Saturn, looking like a demon with dark purple flame clouds coiling around his shoulders, instantly turned cold and sinister when he saw Robin flying up.
"Nico Robin...! Today, I will sever your sinful bloodline right here!!"
*Swish!!*
With Saturn's furious roar, a powerful ring of Haki blasted outward with him at the center!
Black lightning crackled as the flame clouds burned fiercely, spreading across his body. His white beard grew rapidly and thick, and his half-human body completely transformed into his Gyuki form!
*Whoosh!! Whoosh!!*
A scarlet, vicious glint flashed in Saturn's eyes. He raised two spider legs and violently extended them forward in a piercing thrust, the black hooks at their ends howling through the air!
Robin's gaze narrowed. Flapping the wings on her back, her high-speed diving posture swiftly glided to the side!
After dodging the spider legs' attack, she glided into the air right above Saturn. Crossing her arms in front of her chest, flames spontaneously ignited on her arms as she activated her ability!
"Gigantesco Mano: Crimson Lotus Serpent Hell!!"
Following Robin's shout, burning brown arms rapidly sprouted from the empty ground!
Those arms intertwined and wove together, forming flaming serpents a meter thick. They writhed densely, as if turning the entire plaza into a crimson lotus hell!
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Under Robin's control, the countless flaming serpents around them lunged madly at Saturn. Opening their gaping maws, they used their claws as fangs to viciously bite into his spider legs and massive body!
The roaring fire clung to his skin and flesh, sizzling as it burned. Saturn gritted his teeth through the pain, glaring fiercely at Robin.
'To think she combined the Lunarian Lineage Factor with her Devil Fruit ability so perfectly.'
'If I had known those two vials of Lineage Factor modification serum would turn Robin into such a troublesome enemy, there's no way I would have ever agreed to that deal with Allen.'
"Gigantesco Mano!!"
Robin seized the opportunity to launch an offensive. Tens of thousands of flame-clad arms rapidly sprouted from the ground, climbing and weaving together to form two burning giant arms!
"Two Flame Trees: Stake of Fire!!"
*Boom!!*
With an angry shout, the two flaming giant hands swiftly grabbed at Saturn's neck, slamming together from the left and right. Like a torture stake, they firmly locked Saturn in place!
"Damn woman!!"
Saturn gritted his teeth, his face turning purple from suffocation. With a furious glare, an incredibly strong burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body!
*Boom!!*
The berserk Haki instantly sent shockwaves outward! It blew away all the flaming serpents biting into his body, causing them to shatter in mid-air and scatter as burning petals!
At the same time, Saturn raised two spider legs, infusing them with Conqueror's Haki, and rapidly extended them to pierce the two flaming giant hands gripping his throat!
*Squelch! Squelch!*
As the sharp hooks at the ends of the spider legs pierced into the arms, Robin's brow furrowed tightly, gritting her teeth to endure the intense pain.
The two giant hands did not dissipate. Instead, under her control, they forcefully squeezed Saturn and pressed him down toward the ground!
*Boom!!*
The earth shook violently! The two giant hands, acting like a flaming stake, howled as they toppled over, gripping Saturn's neck and viciously smashing his head into the ground!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
*Whoosh—Bang!!*
A giant iron ball whistled through the air, heavily sweeping across the fat head of the giant warthog!
"Go flying!!"
Gin, transformed into a giant, flashed a ruthless look and let out a deep, explosive shout. The muscles in his arms bulged as he exerted a burst of strength, smashing the warthog away!
*Boom!!!*
The giant warthog crashed violently into a hundred-meter-tall building! Smoke and dust billowed as the collapsing skyscraper rained down countless massive boulders, completely burying its enormous body in the ruins!
*Thud!! Thud!! Thud!!*
Gin charged forward in large strides to pursue, every step he took causing the ground to tremble.
Arriving before the ruins, he leaped high into the air. He raised his iron tonfa above his head, spinning it at high speed, before violently hurling the pitch-black iron ball downward with centrifugal force!
"Hundredfold Acceleration: Destructive Shot Put!!"
