Chapter 186: Not Difficult Enough



Chapter 186: Not Difficult Enough

While Magnus fights against Ronse, Palu fights another giant Rear Admiral, Lacroix. The giant uses a gigantic saber as a weapon while Palu still uses his usual Warhammer. This fight is very difficult for Palu because his enemy is just too big & tall.

'Damn, I can't find a way to make a lethal attack because he is too tall. Luckily his attacks are too slow for me so I can dodge them. I can't take his attacks recklessly, especially a swing from above. The ground isn't strong enough to hold it. Even if I can't stop it, the ground won't, and I will get buried. But I can't keep dodging, I need to attack too or this battle won't end,' thinks Palu.

Palu has spar against Magnus a few times, but he still has a hard time attacking a giant opponent. He can't just jump to attack because that will make him vulnerable. Lacroix can attack him while he jumps and he won't be able to dodge in the air.

'Just what should I do? I can only attack his feet but that won't be lethal. Hmm? Feet?' ponders Palu in his mind as he dodges a vertical attack from Lacroix.

He grins and says, "This will do."

"What are you grinning about, Winged Man? Stop dodging and fight me seriously then get defeated. It seems your 210 Million bounty isn't that big of a deal," says Lacroix.

"We have just started, so don't conclude it too fast. You will be ashamed if things don't work for you," says Palu as he blackened his Warhammer with Armament.

"Armament Haki?! So it's true that your crew's higher-ups are haki users," says Lacroix.

"Of course, we are. We've shown it many times yet you don't believe it. Don't you trust Marine's intelligence?" asks Palu while grinning.

"I believe it, but it's better to see it myself. Still, just because you can use Haki, doesn't mean you can win this fight," says Lacroix as he swings his saber from his left.

Palu smirks and gets into stance, "As I said, don't conclude it too fast."

As Lacroix's saber gets in front of him, Palu swings his Warhammer to counter it. "Hasshoken Secret Technique: Nailing Earth!"

*CLANG*

The Warhammer hits the saber and ripples appear between them. Lacroix knows that Palu can use Hasshoken from Marine's intelligence, but he doesn't know that it's this strong. Palu has stopped his saber instantly.

The giant gets even more surprised when his saber starts to crack. He hasn't been able to use Armament Haki, so he can't harden his saber. Even so, his sword is made of strong materials and won't get damaged that easily.

*CRACK CRACK CRASH* Half of the giant saber finally crumble because of Hasshoken's vibration. Lacroix widens his eyes as he looks at his broken weapon.

"Surprised? I have more surprise for you," says Palu who has moved beside Lacroix's left foot, on the outer side.

Again, Lacroix widens his eyes as Palu swings his Warhammer to his ankle.

"Hasshoken: Ankle Breaker!"

Palu made up the name just now, it's an improvisation to match what he does. Lacroix wants to dodge, but he is too late, and he can't move that fast anyway because of his massive size.

The Warhammer hits Lacroix's left ankle and vibration ripples appear again. It is not as strong as the previous Hasshoken, but it is still strong. At least it is strong enough to crack Lacroix's ankle and the nearby bones.

"ARGH!" screams Lacroix in pain as his ankle gets destroyed.

But, not only does his ankle gets destroyed, but his left foot also gets flung to his right foot. His left foot hits his right foot and he lost his balance. Lacroix fall to the left and Palu has waited for it.

"It's over, giant!" says Palu, sure of his win.

But Lacroix doesn't think the same as he moves his broken saber to attack Palu. His broken ankle is very painful, but as a Marine, he is used to pain, and this pain won't stop him easily.

*BOOM*

The broken saber hits where Palu stands and cracks the ground because it also has Lacroix's weight added into the attack. Dust covers the area as Lacroix body finally fall to the ground

"Did that work?" ponders Lacroix as he holds his pain.

"You sure are tough, Rear Admiral. But that is not enough," says Palu who stands right in front of Lacroix's chest.

Palu has dodged the saber in the nick of time and he dodged it by a small margin. Ha almost put his guard down and got hit because of his carelessness. Luckily he keeps his Observation Haki active and sees the last attack.

"It's really over now, giant. See you in the future. Hasshoken Original: Mountain Crusher!" says Palu as he swings his blackened Warhammer to Lacroix's chest.

"DAMN!" curses Lacroix as Palu's attack hits him.

*BAM*

The attack creates ripples again and Lacroix's chest caved in. He spits some blood as his body gets flung back as if he isn't that heavy. Lacroix crashes on the ground and rolls before he stops right on the beach, unconscious.

"Damn, I thought I wouldn't make it," says Palu in relief as he looks at his trembling hands.

He has won, but not without consequence. Taking Lacroix's attack was very hard because the giant is very strong, so it strained his arms. That last attack also strained his arms further because the giant is very heavy and he needed to use all his power. But at least, he has won.

Meanwhile, on Black Pearl, Enel is still trying to attack the Marine ships with his lightning. His attacks have reached 3 km distance but it's not enough. It makes him frustrated because he is starting to get tired now.

Jude is watching him while defending the ship from some Marine soldiers who sneaked onto their ship to attack her & Enel. They get onto the ship sneakily, but Jude detected them easily with her Observation Haki.

Her Observation Haki is quite strong and she can cover the whole ship easily. She always focuses on improving her Observation Haki, after all. Fighting is not something that she likes so she prefers Observation Haki over Armament Haki which she still can't use until now.

When these soldiers sneaked in, Jude caught them with her ash and encased them with it. She tightened her ash encasement so they couldn't move. Then she just waited until they couldn't breathe and lost consciousness. After that, she just threw them to the battlefield.

"Enel, hurry up and hit them! The war has almost finished," says Jude.

"What?!" says Enel in surprise.

Enel looks at the battlefield and they have defeated more than two-thirds of the Marine soldiers. With Manba there, the injured pirates can get healed rather fast and join the battle again. Cricket & the other executives also dominated the war and defeated a lot of enemies.

"Damn, they aren't allowed to finish it without me," says Enel angrily.

Now, Enel is determined to destroy the Marine ships and prepare to use all his power. He gathers his power and then spins his gold staff before using it to hit the drums on his back. After that, a giant bird made of lightning appears from the drum.

"30 Million Volts Thunder Bird!" says Enel as he sends the bird flies toward one of the Marine ships.

Enel controls the bird to fly high before it dives down toward one of the ships. It crashes onto the ship and destroys it instantly while electrocuting everyone on it.

"*pant pant* Not yet," says Enel.

That attack tired him a lot because his stamina is still not high enough for it. But then he make 2 more Thunder Birds to attack the other 2 ships and succeed even though they tried to get away. His Thunder Birds are faster than the ships, after all.

He is very tired now but he still wants to join the war so he goes there even while panting hard. He falls a few times but he gets up again and finally joins the war. Jude can only sigh and says, "Maniac."
