  "Buzz!!"

  Before jao's Buto and Arthur's Lightning Fsh Fist could collide, the air between them seemed to buckle under immense pressure, humming ominously.

  Waves of energy rippled outwards in all dires. The nearby Happo Navy sailors felt a surge of blood pressure, their faces turniheir ears ringing.

  The moment, they fainted.

  Those with astonishing endurance abaheir fallen rades areated further away.

  BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

  Ah-shattering explosion.

  The air betweewo was forcibly detonated by the Buto and the Lightning Fsh Fist. The sailors who hadn't retreated in time had their eardrums burst from the sound.

  Arthur, due to his position, didn't gain any advantage.

  He was sent flying back dozens of yards by the Buto, his legs plowing deep furrows in the earth like iron bdes.

  "Impressive!"

  Arthur's expression was slightly grim.

  He shook his numb fist, his form flickering with electricity as he instantly elementalized into lightning, telep closer, h in the air.

  <"Lightning Spear!!">

  Blue currents formed into a spear, pierg straight towards the sky—the sharp point tearing through the air.

  "Don't think you're invincible just because you have a Logia Devil Fruit, kid! I've seen too many with abilities like yours in the New World!"

  Fag the Lightning Spear—jao roared.

  His massive body, without dodging or evading, began to spin rapidly in pce.

  Arthur could sehat jao's spinning had drawn in all the surrounding air currents, f a protective yer. The pressed air currents formed a razor-sharp whirlwind.

  <"Hasshoken – Buto Kaiten (Martial Head Spin)">

  jao spun like a top, with his single supp foot as the axis—whipping up a powerful gale.

  The solidified Lightning Spear struck the whirlwind, and the two forces, incredibly, celed each other out.

  <"One Hundred Million Volts – Thunder Dragon!">

  "ROARRRRRRRR!!"

  Electric light erupted from Arthur's body.

  From his chest emerged a ferocious dragon's head—followed by the body, cws, and tail, taking shape in the air.

  The coiled Thunder Dragon seemed to have e to life. Its eyes locked onto jao, and it charged downwards with an unstoppable momentum.

  "Zzzzzzt!"

  The sound of fshing lightning and thunder was deafening, the light intense, engulfing the etlefield. The watg Happo Navy and the awakened Don Cai were forced to close their eyes to avoid being blinded by the light.

  "Isn't that enough?" Arthur's Observation Haki kept a close wat jao, surrounded by the Thunder Dragon, sensing that he hadn't lost his fighting ability.

  <"One Hundred Million Volts – Kirin!">

  A lifelike Kirin emerged from the lightning, pawing the air, flig its lightning tail, and arrogantly charging towards jao!

  With these two moves as cover, Arthur, h in mid-air, quickly began preparations for a third move.

  <"Eleagism – Iron Sand!">

  He opened his hands—trolling the lightning to draw iron sand from the ground.

  Tiny particles of iron sand gradually gathered in his palm—growing rger and rger, until it became a solid iron ball about the size of a baby's head.

  Arthur flew higher, establishing a magic track—aiming at jao, and then using magism as propulsion.

  <"Super Eleagic Railgun!!!">

  "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!"

  The deafening roar of the iron ball, propelled to its limit by magic force, was deafening. The ball was almost instantly heated red-hot by the fri, slowly vaporizing.

  With the one hundred million volt Thunder Dragon and Thunder Kirin as cover—the Super Eleagic Railgun could be unched uedly.

  This was also the reason why Arthur rarely used this move in front of others.

  Because with preparation—Observation Haki could loto Arthur's movements, allowing for easy predi and evasion.

  The unched red-hot iron ball had reached the limit of speed achievable under normal atmospheric pressure. It could be said that besides light, electricity, and space-based abilities, its speed was unmatched in the world!

  "I haven't avenged myself against that damn Garp yet!" jao's face was like a demon's. His graying whiskers stood on end.

  This Super Eleagic Railgun reminded him of Garp's fist, which had fttened his pointed head six years ago.

  Both were equally invincible and domineering.

  The Super Eleagic Railgun—if Arthur hadn't held back, could likely pierce through most pirates with bounties under one or two hundred million.

  jao felt immense urgency, his pupils trag violently.

  He seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by Garp back then.

  ——

  Various thoughts fshed through his mind. jao suddenly roared in anger, his massive body dispying incredible flexibility.

  "Whoosh!!"

  He retreated explosively, leaping into the air to a height of hundreds of yards.

  At this moment—his speed surpassed his inal physical limit. In an instant, he and Arthur formed a standoff, one high, one low.

  "Zzzzzzt!"

  Although he had dodged the Super Eleagic Railguhunder Dragon and Thunder Kirin were unavoidable—striking him and burning the dark green cape with the Happo Navy inscription to ashes.

  The protective airflow formed by the Hasshoken's secret move struggled to block the rampant lightning on his body.

  jao let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time—his eyes looked at Arthur with inparable rage.

  "Even uhese circumstances, he dodged? As expected of a pirate who roamed the New World. He shouldn't be uimated!" Arthur wasn't disappointed. Instead, his eyes lit up.

  jao anting.

  His bald head was instantly covered in bck Armament Haki. The bulging veins on his stout, bare body highlighted his scars. jao, defying gravity in mid-air, spun his body again.

  <"Armament – Hardening!!">

  <"Hasshoke Move – Drill-less Dragon; Drill-less Nail!!!">

  With a deep roar—jao poured all his strength into the single point of his forehead, carrying the momentum of a bursting dam as he charged towards Arthur, who was gradually desding.

  This Hasshoke move could crush a target with a single blow. If it hit Arthur, and if Arthur didn't defend, his entire body might be pletely shattered.

  "Whoosh!!"

  A strong wind pressed down from the sky!

  "Hahahaha! This move is—exhirating." Arthur ughed heartily. His right arm was pletely enveloped iromagic force.

  <"Eleagism!!">

  He amplified the attra to its maximum, causing all the metal in the viity of the battlefield to stir.

  The ons in the hands of the Happo Navy were no longer uheir trol. They were all drawn to Arthur's right arm.

  A massive, bck arm made entirely of steel took shape!
