One Piece:The Lust System

Chapter 154: [153] Mysterious Legacy[3]



[2800 Words]

*Grrrrr~!*

*Splash~!*

The sea was boiling around them, like a ferocious beast trying to devour everything in its path.

The waves crashed violently, as if they were heralding an imminent disaster. But what truly instilled terror was what was emerging from the depths; gigantic black scales slowly rose to the surface, shedding massive chunks of water that splashed everywhere.

These scales opened and shifted, revealing a colossal creature rising from the depths of the sea.

The giant beast, which had been driven into the ocean during the last exchange, had returned

once more.

"It seems that the previous strike was a true wake-up call from a slumber that may have lasted centuries, doesn't it?" Ren observed the giant creature calmly, but in that moment, he knew this battle would be unlike any he had fought before.

"Human..." the beast growled, its voice understood only by Ren. Each of its steps was enough to shake the entire ocean. Its massive feet stomped the water, creating monstrous whirlpools, while its black, deeply lined scales glistened in the dim light.

It resembled a creature from ancient sea legends, lying dormant in the depths of the ocean for millennia, to the point where Ren felt even the sea itself was afraid of this being.

Ren floated several meters above the water's surface using Moonwalk, his eyes never leaving the massive beast that was beginning to move.

'I can't keep using Moonwalk like this forever in battle... it's draining my physical strength,' he thought internally. But he quickly refocused on the creature as it moved once again.

*Huff~!!*

The creature began to breathe deeply, slowly opening its enormous mouth before exhaling a dark breath.

It wasn't just a regular breath; it was a wave of dark energy that surged from its mouth, covering the entire sea. The energy was pitch-black, mixed with an unknown, electrifying power, like the unrelenting darkness of the night.

The waves surged violently, and the water started evaporating into the air from the intense heat radiating from the black breath laced with lightning!

*Woosh~!*

Ren, who had been observing closely, used Moonwalk to rise quickly, dodging the dark breath that was beginning to engulf the area.

*Bsssst~!* The scene looked as though volcanic lava had been hurled to the bottom of the sea, leaving behind a thick mist that swept through the region.

Even Kalifa, who watched from a distance aboard the floating Elsama, could only feel terror from this widespread attack!

"It literally evaporated the sea!" she whispered, her beautiful eyes searching for her captain. [Attack Image]

Even in mid-air, Ren could feel the immense pressure from the attack, as the breath distorted the path he was flying along.

The purple lightning cast its shadows across the sea, reaching even up to the sky, making it difficult for Ren to maintain control over his movements.

'If you want to play this way...' Ren thought to himself, his tone shifting to cold seriousness. His eyes locked on the beast, and his weapon, Versa, transformed into a sword.

He concentrated his seismic power into the tip of the blade and launched a massive seismic blast, cutting through the air toward the dark breath!

The goal was to stop the dark attack, but when the two attacks collided, a violent explosion occurred, causing the sea to surge wildly around them.

If any sailor or pirate had witnessed this scene, they would have described it as the day of judgment. They would return to their hometowns, babbling and telling stories no one would believe about what they saw that day.

*Boommm~!!*

*Hiss~!!*

The sea was turning into a catastrophic battleground.

The waves rose and fell as if the very earth itself was trembling from the force of the opposing attacks.

The sky was covered in clouds, the winds howling against the waves, while the beast raised its massive head above the surface of the sea. Those glowing eyes, which contained the fury burning within the creature, were fixed on Ren.

*Boom-!*

With another deafening sound, the savage lightning breath from the beast's mouth, which seemed like an endless abyss, finally ceased.

"The emission... Advanced Armament Haki is truly impressive, but I doubt your tough shell will break without internal destruction, Unfortunately, I haven't learned that yet..." Ren shook his head, then continued, "But my Quake Fruit can do that."

*Roar~!*

It seemed the beast was provoked again, letting out a deafening roar before charging once more in fury.

The beast stomped with its gigantic feet, causing the water to tremble horribly.

*Bam~!*

*Bam~!*

But Ren, who was flying high above the sea, was able to move quickly, evading any sudden attack.

However, the beast was smart and didn't rely solely on instinct.

As soon as Ren tried to retreat, the beast lunged with one of its enormous claws toward the sky, launching a massive attack that cut through the air at lightning speed.

*Tick~!*

*Tick~!*

"What speed...!" Ren muttered, amazed at the creature's rapid movements.

Ren took a deep breath, avoiding the giant claw that threatened to tear his body apart. Despite

the beast's ridiculous size, it didn't affect its speed in the slightest!

The winds howled as the deadly claw carved its way toward Ren, who chose to dodge the

attack and circle around it.

