One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 236 The Strength of the Soul

"Thunder?"

Lightning flashed on Nelu's body, and terrifying thunder was released from his body. Under his power, a huge thundercloud appeared in the sky, covering Big Mom and the thundercloud "Zeus" under her feet.

"You said you wanted to fight us, but you didn't even get the intelligence."

The lightning released by Big Mom's thundercloud was easily controlled by Neyle, and the lightning that was originally intended to cover and strike all the members of the Lodo Pirates and the security company quickly dissipated.

"Well, well, well, I still have some abilities!"

Her ability was cracked, but there was no embarrassment on Big Mom's face. Instead, she grabbed the "sun" Prometheus floating behind her and threw it directly into the sky.

"So what about this, Fire from the Sky!!"

Following a loud explosion, terrifying flames poured down like a stream of water, as if to burn everything within sight.

Everyone's attention suddenly turned to the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, Fire Fist Ace.

The other party is the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, a natural ability user who can manipulate fire.

"Why are you looking at me? This is not a battle for our Whitebeard Pirates."

Ace shook his head, and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates turned around and continued to look at the battlefield.

Even they had only seen battles of this level among the Four Emperors a few times.

"Don't use this kind of trick to embarrass yourself!"

Rhodes took a step forward, raised the naginata in his hand high, and then swung it out. A strong impact erupted instantly, completely defeating the flames released by Big Mom, and sparks of fire splashed everywhere.

"You were the one who proposed this, total war!"

After defeating the flames, Rhodes continued his offensive. He kicked off and suddenly rushed out with a strong impact of domineering color. The naginata in his hand was covered with red and black lightning, and it chopped down heavily with terrifying power.

"Total war, we must act like a total war! It's too shameful to be so vague and not dare to fight with all our strength!"

The terrifying force erupted again, accompanied by powerful domineering aura that dissipated in all directions.

Whitebeard and his sons retreated a distance and returned to their Moby Dick. The other members of the pirate group also returned to the ship.

The battle of the Whitebeard Pirates is over, and now the battlefield has been handed over to the Big Mom Pirates.

However, when Whitebeard saw Tyrant Rod wielding his [Kuromogei] and fighting fiercely with Big Mom, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

blah-

There was a flash of lightning, and the next moment, Nalu appeared on Big Mom's pirate ship, with terrifying lightning flashing in his palm.

"Haha, we can't let you do whatever you want on our ship!"

Big Mom's eldest son, Perospero, the candy minister of the Charlotte family, held a candy cane in his hand. The moment Neru boarded the ship, he released his ability. A large amount of syrup emerged from every corner of the pirate ship. As thunder and lightning roared, a hard candy wall blocked them.

Boom! !
Lightning flashed, and in just a moment, the candy wall created by Perospero was melted into syrup.

"Candy can't stand high temperatures."

"It just so happens that my electric current can generate high temperatures!"

A large amount of electricity surged through Neylu's body, and the light that burst out illuminated the pirates on Big Mom's pirate ship, highlighting their pale faces.

The three generals did not follow this operation. Brother Katakuri, who had been stripped of his title of general because he angered their mother, also did not follow. Big brother Perospero was the strongest one who followed.

However, judging from this situation, it seems that Brother Perospero is unable to stop the other party!

the other side.

Kaido looked at Rod and Big Mom fighting each other, his eyes flickering, and he was still thinking about Big Mom's previous proposal.

Law looked at Kaido with a little vigilance, and he keenly noticed the fluctuations in Kaido's mind.

Although it is unknown what Big Mom said to the other party that made Kaido, the King of Beasts, who had previously maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Rod Pirates, tend to turn against them, but if the other party wants to get involved in Rod's battle, even if it is the Four Emperors, he is not impossible to give it a try!
Behind Law, Bonis' body was covered with scars, which were caused by the injuries he received in the battle with Vista. Even though he had mastered the secret of [Iron Cutting] and reached the realm of swordsman, Bonis was still far from being as good as the world-famous swordsman Vista with [Flower Sword].

But, at least this time, until the battle was temporarily stopped, they were not completely defeated by the enemy!

