Chapter 654: Invincible Nika? Call me! (2 in 1)

The strange aura that suddenly appeared on the battlefield attracted Jinbei's attention. When he looked back, he saw Luffy wrapped in white mist.

"what happened?!"

What happened to Luffy was far beyond Shengping's expectations. He never thought that Luffy, who had obviously lost his fighting ability, could actually stand up in such a state.

Moreover, feeling the domineering aura emanating from the other person's body, Ping's expression became extremely ugly at this moment.

Strong, very strong!

The domineering aura emanating from Luffy was even stronger than before. Jinbei didn't know what was supporting Luffy, allowing him to emit such a shocking aura even though he was so seriously injured.

Faced with all the strange events revealed by Luffy, Jinbei was also concerned. He ignored Sanji and silently put the handcuffs back into his back pocket. Jinbei's full attention was on Luffy.

"call--"

A strong wind blew by, and the white smoke surrounding Luffy also dissipated. The appearance of the thin little boy had changed greatly. His black hair turned into white flames burning like fire.

The red vest on his body also turned snow-white, and a white flame cloud surrounded Luffy's body, supporting his body floating in the air.

"The awakening of the Animal Devil Fruit?!"

Luffy's appearance at this time made Jinbei feel very familiar. Looking at Luffy's appearance, he was clearly the awakening appearance of an animal-type Devil Fruit user. The only difference was the color of the flame cloud surrounding his body.

After ordinary animal-type devil fruit users awaken, the flame clouds surrounding their bodies are black, while the flame clouds surrounding Luffy are white.

The Nika Fruit finally showed its true form when Luffy was in desperate situation. The power of the devil fruit not only restored Luffy's condition to its peak, but also gave him extremely strong combat power.

"Sanji!"

Luffy's laughter suddenly stopped. He turned his head and his sight fell on Sanji behind Jinbei. After a low growl, Luffy's figure turned into a white stream of light and flew towards Jinbei rapidly.

"Without any help, he has the ability to fly in this form?!"

Unlike the way Luffy moves in the fourth gear state, Luffy in the fifth gear Nika form has real flying ability, and his flying speed is so fast that even Jinbe cannot catch his sight with the naked eye.

In just a blink of an eye, the white light passed through Jinbei and landed directly next to Sanji.

When Jinbei turned around and looked behind him, Luffy had already grabbed Sanji, and then with force from both hands, he threw Sanji out of the battlefield.

"Luffy—you bastard—"

Sanji, who was thrown away, disappeared from Jinbe's sight in just a blink of an eye. Only Sanji's slightly angry roar came back from the sky.

Obviously, Sanji didn't expect that Luffy would help him escape from the battlefield in this way.

Although such ridiculous things have happened before, Sanji has no way to adapt to it no matter how many times it happens.

"I'll be right there, Sanji—"

Luffy, who threw Sanji away, looked very happy. He opened his mouth and showed a bright smile on his face.

Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, Jinbei couldn't help but frown. He raised his arm, condensed a ball of sea water in his palm, and then swung it violently towards Luffy.

Hit the water.

When facing a Devil Fruit user, using seawater to hit the water may be more effective than other methods of attack.

"call out--"

The water bullet flew through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

However, when he got close to Luffy, he opened his mouth and swallowed the water bullet into his mouth.

"?!!"

Luffy's action also made Jinbei look stunned. In his mind, he had actually guessed several ways that the enemy would defend against his attack, either by blocking head-on or by dodging. The only thing he didn't expect was that the opponent would actually swallow the water bullet in one gulp.

Because Luffy's fighting style was too strange, even Jinbe, who was calm and composed, was stunned for a moment.

"Bah! Bah!"

"It's so salty, why is it sea water?!"

Not long after swallowing the water bullet, Luffy dug his throat and spat out the sea water, complaining as he did so, with a look of disgust on his face.

Jinbei frowned. The attitude displayed by the opponent at this moment showed that he did not take this battle seriously at all and did not take him, the enemy, seriously.

Such an attitude seemed extremely arrogant to Jinbei, as if such a fight was just a child's play in the eyes of the other party.

