Chapter 215 - Green Bull 01.

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Somewhere on sea, First Half of Grandline.

...

Ryokugyu continued pedaling towards the ship, now having his target in sight. Luffy glanced at him for a moment and then returned to his crew.

"Do you know him, Luffy?" Yamato approached.

"A bit, this man is on the level of a navy admiral," he said.

"What?!"

"An admiral!!!"

"Should we run away?"

"He seems to be hunting us!"

"KAROOO!"

Hearing Luffy's words, some crew members panicked, but the captain just shrugged it off. "It would really be hard to deal with him alone, even with our training," Luffy acknowledged the power of the forest logia and how troublesome it is. "But, look around us, who in the world could face us alone." He said with a smile.

"This is a good test for all of us, I don't like fighting together against just one opponent, but since he came to our ship, let's show him our combined power," Luffy declared, making everyone nod in agreement.

"Hm?!" Ryokugyu noticed a movement on the ship and saw a man with a long nose holding a weapon, pointing at him.

"Eieiei. This looks dangerous..." He murmured and then couldn't even react when Usopp launched another shot of light in his direction,

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!*

The explosion once again disintegrated the water, but unlike Jack, Ryokugyu could fly, appearing above the explosion with a flower spinning on his back, allowing him to glide in the air.

"He can fly with a giant flower?!" Usopp murmured after taking his weapon off aim, Luffy next to him slapped his back.

"Why don't you fight him?" He asked.

"Me?" Usopp seemed unsure.

"Don't be like that, show your training power, you made Jack, a calamity, sink into the sea, you can freely show your power against him, besides, you're not alone," he said, wanting to see the extent of his sniper's power, one of the few Luffy had yet to see in full action.

Usopp nodded and still with the wings on his back from the attack he had made, he flew up, leaving the Black Pearl and meeting the man in the air.

"Hey, Luffy. Will he be okay?" Nami approached.

"Usopp is very strong now, he can take care of himself," Luffy spoke and continued, "I don't think Usopp can beat him, but he will surely put on a good show." Luffy smiled.

In the air, Ryokugyu looked, narrowing his eyes behind his glasses at the long-nosed man flying with wings towards him. 'I don't remember seeing this power in the report... so it must be a recent power.' He murmured.

Raising his hand, his fingers began to transform into spikes, launching them at Usopp, who quickly saw the movement and opened his wings, generating balls of light and launching them at the man in the sky.

The spikes and streaks of light collided, but Usopp had the advantage, as in addition to disintegrating with the streaks of light, the shots continued flying towards Ryokugyu. Without much time to react, since he didn't have much mobility in the air, they collided with his body.

*BOOOOOMMM!!!*

A bunch of explosions occurred on that side, and Usopp kept an eye on the man, feeling with his observation haki that his attack didn't even affect the logia, Ryokugyu appeared after the smoke dissipated, appearing with parts of his body missing but regrowing like a kind of growing plant.

"What ability is this?" Vivi asked Luffy on the Black Pearl.

"This is the mori mori no mi, the forest fruit, Ryokugyu is the forest man with this logia," Luffy spoke.

"A forest logia... his abilities are so versatile that he can even create a forest in Alabasta," Robin added.

"A forest in Alabasta..." Vivi murmured, as that would be quite useful for the citizens.

"Well... anyway, let's see how Usopp will deal with him," Luffy comments and sees Usopp pulling his pistols from his waist.

Using dual pistols, Usopp's body begins to glow and he disappears the next moment, appearing above the man, where Usopp kicks him making him fly while still recovering, with him falling, Usopp points the pistols and starts firing shots of light.

*BOOOOOMMM!!!*

Another part of Ryokugyu's body is destroyed, as he falls to the ground.

"He really got him good..." Kuina comments as she watches Ryokugyu's body being destroyed, only for a sprout to emerge from the light, falling towards the sea before hitting the ground. Roots began to emerge from it, spreading across the sea at that moment and expanding in all directions.

"Can he create roots in the sea?" Nojiko was surprised.

"It seems quite similar to Kuzan." Luffy adds, and Robin nods in agreement.

The roots continued to expand across the water's surface, and plants and trees began to emerge from them, turning the area into a forest, even hiding the sea beneath it all.

The Black Pearl shuddered, "This guy... he's targeting us too..." Hugo commented, looking around as he felt the roots covering the ship's hull and spreading upwards.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Chopper cried out as he saw a root emerging and chasing after him, but Luffy grabbed it before it could reach Chopper and quickly burned it with his purple flames.

"Chouchou, use your ice and freeze the sea around the ship, to prevent these roots from emerging so easily." Luffy ordered, and Chouchou transformed into Cerberus, biting the emerging roots before one of its heads opened its mouth and produced a white beam into the sea, immediately freezing it.

