"Here I come!"
With no idea what Drake was thinking, Pica backed up a few steps, sank into the ground, and launched his attack.
The solid ground parted like water and swallowed Pica whole. He swam swiftly beneath it, then surged toward Drake.
Pica knew the size difference would make his joint locks difficult to use. But with his Devil Fruit Powers, he was still confident he could defeat the beast before him.
Cat-Ear Fist!
Pica comically raised both hands beside his head. Once he had his aim, he shot out of the ground.
Watching the freak in baby clothes attack with an equally ridiculous move, Drake's mouth twitched. Rather than dodge, he swung his massive head and rammed straight into Pica.
"Get away from me, you freak! I might catch it!"
Thud!
Cat-Ear Fist had none of its intended effect. Drake's strength far exceeded Pica's expectations, and the collision left him feeling as though his wrists might snap.
That hide was way too thick!
Riding the force of the impact, Pica sank straight into a wall. As the user of the Swim-Swim Fruit, he had no fear of a second impact after being struck. Walls and floors turned liquid at his touch and gently enveloped him.
"What kind of bizarre power is that?!"
Drake got up from the ground with a scowl and scanned his surroundings. Observation Haki had trouble sensing anything beneath solid ground or inside walls, which gave Pica an advantage. As long as he did not attack, his opponent had almost no way to find him.
But there was a catch!
The Swim-Swim Fruit only let him submerge himself in walls and floors as though they were water. He was still an ordinary person who needed to breathe, so he could not stay under for long.
