Chapter 264: The Jump-Jump Fruit
Bang!
Wyper leapt into the air and slashed out with the wind blade in his hand.
Clang, clang…
Rakuyo yanked the chain, instantly blocking the wind blade.
The meteor hammer then smashed back toward him.
After landing, Wyper's body suddenly began weaving and shifting like a snake.
Buzz!
The wind blade abruptly transformed into a blade of fire, surging forward while radiating boundless heat.
Boom!
The meteor hammer slammed down toward him. Wyper dodged aside, and it crashed into the ground, blasting out a massive crater.
"Is dodging all you can do?" Rakuyo shouted angrily, provoked by Wyper's constant jumping and evasive movements.
"Then take this attack," Wyper said helplessly.
He was already right in front of Rakuyo now, with the Reject Dial in his left hand facing backward toward him.
A chill ran through Rakuyo's body. He knew he couldn't take this head-on.
He swung the meteor hammer down with all his strength.
A terrifying force erupted from the Reject Dial.
Boom—!!
A deafening explosion rang out. The meteor hammer was blasted straight back by the overwhelming impact, slamming viciously into Rakuyo himself.
"Pfft…"
Rakuyo spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying.
At the same moment, Wyper's feet seemed to turn into springs. As the Reject Dial's force erupted, he jumped hard, soaring dozens of meters into the air, the shockwave launching him away.
"Uh… someone actually dared to take a Reject Dial head-on?!"
Seeing Rakuyo's move, Buck and the others were stunned.
They knew exactly how powerful the Reject Dial was. Even for them, using it once would result in light injuries—or even serious ones.
Before Wyper ate the Jump-Jump Fruit, even he hadn't dared to use the Reject Dial.
Yes, he had eaten the Jump-Jump Fruit.
The Spin-Spin Fruit had been eaten by Kamakiri.
Bang!
Rakuyo crashed into the ground.
"Rakuyo…" Marco hurried over and helped him up.
"I'll do it!"
Jozu, who had been watching from the side with mounting frustration, finally roared and stepped forward.
The mighty Whitebeard Pirates had been beaten into this state by a rookie pirate crew.
"Diamond Jozu—he has incredible defensive power!"
Buck looked at Jozu and felt a sense of pressure. Their offensive power didn't seem quite strong enough. If it were Brother Jonathan, maybe—but their own attack strength… seemed lacking.
Jiang Qize watched the scene without saying a word.
They needed to suffer a setback at the right time. Diamond Jozu was someone who could block Mihawk's slashes without injury—his defense was absolutely top-tier.
Not something they could break through at their current level.
"I'll fight!"
At that moment, a voice rang out—still carrying a hint of youth, yet icy cold.
Everyone looked over.
They saw Enel, a skinny boy barely over five feet tall, walking forward.
"Does your Dragon Flame Pirates crew have no one left? You're sending out a kid?"
Seeing Enel, Jozu instantly felt insulted and shouted angrily.
Enel was only around eleven years old—just a little kid.
"Win first, then talk!"
The others shot back immediately.
From start to finish, no one in the Dragon Flame Pirates had ever underestimated Enel. After eating the Dinosaur Fruit, Enel's physique was even stronger than theirs. Combined with the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, if Enel fought with his life on the line, they would all end up seriously injured—or dead.
"Hmph!" Jozu snorted coldly.
He then walked to the center of the battlefield.
Enel also stepped forward, his expression icy.
"Don't cry later, kid," Jozu said coldly.
He wasn't holding back just because Enel was young. He knew very well that Enel was a Bomb Man. As he spoke, his body transformed into chunks of diamond, glittering with blinding brilliance.
If girls on Earth saw this scene, they would probably go crazy.
