One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 123 Complete Overwhelming Victory, Shocking Weiwei

Swish!
A moment later, the black-haired boy appeared above the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex.

His right leg was raised high, enveloped in a dense aura of Armament Haki, and the black leg blade gleamed with a cold light under the blazing desert sun.

"Storm Kick - Ripple Slash!"

With a low shout, Xia Nuo's right leg slashed down like a battle axe!
hum!
A massive, crescent-shaped slashing wave roared out, its surface wreathed in spiraling ripples of energy that tore through the air and unleashed a terrifying, ear-piercing shriek.

Huazha's pupils shrank suddenly.

Damn you!
You call this "storm kick"?!
How come it's completely different from anything I've seen before?
A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he hurriedly covered his head with Armament Haki to strengthen his defense and block.

however.

Even though he had no intention of underestimating it, the power of this strike still far exceeded his expectations.

With a loud bang, the shockwave from the Tempest Kick collided with the Armament Haki surface, held for a brief moment, and then shattered and disappeared.

But the powerful ripples of energy penetrated the scales and entered the body, causing the entire head of this giant Tyrannosaurus Rex to ache!
"Roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex let out a painful roar, its massive body staggering backward, carving deep furrows in the sand.

"It works well."

Seeing this, Xia Nuo nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.

As his martial arts skills improved, he was able to create and combine techniques at will.

He previously combined Armament Haki's internal destruction with Ripple Fist to create his strongest Six Style technique, "Yamabuki Ripple Dash".

Now, through continuous improvement and refinement, he has further expanded the application scope of the Ripple Fist technique.

No longer confined to "fist techniques", but also applied to "finger pistol" and "storm kick"!
"Try this again!"

With a soft voice, Xia Nuo's figure followed closely like a ghost, her hands crossed in front of her chest, her fingertips rippling slightly.

"Flying Finger Gun - Ripple Barrage!"

Boo hoo hoo-!
Dozens of finger-gun-like energy rippled down like a torrential rain amidst the Tyrannosaurus Rex's furious roar!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"The captain seems to be constantly testing the new techniques he's learned these past few days."

"Did you really treat that guy like a punching bag?"

"In short, we have firmly gained the upper hand, so there is no need to worry."

On the ice, the crew members quickly refocused their attention after observing for a short while.

They all looked up at the giant pirate ship blocking their way.

Beneath the scarlet canvas painted with the Joker card, a large number of pirates had already poured out of the ship's cabins, almost filling the entire deck.

Several tall cadres stood at the bow of the ship, drew their weapons, and looked down as if facing a formidable enemy.

King against king, against general.

This has always been the rule on the high seas.

The leader of the Hanafuda has transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and is engaged in a fierce battle. His subordinates naturally understand that their own battle is also approaching and inevitable.

only……

Can we win?
Gudong~
A tall, imposing cadre swallowed hard, and cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of several people nearby.

Compared to the Hanafuda boss, who always doesn't care about bounties placed on outsiders.

They knew very well just how powerful the officers of the Fallen Pirates were.

Aside from that little girl with orange hair, whose combat strength is negligible...

The rest were all infamous and powerful individuals with high bounties, with most of them having bounties exceeding 100 million Berries!
One hundred million Berries!

What is this concept?
If placed in the first half of the Grand Line, these officers, even if taken out individually, would be enough to dominate a region and would be called "supernovas"!

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? You guys are already showing your fear before the fight even starts?"

Jack suddenly stepped forward, complaining, "The Hanafuda boss really misjudged you cowards by appointing you as officers. He might as well give up his position to me!"

"Shut up, you brat!"

An official, enraged, roared:
"You idiot, you were just a dockworker carrying goods last month!"

"You only got lucky and ate a good fruit, which is why the Flower Card Master picked you to start cultivating. How dare you talk big here!"

"Exactly, it's all talk. If you're really that brave, why don't you go and charge in first yourself!"

"Should I go first?"

Jack scoffed, "What's a little thing like this... I'll go first! But don't be envious when the Flower Card Boss takes care of that kid and praises me afterwards!"

……

On the ice.

"These guys don't seem very confident; they've started arguing among themselves."

Kuina pointed her thumb, and the gleaming blade illuminated her calm face. "Just a bunch of rabble. Let's attack."

"We can't be too careless either."

Smoker, cigar in mouth and squinting, said, "Several officers have bounties of over fifty million Berries... and the first mate's bounty is over ninety million... Hmm?"

He frowned.

But at that very moment, a tall, burly man whom they had never seen before suddenly rushed out from the bow of the opposite ship.

As he leaped off the deck, he pounded his chest and let out a tremendous roar.

Roar!
In the next instant, the burly man's body rapidly deformed before everyone's astonished eyes.

Its head twisted and elongated, and two curved giant tusks pierced through the corners of its lips. In an instant, it transformed into a mammoth as big as a small mountain and landed heavily on the ice!
then……

It sank.

Yes, it sank.

After transforming, it becomes a mammoth, and its weight is truly terrifying.

