A Strong Start, a Weak Finish

If you disregard your current situation, it is indeed a very strange experience.

Everything around him had become so enormous, which made Sirius, whose size had increased dramatically after his Beast Transformation and who now saw everything as tiny, feel incredibly amazed.

"It finally worked! It took me so much effort."

On the other side of the smoke, the Vulture trod through the air, slowly approaching, and said with a smile.

"It's really frustrating."

Sirius could only sigh helplessly.

With that last attack, he had already erected a broad, Haki barrier to block this guy's ability to unleash his power.

However, just as Sirius himself thought, using Haki in this way was too inefficient; even with ten parts Haki, one might not be able to unleash eight parts of its power.

But the Vulture's domineering Haki is also extremely strong.

What's even more troublesome is that this guy's ability can actually work against Haki.

Its Haki has also been diminished.

Although the reduction in size is far less than that of the previously shrunk greatsword.

However, that was enough. Sirius's broad and Haki shield was shrunk considerably, and was finally broken through by this guy's fist.

Then, he touched her.

Even though he wasn't seriously injured, it was enough for the Vulture to activate his ability.

Sirius was thus shrunk.

The Sirius looks at the Vulture now is like how people in the past look at him after he has Beast Transformation.

Reincarnation is a cycle.

It's going to be a bit troublesome if we want to fight the Vulture now.

You can feel the power has been significantly weakened.

This is true shrinkage; muscle fibers, bones, internal organs—everything shrinks, which naturally leads to a radical decline in physical fitness.

Fortunately, Sirius was not fighting alone.

"Sirius!!"

With a cry of surprise, Yamato launched himself forward, leaping swiftly into the air and arriving before Sirius. "Are you alright?"

She was somewhat at a loss, wanting to touch Sirius, but afraid that her strength was too great and she would hurt Sirius in his current state. In the end, she carefully cradled Sirius in her palm.

After all, Sirius is currently too small, only a little over two centimeters tall. If Yamato's Observation Haki weren't so sharp, it would be easy to overlook him if one wasn't paying attention.

"I'm fine."

Sirius shook his head. "Rather, it's a rather novel feeling."

"Hehe," Yamato suddenly chuckled, "I also think little Sirius is adorable."

She gently rubbed Sirius's head with her fingers.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "This isn't the time to talk about that."

"I know."

Yamato nodded, and then white mist rose from her body as she looked at the Vulture ahead.

"I'm going to beat this guy to a pulp! Then I'll restore Sirius to normal!"

"... We finally managed to deal with the Black Wolf, but then the White Wolf appeared."

Vulture sighed helplessly. He turned his head slightly, and his big subordinate also arrived. However, at this moment, the guy was shivering from the cold, and his body was covered with frost.

"So, what are you doing?"

The burly man trembled even more violently. He lowered his head and said, "I'm... I'm sorry, sir, I—"

"Alright, now's not the time to talk about this."

The Vulture said softly, "Let's figure out how to deal with Mr. Sirius and his men first."

The big man looked extremely uncomfortable, and he quickly nodded repeatedly.

"Then, let's go."

Vulture swooped in.

Yamato, not to be outdone, retorted, "Aurora Eight Trigrams!!"

The white spiked Spiked Club, emitting a thick white vapor, Sky Splitter and blasted forward.

The Vulture was not alarmed but rather delighted; it really is a good child who never learns its lesson.

Boom!!

Air blast.

The next instant, both figures retreated simultaneously.

"What?"

The Vulture was greatly astonished. He had clearly pierced through the girl's Haki, yet her Spiked Club hadn't shrunk. Why was that?

"Hey, your abilities are ineffective against me!"

Yamato was full of confidence.

She covered her body and the Spiked Club with a layer of solid ice.

This could potentially withstand Teacher Kaido's Conqueror's Haki Infusion ice layer in the future.

The ice layer was indeed shrunk by the Vulture's ability, but Yamato created a thicker one.

"Sirius, leave this guy to me!"

Sirius, perched on Yamato's shoulder, chuckled softly, "Actually, I don't think I need to help."

