One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 14 Are you humiliating me?

Quetzalcoatlus.

The largest flying animal in prehistoric times, the king of the sky.

Its enormous size, exceeding seventeen meters, is indeed astonishing.

At this moment, the lieutenant colonel had completely lost his composure: "How is that possible? Shouldn't pterosaurs have gone extinct long ago?"

"idiot."

But at that moment, Brigadier General Lanley stepped forward: "Look at its head."

head?

The lieutenant colonel was taken aback when he heard this, and then he noticed.

On its head, which was very small compared to its enormous body, was a strange rooster mask—the mask extended along its beak, making it look rather odd.

But without a doubt, that speaks volumes.

"This guy is a power user."

Brigadier General Lanley quietly drew his conclusion.

"An ability user? That means—he's human?"

The lieutenant colonel almost immediately exclaimed, "Could it be the one that attacked Masterport?"

"I don't know about that."

Lan Li chuckled, then slightly raised the greatsword in his hand: "You may leave."

"What are you saying?"

The lieutenant colonel was taken aback upon hearing this, then gripped his musket tightly: "Now that it's confirmed that the other party is the attacker, of course I will fight alongside you."

"Idiot! This guy is no match for you."

Lanley glanced at the lieutenant colonel and waved his hand: "Leave immediately and check on the damage and casualties at other bases—I'll handle this guy."

"but."

The lieutenant colonel was clearly still somewhat hesitant.

But at that moment, Lan Li roared, "No buts—in my hometown, stopping a man from fighting a strong man is a capital offense!"

"."

So where exactly is your hometown?

The lieutenant colonel cursed inwardly, but still resolutely obeyed the order and turned to flee.

And so, within the forest.

Only Brigadier General Lanley looked up at the enormous creature in the sky.

Aren't you going to stop him from leaving?

He gripped the greatsword in his hand and grinned.

"no need."

At that moment, the enormous creature in the sky actually laughed.

“My mission is to take away the Heavenly Gold here, so—all I need to do is deal with you.”

Upon hearing this, Brigadier General Lanley's smile deepened: "You really dare to say that."

As he spoke, his right hand was already resting on the hilt of the knife.

"If you want to deal with me, you'll have to get past this 'Changguang' first!"

next moment.
"Qiang!"

A clear, crisp sound came, and silver light shimmered.

That was the glint of a blade.

"Volcano Flow - Flying Slash!"

With a sword cry that tore through the air, a massive, silver-white slash was clearly unleashed from the tip of the greatsword 'Nagamitsu' in Renly's hand.

The slash came from the tip of the blade and shot straight into the sky!
This silently testifies to Renly's strength.

A flying slash, and refined to this extent—looking across the vast ocean, he is truly a top-tier swordsman!
"laugh!"

In an instant, the flying slash accurately struck the massive right wing of the Pteranodon.

A slight smile appeared on Renly's lips.

"Being too big is not a good thing."

He knew very well that his strike was enough to slice a small boat in half.

"I just need to wait for him to fall from the sky, then I'll..."

He had even begun to think about how to deal with the other party next.

But just a moment later, his thoughts and smile froze simultaneously.

Because at this moment
"boom!"

As the dust settled, Renly was astonished to see that the enormous pterosaur was still soaring through the sky.

The giant wing that had been slashed showed no signs of injury.

The smooth wing membrane gleamed with a cold, hard luster like rock under the sunlight, with only a faint white mark indicating the presence of the slash just now.

"It's incredibly hard!"

As a result, Renly's expression became completely serious.

With just this one strike, he realized that this battle would not be easy.

His flying slashes could not injure his opponent, and the opponent's ability to fly meant that most of his other sword techniques would be difficult to hit.

Ultimately, this is the biggest advantage of Flying-type Devil Fruits.
"Um!?"

But just as Lanli was thinking of a solution, he saw the enormous creature in the sky move!
His enormous pterosaur body rapidly shrank and deformed before Renly's astonished eyes!
In the blink of an eye, the colossal shadow that blotted out the sky disappeared.

Instead, a figure landed with a thud.

"Boom!"

The heavy thud caused the ground to tremble slightly, creating a shockwave.

What appeared before Renly was a humanoid monster nearly three meters tall.

He still wore his iconic rooster mask, and his body retained the basic outline of a human, but was covered with rock-like blue-gray dragon scales.

Its arms transformed into thicker, more powerful dragon claws with sharp claws and wing membranes, while its legs became strong, powerful, reverse-jointed animal feet.

A thick dragon tail swayed slightly behind it.

That was Roy's human-beast form from the 'Wind God Wyvern Fruit'.

"You bastard."

Seeing this, Lan Li felt extremely angry.

The veins on his hand, which was gripping the knife, were bulging from the force.

"Are you trying to humiliate me!?"

To deliberately give up air superiority is clearly an insult!
"Quite the opposite."

Roy said softly.

"I just thought you could let me move around a bit."

As he spoke, he twisted his neck, making a crisp 'click' sound.

Then, he smiled and looked at Renly: "Ready? Let's begin!"

"you"

Renly was about to say something.

But a moment later, he swallowed his words back down his throat.

Because in the next instant, he discovered that the other person's figure had disappeared.

"Shave!? That was fast!"

Lan Li was taken aback, but didn't have time to think further.

His Observation Haki had already detected the enormous, violent power beside him.

"Volcanic Flow - Iron Defense!"

Without hesitation, Renly used his greatsword as a shield to block the attack to the side.

An invisible force covered the katana.

That was one of the most peculiar powers on this ocean – Armament Haki!

The next moment, the huge wing claws slammed into the katana.

"clang!"

With a deafening roar like the clash of metal and the burst of sparks, Lan Li was instantly blasted away, crashing heavily into the trunk of a giant tree.

"A combination of Armament Haki and iron body? And it's even incorporated into swordsmanship?"

At this moment, Roy said with great interest, "This is Lieutenant General Fire Mountain's sword technique, 'Volcano Style,' truly remarkable!"

And it was precisely at the moment his words fell that
"You bastard, don't be so arrogant!"

Inside the tree trunk, Renly's figure had already rushed out once again.

"Since you've chosen to engage in close combat, don't expect me to hold back my Volcanic Flow: Ten Storms!"

His figure also disappeared from the spot with a 'whoosh'—as a naval commodore, his skill in using the shave technique was naturally quite good.

The next moment, he appeared beside Roy.

The imposing greatsword in his hand transformed into streaks of silver, slashing wildly towards Roy's vitals with incredible speed and cunning.

"Not holding back?"

Roy responded with a light laugh, "That suits me perfectly."

And so the great battle began!
