"Wait, George..." Just as the two were about to fight, Monbuma reached out to stop George, staring intently at Orange and asking, "Before we start, I'd like to ask you something!"
"Oh, what's so interesting?!" Orange replied, looking at him with interest.
"How did you find us? We were so well hidden, how could you find us so easily?!" Monbuma was very puzzled about how the two of them had been discovered and couldn't help but ask him.
"How did you find out?! Hahaha, that's hilarious. You think you can fool me with such crude hiding methods? Don't underestimate me... No matter who it is, as long as they are within my range of abilities, no one's actions can be hidden from me..." Orange found this very funny, and after laughing for a while, he still spoke up to explain to them.
"I see. In that case, we have no choice but to do everything in our power to defeat you!!"
"Okay, let's go together, Monbuma. If we don't take him down, Sister Catherine won't come back with us!" After George finished speaking, his figure changed, his clothes were torn open, Masira Giant in front of everyone.
"Since you've shown your true abilities, I won't hold back any longer..."
brush...
Having said that, Monbuma also untied the bag from his waist, took out two short sticks, combined them into a long stick, and pointed Orange.
"Hahaha, are you trying to rebel? How amusing, two mere Nezumi daring to defy the Giant Dragon in the sky..." Orange saw the two men so disrespectful as to raise their weapons and try to challenge him. He said disdainfully.
"Whether you are Nezumi or Giant Dragon, nothing is certain yet. Come, let me use this staff to clear the way for Catherine's return!!"
brush...
As soon as he finished speaking, Monbuma stomped her heel on her stick, leaped high into the air, and brought it down on his head from above.
"Interesting, so you really want to challenge this Giant Dragon? Fine, then I'll show you the difference between us... Oracle... No Sun in the Sky!!"
Wow...
As soon as Orange speaking, a golden energy body emanated from him, causing darkness to fall before Monbuma's eyes as she soared into the sky.
No, not only him, everything within ten meters of Orange dimmed, except for him, who shone with a golden light like a god from heaven, but no one within ten meters could see his strangeness.
"Damn it, why can't I see anything all of a sudden?!" Monbuma originally wanted to launch a sneak attack from the air, but suddenly everything went black. He felt as if his vision had been taken away by his opponent, and he couldn't see anything. His long staff was thrown down, but Orange easily One Flash, and the target missed and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.
Seeing his opponent's pathetic state of frenzy, unable to strike him, Orange couldn't help but mock, "Hahaha, can't see me now? Next up, it's my turn to unleash my attack! Oracle... Earth Control... Earth Dragon Turns Over!!"
Then his pupils narrowed, and golden gas burst forth once more. The ground beneath his feet shook, tripping Monbuma, who had lost her sight and could not see anything. Then, with a rumble, a Giant Dragon resembling a Western dragon rose from beneath his feet, while Orange stood steadily on its head.
Swoosh...
The tan Giant Dragon carried Orange the air, then turned and swooped down on Monbuma, who had just stood up from the ground.
"Oh no, danger! Monbuma, get out of the way!!" George saw that the Giant Dragon was targeting him and rushed towards him with concern, reaching out to pull him close and shielding him from the Giant Dragon's attack with his body.
"That's laughable. You think you can stop my attack like that? Don't be so naive... Great Dragon Dive!!"
brush!!
boom...
The Giant Dragon Rush down with immense, unstoppable force, slamming head-on into George's back and sending him flying.
Pfft~
With just one Charge, even George, who had grasped a rudimentary Haki and wrapped it around his body, couldn't help but cough up blood and fall to the ground along with Monbuma.
brush...
clatter!!
After the Giant Dragon Charge the earth, it merged back into the ground, perfectly filling in the uneven surface.
"How weak! I haven't even warmed up yet, and they're already gone?!" Seeing the two still struggling to get up on the ground, Orange couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"Hmph, don't look down on us! We've been preparing for this day for over a year, and after all this hard training, we won't fall so easily to you!" George and Monbuma, unwilling to give up, struggled to their feet and finally stood up, retorting to him.
