Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Kraken’s Shock, Is This Wood Dragon a Bit Too Hard?!

"The enemies actually all ran away..."

Chopper, standing atop the Brachiosaurus Tank, crossed his arms and laughed. "It seems they’re really afraid of us!"

"Naturally!" Usopp said with a smug grin.

Under his control, the Brachiosaurus Tank’s attacks hit their mark every time—how could the enemies not be terrified?

"By the way, can my Devil Fruit Ability simply enhance the shells inside this Brachiosaurus Tank?" Usopp wondered to himself.

Thinking this, Usopp decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, he couldn’t enhance one object through another at the moment.

Unless he increased his ability output to enlarge the whole thing, it was impossible to do what he wanted.

"It looks like I can only enhance everything together," Usopp muttered.

"What?"

Merry looked at Usopp in confusion. Had he just said something?

"Nothing, just a thought," Usopp shook his head.

"Hey, everyone, let’s go take out the enemy’s officers!" Chopper declared, waving a hand. "Target, the area ahead—advance!"

"Roger!"

Usopp nodded upon receiving the order, then maneuvered the Brachiosaurus Tank forward, charging swiftly ahead.

Just then, Daruma emerged from the ground, his sharp gaze fixed on Chopper.

"Cackle cackle..."

"You despicable human..."

At this point, Daruma suddenly paused, then looked at Chopper in confusion. "Despicable... tanuki?"

"Bastard, I’m a reindeer!"

Hearing this, Chopper opened his shark-like mouth and roared, "I have antlers!"

What’s wrong with these guys’ eyes? Why do they all think he’s a tanuki?

He’s a reindeer, damn it!

"Never mind, it doesn’t matter," Daruma shook his head. "Anyway, none of you can escape my pursuit."

"Anyone can talk big!" Chopper snorted, pointing a finger at Daruma. "Usopp, fire! Take him out!"

"Roger!"

Usopp nodded, then aimed the cannon toward Daruma, intending to blast this officer away with one shot.

But unfortunately... the moment he turned the cannon, Daruma had already burrowed underground!

"Huh?"

"What’s up with this guy?" Usopp was dumbfounded.

Why can this guy dig into the ground?

"I’m over here, you idiot!"

Daruma emerged from another direction, taunting Chopper. "Come and hit me!"

"Damn it, Usopp!"

"Roger!"

Usopp, who had also spotted Daruma, immediately swung the cannon around, but alas... he still couldn’t keep up with Daruma’s speed.

"Damn it, this guy is too fast!"

"Cackle... You’ll never catch me!" Daruma laughed loudly. "Get ready to face my move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Brachiosaurus Tank began to shake violently, and then the massive tank plummeted into a deep pit along with the ground!

"Oh no, it’s a trap!" Chopper cried out in alarm.

"BOOM!!"

"This is my Ultimate Move: Daruma Trap Fall!" Daruma, who had emerged from the side, sneered as he looked at Chopper on the Brachiosaurus Tank. "Now you know how powerful I am!"

"Daruma Trap Fall?"

Chopper stood up, holding his head, and looked up at Daruma. "So it’s just this pit?"

"That’s right!"

Daruma nodded proudly. "I used my sharp teeth to hollow out the ground, so I could drag you all underground!"

"Kakakaka"

Watching Daruma laugh maniacally, Chopper’s expression darkened. They had actually fallen for such a simple trick. It was really...

"Hey, Chopper, are you all okay?!"

"Huh?"

"Another one, huh." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Glancing at Franky charging over on the Black Rhinoceros, Daruma sneered. "Looks like I’ll make this idiot on the motorcycle fall into the trap too!"

"Watch me dig..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Franky riding the Black Rhinoceros rush past him and then... plunge headfirst into the trap he had just created.

Daruma: "!"

Watching the man fall into the trap in a panic, Daruma was dumbfounded.

"Is this guy an idiot?!"

How could he fall into such an obvious trap?

Then, Daruma grew somewhat confused.

Their subordinates had been taken out by someone like this... Could it be that their subordinates were idiots too?

Thinking this, Daruma fell into deep thought.

"What are these guys even doing?" Meiser twitched his lips.

Although he didn’t know how strong this Daruma was, given Usopp and the others’ abilities, defeating him head-on shouldn’t be too difficult.

