One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Crack!" A clear sound of bone breaking rang out as the black shoes, filled with seastone, instantly nullified the Devil Fruit and restored the original arm.

"Severing the Void!" Mabi swung her sword at Sanji's now-shrunken legs! She sliced ​​through his arm, but he dodged it by using his intangible powers!

"Angelia! You've lost too much water and need to be replenished!" He stepped forward, pulled Sanji up, and tossed him to Angelia, who was on Jack's back, and instructed her.

"Seastone again! These damned rookies!" Crocodile, now fully formed in the distance, cursed angrily as he watched the rookies suffer repeated losses. He conjured up his bent arms, rearranged them, and restored them to their original shape, but the physical injuries remained unhealed!

"Gum-Gum! Rocket Air Cannon!" Upon seeing the figure appear, Luffy quickly threw a punch!

"Desert Fortress!" A yellowish-brown sand wall formed, and the powerful air rocket launcher left only two huge dents on it before it was repaired.

"Sever the Void!" After the strike, only a cloud of yellow sand and smoke remained before the person disappeared again.

"Desert Prison!" Crocodile, his body concealed in the yellow sand, launched a surprise attack. Ever since he saw the fresh water Mabi threw out and the seastone items worn by everyone, he knew that if he showed his body, he would be injured if he was careless.

"Shock the air!" Again, nothing was found.

"Heavyweight Sandstorm!" A massive tornado emerged from the yellow sand and appeared before Luffy and Mabe.

"Luffy! Let's go up!" Maggie shouted to Luffy.

"Gum-Gum! Slingshot!" Luffy stretched out his arm and grabbed Maggie's shin as she tried to kick upwards. He contracted his body and flew into the sky, using his momentum to propel Maggie into the air without letting go of her hand.

"Rubber rubber! Battle axe!" Using Mabi as a fulcrum, the legs stretched towards the sky and cleaved downwards after the desert storm, creating a huge desert basin.

"Desert Diamond Blade!" Crocodile, who had escaped being attacked, continued his assault!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of sonic booms rang out.

···

"Hoohoo!"

Mebius exhaled a rough breath. At this moment, Crocodile's underground ambush was no longer effective with small-scale attacks. The force of striking the soft yellow sand could hardly penetrate very far, and he also had to be careful of the desert dunes that occasionally rushed out to prevent them from capturing and swallowing him.

"Luffy, go up!" With a wave of his hand, Luffy was sent into the sky. No one else could be nearby. He descended and stood on the desert, his muscles tensed, and he raised his right fist high. Spatial abilities attached themselves to the surface of his fist, and his waist twisted as he punched his fist from top to bottom with all his might!

"Salted fish shakes the air!"

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

···

As Mabi unleashed her full power, countless white spatial fragments rapidly spread outwards from the point of impact. The soft desert hills were snapped in half, forming cliffs. Further mountains were also affected, collapsing and splintering countless rocks and trees that tumbled down the mountainside, creating a deafening sound that echoed throughout the silent sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several underground rivers were blasted out of their springs by a powerful force, forming fountains tens of meters high, sending out clear water columns that swept away the dust and smoke that filled the air.

"Whitebeard!" Crocodile, who had been violently shaken, seemed to recall what had happened more than a decade ago. His arm was still throbbing slightly, and he roared to the sky.

···

"Dad's ability?" The cowboy hat-wearing man rushing towards them kicked away a tree that had snapped and crashed into them due to the shockwave, and his body transformed into flames to accelerate his movement.

The rocks flying in the air not far away also sensed the urge to accelerate.

"Get down!" The navy personnel, seeing the sweeping shockwave, immediately lay prone on the ground to avoid the impact.

"This is Mabi's power! When did he become so powerful?" After the dust settled, the group, who had been sitting far away on Jack's back, stared in shock at the huge basin below, filled with countless rubble, broken wood, yellow sand, and fountains with a diameter of several kilometers. They asked each other, wondering what Mabi had gone through to become so powerful in an instant. He had been with them the whole time, so how could he have suddenly changed?

"Could it be those three days?" Mia reminded them, since Mabi wasn't in front of everyone on the way, which meant those three days were for exploration.

"So much change in just three days? That's impossible." Usopp's face showed disbelief. He had been with him for over ten years and had never seen him display such powerful abilities.

"Robin?" Nami asked Robin. Robin had been with him for those three days, so she should know something about what had happened.

