In an instant, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, dispersing in all directions.
Most of the pirates even jumped off the ship. They wouldn't die from falling into the sea from that height, but they couldn't believe they would survive being hit by that meteorite overhead.
The other ability users were also trying to find a way to escape the area affected by the meteorite.
But in stark contrast to the crowd's escape was...
Luffy and his crew continued flying towards the meteorite.
Even Zoro, the only one who can't fly, is lifted upwards by the wind with Usopp's help.
Nami, watching the four figures below, smiled slightly.
"In that case, let me make the first move!"
As soon as she finished speaking, boundless lightning erupted from Nami's hand, instantly shooting straight into the sky.
The lightning in the sky transformed into a giant lightning Qilin, with occasional streaks of lightning blasting craters into the ground.
The fleeing pirates were stunned by the catastrophic scene, their bodies frozen in place as they stared blankly at the lightning-encrusted Qilin in the sky.
A chorus of sounds of people swallowing hard filled the air.
"Hey! What is that? How can lightning suddenly turn like that?!" a clueless pirate asked in astonishment.
"That's the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Logia Devil Fruit. It's one of the strongest Logia fruits, possessing destructive power akin to a natural disaster!"
One of the pirates explained, then looked at the Thousand Sunny and added:
"And the person in the world who currently possesses this fruit... is Lightning Witch Nami of the Straw Hat Pirates, with a bounty of 320 million Beli!!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the clueless low-level pirates all showed expressions of utter horror, and for a moment, they all turned their gazes toward the Thousand Sunny.
However, their response was:
"If you utter another word about the Thunder Witch, I'll strike you both down first!"
Nami turned to look at the pirates and roared.
Although these pirates were some distance away from her, she had Observation Haki and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
The combined effect of these two is definitely greater than the sum of its parts!
Hearing them talking at this distance would be incredibly easy, wouldn't it? And the worst part is how loudly they were talking.
Those pirates who were speaking earlier could hear Nami's voice even more clearly; after all, Nami's roar wasn't just a casual remark!
Nami turned her head and muttered a sarcastic remark.
"Seriously, I don't know who gave me this nickname 'Thunder Witch,' they're really crazy!"
She looks so pure, beautiful, and charming; how could she possibly be associated with a witch?
Nami shook her head, looked up again, and said softly:
"One Hundred Million Volts - Heavenly Qilin!"
As Nami finished speaking, the lightning Qilin in the sky instantly rushed out, heading straight for the meteorite.
At that moment, the four flying figures couldn't help but turn around to look when they sensed the movement behind them. And it was this one glance that nearly scared the souls out of them, except for Luffy.
(#°Д°)!
Without the slightest hesitation, the group immediately moved to the side, leaving the attack range of the lightning Qilin.
Only Luffy completely ignored the lightning.
He's made of rubber, what's there to be afraid of in the face of lightning!
Even flames, he can become immune to them through his willpower!
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Qilin struck the meteorite, unleashing a tremendous roar.
A shockwave, accompanied by thin strands of lightning, spread outwards. The ordinary pirates swept by this shockwave felt a numbness in their bodies before being blasted away a distance.
Somewhere below, a group of masked people stared intently at the sky. After a long while, one of them said:
"It seems the bounty on this Thunder Witch isn't as inflated as I thought!"
"That's normal! The Straw Hat Pirates can't be judged by ordinary standards! Apart from Xia Chen, who's a monster among monsters, the rest of them are no pushovers either. Underestimating them will definitely lead to big problems!"
The other person answered calmly.
At this moment, a man who appeared to be the leader stepped forward and said:
"Alright, their strength is none of our business! As long as Xia Chen is here, the Straw Hat Pirates are not someone we can afford to offend!"
"All we need to do is focus on our own tasks and retrieve the treasure Roger left behind!"
"Of course, the premise is that we can't clash with the Straw Hat Pirates, if they're also interested in this treasure..."
The man remained silent for a while before finally speaking:
"Then abandon the mission!!"
Above the sky, after all the commotion subsided, the meteorite remained unchanged, much to the despair of the pirates below who were still within its attack range.
"No way! Where did this meteorite come from?! Why hasn't it changed at all after enduring such an attack?!"
There were many other pirates who shared the same sentiment. They all ran towards the outer perimeter while cursing and using every word of "praise" they could think of on the meteorite.
"It had absolutely no effect?" Nami murmured to herself, gazing at the sky.
This result was actually within her expectations. After all, this was Xia Chen's method; wasn't it normal that her attack was ineffective?
Thinking this, Nami smiled slightly and then looked up at the people above.
"Could their words... cause any damage to this meteorite?"
At this moment, above the sky.
"That Nami! Is she trying to kill us all?"
Zoro, who was being lifted up by the wind in the sky, couldn't help but curse, Usopp next to him also looked grim.
"That crazy woman has absolutely no intention of helping us!"
Only Sanji was writhing his body on one side.
"I can't help but love Nami even when she attacks me with lightning!"
Zoro and Usopp both facepalmed, a thought simultaneously popping into their minds.
"This Sex Fiend Kappa is beyond saving!"
Shaking their heads, the group turned their attention back to the meteorite in front of them.
Usopp: "Let me go first!"
Having said that, in an instant, the giant White Tiger that Usopp had transformed into charged out.
It raised its claws high before the meteorite, golden energy swirling around them, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.
Zoro raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly:
" Usopp seems to have improved quite a bit in strength lately!"
As soon as Zoro finished speaking, Usopp had already completed his preparations, a golden light flashing in his huge tiger eyes, before he slammed his claws down on the meteorite.
" Geng Metal Heaven-Shattering Strike!"
