Chapter 813: I've known this since I was a kid
...
Red Earth Continent
Two figures stood proudly in a vast wilderness.
Huangmu patted the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Hehehe, I thought there would be a welcome banquet for me today, but I didn't expect that on my first day on the job I would have to fight with the Navy's top commander! How interesting!"
“Tsk~!”
Ajin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and then stomped it out.
"It's okay if you want to drink, but you should fight first. Now we can start!"
"Wait, Marshal Jin, I have a question that I need to ask before the fight officially begins."
Huang Mu took off his sunglasses and wiped them on his pants, with the corners of his mouth raised to reveal a somewhat rebellious expression.
"Although this may be misunderstood as a provocation, I am still a little worried. What if I win by accident? Marshal, you will not be angry and target me more in the future, right? Hahaha!"
Huang Mu became more and more excited as he spoke, and green light began to emerge from his body. He walked forward, and with every step he took, countless flowers and plants would spring out of the lifeless rocky ground beneath his feet like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
"Wow? Is this the ability of the Nature-type Sen Sen Fruit?"
Seeing this scene, Ajin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked very interested.
"It's an interesting ability. No one can match it when it comes to landscaping! But today we're competing in combat, so you don't have to worry about what to do if you accidentally win. To borrow the words of an old man: You want to defeat me? You're a hundred years too early!"
"Doing greening? Hey, hey! Stop kidding! There should be a limit to how much you can look down on others!"
Huangmu put away his smile and said seriously.
"Today I will let you see the power of the Mori Mori Fruit!"
"Let's get started! Don't waste time!"
Ajin waved his hand and urged.
"Congratulations!"
Huang Mu roared and clapped his hands hard. Countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground and coiled towards Ajin like giant pythons!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Facing the vines whistling in the air, Ajin neither dodged nor evaded. He just raised his hand lightly, and a spherical barrier made of lightning appeared in front of him.
"boom!"
“Sizzle! Sizzle!”
Vines came from all directions, surrounding the target and preparing to wrap it up in a deathly coil, but in the blink of an eye they turned into ashes in a flash of lightning!
"I see. Creating plants to attack? Interesting... but not much."
Ajin calmly bent down, picked up a piece of burnt charcoal from the ground, gently crushed it with his thumb and index finger, observed it for a while, turned to look at Huangmu and smiled.
"Unfortunately, this move doesn't seem to have any effect on me."
"Damn it! It's not over yet! Watch out!"
Huang Mu didn't believe it, he roared again and pressed his hands hard on the ground!
"Wood porcupine!"
"Tiantantantan!"
The plants that had been lurking at Ajin's feet suddenly grew rapidly and turned into sharp thorns that emerged from the ground and shot out like a dense rain of arrows.
Ajin still looked calm.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!"
The wooden thorns pierced the barrier like sharp spears! Unfortunately, there was no surprise. Even the wooden thorns, which were several times harder than the vines, turned into ashes without exception after being exposed to the blue-white electric current!
"Zizzizi!"
"Nani! Hey, is this... true or false?"
Huang Mu widened his eyes, deeply shocked by the horrific destructive power displayed by the thunder.
"Hehe, you are indeed recognized as the man with the strongest natural element! It seems that if I don't use my full strength, I will lose very quickly!"
"bring it on!!"
Huang Mu clenched his fists and began to accumulate strength. Wood texture appeared on his naked upper body and quickly expanded. The entire ground beneath his feet also shook and cracked!
"Forbidden hatred!"
"Crack! Click!"
One after another, huge trees crushed the rocks, broke out of the ground, grew wildly, and rushed straight into the sky! Under the guidance of the green light spots like countless fireflies, the giant trees began to consciously move in one direction, and finally attached to and merged into Huang Mu's body, making his size continue to grow! In a short while, he had turned into a huge tree man hundreds of meters tall!
"Wow? You can quickly turn a lush forest into something as barren and rocky as this? You're pretty capable!"
Ajin couldn't help but praise him, thinking that it was a pity that this guy was wooed by the World Government. If he had been discovered by the captain earlier, he would definitely be in a position that suits him better now, contributing to the development and progress of all mankind.
"Boom!"
When Huang Mu moved a little, the earth shook. He looked down at A Jin, who was only the size of an ant, and smiled.
“Marshal Jin, aren’t you going to attack? An hour will pass very quickly! Hahahaha!”
Although there was a huge difference in size between the two sides at this time, Huang Mu still did not dare to be careless, but instead took the initiative to adopt a defensive posture.
I was too reckless before. If the opponent is the man in front of me, it would be safer to choose to hold on for an hour, Huang Mu thought to himself.
"Then I'll do it!"
"Whoosh!"
Ajin didn't waste any words. His body turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot in an instant.
"So fast!"
Huangmu turned his huge head, looked left and right, and hurriedly looked for the other person.
"Whoosh!"
When Ajin appeared again, he was already suspended in the air in front of the tree giant.
"I found you! Go to hell!"
Huang Mu swung out his fists as big as warships. The huge fists pushed away the air and brought circles of terrifying air waves.
"boom!"
The left and right fists collided and fiercely sandwiched Ajin! The huge sound even reached the Sabaody Archipelago under the Red Earth Continent.
“Hmph! Hmph!”
Before Huang Mu could be happy, he saw a ray of white lightning shooting out from the gap in his fist!
"Crack! Click!"
The violent electric current was like a lightsaber, spinning rapidly around and cutting off the tree giant's arms neatly at the wrists at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!
"Boom!"
A pair of fists weighing thousands of tons slammed to the ground, creating a large hole in the ground.
Ajin's figure reappeared, and in his hand there appeared a spear made of lightning. He looked up at the expression on the tree giant's face and talked to himself.
"Is it the type where the main body hides inside and controls it?"
I still remember the captain once said that there are basically two ways to use the power of the devil fruit to grow in size: the main body becoming giant and turning on Gundam mode. The easiest way to distinguish them is to just give him a random cut and see if he screams in pain.
So he has been able to solve this problem since he was young.
