One Piece: Let's go Luffy Chapter 519 519: Little Girl vs. Bearded Uncle

In that desperate instant, pitch-black lightning suddenly surged over Gaban's body.

A sharp gleam flashed through his eyes, and an overwhelming wave of Conqueror's Haki burst from his body, clashing head-on with the Psychic power around him.

Perhaps because both were extensions of ntal power, Gaban's Conqueror's Haki actually managed to keep Bonney's Power Swap move outside his body.

Seeing this, Bonney's brows furrowed slightly.

But in the next mont, with a wave of one hand, an illusion suddenly appeared beside her.

And the form of that illusion was none other than the twenty-four-year-old Bonney from earlier.

This was precisely what made the Age-Age Fruit so terrifying.

Even in her normal state, Bonney could already use the Age-Age Fruit's power to seize all kinds of futures that should not have belonged to this world.

Only, there was one prerequisite...

Bonney had to deeply believe that the future she imagined truly existed.

Under normal circumstances, as the ability user's understanding of the world beca clearer, the power of the Age-Age Fruit would weaken as they lost their fantasies about the future, making it harder to unleash its power.

This point was still reflected even in Bonney from the original story.

But unfortunately, in the current pirate world, there had appeared a transcendent, unreasonable existence who stood beyond the world itself!

Red!

His arrival had brought entirely new hope into this world.

And because Bonney had sensed the boundless possibilities of the future through Red, the current Bonney's Age-Age Fruit ability had not weakened at all. Instead, it had far surpassed the power shown in the original tiline.

Twisting space-ti to grant herself Nika's power?

That was nothing more than a minor trick!

The current Bonney could even distort the world at any mont and summon her future self to her side to fight alongside her.

Even Bonney herself could not say whether the summoned self was rely an expression of her Devil Fruit ability, or whether a version of herself from so future mont had truly been called over through that power.

In any case...

When the true twenty-four-year-old Bonney appeared beside little Bonney, with nothing more than a single glance, Gaban, who had still been stubbornly resisting, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes lost focus.

After doing all this, the twenty-four-year-old Bonney smiled arrogantly, gave little Bonney a "keep it up" look, then vanished once more.

Yes!

This was the power Bonney believed she should possess twelve years from now!

Although her future self was far too powerful, which ant Bonney could not manifest her for very long...

That one look was already enough!

As Gaban was injured and intimidated by future Bonney's power, the Conqueror's Haki he had unleashed disappeared in an instant.

Without Haki protecting him, Bonney's Power Swap instantly wrapped around Gaban's body.

Under the omnipotent Psychic power, the strength inside Gaban's body was imdiately swapped with Bonney's.

Once the move was complete, Bonney clenched her fist in amazent.

"As expected of the Pirate King's Left Hand!"

"This strength really is terrifying!"

As she spoke, Bonney stretched out her tiny child's hand and threw a fierce punch forward.

A horrifying wave of air suddenly surged forth, roaring ahead like a wild beast along with the wind from Bonney's fist.

On the other side, after the strength swap, Gaban actually lost his grip on his axes for a mont, and they abruptly fell to the ground.

As clarity returned to his eyes, Gaban stared at his hands in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"W-what is going on!? How did my strength...?"

Gaban, who did not know much about Pokémon, widened his eyes.

It was not that he had truly beco so weak that he could not even lift two axes.

After all, Bonney's current Pokémon level was not exactly low. Even though she had returned to her child form and did not possess much raw physical strength herself, the power granted to her by the Pokémon panel alone was enough to give her strength just below that of an ordinary Marine vice admiral.

It was just that, in an instant, less than one-tenth of his own strength remained, leaving Gaban unable to adapt to his body.

Just like Bonney at this mont. Even after swapping for Gaban's strength, she could not possibly use it one hundred percent as well as Gaban could.

But even so, it was already more than enough!!!

Boom!!!

While Gaban was still in shock, little Bonney had already shot into the sky. A mad smile spread across her lips as she swung the strength she had never experienced before and charged fiercely toward Gaban.

The shocking force blasted through the air with explosive booms.

