Above Pirate King - Chapter 100
“Zap!”
A powerful electric current struck Skybreaker, causing electric sparks to flicker on its surface, but it didn’t inflict any damage.
A glint of red light flashed in Skybreaker’s eyes as it pulled the anchor embedded in the ground, spun its body, and hurled it towards Arthur in the sky.
“Whoosh!”
Arthur easily dodged the anchor with a flap of his wings.
“Crack! Crack!”
However, Skybreaker didn’t stop there. It lightly tugged on the iron chain connecting the anchor, causing the anchor to turn in mid-air and come flying towards Arthur once again.
In a normal situation, Arthur could have kicked the anchor away with a single blow, but today he wanted to practice his Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities, so he abandoned that approach.
The anchor swept past Arthur’s body without causing him any harm.
“Boom!”
The anchor that missed Arthur crashed into the ground, creating a large pit.
“Kiten!” (Thunder Beast)
With a gentle wave of his hand, lightning transformed into the shape of a tiger and roared towards Skybreaker.
However, Skybreaker remained unfazed, not even pausing for a second.
It lightly tugged again, retrieving the anchor back into its hand, and then launched it towards Arthur once more.
This time, Arthur wore a serious expression.
Without using elemental transformation, he already knew what would happen in the next second.
If he used elemental transformation, Skybreaker would absorb him as electricity.
It had to be said that Skybreaker’s combat intelligence was quite high, as it had thought of using its own charging ability to absorb elemental transformation.
Fortunately, Arthur had Observation Haki, or else he would have been at a disadvantage.
He stopped flapping his wings and, under the influence of gravity, descended directly from the air, evading the attack.
“30 Million Volt. Hino!” (Thirty Million Volts. Thunder Bird!)
“Zap! Zap!”
In the instant he dodged the attack, lightning gathered into the shape of a bird in Arthur’s hand. Accompanied by the sound of crackling electricity, it flew towards Skybreaker.
Skybreaker’s colossal body of two hundred meters couldn’t easily dodge the attack. It momentarily paused for two seconds.
Opportunity!
A glint of determination flashed in Arthur’s eyes.
His hands moved rapidly, releasing several successive attacks!
“30 Million Volt. Kiten!” (Thirty Million Volts. Thunder Beast)
“30 Million Volt. Hino!” (Thirty Million Volts. Thunderbird)
“60 Million Volt. Jamboule!” (Sixty Million Volts. Thunder Dragon)
“Kirin!”
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
…
Consecutive thunderous roars echoed across the training ground.
Fortunately, this training ground was relatively secluded, and Arthur had given prior instructions; otherwise, such loud thunderous sounds would have attracted attention.
Arthur initially thought that he would keep pummeling Skybreaker like this, but he didn’t expect Skybreaker to still have the ability to fight back.
“Overclocking mode activated!”
Skybreaker, which had been stationary, suddenly emitted mechanical sounds,
A glimmer of red light flashed in its eyes.
Its entire body suddenly radiated a faint blue light, instantly absorbing the electric current unleashed by Arthur’s attacks. Skybreaker also started moving.
“Optical camouflage!”
In the next moment, Skybreaker vanished before Arthur’s eyes.
However, in Arthur’s eyes, the optical camouflage seemed like a joke, completely ineffective!
In the presence of Arthur’s Kenbunshoku Haki, Skybreaker’s massive body, even the slightest movement, would cause a breeze that Arthur could sense, allowing him to determine Skybreaker’s location.
With the sound of chains, an invisible anchor flew towards Arthur.
Using his Observation Haki to determine the anchor’s position, Arthur waited until it flew in front of him. He folded his wings and stepped onto the anchor, preparing to run along the iron chain towards Skybreaker.
“Boom!”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped on the anchor, Skybreaker seemed to have anticipated it. The anchor erupted with a massive electric current, creating a deafening roar!
As a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the electric current naturally didn’t harm Arthur.
However, the intense roar left his ears ringing, and the dazzling electric light blinded him, turning everything white.
For a moment, Arthur was completely stunned.
Before he could react, a tremendous force pulled the entire anchor, dragging him along with it. And at the same time, Skybreaker’s other fist was already prepared.
As Arthur was being pulled over, Skybreaker threw a powerful punch.
With a height of two hundred meters, Skybreaker’s palm was as large as twenty-five meters, and the force behind the punch was astonishing.
Just as it was about to strike Arthur, the fist suddenly stopped.
“Boom!”
It was Arthur who used his black fist to hold back Skybreaker’s fist, creating a tremendous shockwave upon impact.
At this moment, Arthur finally gave up using only the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for attacks and began to fight Skybreaker with his full power.
It must be said that Skybreaker’s combat intelligence far exceeded his expectations.
With his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which he had just begun practicing his combination techniques with, it was a bit difficult to deal with Skybreaker, who had high electrical resistance.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
With Arthur going all out, Skybreaker quickly found himself at a disadvantage, only able to passively endure the attacks. Due to his massive size, Arthur circled around him, and Skybreaker couldn’t keep up with the pace, helplessly enduring the onslaught.
“Huff…”
After a while, Arthur finally stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a deep breath, saying, “Let’s stop here for today.”
“Yes, Master!”
The anchor that Skybreaker was still intending to attack immediately stopped, and the faint blue light on its body disappeared completely.
After half a day of fighting, Arthur had gained a certain understanding of Skybreaker’s strength. He possessed high combat intelligence, strong adaptability, and endurance. Arthur had been hitting him for half a day without causing much damage.
He could also discharge electricity, which had a certain attacking power against Devil Fruit users of the Logia type. In normal combat mode, his strength was roughly at the level of a newly promoted Vice Admiral!
In overclocking mode, his body emitted a blue light, and his strength increased by fifty percent!
After inquiring, Arthur finally understood overclocking mode, which meant disregarding the damage to the body and outputting energy at a high rate, pushing the body’s operating speed to the maximum.
In this mode, energy output increased significantly, causing the body’s energy reserves to deplete rapidly. It forcefully absorbed external energy to replenish the rapidly consumed energy, which was why later on, he could directly absorb Arthur’s electrical current!
Additionally, this mode could only be maintained for half an hour of battle. Due to the forced absorption of external energy and the significant increase in internal energy output, it would cause damage to the body’s energy transport channels.
Once the half-hour limit was reached, it would immediately revert to its original state and require twenty-four hours of recovery before being able to fight again.
Luckily, Arthur had only fought Skybreaker for a little over ten minutes. If they had fought a little longer, Skybreaker would have reverted to its original state forcefully.
“Ah…”
Just then, Arthur yawned, covering his mouth.
During this period, Arthur had been researching the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and hadn’t rested properly. After fighting with Skybreaker, he felt a bit tired and wanted to go back to rest, but before that, he needed to secure Skybreaker.
However, after giving it some thought, Skybreaker’s original form was a yacht, so there was no need to make elaborate arrangements. He could simply leave it on this training ground!
