Battle Between Behemoths, the Weak Weren't Even Qualified to Approach!

"That guy is...?"

Tyrant Bear, standing in the shadows, stared in astonishment at the enormous creature in the distance.

Subconsciously, he took out the Straw Hat Pirates ' Wanted Order, opened the one belonging to Xi Yan, and after comparing it, found that it was indeed the same person.

"This Ninja can not only use Ninjutsu, but also grow to such a huge size...?" Xiong murmured.

This discovery truly shocked him.

"Is this also Ninjutsu?"

"Or... Devil Fruit User?"

At this moment, Xiong developed a very strong interest in Xi Yan.

"Ah?!"

Who is it?

Hearing someone call his name, Oars put down what he was holding, stood up, and glanced back.

When he saw Xi Yan clearly, he was stunned, then exclaimed excitedly, "Eh?!?!"

"It's a giant!!"

He looked as if he had seen a family member; he was incredibly excited.

Xi Yan:...

Seeing the excited Oars, Xi Yan was speechless for a moment.

"Hey, giant, why aren't you saying anything?"

"You're a giant yourself, okay?" Xi Yan retorted.

"Oh, right~" Oars realized, nodded, and said, "I'm a Titan too."

His memory was a bit hazy; he had actually forgotten that he was a giant.

After shaking his head, Oars said, "Since we are all Titans... then aren't we... family?!"

As he spoke, Oars revealed an excited expression, which made Xi Yan's eyelids twitch.

Being stared at excitedly by a zombie who claimed to be his family member, the feeling was rather complicated.

"Who's family with you?" Xi Yan said disdainfully, "I'm Ninja, not some giant."

However, to Xi Yan's surprise, the other party was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, they became even more excited.

"Eh, Ninja?!"

"Xi Yan, show me your Genin!"

"West..."

"Huh?"

"Who is Xi Yan?"

Oars blinked, then fell into deep thought. Who was this person he had so bluntly asked?

Seeing Oars's reaction, Xi Yan nodded.

Although the other party still remembered some things, their memory was clearly fading, which was similar to his previous guess.

"Xi Yan is me," Xi Yan said. "Your memory is correct; you do know me."

"Well, to be precise, it's the owner of your shadow."

"What strange things are you saying?" Oars frowned at Xi Yan and said, "I don't know you."

"It's alright, it's enough that I know you." Xi Yan grinned and said, "After all, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time."

After speaking, Xi Yan glanced at the forest where his friends were. It was far away from here, so fighting here wouldn't hurt them.

Thinking this, Xi Yan nodded, then roared, "You Luffy, take this punch!!"

After letting out a loud roar, Xi Yan immediately strode towards Oars and threw a punch!

"Roar!"

Seeing this, Oars raised his fist and retaliated fiercely.

He didn't know why the giant in front of him was attacking him, but... he wouldn't just sit and wait to die!

"Bump!!"

The two enormous fists collided violently, immediately generating a terrifying shockwave!

"Boom!!"

"Ah!!"

The zombies nearby were thrown back by the force and slammed into the distance.

The zombies that were further away fled in a frenzy, their faces filled with terror.

"Monster battle!"

"Everyone, run!!"

"Don't enter their attack range, or you'll really die from the zombies!!"

The zombies went berserk, terrified that these two Evil Star would punch them again, and ran as fast as they could.

As the weaker party, they didn't even have the right to approach the two giants.

"This... is this Xi Yan?!"

In the distance, through the windows of a massive skyscraper, Sanji and the others stared in disbelief at Xi Yan's retreating figure.

This man has grown so big?

"No wonder he said he could deal with Oars ..." Nami said.

Nami glanced at the broken glass from their punches and swallowed hard.

If a punch with that kind of power landed on her, it would definitely kill her in one blow.

"So... so handsome!!"

"Is this also Ninjutsu?!"

Luffy and Chopper both watched Xi Yan's retreating figure with excited expressions. Becoming a giant was practically a dream come true!!

I never imagined that Xi Yan could do that using only Ninjutsu! That's incredible!!

"I now believe he can defeat that zombie..." Lola said, swallowing hard.

His enormous size was just like that of the Giant Clan prince.

The power of that punch was truly terrifying.

"Ninja Bro, so cool!!"

