Chapter 115: Thunder Array - Spirit Cat
Midnight had arrived. The vast, boundless sea was covered by darkness. Only Enies Lobby remained bright, with white clouds unfurling in its blue sky, and white seagulls, symbols of justice, flying past.
"Little Robin and Luffy must be inside," Sanji said, looking up at the giant stone gate before them.
"But! Such a huge gate..."
From atop the King Bulls that had followed behind, the two square-headed sisters spoke up, "There should be some kind of mechanism controlling it. How do we get in?"
"Do you guys really want to go in?"
Reiner couldn't help but turn back and ask. "Anyway, we'll bring your Big Bro back along the way. Why rush in just to get yourselves killed?"
"No way! We absolutely have to go in!"
Zambai ran out, yelling, "Your companions will definitely be very moved to see you! If we're not there at a time like this, Big Bro will surely be very disappointed!"
"You don't need to split your attention protecting us! We all came here fully prepared!"
"Alright, alright, alright."
Reiner waved his hand dismissively. "I can't stand this kind of sentimental stuff."
The Blue and Red Ogres leaped up, each kicking out with one leg to the left and right respectively.
RUMBLE!!
With a tremor, the two giant stone gates were directly blasted open by brute force. However, what awaited them was not a smooth, open road, but swarming soldiers.
Two massive dark figures, one shouldering a giant spiked club, the other wielding a giant axe, charged forward, leading the attack.
"It's the two giants making their move!"
"Go! Oimo and Kashi!"
The two giants clearly provided an enormous morale boost to the Marines behind them, who cheered excitedly, as if under their attack, these intruding pirates would surely meet their bitter end here.
"Pirates! Go die!!"
The club and axe, two enormous weapons, brought with them a howling gale as they smashed down heavily towards Reiner and the others!
However, two dark figures soared into the air, abruptly appearing before them. Plumes on their helmets swayed, one blue and one red cape fluttering, left arms bent, holding large shields, gathering power.
"Th-this is..."
"B-Bosses?"
Seeing these two figures strike a familiar pose, Oimo and Kashi's pupils instantly dilated!
It was as if behind them, two familiar, colossal phantoms had appeared.
Before they could react—
BANG!!
BANG!! A tremendous sound erupted as the round shields slammed hard into the giants' faces. The expected scene of a mayfly trying to shake a mighty tree did not occur.
The two giants, who had been charging forward with unstoppable momentum, were actually sent flying backward even faster, crashing into the crowd behind them, their backs plowing a deep trench in the ground.
They only stopped after smashing through several buildings, kicking up a vast cloud of dust, instantly rendering a large number of soldiers combat-ineffective!
"Th-th-the... GIANTS... were..."
"...SENT FLYING!!!" The entire crowd shrieked, dumbfounded.
"Gulp~" The soldiers swallowed hard, looking incredulously at the Blue and Red Ogres slowly descending from the air, subconsciously taking half a step back.
Thousands of soldiers on the front island...
—Were surrounded by those two!!
"Do not retreat!!"
A middle-aged man wearing a pure white Justice cape, his face weathered, with a handlebar mustache, strode forward, roaring angrily:
"This is Judiciary Island! The Gates of Justice! This is no place for evil! Even if our bodies are crushed to pieces, we must guard it to the very end!"
"Everyone! Charge with me!!"
His two mustache tips trembled with his roar as the man drew his longsword and charged forward first.
"Charge!"
"Follow the Rear Admiral!"
Inspired by the mustached Rear Admiral, the soldiers' faces flushed red with excitement.
Seeing the swarming Marines, Nami actually stepped forward from the rear voluntarily.
"I'll try out my new moves too!"
"Oh? That's rare, Nami," Reiner glanced over, surprised.
Crackle-crackle-crackle!
Arcs of electricity, like snakes, began to dance around Nami's body. The next moment, her entire being transformed into condensed, liquid-like lightning, instantly vanishing from her spot.
When she reappeared, she was already at the front. Flashing electric light illuminated her face, strands of hair flying beside her ears. Behind her, numerous ball lightnings materialized.
Nami twirled the Clima-Tact in her hand, beginning to gather thunderclouds around her, simultaneously waving a slender finger and yelling cutely:
"White Thunder Array: Spirit Cat!"
As her voice fell, dozens, even hundreds, of thunder balls transformed, sprouting heads, tails, and four limbs, then shot out one after another, skimming along the ground, like agile white cats weaving through the soldiers.