Furthermore, since he jumped from a great height, the ice layer created by Nojiko was simply unable to withstand such an impact.

So as soon as it landed, it broke through the ice and sank to the bottom with a gurgling sound amidst the towering waves.

In the blink of an eye, even the shadow was gone.

The ice surface was deathly silent.

"...?"

Everyone stared blankly at the "powerful enemy" that had suddenly appeared and then disappeared, speechless for a moment.

"Ancient Zoan, a Mammoth Fruit user?" Even Robin looked slightly bewildered. "He was supposed to be a tough opponent, but..."

"But it turns out he was a complete idiot."

Smoker exhaled a smoke ring and shook his head expressionlessly. "Never mind that guy, let's go!"

The moment the words fell.

His lower body had already turned into smoke, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed towards the deck of the giant pirate ship!
The wind whistled past his ears, and he couldn't help but grin.

It feels so good to be able to take action against scoundrels who harm the innocent whenever you want!
If it were when he was still in the navy...

Even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who have the legal right to plunder, are burning, killing, and looting right in front of him, he can do nothing. If he can't help but intervene, he will be scolded and punished by his damn superiors.

What now?
He no longer needs to care about those damn superiors or the damn Seven Warlords Agreement. Being able to beat these scumbags up before there are mass casualties among the people is better than anything else!
Freedom, oh, what a wonderful thing!
Swish!
Amidst the swirling smoke, Smoker had already rushed to the deck, his arms suddenly extending and transforming into two thick chains of smoke, instantly binding more than a dozen pirates who had no time to react.

"White Serpent - Strangulation!"

The smoke chains tightened suddenly, and the cracking sounds of bones breaking echoed one after another. The dozen or so pirates instantly screamed and fell to the ground.

"Stop, you bastard!"

"How dare he charge in alone! How arrogant! Surround him!"

The surrounding pirates were both shocked and enraged, and they all drew their swords to slash, but they passed right through the smoke.

"Damn it, why can't I hit him!"

"Idiot, this guy is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!"

……

"I can't let you steal all the limelight, you chain smoker!"

Noki chuckled and leaped high into the air using Moonwalk.

She slammed her fists together in front of her chest, and an astonishing chill instantly condensed. Then, centered on her fists, the chill rapidly spread outwards, spreading wildly throughout the entire pirate ship.

"snowstorm!"

call--!
A biting wind swept through, fixing the entire pirate ship in place, and a solid, thick snow wall rose up around the ship's sides.

This move effectively turned the deck into an isolated island in an instant, blocking all escape routes for the pirates.

Suddenly, Nojiko's figure materialized in the swirling blizzard. She unleashed both fists, which were wreathed in layers of snow, and slammed them down heavily on the pirates on the deck below!
"Snow Fist - Ice Cone!"

boom!
A tremendous explosion instantly resounded throughout the entire mouth of the Santoro River.

"Another Logia-type!" The pirates cried out in despair from the deck.

"Wait for me, I'm coming too!"

Nami couldn't wait any longer. She suddenly transformed into a firebird and soared into the sky, as if afraid that no one would miss the fact that the raging flames were bursting from her body.

……

On the ice.

Kuina shrugged as she listened to the agonizing screams coming from inside the ice wall, and sheathed the Wado Ichimonji she had drawn.

"It seems we don't need to take action," she said softly.

"Haha, it's rare to see two little girls have so much fun," Zeff grinned. "Let them do whatever they want."

"Logia-type abilities are so convenient."

Robin's voice came from the side, "Not to mention its wide-ranging destructive power, just the ability to transform its body into an elemental form is enough to give those without Haki a real headache."

Kuina and Zeff both nodded.

The Hanafuda pirate crew, despite its large number of members, seems quite formidable.

However, their actual combat strength was much lower than expected.

It seems that even the officers were recruited in the first half of the Grand Line. Apart from the vice-captain who was fighting with Smoker, no one even knows how to use Armament Haki.

It poses no threat to Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

They had originally planned to send all six of them, and even call on Ah Yin who was staying on the ship, but now it seems that the three Logia-type Devil Fruit users on the ship are more than enough.

The remaining three of them could simply watch the show.

……

In the vast desert.

A group of fast-running ducks is speeding along the riverbank towards the river mouth.

"Karu, please, hurry up, please hurry up!"

Vivi clung tightly to the neck of the running duck she was riding, her long blue hair flying in the hot wind. Her tender face was covered in dust, but she couldn't hide the anxiety in her eyes.

"quack!"

Karu couldn't help but cry out; it had clearly given it its all.

"your Highness."

Captain Icarum, riding another running duck, caught up. Although his expression was equally grave, he still offered words of comfort:
"There's only a little bit of travel left. We'll be there after we turn that corner. All they've done is try to force the royal family to meet with him sooner. We'll be able to start negotiations soon, so please don't worry too much."

"..."

Weiwei bit her lower lip and didn't reply.

Uncle Ikaram was still trying to coax her like a child, but she knew very well that the Shichibukai Hanafuda was definitely not a kind-hearted person.

He destroyed one ship every ten minutes until the royal family met his demands...

