The Strongest Power Was Science: The True Use of the Cloud Cloud Fruit!
"Heh~"
Monet, who was staring at Perona and the others, suddenly let out a cold laugh, as if he were disdainful of what they had said.
Nami didn't mind and said, "Get out of the way, or we'll be rude!"
If this guy knew what was good for him, they wouldn't bother with him.
If she doesn't know what's good for her... then kill her!
"That won't do~" Monet tilted her head and said with a smile, "I can't let you leave here just like that, or my master will kill me~"
These children are Caesar's most important experimental subjects; there is absolutely no room for error!
Therefore... she will not allow the Straw Hat Pirates to take these children away!
"It seems we have no choice but to take action," Nami said.
"You guys can give it a try~"
After saying that, Monet increased his power output without hesitation, making the ice and snow Biscuit House even more intense.
She was determined to use her own power to keep these guys here forever!
After staring at Monet for a while, Nico Robin turned to Usopp and Brook and said, "Usopp, Brook, the task of finding the Seastone Handcuffs is yours. I'll stay here to protect the children."
"Hailushi's handcuffs?" Usopp was stunned for a moment, and then asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking for this?"
"This is what Luffy requested," Nico Robin said. "Probably to capture Caesar."
They had previously suffered because they didn't have Seastone Handcuffs, which gave Caesar an opportunity to take advantage of them.
So this time, they won't give that guy another chance!!
"Okay, I understand." Usopp nodded, understanding Nico Robin's meaning, and said, "I'll go with Brook to find that thing."
After saying that, Usopp and Brook ran off into the distance together.
"I'll go too!" Kin'emon said anxiously, "I must find Momonosuke!"
"Okay, let's go together then!"
Usopp called out, and then the three of them ran back the way they came, intending to find the handcuffs in another room.
As for Momonosuke?
Although we don't know if we'll be able to find them, since we're here, let's help look for them together.
After watching the group leave, Nicole Robin and the others turned their attention to Monet was still in mid-air.
"Execute according to the original plan!"
"As for this guy..." Nami stepped forward and said, "I'll stop him!"
Upon hearing this, the others were momentarily stunned.
However, upon realizing that Nami was Devil Fruit User, the others calmed down again.
"Okay, then it's up to you," Nico Robin said.
After saying that, Nico Robin rushed towards Mocha without hesitation, saying, "Mocha, follow us and run to the side. We'll leave together through the front door!"
"I... I understand!"
Having received the signal, Mocha moved swiftly, running to the side and quickly shaking off the several enormous children.
Nico Robin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then called out, "Perona, keep up!"
"They're here!"
Upon hearing this, Perona quickly gave chase, shouting, "Nami, you absolutely mustn't die!"
"Don't worry, I won't die!"
"Heh, is that so?"
After glancing at Mocha, who was rushing to the side with Nico Robin and the others, Monet turned her gaze back to Nami and said, "So confident?"
"Could it be... that you possess Haki?"
No, that's not true.
Nami said, "At least I can't use it to fight right now."
While it's convenient to use it to attack one's own people, it's unusable in actual combat.
"Then how confident are you that you can stop me?" Monet tilted his head and said, "Because you're also Logia user?"
"Don't forget, clouds aren't very dangerous; they're nowhere near as effective as my snow!"
As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on Monet's face, clearly showing his great confidence in his abilities.
Clouds... are no match for snow!
"That's not necessarily true," Nami said with a sneer. "Perhaps my power can destroy you."
Upon hearing this, Monet immediately laughed, and his laughter grew louder and louder.
He looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Nami simply gave another cold laugh and said something to Monet.
Then, she glanced back at Zoro, who was still standing there, and said, "Zoro, you take them and go first. Leave this to me."
Zoro didn't say anything, but stared intently at Nami.
Seeing that Nami's gaze remained unwavering, he didn't hesitate to chase after Nico Robin and the others, saying, "I understand."
