The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

At this moment, Akainu included both the execution platform and Luffy in his attack range.

Even if it means destroying the execution platform and attacking Fleet Admiral Sengoku along with it, he is determined to thwart Straw Hat Luffy's rescue operation!!

Bury him, along with his brother Fire Fist Ace, in this sea of ​​fire!!

His decision was bold and decisive, showing a willingness to give up everything.

Those lava volcanic bombs, carrying a devastating force, hurtled towards Luffy, Sabo, and the execution platform.

Luffy, however, seemed completely oblivious, and continued charging towards the execution platform without a care in the world.

They made no attempt to defend themselves or avoid the apocalyptic scene behind them.

Because he knew that someone would help him solve all of this.

He turned his back to the person he trusted most and who was most reliable!

"We can't let you disturb our captain like this!!!"

A soft laugh rang out, followed by streaks of blue and white birds, radiating dazzling lightning, flying like a shower of flowers to meet the crashing volcanic lava!

"Chidori!!"

It's also a powerful, area-of-effect attack that covers the sky.

In mid-air, the incendiary bomb collided violently with the lightning bird.

boom! !

A violent explosion followed immediately.

Those powerful lava volcanic bombs came to an abrupt halt, easily stopped.

"【Props Master】..."

Akainu's murderous gaze was fixed on Link in one corner of the arena, his fierce aura flashing continuously.

He desperately wanted to rush over and kill that guy, but clearly, he no longer had the strength or the right timing.

"Ace!!!"

Luffy, who had entrusted his back to Link without reservation, used his jet-powered legs to propel his body, quickly bringing him to the front of the execution platform.

"I'm here to save you!!!"

His shouts shook the heavens, and after roaring, he charged straight toward Ace without regard for anything else.

"This is really a huge problem for Garp..."

Standing there, Sengoku gently rubbed the tips of his nose and the area between his eyes with his index finger and thumb, then slowly raised his head.

Behind the glasses, his gaze was icy cold.

He could understand his old friend's decision, after all, on one hand were his two relatives, and on the other hand was the name of justice he carried.

However, on this battlefield, the pressure of this name of justice is making it hard for him to breathe.

Sengoku could sense Garp's inner turmoil and pain, even though he himself had left behind such a troublesome situation.

"However, that's all for now!!"

Buzz~! !

A golden light, imbued with a profound sense of tranquility and Buddhist essence, suddenly emanated from his body!

This bright golden light seemed to contain boundless wisdom and profound meaning, like the Buddha's light that shines upon all people, warm and peaceful.

However, during this time of Buddha's light, the Warring States period's body also swelled up.

Soon, a huge golden Buddha statue (cfbg) stood on the execution platform!

"What is that?!"

When this bright light suddenly appeared in the sky above the battlefield, everyone who was fighting stopped what they were doing at that moment.

"Oh~ you've used your power, Sengoku!!"

Doflamingo, who was manipulating the 13th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Atmos the Buffalo, with his parasitic strings, couldn't help but look up.

Gazing at the figure bathed in Buddha's light, he couldn't help but smile wickedly:

"Truly worthy of the title 'Buddha,' this is the first time I've seen you like this, hee hee hee hee!!!"

"Dang!!"

While Doflamingo was laughing, on another battlefield where no one approached, the swordsmen were engaged in combat.

"That's it for today."

Hawkeye deftly twirled the Black Blade Night before inserting it into his back.

His clothes were perfectly neat, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"This time, I really enjoyed myself."

"Is it just about having fun...?"

In front of Hawkeye, Zoro's breathing was slightly erratic, and he was panting heavily.

"It's not over yet!!!"

Zoro lifted Shusui in his hand, his fighting spirit undiminished.

Hawkeye shook his head. "That's enough."

"That's it for now."

"Um?!!"

“I know you are eager to surpass me, and you have made such rapid progress in such a short time, which really surprises me. You are indeed qualified to continue to explore new worlds.”

As he spoke, Hawkeye slowly turned around.

"However, the gap between you and me cannot be bridged in just a short period of time."

"Your swordsmanship needs more opponents, more intense training, and more rigorous refinement; otherwise, you will never surpass me!"

After leaving those words behind, Hawkeye slowly walked away into the distance.

"More and stronger opponents, huh..."

Zoro remained alone, looking at the two famous swords in his hands, and unconsciously gripped them tightly.

Those enemies are in the place they are about to head to, a new world teeming with monsters!

"I need to become stronger!!!"

Zoro's resolve was unwavering.

Although this battle ended without a clear winner because Hawkeye sheathed his sword, Zoro remained remarkably clear-headed.

He knew clearly that although he and Hawkeye were already able to exchange blows and fight, there was still a considerable gap between them.

