Nami glared fiercely at Vice Admiral Onigumo, saying chillingly, "Old geezer, you were among those mocking us just now, weren't you?!"
And you laughed so loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't hear.
"Reno Pirates navigator Nami..."
Onigumo, with a cigar in his mouth and disheveled hair, stared coldly at Nami, slowly drawing ~ the two famous swords in his hands.
"If Reno is the true Rumble-Rumble Fruit User, then you must be the Cloud-Cloud Fruit user."
Onigumo, having reached this conclusion, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Nami was startled, then realized.
Presumably, Marine intelligence had seen her use Cloud-Cloud Fruit Ability before, which led them to assume she was a Cloud-Cloud Fruit user.
Little did they know, cloud power was merely one element within the Weather-Weather Fruit.
Seeing Onigumo's dismissive look, it was clear he didn't take cloud power seriously.
Nami sneered, "Onigumo, when you die under my Cloud Spear, you'll know regret!"
"You're courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Onigumo's eyes, and he stomped hard on the deck.
Soru!
One of the Navy Six Styles.
Onigumo's figure was like a ghost, rapidly closing in on Nami.
At the same time, the six famous swords wrapped in his hair on top of his head seemed to come alive, dancing wildly.
As a member of the Marine Hawk faction, he had only one attitude towards pirates: kill!
In his dictionary, there were never the words "cherish and protect women."
Sensing Onigumo's powerful offensive, Nami was instantly enraged.
"Old geezer, you're really getting worked up, aren't you?!"
"Cloud Cone Pierce!!!"
Nami waved her right hand, and a large amount of clouds rapidly compressed into shape. The air was filled with dense, triangular spikes.
Their hardness was comparable to steel!
"Pierce through you, old geezer!" Under Nami's control, all the triangular spikes formed an impenetrable barrage, surging towards Onigumo and blocking all his escape routes.
After multiple experiments, Nami finally discovered that only triangular cloud cones could inflict maximum damage on enemies, and the wounds they caused were extremely difficult to heal.
Onigumo's mouth twitched. He clearly sensed that all the triangular spikes were wrapped in refined Armament Haki.
Noticing this, his expression gradually turned serious.
"To have developed the Cloud-Cloud Fruit to such an extent in such a short time, I absolutely cannot let you live today."
His killing intent grew stronger!
Onigumo's long hair on his head moved without wind. The six famous swords in his hands and wrapped in his hair were also instantly covered in Armament Haki.
The dark blades reflected Onigumo's unwavering gaze: "Die for me!"
"Eight-Sword Style: Spider King's Halberd!!!"
Bang!!!
The battle between Nami and Onigumo officially began!
Just as the two engaged in fierce combat.
"You are Nico Robin?!" Marine Vice Admiral Dalmatian stared at the woman blocking his way.
"Bringing you back will surely be a great achievement!" Dalmatian excitedly licked his crimson lips.
Although it was his first time seeing Robin in person, rumors about her had long been widespread.
A survivor of the Ohara incident, at only eight years old, her bounty was as high as 79 million Berries.
Of course, it wasn't because of her strength, but because of her special ability to read ancient texts.
Dalmatian secretly rejoiced, wasn't this clearly a welfare delivery for him?!
Once he captured Robin and brought her back to Naval Headquarters, even if he couldn't get a promotion, he would at least get a raise.
Thinking of this, Dalmatian's mouth curved into an undisguised smile.
"Robin, surrender!" Dalmatian sneered, and his skin instantly grew black and white spotted fur.
Zoan-type: Dog-Dog Fruit, Dalmatian Form.
As a veteran Marine Vice Admiral, Dalmatian almost immediately transformed into his strongest Human-Beast Form.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
On the battlefield, he would not underestimate any opponent.
"Hehehe, you're really confident, but the Captain is working so hard, so as a crew member, of course I can't drag him down." Robin glanced at Reno with a sense of security.
She would definitely not lose this battle.
"A mayfly trying to shake a tree, overestimating yourself!" Dalmatian snorted coldly, his tall body rapidly rushing towards Robin.
"Rankyaku: Dalmatian Tail Whip!"
His feet were already wrapped in powerful Armament Haki, aiming for a single decisive blow.
Robin watched the approaching Dalmatian expressionlessly, crossing her arms over her chest. Activating her Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) Ability, "Ten-Flower Bloom: Clutch!!!"
Cherry blossoms danced, and in Dalmatian's disbelieving gaze, ten pitch-black arms suddenly grew all over his body.
Fear began to spread.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, Vice Admiral Dalmatian, we're here to help you!"
Dozens of well-trained Marine Soldiers, holding flintlock pistols, aimed at Nami and Robin, frantically pulling their triggers.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Tat tat tat
Gunfire continuously erupted, a large number of bullets poured out, creating whooshing sounds as they flew towards the two women.
"A bunch of annoying guys!"
Above, Reno stood proudly, his fingertip lightly tapping, and all the bullets were instantly destroyed.