Seeing this, Monet didn't stop them immediately. Instead, she looked at Nami with some curiosity and said, "He's probably the only one among you who knows how to be Haki."
"You're just going to let him go like that?"
"That's right." Nami nodded without hesitation, "Because I can defeat you on my own, so I don't need Zoro's help."
"Heh, then give it a try."
After letting out a cold laugh, Monet's body turned into ice and snow and disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing this, Nami's pupils contracted instantly, and she unleashed her Devil Fruit power without hesitation.
A massive cloud burst forth from Nami's body, rapidly engulfing the direction Zoro and his companions had fled.
The next moment...
"Puff!"
A sharp Ice Cone pierced through Nami's body, creating a large hole in it.
Then, Monet appeared beside Nami and sneered, "You think something like this can stop me?"
Glancing at the Cloud Wall that had been erected in the distance, Monet continued, "Don't be so naive, Cat Burglar!"
"My ice and snow are everywhere!"
"I'll say the same to you!" Nami snorted and said, "My clouds can be everywhere too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nami's body exploded, transforming into countless clouds that quickly merged with the clouds she had previously released!
To Monet's surprise, some of the clouds had frozen into hard lumps and fallen to the ground due to the ice and snow.
Monet was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, I know... I know!"
"Even though you're Logia cloud, you can be frozen by my ice and snow abilities!"
As he spoke, Monet was also searching for Nami's true form, hoping to freeze her completely in one strike!
You're right.
Nami, who appeared on the Cloud Wall, looked at Monet expressionlessly and said, "Your ice and snow can indeed freeze the moisture in my clouds."
"But... if the cloud temperature is high enough, your ability will be ineffective!"
"Invalid?"
Monet sneered and said, "How arrogant!"
If the opponent's ability is related to fire, she really needs to be wary.
Unfortunately, the other party is Yun!
Nami didn't say anything more, and simply calmly dispelled the Cloud Wall behind her.
"Um?"
Looking at Monet behind Nami, she frowned and asked, "Where did they all go?"
Did these people run that fast?
"I simply used a cloud to send them out," Nami said.
The moment the Cloud Wall and cloud formation appeared, Perona understood what Nami was planning, and without hesitation, she used the Negative Ghost to take down the children.
Then, the clouds appeared beside the children, lifted them up, and quickly left the Biscuit House.
As for what happens after we leave?
Once we're outside, it's naturally up to Zoro and the others to handle!
What she needs to do now is defeat this Snow-Snow Fruit User right here!
"You really dare to do that, you bastard." Monet's expression hardened as he said, "You really think you can rescue those children?"
How will you know if you don't try?
Monet fell silent upon hearing this, then suddenly flapped her wings and launched an attack on Nami without hesitation.
The next moment, several snow blades shot out towards Nami like arrows.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Upon seeing Nami's attack, she quickly used the power of her Cloud Cloud Fruit to relocate herself.
When it reappears, it will be in the center.
Then, Nami raised her arms and began to manipulate the two differently colored clouds that she had created in advance on either side!
One was Cold Cloud with a frosty white hue, while the other was a hot cloud wrapped in an orange-red glow!
The two halos landed on the left and right sides of the Biscuit House, respectively.
Upon seeing this, Monet instinctively stopped what he was doing.
"Hot clouds?"
Looking at the hot clouds that were constantly melting his snowflakes, several question marks immediately popped into Monet's head.
No, why would heat clouds exist in this world?
"That's right, it's a heat cloud!" Nami exclaimed with a smile. "This is the power of science!"
And the power of science is the strongest!
With her extensive knowledge of special weather conditions, she is fully capable of making the most of Cloud Cloud Fruit!
"The power of science?"
Monet frowned and said, "You're saying this to me?"
She was Caesar's constant assistant, someone who was in constant contact with technology!
In this situation, should the other person talk to her about technology?
Isn't this a bit like showing off one's limited skills before an expert?
"You think you can master the mysteries of the weather just because you learned a few things from Caesar?" Nami said. "You're far from it!"
