Just a few minutes earlier,
"Man... it’s farther than I expected~"
Orin exhaled a breath of white mist. Even with his current physical condition, he was already completely unaffected by temperature, but a vast expanse of white—fine at first glance—did start to cause aesthetic fatigue after a while.
"Teleporting really is more convenient."
Under Kuina’s puzzled gaze, Orin lightly snapped his fingers, and the scenery around them began to shift rapidly.
They arrived inside a laboratory.
Orin wasn’t constantly keeping Future Sight active, because with his current strong fighter’s intuition, plus the passive power of the three types of Haki, it was nearly impossible for him to be hit by those rule-based Paracia Devil Fruit abilities.
So the instant he appeared in the research facility, he had already sensed that he was inside the ROOM space of the Op-Op Fruit, and that a strange force was coming toward him.
In just a fraction of a second of thought, Orin understood the situation, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Plop—"
"Plop—"
As the Op-Op Fruit’s power activated with rapid taps of the blade tip, Law subconsciously clenched his hand, and their consciousnesses began to swap bodies.
Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the two figures.
Sanji and the others, who had been running, hurriedly stopped in their tracks.
Then they quickly realized that their bodies had been exchanged.
"I... I turned into Nami-san!!!"
"Pfft—"
Nami, whose body now belonged to Sanji, sprayed a fountain of nosebleed high into the air.
Everyone was shocked by their changes, while Law’s face instantly turned pale. Kikoku slipped from his hand as he staggered back several steps.
Staring at Orin—who had suddenly appeared and then been body-swapped—Law broke out in a cold sweat.
"Orin-san!!!"
You’ve got to be kidding ?!!!
He looked down at his own hands.
He had actually swapped Orin—
Hearing that shout, Sanji and the others snapped out of their shock over the body exchange.
That na cast too large a shadow over them.
"Father???"
"Where is he?!"
"Nami" called out, turning her head toward the two suddenly appeared figures, her face lighting up with joy.
"Is it Father?!"
The others were also uncertain, frozen in place by the weight of that legendary na.
"Nami" walked forward, but seeing Law’s strange expression in the distance, and Orin and Kuina standing there as if stunned, a bad feeling rose in her heart.
"What’s going on..."
At that mont, "Kuina" slowly opened her eyes and clenched her fist.
"A body swap, huh? Interesting..."
On the other side, "Orin" seed unable to process what was happening, standing there in a daze.
"Huh? I... I turned into a man..."
Hearing this, "Nami" froze.
"Father, could it be that you also..."
"Are you... Sanji?"
"Nami" walked forward in a daze, staring in disbelief at the playful-faced "Kuina."
"How could you have been affected too?"
Sanji couldn’t believe it. Though Orin had made the Straw Hat crew experience plenty of despair, he was still Sanji’s adoptive father—and in the end, he hadn’t wiped them out completely.
Orin was still his father in his heart.
But soone so invincible and perfect—how could he possibly be hit?
"Well... I guess I was careless for a mont~"
"Kuina" wore Orin’s uniquely steady expression, with a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.
Even after having his body swapped, he remained completely unflustered.
A calm, uneventful life had finally rippled slightly. Orin treated it as a brief novelty.
After all, honestly speaking,
Who wouldn’t be curious, given the chance, what it feels like for one’s soul to briefly switch into a beautiful woman’s body?
And what about Kuina?
Once she realized this was Orin’s body, she didn’t show the slightest girlish reaction.
Instead, she clenched her fist in disbelief, her heart surging wildly, excitent reaching its peak.
What kind of body was this...?
At this mont, she even felt as if she could destroy the entire world with a single punch. That sensation of holding heaven and earth in her grasp was like being a true god.
No wonder Father had once said—
A woman could never surpass a man in swordsmanship.
Kuina subconsciously tightened her fist, staring at it with curiosity as jet-black power began to pour out.
"Crack crack crack—"
Space itself began to shatter. The entire laboratory—no, all of Punk Hazard—started to tremble.
Even Luffy and the others far away on the ice half of the island were thrown into chaos by the sudden earthquake.
Deep crimson Ryuo Armant Haki at its absolute peak, spatial distortion, world-class monstrous strength—countless powers surged within that single fist.
Punk Hazard, along with the surrounding sea, began to quake violently.
The Straw Hat crew, Law, and the Marines led by Smoker were all so shocked by this natural-disaster-like scene that their pupils shrank violently as they grabbed onto nearby objects to steady themselves.
Kuina’s entire worldview began to twist.
How could a human be this strong? Is this a god?!!!
Orin stood firmly in place, staring at his own body. He was montarily stunned by the power being released, secretly shaking his head.
This was still far from it—the most crucial Conqueror’s Haki Infusion hadn’t even been used yet.
But this was already the limit.
Unlike Observation Haki, Armant Haki, or Devil Fruit abilities, Conqueror’s Haki required the synergy of spirit and body, using will and soul as its primary vessel.
Even after swapping bodies, it couldn’t be used.
"Enough playing around. Let’s go."
"Kuina" carried Wado Ichimonji and headed toward the door. Orin wanted to test the limits of this body.
Kuina was very obedient. She had already been completely conquered by Orin’s strength and hurriedly followed after him.
Law naturally saw it too—"Kuina" was walking toward him now, sweat pouring down his face.
"Orin-san, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Law, you’ve really grown so guts."
Slowly drawing Wado Ichimonji from his waist, "Kuina" wore a faint smile.
"This isn’t sothing a simple apology can settle."
"Orin," under "Kuina’s" command, obediently stood off to the side.
"Watch carefully—the power this body can bring out."
The real Kuina nodded, her eyes extrely serious. She also felt that her own body, under Orin’s control, was unbelievably cool.
Draped in a black cloak, "Kuina" stepped up before Law and the Marines—Smoker and Tashigi included—and slowly drew Wado Ichimonji.
"Let see the limits of this body."
