Tushan did not say much.
He simply patted the heads of the two and then withdrew his hand.
Then, everyone's gaze turned to the few "third wheels" on the scene.
Taurus, with a piercing gaze, felt a bit of resentment towards the earlier scene where Tushan patted his master's head.
There was also Holorochim, and inside him, Luffy and Zoro were still struggling to get out.
Nami watched and then slowly stepped forward.
She smiled at Holorochim, "Thank you for your hard work. The matter is settled, you can let them out now."
Upon hearing this, Holorochim immediately opened the door to his abdomen.
Inside, Luffy and Zoro, who were almost squashed out of shape, burst out like a flood, landing on the ground in a somewhat disheveled manner.
They quickly jumped to their feet, both glaring at Nami with resentment, grumbling incessantly.
Nami couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them. With a flick of a key in her hand, Holorochim's figure slowly faded away.
"Hey!! How dare you lock me up!"
"If it weren't so sudden, I wouldn't have fallen for such a lowly trick!"
"Yes, yes."
Nami waved her hand and then looked at the two.
"You saw it too. Those guys just now couldn't even beat me and Makino. For you two, they're a piece of cake~"
"So, those kinds of guys aren't even worth your effort."
Upon hearing this, Luffy and Zoro fell silent.
Although these were words of comfort from Nami, they both knew very well that with the power Makino and Nami had just displayed, even they would have a hard time dealing with it!
For Zoro, especially, Makino's terrifying power was like that of a demon!
Thus, Zoro's gaze gradually focused on Makino.
Although he always wanted to challenge the so-called world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, someone like Makino seemed to be an incredible strong person too, and Zoro felt a rising desire to challenge her.
However, since she was a woman, Zoro couldn't bring himself to say it.
Meanwhile, Luffy's focus was entirely different from Zoro's.
Thinking back to the battle he had just watched, Luffy's gaze was fixed on Taurus.
Looking at the humanoid figure standing there, wielding a massive double-bladed axe as a weapon, speaking human language, and possessing such formidable combat power!
Luffy's eyes began to sparkle.
"Axe Cow!!"
"Be my partner?!"
Luffy suddenly ran forward, laughing at Taurus.
Taurus heard this and glanced down at the monkey-like Luffy with disinterest.
After all, in his eyes, only beautiful women mattered, and he had no interest in such a guy.
Moreover, for him, a Celestial Spirit, to become a partner with this guy?
Wasn't this the same as that idiot who spoke bird language to him earlier...
Seeing Luffy running off to recruit his Celestial Spirit, Nami was speechless.
Holding the golden key in her hand, she waved it at Luffy and said, "Taurus is a Celestial Spirit and can't stay here for long."
"Besides, he's my possession and can't become your partner!"
"Ah!!"
Luffy's expression instantly turned dejected, looking utterly crestfallen.
Recruiting all sorts of strange and unusual individuals as partners had always been his wish!
A talking cow, if he could take it to the sea, how cool would that be!
Unfortunately, he was ruthlessly rejected...
Taurus completely ignored Luffy, turning to look at Nami with a face full of adoration, nodding repeatedly, "That's right! Only Miss Nami has the right to command me! Taurus belongs to Miss Nami alone!"
"Conversely, the sexy Miss Nami naturally belongs to me..."
"Alright, alright, you should leave too!!"
Looking at the lecherous Taurus, Nami helplessly held her forehead with one hand, ready to wave Taurus away.
However, just as her fair hand reached out, it was grasped by a large hand beside her.
Nami looked up in surprise, only to see Tushan's somewhat subtle smile...
"Tushan?"
"As for this stupid cow, I can't just pretend I didn't hear it..."
Tushan said with a smile.
However, Nami could clearly feel the hidden anger within him...
Tushan continued, "Earlier, I heard someone talking about interrupting a date or something, as if I, Tushan, didn't exist..."
Seeing this, Makino and Nami both realized.
Tushan was jealous!!
The two were at a loss for words, while Taurus, who was also displeased with Tushan, snorted angrily.
His gaze fixed on Tushan's hand holding Nami's, and he slowly raised the double-bladed axe in his hand.
"Take your hand off Miss Nami's hand!"
"Hmm?"
Tushan squinted his eyes, letting out a cold snort.
"In this world, only I, Tushan, have the right to threaten others. Who dares to threaten me?"
"Hmph, don't think that just because you're not an enemy, I won't dare to hit you! I'm only tolerating you because of Miss Nami!! Moo!!"
Taurus was not one to back down, confronting Tushan head-on.
Nami watched the two men fighting over her, but she felt no joy. Instead, she was filled with question marks???
Taurus, a Celestial Spirit, arguing with a human for what reason!!
And Tushan... this Celestial Spirit key was given to her by him, yet now Tushan himself was about to fight with the Celestial Spirit!!
"Tushan..."
"Forget it, Taurus, you should leave first!"
Nami muttered, preparing to withdraw her hand and wave the key to send Taurus away.
After all, she had no interest in watching this childish drama unfold.
Moreover, Taurus was her most powerful Celestial Spirit!
Even Tushan might find it hard to contend with him.
So it was best to send this stupid cow away quickly.
However, Tushan didn't seem ready to let Taurus leave just like that.
He effortlessly took the Celestial Spirit key from Nami's hand.
Tushan sneered at Taurus in front of him, shaking it in front of Taurus's angry face, and said, "To go back, you don't necessarily need the Celestial Spirit key. I can send you!"
"You brat! Give the Celestial Spirit key back to Miss Nami!!"
Taurus roared, and the situation finally spiraled out of control!
Taurus stomped heavily, and the ground cracked open like a giant spider web!
Then, Taurus swung his giant axe, pressing down on Tushan with all his might!
"Taurus! No!!"
Nami exclaimed in alarm.
Facing a battle-hardened Celestial Spirit like Taurus, even knowing Tushan wasn't weak, it would be hard to gain any advantage!
Makino was also surprised by the sudden turn of events.
Luffy and Zoro watched with curiosity.
Their instincts told them that Tushan wasn't weak!
But just how strong was he? They couldn't tell from the earlier slap that sent Buggy flying.
Under the varied expressions of the onlookers.
Taurus finally closed in on Tushan.
The massive double-bladed axe was raised high above his head!
Then, it came crashing down with full force!
...
"You stupid cow, today Tu Ye will teach you to recognize the kings!!!"
With his thumb and forefinger pinching the giant axe that Taurus had swung down with all his might, Tushan sneered, and his other hand shot out like lightning!
With just one punch, he struck Taurus squarely in the chest.
The onlookers, their mouths agape, almost had their jaws drop to the ground.
Taurus didn't even have time to grunt before he instantly transformed into a burst of colorful light, dissipating into the air!
...
The Celestial Spirit of Taurus, known for its strength.
A full-force strike, unable to withstand Tushan's two-finger pinch.
Not only did Zoro's face turn grim.
Even the usually carefree Luffy looked at Tushan with a serious expression.
