Chapter 10: Chapter 10 : Oars Apperance
[Under the relentless assault of Moria's Shadow, Luffy found himself powerless!]
[Finally, when he seized the smallest opportunity to unleash a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka for a brief respite, an even greater crisis emerged!]
[I witnessed Moria's wicked grin, pointing toward the gaping hole in the castle wall.]
[As Luffy gazed outside, his formerly bewildered expression instantly transformed into one of shock, his pupils shrinking dramatically!]
[For right there, a colossal being with a towering figure, crimson skin, and horns protruding from its head appeared!]
[That horrifying physique, grotesque countenance, akin to a living demon, was sheer terror personified!]
This scene sent shockwaves not only through everyone present but also through the worldwide audience watching the live broadcast...
"Is that... Oars!?" Whitebeard furrowed his brow, seemingly unable to believe it.
Ace, Marco, Vista, and several other Whitebeard Pirates crew members shared his disbelief.
It was because Oars and their Whitebeard Pirates had a peculiar connection. Among their ranks, there was a crew member named Little Oz who bore an uncanny resemblance to the figure on screen. You see, Little Oz was the descendant of Oars from the Elbaf country, a legacy that spanned over five centuries.
Had it not been for Little Oz's colossal size, their pirate ship would have been unable to accommodate him, leaving him to reside on the island most of the time. Now, however, they beheld Little Oz's astonished countenance.
Ace's expression gradually soured.
"Moria was already a formidable opponent, but I never expected him to have such an ace up his sleeve."
"Even Oars has joined the fray. How can Luffy hope to win?"
"But I still have faith in you, Luffy. I believe you can triumph in this battle..."
...
"Oars that vanished for over five centuries has returned," Sengoku and Garp both registered mild surprise.
Even the Three Admirals - Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji - along with Mihawk and the others, displayed a hint of intrigue.
Oars's origins were downright terrifying! An Evil Giant hailing from the giant race, the giants themselves were incredibly powerful and formidable. But the Evil Giant outmatched them, possessing even greater power and destructive capabilities.
Legend had it that more than 500 years ago, Oars had already achieved world-renowned notoriety. He was known for lifting entire islands with his bare hands, earning him the title of "Oars, the Continent-Puller."
This alone attested to the terrifying extent of his strength.
"I didn't expect it, Moria. You've been concealing Oars's body all along," Crocodile commented, puffing on his cigar and narrowing his eyes.
At this moment, everyone in attendance, including the Marines and the other Seven Warlords, turned their gaze towards Moria. Their eyes held a complex mix of emotions...
They were aware that Moria possessed the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, an ability that could resurrect the dead by implanting shadows and compelling them to follow his commands.
Oars's power was immeasurable, and ownership of his body by another could pose a significant threat.
Crocodile, Doflamingo, Hancock, Mihawk, and the others cast Moria knowing glances. Meanwhile, the Three Admirals - Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji - conveyed a sense of impending danger.
Moria possessed such a devastating weapon, and this was detrimental both to the Marines and the major island countries.
The atmosphere grew tense, with everyone exchanging apprehensive glances.
At that moment, Moria's already pale complexion turned even paler.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt an ominous foreboding...
[It turned out that Luffy's shadow, stolen by Moria before, had been placed inside Oars's body by Moria.]
[Thus, the current Oars possessed not only his original fearsome physique but also Luffy's strength and an incredible vitality akin to an unstoppable force.]
[Without a doubt, Oars in his present form was a formidable opponent.]
[As Luffy stood bewildered in the corridor, staring at the mountainous monster, the Straw Hat Pirates and countless zombies outside were equally dumbfounded.]
"What... What is this!?" Lola's crew members were utterly petrified. Were it not for Luffy's support, they might have fainted on the spot.
[Meanwhile, Zoro and others remained more composed, realizing, "A vicious battle awaits us."]
Just as everyone braced themselves to face this formidable adversary, Oars's next move left them astounded.
"Gomu Gomu no..."
"What!?" The Straw Hat Pirates exclaimed, gazing forward in disbelief.
They couldn't fathom why this colossal monster that had suddenly appeared would be using the same techniques as Luffy.
"Gomu Gomu no Machine Gun!"
Oars's fists descended upon the castle, as if intending to obliterate Luffy within.
While his movements lacked the elasticity and extreme speed of Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, they were instead slow and mechanical, with his massive fists swinging back and forth.
Even so, his colossal size endowed him with terrifying destructive power.
With just a single, rigid sweep of his arms, the entire castle crumbled instantly.
The deafening noise echoed through the sky, leaving everyone stunned...
This included the various world powers observing the scene.
They discovered that Luffy's battle, along with his comrades, might prove far more challenging than anticipated...