Just as Hawkeye said, he had only been cultivating for a very short time.

I believe that if I give myself some time to grow, put in the effort, and face more competition, then surpassing Hawkeye is only a matter of time!

Zoro believed this with such confidence in his heart, and his ambition and beliefs were also told in this way.

He is no longer so far from being the world's strongest, and the day when his promise to Kuina will be fulfilled is not far off.

Thinking of this, Zoro's lips curled up slightly.

Then, with a casual slash, he cut down the Marine who was trying to ambush him from behind. He then looked up at Sengoku and Luffy on the execution platform.

"What is that? A giant Buddha statue???"

Sanji, who had just kicked Vice Admiral Maynard away, looked up and asked a question in confusion.

Then~

"Devil's Kick - Finishing Touch SHOOT!!!"

Sanji suddenly leaped into the air, flipping and spinning, as intense crimson flames erupted from the soles of his feet!

boom! !

The most powerful move in the [Devil's Kick] series struck the blades of Lieutenant General Gumir, who was holding his twin swords across his chest in defense.

However, with such immense force and the explosive power of the crimson flames, the two famous swords posed no obstacle to Sanji. Instead, they allowed him to strike Vice Admiral Gumir's chest with the blades themselves!

Poof~! !

His frail body, vomiting blood, was kicked away.

"Now it's finally peaceful."

Sanji also tiptoed, finally having a moment to light another cigarette, while gazing at the golden Buddha statue in the distance.

"That should be the Mythical Zoan type of the Human-Human Fruit, the Buddha form, right? It really did eat a powerful fruit... Wait a minute?!"

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to the generous '摸她狗头' (Mo Ta Gou Tou) dog-headed crow for the incredible donation of 10,000 points!! You're awesome!!]

Chapter 378: A battle between Mythical Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit users!! Usopp pulls off a stunning comeback!!

Sanji, who was lighting a cigarette, suddenly stopped.

"The Great Buddha... the Human-Human Fruit, and Luffy~~~"

He seemed to have thought of something, and looked in that direction with a strange gaze.

"Hahahaha, I told you, don't underestimate your Usopp!"

With two guns twirling in his hands, Usopp stared at the ground covered in a hundred times the amount of slime, so sticky that the figures inside were almost impossible to see.

He stood there smiling contentedly, saying, "A vice admiral is nothing special after all. It seems the navy is... wait, wait, wait, what's that?!"

Before he could finish his boast, Usopp felt a bright golden light flash in the corner of his eye and instinctively looked over.

Suddenly, his eyes bulged out, and his nose and tongue started dancing in the air again!

Not only him, but Chopper and Franky also showed the same expression.

"What is that? A golden Buddha? How could something like that appear on this battlefield?!"

Nami clutched her cheek and exclaimed in surprise.

"That must be Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the strategist of the Navy Headquarters..."

Robin, who was standing nearby, was also seeing this scene for the first time and couldn't help but exclaim, "His nickname is 'Buddha' Sengoku,' which must be due to his Devil Fruit ability, right?"

"They still have Devil Fruit abilities like that?!"

"Yes, I remember that among the Human-Human Fruits, there is a Mythical Zoan type, which is the Buddha form."

Robin thought for a moment, "It is said that it can give the consumer the power, wisdom and spirit of the Buddha, combining a huge body like the Buddha with a clever mind and perfect skills, making oneself the ultimate person who combines mind, body and skills."

"Huh?! That strong?!"

Nami immediately shrank back; just from the description, this ability sounded incredibly powerful.

"No wonder he's a man who can become a Marine Admiral; he possesses the abilities of a Mythical Zoan, and even the Human-Human Fruit... Wait a minute?!"

Nami suddenly froze, "The Human-Human Fruit?!"

She looked up in surprise, and Robin, who was beside her, knew why she was surprised and spoke for her:

"Yes, Link also mentioned before that Luffy's Devil Fruit isn't the Gum-Gum Fruit, but rather the Mythical Zoan type of the Human-Human Fruit."

Robin pursed his lips and said softly, "I remember it was called..."

"Nika Form!!"

Is this a clash between the Great Buddha and Nika, two beings with Mythical Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit abilities?!

Not only Robin and Nami, but all the other Straw Hat Pirates members who knew the true name and ability of Luffy's Devil Fruit also had this thought in their minds after they came to their senses.

Two mythical beast species, and they even belong to the same genus, both being animals with the special ability of the Human-Human Fruit...

They clashed, and there was simply no battle more spectacular than that!

"As expected of the Navy, it's full of hidden talents and all sorts of people..."

Usopp, recovering from his shock, smacked his lips.

He gazed at the scene on the execution platform, thought for a moment, and then slowly retreated towards the outer edge of the battlefield.
