"That guy is..."
From the shadows, the Tyrant Kuma stared in shock at the distant colossal figure.
Instinctively, he pulled out the Straw Hat Pirates' Wanted Posters and opened iser's sheet. After comparing them, he confird it was indeed the sa person.
"This ninja can not only use Ninjutsu but also grow this enormous...?" Kuma muttered to himself.
This discovery truly astonished him.
"Is this also Ninjutsu?"
"Or... is he a Devil Fruit Ability User?"
At this mont, Kuma developed an intense interest in iser.
"Huh?!"
"Who's there?"
Hearing soone call out to him, Oars set down what he was holding and stood up, turning to look behind him.
When he finally got a clear look at iser, he froze montarily before exclaiming excitedly, "Huh?!!"
"A Giant!!"
His expression was as if he had seen a long-lost relative—pure excitent.
iser:
Watching Oars' overjoyed reaction, iser was montarily speechless.
"Hey, Giant, why aren't you saying anything?"
"You're a giant yourself, you know," iser retorted.
"Oh, right~" Oars finally realized and nodded. "I am a giant too."
His mories were a bit jumbled—he had genuinely forgotten he was a giant.
Shaking his head, Oars then declared, "If we're both giants... then doesn't that make us... family?!"
As he spoke, Oars wore an ecstatic expression, making iser's eye twitch.
Being stared at so eagerly by a zombie and being called family gave him a rather peculiar feeling.
"Who's family with you?" iser said disdainfully. "I'm a ninja, not so giant."
But to iser's surprise, Oars didn't seem disappointed—if anything, he grew even more excited.
"Ooh, a ninja?!"
"iser, show so Ninjutsu!"
"i..."
"Huh?"
"Who's iser?"
Oars blinked, falling into deep thought. Who exactly was this person whose na had just slipped from his lips?
Observing Oars' reaction, iser nodded.
Though the other still retained so mories, they were clearly fading—just as he had suspected earlier.
"iser is ," iser stated. "Your mory isn't wrong. You do know ."
"Well, more accurately, the owner of your shadow."
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Oars frowned at iser. "I don't know you."
"Doesn't matter. I know you," iser grinned. "Because I've wanted to beat you up for a long ti now."
With that, iser glanced toward the forest where his friends were—far enough that fighting here wouldn't endanger them.
Satisfied, he nodded and then roared, "Damn Luffy, take this!!"
With a mighty shout, iser charged at Oars, throwing a punch right away!
"Raaah!"
Not one to back down, Oars raised his own fist and swung back fiercely.
He didn't know why this giant wanted to fight him, but... he wasn't about to just stand there and take it!
"BOOM!!"
Two enormous fists collided violently, instantly generating a terrifying shockwave!
"KABOOM!!"
"ARGH!!"
The surrounding zombies were sent flying by the force, crashing hard into the distance. Those further away scrambled madly to escape, their faces filled with terror.
"It's a monster battle!"
"Everyone, run!!"
"Stay out of their attack range - this could really kill zombies!!"
The zombies went berserk, fleeing at top speed to avoid another punch from these two terrors. As weaklings, they didn't even qualify to stand near these giants.
"Is...is that iser?!"
From the window of a distant skyscraper, Sanji and the others stared in shock at iser's massive silhouette, their faces full of disbelief.
"That man actually grew this big?"
"No wonder he said he could handle Oars..." Nami remarked, swallowing hard as she glanced at the glass shattered by their collision. A punch with that kind of power would absolutely flatten her in one hit.
"So...so cool!!"
"Is this Ninjutsu too?!"
Luffy and Chopper both gazed excitedly at iser's back. Becoming a giant was practically a dream co true! That iser could achieve this through Ninjutsu was incredible!
"I believe he can defeat that zombie now..." Lola gulped. His massive size rivaled even that Giant prince's. The power behind that punch was truly terrifying.
"Ninja big bro is aweso!!"
Echo and the others exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. Having such a powerful ally was the greatest fortune of their lives!
"Unless I misheard...did iser just say Luffy's na earlier?" rry suddenly spoke up.
