Shatter the Darkness with Thunder!

As it turned out, Jiao La was right; if they had kept running, Nami's Waver would indeed have been caught by the submarine.

After all, the battery life of the two is not in the same league.

However... Nami never intended to delay for too long!

After realizing that the clouds in the sky could be used, Nami stopped running away.

"Um?"

Seeing Nami suddenly stop, the Donquixote Family soldiers all looked puzzled.

Is this... giving up?

"Could it be that her thing has lost its power?" someone tentatively suggested.

"That's definitely it!"

Another person exclaimed excitedly, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up!"

"Quickly, go! Take her down!"

Once they understood Nami's 'situation', her subordinates immediately charged towards Nami with great excitement.

But before they had gone very far, they sensed something was wrong.

Why is the sky... dark?

"Hello!"

Why is it dark?

Looking at the sky that had suddenly become overcast, several question marks simultaneously appeared above these people's heads.

Is it going to rain?

"Everyone~"

Nami slowly raised one arm, gave everyone a playful smile, and said, "It's Raiu today, remember to be careful of lightning~"

After speaking, she gently waved her arm and began to use her abilities to guide the Thunder Force in the sky.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

An incredibly terrifying bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, landing precisely on the Donquixote Family's submarine and reducing it to wreckage in a single blow!

The enemies hit above all rolled their Byakugan and sank into the sea.

This scene deeply shocked Jiao La aboard the Thousand Sunny.

Why could that woman generate thunder?

Didn't she already disable her own abilities?

How did she do that?!

"Hey, Cat Burglar!" Jiao La glared angrily at Nami and said, "How did you do that?"

"Why would you use lightning to strike my ship and my men?"

"Of course, it's because my abilities are very special," Nami said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Didn't you say you were no longer able to use your abilities?"

"That's true, but I never said I didn't create the cloud beforehand~" Nami said with a smile.

At this moment, Nami was incredibly grateful for her past caution.

If she hadn't created a cloud beforehand, they would be completely helpless now.

"Pre-emptively creating cloud clusters?"

Jiao La paused for a moment, then his face darkened. "So, you knew all along that we'd come here to find you?"

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the other side would create the cloud formation in advance.

This time, Nami didn't explain, but simply gave Jiao La a mysterious smile.

But this appearance, ironically, confirmed Jiao La's suspicions.

"Truly a cunning Cat Burglar," Jiao La said through gritted teeth.

That's right. If the other party didn't even have that much brains, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for their young master.

"Alright, now it's your turn."

Nami raised her arm and pointed at Jiao La, saying, "What follows will be my strongest attack."

Upon hearing this, Jiao La's expression immediately changed.

Although she didn't know how powerful the opponent's strongest attack would be, she didn't believe her body was as tough as a submarine.

Therefore... I absolutely cannot take this blow lightly!

With that in mind, Jiao La didn't hesitate to unleash his strongest attack form.

"Let me show you my greatest art!" Jiao La roared, "The Art of Heaven!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, a large amount of Art gas appeared around Jiao La and quickly flew towards her and the sky.

Then, Jiao La's body slowly rose into the air, looking as if it were about to transform into something special.

Upon seeing this, Nami hesitated for a moment and then abandoned the idea of launching an attack directly.

After all, using this tactic on the Thousand Sunny could potentially destroy the ship, so it's best to get the other party off the ship.

However, her instincts told her that she had to get back to the pirate ship quickly, so she shouted to Brook and Chopper to go back to the ship first, and at the same time she rushed towards the pirate ship herself.

After all three returned to the ship, Jiao La had completely disappeared.

"Cat Burglar, you missed your last chance to attack me!"

Completely encased in an aura of art, Jiao La laughed and said, "Next, I'll show you what real art is!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the world changed color!

Under the influence of Jiao La's Devil Fruit power, this area was completely Jiao La into a realm of art.

The sky is invisible, the sea is invisible.

If it weren't for the unique colors of those artworks, this place might have been completely plunged into darkness.

This scene deeply shocked Nami two companions.

"What the hell is this?!"

Looking at the completely transformed area around him, Brook asked incredulously, "Why has the area changed like this?"

Where is the ocean?

What about the sky?

Where is the sunlight?

How come they're all gone?!

"Hey, look at that!"

Chopper pointed at the enormous creature in front of him with a look of horror and said, "Isn't she that woman from earlier?"

How did it become even bigger than the Giant Clan?

It's her...

Nami swallowed hard and said, "But why has she gotten so big?"

How can a body grow to such a huge size?

Does the Art Art Fruit possess such magical power?

"Miss Nami, what should we do?" Brook asked in a panic.

Even in his prime, this kind of enemy would be difficult to defeat.

"Of course."

Nami clenched her fists and said, "There's no other choice but to keep fighting!"

She could still sense the clouds outside, so... it wasn't that she couldn't fight!

"Continue?"

Jiao La burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever.

Then, she sneered, "Cat Burglar, what do you think my art is?"

"What's it to me?!" Nami snapped. "Art, art, is so annoying!"

Ever since she boarded their ship, this guy has been talking about art and all that, but... hasn't this jerk considered that his art is ugly?

It's really ugly!

"Cat Burglar, how dare you mock my art! You're asking for it!"

"You're the one who deserves to die!" Nami roared. "Feel the power of thunder!"

"Get down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck towards Jiao La, its power even greater than when it destroyed the submarine!

Jiao La's expression changed upon sensing the attack.

'I never expected this little girl could still use lightning even when I isolated her from everything...'

