One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

Upon hearing Sanji's question, Usopp immediately recounted the entire backstory, including what he was going to do next!

Hearing his explanation, Sanji looked at the giant red-skinned human making a ruckus in the distance, lit another cigarette, and sighed.

"So we need to defeat another Shichibukai to bring back Luffy's shadow and save those who have been stripped of their shadows in the distance!"

"That's how it should be in theory, but we don't know the specific method to retrieve it. According to them, you can't get the shadow by dismembering or breaking it into pieces; you can only get the shadow by burning the person to ashes."

He swung his sword to slice through the flying boulders, and frowned as he answered the question, staring at the towering figure that was eighty or ninety meters tall.

"Judging from the situation, Luffy's shadow has been implanted into this body. Burning such a large body is quite a challenge! In that case, it would be much easier to attack this so-called Shichibukai directly."

"Ho ho! Ho ho! There's a way to solve this quickly!" A skull dressed in a black suit with an afro appeared from the other end of the cloud bridge!

"Straw Hat Boys, can you grant me a request? Help me find my shadow too!"

Chapter 151 The Straw Hat Crew's Powerful Attack!

After hearing Brook's words, Sanji gently exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the giant red zombie wandering in the waist-high and thigh-deep forest in the distance, replying.

"Salt? You're saying salt can make these shadows detach from the zombies?"

“Hoo! Ho! Yes, the crystallized salt, imbued with the power of the sea, can dissipate the fruit abilities on the shadows, returning them to their respective owners,” Brook nodded in response.

Looking again at the giant red zombie running in the distance, Sanji stubbed out his cigarette and nodded.

"Then I'll go find salt! I'm sure such a big island must have a kitchen!"

"Waaah! Zoro, Nami, I'm leaving this giant who holds my shadow to you! I'm going to find that spit-headed bastard who stole my shadow! I'll definitely beat him to a pulp!" Luffy stared intently at the distant buildings, frantically devouring the chunk of meat in his hand, and muttering orders under his breath.

"Heh! In that case, the giant before us is ours! Such a massive body is quite a challenge." Zoro sheathed his longsword and grinned wickedly, tearing off the scarf from his arm and tying it around his forehead to create a shackle around his head, making him exceptionally clear-headed in battle.

"Ding! Ding!" With two crisp sounds, Nami tapped her Weather Stick to alert everyone.

"Since it's already decided! Sanji will find the salt, Luffy will find Moria! This giant zombie is ours! Brook, you find your shadow's body, and we'll help you get it back!"

"Yo ho ho! Ho ho! Thank you, beautiful lady! Please allow me to admire your..."

"Get lost!" A dark shadow shot out and flew towards the distant castle.

Nami withdrew her still-smoking fist, her forehead veins bulging, and swept her gaze across everyone present with a furious look that instantly made them tremble with fear.

"We're all fine!"

Everyone immediately nodded and shouted in unison! Luffy took the lead, stretching out his arm and roaring to the sky, his entire body shooting out as his arm retracted!

"Gum-Gum! Slingshot! Moria! Here I come! I'm going to knock you away!"

"Huh? What's wrong with you all?" Nami looked at them with a face full of questions.

"Go! Go! Everyone, get on my back!" Jack instantly swelled into a giant white tiger that was over ten meters long. Clouds appeared beneath his feet, and he floated in the air. After everyone got on, he quickly ran towards the zombies wandering in the distance.

"Zoro!" Mia whispered, her black snake tail emerging from her beige dress and coiling around Zoro's body!

"Got it! Jack, run to his side!" Zoro's lips curled up as he let the black snake tail wrap around his waist, allowing Mia, who had transformed into her true form, to climb onto his shoulder, and he drew his long sword.

"no problem!"

···

"Where's the cannon?! Where's my cannon?!"

"How can a captain be without a cannon? I must find a way to fire a shot at him!"

As the group drew closer, the Mercedes felt an increasing sense of dread at the sight of the red zombie. The sounds emanating from its mouth caused the surrounding air to ripple, creating a powerful gust of wind that whipped at their clothes, the rustling sound a reminder of the terrifying giant before them.

As they approached, Jack's eleven or twelve-meter-tall and nearly twenty-meter-long body seemed like a pet barely reaching their knees in comparison, not to mention the even smaller crowd standing on his back.

Under the gloomy night sky, Nami, standing atop the tiger's head, stared at the red zombie roaring incessantly, pointing her Clima-Tact at its head that was emitting the fury.

"Merry! Shot him in the head!"

"One hundred million volts! Thunder Dragon!" With a swing of his arm, Golden Merry unleashed a bolt of lightning that shot from his palm into the sky and flew far away. Under his command, the blue and white lightning tore through the layers of dark clouds and crashed down on the huge figure below.

Blue and white lightning appeared in the sky and fell wildly, which was like the horn to start the battle, causing everyone's already prepared attacks to erupt.

"Four-Sword Style! Thousand Hundred Trouble Phoenix!"

Zoro and Mia pressed their sword tips together, their muscles tensed, watching as Merry's attack materialized. Their bodies twisted rapidly, and a phoenix-shaped sword aura formed from the tips of the four blades, emitting a crisp cry as it spiraled upwards under the terrifying force they unleashed.

"Wind Cannon!"

Franky's thick arm instantly bulged and contracted, unleashing a force that distorted the entire area, which visibly surged toward his abdomen.

"Strength Enhancement! Cherry Blossom Hoof Slash!"

Chopper even transformed into a man with many arms, wildly waving them in front of him!

Crescent-shaped wind blades rapidly emerged and cut forward.

"Behold my laser shuriken!"

Holding a giant bullet pouch, Usopp launched a fist-sized steel device, which flew into the air and immediately emitted a seven- or eight-meter-long, blazing white light that swept horizontally.

