With a flash of light filled with mystery and a sense of nature, countless tiny vines suddenly shot out from Usopp's waist.

They grew and intertwined rapidly, as if they were alive, dancing and weaving around Usopp's body.

In the blink of an eye, these vines, emitting a faint dark green light, tightly wrapped around Usopp's body, like a gift from the forest, forming an armor-like shape to protect him firmly.

And this is just the beginning!

The enormous fireball was falling from the sky, hurtling towards Usopp's location.

With another thought, he used grass-attribute energy as a link to control the Green Goblin Belt and release a burst of icy power.

呲——

A burst of azure energy erupted from the very center of the belt, and following the veins, quickly transformed Usopp's armor into a sheet of ice crystals.

"Ultimate Move - Ice Demon: Guardian!"

Usopp suddenly crossed his arms in front of him.

Countless streams of icy energy suddenly sprouted from his body like leaves, forming a massive shield that protected him.

boom!!!

The sun fell, crashing against the ice crystal shield.

In an instant, a shockwave emanated from Usopp and spread outwards in all directions.

Despite the hundreds of times difference in size between the two, the terrifying, blazing flames were gradually shrinking in front of Usopp's shield.

A few dozen seconds later, a wisp of pale white vapor suddenly emanated from in front of Usopp, drifted into the night sky, and disappeared.

"Whew~ We blocked it!"

"Huh?! It actually blocked it!?"

As Usopp withdrew his hand, the ice shield turned into a white mist and dissipated in mid-air.

The two people at the center of this battle immediately expressed their feelings.

Swah——

Amira swung the golden holy sword in her hand, narrowed her eyes, and flapped her wings twice to keep her line of sight at the same level as Usopp.

"No wonder you dared to attack Mary Geoise, it seems you're no ordinary pirate!"

"Huh!? You can communicate!?"

Usopp, who was originally preparing to switch to his battle form immediately, stopped thinking about changing his form when he saw that Amira had taken the initiative to approach him.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes and disappeared in an instant.

Usopp, who had a plan in mind, let out a proud laugh:

"hey-hey."

"Of course! I'm going to be a man who will be famous throughout the world—the King of Nature, Usopp!!!"

What?! Usopp, the Swarm of Insects?!

Usopp was already tired of such a casual nickname.

This is a good opportunity to promote the name I like.

Of course, this was not the main reason why Usopp stopped attacking.

After introducing himself, Usopp's gaze shifted, and dark green eyes gleamed beneath his Green Goblin armor.

"You said you're a member of some knightly order!?"

"But I've been fooling around here for so long, why are you the only one who's trying to stop me?"

"The holy land of the Celestial Dragons, surely you're not the only strong one there!"

"Ha! I am more than enough to deal with ants like you!"

As if she had mentioned the pride of the Emirati Palace, her white wings suddenly unfurled.

"I am the Vice Commander of the Knights of God, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, Mythical Zoan type, Angel form, wielding the power of punishment and protection!"

"As long as I am here, any petty person who dares to challenge the authority of the World Government will be reduced to ashes!!!"

As she spoke, a holy light suddenly shone from Amyra Palace's eyes, and then shot towards Usopp in an instant.

The beam was so fast that even Usopp, who had been focused on her, didn't have time to react and was hit directly by it.

"Hmph! Idiot! You think I came near you to chat?!"

"You have been struck by my holy mark! From now on, all my attacks will inflict double the pain on you!"

"And as long as you live, the mark on you will remain forever!"

"Even if you leave Mary Geoise, I can still sense your location through the sacred markings!"

"That is to say..."

"Your fate is already sealed!"

"The same ability as Crimson?"

Usopp was stunned when he saw Emirati Palace brandish the holy sword in her hand again.

He had always been the one who used Crimson to scare others with some kind of mental mark, never expecting that he himself would one day be marked.

However, seeing that Amyra Palace was about to swing her sword, he quickly erected another ice shield, then watched Amyra Palace charging towards him with a glint in his eyes.

boom!!!

A fierce and holy slash suddenly tore through the night sky, splitting the darkness in two like a streak of white light.

The next second, Usopp, struck by the slash, suddenly crashed into a castle like a meteor.

"Cough cough..."

Usopp lay on the ruins, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, staring incredulously at the Amyra Palace suspended in mid-air.

"impossible!"

"How can there be such a powerful person as you in this world!?"

"And... you're saying you're just the vice commander of the Knights of God!? How is that possible?!"

Usopp was terrified and panicked as he stared at the Palace of Amyra in the sky. Even through the Green Goblin's armor, one could sense his fear.

"Oh."

Amira, who had broken through Usopp's defense with a full-force attack, let out a cold laugh:

"An ant is just an ant! Even if you possess power, you're still nothing more than a frog in a well!"

There are countless strong people in this world!

"Even among the three vice commanders, I am not the strongest, let alone the incomparably powerful commander!"

"But these things have nothing to do with you anymore."

Pay the price for your ignorance!

boom!!!

The Palace of Emirati once again adopted a stance of brandishing a sword.

Perhaps it was after two tests that she mistakenly believed that Usopp was more afraid of sword strikes than elemental attacks.

However, to her surprise...

Despite being on the verge of death, Usopp showed no fear of his impending demise; instead, he stubbornly argued back:

"impossible!"

"There's absolutely no way such a powerful being could exist in the world!!!"

You're definitely lying to me!

"Otherwise, why was it you who came out to stop me, and not the others you mentioned!"

“Idiot!” Amira looked at Usopp calmly. “That’s because they have a more important mission than stopping you, and they’re not in this holy place right now.”

"Oh?" Usopp's tone suddenly changed: "I see."

The next instant, under the puzzled gaze of Amyra Palace, a sturdy vine suddenly sprouted from Usopp's back, quickly lifting his body off the ground.

He then raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, a sly glint in his eyes.

"If that's what you mean, then there's no point in me acting!"

Usopp dusted himself off and suddenly laughed at the sky:

"Crimson, you were right after all!"

"The Celestial Dragons are a bunch of idiots with no brains!"

"Forehead……"

Under the cover of night, the space suddenly rippled like the surface of a lake where a pebble had been dropped.

Then, a crimson figure suddenly appeared in the night.

He and Usopp, one above and one below, sandwiched the Amyra Palace in the middle.

The suddenly appearing crimson figure looked down at the Emirati Palace with some surprise.

"While I did say that the Celestial Dragons aren't very intelligent, it's astonishing that members of the Knights of God are like this..."

"This is truly something I didn't expect!"

Crimson sighed.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of crimson, Amyra Palace seemed to realize something, and a flush of anger instantly rose on her fair cheeks.

"The intruders...there's more than one!?"

Then she turned her head sharply and glared at Usopp with furious eyes!

"You bastard! You actually tricked me!" Emirla Palace roared in fury!

There is one thing she has never mentioned to anyone!

That was the information that only she knew after obtaining the Angel Fruit...
