Chapter 63: Seven Transformations Comes to an End.

"Amazing - Melting Snow Arrow!"

The fused boxer-archer, with four hands, truly shot arrows from both sides. The flaming arrows, trailing long tails of fire, flew towards Chopper like meteors, the two longbows firing like machine guns!

Facing the incoming flaming arrows, the little reindeer named Chopper dropped to all fours, transforming from an upright walking reindeer-man into a real reindeer.

"Leg Strength Enhancement - Speed!"

Whoosh—

Chopper instantly shed his cute appearance, showcasing the elegance of a reindeer!

Running through the gaps between arrows, leaping over flames! He dodged the heavy arrows like a leaping antelope, a soaring crane, avoiding all the arrows in a blur of afterimages, closing the distance to close combat—

"Hmph, Zoan-type Devil Fruit?"

However, the fused man wasn't worried, as he once had a colleague who was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user—Dalton, the captain of the Drum Kingdom's guards, a Bison Fruit user. A truly kind man who resisted Wapol's tyranny and was captured.

"I've long understood the three transformations of you Zoan-type users, reindeer-man!"

"I'm a human-reindeer!"

Charging at high speed in reindeer form, Chopper instantly stood up, his body swelling like a balloon in a writhing motion! Unlike a balloon, the muscles bulging under his fur clearly indicated the power within.

"Muscle Enhancement - Strength!"

Chopper, like a skilled boxer, clenched his right hand into a hammer, rotated his waist, and with a twist of his spine, delivered a 'Spiral Punch' with violent force towards the fused man's head.

**Clap!**

Two hands suddenly clapped together, blocking Chopper's fist, and the head above the neck laughed.

"Don't forget, I'm the strongest boxer in Drum Kingdom!"

"And I am the strongest archer in Drum Kingdom—"

Although he called himself an 'archer', the head on his chest instantly drew two large hammers and swung them at Chopper from both sides! His four arms were not just for show; they could deliver deadly attacks.

"Amazing - Pulverizing Hammer!"

Boom!!

With one hammer strike, snow splashed everywhere! The ground cracked!

The powerful force instantly vaporized the half-meter-thick snow, revealing the iron-hard permafrost below! However, Chopper, the target, was...

"Where did he go—"

"Leg Strength Enhancement - Leap!"

The fusion man suddenly looked up. Above him, Chopper, maintaining his human form but with long limbs, flipped in mid-air. He had used his incredible jumping ability to dodge the hammers.

"How is this possible—" The fusion man's four eyes were filled with shock. "A Zoan fruit only has three forms, right? What is this..."

Although Chopper's combat form was beyond the fusion man's expectations, he was once the 'strategist' and 'chief guard' of Drum Kingdom. Even in shock, his combat instincts drove him to swing his hammers at Chopper in mid-air!

"In the air, you have no leverage. You're dead!"

Facing the giant hammers with a fierce whistling sound, Chopper calmly curled his body, shrinking into a ball like a child, and then:

Boom—

He suddenly 'exploded'.

"Fur Enhancement - Armor!"

The giant hammers landed on Chopper, but his fluffy, steel-like fur absorbed 99% of the impact! He landed unharmed, looking like a giant furball.

"Your hammers can't hurt me."

Grinning, baring his teeth, the fusion man's two faces showed ferocious expressions as he roared in frustration!

"Don't get cocky, you monster!"

...

"Hey, hey, hey, you have the nerve to call someone else a monster?"

Sanji, forcibly logged out by the 139-year-old Dr. Kureha sitting on him, could only use sarcasm to make his presence known. Meanwhile, Luffy, who should have been fighting Wapol, was already starry-eyed with envy at Chopper's 'seven transformations'!

"So cool! Seven transformations—"

"I must get this reindeer on our ship!"

...

"Arm Strength Enhancement - Hoof!"

"Amazing - Eight-Faced Avalanche!"