"You damn bastard..." Franky in the pit said with an angry expression. "I won’t let you get away with this!"

Then, Franky grabbed the people on the Brachiosaurus Tank and tossed them out of the trap, shouting, "You guys get out first!"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Ah!"

"Kakakaka"

Watching the people Franky threw out, Daruma immediately burst into delighted laughter. "Having an internal conflict, are we?"

Seems like these guys aren’t much either. "Hey, Franky, what are you doing?!" Usopp stared dumbfounded at Franky below. "Why did you throw us out?"

"Yeah, I’m the commander!"

"That’s because this thing can only seat one person," Franky said.

"Only one person?"

Merry’s head filled with question marks. What... does that mean?

Weren’t these two machines supposed to seat several people?

"You’ll find out soon!" Franky gave them a thumbs-up, then rushed to the machine and shouted, "Transformation time!"

"Transformation?"

Usopp was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with excitement. "Could it be..."

Chopper and Merry seemed to realize something too, both showing excited expressions.

"That’s right, just as you thought," Franky laughed heartily. "Witness this incredible power!"

"Black Rhino FR-U No. 4!"

"Brachiosaurus Tank No. 5!"

"Combine and Transform!!"

The next moment, the two machines flew into the air and assembled at incredible speed into a giant steel robot!

"Iron Pirate: General Franky, reporting for duty!"

"Whoa!!"

Watching this cool giant robot, the trio’s eyes lit up with excitement.

"This is literally the dream combination robot!"

"So cool!"

"It really is awesome!"

Luffy also stared at General Franky with shining eyes, so excited he could hardly contain himself.

Meanwhile, the Fish-men looked at General Franky in shock and exclaimed, "Hey, what the hell is this thing now?"

Why did those two machines just randomly combine like that?

Does that even make sense?

"Although I don’t know what this is, it’s probably just another flashy but useless thing," Daruma said. "Get him, take him down!"

"Whoa!!"

Upon receiving the order, the Fish-men let out a roar and charged toward General Franky, howling with fury.

"Flashy but useless?"

Franky glanced at Daruma and sneered, "You’re underestimating General Franky too much!"

When those two machines were separate, their strength was indeed nothing special.

But... now, he was in super invincible robot mode!

Then, Franky shouted, "You guys, bring it on!"

"Kill!"

Ignoring Franky’s words, the Fish-men brandished their weapons and lunged forward.

The next moment—

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

"Wha—"

Watching General Franky send the Fish-men flying with a single blow, Daruma was instantly dumbfounded.

Did its power really increase that much?

Meanwhile, Usopp and the other two let out exclamations of amazement.

"That’s incredible!"

"Hmph, it’s too early for you to be amazed," Franky laughed loudly. "Because I’ve got something even more impressive!"

As he spoke, Franky manipulated General Franky to draw the large sword from its back, then continued, "Let me show you the power of this Plunderer’s Sword: Fran Sword!"

"So cool!"

Seeing that enormous weapon, the trio grew even more excited.

"It’s not over yet!"

Franky shouted, "Try this move—Franky... Spinning Wheel!"

As soon as the words fell, General Franky, holding the weapon, began spinning wildly, slashing at the surrounding Fish-men with its blade.

"Not good, jump!"

Seeing the approaching sword, the Fish-men were forced to leap into the air to dodge the attack.

But because of this, they lost their chance to escape General Franky’s attack range.

"Damn robot, why is your fighting style so dirty!" one Fish-man cursed.

Who specifically aims for the lower body like that?!

"What do you know?" Franky snorted. "This is just one part of my move."

"One part?"

The Fish-men were stunned for a moment, then their expressions turned fearful. Could it be that this guy still had some terrifying move he hadn’t used yet?

"That’s right!"

Franky laughed loudly. "Next, I’m going to use the cannons on my shoulders to attack you while you’re in the air!"

"What?!"

"There are cannons on its shoulders too?!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly. "Then..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Franky emerge from the cockpit himself, firing the cannons mounted on his shoulders.

"BOOM!!"

"BOOM!!"

"BOOM!!"

Usopp: ?

Seeing this, several question marks instantly popped up above Usopp’s head.