Weber was almost exhausted and even a little dehydrated. As a user of natural abilities, there was a huge gap in strength between him and Ace.

There is a gap between the [Snow Snow Fruit] itself and the [Flame-Flame Fruit], not to mention that Ace also received special training under Garp for a period of time, and experienced many wars after entering the New World. He has already mastered the use of two-color domineering.

It was considered a good performance that Weber was able to hold out until Whitebeard announced the end of the fight.

Liluka and Minina had previously fought with many Whitebeard Pirates' leaders in order to defend Squard and Whitebeard. Minina was fine and seemed to have recovered, but Law could clearly feel that Liluka's breath had become a little unstable.

As for Kosa and Robin, their roles in the team have always been more towards logistical support, and they probably can't provide much help.

The battle between him and Diamond Joz just now also consumed a lot of physical energy.

Luo silently calculated his own strength in his mind, and considered the possibility that they would be able to stop Kaido, the King of Beasts, if he also attacked them.

boom! !

The naginata in Rhodes's hand collided violently with Big Mom's weapon again.

"Baquan kid, are you also Whitebeard's son?"

The aunt grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and used all her strength to push back the naginata that Rhodes was swinging at her.

"Looking at the way you fight, except that you don't have the [Tremor-Tremor Fruit], you're exactly the same as Whitebeard. Even the way you swing your sword is the same!"

"Hahahaha, if I could, I could fight in exactly the same way as you!"

Rhodes twisted his feet, flew into the air, and kicked the back of the naginata hard, causing the blade to press towards Big Mom.

After forcing Big Mom back, Rhodes spun Whitebeard's Kusukome-Kiri in a circle, then stuck the handle down into the ground with the sharp blade facing the sky, and then put the Elephant Blade back to his waist.

The warm-up battle is almost over here!
After Mansherry's treatment and the powerful recovery ability brought by the [Elephant-Elephant Fruit], the injuries Rhodes suffered in the previous battle have been completely recovered. Except for the physical strength that was not replenished, his body is even stronger than before!
After several battles with Big Mom, Rhodes has completely absorbed Whitebeard's technique of "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement".

He is now stronger than when he first landed on this island!
What we need to do next is to kill the Four Emperors Big Mom here, under the watchful eyes of the pirate emperors, naval heroes and admirals!

Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling the strength contained in his arms, forced a smile on his face, and looked at the aunt with a grim look.

Punching hard is his favorite way of fighting!

"Ba Quan!!"

"Elbaf's Spear·Powerful Country!"

Rhodes clenched his fists and gathered all his strength. As he swung his fists, it suddenly burst out, forming an enormous shock wave, which blasted towards the old lady who was flying in the air on the thundercloud.

The aunt clenched her Napoleon sword with both hands, and released the terrifying power through the weapon in her hand, also forming an extremely huge cylindrical shock wave. The two of them also learned the fighting skills from the giants and collided in the air with terrifying momentum. A strong air wave erupted at the moment of the impact and collision between the two. Under the fierce collision, even the space seemed to be torn apart.

After a blow, Rhodes stomped his feet hard without waiting for the result of the collision. Under the powerful reaction force, his body rose from the ground and appeared in front of the aunt almost in an instant, and swung his fist again.

The armed color flowed, the domineering color entangled, and the power of the whole body was condensed into a stream under the powerful control. With the same fist, the power of Rod's punch was stronger than when he fought Kaido!

"Mom, be careful!"

"on the left!"

The thunderclouds under Big Mom's feet and the long sword in her hand warned at the same time, and the flame attached to the long sword burned violently on its own, spewing out terrifying flames, trying to stop Rhodes' attack.

"it's useless!"

Under the strong wind wave, Rhodes' scarlet hair was blown violently, but his emerald green pupils were unusually bright, and his sharp eyes seemed to pierce the flames in front of him.

Bang-!
As soon as he swung his fist, a white wave of air spread out from his fist. The powerful pressure dispersed the flames spewed out by Big Mom's "Prometheus". As soon as Big Mom raised her arm, Rhodes' fist hit her arm heavily.

