One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 38 A knife kills faster than a fist

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A knife kills faster than a fist.

Just as Mu Chong was pondering how to handle the situation, Jora on the other side didn't give him any extra time to think.

dong dong dong...

Jorah's obese body made a thumping sound as he ran on the cobblestones, each step seeming to crush several paving stones.

"Hooray!! Heroic young master, come with me! The young master will be very happy to see you!!"

As Jorah charged toward Mu Chong, he made unpleasant giggling noises.

"Damn it, even if I refuse now, do you think you're going to give up and charge at me like that, fat woman?"

Mu Chong shifted his feet, his Observation Haki instantly enveloping Jora. While Jora's speed wasn't fast, his Art-Art Fruit ability was something he couldn't ignore.

"Hehehe! In that case, let me personally take you back to meet the young master!"

Jorah finally dropped his feigned smile, his face instantly turning grim, making his already obese face even more hideous.

Before Jorah could finish speaking, he was already in front of Mu Chong, his massive fist aimed directly at Mu Chong's face.

"We have to get out of the way!!"

Mu Chong muttered a complaint, because he clearly saw the pink smoke enveloping the fist. He then suddenly exerted force with his feet, his figure quickly disappearing beneath Jora's punch.

"You think you can get away? Oh ho ho ho!!"

"Destructive art!"

As Jorah introduced himself, a large cloud of transparent foam flew towards Mu Chong, its speed significantly faster than before, directly hitting the nearby Mu Chong.

"shave!"

As soon as Mu Chong regained his footing, he pushed off again, moving to the side to avoid the large patch of foam. Without pausing, he charged straight at Jora.

"Hooray! Not hiding anymore? Come on, come into my arms!!"

Jorah, facing Mu Chong's attack, made no attempt to block, but instead opened his arms and awaited Mu Chong's arrival.

"Damn it! This is a horrible Devil Fruit ability!!"

Mu Chong stopped abruptly in place. His Observation Haki sensed that Jora's open arms were filled with a transparent mist; if Mu Chong's fist touched that substance, it would instantly turn into art.

To be fair, Doflamingo's judgment is pretty good; even his subordinates have such troublesome Devil Fruits.

"Hooray! So you've given up, hero? Then obediently come back with me to see the young master!!"

Jorah watched Mu Chong's reaction with satisfaction; she had absolute confidence in her Devil Fruit ability.

"Phew, that won't do, Jorah. I have my own things to do, so let Tenyasha wait for now!"

Mu Chong took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. He had indeed been reluctant to reveal too much of his abilities, but in that instant, his thoughts became clear, and his eyes brightened.

"Hooray! I won't allow you to disrespect my young master!"

dong dong dong! !

Jorah charged at Mu Chong again, his palms billowing with thick smoke.

"Then let's fight!!"

Without hesitation, Mu Chong instantly covered his fist with Armament Haki, extending it all the way to his forearm. Then, he propelled himself forward like an arrow released from a bow.

As the two made contact, Mu Chong even saw Jorah's triumphant smile, but the next moment, Jorah's smile vanished.

Shaved

boom!

Mu Chong shifted sideways, and Jorah managed to regain her balance and turn towards him, but what awaited her was a pair of black fists coated in Armament Haki. With a single, powerful blow, Jorah was instantly sent flying backward.

However, Mu Chong's attack did not stop there. He pressed close again, his speed incredibly fast. Jora was still enduring the pain in her abdomen when Mu Chong's fist struck her face once more.

boom!

Another heavy punch, imbued with Armament Haki, distorted the fleshy features of Jora's face.

boom! boom! boom!

"Ugh... Ugh... Damn it!"

Then came a barrage of punches, like those from a machine gun, striking various parts of Jora's body. His entire body swung through the air like a kite with a broken string, swaying with each blow.

Boom!

boom!

Click!

The storm of attacks ended, and Mu Chong kicked him one last time, slamming him against the wall beside the street. Jorah smashed through the wall and was buried under the collapsed building.

clap clap...

"All done, call it a day!!"

Mu Chong clapped his hands, a smile appearing on his face, and muttered to himself. Although he said this, he didn't immediately turn and leave, because according to his Observation Haki, Jora was still alive.

"The strong characters in the One Piece world generally possess quite good physiques. The damage caused by ordinary blunt weapons is actually not significant. They have thick skin and flesh, as well as terrifying regenerative abilities. Therefore, they still need to get a sword!"

Mu Chong stared at the dusty ruins, frowning in thought. Although his attacks on Jora were incredibly dense and imbued with Armament Haki, judging from his Observation Haki, Jora's injuries weren't fatal.

"If it were a knife, and I were to slash so many times at once, the opponent would definitely die if they couldn't protect their vital points. So, let's get a knife. Besides, my swordsmanship isn't bad either! Hehehe!"

At that moment, a smile flashed through Mu Chong's mind, recalling his words from the Freedom's lounge: "Although I am a Devil Fruit user, I am also a swordsman. The two are not contradictory. You have mastered all my swordsmanship, and now you have obtained a Devil Fruit. I hope that these two abilities will double your strength."

"You damned brat, how dare you beat me up like this! I'm going to turn you into a work of art, a work of art that can never be restored!!"

Jora finally emerged from the ruins again, but this time she was clearly no longer the radiant woman she had been before. Her hair was disheveled, she was covered in dust, and blood was still dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"It seems there's a reason for being overweight. This body of fat is practically a natural shield. Such a heavy blow only resulted in him spitting out a mouthful of blood??"

Mu Chong became even more determined to get his own knife.

Before Mu Chong could think further, the enraged Jorah charged forward, shouting the names of his moves as if afraid his opponent wouldn't know them.

Mu Chong, however, didn't tolerate her bad habits. He raised his right hand towards Jora and suddenly pressed his palm down.

"Gravity field!"

Jora, who had been running, suddenly felt his whole body become heavy, each step feeling as if it weighed a ton.

"Damn it! What's this? A Devil Fruit ability? You're a Devil Fruit user too?"

At this moment, Jorah's eyes began to look unnatural; surprise slowly turned into terror, because he realized he couldn't move.

"Let's end this! It's pointless!"

As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, his body vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Jora the next moment.

A fist coated in Armament Haki slammed directly into the opponent's face, followed by another barrage of attacks. Faced with such a fierce assault, Jora was utterly powerless to retaliate. Even when he could react, his heavy body severely hampered his movement.

bang bang bang...

He was practically a human punching bag; every punch sank deep into chunks of flesh.

boom!

Another heavy punch sent Jorah flying through the air, crashing into the wall and burying him in the rubble.

This time, Mu Chong didn't stop. Instead, he stood still and raised his right hand, unleashing his Power-Power Fruit ability towards the ruins.

Pieces of rubble rapidly converged towards the center, whether they were pieces of wood or stone slabs, as if drawn together by some central object. Until all the rubble had gathered, a massive sphere, approximately three meters in diameter, appeared on the streets of Magic Valley Town.