"Why are you firing the cannons yourself?!" Usopp roared, his mouth wide open like a shark’s.

"Just tell me, was it cool or not?"

Hearing Franky’s words, the trio exchanged glances, then burst out laughing together. "Cool!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Don’t rush!"

Back inside the cockpit, Franky said with a laugh, "There are new weapons too!"

"There’s more?"

Hearing this, the trio grew even more excited. What kind of weapons could they be?

"Let me show you right now!"

As he spoke, Franky maneuvered the Franky Shogun to topple sideways, crushing several Fish-men beneath it.

"Franky... Shogun Crush!"

"BOOM!!"

"Ah!"

The crushed Fish-men let out agonized screams, their faces contorted in pain.

"Whoa!!"

"Franky Shogun!"

"So cool!"

Nami, who had been watching the distant reactions, twitched her mouth and said, "Why is Merry acting like that too..."

"And besides, what’s so cool about that?"

It was just the most ordinary body crush.

"Perhaps their tastes are just different from ours~" Nico Robin said with a chuckle.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the birth of this robot was related to that combined transformation two years ago.

Thinking of this, Nico Robin fell into deep thought.

"Tastes?"

Looking at the pensive Nico Robin, Nami fell silent.

When it came to tastes... Robin seemed pretty unique herself.

"Although I don’t know what’s up with this big guy, as long as we get him underground, it should be fine," Daruma said.

That way... this big guy would be done for!

With that thought, Daruma quickly burrowed underground and began digging.

Noticing this, Chopper snorted and said, "As if I’d let you succeed!"

With that, his body began to change.

As time passed, he grew much taller, and the pair of horns on his head became enormous!

Once the transformation was complete, Chopper plunged headfirst into the ground, charging toward the digging Daruma.

A moment later—

"BOOM!!"

"Ah!"

Struck by Chopper’s long horns, Daruma screamed as he was sent flying out of the ground!

"Huh?!"

Seeing Daruma sent flying, the surrounding Fish-men were stunned.

"Mr. Daruma was actually sent flying?"

"Bastard, who did this?!" Daruma roared mid-air.

Who on earth had knocked him out of the ground?!

"It was me!"

Chopper, who had flown out alongside him, grinned and said, "I’m the one who knocked you flying!"

"When it comes to digging, I’m pretty good at it too!"

In his Horn Power Enhancement state, he could also move quickly underground!

"Chopper, you’re so cool!"

Luffy approached Chopper, looking him up and down. "You even learned how to turn into a rhinoceros beetle, that’s amazing!"

Chopper: ?

Rhinoceros beetle?

"I’m not a rhinoceros beetle, you idiot!" Chopper roared, his mouth wide open like a shark’s.

Who ever heard of a rhinoceros beetle with two horns?!

"So what’s going on with you?" Merry asked curiously.

That horn looked much bigger than before.

"Of course it’s the result of two years of hard work!" Chopper said with a smile. "Over these two years, I’ve strengthened all seven transformation points!"

"Now, except for the giant transformation which still requires a Rumble Ball, I can freely change into the others!"

And this was his greatest achievement over the past two years!

His strength was now even greater than before!

Merry thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "So have you awakened?"

"Awakened?"

Chopper was taken aback. What awakening?

"I heard from Granny Nyon that Devil Fruit Ability Users can possibly awaken," Merry explained. "Once you develop your ability to the point of awakening, your strength can improve by leaps and bounds!"

She felt Chopper’s current condition seemed like an awakening.

"There’s actually such a thing?!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise.

Abilities can awaken too?

What effect would his ability have once awakened?

Super multiplication?

But Chopper shook his head and said, "I don’t know if I’ve awakened or not."

No one had ever told him about such things, so he wasn’t sure.

He only knew he had become stronger.

"Hey, you arrogant coral bastard over there!" Daruma shouted angrily. "Don’t get too cocky!"

"This isn’t coral, it’s a horn!" Chopper first yelled back, then grinned. "And... what if I am arrogant?"

"I’m an arrogant monster!"

"Awooo!"

Meiser: —

Hearing Chopper’s somewhat inexplicable howl, Meiser’s mouth twitched slightly.

Is that how reindeer sound?

Just then, Hody in the distance moved.

