"Ten million volts, Thunder Beast!"
Nami unleashed a Thunder Beast attack directly into the forest, the powerful lightning destroying all the trees and other vegetation along the path.
Then, to Luffy and his crew's astonishment, the trees lifted off the ground and began to Luffy.
Σ(⊙▽⊙" a!
"The tree, it ran away?"
(☆▽☆)!
Luffy was only surprised for a moment, then his face lit up with excitement as he chased after the trees that could run.
"Don't run! Wait..."
Watching this scene from behind, Zoro suddenly realized something and said uncertainly, " Luffy, that guy, could it be...?"
"Hey, you guys come and be my partners!"
Everyone: "You'd better stop now!"
After yelling at Luffy, everyone turned their attention to Nami.
After a moment Robin looked at Nami and asked, " Nami, what's wrong...?"
"Let me see if my Rumble-Rumble Fruit really works against these filthy things!" Nami said breathlessly, her face full of excitement.
Although she has been setting aside time every day to develop her Rumble-Rumble Fruit during this period, she hasn't been in any combat.
This has led her to remain stuck in the past when faced with this situation, almost forgetting that she is now a powerful Logia Devil Fruit User.
She Nami, stood up straight!
"Phew~ This Rumble-Rumble Fruit is powerful, but it's a bit tiring!"
"Nonsense, you can only release a maximum of ten million volts of electricity right now. It's no wonder you get tired after a full-force attack!" Xia Chen rolled his eyes and said.
Nami's physique wasn't strong to begin with, and given that she hasn't had the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for very long, ten million volts is already her limit.
"Alright, let's hurry up and Luffy! Otherwise, who knows what he'll do next!" Zoro said.
"That makes sense!" Everyone nodded in unison.
They were well aware of Luffy's unreliability, and if he actually managed to recruit a tree spirit as a partner, things would get really funny.
Then everyone ran towards Luffy's direction.
Looking at the figures of the crowd, Xia Chen couldn't help but shake his head. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.
"This is?"
--
After a period of time~
When everyone saw Luffy, they saw him pinning a tree down and pleading with it to become his crewmate.
(•́へ•́╬)!
Nami slowly walked up to Luffy and slowly raised her fist.
"Bang!"
There's a limit to how brainless you can be!
Luffy was knocked to the ground by Nami's punch, and the zombie tree, seeing this, quickly ran away, even turning back to thank Nami as it ran:
"Thank you, you're such a kind person!"
"Really? You have a good eye for people!" Nami replied happily, but her finger had already been aimed at it without her noticing.
" Thunder Finger!"
As soon as she finished speaking, lightning crackled between Nami's fingers, and a thin bolt of lightning struck the tree-demon zombie directly.
"Tear!"
The tree-demon zombie that was struck by the sword began to burst into Kumachi, its screams echoing throughout the room. As its body burned away, a shadow flew out from within it.
The immense power of lightning could kill these zombies instantly, without even needing salt. (Refer to Zoro killing Ryuma in the original manga)
Seeing Nami kill the zombie with a sweet smile on her face but showing no mercy, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
That's it, Nami's dominance has increased even more!
"Roar~ Oh~"
Just as Nami was about to say something, a series of roars suddenly came from all around.
Then, hands began to reach out from under each of the tombstones in front of them, and soon a whole bunch of zombies crawled out.
The group then looked around and realized that they hadn't noticed before that they had unknowingly arrived at a cemetery.
"Ah! Zombies!!" Usopp and Chopper shouted, then quickly ran to the middle of the group.
Neither the front nor the back is safe; only the middle position, where someone is supporting them from the front and someone is blocking them from the back, can give them a sense of security.
"Oh, so this is a zombie? It's different from what I imagined!" Zoro said casually.
"Indeed, it's not as scary as I imagined. Who could it scare with its appearance?" Sanji chimed in.
Usopp and Chopper: You can scare us!
Nami, who was standing at the front, was still a little scared as she saw the zombies crawling out one by one. After all, such a long-standing fear couldn't be eliminated overnight.
But she resisted the urge to run away. She was now Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Rumble Fruit, and she had just made a bold claim in front of them. It would be a bit embarrassing to back down now.
Clearing her mind, Nami kept encouraging herself.
"Keep going! Just like you did when you killed that tree demon, you can do it!"
Thinking this, Nami pointed her finger at the zombies that were slowly walking towards them, her eyes narrowing.
"Biu~biu~biu~"
Countless bolts of lightning shot out from Nami's fingertips; any ordinary zombie soldier touched by these bolts would die instantly.
In no time, the once ferocious zombies were now scattering in all directions.
"Run... run! This is a tough one!" This was the first time they had ever seen someone use lightning directly.
They used to be fearless because of their so-called immortality, but now that they realize that being struck by a blade means certain death, they finally panic and flee for their lives.
The zombies were terrified, but Nami had a blast killing them.
She's become this strong without us even realizing it, so why is she still being a coward?
Nami chased after the fleeing zombies, yelling, "Zombies, stop right there! I'm going to send you all to meet your maker!"
Everyone: (⊙o⊙)...
" Nami... when did she become like this?" Usopp asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Perhaps it's because he suddenly gained immense power that his previously suppressed nature has been exposed!" Robin said calmly.
"Very likely!" Zoro added.
" Nami looks really cute like this~"
"Alright, let's hurry up and catch up. Nami's getting too cocky. I'm afraid she'll start a fight with Moria if she runs into him!" Zoro said after scanning the group.
Zoro turned his head, about to give chase, but then suddenly turned his head again.
Where is Xia Chen?
" Xia Chen is right next to me... Where is Xia Chen?!" Usopp suddenly cried out halfway through his answer. Xia Chen, who had been beside him just moments before, had vanished without a trace.
"It's... it's all over!" Usopp suddenly felt a little scared. With Xia Chen gone, he felt that his safety had decreased by at least 90%.
"What to do, what to do?" Chopper was also running around frantically.
After a moment's thought, Robin finally said, "With Xia Chen's strength, it's impossible for anything to happen to him. His disappearance must mean he left on his own! Let's catch up with Nami first!"
"Yeah, Xia Chen is so strong, he'll be fine!" Luffy said with a smile.
" Xia Chen isn't here?" Sanji's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he hurriedly chased after the direction Nami had disappeared in.
" Nami- san! I'm here to protect you!"
Seeing Sanji give chase, the rest of the group followed without hesitation, leaving only Chopper and Usopp behind.
"Hey, don't run so fast, wait for us!" The two of them launched themselves into the air, using nitro boost to accelerate, and chased after the group.

Somewhere on the island, a figure stands before a magnificent tomb, silently gazing down.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "I want to see what's here..."
