"Argh!"
Splash!
The Fox Agent couldn't stop the punch. He tried using Tekkai or Armament Haki, but Chopper's fist had already reached his chest.
When he tried to use those skills, he realized that Chopper wasn't even touching him.
Armament Haki was an invisible armor. It didn't just exist for defense. It was also an offensive move.
It could work like a projectile or even a repulsive force. That's how Rayleigh portrayed his Haki.
Armament Haki was neither a projectile nor a repulsive force, but one could use Armament Haki in those directions.
After all, Armament Haki was one's willpower manifested as a raw energy.
When that punch struck his chest, he felt a powerful impact, not from Chopper's strength but from his Haki.
It didn't break him from inside, but rather inflicted a powerful shockwave that shook him to his very core.
"Internal Destruction?"
The damage caused Fox Agent to cough out blood while trying to stand up on his foot. He stared at Chopper in shock as he continued.
"No, that shouldn't be Internal Destruction. But, it did have an External Release. How old is this guy? How can he learn such a powerful move?"
At this moment, he understood Gorosei's intention. Although they didn't mention his crew that much, he believed they knew about this crew's potential.
He was wrong about this. They only cared about Luffy.
But he wasn't wrong about their potential. Every Straw Hat had an immense amount of potential.
If you compare this crew to the original, one would feel the difference in strength.
Except for the Monster trio, every other Straw Hat was stronger here than in the original.
Not only stronger but also tougher.
Even though only five months had passed since they joined the crew. This was all due to their talent.
Except for Zoro, who always trained, most of the Straw Hats didn't train much in the original.
Especially people like Chopper, Nami, Robin, Sanji, Brook, and Franky.
These people didn't train much, so their strength was based on their experiences and intense battles.
On the other hand, Liam had been training them using specific methods from the first day they joined the crew.
This kind of training was the key to their current growth.
That's why even though Zoro hadn't learn Advanced Haki yet, he was only very short of reaching the heights that his original part reached.
Sanji had grown even more. With his Goro Goro No Mi, he was stronger than Zoro, and his genetics gave him even more advantages.
But since Sanji wasn't that focused on training, Zoro had a clear chance of catching up to him.
As for surpassing him? That should be impossible.
Not to mention their different potentials, both had Conqueror Haki, which was different from the original, where, except for Luffy, only Zoro had Conqueror Haki.
Since everyone trained their best, Chopper wasn't going to lag. He asked Liam for advice, and considering his achievement in Armament Haki, Liam gave him some advice on Advanced Armament and his Paragon Style.
He couldn't manage to reach Internal Destruction, but combined with his shockwave attack of Paragon Style of fighting, he managed to create his own Internal Destruction attack.
"This kind of power is amazing. But it's not enough."
Fox Agent spoke with a cold tone as his wounds began to repair themselves. This was the main benefit of being a Zoan Devil fruit user.
He instantly rushed toward Chopper at alarming speed, making Chopper unable to react.
Of course, it wasn't that Chopper didn't react, but rather he let someone else do the fighting for him.
[Strong Right]
A powerful fist came from the side, making the Fox Agent jump and dodge the attack.
[Soru]
The Fox Agent changed his target and rushed toward Franky, who had already launched a laser towards him.
Because of that, Chopper moved backward.
The Fox Agent didn't dodge the laser this time. He covered his arms with Armament Haki and blocked it.
Boom!
The laser didn't cut through him and exploded upon the collision, covering the entire surrounding area in dust.
Whoosh!
Before Franky could react, the Fox Agent dashed out of the dust and smoke. His suit was barely grazed.
[Shigan]
The Fox Agent reached in front of Franky and thrust his finger. The powerful force came out of his index finger as it touched Franky's chest.
Because of the metallic parts on his chest, the finger didn't injure him, but it did pierce his chest, causing major damage to his chest.
Franky didn't care about this damage instead, he clenched his right fist that had returned to his arm and punched sideways.
The Fox Agent raised his other arm and blocked the punch with rather ease.
"Damn it! Armament Haki."
Franky cursed heavily but didn't give up. He released his Right Arm, pushing the Fox Agent several meters away.
The Fox Agent somersaulted several times before coming to a stop on his legs.
'A doctor pet with a strong fighting style, Armament Haki, and weak Observation Haki. A mechanic with the body like Pacifist but weak Armament Haki and no Observation Haki.'
His eyes fell on different battles happening at the same time, and he concluded.
'Among my colleagues, I can end my battle the fastest. So, let's do this!'
The Fox Agent tightened his gaze and used Soru. His speed surpassed Chopper's Observation Haki, and before he could react, the Fox Agent had already arrived in front of him.
[Rankyaku- Gaicho]
The Fox Agent jumped in front of him and swung his right leg, creating a massive slash from compressed air.
The slash transformed into a large blue bird and rushed toward Chopper.
[Heavy Double Gong]
Faced with such an attack, Chopper couldn't run. He gathered Armament Haki in both of his fists and smashed forward.
Bang!
Two fists and a blue bird collided. The sharp energy from the blue bird tried to cut through Chopper's Armament Haki.
Although it didn't succeed, Chopper also underestimated the sharpness of the attack. As it began to overwhelm his fists, and attacked other parts of his body.
Crack! Bang!
Chopper, faced with sharp air cutting through his arms, changed his legs into those of a reindeer and kicked the slash with all of his strength.
The slash cracked into pieces and fell apart.
[Rankyaku- Five-Headed Fox]
Before Chopper could get some rest, the Fox Agent released another flying slash that slowly transformed into a massive five-headed fox.
This fox was not only bigger than him but also sharper.
But before this attack could reach Chopper, an overwhelming fire blocked its way.
[Incinerate]
Boom!
The movement flames collided with the five-headed fox, causing a massive explosion.
At this moment, Franky walked towards Chopper and said.
"Hey Chopper, don't forget Sanji's intention. As a doctor, you mustn't get injured here."
Chopper shyly rubbed the back of his head and nodded.
"You are right, Franky. I got too excited. Then, let's continue as planned. You defend, I attack."
Franky nodded and said.
"Let's do that combo."
"Really? Right now?"
"Yeah, we need it."
"Let's do it."
Chopper took out a mask and covered his face. Franky turned around and bent down.
Chopper turned into his reindeer form and placed his back limbs on Franky's butt.
[Coup De Boo]
Franky released a massive gas from his butt, smelling worst than fart. But it also gave Chopper enough momentum to launch himself.
By kicking Franky's butt, he jumped into the air and used the pressure from Coup De Boo to launch him towards the Fox Agent.
The explosion had caused several large scale dust to cover the battlefield but Chopper could easily sense Fox Agent with his Observation Haki.
Just when Chopper crossed the explosion site, he was stunned for a moment. The Fox Agent was in front of him but there was another fox Agent flying above Chopper.
"You underestimate the power of Soru and my Zoan Fruit."
Before Chopper could react, the Fox Agent fell from the air with his palms facing downward.
With his palms covered in Armament Haki, he smashed Chopper's back.
Bang!
Chopper couldn't even dodge this attack. His back was broken by the Fox Agent's attack as he fell to the ground with extraordinary speed.
"Cough!"
Chopper coughed out some blood and raised his head. But just before he could stand up, the Fox Agent landed on his back and raised his index finger.
"It's time to end this, pet."
[Shigan]