Recalling the harsh words the other person had uttered before hanging up, her heart clenched, and she closed her eyes to pray.

Everyone, please be alright!

The running ducks ran as fast as they could, kicking up long clouds of dust in the desert.

I don’t know how long I ran.

Suddenly, Icarum's voice rang in his ears: "Your Highness, we're just around the corner, and we'll soon be able to see the river mouth!"

Have we arrived yet?
Weiwei suddenly opened her eyes and looked up into the distance.

Then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget—

……

Boom!
On the sandy riverbank, two disproportionate figures collided with each other amidst the focus of countless eyes, producing a dull thud!

"Haha, that's awesome!"

Xia Nuo laughed wildly as he flew backward from the swirling sandstorm, his feet carving out furrows dozens of meters long in the sand.

The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex on the other side was also blasted backward, almost falling to the ground.

The two had been locked in combat for over an hour.

For more than an hour, the purely physical collisions almost never stopped.

Xia Nuo also took this opportunity to try out all sorts of physical techniques that he hadn't used much in actual combat.

Many techniques are ineffective against the Tyrannosaurus Rex's powerful body, but some techniques that utilize Armament Haki to disrupt internal defenses have successfully broken through its defenses.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Hanafuda's outer scales still looked relatively intact, but its insides were already covered in wounds!
Xia Nuo also suffered quite a few injuries, but thanks to the powerful regeneration ability of the Regeneration Technique, he had already been almost completely healed.

What a great punching bag!

Xia Nuo was increasingly satisfied with the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him. If he had nothing else to do but spar, he could fight it for two days and two nights!
Unfortunately……

This is, after all, the mouth of the Santa Maria River, and on the other side of the river lies the oasis city of Eluma. Now, most of the city's residents have been drawn out by the earth-shattering bombardment from this side and are all gathered on the opposite bank to watch!
You can't disturb the peace for too long...

"Hey, big guy."

Xia Nuo grinned: "Starting to struggle, are you? Your physical defenses don't seem as strong as they were at the beginning. Now, it's time to end this!"

"Stop bragging, kid!"

The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex roared angrily, "This is nothing! You think you can defeat me?!"

That being said.

But after fighting for so long, Hanafuda had to admit that the kid's strength was far beyond his expectations.

The fact that his physical strength is still on par with mine without him having eaten a Devil Fruit is terrifying enough!

He's an Ancient Zoan Tyrannosaurus Rex Devil Fruit user. In terms of physical strength alone, even among the Beast Pirates he used to be a part of, only two or three people could overpower him.

However, he was overwhelmed by his opponent's mere human body...

Does he have some special bloodline? This physique is almost catching up with that guy Jin!

"is it?"

Xia Nuo laughed loudly, "If I don't use my trump card, you really think I can't do anything to you!"

hum!
The moment the words fell.

His body suddenly swelled rapidly, reaching a height of four meters in the blink of an eye, his muscles bulging and twisting like gnarled tree roots.

Swish!
Despite its size, its speed was still terrifying, like a black lightning bolt sweeping across the sand, and when it reappeared, it was already standing at the base of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's thick tail.

"Ok?"

Hanafuda felt a chill run down her spine, and before she could react, she felt a terrifying force coming from behind her—

"rise!"

Xia Nuo's arm muscles suddenly swelled up, bursting out like steel nooses, and his ten fingers firmly gripped the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail covered with jet-black scales.

With a loud shout, the colossal object, weighing tens of tons, was forcefully swung off the ground!

"Varied……"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's lantern-like pupils suddenly contracted, and before it could react, the desert landscape in its field of vision suddenly spun around it.

Its more than 20-meter-long body drew an exaggerated arc in mid-air, accompanied by a whistling wind, and crashed into the sand dune on the other side!
boom! ! !
The entire desert trembled, and yellow sand surged into the sky like giant waves, instantly leveling sand dunes within a radius of 100 meters.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's head was deeply embedded in the sand, and its thick neck was unnaturally twisted.

"cough……"

Hanafuda turned her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with malice, "Has the power increased...? But, if it's only this much, is it still..."

"It's not over yet!"

His second half of the sentence was interrupted. Xia Nuo had already closed in again, grabbed its tail with both hands, and exerted force once more!
boom!
boom! !

boom! ! !
This time, he didn't throw the flower card away, but instead held its huge body firmly in his hand, like a giant meteor hammer, gripping its tail tightly and swinging it back and forth!
The earthquakes grew more and more violent, not only in the desert but also in the distant rivers, where countless thick columns of water surged.

In the distance, on merchant ships that had long since retreated to the outer edge of the riverbank, the sailors clung tightly to the masts to keep themselves from being thrown off.

Their faces were filled with terror as they looked at the ancient creature that could only be seen in legends, which was now being trampled on like a rag doll in front of the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Damn you brat!"

The blood spilled from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's mouth stained the sand dark red. Hanafuda finally regained his senses from the dizziness, and his eyes flashed with ferocity.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a blinding red light gathered between its sharp, white teeth—

"Dragon's Breath - Scorching Ray!"
