Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Rope clouds, swamp clouds, iron clouds, snow clouds...

Nami felt the newfound power within her, and her eyes grew brighter. She raised her right hand, her mind stirring slightly.

Above the palm, the air distorted slightly, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air!

Her eyes darted around, and she leaned close to Vivi's ear, whispering with a sly smile in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Try being on the clouds with Luffy sometime, maybe it'll feel really good."

Vivi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she playfully slapped Nami.

Is this how Devil Fruits are used?

"As long as it works, it's worth the trip to snatch it. Next, let's try it out in conjunction with my abilities?" Vivi asked.

"Of course!"

So, the two of them used their abilities.

Nami was surrounded by a large number of clouds of various colors.

The Cloud Fruit, combined with her understanding and perception of the climate and her various experiences on the Sky Island, is a perfect match.

Nami pushed the clouds forward, and Vivi waved her hand, causing the air currents and clouds to merge instantly.

The wind pushes the clouds, and the clouds take advantage of the wind's momentum!

It transforms into a dragon when it encounters favorable winds and clouds.

A small tornado, carrying charged thunderclouds, precisely swept into the densest group of pirates.

Moist rain clouds are cut into countless sharp water lines by high-speed airflow.

Thick stratus clouds were stretched and deformed by wind pressure, turning into a giant hand slamming down.

"Wind and Clouds, Chaotic Weather!"

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in one corner of the arena, with howling winds and water blades shooting everywhere!

The pirates caught in the crossfire cried out in despair and fled in disarray.

Nami and Vivi's first collaboration of their abilities demonstrated astonishing control and destructive power!

Anyone who didn't know better would think that all the Logia-type Devil Fruit users had come.

"Hey, we got the stuff, shouldn't we head out now?"

Zoro casually parried Chinjao's latest fierce headbutt with his scabbard.

He had no interest in the opponents before him; there were no powerful swordsmen among them.

After exchanging blows with the green pepper for a few rounds, this uncle's iron head technique proved to be nothing special.

The Cloud-Cloud Fruit has been eaten by Nami, and the strategic objective has been achieved.

Green Pepper roared in fury: "You brat! How dare you underestimate the secrets of my Eight-Strike Fist and Cone-Head Skill!"

"Ok?"

At that moment, red dots flashed in Zoro's eyes.

He sensed a powerful aura approaching through his Observation Haki, and just as he was about to take a step, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Zzzzz!

He instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji sword.

laugh!

A massive shockwave, like a crescent moon, tore through the air and flew towards us.

Absolutely enormous!

Wherever it passed, it plowed a smooth, deep trench into the ground.

Is it a slash?

No, Zoro is very familiar with this move.

"Is it a storm kick?"

Zoro drew his sword instantly!

It wasn't that all three swords were drawn at once; it was only the Sandai Kitetsu, which he was most comfortable with, that was drawn half an inch, bringing with it a dark and swift black light, precisely meeting the slash!

laugh!

The two slashes collided in mid-air, the silver-white wave of energy was cut in half by the black light, and the remaining power spilled out to both sides, neatly shearing off a section of several rows of stone stands nearby.

"This kind of storm kick?"

Zoro narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in the direction from which the slash came, and saw a burly figure gradually emerging in front of him.

"Roronoa, your swordsmanship has improved in the last two years. It's a pity that Kaku isn't here; he's eager to avenge his defeat."

The person who came was an old acquaintance.

The figure, draped in a white suit jacket, slowly transformed into a human-beast form, growing enormous with leopard fur covering its body. The lower half of its face remained human, and dark flames swirled around its shoulders.

"The pigeon man?"

Zoro narrowed his eyes slightly, fully drawing out the Sandai Kitetsu, and pointed it diagonally at the ground. "You came here to find our captain?"

He gripped the knife even tighter.

Two years have passed, and this guy has become the kind of person who's hard to deal with.

"That's right, Straw Hat Luffy is one of my most important goals over the past two years."

Lucci's lips curled into a cruel smile. "However, before that, let's complete the orders from our superiors. None of the Straw Hat crew will leave Dressrosa today."

"You? You are indeed much stronger than you were two years ago."

Zoro looked at the fiery cloud behind Lucci, which was somewhat similar to Luffy's state, and said, "But it's a hundred years too early to talk such big words."

"It is the awakened form of the Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Mode."

Vivi noticed the faint dark red flames floating behind Lucci, which was one of the signs of the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities.

Awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit users represent a comprehensive qualitative change in vitality, regenerative ability, and combat power.

Vivi: "This guy is not easy to deal with."

Lucci's gaze fixed on Vivi. "Nefertari Vivi, it seems you have completely abandoned your royal responsibilities and chosen to join forces with pirates."

He glanced at Weiwei and then made a pushing motion with his feet.

Next second,

The ground beneath their feet slightly dented, and their figure had vanished!

So fast!

Far exceeding the speed of two years ago!

"Then I'll deal with you first."

A cold voice rang out from behind Vivi, and Lucci's figure appeared like a ghost, his fingers covered in black Armament Haki pressed together like a knife, aimed straight at Vivi's back!

His fingertips were halfway through the swing when they were firmly blocked by a blade gleaming with cold light!

Clang!

Sparks flew!

Zoro had somehow appeared in front of Vivi, and the Sandai Kitetsu steadily blocked Lucci's hand chop.

"Don't get too cocky just because your Devil Fruit has awakened, you pigeon man."

Zoro grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and suddenly exerted force in his arm!

"Um?!"

Lucci felt an astonishing power emanating from the blade, his pupils contracted, and his body was pushed backward by this force.

He stomped his feet, causing the ground to crack, and barely managed to steady himself.

"Drink!"

Zoro, seizing the advantage, pressed forward relentlessly, his sword flashing like a waterfall!

Lucci reacted extremely quickly, covering his hands with Armament Haki, transforming them into sharp claws, and clashing wildly with Zoro's fast sword!

Clang! Clang!

The dense clanging of metal was like a torrential downpour striking sheet metal; the clash of Armament Haki was like the forging of iron.

The two figures blurred into a blurry afterimage in the center of the arena, with only the constantly erupting sparks and the scattering sword energy and claw winds indicating the intensity of the battle.

Ordinary pirates and spectators had already retreated far away in fear, lest they be drawn into this inhuman duel.

"Three-Sword Style: Demon Slash!"

Zoro suddenly changed his tactics, and before anyone knew it, he had three swords in his hands. Three intersecting black and green slashes formed a cross shape and strangled Lucci!

Lucci let out a low growl, his body instantly partially transforming into a beast, his arm muscles bulging and covered with leopard-print fur, allowing him to withstand the slash!

scoff!

The clash of Armament Haki left several bloody gashes on Lucci's arms, but he paid no heed. The powerful life force brought by his beast form allowed the wounds to stop bleeding and heal quickly.

He seized the opportunity to stomp his foot on the ground, and the powerful reaction force propelled him into the air!

"Storm Kick - Triumphant Bird!"

A massive bird-shaped vacuum slash descended from the sky, covering an extremely wide area!

Zoro neither dodged nor evaded, his three swords dancing in front of him, creating a curtain of light:

"Three-Sword Style: Alluring Demoness: Sleepless Night!"

Jingle bells!

The Tempest Kick slash was completely shredded by the dense blade light!

The two collided again, one above the other!

With one leg locked in combat with Zoro, Lucci sneered, "As long as I and the Marine Admiral are here, you will all die here."

"Ha, don't look down on me."