Ai Ke and the others exchanged glances, then burst into laughter. Having such a powerful friend was the greatest fortune in their lives!

"If I heard correctly... did Xi Yan just say Luffy's name?" Merry suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped talking and turned to look at Luffy was still laughing excitedly to the side.

"Um?"

"What's wrong?"

"What else happened? How did you manage to provoke Xi Yan?" Sanji retorted. "Xi Yan clearly treated that guy like you were the one who got beaten up..."

As they talked, Sanji's eyes lit up; he was also somewhat tempted to beat up Luffy.

Damn it, I should have applied to go with Xi Yan to fight that giant.

While his attacks might not always be effective, he can still play a support role!

"I... I don't know..." Luffy said weakly.

He didn't intentionally anger Xi Yan, so why would Xi Yan want to beat him up?

"Hey, let alone Xi Yan, I want to beat this guy up myself," Nami said.

"Huh?!" Chopper looked at Nami in shock and said, "Nami, don't you always just attack Luffy directly?"

"This is different."

Nami looked at the enormous creature in the distance, grinned, and said, "This one can be killed."

Chopper:...

So that's the main point?

"It's alright, Luffy. After Xi Yan kills him this time, he won't hit you anymore," Nico Robin teased.

Lola's lips twitched upon hearing this; was this some kind of attempt to scare the Straw Hat?

Luffy:...

Although I don't know why Xi Yan wanted to beat him up, that's not the time to think about that. I should go and beat up Moria first.

With that thought in mind, Luffy immediately banished those ideas and charged forward with a roar.

"Moria, get out here!"

"Let's go, the battle for Xi Yan has begun, we need to step up our efforts."

"Profound!"

Lola glanced one last time at Xi Yan's retreating figure, feeling a pang of emotion. She knew that a pirate crew like this would inevitably cause a huge stir once they entered the New World!

"Hahaha, it's been so long since I've met someone who can punch me!" Oars suddenly burst into excited laughter and said, "That was exhilarating!!"

After saying that, Oars suddenly paused, then murmured, "Fist bump..."

Strange, he clearly felt like it had been a long time since anyone had punched him, but why did he have the feeling that he had just fought someone not long ago?

"Don't think about anything else. What you need to consider now is how to defeat me."

"Otherwise..." Xi Yan grinned, "you might die~"

Xi Yan really likes these zombies that are impossible to kill; they're perfect punching bags!

"That won't do." Oars withdrew his fist and grinned, "I'm going to be the Pirate King, I can't die here."

So... I'll defeat you first!

"Rubber..."

"Pistol!!"

Oars roared and threw a powerful punch straight at Xi Yan.

But after only throwing half the punch, his fist stopped, failing to touch Xi Yan.

"Huh?!!"

"That's strange... I clearly remember my fist could extend..."

Am I mistaken?

Oars stared at his fist, completely bewildered.

Xi Yan:...

Luffy was already pretty silly, but after this guy, he seems even sillier.

After shaking his head, Xi Yan kicked him!

"Bump!"

The immense force sent Oars flying backward, crashing into the forest behind him.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The massive body, tens of meters tall, slammed heavily into the ground, creating another shockwave that uprooted and sent all the surrounding trees flying!

"You bastard, how dare you kick me, you..."

Before Oars could finish speaking, he saw Xi Yan jump over and deliver an elbow strike to him.

"Take this elbow strike!!"

Oars's expression changed, and he immediately rolled to the side, dodging the attack.

"Boom!!"

Oars escaped, but the earth suffered.

This single blow created a huge crater in the ground!

Looking at the large crater he had created, Xi Yan figured this island should be quite resilient, and supporting the two of them to finish the job shouldn't be a problem.

Then, Xi Yan stood up, glanced at Oars, and said, "Tsk, he runs pretty fast."

That donkey roll was pretty impressive; he dodged his own elbow strike in one go.

"Elbow strike..." Oars said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

As he spoke, Oars's single eye lit up, as if he had discovered something interesting.

The next moment, Oars moved swiftly.

He strode heavily toward Xi Yan, raising his arm as he did so.

"Giant Beast Elbow Strike!!"

"I..."

"Ha, take this sweeping leg kick!"

Xi Yan sneered, ducked to avoid Oars's elbow strike, and at the same time swept his leg across Oars's shin.