More importantly! Each thunder cat was connected to others by a blue lightning chain, instantly ensnaring a large swathe of Marines. Dense electric sparks, accompanied by wails of agony, exploded.
"Ah!!"
"Don't touch those lightning chains!"
"Too fast! Can't dodge at all... Ahh!!"
The speed of the lightning was astonishing. Dozens, even hundreds, of white cats traversed the surging crowd in the blink of an eye. All Marines who were touched were numbed by the berserk lightning.
A vast sea of blue lightning spread out. Countless figures in white uniforms collapsed to the ground, all exhaling white smoke, their skin charred black. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers rolled their eyes back white and lost their ability to fight.
Wide area, high speed, high attack attributes were displayed in their entirety at this moment!
"So strong!!"
"As expected of Big Sis Nami!"
The square-headed sisters, holding bouquets of flowers from who-knows-where, transformed into cheerleaders, jumping and cheering enthusiastically, dancing to support Nami.
Even Zoro, Sanji, and the others were utterly shocked by the strength Nami displayed.
"That damn woman!" Zoro gritted his teeth, staring at Nami. Speed and power combined... can't dodge it, can't tank it.
This ability is practically cheating!
If I don't hurry up and learn Armament Haki, I'm afraid I won't even be able to beat Nami anymore???
"Not done yet!"
Nami shouted. There were too many soldiers in front; although a large number had fallen, the gaps were immediately filled, and they continued to swarm forward.
However, she merely lifted her arm and pointed towards the thunderclouds floating in clusters all around...
Nami smiled cunningly. "My little kitties are still around, you know."
Hearing this, the Marines were instantly alarmed.
The next moment, the thunder cats at the rear instantly turned back, leaping and weaving randomly through the crowd.
Every touch caused a soldier to fall, and the lightning chains connecting the dozens, even hundreds, of thunder cats swept across vast areas, electrocuting enemies.
When their energy was about to dissipate, the thunder cats would merge into the floating thunderclouds around them, then dart out again, crackling with berserk energy.
And as Nami continuously twirled her Clima-Tact, more and more thunderclouds gathered, so dense they eventually covered the entire sky above the front island.
The thunder cats, flashing with blinding white light, wreaked havoc relentlessly, their ferocity showing signs of escalating further. Yet Nami, aside from initially activating the ability, hadn't lost a shred of stamina.
In contrast, hundreds of their opponents were already lying on the ground!
"The energy gradually dissipating from the lightning into the air... is collected by the thunderclouds."
Nami spoke softly, "Once the array is activated, it can almost operate in a zero-consumption state. Moreover, the thunderclouds I create inherently carry energy. As the number of thunderclouds increases..."
She raised her Clima-Tact towards the sky, lightning surging within the dark clouds.
"Myriad Thunders!!"
Nami slammed her long staff down hard. All the berserk lightning, as if commanded, was unleashed without reservation.
Hundreds, even thousands, of lightning bolts struck down with a speed that caught everyone off guard, instantly engulfing the entire front island, people and buildings alike!
—CRACKLE!
"Ah—Ah—Ah!" All the Marines on the field were bathed in golden lightning, crackling sounds exploding as piles of skeletons flashed into view!
As the electric light gradually dimmed, the floating black clouds also exhausted their energy and dissipated with the wind.
"Hic~"
The mustached Rear Admiral, after exhaling a wisp of white smoke, rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground.
Nearly a thousand soldiers... were defeated by Nami in mere minutes, with her barely expending any stamina.
"Heehee! How was that?"
Nami turned back to Reiner, smiling triumphantly. "Not bad, right? Give me a rating."
"Coordinating with the Clima-Tact's thundercloud ability to collect dissipated energy, huh?"
Reiner lifted his crossed arms to adjust his glasses. "It can compensate for some stamina deficiencies, I suppose. However, the power is insufficient, and the upper limit of the output power is a bit lacking. It's completely sufficient for dealing with fodder, but against strong opponents..."
"Oh." Nami's face turned stony. She interrupted him coldly, then, ignoring Reiner, walked straight towards the island's interior.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Reiner, realizing his mistake, quickly chased after her, yelling, "You asked me to rate it! No, I mean, you were amazing, Nami! I love you to death!"
Crackle—Crackle!
"Hic—"
After exhaling a puff of white smoke, Reiner, charred black all over, collapsed beside the mustached Rear Admiral.
(At this time, remaining time until the arrival of the five Vice Admirals—10 minutes!)