He slowly rose from his seat, looking up at Kraken as he said, "Kraken!"

"Roar?!"

Kraken, who had been chatting with Shirahoshi, broke out in a cold sweat at the sound.

"I never realized you were so clever, Kraken," Hody said with a grin. "Skillfully pleasing them, then smoothly approaching Shirahoshi... well done!"

"Now, I command you, crush Shirahoshi!"

"Roar?!"

"Roar!!"

Glancing down at Shirahoshi below, Kraken’s pupils instantly contracted to their smallest.

To make it attack this princess...

How could it face Straw Hat who treated it as a friend!

As if noticing the hesitation on Kraken’s face, Hody’s expression turned cold. "You should remember that brother of yours living in the North Pole."

"I know exactly where it is!"

"With our strength, we can easily kill it!"

"So... if you don’t want it to die by our hands, get to work obediently!"

"You slave!"

At these words, the expressions of everyone on the Straw Hat Pirates’ side changed.

"So it’s by threatening its brother’s life," Jimbei said, frowning as he looked at Hody. "No wonder Kraken obeys Hody’s commands."

What a despicable fellow.

And Meiser murmured, "So it really is pretty much as I thought."

After sweeping a glance at the struggling Kraken, Meiser instantly vanished from where he stood.

"Kraken!"

"Didn’t you hear me?!" Hody shouted loudly. "Crush Shirahoshi for me, kill her!"

As long as this big guy was willing to act, Shirahoshi was definitely dead!

"Roar..."

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

Kraken let out a pained cry upon hearing this, clearly very unwilling to carry out Hody’s command.

But for the sake of his brother’s life—

"I’m sorry, Princess Shirahoshi...

"I’m sorry, Straw Hat..."

Kraken, his body trembling, slowly extended his octopus tentacles, intending to grab Shirahoshi.

At that moment, a Wood Dragon suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly shielding Shirahoshi within its coils.

"Boom!!"

"Crack" "Roar?"

Looking at the Wood Dragon that had effortlessly blocked him, Kraken’s eyes immediately showed a trace of shock.

This strange thing could withstand his strength?

How was that possible?

"Big Brother Meiser!"

Glancing at Meiser standing on his shoulder, Shirahoshi’s eyes instantly filled with excitement.

"Mhm."

Meiser nodded to Shirahoshi, then looked up at Kraken and said, "Little Squid, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Roar..."

A trace of sorrow appeared in Kraken’s eyes, but what else could he do?

"Hey, Little Squid!"

Luffy, who had arrived nearby, looked up at Kraken and said, "So you’re obeying him to protect your brother."

"Roar!"

"Roar!!"

Upon hearing Luffy’s words, veins bulged on Kraken’s face, and his gaze toward Hody was filled with anger.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t defeat this guy, he would tear that bastard apart right now!

"I understand how you feel." Luffy adjusted his hat and said, "After all, that’s your brother."

"Back then, I gave everything I had to protect my brother too."

"So you’re not wrong either."

After saying this, Luffy paused briefly before continuing, "By the way, is your brother older or younger?"

Kraken looked at Luffy in confusion, not understanding what he meant by this.

But before he could roar out his confusion, Luffy spoke again, "Hey, Little Squid."

"Let me protect him too!"

"Roar?!"

Hearing Luffy say this, Kraken froze on the spot.

Could it be... this Straw Hat actually...

"Have you forgotten?" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "We’re friends, after all."

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Looking at that sincere smiling face, Kraken’s body immediately began to tremble, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

At this moment, he felt friendship.

That man truly wanted to protect his brother!

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

Damn it, what had he just been doing?!

At this moment, a look of remorse appeared on Kraken’s face, and the tentacle he had extended earlier unconsciously withdrew its force.

"Don’t cry." Luffy said softly. "Leave it to me with peace of mind."

With that, the man turned around and walked toward Hody without another word.

"Roar..."

"Just as Luffy said, trust him." Meiser said. "He’ll resolve everything."

After speaking, Meiser patted Kraken’s tentacle, signaling that he shouldn’t blame himself too much either.

But unfortunately, such words not only failed to calm Kraken down, but instead made this deep-sea monster cry even harder.

Seeing this, Meiser shook his head helplessly, then turned to Shirahoshi and said, "Were you scared?"