"Attack together!"

For the first time, the Vulture's expression darkened, and with a flick of his right hand, Fist of the Divine several hundred meters in size slammed down from the sky.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Yamato cried out in alarm and quickly dodged.

At the same moment, the big guy exhaled a puff of white air and his body lunged forward like Inazuma.

"Then I'll take care of this guy."

Tiny Sirius was launched off Yamato's shoulder.

"Huh? Sirius!"

Yamato pouted, looking troubled. "They really are stubborn."

"Madness!"

The hulking CP0 noticed the tiny Sirius rushing towards him, and a look of wild joy instantly flashed in his eyes.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Vulture Commander's abilities were; even the mighty Black Wolf, after being shrunk, could only become a weakling to be trampled upon.

He raised his fist and slammed it down, yelling, "Die, Black Wolf!!"

"Do you also want to take my head?"

Sirius grinned. "Kami-e."

His body instantly contorted, becoming as thin as paper.

A punch can cause a gale, and at this moment, the incredibly petite and flexible Sirius is like a blade of grass in the wind. He rides the gale and doesn't even move himself, but simply follows the airflow to avoid the big guy's attack.

"What?"

The big guy was greatly surprised.

"The human body is amazing, isn't it?"

Then Sirius lightly stomped through the air, approaching the giant.

The big guy snorted coldly, "So what if you dodged? What can you do to me now!"

His entire body turned black and hard.

Strictly speaking, Sirius is currently incapable of breaking through his defenses.

It can't bite anyone even if it wants to, because it's too small.

Unless, you make your body bigger.

Sirius grinned and said, "Then let's make our bodies bigger."

After Beast Transformation, the over two-meter-tall Sirius can become Giant Wolf with a body length of over a hundred meters.

So what about the Sirius now, which is a little over two centimeters long?

The next instant, Black Wolf about 1.5 meters long appeared out of thin air.

"What?"

The big guy stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Sirius opened his mouth wide and bit down on his shoulder.

"Whoa!!"

The big guy instantly let out a shrill scream.

Sirius stomped his four legs on the big guy's chest and then sprang backward.

"Stop howling, I didn't bite you that hard."

Sirius spat out blood as he spoke impatiently.

The big guy then noticed that only his muscle had been bitten through; his bones hadn't been damaged at all.

He thought his entire arm was going to be torn off; after all, everyone knew how sharp Black Wolf's teeth were.

The man couldn't help but smile with relief.

Sirius said strangely, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you noticed? You're dead."

The big guy was stunned for a moment.

Then--

"Ugh!!"

He started screaming.

His skin turned purplish-black in an instant, his body shrank, and his skin ulcerated.

Then, he fell.

They might struggle for a few more minutes, but they're definitely going to die.

"That's why I said it,"

Sirius laughed, stepping through the air towards Yamato. "I don't think we need any help."

The Vulture, which was constantly exchanging fire with Yamato in the air, turned around in astonishment.

He saw the Black Wolf coming from nowhere.

"Well, as expected of Black Wolf? And to think I have such a useless subordinate among my men."

He sighed.

He then glanced at Yamato was completely unaffected by his abilities.

"It seems we have to call it a day."

"Don't even think about running! Turn Sirius back to normal!"

Yamato roared angrily and gave chase at top speed.

"You're in the way, Miss White Wolf!"

The Vulture frowned impatiently and brought down a massive punch.

Yamato tried to defend herself, but the powerful force still blasted her into the ground.

"..."

Sirius's face darkened.

"Don't worry, Mr. Black Wolf, Miss White Wolf isn't that fragile."

Laughing, Vulture took off without hesitation, leaping into the air and flying away at high speed, ignoring even the subordinate who was still fighting Jack and the others.

What a true, upright Vulture!

"Sir?"

The CP0 member left behind stared in astonishment as the Vulture sped away.

When he tried to follow his superior's example and run away, his expression suddenly turned very ugly.

Where do you want to go?

Luo chuckled, and together with the others, they had completely surrounded the guy.
