Chapter 484: Heavenly Origin Lotus
Chapter 484: Heavenly Origin Lotus
A while ago, on Charlotte DaFu's cake ship, a collision with Bellamy's vessel led to a battle between their crews. Bellamy himself was engaged in a fierce fight with DaFu.
"Demon Man Slash!"
After consuming the Steam Fruit, Charlotte DaFu, who could summon the Smoke Demon Man through the friction of his belt, unleashed a powerful slash that cleaved the bulwark ahead.
Boom!
To the side of the bulwark, Bellamy's legs transformed into springs, propelling him away from the attack. He dodged the strike and, in the air, created smoke rings with his Moon Step before launching a surprise assault.
"Savage Punch!"
The spring-like compression in his arm unleashed a powerful punch aimed at DaFu, who had summoned the Demon Man.
Clang!
Just then, the Smoke Demon Man disappeared and reappeared from DaFu's belt, parrying Bellamy's fist with a slash before striking out again.
Bellamy calmly extended his other fist to block the attack. The compressed spring on his arm collided with the blade, holding it off for a moment before suddenly giving way. The Demon Man vanished, and Bellamy was sent flying backward, landing on the deck and skidding for a distance. He looked up at DaFu with a menacing grin, resembling a hunting hound ready to pounce.
His arms were covered in slash marks.
DaFu, on the other hand, didn't seem to have suffered much damage, but his chest heaved erratically, and his breathing was rapid.
The fight had been going on for a while, and neither could gain the upper hand.
Bellamy's physical prowess was formidable, and with the spring-like compression of his arms, his punches packed a heavy punch. For DaFu, who wasn't as skilled in physical combat, this posed a significant threat.
However, DaFu was also proficient in Tyrant Energy, especially in Perception Color. The Demon Man was the source of his confidence, backed by a bounty of 300 million berries.
Unlike Owen, who kept a low profile and served only his mother, DaFu had a more prominent presence outside. He had gained a fair amount of exposure, earning a justifiable reputation within the Navy.
The 300 million berry bounty was, to some extent, a testament to his strength. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was also considered a 'monster' of a pirate.
Bellamy, with a bounty of over 200 million berries, was also one of those who had received a 'just' bounty.
The difference of several tens of millions wasn't a significant gap for them, and for a while, neither could claim victory.
Of course, there was no way to determine a winner.
Just as the two were about to continue their attacks, half a cake ship suddenly plummeted from the sky, crashing into their battlefield and splitting DaFu's cake ship in two.
Bellamy, who had narrowly avoided the attack, quickly used his Moon Step to leap into the air, gazing at the distant scene in astonishment.
In the far-off waters, numerous cake ships were overturned and sent flying by a swift figure, crashing into a distant vessel. However, they were sliced in half by the slashes from that ship and scattered in all directions.
The half-ship he was on had met the same fate.
"Oh, la la," Marica exclaimed as she maneuvered with her Moon Step, leaping nimbly in the low sky. While evading the attacks from the cake ships below, she would also swoop down in front of them, lifting the ships and hurling them at her intended targets.
But these ships would be cut in half by the slashes from the targeted vessels.
On one of those ships, Sumugi had some of her subordinates wrapped in fruit juice, coating their sword blades. Each slash they made was imbued with their abilities, easily slicing through the ships.
As the ability user of the Juice Juice Fruit, Sumugi combined her sword-wielding flying slashes with her powers. Her slashes not only had a long reach but were also terrifyingly powerful.
Bang!
Another slash was unleashed from a ship, rapidly approaching Marica. She countered it by weaving her hair into a hair wall, layer upon layer, blocking the attack. The slash dissipated in front of the hair wall, turning into a ball of fruit juice that lingered on the strands.
At that very moment, the direction of Maryca's flight had cleared all the cake ships along the way. Maryca's body quickly descended, landing on the deck of Sumugi's ship.
"Such delicious juice is a bit of a waste."
Maryca smiled and said, "There are still many people in this world who haven't tasted these things. It's good to let them have a taste too."
"It's you again."
Sumugi pointed his broadsword forward and said coldly, "This time, you won't have a chance to escape!"
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Maryca swiftly swung her sword, unleashing another slashing strike.
Maryca's hair danced rapidly, continuing to cross and form a wall of hair, blocking the strike. She quickly closed in, with her fist wrapped in hair, condensed with Armament Aura, and unleashed a fierce punch.
"Hair Wrist."
Boom!!
The punch landed on the broadsword, causing the ship to shake and tremble violently on the water's surface.
Sumugi blocked with his broadsword, then lifted it up, parrying Maryca's fist and slicing through the few strands of hair wrapped around it. He slashed horizontally, unleashing a horizontal strike.
Maryca instinctively leaned her body back, dodging the horizontal slash. Immediately after, several loud noises were heard.
Just like when she lifted the cake ships along the way, the Catastrophe Warships behind her, which were rampaging across the ocean, were also cut in half by this wide-ranging horizontal slash, with two of them falling into the sea.
"It seems I can't warm up."
Maryca's smiling face gradually turned serious, and she opened her squinting eyes. Her hair, which had been dancing like a snake, was now tamed and became very smooth.
"Are you giving up?"
Although Sumugi said this, his body tensed up unconsciously.
Something felt off.
The woman's aura wasn't weakening; instead, it seemed like she was gathering something.
"Our captain has come to our door. He didn't say to give up, so of course, we won't either."
Maryca let her hands hang naturally, and her smile faded. On her forehead, a mysterious mark appeared, like a tattoo or a blooming flower. It quickly expanded from her forehead to her entire forehead, then to her arms, and finally disappeared into her body, as if nothing had happened.
Boom!
A powerful gust of energy erupted from Maryca's body, causing her hair to dance wildly.
But unlike the hair controlled by Life Restoration, this was pure energy bursting out from within, causing an involuntary tremor and dance.
In Sumugi's perception, if Maryca was like a cannonball before, she was now like an exploding cannonball, and she continued to maintain this explosive state!
Maryca said, "Even more perfect than my state in the Country of Blue, you're just the right opponent for me."
"What's this?"
Sumugi, who had seen a lot, frowned and said, "Storing power and then releasing it all at once? Earthquake Fist? Is this your trump card?"
"I prefer to call it Heavenly Origin Lotus."
Combining Life Restoration with the improved martial art created by Sage through Lao G's Earthquake Fist, it had already achieved perfect fusion.
"As for the specific feeling..."
Maryca raised her hands and lightly clenched her fists, "Why don't you give it a try?"
