Chapter 216 - Green Bull 02.
[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Somewhere on sea, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy was looking at Ryokugyu with a solemn gaze, while the tree itself did not like how all those pirates were looking at it, as if they were competing among themselves for who would deliver the final blow.
"It's a beautiful tree, it will be satisfying to cut it down." Zoro commented, drawing his katanas from their sheaths.
"This guy has a funny face." Yamato murmured, looking strangely.
"He's big, but seems so easy to beat." Hugo commented with crossed arms.
"It's a shame that my rival isn't here, I could beat her in this competition." Reiju commented with a cigarette in her mouth.
"What beautiful flowers, the forest is so vast!" Shirahoshi ignored the tree and started to observe the effect of the mori mori no mi.
"..." Luffy remained silent.
"..." Kuina also made no comment.
"Hey, you should be paying attention to our enemy!" Nami said.
"Yes, Nami-Sama!" Shirahoshi spoke, now looking at the tree.
"You all seem very calm." The tree spoke for the first time, observing them.
"Because we are calm, you spinach." Zoro replied, placing his last weapon in his mouth.
"Then try to get rid of this!" Ryokugyu and countless roots grew under the crew members' feet, but all disappeared at that moment, escaping the reach of the forest and appearing in the sky.
"Hey, Zoro initiated the attack!" Kuina murmured, as Zoro was already in front of the tree with his swords.
Seeing this, Ryokugyu launched an attack while using haki to defend and attack the swordsman, the swords and a fist with bakery and haki clashed against each other, creating an explosion of red lightning.
"You might have beaten Usopp, but that's because he's not a specialist in armament haki!" Zoro commented and forced his swords against the fist, cutting it.
"What?! Your haki beat mine?" Ryokugyu wasn't fighting seriously yet, but was surprised by this development.
"You should be paying attention to your surroundings." A voice emerged from beside the tree.
"Hm?" Ryokugyu looked to the side and saw Kaido's daughter with her weapon, launching it against him, his face immediately flew back with the force of Yamato's haki.
"That hurt!!" He murmured, as he fell, new trees began to grow from the ground and flew towards Yamato, who began to dodge and punch, but could no longer get close to him, Zoro on the other side began to cut down the trees.
"This isn't good..." Ryokugyu commented and started to press the pirates even more, with the forest still growing.
Suddenly, numerous attacks, ice, red fire, purple fire, wind, water, and stones, began to bombard the forest.
"!" Ryokugyu was surprised as his forest began to be reduced by the attacks.
"Are they overdoing it?!" Vivi asked from the boat seeing everything being bombarded.
In the sky, Luffy launched his flames, Reiju the phoenix flames kicking with fire cuts, Shirahoshi created a water ball with her hands and threw them turning into water dragons, Nami created winds with her hands, Hugo created giant stones and launched them with his fists, and Kuina sliced the air sending cold energy.
The forest turned into a series of elemental explosions, while below, Yamato ran through the explosions heading towards Ryokugyu to launch another attack, and Zoro sent cuts eliminating all the fist trees.
Ryokugyu was really under pressure, when he ended up losing his posture and the swordsman took advantage of his open side and launched a cut. The tree was cut in half, but Ryokugyu managed to escape, while another tree emerged further away.
However, a line of blood appeared on his face. "That's it!" Ryokugyu seemed quite frustrated, so much so that he didn't even notice the pink-haired woman using Geppo and approaching while her feet filled with flames with a spin and hitting another side of the tree's cheek.
The tree felt the haki and flames on Reiju's feet and was thrown to the opposite side, while it flew breaking everything in the forest.
"I will kill you all!" Ryokugyu exclaimed again, but his sound was muffled as soon as Nami flew with her Garuda wings in front of him and using both hands, enveloped the forest within a hurricane.
Ryokugyu tried to hold his forest against that wind, a heavy man landed in front of him in the midst of the woods, Hugo propelled himself even with that wind and jumped on Ryokugyu, closing his hand with Haki and punching his chin before the tree could react much.
Ryokugyu immediately flew into the sky with the force of Hugo along with Nami's wind. He finally found himself outside of the hurricane while his face was already bleeding. Shirahoshi appeared at that moment in front of him.
"Tree-Sama, I will fight against you," Shirahoshi spoke, somewhat shyly, and with a movement of her two hands, she created water using oxygen molecules and a huge water sphere to trap Ryokugyu inside, Kuina made her move appearing beside Shirahoshi and using her sword cut, the water ball turned into spiky ice.
"It looks like it's my turn..." Luffy was even further above everyone, he raised his fist behind... and everyone feeling this, began to move away, even Yamato, Hugo, Zoro, and Nami in the forest started to retreat.
The flames rocks began to grow through Luffy's fist and expanded until it became a massive flame, running like a vortex, until Luffy flew towards the ice sphere with his fist with those flames and punched it.
