"Too weak. Too slow."
Sanji's voice rang beside Jabra like a final verdict.
That single tap—
Shattered his balance.
His attack collapsed completely.
And once again—
He crashed down in humiliation.
This was never an equal fight.
After the lightning tempering and reaching mid-level "Indestructible Body," Sanji's physical ability and perception had already surpassed human limits.
In his eyes—
Jabra's so-called Six Powers…
Were full of openings.
Like a toddler stumbling through combat.
"I can't lose… I'm Jabra of CP9!!"
Half-kneeling in rubble, Jabra roared.
Blood and sweat soaked his fur.
He knew—
Normal attacks wouldn't work.
He inhaled sharply.
His chest swelled—
Legs stomped violently.
Four wolf-shaped air constructs formed in the sky.
"Tempest Kick—Pack of Wolves!"
His ultimate move.
Four compressed slashes—
Shaped like wolves—
Crossed and lunged from all angles.
A perfect kill formation.
Sanji calmly lit another cigarette.
Looked up.
And lost the last trace of patience.
"Done playing."
"You gave me a nice gift—Geppo."
"So I'll return the favor."
His right leg—
Ignited.
Crimson flames intertwined with crackling lightning.
Heat distorted the air.
The world hissed.
Then—
He vanished.
A red lightning bolt tore through the wolf pack.
BOOM!!!
The kick landed square on Jabra's chest.
In that instant—
His body folded unnaturally.
Spine bulging outward.
Lightning and fire detonated inside him.
Blood sprayed—
And instantly vaporized.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Jabra flew like a burning meteor—
Crashing through three buildings—
Before embedding into a distant stone wall.
The wall collapsed.
Silence fell.
Sanji hovered briefly—
Then landed lightly.
Smoke trailing from his leg.
"For learning that move…"
"Worth it."
He turned his head—
Toward the other battlefield.
"…Yeah."
"No help needed."
—
In the plaza—
A completely different kind of chaos unfolded.
Usopp
Was no longer a sniper.
He was—
A berserker.
His massive alloy slingshot spun like a flail—
Crashing down again and again on Fukuro.
"Ch… chapapa… s-stop…"
Fukuro's body—
Was like a broken ball.
Each hit displaced his organs.
What broke him mentally wasn't the damage—
It was the truth.
Nothing worked.
Every Six Powers strike—
Punches, kicks—
All useless.
Usopp didn't even flinch.
In fact—
He looked… comfortable.
When Fukuro punched his chest—
Usopp even leaned into it.
"Did you skip lunch?"
"Your hits are getting weaker."
"I'm not even warmed up yet!"
ROAR!
He spun—
And smashed sideways.
BOOM!
Fukuro flew, vomiting blood.
Rolled across the ground.
Fear filled his eyes.
"Not done yet!"
Usopp surged forward.
His arms bulged like coiled steel cables.
The slingshot blurred—
Screaming through the air.
"Iron Body!!"
Fukuro curled up desperately.
Max defense.
But—
Iron Body has limits.
CRACK—
It broke.
The slingshot glowed faint red from friction.
Fukuro spat blood again.
"Die!!"
Usopp leapt—
And brought it down.
FULL FORCE.
BOOM!!!
A direct hit to the skull.
Fukuro's body slammed into the ground—
Creating a massive crater.
Stone turned to dust.
Silence.
He lay there—
Eyes rolled back.
Defeated.
Usopp stared at his trembling hands.
Then smiled.
"So what if I'm a sniper?"
"I can brawl too."
"Ronan… my Thirteen Iron Body…"
"…is finally complete."
—
Elsewhere—
The waterfall roared louder.
Under the towering pillars—
Tony Tony Chopper stood in Human Form.
Nearly three meters tall.
A body overflowing with power.
As a Zoan user—
His base physique was already monstrous.
With the Beast-version Thirteen Iron Body—
It was pushed to the extreme.
Strength—
Explosive.
Defense—
Unbreakable.
Across from him—
Kumadori attacked wildly.
But every strike—
Landed like a feather.
No damage.
None.
Compared to Fukuro's hits on Usopp—
These were even weaker.
Because Chopper's natural physique—
Far surpassed Usopp's.
Enhanced further—
His defense became absurd.
He dominated the fight.
Yet—
Couldn't finish it.
Because Kumadori—
Was fast.
Too fast.
Chopper's weakness remained—
Speed.
So the battle stalled.
Power vs agility.
Control vs chaos.
But one thing was certain—
The outcome…
Was only a matter of time.
