"White Tiger - Beastman Form!"
With a low growl, Bullet's body began to change.
White fur grew from under its skin, its hands transformed into sharp claws, a "king" character pattern appeared on its forehead, and fangs grew from its mouth.
"Let's go!"
Bullet gave a low shout and kicked the door open, the loud noise instantly silencing the banquet hall.
All the pirates were stunned, staring blankly at the half-human, half-tiger monster at the entrance.
Ochoku was also stunned, but the next second, his eyes sharpened.
Although years of fighting instincts have worn them down, they haven't completely disappeared.
He sensed a powerful threat from Bullet.
Who goes there?!
Ochoku pushed aside the dancer beside him and slowly stood up.
His body began to change—his already thick arms swelled further, his muscles bulged like steel, and his veins stood out.
Strong-Strong Fruit, activate!
"The one who will take your life!"
Bullet grinned maliciously, and with a powerful thrust of his legs, the ground instantly cracked!
His body transformed into a white blur, rushing straight at Ochoku!
"Arrogant!"
Ochoku roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and unleashed his right fist with a terrifying whooshing sound!
Two fists collided in mid-air.
boom--!!!!
A deafening roar!
The shockwave erupted from the two people, blowing away all the surrounding tables, chairs, and food!
The weaker pirates were immediately knocked unconscious, while the stronger ones were pushed back by the shockwave.
In the center of the hall, Bullet and Ochoku remained in a fist-pumping stance, the ground beneath their feet shattering inch by inch.
Bullet's expression changed.
He felt the terrifying power emanating from Ochoku's fist.
It was a power so pure and extreme, simple, brutal, yet unmatched!
" Strong-Strong Fruit - Tenfold Boost!"
Ochoku roared, his arms instantly grew thicker, and the power in his fists surged dramatically!
Bang!
Bullet was sent flying by the punch, crashing through three walls before finally coming to a stop!
"Cough..."
Bullet crawled out of the rubble, coughing up blood, his eyes filled with shock.
White Tiger Fruit and his own physique, he actually lost in terms of strength?!
"Is that all you've got? You dare challenge me?"
Ochoku strode out, the ground trembling with each step.
"I am Ochoku! A former executive of the Rocks Pirates!"
His demeanor completely changed.
He was no longer that fat man indulging in pleasure, but had transformed back into the powerful figure who dominated the seas!
Although his strength has declined somewhat, the terrifying amplification from the Strong-Strong Fruit still gives him devastating power!
"Interesting..."
Bullet wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with an even stronger fighting spirit.
"That's more like it!"
Bullet charged forward again, this time not to fight head-on, but to use the speed and agility of his orc form to launch attacks from all angles.
But how rich was Ochoku's combat experience?
He may seem clumsy, but every step he takes is perfectly timed.
They can always predict Bullet's attack route and neutralize it with minimal cost.
"Twentyfold Increase - Heavy Blow!"
Ochoku seized an opening and punched Bullet in the chest!
Click--!
The sound of bone cracking was clearly audible!
Bullet flew backwards again, this time crashing through the outer wall of the banquet hall and landing directly in the plaza outside!
Bullet!
Roy's expression changed slightly.
He realized it— Ochoku's Strong-Strong Fruit was indeed terrifying.
The simple and brutal power boost, combined with his already formidable physical skills and Haki,
This has resulted in a fighting style that is almost unbeatable.
Mythical Zoan are indeed the current meta, but those extremely simple and straightforward Paramecia -Paramecia Fruits are the true chosen ones!
"You guys, go and deal with the others."
Ochoku looked at Roy, Hawk Eyes, and Tesoro, and grinned.
"Leave this white tiger brat to me."
It's been a while since I've stretched my muscles, today's the perfect time to practice!
He walked heavily toward the square.
Outside, Bullet had stood up again, and the dent in his chest was visibly healing.
"Again!"
Bullet roared and charged again.
But the result was the same—he was blasted away by Ochoku's punch!
The power amplified thirtyfold has exceeded the limit that Bullet can withstand!
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
Bullet was knocked away time and time again, but he got back up again and again.
His regenerative abilities are astonishing, but Ochoku's power is even more terrifying!
That's enough.
When Bullet was knocked away for the sixth time, Roy stopped him from rushing forward again.
" Roy, I can still fight!"
Bullet gritted his teeth and said.
"I know you can fight, but there's no point in continuing like this."
Roy said calmly,
"The power of the Strong-Strong Fruit is too effective against pure strength-based opponents."
"Go help the others clear out the remaining enemies. I'll take care of Ochoku."
Bullet wanted to say something more, but seeing Roy's determined look, he finally nodded.
He really couldn't do anything about Ochoku —the opponent's power amplification was too abnormal, and he would be at a complete disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.
"Then be careful."
"I know."
Roy strode toward Ochoku, and slowly drew his Black Blade Shusui.
Ochoku raised an eyebrow as he watched Roy approach:
"Changed personnel? Kid, who are you?"
Roy.
" Roy?"
Ochoku thought for a moment, then suddenly Satori.
"Oh! That brat who's been causing quite a stir lately?"
"What, you think you can challenge me just because you've caused a few big incidents?"
Kid, you're still too green!
Roy did not respond, but simply looked at Ochoku quietly, his pupils gleaming.
The Telekinesis Fruit is activated.
An invisible force field spread out from him, and the gravel on the ground began to tremble slightly.
Ochoku felt the invisible pressure, and his expression turned serious.
" Devil Fruit User? What kind of ability?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Before Roy could finish speaking, he had already vanished from the spot!
Wow, so fast!
Ochoku's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
clang--!!!
The Black Blade Shusui, slashed at Ochoku's arm, which was covered in Armament Haki.
A deafening clang of metal clashing erupted!
Ochoku was forced back three steps by the slash, and a white mark appeared on his arm!
" Great Swordsman?!"
Ochoku was shocked.
At such a young age, he has already reached the level of Great Swordsman?!
"That's not all."
Roy's voice came from the side; the second strike had already landed!
Ochoku quickly turned around and threw out both fists!
"Fortyfold Increase - Double Punch Impact!"
The terrifying force of the punch collided with the slash, unleashing an even stronger impact!
"Interesting..."
Ochoku licked the blood seeping from the wound on his arm, a fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.
"Kid, you're much better than that White Tiger brat!"
Come on! Let me have some fun!
The two clashed again.
This time, the level of the battle is completely different!
Roy relied on his swordsmanship and the agility granted by his Telekinesis.
Ochoku's power was terrifying; each punch was enough to shatter a mountain peak.
The clash of sword and fist, the Telekinesis-Telekinesis Fruit versus the Power Fruit, unleashes a storm in the plaza!