At the same time, lightning bolts as thick as a bowl precisely struck the Marine Soldiers. Accompanied by screams of agony, all the Marines were charred black on the outside and tender on the inside, with black smoke rising from their bodies.
Reno did not continue to act.
Nami and Robin were not hothouse flowers; they needed the tempering of battle.
And Onigumo and Dalmatian could serve as their touchstones.
Looking at the numerous Marines sprawled on the deck, their lives extinguished, Garp's face instantly darkened.
"Reno!!!" Garp gritted his teeth, anger rising, "Kizaru, you go help Onigumo and Dalmatian. I'll deal with this brat immediately."
Killing so many Marine Soldiers right in front of him gave Reno face!
Double anger buff stacked!
Kizaru glanced indifferently at the other two battlefields, raising an eyebrow.
He had originally thought the two duels would be without suspense, but the situation had completely reversed.
It was Nami and Robin who were gaining the upper hand.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Kizaru's body gradually became ethereal, and countless golden particles transformed into a streak of light, flying towards both battlefields.
"Kizaru, did I tell you to leave?!" A cold sneer appeared on Reno's lips. The next second, he instantly vanished!
Garp's pupils comically shot out, then quickly retracted.
He vanished!!
Reynold just disappeared, just like that?!
"Kizaru, watch out!!" Garp suddenly turned his head.
"Too late!!!"
Reynold had already appeared in front of Kizaru, his Haki-clad right leg kicking fiercely towards Kizaru's chest.
"What?!!" Kizaru's pupils constricted, his expression utterly horrified.
In a panic, he could only cross his arms, blocking in front of him.
Boom!!!
The next second, Kizaru was kicked directly away, returning to Garp's side.
Reynold also appeared at the same time.
"Kizaru, don't harbor any petty thoughts. Your opponent is me." Reynold looked at the two of them coldly.
Pika Pika no Mi, right?! Known for speed, right?!
Teleportation, get acquainted.
Garp and Kizaru exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
The speed Reynold burst out with just now was wrong; it wasn't speed at all, but a direct disappearance.
Their Observation Haki had been active the entire time, clearly capturing the instant Reynold's movement began and the moment he reappeared.
But there was no intermediate process of movement.
Having reached this conclusion, Garp and Kizaru no longer had their previous relaxed demeanor, replaced by expressions of solemnity.
"Reynold, what ability did you use just now?!" Kizaru asked in a deep voice, his face gloomy.
Reynold looked at Kizaru with an expression like he was looking at an idiot, "Idiot, are we that familiar?!"
He was an Admiral, after all, yet he was asking an enemy about their abilities during a fight.
He must have gotten stupid from slacking off.
Kizaru's face turned ashen after being rebuked, glaring at Reynold.
"Vice Admiral Garp, this kid's ability is a bit strange. Let's work together to take him down first." Kizaru had already given up on the idea of going to provide support.
He was now very interested in the ability Reynold had just displayed.
Garp also didn't overthink it, nodding in response.
"Reynold, to make Vice Admiral Garp and I team up against a rookie pirate, you are the first in history!!!"
"Light Speed Kick!!!"
A dazzling golden light shone from Kizaru's body, and the next second, the golden light attacked Reynold with lightning speed.
He had used this move to teach countless rookie pirates a lesson.
"Hahahahahahaha... Reynold, this time let's see how you run!!!"
Garp was not to be outdone, his fists wrapped in high-density Armament Haki, and his figure flashed.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, surrounded Reynold in a pincer attack.
He refused to believe it; firmly locked on by the Observation Haki of two top powerhouses, Reynold still wouldn't be able to escape.
"Reynold, have you ever been kicked by light?!"
"Taste this old man's iron fist!!!"
Kizaru and Garp's attacks arrived in an instant; in their eyes, Reynold was already a bird in a cage.
Reynold glanced at the two of them disdainfully, just as Kizaru's long leg and Garp's furious iron fist were about to land on him.
Teleport!
Reynold's figure suddenly vanished.
Garp and Kizaru's expressions changed simultaneously, but it was too late.
Bang!!!
Kizaru's Light Speed Kick and Garp's iron fist collided with a crash.
A powerful energy shockwave swept out, hitting both of them simultaneously, and Kizaru and Garp both retreated.
Reynold seized the opportunity, and before Kizaru could stabilize himself, he flashed directly in front of him, unleashing a punch wrapped in high-density Armament Haki, striking directly at his face.
Kizaru's face changed drastically; in a flash of lightning, Armament Haki covered his entire body.
The next second, boom!!
Kizaru was directly sent flying!!
"Bastard!!!" Garp roared, moving quickly to Kizaru's side, helping him absorb the force of the blow.
"You scared the old man to death." Kizaru felt a lingering fear, the dark color on his body slowly fading, as he touched his slightly burning face.
He was almost disfigured.
