"Ahhhhhh! Enemies really appeared!"
Nami's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the yellow-haired man descending from the sky. He wore a black pirate skull bandana and swung a long staff crackling with dark blue lightning, bringing it down fiercely toward them.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!"
Above him, a monkey screeched sharply, its eyes unnervingly intelligent. With casual ease, it tossed a stone downward.
What made it terrifying was the Armament Haki coating its hand.
Whoosh!
The stone vanished mid-air.
Swish!
In the next instant, it reappeared right in front of Shirogai, still coated in Haki.
"Hehe…"
Shirogai simply smiled, completely still, watching the incoming attack without the slightest intention to move.
Crack!!!!
A black blade flashed forward, lightning crackling along its edge as it struck the stone away.
Boom!!!
The Haki-infused stone shot off toward a distant pirate ship.
Bang!
On the ship, Lucky Roux calmly fired a shot without even lifting his head, hitting the falling stone with perfect precision.
Splash, splash…
The bullet shattered the Haki-coated stone into fine powder that scattered into the sea.
"A monkey using Armament Haki? Impressive. But…"
Zoro's sharp gaze locked onto the man and the monkey. His grip tightened on his sword, his aura fierce and unrestrained.
"There's no way I'd let you get anywhere near the commander so easily."
"Squeak, squeak!!!"
Swish!
Monda suddenly dropped from above, diving straight into the group and launching a punch at his chosen target.
"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!"
Chopper's eyes widened as he reacted. His body expanded into his human form as he threw a punch to meet the attack.
Bang!
In the next moment, Chopper was sent flying.
Boom! Boom!
He crashed through multiple trees, unable to stop himself as he was hurled deep into the forest.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!"
Monda clapped gleefully, chattering with excitement.
"That monkey is insanely strong!"
The others tensed, ready to act.
But Monda had already leapt into the trees, moving swiftly as he chased after Chopper.
"Chopper!"
Zoro and Usopp prepared to follow.
"Don't worry, Chopper will be fine."
Shirogai raised a hand, stopping them without even looking away from the battlefield below.
"Your opponents haven't stepped up yet."
His gaze remained fixed on Red-Haired Shanks aboard the Red Force.
"Good spirit, kid!"
Rocks laughed mid-air, his staff coated in Armament Haki as it came crashing down.
Bang!
Before it could land, a figure intercepted it.
A powerful kick deflected the lightning-charged staff.
"Hoo…"
Sanji hovered in the air, cigarette in hand, exhaling smoke as his golden hair swayed.
"It seems you're comfortable fighting in the air."
Rocks spun his staff and rested it behind him, grinning with interest.
"Black Leg Sanji. You can fight in the air too? Good. You'll be my opponent."
Swish!
He vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared behind Sanji.
"Lightning Rod Flash!!!"
Crackling energy surged as the staff struck toward Sanji's back.
"Rear Rib Roast!!!"
Sanji reacted instantly, his Observation Haki guiding him as he turned and kicked.
Clang!
Haki clashed violently between them.
"Nice kick… but…"
Rocks smirked.
"This staff carries far more than just force."
Zap!!!
Lightning surged violently from the staff into Sanji's body.
"Ugh…"
Sanji's body trembled as electricity coursed through him.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Sanji!"
Nami-san shouted in panic from below.
"Don't worry, Nami-san. I'm just playing with him."
Sanji straightened up casually, brushing himself off as if nothing happened. He flashed her a charming smile before turning back to Rocks.
"I've taken much stronger lightning before and developed resistance. That kind of attack won't work on me."
Rocks stared at him for a moment.
"Impressive. But don't assume that was my strongest attack."
Crack!!
His staff erupted with even more intense lightning, the sky itself trembling under its power.
Boom!!!
…
On the Red Force:
"Arf!"
Lucky Roux continued eating, speaking between bites.
"Looks like Rocks won't finish this quickly."
Benn Beckman watched the battle calmly.
"Anyone standing beside Luffy and God King Shirogai wouldn't be ordinary."
Yasopp crouched low, then launched himself upward, using the cliff as a stepping point to climb higher.
"Too high… this works better."
Shanks laughed lightly.
"Gabu, give us a roar."
Roaring Gabu stepped forward.
"Woo…"
His massive jaws opened, energy gathering rapidly into a glowing sphere aimed at Shirogai's position.
"Woo woo woo…"
The energy grew denser and brighter.
…
On the cliff:
"Franky, you figured out how Pacifista fire lasers, right?"
Shirogai glanced at him with a faint smile.
"Show them."
"Awooo! Got it!"
Franky leapt forward enthusiastically.
"Super!!!"
He took a deep breath.
"Open!"
A vertical eye split open on his forehead, joining his two normal eyes as all three fired blinding yellow beams downward.
"Franky Three-Eye Laser!!!"
Boom!!!
At the same time, Gabu released his attack.
"Sonic Cannon!!!!"
The massive energy blast surged upward, tearing through everything in its path.
Whoosh!!!
Franky's beams converged into a single massive laser sphere descending from above.
Boom!!!!
The two attacks collided violently in mid-air.
"Crackling…"
For a split second, everything froze.
Then a massive shockwave exploded outward.
Boom!!!!!!!
The sea churned violently as waves surged in all directions.
On the Red Force, everyone except Shanks and Benn was forced backward.
The ship rocked under the pressure.
On the cliff, destruction spread rapidly.
The ground collapsed.
The Straw Hat crew were blasted away, scattering through the air.
…
"Cough… cough…"
After some time, Nami-san slowly regained her senses.
Her ears rang as she forced her eyes open.
"Where am I…?"
She sat up, dazed.
Then she froze.
"This is… what?!"
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"The cliff… it's completely flattened?"