“We were separated in the middle of the island for a day, and Maggie was very different when she reappeared after that day,” Robin explained. No one knows what Maggie went through that day, not even himself.

"I remember now, when we were taking a shower, Maggie hugged us tightly as if we hadn't seen each other for a long time." Angelia blushed slightly as she recalled that time.

"Speaking of which, Maggie's eyes did look like she hadn't seen him for a long time when she came back." Usopp sat down cross-legged, resting his chin on his thumb and forefinger, pondering the situation at the time.

"Damn it! That pervert was peeping at you guys taking a bath! That's something I haven't even done yet!" Sanji, who was sprawled on the tiger skin enjoying Angelia's treatment, suddenly jumped up and cursed.

"Damn it! You're focusing on the wrong thing!" Nami said, punching Sanji to the ground.

"I'm going to kill that pervert!" Sanji, who had been lying down, sprang up again, using his newly healed leg to leap away.

With her arm behind her back and her other hand firmly pressing down on her throbbing arm, Mabi calmly gazed at Crocodile, whose body was dripping with water, not far away. His water-absorbing ability was now completely useless under the fountains, as the water absorbed would be immediately replenished. His powerful sand-forming ability had also become dispensable in places with abundant water.

Chapter 67 Battle! Fire Fist Ace!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Battle! Fire Fist Ace!

Crocodile stared at Mabe standing there, and a surge of anger rose within him. He thrust out his golden hook and slashed at Mabe's neck.

Mabe remained unmoved by Crocodile's attack, and at the last moment, she sidestepped, bent over, and delivered a swift, single-leg whip strike that sent Crocodile flying back, kicking up a cloud of mud.

"Damn it!" Crocodile cursed as he stood up from the mud, throwing off his mud-covered cloak and pulling off the outer shell of the golden hook in his hand. Since he couldn't use the Sand-Sand Fruit, he could only use this kind of poison that would kill on contact.

"Gum-Gum! Grenade!" Luffy, seeing the purplish-red smoke from afar, instinctively sensed something was wrong. He stretched out his arm, his fingers forming a net, grabbed a distant boulder, hurled it back, and then launched an attack.

"Divine Fire - Shiranui!" Two beams of white smoke shot out from the heavy water curtain with a hissing sound.

"Cloud-Dispelling Palm! Stepping into the Void!" Always on guard, Mabi sensed the abnormal flow of the surrounding air, turned around, and struck out with her palm, causing waves of water mist to ripple. She didn't dare to stop for a moment and quickly stepped away.

Looking back, the two pillars of fire that attacked him were deflected by his own air explosion, shooting off into the distance with a piercing steaming sound, forming puffs of white steam before being extinguished by the fountain.

“Fire Fist Ace!” Maby said, staring at the freckled man whose entire body was shrouded in steam.

"Hey! Not bad! You actually dodged my attack!" The man in front of me pushed up his cowboy hat with his finger and laughed.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun, so I'll join in."

"Fire Fist!" The right arm swung out, flames burning, expanding, and rapidly striking towards Mabe in front of him.

"Damn it!" Mabi cursed under her breath, but still drew her sword and swung it. The arm she had just used to shake the air was still throbbing with pain. Although she didn't know why she was attacking, she still faced the challenge head-on. In a real battle, no one would give her a moment to breathe.

"Sever the Void!" The massive crescent-shaped slash easily shattered the burning pillar of fire before it, but then it fused back together and continued its attack. The previous slash did not interfere with it in the slightest.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!" Mabi could clearly hear the sound of her hair curling due to the intense heat.

"Shock the air!" The back of the blade flipped, causing the air to vibrate and strike the incoming fiery fist. The blade tip pressed down, and the body rolled with the force of the recoil, steadily stepping on the red flames. The feet stomped wildly, creating rings of flames below. Using the recoil, the body moved upward and the weapon in the hand was swung out rapidly.

"Air shakes!"

"fire punch!"

The man in front of her steadily blocked Maby's knife with his left fist, shook his slightly sore right arm, looked at Maby and smiled: "So your attack only suppressed for a moment."

"You found out! But that's enough!" Mabi laughed nonchalantly as she was thrown back. Her ability was nothing more than an explosive effect caused by the instantaneous compression of air for attack and defense. Once discovered, delaying the attack would render it useless.

"Cloud-Dispelling Palm! Explode!" The body instantly moved forward and unleashed a left palm strike.