But Jinbei would not underestimate Luffy because of his nonsensical behavior at this time, because his attack really could not cause any damage to the enemy.

His attacks were unable to threaten his opponent, which was definitely not good news for Jinbe.

Out of caution, Jinbei did not blindly close in on the opponent. Since one water bullet could not cause any damage to the enemy, what about more? !
With this thought in mind, Jinbei spread out his hands, and as his center of gravity suddenly sank, countless sea water seeped out from the muddy ground and quickly condensed towards Jinbei's palms.

"Rain of people!"

As Jinbei's low roar rang out on the battlefield, the water bullets condensed in his palms poured down towards Luffy like raindrops.

"Hoo ho ho!"

"If you look closely, it's really spectacular!"

"But such an attack is useless to me now."

Luffy let out a frivolous laugh, and then he bent his knees. The ground beneath his feet turned into soft rubber, heaving up and down like a rough sea.

When the rain was falling, Luffy suddenly grabbed the ground with both hands, pulled up a piece of soil from the ground and blocked it in front of himself.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

Water bullets continuously bombarded the "rubber" in Luffy's hand, leaving dense craters one after another.

After Jinbe's attack disappeared, Luffy casually threw the "land" in his hand aside, and then gave Jinbe not far away a big smile.

"It's my turn!"

Rubber White Bench Vise!

Luffy's body suddenly swelled up, and his figure seemed to have become a giant at this moment. At the same time, Luffy quickly stretched out his arms, and his two big hands directly reached towards Jinbei as if slapping a fly.

Luffy's speed is terrifying and his attack range is abnormally large.

Caught off guard, Jinbei had no time to dodge and could only stretch out his arms to block, and the next moment he was hit by Luffy's giant palm.

"Bang!!!"

The terrifying power came from Jinbe's body. The powerful armament color attached to it and the arms that were filled with domineering power were actually broken by Luffy at this moment.

Following a muffled sound, two crisp sounds of bone cracking were heard by Jinbei. The severe pain made Jinbei break out in a cold sweat, and his two arms went limp.

With both arms disabled, Jinbei had trouble maintaining his balance and half-knelt in the muddy ground, with dirty water splashing onto Jinbei's snow-white military uniform.

With just one strike, Jinbei completely lost his ability to fight.

Luffy retracted his palm and glanced at Jinbei who was half-kneeling on the ground. He seemed to realize that he had been too heavy-handed. He scratched his head in embarrassment and then laughed:

"Ah! Sorry, sorry!"

"Hahahaha, don't chase us anymore, we'll leave first!" Luffy didn't know why, but he felt a little guilty in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but laugh.

His words sounded full of sarcasm to Jinbei's ears.

“Are you kidding me?!”

Jinbei growled and struggled to stand up from the ground. Facing such a vicious pirate, he would never let the other party leave even at the risk of his life.

Even though he had lost both arms, Jinbei still felt that he had an obligation to keep the other person here.

"Bang!!!"

Jinbei managed to stand up and plunged headfirst into the muddy ground. Due to continuous heavy blows, too many cracks had appeared on the surface of the battlefield, and the ground had become very thin.

With this powerful thrust, Jinbei penetrated the ground directly and entered the sea.

"Hmm? What?"

Luffy looked at the ground where Shengping disappeared with some confusion, scratched his head, and looked puzzled.

The next moment, the rumbling sound of waves sounded from afar.

Hearing the noise, Luffy turned his head and found that the originally calm bay was suddenly hit by huge waves, which were rushing towards the coast rapidly.

This wave was a hundred meters high, covering the sky and the sun, and Luffy was so scared that his eyes popped out.

"Nani!!!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Amazing!"

Luffy let out a scream, but in the next second he burst into hearty laughter and praised "awesome". In fact, no one could figure out whether Luffy's "awesome" was a compliment or sarcasm, but at least in the eyes of the fish-man navy who were watching the battle, Luffy's "awesome" should be a sarcasm.

Because they didn't see the slightest bit of seriousness on Luffy's face.

"I am leaving, bye."

Luffy's feet, floating in the air, seemed to have turned into high-speed spinning tires at this moment. After laughing happily, he really disappeared from the spot as quickly as he said.