The ice sphere caught fire and flew downwards like a purple meteor, colliding with the forest above the sea, what happened after it fell was an endless explosion of Luffy's flames, which like a meteor, began to run everything around.
The forest was entirely covered by the flames and disintegrating everything...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
The explosion stopped only 30 seconds later while the smoke and steam from the sea rose covering everything in it.
"Damn captain... did you win?" Zoro murmured.
"You know I didn't, Zoro." Luffy commented before feeling something.
The sea appeared full of debris from what was left of the forest scattered everywhere, while the water was returning to normal, a sprout emerged and spread again like the first time, and another forest emerged again with the central tree.
Ryokugyu finally emerged, but not as well as before, his face was toasted to charcoal, his nose was broken, faces cut, and a bit sunken from the previous attacks.
"It's quite a sight... He managed to become even uglier..." Hugo murmured.
"Hahaha. He looks angry." Luffy smiled.
"..." Ryokugyu couldn't exclaim in front of the beating he took, he could only growl and start attacking them again. His forest followed to the sky with fist trees and he tried to hit the group that began to dodge again and go in his direction.
Again, the fight continued with Luffy and the others not combining attacks anymore, going into a direct confrontation against the forest creature.
The crew on the Black Pearl continued to watch the show of elements that followed in the next 20 minutes.
"They're giving him a beating." Alvida said, looking at the fight.
"GRRRR!"
"KAROOO!"
"WOOOOLF!"
"SHARY!"
"GO CAPTAIN!"
"AMAZING!"
"At least some seem the animals seem so happy." Nojiko laughed, seeing the animals with Bepo and Chopper cheering for Luffy and the others.
In the end, the forest once again was destroyed and Ryokugyu was even worse off. "Why... why am I losing so badly to a group of rookies!" Ryokugyu growled, he really could not do beyond trying to defend, one of his eyes was already closed while more blood dripped from his nose and mouth, suffering numerous attacks with Haki.
"I think we should finish him." Luffy commented.
"Luffy-Sama! Can I try something?" Shirahoshi suddenly said.
"Hm? Sure... I guess you can." Luffy commented, wondering what she wanted to do, seeing the forest emerging again, Shirahoshi stood in front of the group swimming through the air.
She took a deep breath and looked at the tree with a much fiercer look than usual.
Ryokugyu immediately felt that something bad was going to happen, Shirahoshi then shouted. "COME!" She said, and a sound wave emerged from her.
The sea immediately entered a tidal wave, leaving everyone surprised.
"What is this?!" Ryokugyu asked, frowning.
"HEY, what's happening?!" Vivi asked worried while Chopper started to run away crying in fear.
"I don't know..." Nojiko commented.
"What's happening?" Robin also asked.
"This...?" Usopp finally woke up and looked around, moving to the side of the ship. "It's like what happened in the East Blue!" He exclaimed.
"She's using that!" The crew members who had seen that scene before were surprised, and even Luffy looked on with a raised eyebrow as the entire horizon trembled after Shirahoshi made her call.
Around the forest, a huge shadow began to emerge from the water, and before Ryokugyu could react, the sea rose between the forest and began to cover it.
"WHAT IS THIS!?" Ryokugyu was scared.
"We should get out of here!" Luffy said, seeing that they would also be enveloped by the shadow. He used his increased speed and grabbed the mermaid by the waist with a cry of surprise, and started kicking everyone's butt so they flew to the ship like projectiles while screaming, Luffy ended up leaving last with Shirahoshi.
The shadow began to rise, and Luffy escaped before he and Shirahoshi were swallowed.
"A monster!" Bepo shouted from the ship, seeing how it was insignificant compared to that.
Everyone was also stunned, even those who wanted to scold Luffy for receiving his kick in their buttocks.
In the end, a huge sea monster swallowed Ryokugyu's forest without catching the Black Pearl. Luffy looked at the creature with the huge eye, making even Laboon, who was already large, seem small.
The monster looked back, mainly at the mermaid who looked at it with curiosity, "Thank you for coming! Now you can go back!" Shirahoshi exclaimed, and Luffy frowned, after all, they almost got swallowed too.
The sea king seemed to listen to Shirahoshi, and the next moment, returned to the sea generating a huge wave, but without harming anyone else.
Luffy returned to the deck, landing softly in the middle while everyone gathered, the ship was still rocking from the turbulent sea, but soon it was calming down,
"I won the competition, didn't I?!" Shirahoshi had a victorious smile, one that not even her friend Megalo could share, since this innocent mermaid had awakened her power that had swallowed at least 200 meters of forest along with a man who could be classified as a navy admiral.
"I guess so..." Luffy answered, letting her go and looked at everyone, Reiju was scratching her butt while looking at him grumpily along with Kuina and Nami.
"Well, I guess we better continue our journey, it seems we won't be seeing forest man anytime soon, if he survives, that is..." Luffy said awkwardly and everyone went back to their journey to Water Seven.