Gin roared as the long tonfa and spinning iron ball plummeted. Accelerated until it almost turned into a beam of light, it shot down in an instant!
*Whoosh—Boom!!!*
The entire island shook as if struck by a comet!
The hundred-ton war hammer, moving far beyond the speed of sound, smashed a massive crater into the ground! It unleashed a terrifying, destructive shockwave that effortlessly tore apart and shattered all buildings in its path!
Fierce winds sent everything flying into the sky. Kid raised a hand to shield his face, crouching slightly to plant his feet firmly on the ground, and grinned.
"How reckless. Is this guy trying to destroy the entire city?"
"What exaggerated power. With such terrifying strength, he's practically no different from an Ancient Weapon."
In the sky, the Five Elder who had transformed into the snake-tailed monstrous bird Itsumade wore a grave expression. Looking at the streets that had been turned into ruins for thousands of meters around, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
At this moment.
*Swish!*
A translucent, pale blue barrier expanded outward, swiftly enveloping him within it.
"Ball Lightning!!"
Nami shouted as she swung her Clima-Tact, hurling out nearly a hundred crackling lightning balls that spread out and shot toward the snake-tailed monstrous bird.
Every ball lightning contained terrifying electrical energy, but their speed wasn't particularly fast.
Saint Mars of the Five Elders revealed a look of disdain. He flapped his wings, preparing to gain altitude, but in the next second, a strong gale materialized out of thin air around him!
*Whoosh—!*
The monstrous bird's eyes widened in shock. The powerful hurricane instantly engulfed him, causing his body to spin uncontrollably.
"Crap!"
Saint Mars suddenly realized what was happening, but the ball lightning had already drifted close, densely surrounding the entire space.
As they drew nearer, the lightning balls were sucked straight into the hurricane one by one!
*Bzzzt!!*
"Screech—!!"
The monstrous bird threw its head back and let out a miserable shriek. In an instant, blinding electricity flashed across the sky!
Dozens, nearly a hundred lightning balls were swept into the hurricane, their berserk energy detonating one after another!
*Swish—!!*
The temperature within the Weather Domain plummeted. A blizzard poured down from the sky as four tornadoes formed out of thin air between heaven and earth, sweeping up the falling snow!
"Snow Tornado!!"
Nami shouted loudly, raising her Clima-Tact and pointing it straight at the Five Elder.
In the next instant, the snow tornadoes converged on the Five Elder from all directions!
The electrical light gradually dimmed. Saint Mars was left charred black from the shocks. He had barely taken two breaths before the four snow tornadoes ruthlessly closed in on him!
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
The hurricane, mixed with flying snow, was bone-chillingly cold. The fierce winds acted like bone-scraping scythes, as if trying to tear his body apart.
Pitch-black feathers flew into the air and were swept into the hurricane. Saint Mars gritted his teeth, folding his wings to wrap around his body and gather his strength.
Then, his gaze darkened. His Haki erupted as he violently flapped his wings, whipping up a fierce gale that blasted outward in tandem with a Conqueror's Haki shockwave!
*Boom!!*
The four hurricanes were instantly shattered, sending chaotic air currents sweeping outward!
"Despicable ants...!"
Saint Mars glared furiously. He threw his head back and opened his beak, igniting a blazing fire in his mouth and continuously compressing it!
Nami's gaze sharpened. She raised her Clima-Tact, which flashed intensely with berserk electrical light. Countless arcs of lightning coiled around the Clima-Tact, transforming it into a dazzling lightning spear!
"I'm counting on you, Little Qing! Pierce right through him!!"
"Spear of Indra!!"
Nami shouted at the top of her lungs, violently swinging her arm to hurl the Clima-Tact!
*Whoosh!!*
The compressed gas stored at the tail of the Clima-Tact erupted, suddenly accelerating it as it shot forward. Accompanied by an ear-piercing sonic boom, the lightning spear turned into a streak of blue light that instantly tore across the sky!
The monstrous bird roared, unleashing the violent flames from its mouth to meet the lightning spear head-on!