In human form, Chopper's arm muscles bulged like iron pillars, and his hands turned into iron hooves that could easily crush rocks! The fusion man also drew two giant axes, and axes and hammers rained down on Chopper from all directions.

Chopper didn't hold back either, punching and kicking rapidly, targeting the opponent's weapons! It was attack against attack, with no retreat.

"Hahaha, die, die, die—"

One side was wildly aggressive, the other silently responded.

One side wielded axes and hammers, the other was bare-handed...

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—!"

The intense, continuous sound of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield, mixed with Chopper's fur turning redder and redder!

But gradually, the sound turned into 'crack, crack', as the metal couldn't withstand the storm-like attacks.

"What—"

Crack!

The weapon in his hand suddenly shattered into pieces of iron! He stumbled and quickly raised his arms to shield himself, but:

"Where... where is he?"

In front of him, the reindeer that had been fiercely attacking just moments ago had vanished!

"What are you looking at?"

---

A calm voice came from below, making the two heads of the fused man lower simultaneously, and then they saw:

Cherry blossoms!

Hooves like cherry blossoms enlarged in their four pupils simultaneously, and before the fused man could react, they had already 'stamped' on the jaws of his two heads. The intense shock penetrated both brains, instantly depriving the fused man of all thinking ability.

"Carving Hoof - Cherry Blossom!"

Snap, X2

With a crisp sound merging into one, the tall fused man slowly fell backward.

"Huff, I will never let anyone trample on my teacher's dream!"

---

Meanwhile, in the castle.

"Brother, big brother,"

"Have mercy, let me go~~~"

...

"I ask you, can you create 'Wapol Metal'?"

Faced with Roman's question, Wapol, who was lying on the ground like a fat hippo, was stunned, "This... sounds a bit like my name..."

It's not just like, it's something you 'invented'!

Forget it, it seems there's no Wapol Metal at this time. So: "White Knight, do it."

"Ahhh, nooo~~"

Glancing at Wapol, who was being held down and having his blood drawn by the 'White Knight,' Roman and Nami, who were sitting in wheelchairs nearby, both had black lines on their faces! Come on, it's just a few pounds of blood, not slaughtering a pig...

Overall, the battle in the castle was simple:

Wapol rushed in and saw Roman, shocked!

He found Roman in a crippled state, delighted!

Wapol attacked,

Roman released the 'White Knight.'

Wapol happily admitted defeat.

White Knight: Finally, I'm not just a servant pouring tea and sailing the ship!!

As Roman's earliest developed puppet skill, the 'White Knight,' which had most of his effort poured into it, was positioned as a 'combat unit,' but usually, due to its basic intelligence, it was always in a menial role.

However, if Roman wanted, he could fully invest his 'spirit' into it. Apart from lacking the strength of the main body, its speed and unafraid-of-injury characteristics made the 'White Knight's' combat power not inferior to Roman without Devil Fruit abilities.

It's roughly a 40 million bounty whiteboard. —Although not very strong, with rich experience, it's enough to deal with Wapol.

Tsk, forget it.

Let's spare this guy.

The Munch-Munch Fruit is indeed overpowered, but even if Roman had the ability now, he wouldn't have time to develop it. So:

It's better to draw a few tubes of Wapol's blood and store them in the "Thief's Extreme Art," and when Wapol develops Wapol Metal himself, Roman can get a sample and make it himself.

And with the Munch-Munch Fruit's ability, many ideas can...

Boom!

"Roman—"

Just as he was focused on watching Chopper's battle, Luffy rushed in, "Did you see that guy? The one like a hippo iron barrel..."

Roman pointed to Wapol, who was running to the rooftop. After drawing a few pounds of his blood, Roman 'intentionally' let the White Knight loosen its grip, giving Wapol a chance to use a move to 'swallow himself,' turning into a flexible thin man, and then using his ultimate skill 'Dash.'

"Stop!"

Luffy quickly chased after him, and the result was already predictable, while Roman began to think about how to use the two pages in his hand.
