“Beep——Beep——”
“What!?”
“What kind of monster is that?”
“Enemy attack! All personnel enter level one alert status!”
The piercing alarm echoed continuously over the sea.
On ship after ship, numerous naval personnel armed with guns and ammunition stood at the ready.
But looking at those numerous, incredibly swift, giant wind blades slicing towards them, they could not help but turn pale with fright.
“Damn that brat…!”
He stomped his foot.
His entire body swelled in size.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, he transformed into a five to six meter tall humanoid beast.
Covered in dense silver fur, his face resembling a gorilla’s, Steel Bone Kong’s appearance was somewhat ferocious and frightening.
Using his Moonwalk, he stepped on the atmosphere, shooting up into the air: “Want to give me a taste of your power?”
“岚脚·岚乱!” (Arashi Ashi · Arashi Ran!)
Instantly.
His entire body flickered with wisps of electricity.
His thick legs turned into afterimages.
He kicked out continuously.
“Swoosh… Swoosh…”
In a blink of an eye.
Numerous pale green, giant slashes broke through the air one after another.
And they continuously clashed with the barrage of wind blades attacking him.
“Boom boom…”
Giant booms reverberated ceaselessly.
An incredible hurricane.
It raged uncontrollably in the area.
But all of the wind blades that Ail had unleashed were blocked.
“Brat, are you a little too arrogant?”
Steel Bone Kong, whose presence was imposing.
His tall figure landed on the deck of the battleship, his presence intimidating.
The deck of this large battleship creaked and groaned in pain.
This Admiral candidate’s eyes narrowed, locking onto the feathered serpent god high in the distance, revealing a cold and murderous intent: “Think that by hiding far away, I won’t be able to do anything about you?”
Before his words could finish.
He opened his mouth wide.
Revealing his ferocious fangs, he roared, “Thunder Roar Cannon—!”
“Zizizizizi…”
A shocking flash of lightning illuminated the area.
A beam of intense lightning, carrying with it unmatched power.
It shot straight out.
“Heat Breath!”
But at the same time.
The giant feathered serpent god, not to be outdone.
Also in the high air, he opened his maw.
“Swish…” A blazing ball of fire gathered.
The unbelievably high temperature directly distorted the atmosphere.
It met the rushing torrent of lightning.
And pierced through it.
“Boom boom…”
The lightning and fire collided.
The blinding light and radiance were exceptionally brilliant.
Making it difficult to look directly at them.
“Woohoohoo…”
“Whoosh…”
Exaggerated waves rippled and undulated.
They raged uncontrollably, making it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
One battleship after another swayed precariously in the giant waves.
“That monster is actually that strong…”
“Is he really a child less than ten years old?”
“Gulp! The air general’s attack was actually blocked!”
Numerous naval personnel were stunned beyond belief, unable to believe what they were seeing.
As Steel Bone Kong’s subordinates, they were perfectly aware of how powerful this rising star of the navy, who had surpassed countless veteran admirals in recent years, truly was.
In the past, when encountering those pirates.
They only needed to unleash a Thunder Roar Cannon from afar.
And they could easily blast the pirate ship to smithereens.
But unexpectedly, this Lunarian survivor had actually blocked it so easily.
“Hiss—!”
“Ail’s attack was blocked!”
“That Steel Bone Kong, is he a Devil Fruit user too?”
In the distance, while being pushed by the Sea King, the 魔王·路西法号 (魔王·Lucifer) charged towards the distance at an incredible speed.
Witnessing the brief, short-range exchange between Ail and Steel Bone Kong, Lingling, Geltz, Hailing, and Longbread were all somewhat stunned, their scalps tingling.
“That’s right, it’s rumored that Steel Bone Kong is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Kongouzaru (Human-Human Fruit, Model: Golden Kong)!”
Longbread, who was currently nervously observing the battle through his monocular, revealed the information he knew: “It’s said that not only is he incredibly strong, but he also has a Kongouzaru’s unbreakable body, incredible defense… It seems like the rumors outside are true, that guy is actually a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan!”
“Kongouzaru?”
“Eh? Mythical Zoan?”
“Just like Ail and Lingling?”
The three of them were stunned, somewhat bewildered.
Didn’t they say that Mythical Zoans were rarer than Logia-types?
Why was it that they had encountered another Zoan-type Mythical Zoan immediately after leaving Elbaph?
Up until now, they hadn’t seen a single Logia-type user yet!
“Fire, wind, thunder… A truly comprehensive set of abilities!”
On the battleship in the distance.
Steel Bone Kong’s face was solemn.
His gaze was fixed on the enormous, awe-inspiring creature in the high air before him, an unstoppable presence.
Although his Zoan-type Kongouzaru (Golden Kong) could transform into a giant ape the size of the giants, with a Kongouzaru’s unbreakable body, his element mastery was only in thunder.
“Woohoohoo…”
“Rumbling…”
The entire sea area.
Unbeknownst to everyone, it had already become incredibly dark.
The sky above was covered in dark, oppressive clouds, thunder and lightning flashing.
Moreover, a heavy downpour began.
“A Zoan-type Mythical Zoan too?” The giant feathered serpent god, with a spread of his wings, soared upwards.
He charged into the pitch-black cloud layer: “Looks like you can manipulate lightning… Then how about you block this?”
“Thunderous Heaven!!!”
A mighty roar echoed.
In the endless, pitch-black clouds, there were flashes of shocking lightning.
“Crack—Crack—“ Numerous terrifying bolts of lightning struck down from the clouds.
With the speed of lightning, without even a moment’s hesitation.
They all bombarded the fleet below.
Making Steel Bone Kong and the countless naval personnel turn pale with fright.
“You Lunarian brat, you dare!!!”
Steel Bone Kong was incredibly shocked and furious.
His humanoid form was filled with intense electrical energy.
His presence was imposing, as he stepped on the atmosphere, suddenly charging up into the air.
“Zizizizizi…”
From all directions.
Lightning bolt after lightning bolt.
They were drawn to him, whose presence was impossibly intimidating.
They struck him directly, engulfing his entire body.
But Steel Bone Kong’s entire body was intertwined with brilliant electrical energy.
He had clearly developed his Devil Fruit power to an incredibly shocking level.
Relying on the incredible defensive ability of his Kongouzaru’s unbreakable body, as well as his ability to manipulate thunder, he reduced the power of the lightning to the greatest degree possible.
Those bolts of lightning that continuously struck him.
They were completely painless for him.
“Boom… Boom…”
However—
The range of the entire fleet formation was incredibly vast.
Even though he could manipulate the element of thunder to a certain extent, attracting the lightning around him like a lightning rod.
He was still unable to draw all the lightning in the entire sea area towards him.
He could only watch helplessly as countless bolts of lightning bombarded the battleships one after another.
“Ahhhhh…”
Numerous naval personnel screamed in agony.
Even if they weren’t hit directly.
They were still electrocuted, one after another, turning black and falling to the ground.
The shocking electrical current, carried by the wet rain, continued to flow throughout the area, becoming a nightmare for these naval personnel.
Some battleships had their masts directly struck, while others were struck directly in their ammunition stores, resulting in violent explosions that ignited raging fires.
Moreover, more lightning continued to fall ceaselessly.
It was completely a disaster.