*Clang!!*
Accompanied by a deafening screech, the lightning spear cleaved the flames in two and pierced straight into Saint Mars's body!
*Squelch!!*
"Screech—!!"
The monstrous bird threw its head back and let out a bloodcurdling scream as the lightning spear, containing terrifyingly high temperatures, instantly blew a hole through his body!
Saint Mars's pupils dilated. His face twisted in extreme agony as his body plummeted from the sky!
"How is this possible...!"
"That strange weapon...!!"
Saint Mars lay sprawled on the ground, gritting his teeth as he stared in disbelief at the weapon Nami had thrown.
Even though it wasn't imbued with Haki, it still unleashed such exaggerated power. That weapon capable of discharging lightning was clearly abnormal!
Sure enough.
After piercing through his body, the lightning spear streaked across the sky and stabbed into the earth. Amidst a violent tremor, the Clima-Tact expanded and transformed, turning into a stuffed doll draped in a white cloak in the blink of an eye!
"Ooh—? He's actually still alive? This big bird has such vigorous vitality."
The Teru Teru Bozu floated into the sky with a joyful expression. While looking down at Saint Mars, who was struggling to climb up from the ground, it flew back toward Nami.
"Beautifully done, Little Qing."
Nami smiled proudly. She then turned her attention back to Saint Mars. Watching his pierced body continuously regenerate, her face gradually took on a more solemn expression.
"But these guys won't be that easy to deal with. They have the same immortal bodies as those people from before. Their weakness should be their hearts too."
"I see. It's actually a Devil Fruit weapon. It even appears to be a Mythical Zoan type. Is its ability related to the weather...?"
Saint Mars stared intently at the Teru Teru Bozu, recognizing its true nature at a glance and even guessing a portion of its abilities.
"It's truly ironic. This Clima-Tact was forged by Vegapunk during our trade with you back then. To think it would be used against you today."
Nami's lips curled into a cold smirk as she caught the Clima-Tact, which had reverted to its staff form, and gave it a twirl.
On the other side, within an industrial park dotted with hemispherical factories.
Forklifts, excavators, lathes...
Under the control of magnetism, countless massive metal objects floated densely in mid-air, occasionally accelerating downward to smash into the ground one or two at a time!
*Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!*
In the factory district, a ghastly white figure sprinted between the buildings, dodging the falling objects one after another. Its speed was so fast that even its shadow was hard to catch.
"Jahahahaha! Keep running! Let's see how long you can keep this up!"
Kid stood in the air, his feet planted on a crescent-shaped flying device. He grinned and laughed wildly, glaring fiercely at the skeletal horse below as he continuously controlled objects to crash down.
*Boom!! Boom!!*
Saint Nusjuro, transformed into a skeletal centaur, flickered continuously. His four skeletal horse legs moved at blinding speeds, galloping around the factory district and leaving the falling objects far behind.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Suddenly, several sharp steel bars as thick as arms shot down rapidly!
A cold glint flashed across Saint Nusjuro's glasses. His right hand rested on the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist, and he swiftly drew his blade!
*Clang!!*
His drawing motion was so fast that even Kid couldn't see it clearly!
With just a flash of cold light, the steel bars shooting down from above were instantly sliced into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground. The cuts were perfectly smooth, and a layer of frost had eerily condensed over them.
"Tch!"
Kid scoffed coldly. Having wasted quite a bit of time on his opponent, he was clearly growing impatient.
*Bang!!*
Suddenly, the ground collapsed into a deep sinkhole. From the hole, a massive sandworm with thick, rough skin burst forth!
The giant sandworm looked hideous. It opened its gaping maw filled with tough teeth and lunged fifty meters into the air, simultaneously unleashing a powerful suction force from its mouth!
*Whoosh—Whoosh—!!*
That powerful suction whipped up a fierce gale out of nowhere! Kid and the metal objects floating in the air were drawn uncontrollably toward the giant sandworm.
Saint Ju Peter flashed a ruthless look, snapping his massive jaws down viciously at the approaching Kid.
"Magnetism: Prison!!"