The group imdiately fell silent, turning to look at Luffy who was still laughing excitedly.
"Huh?"
"What's up?"
"'What's up'? What did you do to piss off iser?" Sanji groaned. "iser's clearly using that guy as your punching bag..."
As he spoke, Sanji's eyes lit up. The idea of punching Luffy was appealing to him too. Damn it, he should've volunteered to help iser fight that Giant. Even if his attacks might not be effective, he could've provided support!
"I...I don't know..." Luffy said weakly. He hadn't intentionally angered iser - why would iser want to hit him?
"Honestly, even I want to punch this idiot sotis," Nami said.
"Eh?!" Chopper stared at Nami in shock. "Nami, don't you usually just hit Luffy directly?"
"This is different."
Nami grinned as she watched the distant colossus. "This one we can actually kill."
Chopper:
So that's the important part?
"Don't worry Luffy, after iser kills him this ti, he won't hit you anymore," Nico Robin teased.
Lola twitched at this remark. Wasn't this just scaring the Straw Hat Boy?
Luffy: .
Though he didn't know why iser had punched him, now wasn't the ti to dwell on such matters. The priority was to go punch Moria away.
With that thought, Luffy imdiately tossed these concerns aside and charged forward with a roar.
"Moria, get out here!"
"Let's go, iser's battle has begun. We need to step up too."
"Oars!"
Taking one last glance at iser's retreating figure, Lola felt a surge of emotion. A Pirate Crew like this, once they entered the New World, would undoubtedly stir up massive waves.
"Ahahaha, it's been so long since I t soone who could trade punches with !" Oars suddenly burst into excited laughter. "This feels great!!"
After saying this, Oars paused, murmuring to himself, "Trading punches..."
Strange. He clearly felt like it had been ages since he last exchanged blows with soone, so why did it also feel like he'd just fought soone not long ago?
"Don't bother thinking about pointless things. Right now, all you need to focus on is how to defeat ."
"Otherwise..." iser grinned. "You might just die."
For an unkillable Zombie like this, iser was absolutely delighted—what better punching bag could there be?
"That won't do." Oars retracted his fist, grinning just as widely. "I'm the man who's gonna be the Pirate King."
"I can't die here."
"So... I'll just have to take you down first!"
"Rubber..."
"Pistol!!"
Oars bellowed, hurling his fist straight at iser with trendous force.
But halfway through, his fist abruptly stopped, failing to reach iser.
"Huh?!!"
"That's weird... I could've sworn my fist could stretch..."
"Did I rember wrong?"
Oars stared at his own fist, utterly baffled.
iser: "..."
Luffy was already plenty dumb, but after possessing this guy, he sohow got even dumber.
Shaking his head, iser delivered a powerful kick!
"Bam!"
The sheer force sent Oars reeling backward, crashing into the forest behind him.
The next mont...
"BOOM!!"
The colossal, dozens-of-ters-tall body slamd into the ground, sending another shockwave rippling outward, uprooting and flinging the surrounding trees into the air.
"You bastard, how dare you kick —"
Before Oars could finish, iser leaped toward him, aiming a devastating elbow strike.
"Take this!!"
Oars' expression changed, and he imdiately rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"BOOM!!"
Though Oars dodged, the earth wasn't so lucky.
That single strike alone gouged out a massive crater in the ground.
Glancing at the destruction he'd caused, iser mused that this island was probably sturdy enough to withstand their battle.
Then, he stood up, shooting Oars a sidelong glance. "Tch, you're pretty quick."
That roll was executed flawlessly—dodging his elbow strike in one smooth motion.
"Elbow strike..." Oars muttered. "Why didn't I think of that?"
As he spoke, his single eye glead, as if he'd stumbled upon sothing fascinating.
The next instant, Oars sprang into action.
With heavy steps, he charged toward iser, raising his arm as he moved.
"Beast Elbow Strike!!"
"I—"
"Hmph, take this Sweeping Leg!"
iser sneered, ducking low to evade Oars' elbow strike while simultaneously sweeping his leg against Oars' calf.
"BAM!!"
"Ugh... I lost my balance..."