"Bang!" The invisible shockwave from the clash of fist and palm was clearly visible through the mist rising in the air.

"Sever the Void!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Countless explosions rose and fell.

···

"Again! Shatter the Sky!" Mabi once again sheathed her longsword, her whole body tensed, and swung it out again, shouting! Since coming out of that place, she hadn't experienced such an exhilarating battle in a long time, and she needed to vent her energy. Activating her Devil Fruit ability never felt as satisfying as this kind of punch-to-the-flesh feeling.

"Haha! Again!" He laughed as he blocked the longsword that was slashing at him with his arm covered in qi armor, but then his expression suddenly changed and he jumped backward. The flames on his arm became ethereal, dissipating the force before coalescing again.

"Attack the internal organs through the body?"

"It seems this sword technique, which attacks solid objects, is still effective against Haki." Mabi saw the water droplets fall onto the other's arm and slide off without touching it, so she naturally knew that he was using an ability that was essential for the strong in this world. He was testing whether this ability, which was specifically designed to attack solid objects, would be useful! However, it was still not very useful against a body that was entirely composed of molecules.

"Mirror Flame!" A massive wall of fire was created and pushed forward by burning hands, causing countless trees to burn, soil to dry, and water mist to spread.

"Sever the Void!" Slashing open a channel of flames, instantly distancing himself from the nature-based elementalists was pure suicide.

···

"Haha! Monkey D. Luffy! You're all desperately protecting that wicked woman, but she'll betray you sooner or later. That's her survival rule." Crocodile, covered in wounds, his clothes torn and his golden hook broken, laughed loudly at Luffy, who had attacked him.

"Damn it! How dare you insult my comrade! Gum-Gum Battle Axe!" Enraged, Luffy leaped high into the air, his legs extending and carrying a powerful gust of wind as he slammed down from the sky.

"Boom!" The entire area could no longer withstand the powerful impact and collapsed underground again.

"Luffy, let me heal you." Angelia, who was the first to land from the sky, stepped forward and said to Luffy, who had finished the battle.

"Thank you, Angelia!" Luffy extended his poisoned arm to express his gratitude. He had been poisoned before, but this time the poisoning was not very serious, and it was completely eliminated in a short time after Angelia's purification.

"Mabi is still fighting!" she said, gazing at the scene of countless sparks flying in the distance.

“Yes! Robin said that a pirate named Ace inexplicably joined the battle and is currently fighting Maggie,” Angelia explained.

"Ace! He ate a Devil Fruit?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion. It looked familiar, but it was really difficult to distinguish the figure in that area full of flames and boulders. Even Maple could only analyze the location by the flying slashes.

"Jack! Bring out my turret!" Usopp, who had landed nearby, shouted to the shrunken Jack, since he was too small to fit into Jack's body.

“Okay!” Jack cleared a flat area of ​​land, took out a giant turret that was 1.5 meters high, 1.7 meters wide and 4 meters long, covered with parts. This was the one that looked good in the palace before, so he just took it.

"Wow! That's so cool! I want one too!" Luffy's eyes lit up as he looked at the cold, mechanical monster.

"Let me fire!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly as he saw him load the ammunition and jumped forward to pull the fuse.

"Damn it! I haven't adjusted the cannon's muzzle yet." Usopp cursed as he saw the situation and immediately lay down on the ground. According to tests, this turret could emit a lot of smoke.

"Cough! Cough! That's so cool!" Luffy coughed as he walked out, his eyes sparkling as he stared at the trajectory of the cannonball.

···

"Slay the Shark!" The bull-headed, porous mask swung out a giant blade from its center, slashing at the returning cannonball.

"Vice Admiral Bastet! Here!" The navy personnel who had just arrived stared in shock at the massive basin before them. The clear signs of broken trees around them indicated that the tremors had triggered the disaster. The occasional explosions of battle waves emanating from the center of the basin further confirmed that they were responsible for the commotion.

"Advance rapidly! They have discovered our presence."

···

"It's over! It was a few very powerful young men!" the middle-aged man in the purple bathrobe said slowly.

"Crocodile is dead! Haha! Dead! I haven't even had my revenge yet and he's already dead! Comrades! Everyone! Hahaha! Hahaha!" The young man standing on the floating rock beside him knelt on the ground, pounding his fists wildly, two streams of bloody tears flowing from the white bandage on his forehead.