If that's the case, then let's see whose art is more dazzling!

With this in mind, Jiao La focused all his power on defense, intending to withstand Nami's attack head-on.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The lightning bolt that fell from the sky struck Jiao La's area with pinpoint accuracy, its terrifying power instantly destroying the domain Jiao La had created and shattering the darkness within!

Shatter the darkness with thunder!

"This is impossible!" Jiao La roared in disbelief.

Why was this little girl's Thunder Force able to destroy her artistic field?

Why?

With this thought in mind, Jiao La's body was struck by the subsequent lightning and shockwave, and he lost consciousness after a brief shudder.

After she lost consciousness, everything she had turned into art returned to its original state.

"Very good!"

"I've recovered!"

Seeing his body restored, Chopper jumped up with joy.

"Yes, it feels so good to have my bones back." Brook touched his body excitedly, then looked down and touched the Thousand Sunny, saying, "And the ship, the ship is back too."

That way, Franky and Merry won't be angry about the pirate ship anymore.

Nami, touching her now-slim waist, said, "I definitely still prefer my original figure."

As she spoke, tears even welled up in Nami's eyes.

That feeling of being turned into a picture was really unpleasant.

"Yes, I also think Miss Nami's figure was great before." Brook leaned closer and said, "Miss Nami, could I take a look at your plump figure...?"

Nami:???

"Bump!"

After punching Brook on the head, Nami opened her shark-like mouth and roared, "What the hell are you talking about, you bastard!"

"Yohohohoho~"

Brook, who had been beaten up, wasn't angry. Instead, he lay on the ground and started to feel it.

The feeling of being able to take a beating with my own body is just wonderful.

Just then, Jiao La, who had lost consciousness, fell from mid-air and landed precisely on the deck.

"Um?"

"She didn't fall into the sea..."

Nami's eyes clearly showed surprise as she looked at the unconscious woman.

The other party was just at sea, yet after losing consciousness, they ended up back on a pirate ship?

This is really...

"What should we do with this guy?" Chopper asked, looking up at Nami.

Nami thought for a moment, then said, "Let's tie her up first; maybe we can use her as leverage in our negotiations with Doflamingo."

If anything unexpected happens to Robin and his group, they can use the other side's people to negotiate.

"I agree with Miss Nami!" Brook nodded and said.

It's always good to have a backup plan.

"We'll have to use Sea Stone chains to capture her," Chopper said. "Otherwise, she'll turn the chains into art and escape."

"Yes, that's right."

Nami pointed towards the cabin and said, "Go, the Sea Stone chains are over there."

"Huh?"

Should I go?

Chopper stared at Nami in disbelief and said, "I'm Devil Fruit User."

As Devil Fruit User, he would become completely powerless if he touched Sea Stone.

"Am I not one either?" Nami said irritably.

"Yeah, you came here too..."

Chopper realized what was happening, then scratched his head and said, "Then how can the three of us, all Devil Fruit User, use Sea Stone chains?"

"Can't you use gloves, you idiot!"

"Profound..."

"Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

After watching him leave, Nami shook her head helplessly; she didn't know what to say to the kid.

After shaking her head, Nami turned her gaze towards Dressrosa.

'I wonder how things are going on their end.'

"That's a really intense fight!"

Watching the fierce battle raging on the field, Luffy remarked, "I wonder how many strong guys there are in C Area."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Cavendish said with a smile.

"That's good."

Luffy smiled, and at the same time began to look forward to the battle that was about to begin.

Right there, the host's voice came from above.

"I never expected to see a team working together on the field, it's really surprising!"

"Join forces?"

Looking at the crowd protecting King Elizabello II in the middle, Luffy asked curiously, "Is this even possible?"

Isn't that a foul?

"While it doesn't look good, teaming up in battle shouldn't be considered foul," Cavendish said. "Otherwise, someone would have intervened."

"Interesting."

Sitting to the side, Xi Yan chuckled and said, "But have they forgotten that there can only be one winner in this region?"

"I don't think they've forgotten." Cavendish smiled knowingly as he listened to Xi Yan's words. "However, eliminating the excess people first is also a good approach, at least for the weak."

This time, Xi Yan simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

As Cavendish said, for the weak, banding together is indeed a good strategy.

Then, Xi Yan turned his attention to Bartolomeo, who had been lying on the edge of the game.

"What does this kid mean?" Xi Yan asked curiously, "Is he that confident?"

Does he think that even if he lies there, no one can defeat him?

"That's just how he is," Cavendish said, looking at Bartolomeo with disdain. "He's used to being arrogant."

Cavendish then produced Bartolomeo's file and continued, "If he walks out of here alive, I'll kill him myself!"

"Why?"

"Because this guy, like the Straw Hat, is an arrogant junior who doesn't know his Highland!" Cavendish gritted teeth, "So I have to get rid of him!"

Listening to Cavendish's explanation, Luffy broke out in a cold sweat. Just how much did this guy hate them...?

Seeing Luffy's reaction, Xi Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Then you'd better keep it up, after all, these guys are all pretty fast runners~" Xi Yan chuckled.

"Hello!"

Luffy stared blankly at Xi Yan, wondering what this guy was saying.

Cavendish glanced at Luffy with a puzzled look, then grinned at Xi Yan and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely catch them."

With his strength, as long as he can catch those guys, he can wipe them all out!

Seeing Cavendish's confident demeanor, Luffy felt even more overwhelmed.

What kind of nonsense is this?
