"Buzz!!"

Before Chinjao's Buto and Arthur's Lightning Flash Fist could collide, the air between them seemed to buckle under immense pressure, humming ominously.

Waves of energy rippled outwards in all directions. The nearby Happo Navy sailors felt a surge of blood pressure, their faces turning red, their ears ringing.

The next moment, they fainted.

Those with astonishing endurance abandoned their fallen comrades and retreated further away.

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

An earth-shattering explosion.

The air between the two was forcibly detonated by the Buto and the Lightning Flash Fist. The sailors who hadn't retreated in time had their eardrums burst from the sound.

Arthur, due to his position, didn't gain any advantage.

He was sent flying back dozens of yards by the Buto, his legs plowing deep furrows in the earth like iron blades.

"Impressive!"

Arthur's expression was slightly grim.

He shook his numb fist, his form flickering with electricity as he instantly elementalized into lightning, teleporting closer, hovering in the air.

<"Lightning Spear!!">

Blue currents formed into a spear, piercing straight towards the sky—the sharp point tearing through the air.

"Don't think you're invincible just because you have a Logia Devil Fruit, kid! I've seen too many with abilities like yours in the New World!"

Facing the Lightning Spear—Chinjao roared.

His massive body, without dodging or evading, began to spin rapidly in place.

Arthur could sense that Chinjao's spinning had drawn in all the surrounding air currents, forming a protective layer. The compressed air currents formed a razor-sharp whirlwind.

<"Hasshoken – Buto Kaiten (Martial Head Spin)">

Chinjao spun like a top, with his single supporting foot as the axis—whipping up a powerful gale.

The solidified Lightning Spear struck the whirlwind, and the two forces, incredibly, canceled each other out.

<"One Hundred Million Volts – Thunder Dragon!">

"ROARRRRRRRR!!"

Electric light erupted from Arthur's body.

From his chest emerged a ferocious dragon's head—followed by the body, claws, and tail, taking shape in the air.

The coiled Thunder Dragon seemed to have come to life. Its eyes locked onto Chinjao, and it charged downwards with an unstoppable momentum.

"Zzzzzzt!"

The sound of flashing lightning and thunder was deafening, the light intense, engulfing the entire battlefield. The watching Happo Navy and the awakened Don Cai were forced to close their eyes to avoid being blinded by the light.

"Isn't that enough?" Arthur's Observation Haki kept a close watch on Chinjao, surrounded by the Thunder Dragon, sensing that he hadn't lost his fighting ability.

<"One Hundred Million Volts – Kirin!">

A lifelike Kirin emerged from the lightning, pawing the air, flicking its lightning tail, and arrogantly charging towards Chinjao!

With these two moves as cover, Arthur, hovering in mid-air, quickly began preparations for a third move.

<"Electromagnetism – Iron Sand!">

He opened his hands—controlling the lightning to draw iron sand from the ground.

Tiny particles of iron sand gradually gathered in his palm—growing larger and larger, until it became a solid iron ball about the size of a baby's head.

Arthur flew higher, establishing a magnetic track—aiming at Chinjao, and then using magnetism as propulsion.

<"Super Electromagnetic Railgun!!!">

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!"

The deafening roar of the iron ball, propelled to its limit by magnetic force, was deafening. The ball was almost instantly heated red-hot by the friction, slowly vaporizing.

With the one hundred million volt Thunder Dragon and Thunder Kirin as cover—the Super Electromagnetic Railgun could be launched unexpectedly.

This was also the reason why Arthur rarely used this move in front of others.

Because with preparation—Observation Haki could lock onto Arthur's movements, allowing for easy prediction and evasion.

The launched red-hot iron ball had reached the limit of speed achievable under normal atmospheric pressure. It could be said that besides light, electricity, and space-based abilities, its speed was unmatched in the world!

"I haven't avenged myself against that damn Garp yet!" Chinjao's face was like a demon's. His graying whiskers stood on end.

This Super Electromagnetic Railgun reminded him of Garp's fist, which had flattened his pointed head six years ago.

Both were equally invincible and domineering.

The Super Electromagnetic Railgun—if Arthur hadn't held back, could likely pierce through most pirates with bounties under one or two hundred million.

Chinjao felt immense urgency, his pupils contracting violently.

He seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by Garp back then.

——

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Chinjao suddenly roared in anger, his massive body displaying incredible flexibility.

"Whoosh!!"

He retreated explosively, leaping into the air to a height of hundreds of yards.

At this moment—his speed surpassed his original physical limit. In an instant, he and Arthur formed a standoff, one high, one low.

"Zzzzzzt!"

Although he had dodged the Super Electromagnetic Railgun—the Thunder Dragon and Thunder Kirin were unavoidable—striking him and burning the dark green cape with the Happo Navy inscription to ashes.

The protective airflow formed by the Hasshoken's secret move struggled to block the rampant lightning on his body.

Chinjao let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time—his eyes looked at Arthur with incomparable rage.

"Even under these circumstances, he dodged? As expected of a pirate who roamed the New World. He shouldn't be underestimated!" Arthur wasn't disappointed. Instead, his eyes lit up.

Chinjao was panting.

His bald head was instantly covered in black Armament Haki. The bulging veins on his stout, bare body highlighted his scars. Chinjao, defying gravity in mid-air, spun his body again.

<"Armament – Hardening!!">

<"Hasshoken Secret Move – Drill-less Dragon; Drill-less Nail!!!">

With a deep roar—Chinjao poured all his strength into the single point of his forehead, carrying the momentum of a bursting dam as he charged towards Arthur, who was gradually descending.

This Hasshoken secret move could crush a target with a single blow. If it hit Arthur, and if Arthur didn't defend, his entire body might be completely shattered.

"Whoosh!!"

A strong wind pressed down from the sky!

"Hahahaha! This move is—exhilarating." Arthur laughed heartily. His right arm was completely enveloped in electromagnetic force.

<"Electromagnetism!!">

He amplified the attraction to its maximum, causing all the metal in the vicinity of the battlefield to stir.

The weapons in the hands of the observing Happo Navy were no longer under their control. They were all drawn to Arthur's right arm.

A massive, black arm made entirely of steel took shape!