Nami could tell the level of this woman named Monet just by looking at her opponent's performance.
At least in terms of weather science, she's far too inadequate!
After letting out a cold laugh, Nami raised her left hand and began manipulating the cloud of cold air on her left.
The next moment...
"Buzz~"
"Boom!!"
The moment the Cold Cloud landed, the air on the left side was rapidly cooled!
As the density increases and the material becomes heavier, it quickly accumulates on the left side, forming a regional high-pressure zone!
Then, Nami raised her right hand again and began to manipulate the heat cloud on her right to release heat.
It was precisely because of the thermal clouds that the air on the right side began to warm up and become lighter, rising and spreading continuously, eventually forming a regional low-pressure area!
In that instant, the air pressure balance inside the room was completely broken. Following the rule that air flows from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, the cold air on the left began to flow towards the hot area on the right!
The ice and snow inside the house were also carried by this gentle airflow due to this force, drifting towards the right side of the house.
"Um?"
Monet's expression changed upon sensing something was wrong, and he then threw the two Ice Cone from the Bird Claw without hesitation.
"Whoosh~"
"Buzz~"
"Boom!!"
"Varied...?!"
Watching the Ice Cone graz Nami and fly behind her, several question marks immediately popped into Monet's head.
Did it miss?
No... it's the moving air that's affecting it!
Upon realizing what had just happened, Monet's pupils shrank to their smallest size.
Then, she said in disbelief, "You can actually do something like this with two clouds?"
Creating wind from clouds?
Is this reasonable?
"This is just the beginning," Nami said, squinting at Monet. "The real show is yet to come."
What's so special about creating wind?
The Cloud Cloud Fruit is capable of creating miracles in her hands!
"Snort."
Having calmed down, Monet snorted and said, "Although I don't know what else you plan to do, it's all in vain in the face of absolute cold!"
After saying this, Monet flapped his wings and flew into the air, creating a large number of Ice and Snow Blade at the same time.
Then, without any mercy, he struck Nami.
"Go to hell!"
However, Nami did not show any panic in the face of such an attack, and instead raised two fingers with a smile.
The next moment, the two clouds with different temperatures began to vibrate!
Under the influence of the Cloud Cloud Fruit's power, the air pressure in the area where the Cold Cloud was located increased again, which also made the driving force of the cold air stronger!
The cloud cluster containing the heat cloud released even more terrifying heat, causing the atmospheric pressure in the region to drop again.
Under the influence of the two air pressures, the wind speed, which was originally relatively gentle, suddenly began to increase!
"It's time~" Nami said with a smile.
After saying that, Nami did not hesitate to use the power of the Cloud Cloud Fruit to add a rotational guide to the flowing air.
The next moment...
"Buzz~"
"Boom!!"
A small, visible vortex appeared in front of Nami!
The vortex had a very strong suction force, and almost instantly it sucked the surrounding wind and snow into the vortex!
At the same time... it also destroyed the Ice and Snow Blade that Monet attacked!
After glancing at the destroyed Blizzard Blade, Nami smiled and said, "Now... do you understand?"
She can do this by utilizing the properties of atmospheric pressure!
"I don't know what's wrong with you, but if I use enough ice and snow, I should be able to destroy your vortex," Monet said.
After saying that, Monet used the power of her Devil Fruit without hesitation to create more ice and snow, and at the same time, she created an Ice and Snow Wall.
Then, she focused her gaze on the cloud clusters on either side.
'Those two clouds must be the key to the Cat Burglar's ability,' Monet thought to herself. 'In that case... I'll use this wall of ice and snow to distract the Cat Burglar, and then find an opportunity to destroy those two clouds!'
With that in mind, Monet increased his power output again, making the Ice and Snow Wall in front of him even larger!
After doing this, Monet planned to use his Elementalization to launch a surprise attack and freeze the two clouds.
But before she could even make a move, she discovered that the two clouds had undergone another astonishing change!
"This... this is?!"
