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

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Niu suddenly vanished from his sight.

"???"

Before Deringer's exposed fangs could close, Ah Niu's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

At the same time, huge muscles suddenly bulged in one of his thin fists.

Manatee Boxing Style - Momo - 10x Manatee Punch 25!

Whoosh!

With the power of the Momo-Momo Fruit amplifying the force and speed of the punch tenfold, it landed squarely on Deringer's face.

A dull, muffled sound of fists colliding with flesh echoed in the arena.

Ah Niu's fist slammed deeply into Deringer's face.

Whoosh! ! !

The next second, Deringer's small figure flew backward at a speed even faster than Ah Niu's.

Moreover, as he retreated, the dent in his face, caused by Ah Niu's blow, slowly spread outwards.

The first thing to be exposed was the two rows of sharp fangs.

However, those fangs were no longer as sharp as before; instead, they were covered with dense cracks.

Some were even severed at the root, with plenty of blood still flowing from them.

Deringer rolled his eyes, his empty mouth gaping open and tilting back.

The bloodstains all over his face showed that he had been knocked out by this one blow.

Deringer, a hybrid of a fighting fish and a human, ultimately fell to Ah Niu, a sea beast kung fu manatee whom he looked down upon.

Thus, this battle between the fish-man and the manatee, both strictly speaking marine species, came to an end.

And not far from where Deringer fell.

The muscular man with long, curly blond hair, wearing a black-eared red hat, a red ribbed bodysuit that exposed his chest, a pirate crew smiley face tattoo on his right arm, and chest hair—Machbais, the overweight man—shaked the dust off his clothes.

After glancing around, he set his sights on Robin beside him and immediately launched his massive body into the air once more.

He is a user of the Ton-Pound Fruit, a superior version of the Kilogram Fruit, which allows him to float his enormous body in the air and restore or increase his weight at any time.

It can also change its own weight to attack; the highest weight it can reach is currently known to be "ten thousand" tons.

However, this ability also has a certain drawback, namely, the momentum generated when increasing one's own weight can actually cause injury.

But compared to the pressure of those tens of thousands of tons of water, this side effect is nothing at all!

"Hellish Ten Thousand Tons Byzantium!!"

Once high in the air, Mahabez's eyes, hidden behind his small sunglasses, revealed a murderous intent.

This is the highest level of skill he can currently unleash!

"Take this! Ouch!!"

With that signature catchphrase, his massive figure plummeted downwards like a meteorite, creating ripples of air.

This display of force is truly quite frightening.

However~~~

At the same time that his descent was so rapid and intimidating~

A beam of bluish-gray light suddenly shot out from a corner below.

"Shock Ray!!"

With a low shout, before Mahabez could adjust his body angle, the bluish-gray light accurately struck his obese body.

"嘤~~~"

Finally, with a soft groan, his head lolled to the side, his limbs went limp, and he completely lost consciousness.

Furthermore, as he lost consciousness, his Devil Fruit powers were released from control, and his body plummeted erratically from the sky to the ground.

Boom! !

The sound of its head hitting the ground and making intimate contact with the rocky surface was so dull.

A pool of blood also flowed from Mahabez's head and mouth.

"It has such a large body that it could be a sniper target..."

Usopp blew on the non-existent gunpowder smoke from the tip of his Shock Gun, then twirled the butt of the gun in a cool manner.

"Yet it still chooses to fly into the air; isn't that a classic sitting duck?"

He was very charismatic, showing off his heroic achievements as a sniper.

"Thanks, Usopp."

Robin smiled at Usopp.

"Haha, it was nothing."

Usopp appeared humble, but in reality, he was quite pleased, grinning as he held the gun in his hand.

"But even without my intervention, that guy shouldn't be able to hurt you, right?"

He glanced at Robin's arms crossed over her chest and her hands outstretched, then looked directly in front of her at the Donquixote Family figure, whom she was pinning to the ground.

All that could be seen was directly in front of the two of them.

"A Riot of Colors, A Giant Tree, A Clapping Palm!!"

Countless hands sprouted from the ground and formed a giant palm, pinning one of the Don Quixote family's officers firmly to the ground.

"Check it out!!!"

Beneath the palm, as if suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha, Gladius, with a hairstyle like a Super Saiyan and wearing a mask with round lenses, was unable to move!