"Vice Admiral Garp, Reynold isn't fast at all; it should be an ability similar to teleportation." Kizaru gradually noticed the clues.
If before he only had suspicions, now, he could basically confirm it.
Garp's face was grim, and he nodded slightly, agreeing with Kizaru's point of view.
"So what if you found out?!" Reynold clasped his hands behind his head, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
0... Please give me flowers --- You know my ability, but you just can't do anything about me.
As long as he had the power of teleportation, he would always be undefeated.
"Hahahahahaha... Reynold, this old man has traversed the seas for decades, what strange abilities haven't I seen?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, to use the power of teleportation, you must consume a lot of stamina. This old man wants to see how many times you can use it."
"Kizaru, take him down!!!"
Garp took the lead, his entire body covered in ink-black Armament Haki, like a cannonball leaving the barrel, he shot towards Reynold.
Kizaru's mouth curved slightly. Was Vice Admiral Garp finally getting serious?!
Then he couldn't slack off either!
"Yasakani no Magatama!!!"
Kizaru flashed into the sky, his body emitting a dazzling golden light.
He crossed his hands over his chest, forming a delicate gesture.
Within the space in front, golden particles were generated, instantly enveloping an area of several hundred meters.
You can teleport, right?!
The greater the distance, the greater the stamina consumption!
"Reynold, this time let's see where you run!!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Endless golden light, simultaneously receiving commands, poured down on Reynold like a torrential storm.
"Reynold, take another punch from this old man!!!" Garp, with surging momentum, swung his iron fist and teleported over, smashing mercilessly towards Reynold's face.
The power of this punch was enough to easily shatter a mountain peak!!
"Hahahahaha... Good timing!!!" Reynold laughed loudly.
You really thought he had no other tricks, did you?!
Rumble
Rumble
Violent silver lightning began to rage wildly.
Reynold bathed in the silver ocean... His eyes flashed with cold light, and he slammed his right hand down!
"Wide Area · Divine Punishment!"
Rumble
Ten thousand silver lightning bolts struck down furiously.
The powerful destructive force and impact tore through the entire sky, deafening.
Lightning filled the sky, colliding with countless golden particles.
Boom boom boom!!!
Boom boom boom!!!
The directly ignited golden particles caused a chain of massive explosions, the sky became a sea of fire, and powerful hot air currents swept in all directions, directly engulfing and pulverizing several nearby tall towers.
Nami and the other three, who were in the midst of fierce battle, all changed their expressions and immediately moved to a safer battlefield.
Boom boom boom!!
Boom boom boom!!!
The massive explosion lasted for a full minute, with towering flames shooting into the sky, forming a gigantic mushroom cloud above Judicial Island.
"Brat, don't be too arrogant!!" Garp charged over with an enraged iron fist, the dark fist flashing with a cold glint in the sunlight.
"Old man, don't act superior in front of me!!" Reynold snorted coldly, his silver-white eyes looking at Garp indifferently.
The next second, thick, barrel-sized bolts of lightning, at Reynold's summoning, mercilessly struck towards Garp.
Garp's face changed drastically, his body twisting and turning, his Observation Haki at full power, dodging the lightning attacks.
Even if these lightning bolts couldn't cause him fatal damage, avoiding harm was a human instinct.
Unless it was an exchange of injuries, no one would directly withstand an enemy's attack.
Even so, Garp couldn't dodge in time and was struck by several lightning bolts.
Although they didn't break through his Haki defense, Garp still felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.
"Reynold, that's enough from you!!!"
"ama no murakumo sword!"
A furious voice rang out, a golden light flashed, and Kizaru suddenly appeared behind Reynold.
In his hand, he tightly gripped a long sword made of condensed golden photons, and he swung the sword to cut at Reynold's head.
Reynold tilted his head, dodging Kizaru's slash, then quickly retreated.
Looking at the ama no murakumo sword in Kizaru's hand, Reynold's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"I'll play with you guys properly!"
magic blade thousand blades, unsheathed!
"Reynold, no matter what, I will capture you and bring you back to Naval Headquarters today!!" Garp tore off his slightly damaged upper garment, revealing his muscular chest.
An unprecedentedly powerful aura surged within him, rising steadily.
If Reynold was allowed to continue growing, he might become even more dangerous than the Yonko in the future.
"Oh, oh, Vice Admiral Garp is completely enraged now." Kizaru's eyes widened in surprise.
The last time Garp got angry was several years ago, but back then he was facing a Four Emperor.
Now, however, it was a... rookie pirate.
"Hahahaha Kizaru, you really think highly of yourselves, so what?!"
"Can you tell me what the consequences will be for enraging Garp?!"
Reino shook his head disdainfully.
Kizaru was stunned, his expression completely sinking.
"These brats nowadays are really arrogant!!!" Kizaru squinted slightly, no longer having any intention of fishing in troubled waters.
If he didn't show some real skill, they would really think he, an Admiral, was just a figurehead!