"Bump!!"

"Uh... I lost my balance..."

Struck in the leg by Xi Yan's attack, Oars's legs buckled uncontrollably, and he slammed heavily to the ground.

"This is the price of not training your legs!" Xi Yan commented, arms crossed.

"Huh?!!"

"Is that really how it is?!" the zombie in the distance exclaimed in shock.

As they spoke, they glanced at Oars lying on the ground. His body looked incredibly large, but his legs looked incredibly slender, which was indeed disproportionate.

"Damn it, they actually hit me like that..."

"Why wouldn't I target such an obvious weakness of yours?" Xi Yan retorted.

This guy clearly concentrated all his strength in his upper body during training. To deal with him, just break his legs.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan grinned, his eyes gradually brightening.

"What are you going to do..." Oars immediately got up, looking at Xi Yan.

For some reason, the other person's smile suddenly became terrifying in his eyes, as if a horrifying demon was smiling at him.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to break your legs."

"Huh?!!"

"You're so scary!!"

"Enough nonsense! We're enemies now, do you expect me to go easy on you?!" Xi Yan roared, "Luffy, you bastard, take this!"

As he spoke, Xi Yan jumped up and delivered a flying kick.

"My name isn't Luffy!!"

"My name is... Oars!!"

Enraged, Oars raised his foot and kicked Xi Yan hard, and the two exchanged blows in mid-air.

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderbolt striking the island!

The next moment, the two people who had landed on the ground charged at each other again, engaging in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat.

"Yura yura yura!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Every fist bump was like a thunderclap!

"This... this is like two monsters fighting..."

Moria, observing this scene from the viewing window, was filled with shock.

He never dreamed that the Ninja mastered several elemental attacks could actually grow his body to such a gigantic size... How did he do that?

Did he eat Devil Fruit?

Or is it because their race is special that they possess this unique power?

Watching the two colossal figures playfully punching each other, Moria murmured, "How wonderful it would be if someone like that could be my subordinate..."

For a moment, his heart was filled with envy for the Straw Hat.

Even though he was unwilling to recruit more subordinates, he was now very eager to have someone like Xi Yan.

'If they're willing to join my ranks, I might make an exception this time...' Moria murmured to himself.

Just like when Hogback and his men joined his ranks, one more person wouldn't be a bad thing.

If he can acquire this Ninja, then the day he defeats Kaido will be getting closer and closer!

Moria's eyes lit up at this thought.

Just then, Luffy's roar echoed down the corridor.

"Moria!!!"

"You bastard, get out here!!"

"Straw Hat...?"

Hearing Luffy's voice, Moria turned around, glanced at the Great Gate, and grinned.

He then stood up from the sofa and walked step by step toward the center of the room.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The tightly closed Great Gate was suddenly kicked open, Luffy rushed in.

"Moria!!"

"Ah, found you, you Fat Garlic Head!!"

Moria's lips twitched upon hearing this. What an impolite brat.

"Moria, give me back my shadow!"

"Straw Hat, it's not impossible to give your shadow back."

"Huh?"

Luffy, who was about to make a move, paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You're willing to give my shadow back?"

"That's right, returning all your shadows to you is no problem."

"Are you that good?"

Luffy looked at Moria with a suspicious gaze. Moria had just stolen the shadow, and he was already willing to return it?

Is this possible?

"Wait, let me finish," Moria grinned. "I have conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

"I want someone!!" Moria held up one finger and said, "I want that Ninja. If you're willing to let him join my ranks, I'll give him back to you. Don't worry, I'll treat him sincerely, and I'll also let you go..."

Before Moria could finish speaking, he noticed Luffy placing his hands on his legs and then pressing them down hard.

"Sizzle~"

Steam rose from Luffy's head, and Luffy expression turned ferocious.

Moria's words directly touched Luffy's sore spot!

"I won't allow anyone to lay a finger on my crew!!" Luffy roared. "Nobody!!"

"Rubber Jet Rocket Cannon!!"

"Oh no, Shadow..."

Before Moria could finish speaking, he was struck, and the twisted shadow on the ground stopped twisting because of the blow Moria received.

"Bump!!"

The blow struck Moria squarely in the abdomen, causing his eyes to bulge out. Like a cannonball, he smashed through the wall and flew away!

"Boom!!"