"Oh!! Is that so? What can you do with those broken bodies?!" Orange said coldly, still not taking the two of them seriously.
"Hmph, we'll show you that even a nobody can rise above the rest! Super Vajra Body!!" George had honed his skills to perfection over the past year, combining the Six Powers he had mastered with his own flawless control to create this move.
After saying that, its body, which was already seven or eight meters tall, grew even taller, transforming into a true super Masira, no less than the height of an adult Giant, reaching a height of twenty or thirty meters.
roar...
"How dare you underestimate us! I'll show you the strength I've improved over the past year— Super Vajra Straight Punch!!" With that, the Giant Masira raised its right hand, two thick wisps of purple Armament Haki swirling around it, and blasted it towards Orange expression remained unchanged, still wearing a fake smile.
"Heh heh heh, this is what you call strength!? It's far too weak. You don't even have the will to make me fight. You can all just die! Oracle. Atmospheric Compression!!"
Thump~
As the words were spoken, accompanied by the emanation of golden gas, George suddenly felt as if the air around him had been sucked away, his breathing stopped, and the speed of his punches slowed down.
" Vacuum Bomb: Explosion!!"
boom...
As soon as he finished speaking, the white, translucent cloud of gas, compressed to the size of a fist, Burst in front of George.
The violent Blast swept in all directions, and George was the first to be hit. A bloody hole was blown into his chest, and several of his ribs were broken. His huge body was sent flying like a cannonball.
Bang!!
The giant ape crashed to the ground, the powerful Impact causing the ground to cave in, quietly forming a crater.
" George... Damn it, what did you do to my companion? Secret Technique: Hundred Billows Stacking Waves Style!!" At this moment, Monbuma, who had escaped Orange's control range, also regained her vision. Seeing George being sent flying backward, covered in wounds, by the opponent's casual strike, she couldn't help but swing her stick at him again.
"Hahaha, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Oracle... Water Mist Condensation!!"
brush!!
As Monbuma leaped up to strike him, it was as if all the moisture in the air around him had been sucked away, causing his skin to crack. The extracted moisture then condensed into transparent arrows in front of him.
" Water Vapor: Ten Thousand Arrows Fired at Once!!"
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Arrows flew toward Monbuma in mid-air, controlled by his abilities.
"Damn it, get out of my way!!" Helpless, Monbuma had no choice but to sweep away the arrows with his stick.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
With each sweep of his staff, he broke off a large number of arrows, but most of them struck him.
Pfft~
Thump!!
As drops of blood fell, Monbuma collapsed, wounded.
Swoosh...
Tap... thump!!
Monbuma tried to prop herself up and stand up again, but Orange stepped on her chest and stomped her to the ground, preventing her from getting up.
"You mere ants, just lie there and maybe I'll spare your worthless lives!" Orange stepped on him and warned in a low voice.
"Ha, how could that be?! Do you really think this will make us give in and give up? We already disregarded our own lives before deciding to come here, so how can we give up?!" Monbuma said stubbornly.
"Is that so? It seems you really don't want to live anymore. In that case, I'll send you on your way. Oracle... Earth Control. Earth Spear!!"
Wow...
Orange's calm voice rang out, the ground around him trembled, and two halberds appeared beside him.
"..." Meanwhile, Catherine was still struggling with whether to sacrifice the lives of her family's servants for the sake of her companions, or to sit idly by and let them slaughter her companions.
Two different choices kept flashing through her mind, causing her pain and inner turmoil.
"Heh, it seems you have no other choice. Then obediently submit... Earth Spear: Extermination!!"
Having said that, he waved his hand, and two halberds fell, gleaming with a cold light, their sharp points capable of easily piercing steel plates, aiming for his chest.
"Enough!!" Finally, Catherine made a decision between life and death for Monbuma. With a sharp shout, she flicked her wrist and unleashed a golden sword aura.
brush...
clank...
boom!!
