Chapter 154.3 : Cracker Defeated!!

"Master…"

Surtur timidly glanced back at Ian.

"Fight, Surtur. Battle form."

Ian commanded.

His words were like an order, instantly flipping a switch inside Surtur.

Roar!!

Brilliant golden flames erupted from the tiny body of the fire spirit in an instant.

The next moment, Surtur's small body suddenly expanded.

"Oh! It's gotten bigger!!"

Yamato exclaimed.

"It changed color!"

Hancock was also stunned.

At this moment, Surtur, who had emerged from the flames, had grown from the size of a basketball into a giant form, now over twenty meters tall.

His body had shifted from red to golden yellow, while his originally golden eyes, along with the horns on his head, which had expanded and become sharp, had turned red.

His body stretched out, becoming closer to an adult's size, though his legs and torso still appeared slender.

His arms had grown longer and larger, now resembling huge arm armor, with fingers that had become extremely sharp, like beastly claws.

"Let me turn you to ash!"

Even his voice had deepened significantly, as he looked down at Cracker and roared, "How dare you stand against my master? You're walking to your own doom!"

Ian's lips curled slightly.

It wasn't just his size that had changed, was it?

"Oh!"

Yamato's eyes sparkled. "So cool!!"

Ian grinned.

Could it not be cool?

I specially adjusted it.

"Turn to ash! Ant!"

Surtur's massive claws shot toward Cracker.

Boom!!

Brilliant golden flames erupted from his hands, and the surrounding temperature skyrocketed to an alarming level.

Cracker's expression changed instantly.

This temperature wasn't something the biscuit could withstand. It would evaporate immediately!

A biscuit shield appeared on the hand of Cracker's armor, with a dark, domineering aura covering it.

Boom!!

A massive claw smashed onto the shield, causing Cracker to stagger back repeatedly.

The power was indeed impressive, but the explosive force of the flames was just too overwhelming!

Ian chuckled lightly.

Naturally.

Surtur was essentially his avatar, and the little guy's flames were bound to him.

As for why the flames were golden, it's simply because the destructive red flames were an ascension of the golden flames, with the concept of destruction added on top.

Surtur, in his incarnation of the Flame of Sun God's Wrath, of course, had the ability to use golden flames.

And now, it wasn't yet time to use the red flames.

After blocking Surtur's strike, Cracker wasn't just on the receiving end; he quickly retaliated with a sword strike that severed Surtur's body in two.

But that was meaningless.

After all, like Zeus and Prometheus, Surtur didn't have a physical body. Even an attack infused with Haki couldn't harm him.

Only a soul attack from Brook or Aunt Linlin herself would work.

Elementalization?

Enel widened his eyes.

This guy's also a Logia-type?

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Cracker's face darkened, and he began clapping repeatedly.

A large amount of cookie crumbs flew from the palms of his cookie armor, quickly forming cookie soldiers around the Fire Spirit.

But.

"Watch me burn you all to ash!!"

Surtur roared with all his might.

Boom!!

Brilliant golden flames erupted from him like a tidal wave.

In an instant, all the cookie soldiers were engulfed by the flames and burned to nothing.

Even the deck of the Queen Mama Chanter was instantly burned through, creating a massive hole.

"Mmm!!"

Even Cracker's main body could only block the flames with his shield.

The power of this flame is absurd!

But!

Cracker suddenly looked up.

To think you could defeat me like this, you're quite the dreamer!

He stood like a reef in the midst of a sea tide, parting the surging waves with a crack.

He remained firm and unyielding!

Haki!

Ian smiled and said, "Surtur, give it your all."

"Yes, Master!"

Surtur's voice was like thunder.

In the next moment, the color on its body flipped drastically.

Its body turned a deep crimson, and its eyes and horns became golden.

"You're finished! Fool!"

The giant of flames roared, its massive claws reaching for the biscuit armor.

Cracker tried to block with his shield, but the moment the dark shield met Surtur's blood-red claws, the dark Haki covering the shield exploded.

Then, the biscuit shield was obliterated.

The dark claws drove straight in.

The biscuit armor couldn't even resist, shattering in the next instant.

All that remained was Cracker, with a face full of confusion, staring at the claws reaching for him.

His face was full of bewilderment.

However, Surtur's claw missed.

"Huh?"

Surtur looked around, confused.

Where did that guy go?

"Ha!!"

Cracker exhaled in relief.

He was hanging upside down in mid-air, his feet connected to a tentacle made of mochi.

Katakuri's face was serious.

It was close—Cracker was nearly erased into nothingness!

Fortunately, he had foreseen the future and pulled Cracker back in time.

What terrifying flames! What terrifying Homie!

What kind of monster did Mama create?

A thought couldn't help but emerge in Katakuri's mind.

Can I defeat this Homie?

Even Linlin's expression turned serious.

Even Cracker's Armament Haki couldn't withstand the destructive power of these flames?

Did she create a Homie that was much stronger than her own three main Homies?

"I found it!"

Surtur finally located Cracker, shouting, "Do you think you can escape?"

"Alright, Surtur," Ian spoke at this moment, "That's enough, you've already won."

"But Master!"

Surtur was still a little unwilling, "I haven't burned him to ashes yet!"

A bit too aggressive, huh? Who exactly are you like?

"I said, that's enough."

Ian said.

Surtur froze for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Yes! Master!"

Its massive body instantly shrank, transforming back into its little sprite form.

"Master! I'm so scared!"

The little sprit immediately rushed toward Ian, curling up in his arms, trembling, "That guy is so scary!"

Cracker was trembling in anger.

He almost got killed by this thing?

"Oh!!"

Yamato exclaimed in astonishment, "Amazing! It can use your destructive flames, Ian!"

It truly was amazing!

All of the little companions were incredibly surprised.

So easily defeating a high-ranking member of the Charlotte family, Cracker?

Law couldn't help but glance at Yamato and Hancock.

Does that mean these two are probably no match for that little spirit?

"Interesting, right?"

Ian gently stroked the little spirit in his arms.

The greatest significance of Surtur is that it can also use the Sun God's Wrath.

Though this fire consumes a lot of its energy, once it runs out, Ian has to replenish the flames for it.

But, it's enough.

After all, Surtur itself is already like a free use of the Sun God's Wrath Fire.

Not to mention, as long as Ian can keep supplying the flames, Surtur can keep using the Sun God's Wrath, without Ian needing to transform into the Phoenix form.

"Hehehehe! Truly an amazing ability!"

Dorry couldn't help but look at Linlin, "You were able to create such an incredible creation?"

Linlin, who had originally been frowning due to Surtur's power, instantly brightened up upon hearing Dorry's question.

"Mama, Mama! It's nothing! If you want, I can help you too!"

Ian, well done!