Kid extended his hand, spreading his five fingers. He unleashed a powerful magnetic force to pull in the surrounding metal, reshaping and reassembling it into a seamless metal cage that locked him inside!
*Clang!!*
The sandworm's massive teeth clamped down on the cage, sending sparks flying! The cage, which could withstand a direct artillery strike without a scratch, was directly bitten until it warped and twisted!
However, it was merely deformed. Held together by the internal magnetic pull, the entire metal cage remained indestructible!
"Idiot!"
Inside the cage, Kid mocked with a playful glint in his eyes. He pressed his palm against the cage, aiming it straight into the sandworm's mouth. Purple electrical sparks burst from his fingertips as he activated his ability once more!
"Magnetism: Sharp Cone Spear!!"
*Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!*
The steel bars of the metal cage vibrated violently before instantly shooting outward. Accompanied by ear-piercing sonic booms, they viciously impaled the inner lining of the sandworm's mouth!
"Roar—!!"
The intense pain caused the sandworm to howl in agony toward the sky. Its massive body thrashed and flailed wildly, repeatedly smashing into the surrounding skyscrapers!
*Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!*
Building after building cracked and crumbled from the impacts, sending countless boulders and debris cascading down.
Kid was flung out of the sandworm's mouth. He flipped a few times in the air to stabilize himself before landing firmly on the roof of a skyscraper.
"Magnetism...!!"
Just as Kid prepared to manipulate the metal floating in the sky, a white figure sprinted toward him from the distance behind him like a bolt of lightning!
"What a repulsive life aura..."
Saint Nusjuro's eyes were cold and sinister. His right hand rested on his hilt, and the cursed sword Kitetsu was instantly drawn!
Sensing this fatal warning of danger, Kid abruptly turned his head to look!
He saw a burst of cold light! An incomparably massive vertical slash came flying toward him!
*Clang!!*
The crisp ring of the blade sounded like a dragon's roar. The cold light flashed by, and in the next instant, the entire hundred-meter-tall building was cleaved in two!!
*Boom!!!*
The skyscraper split in half and toppled to both sides. Countless boulders collapsed and plummeted from the crumbling roof. Kid's figure was sent flying backward from the wreckage, blood spraying from his chest!
*Thud!!*
Kid flew straight for over a hundred meters until his back slammed heavily into another tall building. His body then plummeted uncontrollably toward the ground.
"That hurts... This bastard...!!"
Kid gritted his teeth, his hand tightly clutching his bleeding chest as he glared angrily at the skeletal horse in the distance.
On the ground, the giant sandworm rampaged, slithering toward his falling trajectory at an incredible speed!
Seeing this, Kid's lips twisted into a fierce grin. He reached out and pressed his hand against the wall of the building beside him, scraping it violently.
"Magnetism: Assign!!"
Activating his awakened technique, Kid used his ability to assign magnetism to the entire building!
When the sandworm arrived before him and opened its gaping maw, Kid's palm rapidly unleashed a repulsive magnetic force, instantly launching his own body away!
*Snap!!*
The giant sandworm bit down on empty air. Saint Ju Peter turned his head to look at Kid, opening his mouth to unleash a massive suction force in an attempt to pull him straight in.
"Hey, hey, shouldn't you pay attention to what's behind you, idiot?"
Kid smirked playfully. He reached out toward the giant sandworm, unleashing his magnetic force to pull on the magnetized building. Curling his fingers, he grabbed the empty air and viciously pressed downward!
"Fall!!"
*Rumble!!*
Amidst an earth-shattering tremor, a massive shadow loomed over!
Saint Ju Peter's face registered shock. He abruptly looked up, only to see a sky-blotting behemoth howling as it toppled down!
*Boom!!!*
The skyscraper smashed down mercilessly! It instantly crushed the giant sandworm into the earth, unleashing a powerful shockwave that kicked up a sky full of billowing smoke and dust!
"Heh."
Kid's lips curled into a wild, disdainful sneer as he laughed coldly:
"Is this all the Five Elders amount to? What a bunch of trash. I think you should just change your name to the Five Stupid Pigs."