Although Ren was evading the massive claw strikes, the creature began a new tactic. Suddenly, the giant claws began to change.

They were no longer just huge pincers resembling claws, but had transformed into enormous iron arms. These arms were solid, powerful weapons capable of destroying anything in their

path.

The creature exploited its ability to change the shape of its limbs to extend the range of its attack, thrusting its arms forward with tremendous force, trying to reach the slippery Ren.

*Boom!!*

Ren, who was flying through the air, watched as the iron arms shot toward him faster than lightning. There was no time to retreat; every time he moved away, the beast pursued him

with its sharp arms.

"Let's see who will destroy the other's body!" A fierce battle grin formed on Ren's face as he enveloped his entire body in armament haki and took the giant claw head-on.

*Boom!!*

Ren felt his joints creak as the massive blow struck him.

When the giant claw hit directly, it felt as if an immense force had pierced his body

mercilessly. The impact was like a raging storm crashing into his being, sending violent waves through his muscles and nerves, causing his bones to tremble under the blow.

At the moment of impact, the air around him exploded with a deafening sound.

But the savage grin on his face didn't fade; it only grew.

He felt it, he felt his body growing stronger with each strike he faced!

In this world of the seas, there was no better way to become stronger and hone your body and

combat sense than through one thing: battle!

Ren couldn't retreat. He clenched his teeth and roared fiercely, then pushed the giant claw

back and sent it flying!

*Splash!*

The sight of a beast the size of an island crashing to the ground was truly spectacular, as the

water splashed into the sky and then fell again, as if it was raining.

*Roar!*

*Whoosh~!*

The beast angrily returned to the battlefield after regaining its balance.

Its massive arms moved with speed and fury, tearing through the air around it. With every movement, a tremendous energy surged from its body, to the point where the surrounding water began to react strangely.

The water started to gather around it, forming into a massive single mass, its density

increasing unnaturally!

Then, in a flash, the beast raised its arms in the air as if summoning supernatural forces.

The water around it surged, transforming into towering waves that rapidly grew in height before charging toward Ren like a gigantic tsunami!

The waves crashed and struck everything in their path with immense force, as if an

unstoppable destructive force was unleashed.

The sound of the crashing water grew louder with each second, resembling the roar of a tidal

earthquake that threatened to engulf everything in its way.

[Attack Image]

Ren felt the pressure of the water as it rushed toward him with astonishing speed, but he

didn't panic.

He took a deep breath, returned his sword to its sheath, then clenched his fist and focused on

the massive tsunami charging toward him.

"Haaah!"

*Crack~!*

*Crash~!*

*Shatter-!*

The insane tsunami collided with Ren's seismic power, shaking the sea and destroying the already shattered scene even further. The charged water was "broken" into several weaker

strands.

Not even the tsunami could stand against the power of the Earthquake Fruit!

The collision created a massive vortex under the surface of the sea, but its power was stronger

than anything. The waves receded due to the mighty earthquake, while the beast's scales

began to crack under the pressure of the attack!

The glowing eyes of the beast widened, and it seemed to retreat. But despite the devastating

attack, the beast continued to resist, trying to protect its body.

*Crack-! Crunch~!*

The earthquake's power overwhelmed the tsunami created by the giant crab, even injuring the

beast's body and striking its tough defenses.

While the beast tried to hold its ground, it let out a pained and reluctant roar.

Its scales were cracking under the massive earthquake that struck its body, as if its body was

being torn apart from the inside. Small pieces of its body scattered in the air, but instead of collapsing, the beast grew more defiant.

Its roar echoed across the horizon, reflecting accumulated rage and an invincible hatred. "You... intruding humans... this is a violation of the treaty with Nika! Raaawr!"

The beast screamed angrily, its body growing larger, reinforcing its defenses as if it were

resisting total collapse.

Of course, only Ren could understand it, while Kalifa only heard the roar and the strange, pained sound coming from the beast's gaping mouth.

"Rehahahaha, Nika, huh?" Ren laughed viciously and increased the force of his seismic punch, striking the massive beast's body.

The beast was not ready to retreat and tried to stab Ren with its claws that had returned to

their original form, but a single punch from Ren's other unrestrained hand was enough to

block the attack.

*Roar!*

"Nooooo! Damn human!!"

Ren ignored the crab's curses, as its defenses had weakened over time, and executed his

decisive move.

"Hooof..."

There was no time for hesitation. He took a deep breath before raising his sword with one

hand and unleashed a crazy barrage of armament haki toward the beast!

•

"Death Blade."

.

*Whooooosh!!*

*Whizz!!*

Black and purple lightning appeared out of nowhere as Ren's royal haki exploded.