Angelia's wings billowed high, and golden light began to emerge from them and gather in her hands. Two golden chains appeared on the steel chains that stretched across the sky and were several meters in diameter, flying rapidly in the air. With a swing of her arm, the soft golden chains straightened instantly, breaking through layers of space and wrapping around the giant figure in front of her.

"Sacred Chains! Join!"

In an instant!

Giant Phoenix Cry Sword Qi!

Blue and white lightning bolts!

An air cannon that warps space!

Like a crescent-shaped blade amidst a torrential downpour!

A longsword radiating a blazing white light!

Golden chains dancing wildly in the air!

Everything! All the attacks! In an instant, they erupted in this vast, cloud-filled world! Gazing at the corner of this island-like ship, the entire sky collapsed and vanished under this terrifying aura, forming a circular crater that prevented the clouds from appearing!

Rumble! Rumble!

All the attacks were instantly engulfed by the giant figure towering on the island, and a deafening explosion was heard!

The surrounding space was violently distorted amidst the dense, continuous explosions!

Countless trees on the ground rustled and were uprooted by the explosion, rolling away into the distance with the blast of air.

The zombies watching from afar saw the falling logs and rubble! They immediately turned and jumped into the pre-dug holes, burying themselves completely! Those zombies without holes to live in moved at lightning speed, as if windmills had sprung up beneath their feet, cursing under their breath!

"Run! Run! Run now! Who are these people?! I feel like they're about to smash this island to pieces!"

"Leave! Leave! Quickly seek Lord Moria's help!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! How scary! The Kumashi Straw Hat Pirates are so scary!" Perona, standing on the windowsill in the distance, hugged the teddy bear next to her, seeking comfort.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Cindry! Is this the Straw Hat crew's terrifying ability? They must be excellent material. Lord Moria will surely not let them go!" The man with a mouthful of fangs and wearing a purple cape looked over and laughed wildly.

"Plates! Plates! All plates should be destroyed!"

A huge figure leaped up from the broken hole in a distant building, staring at the area where the explosion had occurred with unusual joy, laughing heartily.

"Huh! Is this what the Straw Hat crew is capable of? Hehehehe! Hehehehe! I'm getting more and more interested in them! With so many shadows, they must be able to make some great zombies! Hehehehe! Hilton, tell Perona, Hogback, and Absalom to prepare for battle! We must capture the entire Straw Hat crew."

"Damn it! Onion head! I'll beat you to a pulp! Give me back my shadow right now!" Another figure stumbled in and threw a punch at the huge figure.

"Shadow Mage!"

"Damn it! What is this?" Luffy, who was blocked, jumped back and looked at the people who had suddenly appeared in the distance and asked.

Seeing that Moria had not broken through his defenses, he lazily leaned against the wall and lay down, grinning.

"Hehehe! This is a shadow mage I made from my shadow! As the master, you should just lie down and enjoy yourself! Let others do all the trouble. Don't worry, it won't be long before your shadow becomes my subordinate."

Upon hearing this, Luffy turned to look at the gradually dissipating explosion in the distance, and gazed at Jack, who was hovering there, his eyes filled with confidence.

"They won't let you succeed! They'll definitely stop him! Before that, I'll take you down! Rubber Rocket!"

"Hehehe! That's not up to you! Scatter Bats!" Instantly, bats resembling Moriah scattered rapidly, pressing down on the incoming fist.

···

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurts! I remember I'm immune to being hurt!"

As the smoke in the entire battle area began to dissipate, a slightly painful roar suddenly erupted, carrying with it a gust of wind that propelled dust into the distance, revealing the gigantic figure howling in agony below.

"I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to kill you all!"

Two large and one small fangs on his chest and stomach clearly revealed the shattered internal organs behind them; dents from being slapped on his arm; broken fangs on his head; and a wound on his thigh that briefly revealed the sky behind him.

"As expected of the legendary demon, his body, which can withstand cannonballs, is enough to withstand attacks from most people."

"Damn it! How did it grow like this? It can still move even with such a serious injury!" Zoro cursed under his breath as he looked at the giant zombie below, which was still writhing wildly with a huge wound on its stomach. He then jumped off Jack's back and ran over to it.

"If once isn't enough, then twice!"

"Since the laser sword's beam only managed to pierce a small wound for him, then I'll show you my giant shuriken!"

Finding that the single small laser shell was not very useful, Usopp instantly took out another mechanical device from his backpack and took out four snail-shaped shells to install on it.

"Zombies really have terrifying vitality! One hundred million volts only charred their skin and shattered their teeth. Even the paralysis brought by lightning had little effect on them."

"The Wind Cannon only made a small hole in his abdomen without piercing through, this is absolutely unacceptable! Merry, activate Battle Plan Seventeen! Mechanical Giant King Kong!" Franky roared angrily, staring at the hole he had opened that had no effect on the giant in front of him.

"Do you want it that way?"

“That’s right! Giant enemies need giant weapons to fight!” Franky shouted, staring at the red zombie that was trying to stand up again.

"Alright, I'll go find the materials. I don't have many on me!"

"Merry, up there!" Angelia patted Merry on the shoulder and pointed to the giant chain spanning the sky, giving a hint.

"Up there!" Following her prompting, Merry, equipped with golden mechanical eyes, looked up and immediately spotted the iron chain spanning the sky. She turned and exchanged a glance with Franky, both nodding in agreement with delight in each other's eyes. They then leaped into the sky.

Chapter 152 Dawn!

As the force of the projectile gradually dissipated, Zoro's entire body began to be pulled downwards by gravity. Wado Ichimonji remained calmly pressed against his back, his eyes fixed on the enormous head below. Pale blue flames began to burn around his body.
