One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

"Is Colonel Loya alright?"

"Diamanti!"

The terrifying thunderclouds just now didn't seem like something a human could use; it was undoubtedly the power of nature!

A huge crater, hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared in the center of the town. Apart from the half-built ruins of a tavern in the center, everything else inside the crater was completely destroyed.

"senior!"

Lu Yun hid behind the bar, looking up at the sky with worry. When she saw Luo Ya falling, she immediately used her Moonwalk to ascend into the air and caught Luo Ya with both hands.

"Fuck!"

"Mmm~"

The girl bit her lip to prevent herself from making strange noises, her whole body feeling a tingling, electric sensation.

The senior is electrified!

"Phew, I'm fine!"

Loya breathed heavily, letting the girl with glasses carry him in her arms. His body was crackling with electricity, and he was paralyzed and unable to move.

Although he forcibly cleaved through the thunderclouds, he was not immune to the damage from the lightning, and even his lightning protection suit was annihilated into powder.

Fortunately, the lightning protection suit reduced the damage.

After a while, Loya felt that he could move his body again.

"Lu Yun, put me down."

"Oh!"

The girl reluctantly put Loya down.

Loya steadied himself against the bar, looked at the bespectacled girl with a flushed face, and frowned: "Your face is very red, are you hurt?"

"No no!"

Lu Yun quickly waved her hand, her face becoming even rosier.

Loya shook his head and walked towards Diamanti, who was not far away.

Diamanti knelt on the ground, his body charred and smoking, and foolishly holding a steel umbrella in his hand.

Iron conducts electricity!

However, putting down the umbrella would expose him to damage from the steel spikes, which might be even more terrifying for this guy.

"Crack!"

The umbrella split in two, revealing Diamanti's ugly face. He was still breathing, but had lost consciousness.

Loya pulled out the Rain Cutter that had fallen to the ground and frowned.

Killing Diamanti now would be easy, but he still needs the guy to lure Vergo; in this situation, a living person is more useful than a dead one.

After all, if the hostage dies, there's no point in rescuing him.

Moreover, he still needs to explain this incident to his superiors.

"Your weakness saved your life."

Loya put away the rain-cutting device.

In his view, Diamanti was just a useless person who relied on his abilities, and the effects of his abilities were also mediocre. If it were Pica, he would not dare to leave him alive.

"Lu Yun, handcuff him and take him away."

"clear."

The battle is not over yet.

Eastern battlefield.

"Earth-Slaying Fist - Eye Strike!"

"Earth-Punch Fist - Ice Formation!"

"Earth-Stomach Fist - The Pain of the Undying Warrior!"

"Ah, hit, hit, hit!!!"

Rao G relentlessly beat Smoker, his honed martial arts skills leaving Smoker utterly helpless.

"boom!"

Smoker was sent flying by a single punch, crashing into several houses and collapsing in the process.

"Whoosh! Damn, how is this old man so powerful!"

Smoker struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

His physical skills were completely overwhelmed!

If it weren't for the fact that his opponent was old and lacked sufficient strength, he would probably have been defeated long ago, but this was even more difficult for him to accept.

He didn't want to win the fight just because of his age!

"How tenacious!"

Rao G walked along the ruins, looked at Smoker who was still in good condition, and realized his own current shortcomings.

Young and energetic, he's the envy of everyone!

He could only watch helplessly as his aging body weakened day by day, eventually leading to death.

"A brat like you can't possibly defeat me, who has honed my skills to the peak. I'll show you my full power!"

"Aha!!!"

Rao G roared, his whole body radiating an astonishing aura. His originally aged body rapidly became stronger, and he actually returned to his strongest form from his youth.

"The Ultimate Secret of the Earth-Wood Fist!"

"Fight to protect your fists!"

Smoker's pupils trembled.

What's with this powerful stance?!

"Hahahaha!"

Rao G laughed heartily: "Having honed my skills to the peak and possessing my full strength, who can defeat me now!"

"hateful!"

Smoker's legs turned into smoke, propelling him towards Rao G, his fist, brimming with domineering power, slammed into Rao G's body!

"Useless, useless, no good at all!"

Rao G laughed and grabbed Smoker's wrist, throwing Smoker backward, and then punched him from a distance!

At the critical moment, Smoker's body transformed into a smoke form!

"boom!"

Visible airflow blasted through the smoke, shattering the wall behind it.

"Such power from just a punch!"

Smoker gasped. This guy's strength had increased several times over. If he were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"boom!"

The ground behind them exploded!

Smoker turned around stiffly, his pupils shrinking sharply as he looked at the peculiar hand gesture made by the burly man behind him.

"You are slow, your punches are weak, your aura is lacking, and your abilities are meager. You are not good in any aspect. How dare you challenge me!"

Rao G waved his hands, drawing the G symbol in front of him!

"Die, Navy!"

"Battle Fist Technique: G-Seal!"

A blazing G mark appeared on Smoker's chest!

The next second, a terrifying impact erupted!

"cough!"

Smoker's mouth was full of blood as his body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into more than a dozen houses like a cannonball!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The smoke and dust merged into one vast expanse!

"Hey, Smoker, wake up!"

Smoker lay in the ruins, covered in blood, his eyes rolled back, his bewildered consciousness seemingly sensing someone calling his name.

"Wake up!"

A sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and then I was thrown into the air.

Smoker woke up, woken up by the pain.