"No."

Shirahoshi shook her head and replied, "I believe you can protect me."

Lord Meiser and Lord Luffy said they would protect her, so they definitely will!

"You really do trust us, huh~" Meiser chuckled, then turned to look at Hody in the distance and continued, "Then just stay here and watch how Luffy defeats that guy."

At this moment, Meiser could sense the anger emanating from Luffy.

After all... Luffy was the one who cared most about his comrades!

"Mhm!" Shirahoshi nodded, then leaned on the Wood Dragon to watch Luffy in the distance.

"Hey, the Straw Hat Boy is coming!"

The Fish-Man race, seeing Luffy walking toward their boss, immediately grew tense.

But remembering their boss’s strength, their expressions quickly calmed again.

As long as this man didn’t use that move that could knock people unconscious, there was no way he could defeat Boss Hody. "You think you can take on our boss?" Dos, holding a heavy hammer, glared coldly at Luffy. "You’ll have to get past us first!"

"That’s right!"

Ikaros, gripping a Fish Gun, also stared coldly at Luffy. "Get past us first!"

Unfortunately, Luffy paid them no mind—not even a glance.

Luffy’s gaze remained fixed on Hody from start to finish!

"What an arrogant guy..." Hody said coldly. "Take him out!"

"Right!!"

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"We won’t let you get anywhere near our captain!"

Dos and Ikaros roared, then charged toward Luffy.

The next moment...

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

"Wha..."

Seeing Zoro and Sanji appear before them, Dos and Ikaros’ pupils shrank to pinpoints.

These two actually blocked their attacks?

"We’ll say the same to you!" Zoro and Sanji shouted in unison. "Don’t even think about interfering with our captain!"

"Damn it..."

Glancing at Luffy, who still hadn’t even looked their way, the two Fish-men grew furious.

Did that bastard know from the start that someone would block their attacks for him?

Bastard!

"Hody, right?" Luffy, now near Hody, stared coldly at him. "I’m definitely going to punch you flying."

"If you can do it, then try!" Hody glared back with bloodshot eyes. "Let’s see if you can!"

With that, Hody raised a hand, signaling the nearby Fish-men to finish off Luffy.

But unfortunately... Luffy didn’t give them the chance!

"Second Gear!"

"Sizzle"

Luffy’s body entered Second Gear, and he vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already right in Hody’s face.

"What?!"

Seeing Luffy suddenly appear, Hody’s pupils contracted—that damn speed again!

The next moment... "Thud!"

Hody, punched squarely in the face, went flying with a whoosh!

"Whoosh"

"Boom!!"

He slammed hard into the ruins behind him!

"Captain Hody?!"

"Captain Hody took so many Energy Steroids, and he still got punched away by the Straw Hat Boy?"

Just how strong is this Straw Hat Boy?

"Could it be that move of his that knocked out fifty thousand people... he can still use it?!" one Fish-man cried out in terror.

If that were true, they wouldn’t even need to fight.

"No, I won’t use it again," Luffy said calmly.

His Conqueror’s Haki had been unleashed toward the hundred thousand people in the plaza, but since they could withstand it, there was no point in continuing to release it, so Luffy had no intention of using it.

"So he can’t use it anymore..."

Upon hearing this, the Fish-Men immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that he couldn’t use it.

"Damn Straw Hat Boy!"

"Boom!!"

Hody, who had just shattered a massive rock with a single blow, glared coldly at Luffy and said, "You really dare to do this."

He had actually been sent flying again... Did he have no face left to lose?

"This guy is really tough," Luffy remarked in surprise.

He had thought that one hit would be enough to take him down.

"Understand now."

Standing on Shirahoshi’s shoulder, Meiser chuckled and glanced at Kraken. "Luffy isn’t just talking—he really will go!"

"Roar..."

Understanding Meiser’s meaning, Kraken nodded with emotion in his eyes.

That man wearing the straw hat truly treated him as a friend!

At that moment, hundreds of Fish-Men arrived around the Thousand Sunny, each with a fiercer expression than the last.

"Hey, let’s take this chance to finish off Shirahoshi!"

"Right, now that the guy who plays with wood is gone, let’s take her out!"

"Yeah!"

Meiser: ?

The guy who plays with wood?

