Chapter 212: [Cloud Fist - Torrential Rain]
Just as Dick was deep in thought, a soft voice sounded in his ear. The voice startled him at first, then his gaze instantly burned with intensity, but it dimmed after a moment, and he gently shook his head.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Mu Chong sensed Dick's change in mood and a faint smile appeared on his face.
From the moment Mu Chong saw Dick, he wanted to invite him aboard the ship, but what happened at the banquet made him temporarily suppress his thoughts.
"Hehehe! Wait a bit longer! It's not the right time yet!"
boom!
Meanwhile, on the ice ahead of the Liberty, Slade, who had already confronted Charlotte Owen, was looking at his exasperated opponent with a wicked grin.
"Hey! Get Haoxia Mu down here right now! This is Mother's personal invitation. How dare you, a mere navigator, not face her?"
Charlotte Owen pointed at Slard, a hint of anger flickering in her eyes.
"Oh my! In person? Charlotte Owen, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about 'in person'? I've said it many times already, if you want to see my captain, let Big Mom come in person!"
Slad tossed his dreadlocks aside, a look of utter disbelief on his face as he slowly began to speak.
"Hmph! You damned bastard! How dare you call my name like that! Since the hero Mu can't get out, I'll capture his crew and see how long he can hold out!"
hum!
Charlotte Owen was thoroughly enraged by Slard; as he spoke, his body began to flush red, and waves of heat emanated from him.
"Hahaha! Just what I wanted! Come on, Charlotte Owen, let me see just how powerful Big Mom's son really is!"
Swish!
Slard's eyes gleamed as he saw Charlotte Owen, whose skin had turned a deep red. As he spoke, his arms began to materialize, and wisps of white clouds appeared.
"Hmm? Is this all you can do? But! It's useless! In the face of such high temperatures, everything will turn into a shockwave!"
boom!
Seeing that the time was right, Charlotte Owen slammed her foot into the ice, the immense force sending countless ice shards flying, before she shot towards Slard.
laugh!
Because of Charlotte Owen's flushed body, every step he took left a deep footprint on the ice.
"Heat Wave Fist - Shockwave!"
Before he even arrived, Charlotte Owen's voice preceded his arrival. He swung his red-hot fist, and a surge of heat tore through the air towards the ready Slade.
"Cloud Shield!"
Just as Charlotte Owen's shockwave was about to hit Slard, a massive white shield blocked it.
boom!
laugh!
The scorching shockwave emitted white gas upon contact with the cloud shield, and Slad felt the shield in his hand rapidly heating up.
"Hmm? Is this the ability the captain was talking about to influence other objects?"
Slad felt the warmth from his hand, his expression froze, and he muttered to himself.
"Hahaha! What's wrong, you bastard? Did my shockwave knock you out?"
boom!
Just as Slard was pondering, a surge of heat swept over them, followed by Charlotte Owen's gruff voice.
"Hot Wind Fist!"
Charlotte Owen's voice had barely faded when a scorching fist appeared before Slard.
"Hahaha! How could your weak attacks possibly hurt me?"
Slad's Observation Haki had already sensed Charlotte Owen charging towards him. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he unleashed a barrage of punches coated in Armament Haki.
"You can't use Armament Haki!!"
Just as Slard habitually swung his fist, which was enveloped in Armament Haki, Mu Chong's instructions suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Damn it! I forgot!"
boom!
laugh!
Remembering his instructions, Slad instinctively withdrew the Armament Haki from his fist. Charlotte Oven's scorching heat directly burned Slad's fist.
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
The intense pain caused Slad to instantly pull his fist back, frantically shaking it. His hand was visibly red and steaming.
"Hahaha! What a weakling! Call your captain out here, you bastard! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to make you lie down!"
Charlotte Owen, seeing Slard injured by his punch, immediately wore a smug expression, pointed at Slard, and shouted.
"Hmph! Damn it!"
boom!
Slade swung his right hand violently, then clenched it into a fist again, cursed loudly, and propelled himself forward towards Charlotte Owen.
"Cloud Fist - Torrential Rain!"
As Slard's voice rang out, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit power activated, and white clouds continuously surged from his two fists, then rapidly expanded and compressed.
The next second, Slard swiftly and relentlessly swung his fists at Charlotte Owen! In an instant, fists compressed from clouds attacked Charlotte Owen.
"Hmph! A mere trick!"
Charlotte Owen saw a barrage of white fists hurtling towards him, but he only paused for a moment before quickly raising his own fists and crossing them in front of him to block.
At the same time, Charlotte Owen frantically activated the power of the Heat-Heat Fruit, and layers of scorching air enveloped his body.
boom!boom!boom! ...
*Swoosh! Swoosh!* ...
Every time Slater's cloud fist flew out, it made a hissing sound upon contact with the heat shield created by Charlotte Owen. As the cloud fist disappeared, wisps of heat slowly rose into the air.
"Hmm? It evaporated? Looks like the compression wasn't enough. Hahaha! Let's try again!"
Slad frowned slightly as he saw his attack being neutralized. A thought flashed through his mind, then he laughed and charged forward again.
The Cloud-Cloud Fruit power activated again, and white clouds instantly enveloped Slard's two fists. But this time, Slard didn't throw a punch directly; instead, he moved closer to Charlotte Owen.
"Cloud Fist - Combo!"
Without saying a word, Slard threw the weapon directly at Charlotte Owen's face.
Faced with Slard's close-range attack, Charlotte Owen's eyes lit up, and she raised her red-hot fist to meet Slard's white fist.
boom! boom! boom!
Two fists clashed repeatedly in front of them, the aftershocks of their impact radiating outwards, and plumes of heat rising from the point of contact.
"Hmph! Bastard! Let's see how long you can last!"
In the midst of the collision, Charlotte Owen raised the temperature of his body once more, unleashing a relentless, scorching punch at Slade.
"Not enough! Not enough! This is definitely not the limit of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's compression!"
boom!
At this moment, Slade felt the continuous heat waves emanating from his fists, his brows furrowed, and he frantically activated the power of his Cloud-Cloud Fruit, attacking Charlotte Owen while simultaneously intensifying the compression of his cloud-like abilities.
boom!
boom!
Slard kept altering the cloud's hardness, and as time went on, Charlotte Owen increasingly sensed something was wrong.
"Huh? What's going on?"
The temperature that had initially been able to evaporate Slard's clouds was becoming increasingly ineffective, and Charlotte Owen herself even felt pain in her fist.
"Hahaha! This battle is getting more and more interesting! Hey, Charlotte Owen, don't fall down too early! Otherwise, I won't be satisfied!"
boom!
Slard knocked Charlotte Owen back with a single punch, then raised his two fists, which were enveloped in clouds, a smile immediately appearing on his face as he nodded in satisfaction.
"Damn it! Unforgivable! They're using me to train my Devil Fruit abilities?! You bastard! How dare you?"