"boom--"

The huge waves hit and the sea water directly submerged the entire battlefield, but when the tide receded, there was no trace of Luffy and others.

Jinbe's attack completely changed the terrain of Mermaid Bay, but such a powerful attack could not touch Luffy in Nika form at all.

Luffy obviously had no intention of continuing to tangle with the new navy. He had already successfully covered the departure of his companions, so naturally there was no reason for Luffy to stay here any longer.

All that was left was the post-war devastation.

Jinbei's attack naturally would not have any impact on the Shark Star's fishman navy. When the tide receded, Cavendish's figure appeared on the shore. After choking on the water a few times, he regained consciousness.

He was brought back to the land by the waves. Luffy's attack had caused his breathing to stagnate. As his body fell into the bay, Cavendish drank a belly full of sea water.

Fortunately, he was not drowning for long, and he was the kind of person who had received years of training and was a good swimmer, so he was able to survive.

Jinbei used the waves to return to the land. He looked around and found that Luffy had left. His face darkened.

The strength of this group of pirates was far beyond his expectations. Before this, Jinbei had never thought that their branch would have to pay such a heavy price just to deal with a group of pirates whose bounty was only 1000 berries.

Not only were several grassroots navy personnel killed, but even the Seraphim had fallen into a strange state, and it was unknown whether they could continue to be used.

He himself also suffered broken arms and serious injuries in the battle with Luffy.

I don't know if this kind of injury can be recovered? If so, how long will it take to recover? Will it affect my combat effectiveness after recovery?
All of this has become a risk that Jinbei needs to bear.

"Lieutenant General, that group of people should have escaped."

"Are you okay with your injury?!"

When Shark Star and others saw Jinbei appear, they quickly surrounded Jinbei. Looking at Jinbei's drooping arms, Shark Star's face showed deep worry.

Jinbe is the mainstay of their Fishman Island branch. There are too many powerful enemies that Jinbe needs to deal with personally. Now that Jinbe is seriously injured and has lost his combat effectiveness, Shark Star doesn't know how Fishman Island will maintain the safety and stability of the island.

"do not know"

"The best expectation for my injury is that I can recover."

Jinbei endured the pain, looked in the direction where Luffy and the others left, and spoke.

"What do we do next?"

Shark Star's heart sank when he heard this. Although he had expected this, he still felt heavy when he heard these words from Jinbei's mouth.

This crusade against the Straw Hat Pirates was undoubtedly a failure.

Moreover, Shark Star had never experienced such a devastating defeat before, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with such a cruel reality.

"The enemy's strength is far beyond our capabilities."

"Now we can only ask the headquarters for support!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates have just arrived at Fishman Island and they are unlikely to leave in the short term. They will not be able to leave until they have recorded the magnetic field on Fishman Island."

"Find their ships, and if they go out to sea, attack and intercept them directly in the sea!"

"Before the support from the headquarters arrives, keep an eye on them!"

Jinbe is also extremely cautious when dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates.

He had fought with Luffy personally and knew how powerful the other party was. He also knew that he was not someone he could deal with.

But unlike Shark Star whose mind is confused, Jinbei's mind is still very clear.

It was true that the enemy was very powerful, and he was indeed unable to deal with such a powerful enemy.

But so what?

There are many strong ones in the new navy!
That afternoon, Jinbei reported the matter concerning the Straw Hat Pirates to the headquarters, and his call for help was directly made to Zephyr's office.

When Zephyr heard the news that Seraph was put into hibernation and Jinbe had both arms broken, he was confused at first.

Then, anger filled his head.

Luffy
The kid he raised became a pirate? And he caused a big fuss on Fishman Island. This was something Zephyr couldn't accept no matter what. After hearing the news, he decided to lead the team to capture Luffy despite all the dissuasion.

For the sake of Zephyr's safety and also out of curiosity about Luffy's Nika-fruit, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not dissuade Zephyr after learning the news. Instead, he asked Zephyr to leave a rest cabin for him when Zephyr set sail.

"White Flame Cloud"

"It should be the Nika form for sure."

"Let me see what kind of power can change the world."
