Chapter 209: Smoker's Metamorphosis
Ten Thousand Meters High
Gales howled, and the sea of clouds churned like a raging torrent.
"BANG—!!!"
With a deafening roar, Roy's right fist smashed into the center of Shiki's chest like a meteor!
Shiki's pupils contracted violently. He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, blasted instantly into the depths of the violently churning cloud sea!
Air currents surged violently. The clouds exploded outward as if roared at by a giant beast. A blinding white spiral shockwave tore through the firmament, ripping apart the curtain of clouds, the disturbance refusing to settle for a long time.
Roy hovered quietly high above, his right arm slowly lowering, his fist still radiating scorching residual heat.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a hint of relief appearing in his eyes.
"Sanji... Usopp..."
"It seems you've all grown quite a bit."
The next instant—
"SWISH!!!"
A dazzling stream of golden light shot up from the depths of the clouds!
Shiki, bathed in golden light, his wild hair dancing and face contorted, looked up. His scarlet eyes were filled with rage and madness: "You brat! How dare you underestimate me in battle!!!"
Before his voice faded, he stomped the air violently. The famous swords "Oto" and "Kogarashi" carved out two intersecting cold sword lights, woven with sharp storm aura!
"Lion: THOUSAND CUT VALLEY!!!" (Shishi: Senjkiri)
With a violent shout, dozens of terrifying golden slashes erupted instantly from his leg blades!
"SWISH-SWISH-SWISH-SWISH—!!!"
Crisscrossing sword energy blotted out the sun, like the claws and teeth of countless mad lions. Each slash possessed the terrifying power to tear the earth and shatter islands, surging toward Roy with the force of a thunderbolt!
High in the sky, space itself groaned heart-stoppingly as it was torn by these slashes. The storm ripped through the sky, seemingly intent on destroying everything!
However, facing this world-ending offensive, Roy's face remained as calm as ever. He simply adjusted his stance slightly.
He pulled his right fist back gently, muscles tensing like a drawn bowstring, power accumulating.
"Fist Bone: CHAOTIC AFTERGLOW!!!"
"BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM—!!!"
In an instant, dozens of fist shadows shot out like a torrential storm. Each punch bombarded the golden sword energy with incomparable precision!
The sword energy was shattered into dazzling light dust by the fist wind. Sonic booms rolled like thunder, and continuous pillars of shockwaves exploded in the high sky. The airwaves swept in all directions, piercing the nine heavens like thunder, shaking heaven and earth!
"Shiki..."
Roy's eyes turned cold as frost. His figure flashed, appearing in front of Shiki in an instant!
"From start to finish..."
Killing intent surfaced abruptly in his eyes. "I've been very serious!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
Another punch blasted out悍然 (boldly/fiercely). Before the fist wind even arrived, the space trembled and cracked!
The fist smashed solidly into Shiki's abdomen, vibrating the air until it boomed incessantly!
Shiki screamed, his face turning pale instantly. He plummeted like a falling star again, crashing through the churning sea of clouds and falling into the boundless depths below!
Ground Battlefield
Dr. Indigo laughed wildly, waving his hands frantically. Patches of purple spores fell like misty rain!
"Chemical Juggling: SPORE DOMAIN!"
Thick poison mist quickly swallowed the battlefield. The ground corroded and turned black, and even the air became choking and suffocating!
Scarlet turned into an afterimage, raiding through the mist like a ghost, claws whistling in the wind, locking onto Smoker's back!
—But Smoker stood quietly in place, his gaze steady as a mountain.
"You defeated dogs of the old era..."
Smoker shouted low, waving his right hand diagonally—
"HIGH-PRESSURE SMOKE BLADE!"
"SWISH—!!!"
White smoke compressed to the limit tore through space instantly like a plasma beam. Its trajectory was pure and silent, yet it swept across the field with terrifying cutting pressure!
The purple poison mist was cut in half on the spot. Amidst the violent churning, Scarlet's attacking claws were severed at the root, blood spraying into the air!
