10,000-Meter Clay Nika Form!
Storm eventually solved the problem of Zunesha's desire to eat shaved ice.
He first used the power of the [Clay Fruit] to create an extra-large "clay ice cream";
Then, using the transformed leaves of the [Raccoon Dog Fruit], he summoned Golden Lion II;
Finally, using the transforming leaves again, they managed to recreate Aru, who was wearing the [Eat Eat Ring].
With these three methods combined, an extra-large "Flying Multi-Scoured Ice Cream" was born.
Storm had already tested the effects of the [Eat Eat Ring]'s abilities.
Even the clay he releases using his abilities can be transformed into edible food after being modified by the [Eat Eat Ring].
This is the power of the Devil Fruit!
With the intention of doing a good deed to the end, Storm had the clone, Golden Lion II, deliver the "Flying Multi-Spherical Ice Cream" directly to Zunesha's mouth.
This poor old elephant, who has lived for over a thousand years, has never received such thoughtful service.
The moment the "flying ice cream" entered its mouth, the Zunesha suddenly opened its eyelids, revealing a pair of huge turquoise eyes.
Every nerve in the Zunesha's eyeball is emitting a meaning.
'Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!--'
For this lonely old elephant, who had been tortured for hundreds of years and had not communicated with humans for almost a few centuries, the sweetness of this "flying ice cream" spread from its mouth to the depths of its heart.
Matching the enormous size of Zunesha is the "intensity" of the sound it emits.
Even in spiritual communication, the voice that Zunesha can utter is incredibly powerful!
Storm was Zunesha by Zunesha's sudden and intense reaction, and was forced to deactivate his [Observation Haki].
Even so, he still frowned and subconsciously rubbed his earlobe.
"What a loud sound..."
"Is there?"
Luo looked around, but could only hear the howling wind.
As for Zunesha?
After eating that ice cream, the giant elephant stood frozen in place, as if it had been frozen in place.
If I didn't know Storm's character...
Luo was starting to suspect that his Captain might have put some kind of super-powerful ingredient in that "flying ice cream."
And just then...
Suddenly, the Zunesha started moving, bouncing around like a child tasting candy for the first time.
However, due to Zunesha enormous size, its four thick, pillar-like legs churned in the ocean of the New World, and every time it lifted its leg or stomped its foot, it caused a deafening roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!--
Law, Bepo, and Robin all simultaneously covered their ears.
The group looked at Storm with a mixture of awe and bewilderment.
So, Captain, did you just see the future?!
Unlike Luo and his group, who only found the sound deafening.
The Zunesha's sudden "rampage".
In Luo and his companions' eyes, it was simply that the old elephant had inexplicably "gone mad."
But for other creatures around them, Zunesha's "rampage" was pure disaster!
Not to mention the poor marine creatures deep in the New World's oceans, trampled into mincemeat under the feet of Zunesha.
The back of the Zunesha, the Kingdom of Zou.
This Mink Tribe kingdom, far from the sea, was struck by a "super earthquake" unlike anything seen in centuries.
"Ooh!"
"Oops!"
"The building is collapsing! Get out of all buildings immediately!"
"Trees! Hold onto the trees around you! Don't get shaken off!"
"What happened? Has something happened to Zunesha? This sudden tremor!"
The once peaceful and harmonious Kingdom of Zou is now plunged into chaos.
At this moment, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had already flown to an altitude of ten thousand meters, reaching the height of the Zou Kingdom.
Storm and the others also witnessed the chaos in the Kingdom of Zou.
"Captain!" Bepo called out immediately.
Law instinctively looked over, only to find that Bepo's gaze wasn't on him, but on Storm.
A strange, bittersweet feeling welled up in Luo's heart.
I was here first...
Storm didn't notice Bepo's call or Law's indignant desire to "kill all the minotaurs in the sea."
Because even before Bepo called out, Storm had already activated [Observation Haki] again.
The ability to "Hear the Voice of All Things" was activated once again, and Storm reconnected with the spiritual consciousness of Zunesha.
'Zunesha! Zunesha! Calm down!'
Perhaps it was because the impact of that "flying ice cream" was too great.
Zunesha was still there, stomping its feet frantically.
So delicious, I'll stomp my feet!
To put it bluntly...
The symptoms Zunesha currently experiencing are far more severe than those of Big Mom during her Hunger Pangs!
Just how much suffering did this poor elephant endure?
I can't stand even the slightest bit of sweetness.
"Well..."
Storm sighed and looked at Law, Bepo, and Robin.
"I'll go downstairs first and calm the Zunesha down before we talk about it."
Luo and his companions had no objection to the Captain's instructions.
Storm leaped off the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, unleashing the power of the [Clay Ring] without reservation.
In an instant, he transformed into "Clay Nika Form"!