The sword in his hand trembled with excitement as if it were a living being. Ren's armament

haki exploded from the sword, merging with the pure energy of the blade to create a hellish impact that summoned lightning bolts, all of them charged directly at the beast, whose eyes had turned red with rage and madness!

[Attack Image]

*Zzzzzzz~!!!*

The air itself was split by the sharpness of the blade that ignited with a deadly glow as it

rushed toward the exhausted giant beast's body, which showed no concern for the brutal attack heading toward it, intending to tear it apart and cut it in two!

*Roar!!*

"!!!"

The crab roared as the lightning approached, but there was no escape. The sword was on a

direct path toward its body.

The lightning struck its body at the same moment, tearing through the air around it as if the

sea itself were splitting from the force of the attack. The lightning was powerful enough to shake everything around it.

The blade descended with unimaginable force, and its energy surged through the beast's body. The strike was the strongest Ren had ever dealt in his life!

The black and purple lightning tore through its massive body, causing blood to spill

everywhere, turning the blue seawater into a blood-red hue! The attack ripped through its internal tissues.

*Zzzzzzz~!!!* The sound was deafening, as the energy of the attack exploded around the

beast, causing it to stagger heavily and roar in pain. But despite all that, it still resisted. Its roar filled the air, but its strength was diminishing over time.

As it tried to hold on, there was no hope for survival. Its body was completely exhausted. Its defenses were failing, and to make matters worse, Ren unleashed more energy blades! Though not as strong as the first one, they were still powerful enough to pierce through the

crab's weakened defenses!

The crab began losing its balance, its muscles slackened, and its sharp angles became slow

and imprecise. It was doubtful whether it could continue fighting.

With every movement, the wound in its body grew. It could not withstand the continuous

force of Ren's attacks.

The armament haki flowed through the sword and into its giant body, destroying everything

in its path!

Ren showed no mercy, continuing to unleash attack after attack, despite the tremendous physical strain! Even after all of this, the crab still resisted. Its eyes glowed with anger, but it was losing the

ability to fight back. The armor that protected it began to crack, and its body slowly started to

collapse. The beast tried to strike again, but with every step, its power continued to wane. It tried to use its claws, but its muscles were giving out, and each strike became weaker. Another energy blade collided with the beast's massive body. This time, the strike was even

stronger, and the power of the haki merged with the lightning, causing a massive explosion.

*Clang!*

*Boom!*

In the moment of the explosion, the armament haki surged onto the giant crab, and lightning

struck its body with immense force, shredding its tissues and internal organs. The strike was

more powerful than anything the beast had ever experienced.

*Roar!!*

The beast roared with reluctance and immense frustration, but Ren didn't really care. He had

now returned to flying in the air using Moonwalk and stared at the beast with a cold smile

while gasping for breath.

He took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in his body.

•

.

"Hell Eyes."

This ability appeared again as burning rays shot out from Ren's eye sockets, directly aimed at

the massive beast's body, which was now an easy target.

The flames danced around the giant crab's body, and the laser-like rays painted a burning

masterpiece on its body, incinerating many of its hard scales in just a few seconds! Along with the previous attacks and the seismic strike that was still wreaking havoc on the

beast's body, a drastic change finally occurred.

"Gaaaagh!!"

The last word came from the crab's mouth before it collapsed into the sea. Its body was

completely wrecked and fell slowly to the ground, shattered and disfigured as steam rose

from the burned wounds on its body.

The "Death Blade," along with "Hell Eyes," had almost cut the beast in half. There was no

resistance left; Ren's power was too much for the beast to withstand.

As the crab fell, the battle had come to an end. Ren stood atop its massive body, which wasn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

about to sink forever to the ocean's depths, watching its fall. "Pant... pant... that was a good fight...", He smiled, then a blue beam enveloped the beast's

body and disappeared, as if it had never been there. It was stored in The Infinity Space as if

nothing had happened.

"Captain~!" Kalifa shouted, appearing beside Ren and hugging him before she moved back to Elsama, which was still floating.

"Are you alright, Captain?" The blonde asked with a concerned expression. He looked at her with a playful smile and ruffled her hair. "Do you see any injuries on me?" He wasn't injured

directly, even his clothes were still clean-or rather, they were being cleaned and repaired naturally... But the truth was, he was a bit exhausted.

He hadn't fought such an intense battle before. While it might have seemed like an easy

victory, it really wasn't. The truth was, the beast wasn't clever enough to counter his combat

tactics.

"Anyway, Kalifa, let's head back to Sky Bloom Island... It seems something is going on there." He looked at his secretary, who quickly nodded before returning to her usual cold demeanor.

Elsama began flying at full speed toward Sky Bloom Island, where an intriguing battle was unfolding.