As soon as he saw the frozen sea, Luffy nodded in satisfaction, knowing he wouldn't have to worry about an attack from below, but the roots continued to expand until reaching the ice. That's when a powerful attack came from the sky, halting the advance of the mori mori no mi. Usopp began to bombard the roots as they grew.

A tree emerged with a cut in the middle of the rising forest. "That's huge!!" Hachi exclaimed upon seeing it.

"Wow!!!" Shirahoshi seemed fascinated.

"That's scary!!!" Usopp shouted from above, finding the huge face on the tree quite bizarre while shooting at it with a grimace.

Suddenly, the face on the tree looked at him, causing him to lose courage with those eyes. "Usopp, you can do better than that!" Luffy shouted from the ship, finding his crewmate cowering over little when he hadn't even used all his power.

"Luffy's right, I'll face him!" Usopp shouted with determination.

The tree looked at him, ignoring the Black Pearl, since Ryokugyu wanted to eliminate this troublesome individual and capture the Straw Hats.

From the forest, giant hands began to grow in the form of fists and were launched at Usopp, who aimed his pistols at the attack.

*BOOOOMMMMMM*

Ryokugyu had evolved his fruit so much that fire, being the greatest weakness of the forest, ended up making it resistant to this type of element, the same could be said of light, as the wooden spikes came out of the explosion with some parts missing and heading for Usopp in the air, who had to use his agility to dodge the attacks.

Seeing no other choice, Usopp then dashed forward, going towards Ryokugyu transformed into that huge tree.

He faced the fists, but Usopp had Geppo, his wings, and the element of light for movement, so he descended zigzagging through the air while dodging the fists and getting close to his enemy. As soon as he was in front of the tree, Usopp transformed with a burst of Light into Bahamut!

His shadow covered the tree, and he clamped his claws onto the trunks while biting a stunned Ryokugyu for seeing this giant dragon taking him down hard.

For the crew, it was an incredible scene as the dragon grabbed the huge tree with its giant body and bit its trunk.

"Get out of here!" Ryokugyu said while creating fists to push Usopp away. But the dragon didn't let go and continued biting his trunk, with a light beginning to emerge in its mouth.

"You think that will work against me?!!" Ryokugyu spoke, still surprised that this shooter was a mythical zoan of a dragon he had never heard of.

Usopp didn't stop, unleashing his power while biting the huge tree.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!*

His power ran like a huge beam of light, disintegrating everything in its path, causing half of the tree to disappear along with the forest behind it.

"How strong!" Uta exclaimed on the deck, covering her eyes as the energy light traveled and even covered the sunlight.

After a while with the enormous sound, things began to calm down as a part of the sea was left without water, and with the force of gravity, the sides began to flood the middle part.

Bahamut was still caught in the tree, however, a huge tree hand with Haki hit him, sending him flying back, feeling the impact of the punch. Ryokugyu had returned again while the tree returned to normal, now with him using Haki.

"That hurt..." Usopp exclaimed in his dragon form as he spat out blood, he opened his wings, and white light balls appeared again, he was going to fight again.

Releasing his energy, he shot towards the tree, while Ryokugyu didn't stay behind, building trees with fists to attack as well. The light and the trees collided with each other, generating numerous explosions in that area, but Usopp was at a disadvantage and was thrown back, however, he flew up launching energy directly at Ryokugyu.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!*

"Luffy... Usopp could only use Armament Haki, something he is not yet proficient in..." Zoro commented.

"It's true, but we should let Usopp fight this fight, it will be good training for him." He said, looking at the fight.

The fight between the forest and the dragon continued as Usopp and Ryokugyu kept up a tremendous clash in this area of the sea, attacks of light and trees continued for the next hour, however, Usopp began to be at a disadvantage, receiving many hits from Ryokugyu with Haki.

In the end, Usopp lost his transformation and fell unconscious into the forest, Ryokugyu did not stop there, wanting to suck Usopp's energy, he used his roots to advance against the fainted shooter, but could not catch him, after all, he had disappeared from the place, with Lami using Room and swapping him to bring Usopp back to the ship.

"It was a beautiful fight..." Luffy spoke satisfied and looked at Lami.

"Send us there." He said, and she raised her finger.

Ryokugyu, a bit frustrated for losing his prey, saw new opponents arriving at that moment, Luffy, Yamato, Reiju, Nami, Shirahoshi, Zoro, Kuina, and Hugo appeared in the middle of the forest created by Ryokugyu.

Luffy took his first step, "let's do this, let's see who defeats him using their transformation." Luffy smiled excitedly, as his arms turned to haki and flames began to emerge around him, the same could be said of his companions, each releasing their element, ready to fight against the giant tree that scowled at them as prey.