The sword energy swiftly and decisively broke and destroyed the two Earth Spear, turning them into dust that scattered down.
"Hmm... What? Are you prepared to protect them?" Seeing the Earth Spear destroyed, Orange stopped attacking him, turned to look at her, and questioned her coldly.
"I... I can't just stand by and watch my companions who came to save me be killed by you. Let's leave it at that. Orange, I will keep our promise and marry you, but you must give up the idea of hunting them down and let them leave here, from Mary Geoise, safely!!" Catherine stood in front of Orange, determined to exchange her freedom for the lives of her companions.
"An agreement?? Hahaha, you don't really think I would agree to something like that, do you? Putting aside whether the other Celestial Dragons and the World Government's high-ranking officials would pursue their crimes, even I, Gustav, would not allow such a thing to happen. If I let them go, where would the face of my Gustav Clan be?!"
"If you understand, then step back. You are my fiancée. I will not lay a hand on you, nor will I hold you accountable. But they cannot let this go unpunished. They should atone for this crime with their heads!" Orange completely ignored Catherine's unrealistic requests, turned around, and raised his hand to deliver the final blow to Monbuma at his feet.
"I've said enough! They can't die today!!" Catherine seemed to have nothing to lose, raising her sword and pointing it at Orange.
"Ha... Ridiculous, Oracle... Coffin of the Earth!!" Orange shook his head and continued his actions. Golden energy swirled around him, and the ground beneath Monbuma surged, forming a coffin around him.
"Looks like I'm going to fall here!!" Monbuma said calmly, looking at the mud walls that were gradually surrounding her.
" The Eight Virtues of Chivalry: Sword of Humility!!"
Clang!!
Catherine murmured something to the sword in her hand, then swung it, sending a pale white sword aura hurtling toward Orange's side.
Orange sensed Catherine's attack and turned around, saying, "Hmm?! Still haven't figured it out? Still want to attack me? Oracle, Protection of the Earth!!"
Splash...
The ground beside him trembled, and a Fortified Wall instantly formed to protect him.
Clang!!
boom...
The sword energy struck the wall, unleashing a fierce wind. The sword energy continued to surge forth, quickly filling the Fortified Wall with cracks, and soon it collapsed. The sword energy continued to slash at him.
"Alas... Oracle. Scatter All Techniques!!" Orange sighed, not taking it to heart. He silently recited the phrase again, and the sword energy, about to strike him, suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated.
"Heh, what a cheating ability! What kind of people are we fighting against?!" On the ground, where the cracked earth revealed his figure, Monbuma watched as Catherine's fierce attack vanished in the blink of an eye, prompting him to chuckle bitterly.
" Eight Virtues: Sword of Honesty!!" Catherine did not give up her attack and continued to strike, sending pink Flying Slash flying.
"Don't you understand yet? Oracle. Scatter Completely!!" An even larger and thicker gas evaporated, turning the Flying Slash into mud once again.
"Any other tricks up your sleeve? This won't save your companions!" Orange wanted to test what other tricks Catherine had up her sleeve, so he provoked her.
" Eight Virtues: Honor!!" Sure enough, Catherine swung her sword and struck again, a blood-red Flying Slash arriving.
"Hehehe, it seems you've really run out of tricks. Then this farce should come to a complete end!!" Catherine's sword skills were getting stronger with each move, but this time the Flying Slash she unleashed was much weaker than before. After seeing through her feints, Orange no longer held back and planned to finish them off in one fell swoop.
"Let's start with you, my fiancée Catherine Palace, Oracle. Reversal!!"
brush...
After Orange said those words, the Flying Slash that was originally aimed at him turned around and slashed back at Catherine.
"Not good!!" Catherine's expression changed, and she immediately drew her sword to parry.
"Alright, the troublemaker is gone. Now it's your turn. Let's continue what we were doing. Oracle. Reaper's Coffin!!"
"Hehehe, in the end, I still couldn't save her..." Monbuma's body was slowly buried by the soil, but he maintained his original composure until the very end, though there was some resentment in his words.
