Chapter 654 - 654: 654: The Pride of Warriors
Ignored, ridiculed, looked down upon…Usopp had endured all of it from his enemies.
But now, he refused to accept it any longer.
He no longer wanted to stay in the background, relying on his crewmates to draw the attention of powerful foes while he struck from the shadows with clever tricks.
That was his fighting style, yes.
But it did not mean he liked it.
"I, Usopp, am also a brave warrior who can defeat powerful enemies head on!"
A brief pause followed.
"…Probably."
"Stop ignoring me!"
A deep green glow surged within his eyes as his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a towering treant.
"A giant's height, I can match it!"
With a fierce roar, the massive wooden body grew until it nearly matched the height of a Giant.
"Come and fight me! If I, Shirogai, Monkey D. Luffy, and Roronoa Zoro become strong enough…"
The treant lunged forward, his vine formed fist slamming into the startled Giant's face.
"Then you won't ignore me anymore, right!"
Bang!
The Giant was sent flying, crashing through trees as dust erupted into the air.
Boom!
"A good punch… but far too weak!"
The Giant rose again, unfazed, and charged forward with a roar. His massive fist slammed into Usopp's face.
"This is a true warrior's punch! Witness the pride of Elbaf, intruder!"
Bang!
Usopp staggered back, his massive wooden frame shaking, but he did not fall.
"That hurts!"
With a pained shout, he charged again, swinging his vine bound fist with full force.
"Elbaf's pride? Don't underestimate the pride of our pirate crew! Take this, Pirate Crew's Anger!"
The two giants clashed repeatedly.
No dodging. No hesitation.
Just fists meeting flesh and wood in a relentless exchange.
Each took a hit, then returned one without retreating.
"What kind of fight is this…"
From a safe distance beneath a tree, Nami watched with clear disdain.
To her, it looked less like a warrior's duel and more like two stubborn fools refusing to step aside.
They were not even trying to dodge.
Just standing there and trading blows like it meant something profound.
She sighed softly.
Men really did insist on proving their strength in the most exhausting ways.
With a flick of her hand, the surrounding gold reshaped itself into a thin platform beneath her feet. Standing atop it, she lifted into the air and moved toward Zoro, who was currently holding off three Giants at once.
Perhaps he needed help.
Although she had mastered the power of her Devil Fruit and defeated many strong opponents within the Big Mom Pirates, Nami still disliked fighting.
Especially when it involved using gold.
Every strike felt like throwing away something precious.
Unless necessary, she preferred to avoid combat altogether.
Boom!
A massive stone hammer crashed into the ground, flattening a stretch of forest.
Yet it missed its target.
A small figure darted through the battlefield with incredible agility, weaving between attacks like a flash of yellow light.
In an instant, Tony Tony Chopper appeared beneath a Giant's torso.
Swish!
His antlers suddenly expanded, growing larger and sharper.
"Antler Reinforcement: Double Wheel Moon!"
