Savage Natives

Rumble—!

In an instant, the auras of those elite tribal warriors underwent a terrifying transformation. Amid their black Armament Haki, strands of luminous green life force shimmered like plant roots.

"Roar!"

The tribal chief slammed the bone spear in his hand into the ground and let out a brief battle cry. These natives of Primordial Wild Island instantly displayed unbelievable coordination as they faced the powerful outsiders.

"Did these bastards take me for prey they can hunt whenever they want?!"

Facing the tide-like assault, Keen let out a savage roar. He no longer suppressed the power within him. At that moment, the ability of his Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit erupted completely and without restraint.

"Roar—!!"

Accompanied by a soaring dragon's roar, Keen's body wildly swelled and stretched amid the gale as pink clouds burst into existence across the sky. In a single instant, a colossal dragon dozens of meters long, covered from head to toe in crystalline pink scales, coiled fiercely amid the jungle! He whipped his enormous tail, sweeping it around with enough force to tear apart the atmosphere.

However, these native warriors possessed outrageously rich combat experience.

"@#￥%!!"

Facing the pressure of the pink dragon, three brawny tribal warriors advanced rather than retreating. In a triangular formation, they leaped rapidly through the vines winding around the giant trees. Blinding green-and-black lightning burst from their heavy stone axes. Combining the terrifying elasticity of the vines with their monstrous strength, they actually seized Keen's swinging dragon tail and, through Verdant Haki's formidable Internal Destruction, forcibly pulled his enormous dragon body off balance.

Even as Keen frantically spewed Blast Breath and swung his claws, the near-artistic coordination of several fearless native warriors kept him firmly pinned in place for the moment, unable to break free.