"Wh... What?!!"
Indigo's pupils shrank, screaming in disbelief: "Your smoke! How can it cut my poison mist?!!"
Smoker sneered silently. The smoke around him suddenly sank, then expanded abruptly!
The next instant, his figure blurred, twisted, and vanished from sight!
"BOOM!!!"
A sonic boom rang out. He flashed behind Indigo as a high-speed white shadow, his right fist wrapped in Armament Haki, striking heavy like a cannonball!
"White Blow: HEAVY IMPACT!!!"
"BANG—!!!"
The force of the punch pierced through the body. Indigo's chest collapsed, spitting blood as he was blasted into the ground, the surface cracking into spiderweb-like fissures!
"ROAR—!!!"
Scarlet roared and charged, but Smoker raised his hand in a backhand motion—
"Smoke Blade: SPIRAL SLASH!"
A rotating high-pressure smoke blade swept across the air like a drill, slashing the giant ape Scarlet diagonally and sending him flying dozens of meters, smashing through several giant trees and rolling into the rock face!
The smoke filled the battlefield, but it no longer obscured the truth.
Dominance of the battle had fallen completely into Smoker's hands!
He clenched his fist gently, eyes sharp as an eagle. "Under Roy's advice, I gave up on brute force and started relearning everything."
"Haki, Taijutsu, Physics, Chemistry, Aerodynamics, Particle Manipulation..."
"The me of now is no longer that mad dog who only knew how to blow smoke randomly!!!"
In the distance, Sanji and Usopp, having just repelled a wave of pirates, looked up to see Smoker standing unmatched in the white mist. Their expressions were nearly petrified!
"He's actually this strong...?!!" Sanji's cigarette nearly fell from his mouth.
Usopp rubbed his eyes. "Are Marine officers... all this terrifying?!"
On the other side, Zoro's battle with the two Whitebeard commanders had reached a fever pitch!
"Fish-Man Karate: SHARK SKIN PALM THRUST!!!"
Namur roared and attacked, palm striking out, water pressure surging, shaking the air violently!
"I'll cut you—!!!"
Blenheim swung his longsword in a horizontal sweep, sword energy roaring like a wild tide, closing in on Zoro!
Three swords crossed!
Zoro stood motionless, eyes like a hawk, blade edge cold as a winter night.
"Two against one, and in such a hurry?"
"You Whitebeard remnants... are nothing special."
"Don't look down on people, brat!!!"
Blenheim and Namur exchanged a glance, tacit understanding exploding as they leaped into the air simultaneously!
"Combo Technique: TSUNAMI SLASH!!!"
The Fish-Man palm force kicked up a monstrous wave of water, and Blenheim borrowed the wave to boost his blade, sword energy skyrocketing!
Combining their strength, they unleashed a massive water-blade slash capable of splitting a warship, chopping toward Zoro with the force of a thunderbolt!
The corners of Zoro's mouth lifted in a battle-hungry arc. Feet pushing slightly off the ground, he crossed his three swords forward—
"Santoryu Ogi: AZURE DRAGON CHANT: FLOWING WATER!!!"
"ROAR—!!!"
A cyan dragon phantom roared out from the three swords. Sword energy like a dragon broke through the waves, swallowing the slash!
"BOOM—!!!"
The Azure Dragon sword intent collided with the water blade impact. Energy exploded, wild winds sweeping a hundred meters!
The next second—
The sound of a shattering blade was heard!
"CRACK—!!!"
Blenheim's longsword was snapped in two, the hilt flying from his hand!
A line of blood appeared suddenly on Namur's chest. Eyes filled with horror, he was blasted back dozens of meters!
"BANG—!!!"
Like birds with broken wings, the two smashed heavily into the rock face behind them, blood spraying wildly!
The dust settled.
Zoro slowly sheathed his swords, clothes flapping in the wind, snorting coldly in a low voice:
"Boring."
He looked around, gaze cold and sharp.
"Next."
