Huff... Cough!"
In the thick, dusty darkness, Comil leaned on his Bokken, panting heavily. He could no longer suppress the stagnant blood in his body and coughed it out.
"This is troublesome, I don't think I can handle this guy."
"I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive."
[Boom--]
The moment the bitter smile left his lips, a huge shadow appeared in the dust above his head, causing Comil's expression to change drastically. Without a word, he instantly vanished from his spot, disappearing into the cratered ground.
[Bang!!]
A tremendous roar slammed into the ground, instantly sending up a powerful gust of wind that swept away all the dust. Only then did the true form of the shadow reappear in sight.
Fist!
A huge fist connected to a thick, long arm.
His arms were covered in bronze-colored armor, and his fists were encased in silver-gray knuckle dusters.
This punch created a crater more than ten meters in diameter right where Comil had just stopped!
They ran away again.
"Your navy's escape skills are truly impressive, but how are you going to capture me then?" A deep, disdainful voice came from above.
Comil gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the giant creature that was over ten meters tall.
An outsider might mistake him for a giant, but he knew this bastard was just a superhuman, a troublesome character who could grow to enormous size, comparable to the Giant Tribe.
Keji, captain of the Giant Fist Pirates, has a bounty of 83 million Beli!
This level of skill, if placed thirty years from now, would definitely make him a top-tier Supernovas, and one of the best among them!
On this basis, what made Comil feel most helpless was that this bastard had actually made himself a complete set of exquisite full-body armor, with only his eyes showing from head to toe, and even his neck was completely covered.
Normally, after growing to gigantic size, the skin and bones would be greatly enhanced, making it difficult for ordinary blades to penetrate the defenses, and with an additional layer of armor...
"Keji, your arrogance won't last long!"
"I've already seen you lying on the ground, being carried to Impel Down by warships!"
While retorting, Comil's body was not idle either. He sprinted towards "Giant Fist" Keji with his twin swords, then ran faster and faster, his speed constantly increasing, until he disappeared from the ground. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air to the side of his opponent, using Geppo.
"Hmph, you'd better survive my punches first!"
Another gust of wind howled, and the Giant Fist transformed into a palm, unleashing a visible gale. Comil had no choice but to use Shave to teleport to the side again, unable to force his way through.
He had previously tried to cut through Feng Kuangfeng with his twin swords, but was then smashed to the ground by a punch, injuring himself and spitting blood.
Despite its large size, this Keji has a wealth of fighting experience, especially in using the force of its punches and palms—it's incredibly skilled!
This made Comil understand a principle.
Giant Tribe are at most troublesome, but Giant Tribe who can manipulate the wind are truly terrifying.
Although this guy isn't Giant Tribe.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Comil used his agility and speed to circle around the Keji's massive body repeatedly. Eventually, he broke through the layers of defense and arrived in front of the Keji!
"Rankyaku!"
He first unleashed two vacuum slashes at the Keji's visor, then sheathed his twin blades and began to gather power, intending to pierce the only two exposed eyes.
"Twin Wheel Iai."
[Call--]
But before Comil could utter the word "slash," and just as the twin swords were about to be drawn, Keji suddenly inhaled deeply and then exhaled a nearly tangible column of wind.
The surging airflow disrupted the former's movements and rhythm, violently blowing him away and sending him crashing heavily into a mangrove trunk in the distance marked '53GR'.
That wasn't all. Before Comil could even react, Keji unleashed a standard jab with a gust of wind over a meter thick. Judging from his movements, it was clear he had received formal combat training!
A giant clad in bronze Iron Fists unleashed a punch.
Although the Keji doesn't Haki, its gigantic size and strength are enough to overwhelm the Comil Haki.
This is the fundamental reason why the Giant Tribe are known as the strongest race and Elbaf as the most powerful nation—their innate advantages are too great!
Keji possess this advantage in strength!
[Bang--]
The Giant Fist slammed into the tree trunk, scattering a large amount of wood debris, but the force was ultimately insufficient to destroy the Yarukiman Mangrove, because it was taller, thicker, and harder than the Keji.
There are 78 trees as strong as it on this island.
If this mangrove tree could come back to life, it would surely show this impudent pseudo-giant what true power is!
"Hmph, you're dead now."
The Keji didn't care whether it had damaged the mangrove tree or not. With a cold smile, it withdrew its fist and looked at the hollow in the tree. But the expected bloody mud didn't appear. It ran away!
"That was close, really close!" Vincent, his body wreathed in blue flames, looked at Comil in his arms and teased, "If I had been even a second later, I probably wouldn't have recognized you."
"Thank you!" Comil stood up, still shaken.
To be honest, for a fleeting moment just now, he thought he saw the gates of the underworld open.
"Is it just you?"
Vincent understood what he meant, and looking at the corgi that had spotted them, replied, "And Brigadier General Bivis, he said I'm faster, so he sent me first to provide support. He's in charge of dealing with that giant, Ifri, in Sector 51!"
It turns out that this Giant Fist Pirates has more than just Keji as a 'giant'; there's also a genuine Giant Tribe.
With a bounty of 51 million Beli, he is the Giant Fist Pirates, and is known as 'Twin Warhammers' Yifuli.
"How are Rabani and Weini?" Comil asked worriedly.
It was those two who, along with their marines, held off Yifuli earlier.
It's fortunate that this Keji looks down on ordinary human crew members and dreams of recreating the glory of the Giant Warrior Pirates with a 'mortal body', which means he wants a crew of the Giant Tribe!
His main purpose in wanting to enter the New World was to recruit crew members from Elbaf, the kingdom of the Giant Tribe!
"Not good. They're both seriously injured and unconscious. Of the five hundred marines, most have been killed or wounded."
As soon as Vincent finished speaking in a low voice, Keji strode over, giving the two no time to dawdle. Suddenly, it jumped up and down like a child hopping over an ant.
What the two of them were facing was a giant twelve or thirteen meters tall pressing down on them from above.
The Keji's enormous size blocked the sun from shining, casting a deep shadow.
"Go to hell!"
"Ants!"
Vincent and Comil tacitly spread out to the left and right. As Keji landed heavily, the entire Grove 53 shook violently. He was like a monster unleashing his power without restraint beside the mangroves.
With Vincent's help, Comil's pressure was greatly reduced, and he was finally able to launch some seemingly effective counterattacks.
The three immediately engaged in a fierce battle, and cuts and dents appeared on the Keji's armor.
However, they couldn't damage the internal organs. It was because after Comil and Vincent's attacks were neutralized by the armor, the remaining force couldn't break through the skin's defenses!
Keji's ability to grow to gigantic size is not just about their enormous size and strength.
His physical constitution was also enhanced, making him no different from the Giant Tribe.
Meanwhile, the chaos in this area gradually spread to the entire shipyard region.
By the way, I've already put the group number in my profile, so it'll be easier for everyone to join the group and find me.