Bang! ! !
There was an even louder roar than before, and Big Mom's body was blown away by Rhodes like a cannonball. She fell heavily to the ground, and the hard ground shattered instantly.

He punched the old lady away, but there was no joy on Rhodes' face. Instead, he frowned slightly.

The feeling of punching doesn't feel right.

Although the opponent was knocked flying, it didn't seem to cause much damage.

"Iron Balloon..."

Rhodes muttered silently.

As the strongest woman in the pirate world known so far, the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin possesses innate powerful talents. Not only does she have natural supernatural powers, even far superior to the giants, she also has a powerful talent called [Steel Balloon].

Her body structure is different from that of ordinary people, and she is born with extremely strong defense, making her immune to most attacks.

"You bastard, you really pissed me off!"

From the underground pit came the aunt's angry and gloomy voice.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and the aunt stepped out of the pit and reappeared in front of Rhodes.

After enduring Rhode's punch, the aunt only looked a lot more embarrassed, but there were no visible scars on her body.

"Prometheus! Napoleon! Zeus!"

The aunt shouted softly, and the three Homies responded immediately.

Flames burned fiercely on the aunt's body, just like the flame in her heart. The flames wrapped around the end of the long sword in the aunt's hand. The thundercloud "Zeus" that was originally under her feet fell on the top of the long sword, and the power of thunder and lightning gathered on it.

This is an extremely powerful combination move that Big Mom has created by combining the power of her three Homies. It uses the power of flames as fuel and the power of lightning to enhance the penetration of the attack. Its name is -

"Sound Cannon!!"

A dazzling laser shock wave suddenly shot out the moment the aunt swung her knife.

"Ba Quan!!"

Facing Big Mom's combination of secret techniques, Rhodes simply clenched his fists again, and powerful strength gathered in his arms.

With a powerful force concentrated at one point, Rhodes' fist blocked the aunt's attack, then swung his arm to knock her away, and his body suddenly rushed forward.

Rhodes's domineering aura gathered in his fist, and with every punch, the powerful domineering aura was released towards Big Mom without reservation.

With the powerful talent of [Iron Balloon], even Rhodes' fist could not break through Big Mom's body defense.

However, being unable to penetrate the body's defenses doesn't mean that you can't cause harm to Big Mom.

The power of Armament Haki can cause internal destruction!

Click——!
As the battle progressed, Rhodes finally heard a crisp sound in his ears.

The old lady's arms were bent unnaturally.

Hearing the pleasant sound of breaking bones, Rhodes' eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on his lips became brighter.

In his eyes, the aunt in front of him was no longer the ugly aunt in the ridiculous floral dress.

It's a devil fruit!
"You bastard, you actually hurt me. I want to kill you right here!"

A cruel smile appeared on the aunt's face.

She herself couldn't remember how long it had been since she had suffered such an injury.

Big Mom stretched out her hand, and a ball of power appeared in her palm. That was the power of the [Soul-Soul Fruit] that she possessed.

"I gave you life, wake up, my bones!"

The aunt integrated the power in her hands into her arms. The broken bones gained new strength, responded and recovered instantly, and a powerful aura emanated from her body again.

"You little brat! How dare you hurt me? Are you ready?"

Strength gathered in Big Mom's body, and the power of the [Soul-Soul Fruit] was activated by her, causing her body to undergo inexplicable changes, and an unusual light flashed in her eyes.

"LIFE OR SLAVE!"

A deep whisper came out of Big Mom's mouth. That was the ability of her Soul-Soul Fruit. Anyone who was afraid of her would have their soul taken away instantly.

but!

As long as there is no fear in your heart, you will not be hurt by this ability.

Faced with Big Mom's ability, a huge greed suddenly rose in Rhodes' eyes.

soul!

He felt the power of the soul!

I also realized that the effect of my golden finger was reduced and the reason why my physical fitness improved slowly.

It's the soul! !

The strength of his soul limits the improvement of his physical strength!
And the devil fruit in front of him is definitely the devil fruit that is most likely to make his soul quickly stronger!

With domineering aura surging and strength bursting out, Rhodes' body suddenly rushed forward.

"I'm going to kill you!!"
