Nami held a special weapon in her hand, custom-made in the workshops of the Dressrosa Kingdom, composed of three rod-like sections joined together.
Nami named her weapon the 'Clima-Tact'; she could use this strange weapon to change the weather within a certain range.
Watching Nami over the past two days, Hera always felt something was missing from her hands. After some thought, he realized that after Nami ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit,
she hadn't applied her knowledge as a Navigator to combat as she originally would have, relying more on her Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Two-Color Haki to attack enemies.
With Hera's reminder, Nami realized the potential use of weather in battle and thus forged this special weapon,
wanting to test its effects.
Boo and Sai turned back together, warily watching the girl who had suddenly appeared, and tightened their grip on their weapons.
Boo and Sai exchanged a look, and seeing each other's thoughts, the Armament Haki within their bodies already entwined around their weapons.
Nami looked at the Armament Haki coating Sai's blade and Boo's fist, releasing her own aura as strands of lightning emerged from her body:
"It seems you two don't want to distance yourselves after all."
"Who told him to be our grandfather? Even if he causes trouble, we can't abandon our family."
'Hasshoken', a technique passed down through generations of the Happo Navy, erupted from their hands, one from the left and one from the right, piercing Nami's body.
With their attacks, Nami's body dissipated instantly on the spot.
Within their Observation Haki perception, several of Nami's figures appeared on their ship.
"Can't you even tell that figure was just my mirage? You really are a bunch of fools."
At the same time Sai and Boo attacked, Nami had already unleashed her 'Thunder Flicker: Mirage', using the heat and magnetic fields generated when she elementalized
to distort light and create illusions of herself, surrounding the two.
Surrounded by Nami alone, the two stood back-to-back, watching the illusions around them and trying to find a flaw in Nami's defense.
The Clima-Tact in Nami's hand released bursts of lightning that dissipated into the air. 'Thunder Net: Heaven's Net' had been quietly laid out, combining Observation Haki with her Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Even the subtle electrical currents of the human body could not escape Nami's perception. Within the range of 'Thunder Net: Heaven's Net', every movement of the enemy was under Nami's control.
"Haven't found a flaw yet? Then I won't wait for you."
Dark, heavy clouds gathered over their heads, and the pressure contained within made the two beneath them tremble with fear.
Although they didn't know what was in the dark clouds, they could feel that once this cloud finished charging, their Armament Haki wouldn't be able to withstand it at all.
Knowing they couldn't wait any longer, Sai swung his long blade, working with Boo to break all the surrounding illusions before discovering Nami sitting on their ship.
Nami estimated the distance from the ship to the shore and stood up: "This distance is just right. Any further and I'd have to carry you back."
The current in her hand was no longer hidden, transforming into a more violent form and electrocuting Boo and Sai.
Sai and Boo quickly activated their Armament Haki, intending to block this surge of electricity, but it wasn't as powerful as they had imagined and was easily blocked by them.
Sai and Boo looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing: "Is this all the current you've got? It's not even enough to tickle us, brat."
Nami had already turned her back to them and was walking toward the stern, pointing her finger at the sky: "Still not defending? Don't blame me if you die. 'Thundercloud: God's Decree'."
A threat of death formed above their heads, and only then did the two realize that the previous current was merely a prelude to this strike.
Nami had already heard Hera's command not to kill them, so the previous current was only to gauge the level of their Armament Haki.
It was just to adjust the strength for the subsequent blow; Nami didn't want to accidentally roast these two alive by failing to control the lightning's power.
Following Nami's declaration, the thunderclouds in the sky finally brought down Divine Punishment. Pitch-black lightning struck at their feet, and the massive explosion blasted Sai and Boo all the way to the shore.
Then, Nami looked somewhat worriedly toward the place where the Haoshoku was clashing: "I wonder if Hancock can hold back her strength. Can that old man block it?"
After Chinjao unleashed his Haoshoku, he saw that Hera, whom he was targeting, felt nothing and even had the strength to protect everyone present.
Chinjao was shocked by Hera's unfathomable strength and calmed down slightly, remembering that this girl seemed to have already grown into a Marine Admiral.
When Hancock's Haoshoku erupted and clashed with his, Chinjao's somewhat calmed mind became muddled again.
"Forget Hera, now this little girl wants to compete with me too?"
As a pirate who had fought Garp in his youth, Chinjao had his own pride; he didn't believe that any random person who came out could be stronger than him.
Chinjao's Armament Haki gathered at his flattened head as he used his ultimate move without reservation, wanting to give Hera a show of force.
'Hasshoken Secret Technique: Dragon Drill'.
Watching him charge at her, Hancock also became a bit more serious. Nine tails emerged behind her as she entered her Hybrid Form.
"Nine Tails: Great Perfume Femur!" With Hancock's shout, Armament Haki condensed on her leg as she performed a spinning kick, striking directly at the incoming Chinjao.
Chinjao was like a high-speed football, kicked hard to the ground by Hancock. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the spot.
This brutal scene made Hera cover his eyes, peering through his fingers at Chinjao, who happened to be kicked right in front of him. He couldn't help but say:
"Sigh, this is a bit too brutal. Hancock, he's an old man; you're not showing any respect for your elders at all."
Hancock's face turned red, and she jumped right to Hera's side, her tails wrapping around him:
"I saw this man charging straight at me and thought he was strong, but I didn't expect him to be so fragile. Had I known, I wouldn't have used my devil fruit ability to enhance the attack."
Then, looking at Chinjao, who was twitching on the ground like a pile of pixels, Riku Dold III's mouth couldn't help but twitch a couple of times as well.