Was that him?

But he was clearly right here...

After glancing down, Meiser understood what was happening.

His body was relatively small, so it was blocked by the Wood Dragon, which was why these guys couldn’t see him.

Shaking his head helplessly, Meiser looked up at Kraken and said, "Little Squid, I leave it to you."

"Roar!!"

Kraken nodded, then raised its tentacles and launched an attack on the Fish-Men below.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Its terrifying tentacles swung through the air, leaving afterimages, and within a few breaths, it had flattened the Fish-Men below into little pancakes!

"Well done, Little Squid!"

Noticing the situation, Luffy laughed heartily and said, "Leave that side to you!"

"Roar!"

Kraken seemed to have received some sacred mission, happily waving its tentacles at Luffy.

Its expression seemed to say: This time, you can leave it to me with confidence!

"Damn it, how dare you ignore me..."

Hody, who had emerged from the rubble, glared furiously at Luffy and said, "Then die, you bastard!"

"Whoosh"

The next moment, Hody appeared in front of Luffy and swung a punch straight at his head.

"Taste the power of Fish-Man Karate!"

"Thud!"

With a single blow, Luffy’s head was sent flying backward!

Seeing this, the Fish-Men immediately erupted with excitement. "Great, his head was knocked off! As expected of our boss Hody, his strength is incredible!"

"No... that’s not right!" one Fish-Man who noticed something was off cried out in terror. "His head is still attached to his neck!"

"Why is that?"

"Because I’m a Rubber Man," Luffy grinned as he flew through the air. "So it’s useless!"

"And... compared to Jimbei’s Fish-Man Karate, yours doesn’t even tickle!"

"Armament Haki: Hardening"

As soon as the words fell, Armament Haki immediately appeared on Luffy’s forehead, and then he shot back like a cannonball, charging straight toward Hody!

Seeing this, Hody immediately shouted, "Iron Armor Unit!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Iron Armor Unit rushed over, holding shields to block the path in front of Hody.

"Chop-Chop your head!" the Fish-man roared with a ferocious expression.

"Useless!" Luffy shouted, "Gomu Gomu no Bell!"

"Boom!"

"Wha..."

Watching the shield shatter from the impact of Luffy’s head, the Fish-man was completely dumbfounded.

Just how hard is this guy’s head?!

"Useless trash," Hody said through gritted teeth. "Looks like I have to do it myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already appeared behind Luffy, aiming a kick straight at Luffy’s head.

"Die, Straw Hat Boy!"

"Armament Haki: Hardening!"

"Clang!"

"What?!"

Seeing Luffy effortlessly block his attack with a raised hand, Hody immediately wore an astonished expression.

"He blocked my attack so easily?"

The power of that strike was something even a Sea Beast couldn’t withstand—how did this human manage it?

Could it be that this human’s strength surpasses even that of a Fish-Man like him?

At this thought, Hody’s expression twisted into something fierce.

Then, he opened his bloodthirsty maw wide, intending to bite Luffy’s head clean off.

But unfortunately... Luffy didn’t give him the chance!

"Gomu Gomu no Whip!"

"Thwack!!"

A long leg wrapped in Armament Haki slammed viciously into Hody’s shoulder, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Whoosh"

"Boom!!"

"Argh!"

Hody let out a pained cry as he was struck, his face contorting in agony.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe it."

Struggling to his feet despite the pain, Hody glared at Luffy through gritted teeth. "How could I possibly lose to a human like you!"

"Fish-Man Karate: Arrow Shark!"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

Countless droplets of water transformed into needle-like shapes, mercilessly shooting toward Luffy.

But to the Fish-men’s shock, even such a dense barrage couldn’t hit Luffy!

"How is this possible?!" the Fish-men exclaimed in disbelief, watching as Luffy dodged the attacks with slight tilts of his head. "It’s like he knows exactly where the attacks are coming from!"

How is this human doing it?!

"Damn it, why can’t I hit him?!" Hody snarled furiously. "Just hit him already!"

Why won’t it hit?!

"Too slow."

"What?"

"I said you’re too slow!" Luffy shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Luffy appeared right in front of Hody.

Then, under Hody’s stunned gaze, he threw a punch.

"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"

"Thump!"

"Boom!!"
