Fish-Man Karate: Rumble Style - Heavy Water Thunderstorm!
Sig made a "throwing" motion, and a massive amount of Sea Power, like real waves, surged forward in a large fan shape...
At the same time, it also activated the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, unleashing a surge of lightning that, along with a powerful wave of water, rushed towards the opponent.
Soft Sword - Wheel of the Heart!
The Momonga still held the sword with both hands, but this time it was using its left hand to generate power and its right hand as the axis. The sword force was very soft and ethereal. With a twist of its body like a golfer, the flying Momonga's slash did not collide head-on with Sig's lightning water, but instead drew a circle and was guided to the surrounding area, leaving the center unaffected.
By this time, Sig had roughly figured out the intricacies of the Momonga's Swordsmanship —when the right hand exerts force and the left hand assists, it is called "hard sword," characterized by powerful, sweeping, and expansive moves; when the left hand exerts force and the right hand assists, it is called "Soft Sword," which uses softness to overcome hardness and skill to achieve victory...
"As expected of a top-tier swordsman, aside from not yet having his own 'Black Blade,' his Swordsmanship has reached its peak... Let's try this move then!"
Thunder Beast - Thunder Leopard Walk!
With a wave of his arm, Sig conjured six ferocious leopards formed from lightning, which then galloped toward the Momonga opposite him.
They appear to be preying on humans, but upon closer inspection, one can see that each of the six leopards holds a miniature trident in its mouth...
The Momonga wouldn't have paid much attention to beasts made of lightning, but he did notice the tridents the size of daggers and repeatedly swung his sword to parry the lightning leopards.
Otherwise, judging from their previous encounters, Sig's ability to "appear out of thin air" at the location of the trident... in principle, the Momonga realized it was Elementalization, but he didn't understand how Sig controlled such a high speed!
Even Kizaru, who possesses the Glint-Glint Fruit, cannot truly move at the speed of light. There's no reason why the Lightning-Lightning Fruit wouldn't have this limitation, right?
While unleashing the "Thunder Leopard Walk," Sig confidently adopted a stance for a straight punch!
As expected, the Thunder Leopard was easily shattered, but the Trident remained embedded around the Momonga. While the last Thunder Leopard was being destroyed, the Momonga also focused its attention on the Trident behind and around it.
However, in that instant, with Flash of Lightning, Sig suddenly appeared right in front of the Momonga.
Fish-Man Karate: Rumble-Rumble Fruit Three Thousand Welas True Punch!
A fist crackling with electricity slammed into the Momonga.
There was no time to block. Even though the Momonga used Armament Haki to harden its body, it was still hit by a punch that broke through its defenses. The fist sank deep into the Momonga's abdomen, and the Momonga crashed into the Captain's cabin amidst sparks and Inazuma.
Sig clearly wasn't going to give the Momonga any time to react, and immediately struck another "Sea Current Shoulder Throw" pose, but with a much larger swing of his hips.
Fish-Man Jujutsu - Dragon Dance...
The water jet that Sig "swung" was thicker and longer than a simple "Sea Current Shoulder Throw," and his hands, inserted into it, formed a ferocious dragon head as he swung around.
Double Thunder Horns...
Then Sig's arm transformed into electricity, and the water dragon was instantly enveloped in electric light. At the same time, two horns of ion beams sprouted from the dragon's head.
Thunder Dragon Wild Dance!
Combining Fish-Man Jujutsu with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, "Thunder Dragon" instantly charged towards the Momonga with its arms transformed into lightning and a throwing motion, smashing a large hole in it.
Although the situation is still unsettled, Sig's Observation Haki has locked onto his hostile emotions!
"The Soft Sword... The Great Despiser Slash!"
On the warship, the Thunder Dragon roared past, but what met it was a slash that almost sliced the deck in two.
Vice Admiral Momonga gripped the sword hilt with both hands simultaneously, and this time swung the sword vertically from top to bottom without any deviation to the left or right!
With a full-force strike, the thunder dragon was cleaved in two.
Another piece of evidence that the Momonga was using its full power was that it had started calling out the names of its moves...
Sig didn't expect that "Thunder Dragon Wild Dance" could directly defeat Momonga. This attack technique, which directly utilizes the Elementalization power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, is powerful and impressive, but from the perspective of Devil Fruit Development, it is relatively rudimentary.
Logia Devil Fruit users can easily wipe out groups of weaklings in the early stages, but this basic application is less effective in high-level situations!
Therefore, when Sig was developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities, he focused on "body training" and "instant teleportation." As for the various lightning techniques, they were simply developed incidentally in conjunction with Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Jujutsu, without requiring much training...
Just like the Thunder Dragon Wild Dance, it's mostly to give the Momonga a buff.
Even though the Momonga tried his best to hide it, his slightly trembling eyelids still betrayed that his body had been slightly affected by the lightning.
Although there was no injury yet, the nerves had already begun to spasm from the electric shock.
Even Enel, who had already developed his Devil Fruit ability long ago and had just met Luffy in the original work, might not have been a match for Momonga. Sig's ability to appear to have the upper hand on the field was a result of the combination of his various abilities and the sheer speed of his "teleportation".
Meanwhile, Sig wasn't idle either. He unleashed another "Thunder Leopard Walk," and one after another, thunder leopards, almost tangible, raced forward, picking up the six tridents and heading towards the Momonga...
It's not that these Sig's original Elementalization form, the Thunder Leopard, can actually make stable contact with matter. It looks like it's being held in its mouth, but in reality, it's the corresponding "electromagnetic force" that "attracts" the trident to its mouth.
If you look closely, you'll see that Sig first Elementalization his arm, then the Elementalization arm transformed into a Thunder Leopard that was still connected to his body. Only after the Thunder Leopard picked up the trident did it run independently towards the Momonga.
What appear to be "strange hidden weapons" actually reveal, upon closer inspection, that each trident's three points contain three intersecting magnetic pointers—one blank, Eternal Pose in the center, and two normal, Record Log Pose on either side that maintain the current magnetic field...
The three pointers intertwine and are simultaneously attached to by Sig's own electric field, forming electromagnetic field coordinates that Sig can sense. This allows Sig to instantly lock onto and appear at the location of the "Trident"!
To facilitate integration into the environment and to prevent damage, Sig covered the outside with metal and packaged them in the shape of miniature tridents.
Having acquired the skills in "Thunder Metallurgy" and "electroplating," Sig was able to complete this process independently after becoming proficient.
There are two ways to mark the "trident". One is to use the Elementalization body to "electrify" it. The speed at which the mark disappears is related to time. After being "electrified", it can last for 3.6 seconds, regardless of distance. The other is to wrap it with Sig's unique Armament Haki. The mark will remain during the wrapping. It is affected by the "Armament Haki Infusion" ability and cannot last too long or be too far away. However, at close range, the duration is longer than the former.
The six thunder leopards weren't there to attack, but rather to create a coordinate system around the Momonga squirrel that allowed it to "teleport."
Sig vaguely grasped a water sphere in his right hand, and as lightning crackled and surged within it, the sphere emitted an increasingly dazzling light. Meanwhile, the Momonga held its sword upright at its center, ignoring the thunder leopard charging towards it, and instead closed its eyes...