Gaban, whose strength had been swapped but whose other attributes remained unchanged, looked up in horror, a flash of astonishnt passing through his eyes.

The next mont, he hurriedly picked up the two axes on the ground and quickly leaped into the distance.

Boom!!!

The instant Gaban jumped away, a huge crater suddenly appeared where he had just been standing.

The dust that rose up was like a curtain, blocking everyone's view.

But very soon, a lovely figure flew out from within the dust, her face still wearing that lawless smile.

Only, when it appeared on that little girl-like face, it looked sowhat mischievous instead.

Unfortunately, Gaban, the only person who could see that adorable face right now, had absolutely no mood to appreciate that innocence unique to children.

"Was it caused by that strange energy just now!?"

After losing the strength he was so proud of, even Gaban's dodging speed had been greatly affected, let alone his ability to counterattack Bonney.

However, without a Pokémon template—or rather, without Psychic power—he could not sense that, between his body and Bonney's, there was currently a bond ford from Psychic power linking the two of them.

As long as Bonney continued to output Psychic power and maintain the bond of Power Swap, then until this battle ended, the strength of the two would remain swapped as it was now.

In other words...

Against Gaban, the man Elbaf had placed its hopes on, the Straw Hat Pirates had once again produced an unsolvable thod, forcing this world-famous powerhouse into a position where he had no way to fight back.

Although this also left Bonney with no spare energy to use other Psychic-type moves, Gaban's strongest power—or rather, his only chance of victory—had already been sealed by Bonney.

For Bonney, this was a completely worthwhile trade.

After all, aside from Psychic-type moves, she still had plenty of other ways to attack.

...

...

"This is bad."

Outside the battlefield, Shanks, who had seen Gaban's predicant clearly through Observation Haki, suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.

The only way to break Gaban out of his current predicant was to unleash an overwhelming aura and cause Bonney's mind to lose balance in an instant, preventing her from continuing to maintain the bond of Power Swap.

But at the sa ti, Shanks knew very well that although Gaban also possessed Conqueror's Haki, his Conqueror's Haki was not particularly powerful. In fact, one could even say it was far inferior to Shanks's own.

Moreover, even if one possessed powerful Conqueror's Haki, could it really make Bonney, whose Psychic power was currently surging so fiercely, lose ntal balance?

And this was only the move Power Swap. Shanks had not forgotten the figure Bonney had summoned earlier...

Although it had only appeared for a brief instant, Shanks could feel that if he were to face that figure, perhaps what awaited him would also be instant defeat.

"Just what kind of monsters have Luffy and his crew raised?"

As he thought of this, an inexplicable smile imdiately appeared on Shanks's face.

At this mont, he felt both gratified by the Straw Hat Pirates' strength and silently mournful for the fate that awaited him next.

Since the other side could prepare a Bonney to counter Uncle Gaban, there was no reason they could not prepare another equally powerful existence to deal with him.

Of course, Shanks still had so confidence in his own skills.

After all, he was currently in his pri, completely unlike Uncle Gaban and Uncle Rayleigh, who no longer possessed the sa strength they had in their youth.

Boom!!!

The battle that followed could be described entirely as a real-life ga of cat and mouse.

Although Gaban had lost his strength, his Observation Haki and his vigilance toward danger had not been affected at all. So when facing Bonney, who still could not fully bring out that strength, he could always detect the traces of her attacks one step in advance and dodge.

anwhile, Bonney, who had obtained overwhelming strength, acted as though using sothing that was not hers ant she had no reason to feel sorry for it. She stomped all over Gaban's strength without the slightest care for the waste of blood and vitality, simply using her soft little pink fists to blast one enormous, terrifying crater after another into the ground.

The battle seed to have fallen into a stalemate.

But both Gaban and Bonney knew very well that once the other side's energy or stamina ran out, that would be the mont they seized victory.

And so, with similar thoughts in mind, the two of them began an intense chase across the battlefield.

But as ti passed, Bonney, who still had a child's temperant, was the first to lose patience.

"Damn it!!! Running around again and again! You don't even dare face head-on! And you call yourself the Pirate King's Left Hand!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, little Bonney suddenly stopped attacking and hovered in midair.