His eyes, marked with suture scars, revealed extreme anger and resentment.

The long, dark blue trench coat rubbed against the ground, but it had no way to break free.

The metal decorations, such as gears, on the clothes creaked and rattled, but they were of no use either.

Being controlled by others and powerless to break free, Gladius felt both furious and deeply frustrated.

After coming down from the stone pillar, he faced Robin, but they barely exchanged a few words.

Robin immediately activated her power, using her large hands to firmly pin him to the ground.

"Is this the difference between us and them before?!"

Although he was pinned to the ground, he was still able to clearly perceive the surrounding situation using his Observation Haki.

Jorah, Dellinger, and Mahabais were all killed in such a short period of time.

And~

The Straw Hat Pirates barely contributed anything, let alone got injured.

Their attacks seemed to be casual, and Dellinger and Jorah were defeated by a single move from their opponents.

And they were caught off guard and fell victim to the attack.

In terms of martial arts, domineering aura, and physical fitness, he was far inferior to his opponent.

Even if we are not their opponents...

Gladius's eyes began to fill with bloodshot veins. "We can't let ourselves be underestimated like this!!"

His body beneath his clothes began to swell suddenly.

"Even if we get knocked down, we should at least take a few people with us, and at the very least, we should seriously injure you all!!"

The fiercely independent Gladius, realizing the disparity in strength and the impossibility of turning the tide, immediately unleashed the self-destruction power of his Burst-Burst Fruit!

"Exploding Steel Helmet!!"

The helmet he was wearing began to swell up there.

If it explodes after expanding to its maximum value~

The fragments produced by the explosion of the helmet are accelerated by the powerful shock wave, turning them into powerful, high-speed blades that can injure people.

This is a self-destructive, suicidal move, and Gladius wanted to inflict maximum damage on Robin and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The idea is good and commendable, but...

Robin had a firm grasp on even his own body movements, so how could she possibly let him continue to expand and explode?

"Thirty-round Flower - Throat Lock..."

With a soft rustling of petals fluttering about, several arms suddenly appeared on Gladius's expanding upper body.

In the next moment, his head and neck were firmly bound, both in front and behind.

Then~~

"Claw!!"

Robin gently clenched her two delicate hands.

Snap!

A clear, sharp sound of bones being dislocated rang out.

"Another one taken care of!"

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Gladius, who lay sprawled on the ground, his head and neck contorted with an eerie curve, seemingly deflated like a punctured balloon, his fate unknown.

She couldn't help but smooth her long, straight black hair and chuckled softly.

Another loyal subordinate who had followed Doflamingo for a long time was easily defeated.

"Robin, Usopp, you're both amazing!!"

Chopper, who had already transformed into his jujitsu form, Kung Fu Tanuki... Kung Fu Reindeer, looked at them with envy and admiration.

"So, you need to work harder too, Chopper~"

Robin said with a smile.

"I want to, but..."

Chopper's ears drooped immediately, and his expression showed a hint of hesitation.

He turned around and looked at his opponent.

"Earth-Pounding Fist - Lower Back Pain Stance!!"

The bald old man, Rao G, who was already seventy years old, with bulging veins on his head and wearing a special combat suit, was also the oldest among the cadres. He bent forward and made a strange gesture with his hands in the shape of the letter G.

His body was still trembling, especially his waist, and every now and then a "crack" sound could be heard.

Chopper: "..."

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to '?白头＆偕老~' for the generous donation of 588 points! Thank you!!!]

441 Wasted Devil Fruit power, turned into a monster! You guys are really underestimating people!

"I simply can't bring myself to lay a hand on an old man!!"

Chopper, quite exasperated, waved his chubby hooves and yelled in frustration:

"He's already quite old, and the injury and pain in his lower back look very serious."

"You're already riddled with illnesses, why aren't you getting treatment and seeing a doctor?! Why are you still fighting?!"

Chopper gave Rao G a good dressing down.

"This is the spirit of G!!"

Rao G. continued to pose while gritting his teeth and speaking.

"This is a fist technique where the older you get, the more pain you feel, and the more pain you feel, the heavier your strikes become. It's the secret technique, the Earth-Stopping Fist of Qi Gong! G!!"

After saying that, he bent his body at another angle, assuming a completely different posture.

"The Pain of the Undying Warrior: The Style of Lower Back Pain!!"