Transformation - Clay Nika Form!
"I don't think I've seen the Captain use this ability before..."
Robin frowned as he looked at Storm's new look.
"But is this 'transformation' ability truly something that Paramecia Devil Fruit can possess?"
Luo stared intently at Storm, his mind filled with doubt.
He had never seen Storm's "Clay Nika Form" before, but he keenly noticed many details about Storm's new form—those special patterns that resembled the swirling patterns on the surface of Devil Fruit.
Without a doubt.
This must be the power of Devil Fruit!
Only...
The questions surrounding Law and Robin remain unanswered.
Bepo's exclamation brought them both back to their attention.
"Captain! It's huge!"
Robin and Law stared intently, only to see that Storm's body, floating in mid-air, was growing larger and larger, like an inflating balloon.
It seemed to happen in just a fleeting moment.
Storm then swelled into a giant nearly thirty meters tall!
Thirty meters—even elite giant warriors like Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry didn't have such a massive size.
But this is merely Storm's "second transformation" --
Second Transformation: Clay Nika Giant Form!
To the average person, a 30-meter-tall giant would be an incredibly terrifying monster.
But compared to Zunesha, a mere thirty meters in height is utterly insignificant!
Therefore, Storm directly underwent a "three-stage transformation".
[More-More Fruit - 1000x Size Increase]!
Boom!
An incomparably powerful aura erupted from Storm's body, and his gigantic body expanded at an alarming rate.
Fifty meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters...
A few breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
Storm's height has now surpassed 10,000 meters!
10,000 meters, 20,000 meters...
Until the very end.
Storm transformed from his normal size into a super Clay Giant over 30,000 meters tall.
Three-stage transformation - 10,000-meter Clay Nika!
Rumble!
Storm's body crashed heavily onto the ocean of the New World, causing a violent upheaval no less intense than that caused by Zunesha's rampage, as if the entire ocean was trembling in anticipation of his arrival.
Gazing at the ten-thousand-meter-tall giant that suddenly appeared on the sea, Robin, Law, Bepo, and the other Mink Tribe members of the Zou Kingdom all lost their ability to speak at that moment.
"Aba aba..."
This, perhaps, is God?
With his feet on the sea and his head in the sky, Storm's line of sight not only surpassed that of Zunesha, but even exceeded it!
Even the berserk Zunesha could not ignore such a huge figure that suddenly appeared.
The Zunesha's green eyes locked onto the white figure in front of it, and then its pupils contracted sharply.
"Hmph--"
An earth-shattering cry rang out from Zunesha's mouth.
At the same time, its consciousness instantly connected with the ten-thousand-meter giant in front of it.
'Joey Boy! You're back!'
'Have you finally calmed down?'
Storm stretched his limbs, briefly adjusting to his enormous size, then raised his right hand and slapped Zunesha on the forehead.
'I am not Joey Boy! I am Vongola Storm! Zunesha!'
'Yes! Yes! You're not Joey Boy!'
The Zunesha savored the sweetness of the "flying ice cream" he had just eaten.
'You're even better than Joey Boy! Vongola, you're a good person! You're my best friend!'
... ah?
Storm tilted his head.
Can an ice cream cone really subdue Zunesha?
Did he trigger some incredible new ability?
It evokes a sense of a bygone era where "you casually grill a skewer of meat and unexpectedly tame a giant dragon."
Bang! Bang!
Storm gently patted Zunesha's forehead.
But even this soothing gesture, given the immense size of the human and the elephant, contains a terrifying power unimaginable to mortals.
"In short, calm down first. I'll give you other food later. Don't be naughty like you were today."
'Yes, Vongola.'
Call me Storm.
'Yes, Storm.'
Storm completely calmed Zunesha down and then reverted to his "Giant" form.
For him, the deterrent effect of this "ten-thousand-meter giant form" far outweighs its practical combat effectiveness.
This ability is only needed to deal with Zunesha.
Storm still wants to be a normal person.
When the Zunesha saw that "Nika" had disappeared, it couldn't help but blink.
'Storm! That form you just used... it was exactly the same as Joey Boy's Sun God form!'
'I don't know either. This new form just appeared after Devil Fruit were developed to a certain level.'
While answering Zunesha's questions, Storm returned to the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon using [Claywork: Falling Clay].
' Zunesha, haven't you seen a similar form before?'
Zunesha's reply came quickly: 'No, I've never seen anyone else possess this ability besides Joey Boy, not even Imu.'
'Imu? You know of Imu's existence?'
'Yes, she's Joey Boy's enemy, a despicable thief! But I haven't seen Imu for hundreds of years; she might be dead, or she might... have achieved immortality.'
Second update.
It's past three o'clock...
But a little earlier than yesterday?
Goodnight everyone