"Hm!?"

Faced with Bonney's mockery, Gaban did not care too much.

Just as Shanks had not cared when mountain bandits poured wine over his head, for broad-minded people like them, a re empty reputation was not worth caring about.

What caught Gaban's attention was...

The pink energy that had suddenly surged from Bonney's body!

This energy was not as domineering as the Psychic power Bonney had used earlier, but it sohow made Gaban's heart grow alert.

Bonney suddenly shouted:

"Fairy Lock!!!"

In an instant, two chains condensed from Fairy power shot out from her hands.

One end of each chain wrapped around Bonney's wrists, firmly gripped by her.

At that mont, Bonney's gaze sank, and a sly look flashed through her eyes as she stared at Gaban.

"This ti, let's see how you run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bonney, who possessed Gaban's monstrous strength, swung the chains in her hands fiercely, smashing them toward Gaban with perfect accuracy.

Bang!!!

The chains, containing terrifying force, whipped through the air with an ear-piercing sonic wave. Like two agile serpents, they attacked Gaban one after another.

"If it's only this much, then you still won't catch !"

Having already adapted to Bonney's attack patterns, Gaban raised an eyebrow. He imdiately leaped, preparing to jump out of the chains' attack range.

But what Gaban had not expected was...

The mont his position changed, those two chains actually seed to possess wills of their own, swiftly pursuing him.

"What's going on?"

Gaban froze inwardly for a mont.

He had a premonition that if he were bound by these two chains, his part in today's show would probably end right there.

Although he did not care about empty reputations, being so easily defeated by a little girl in front of Shanks, his junior, would still make Gaban feel sowhat embarrassed.

He suddenly swung the twin axes in his hands, crossing them in front of himself, then flung them with force!

Although Bonney could not bring out his strength one hundred percent, Gaban could rely on his powerful combat techniques to bring Bonney's strength to a level beyond one hundred percent.

Two slashes comparable to those of elite Marine vice admirals suddenly flew from the blades of Gaban's axes, striking the two incoming chains with precision.

Under the force contained within the chains, the slashes were extinguished the mont they made contact.

Fortunately, however, Gaban's goal had already been achieved.

Affected by the slashes, the flight paths of the two chains abruptly changed, just barely crossing past Gaban's body.

"Phew."

"I can breathe easy now."

A gleam flashed through Gaban's eyes as his body fell freely downward.

But right then, his heart suddenly tightened.

Gaban hurriedly looked below him.

Only to see that, at so unknown point, two chains had suddenly erged from the ground beneath his feet and were winding toward his body.

"Ahahahaha~" little Bonney laughed mischievously like a child. "Who told you Fairy Lock had to be controlled with my body!?"

"This is a Pokémon move!"

"You fell for it, Uncle!!!"

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle...

The tender pink chains grabbed Gaban's ankles like cats that had slled fish, instantly rushing toward the rest of his body.

In the blink of an eye, they had wrapped around his ankles.

At the sa ti, the two Fairy Locks that had originally been knocked away abruptly turned back, directly restraining Gaban's arms and twin axes.

Snap~

Bonney casually tossed down the Fairy Locks wrapped around her wrists.

In an instant, Gaban's limbs were pulled apart by the power of the chains. His entire body was spread-eagled and suspended in midair by the strange Fairy Locks.

"Now you can't run anymore, Uncle!"

Little Bonney slowly flew in front of Gaban, and strength began gathering in her hand once more.

After finally obtaining such overwhelming power, if she did not get to punch him at least once, she might not even be able to sleep tonight!

This was also why, despite clearly having so many ways to punish Gaban, little Bonney had deliberately chosen Fairy Lock.

Looking at that small, delicate pink fist, if so ignorant lolicon were standing here instead, he might even smile and let Bonney pound him with it, enjoying it like a reward.

But Gaban, who knew exactly how terrifying that fist was, could not smile at all right now!

Boom!!!!

A horrifying force struck out.

This ti, with nowhere left to dodge, Gaban's body violently curled inward, as if he had been folded in half. Both of his eyeballs bulged outward fiercely, leaving him in an utterly miserable state.
