"Hahaha, what incredible luck! I truly am a man blessed by Lady Fortune. With this, the Tobi Roppo position is as good as mine!"
A teenager wearing overalls, looking about ten years old, laughed heartily. The thought of finally being able to one-up his domineering older sister made him even more excited.
"Page One, you're no match for me. Leave now while you still can. I don't want to fight you," Yamato declared sternly.
"Hmph, Yamato, I know you're strong. But don't think I'm the same as I was half a year ago. I'm different now—it's a qualitative difference!" Page One said with full confidence.
Several months ago, he and his sister had sneaked into the Beasts Pirates' Treasure Vault and each consumed one of Kaido's prized Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits. Now, he had been significantly enhanced.
"Watch this, Yamato! My power!"
The young Page One grinned confidently. In the next moment, under the moonlight, his body began to transform.
Rip!
His clothes tore apart as his body rapidly expanded, growing from a short teenager under 170 cm into a several-meter-tall ferocious dinosaur.
Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Spinosaurus!!!
"Hahaha! What do you think? Too scared to even move at the sight of this form? Can't blame you—after all, I'm now the former ruler of the land!" Page One laughed triumphantly.
"I see. So you've become an Ancient Zoan user. Since you insist on staying, I'll play with you for a bit." Yamato stepped forward, intending to use this chance to shake off Luo Xia.
"Wait, let me handle this kid." Luo Xia stepped past Yamato and stood before Spinosaurus Page One.
"Doesn't matter who goes first—your fate's the same either way. But just to be sure, you're that guy Kaido brought back today, Luo Xia, right?" Page One asked.
"That's me," Luo Xia nodded calmly.
"Perfect!" Page One's eyes gleamed as he suddenly lunged, his dinosaur body spinning rapidly.
Whoosh!
With a sharp whistling sound, the Spinosaurus' massive tail swung toward Luo Xia with overwhelming force.
Luo Xia didn't dodge. He simply let Page One's tail strike him.
Boom!
The ground erupted, dust and debris flying everywhere—yet Luo Xia remained unmoved.
"Huh?" A cluster of question marks seemed to pop up above Page One's head.
What was going on?
He was in his land-dominating dinosaur form!
His tail strike could easily send a bull flying, yet...
"Did you skip lunch?" Luo Xia retorted.
With strength like Page One's, even a full day of attacks wouldn't raise his proficiency by a single point.
"Don't get cocky! That was just a warm-up. Now comes my real power!" Page One tried to save face.
He backed up several meters, then suddenly charged forward, his heavy dinosaur body making the ground rumble.
"Take this—Rocket Headbutt!"
Using a move he learned from his sister, Page One slammed his full-force headbutt into Luo Xia's body.
Yet again, the result was all bark and no bite—Page One's strongest charge couldn't even budge Luo Xia an inch.
"I thought you were going to dodge and let me charge into the sea, so I held back a little earlier."
Page One once again found a suitable excuse for his weakness.
"Can't even hit properly, and you still want to be an Executive?" Luo Xia chuckled lightly.
"What did you say?" Page One caught the disdain in Luo Xia's tone and instantly flew into a rage. "Fine, you've successfully provoked my anger. From now on, I won't hold back at all—even if you die, I won't care."
With that, Page One's eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he opened the massive jaws of his Spinosaurus form, rows of sharp teeth glinting coldly under the moonlight.
Chomp—
Page One's fanged maw clamped down on Luo Xia's upper body.
Screech—
The razor-sharp dinosaur teeth scraped against Luo Xia's body, sending sparks flying.
"Too hard!!!"
Page One's pupils shrank. This time, he couldn't find any excuse to brush it off—he finally realized the severity of the situation.
In his ancient Spinosaurus form, his bite force could easily crush boulders, leaving marks even on steel.
An ordinary human's flesh and blood wouldn't stand a chance—he should've torn them apart effortlessly.
But… what the hell was up with this man in front of him?!
His body was ridiculously tough!
Was he made of iron?!
No!
Even iron wasn't this hard—was he diamond or something?!
"Little dinosaur, are you trying to tickle me?" Luo Xia smiled.
"It's not over yet!" Refusing to admit defeat, Page One viciously bit down on Luo Xia's head, arms, thighs… searching for any weak point in his steel-like body.
After struggling for over ten minutes, Page One had even broken several of his teeth, yet Luo Xia remained completely unfazed.
"I refuse to believe you don't have a weakness!"
This was unbearable!!!
Page One's full-powered chomp missed for the first time as Luo Xia flipped backward, landing behind him and grabbing his tail with one hand. With a slight exertion of force—
BAM!
The massive Spinosaurus was lifted into the air before being slammed heavily into the ground.
Guh—
Page One coughed up blood, his eyes rolling back slightly.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Luo Xia turned into the Hulk, grabbing Page One and smashing him repeatedly into the ground until the coastline was left pockmarked with craters.
By the tenth impact, Page One's eyes had rolled back completely, and he passed out.
Luo Xia casually tossed the unconscious Page One aside, then seemed to remember something and walked back over, stripping off Page One's overalls—which were as durable as the Hulk's pants.
His own beast-hide outfit had been mostly ruined during his fight with Kaido, and after Page One's biting spree, it was completely wrecked.
After putting on the overalls, Luo Xia glanced down, then also took Page One's cape and hat, putting together an outfit that at least didn't make him look too much like a pervert.
"Peeee-chan~~~"
Just then, a sickly sweet voice called out from behind Luo Xia.
Hearing it, Luo Xia immediately realized—the elder sister of the Beasts Pirates' dinosaur siblings had arrived.
Beat the little one, and the big one comes—standard procedure.
Luo Xia turned around, about to speak, when the long-legged beauty in a pink mask and a short dress suddenly leaped up and clung onto him.
Originally, Ulti had intended to ride on her little brother Page One's shoulders like she always did.
However, Luo Xia's sudden turn made the situation a bit awkward—what was supposed to be a piggyback ride turned into a face-sitting moment.
The words Luo Xia had yet to speak were instantly stifled.
Huh?