Struck by iser's attack, Oars' legs gave way uncontrollably, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.
"This is the price of neglecting leg training!" iser crossed his arms and remarked.
"Huh?!!"
"Is that really how it is?!" The zombies in the distance gasped in shock.
As they spoke, they glanced at Oars lying on the ground. His massive fra seed disproportionately supported by his slender legs, making it clear they were a weak point.
"Damn it, you actually attacked like this..."
"Why wouldn't I target such an obvious weakness?" iser retorted.
It was obvious that Oars had focused all his training on his upper body. Against soone like this, breaking his legs would be enough.
Thinking this, iser grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitent.
"What are you planning...?" Oars scrambled to his feet, eyeing iser warily.
For so reason, the other's smile suddenly seed terrifying—like a demon grinning at him.
"Nothing much. Just planning to break your legs."
"Huh?!!"
"You're terrifying!!"
"Enough nonsense! We're enemies—did you really expect to hold back?!" iser roared. "Luffy, you bastard, take this!"
With that, he leaped into the air, launching a Flying Kick straight at Oars.
"I'm not Luffy!!"
"I'm... Oars!!"
Enraged, Oars swung his leg hard toward iser, and the two clashed mid-air with a powerful kick.
"BOOM!!"
The impact was like thunder crashing onto the island!
The next mont, both landed and imdiately charged at each other again, engaging in a brutal, fist-to-flesh brawl.
"Ora ora ora!"
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
Every collision of their fists sounded like thunder!
"This... This is like two monsters fighting..."
Moria, watching from the window, was filled with shock.
He never imagined that the ninja, who wielded multiple elental attacks, could also make his body grow so enormous... How had he done it?
Had he eaten a Devil Fruit?
Or was his race inherently special, granting him such extraordinary power?
As he watched the two giants puml each other relentlessly, Moria muttered, "If only soone like him could beco my subordinate..."
For a mont, he couldn't help but envy the Straw Hat Boy.
Even though he had sworn off recruiting new followers, he now desperately wanted soone like iser on his side.
If he were willing to join my ranks, I might even make an exception... Moria thought to himself.
Just like when Hogback and the others had joined him—one more wouldn't hurt.
If he could obtain this ninja, then the day of defeating Kaido would be getting closer and closer!
At this thought, Moria's eyes lit up.
Just then, Luffy's roar echoed through the corridor.
"Moria!!!"
"You bastard, get out here!!"
"Straw Hat Boy..."
Hearing Luffy's voice, Moria glanced back at the door and grinned.
Then he rose from the sofa, step by step walking toward the center of the room.
The next mont...
"BOOM!!"
The tightly shut door was suddenly kicked open as Luffy charged in from outside.
"Moria!!"
"Ah, found you, you fat garlic head!!"
Moria's mouth twitched at the insult—what a rude little brat.
"Moria, give back my shadow!"
"Straw Hat Boy, returning your shadow isn't impossible."
"Huh?"
Luffy, who was about to attack, paused in surprise. "You're willing to give it back?"
"Indeed. I could return all your crew's shadows, no problem."
"You're this generous?"
Luffy eyed Moria suspiciously. The guy just stole their shadows and now wants to return them?
Was that even possible?
"Don't rush—hear out first~" Moria grinned. "There's a condition."
"What condition?"
"I want soone!!" Moria raised a finger. "That ninja. If you convince him to willingly join my subordinates, I'll return everything. Rest assured, I'll treat him well and let you all leave sa—"
Before Moria could finish, he saw Luffy press his hands hard against his legs.
"Shhh—"
Steam erupted from Luffy's head as his expression twisted into fury.
Moria's words had directly touched Luffy's reverse scale!
"I won't let anyone lay a finger on my crew!!" Luffy roared. "No one!!"
"Rubber·Jet Rocket Launcher!!"
"Oh no, shado—"
Before Moria could react, the attack struck him. The writhing shadows on the ground froze as Moria took the hit.
"BAM!!"
The blow slamd into Moria's stomach, making his eyes bulge out. Like a cannonball, he crashed through the wall and was sent flying!
"BOOM!!"
