"... George!! You bastard, what did you do to my partner...?"
Singh had just punched away the pirates who had boarded the Isel, turned to check on his companions for danger after sending them flying with a single punch. But then he saw Minister Cream Opera use his powers to subdue George and throw him to the floor. Overwhelmed with rage, he roared and swung his fist at them.
brush...
Bang...
Singh's furious attack struck heavily, causing the air to churn and explode, tearing through the atmosphere and aimed directly at Opera's chest. However, Opera, a powerful figure in the New World, did not take the attack seriously. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his right arm, covering it with cream to receive the blow.
"Huh? What? My attack was blocked?! Just who is this guy?"
Even Singh couldn't believe that his attack had been so easily parried by Opera. He had unleashed a powerful blow filled with rage, almost with all his might. Even if it was weak, it shouldn't have failed to leave the opponent with the slightest injury. This made him even more serious.
"Heh heh heh heh, what kind of look is that? Do you really think you can defeat me, Minister Cream Opera, with your meager brute strength from your Giant bloodline? That's underestimating me way too much, Cream... Flowing Wall, stay locked inside in peace..."
As Opera spoke, he stretched out his hands again and pressed them into the air. A stream of creamy liquid gushed out from his hands and transformed into several walls that enveloped Singh.
"Hmph, you think such a little thing can trap me?! Savage Martial Arts... Heavy Fist!!"
Despite being encased in cream, Singh showed no sign of panic. He smirked, then clenched his muscles, clenched his fists, and slammed them down forcefully against the cream barrier.
Bang...
The cream wall couldn't withstand Singh's blow and instantly shattered into pieces before exploding, with cream splattering everywhere.
"Oh!! You've got some skill. You must be the second strongest in your pirate crew, right? Fine, let me, Opera, experience your tricks... Creamy Creamy... Heavy Bullet Barrage!!"
After saying that, Opera's belly turned into cream, from which bullets made of liquid cream shot out and bombarded Singh.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
Singh glanced at the incoming butter cannons, a smirk playing on his lips. He swung his arm forward repeatedly, blasting the butter cannons to pieces before they even reached him, sending them splattering into the air as liquid.
Meanwhile, the Isel was covered in cream from the two men's attack, its surface coated with a layer of white liquid. Under the high temperature of the sun, it emitted a fragrant aroma of cream, making the noses of the pirates present twitch and their appetites whetted.
"Hmph, you dare call such a fragile cream-filled bullet a cannonball? Let me teach you what the true power of a cannon is."
Singh flicked the cream off his hand and said disdainfully to Opera.
"Hehehe, it's not over yet. Next, I'll show you the true power of the Cream-Cream Fruit. Cream... Enchantment... Pastry Behemoth!!"
Despite being mocked by Singh, Opera remained unperturbed, her expression serene. Then, she looked up and burst into laughter, pulling out a chattering, sentient cream cake from her person. This cake was a protective shield given to her pirates by Big Mom; by infusing it with her own abilities, she could control and command it to fight for her, much like the Enchantment of the Minister of Steam's Aladdin's lamp.
Opera then poured all his power into the small cake. As the power continued to flow in, the cream cake grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a giant structure over ten meters tall, almost supporting two-thirds of the ship's deck. Many pirates were knocked into the sea.
Catherine pulled Lulith and gently stepped onto the lookout tower to watch the battle. At the same moment, Monbuma pulled George, who was covered in layers of cream, into the cabin.
"Is this... a cake? It's enormous! What is it trying to do? Can it control this cake to move?"
Singh stepped aside, looked up at the enormous cake monster, and asked in confusion.
"Hehehe, pirate, let me show you the true power of Lord Opera! Cream... Giant Clap!!"
Opera stood on the cream cake, laughing wildly. After speaking, he raised his right hand and swung it downwards. The cake Giant followed suit, extending its arm made entirely of cream and slamming it down heavily.
Huff... Huff...
As that enormous, creamy arm waved, a faint sound echoed through the air, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind that swept down.
brush!!
boom...
The splint Singh had made was instantly shattered by the palm of his hand. The cracks spread and the splint burst open, creating a huge hole. Singh had moved aside a moment before it made its move, dodging the attack.
"Escaped? You're quite agile, like a Nezumi. But before my Pastry Behemoth, all that is futile. Die... Behemoth Hundred-Hit Combo... Invincible Clap!!"
Having said that, Opera used his Observation Haki to lock onto the location where Singh was about to appear, and once again manipulated it to increase its speed, swinging its palm at Extreme Speed towards him. The sound of air tearing apart rang out violently once again, and a sharp screech accompanied the flashing afterimages of the huge palm as it continued to strike.
Bang bang bang...
"Oh no! Singh is in danger! Miss Catherine, you must hurry and save him..."
Seeing that Singh was in grave danger, Lulith immediately called out to Catherine was beside her, hoping she would come to his rescue.
"No, let's wait and see, Lulith. We can just watch patiently. Singh isn't as fragile as you think. Trust your partner..."
Catherine shook her head and refused. If there was real danger, she would act immediately. But for Singh, she saw no sense of crisis on his face, so she knew that this was a test for him and he didn't want anyone to interfere.
brush...
brush...
brush...
Singh slowly closed his eyes, using his body to feel the incoming fists, and slowly grasped the feeling in his mind, calmly dodging most of the attacks amidst the Torrent of fist imprints.
"Damn it, you want to use me Opera, as a stepping stone for your Awakening of Observation Haki? Interesting. Let's see if you're qualified. Cream... Slide, now you don't even have a foothold, let's see what you do now!!"
Opera Singh had actually closed his eyes and personally experienced the terrifying attacks, thus Awakening his Observation Haki, Opee snorted coldly. Then, cream flowed out from under the Pastry Behemoth, covering the entire deck. The slippery cream made the ground incredibly smooth, almost causing Singh to lose his balance. Then, Opera seized the opportunity and launched a punch.
Bang...
Sizzle... Sizzle!!
Seeing that he couldn't dodge the attack, Singh crossed his arms in front of him to block it, but the power of the Cream Heavy Fist was still too much for Singh to withstand. He was thrown backward by the huge Impact, creating two waves of cream and scratching the siding with two deep marks. He only stopped with the help of the railing.
"Hmph, you've revealed a weakness, Giant... Cream Heavy Fist!!"
Huff... Huff...
Opera seized the opportunity, gathering all the cream on his arm and slamming it down heavily on Singh's head.
Opera's attack was even more powerful and faster, giving Singh no chance to react at all. The air rumbled as his fist landed, and it struck in the next instant.
"How could I possibly fall here? Unleash your power, the bloodline hidden deep within me, give me strength..."
Faced with this attack, Singh did not panic. Instead, he became even calmer, calling upon the Giant bloodline hidden within him and unleashing unparalleled potential. An indescribable powerful force gathered in his hands, and the surrounding area was disturbed by the violent fluctuations. Singh's fists, aimed at Opera's creamy giant hand, concentrated their power at a single point and then exploded out with a bang.
" The Elbaph Spear... Hakkoku!!"
boom...
The powerful wave of energy shattered the Giant Fist and continued to propagate towards Opera.
"This... this is... no way, this is Mom's move... Elbaf... Spear, ah!!"
Opera could hardly believe it; his mother's proudest move had manifested in this nobody before him. Before he could finish speaking, Hakkoku smashed the Pastry Behemoth beneath him and then slammed it into him, sending him flying.
Bang...
Opera was blasted away by the Hakkoku and crashed into the flagship where Katakuri was.
