The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"ROAR—!"

"That is…"

"A new form?"

"It's completely different from the beast form shown in the World Economy News before…"

"Wait, isn't the Quetzalcoatl supposed to have no claws? Why does it look similar to the Azure Dragon from earlier?"

"This… this kind of monster…"

For a moment, everyone present—whether from the Fallen Angel Pirates, the World Government, or even Rocks and the Gold-Silver-Copper Trio—was left stunned.

Their eyes widened as they gazed at the massive and oppressive creature towering over the battlefield. Sweat dripped from their faces as they struggled to process the terrifying transformation before them.

The Azure Dragon from earlier had already been awe-inspiring. But compared to the overwhelming presence of this monstrous new form of El, the dragon seemed hollow and insignificant.

The primal and savage aura emanating from him was enough to make one's blood run cold—especially the suffocating Haki, stronger than anything they had ever encountered. It sent shivers down their spines and left their heads buzzing in fear.

"CLANG—!"

A massive blade collided with a colossal fist.

"Ma-ma-ma-ma, what incredible Haki!"

Facing off against Steel Bone Kong, Linlin laughed eerily, even as she retreated from their clash. She gazed up at the awe-inspiring figure dominating the sky—a creature resembling a dragon or even a mythical Winged Dragon—and grinned maliciously.

Although this transformation didn't drastically increase El's strength, it was like a special key granting him access to multiple evolved forms. By harnessing the effects of Rumble Balls, combined with the Life Return technique, El had perfected the ability to adjust his transformation wavelengths.

This allowed him to merge the best features of his hybrid and full beast forms into a brand-new complete form. Over time, through relentless trial and error, El had mastered these transformations entirely. Now, he could seamlessly shift between forms without the need for Rumble Balls.

"That guy… El really is something else…"

Having just exchanged a powerful blow with Fleet Admiral Hammons William, the exhausted Kaminari Oka retreated to Linlin's side. Panting heavily, he wiped sweat from his brow and muttered, "I could never do that."

He had tried using Rumble Balls before, but compared to El's level of mastery, his attempts felt embarrassingly clumsy.

"What a monster…"

On the opposing side, Steel Bone Kong, Hammons William, and the other leaders stood solemnly, their eyes narrowing in trepidation.

While El's massive complete form made him a seemingly easy target—like the now-defeated Saint Muner—the situation wasn't so simple.

This was El, a Lunarian, capable of withstanding devastating blows with his nearly invulnerable body. Combined with his Quetzalcoatl Form, his defense had reached near-unbreakable levels. Unless he let his guard down, injuring him would be nearly impossible.

…

"What's going on?"

"Big Brother El's transformation looks completely different now!"

Even those who had seen El's previous complete form, like Lily and Lillian, were visibly shocked.

"It's the result of Dr. Kureha's Rumble Ball, which alters the transformation wavelengths of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users," Tsuru explained calmly, now leading their combined force.

In her Beast Form, supported by the Mythical Zoan Okuchi no Makami, Tsuru remained vigilant while keeping an eye on her opponent from the Holy Knights. She continued, "You can think of it as similar to the rampaging monster forms caused by Rumble Ball overdoses, like those experienced by Moss and Baka. However…"

She paused, her tone filled with admiration. "El used his immense strength and unshakable willpower to fully tame and control that power."

Even Tsuru herself, as a Mythical Zoan user, had experimented with Rumble Balls. Though she had gained access to multiple new transformation stages, she had yet to achieve the level of mastery where she could freely shift into forms beyond the standard three transformations of Zoan users without assistance.

…

"Is this… the legendary Quetzalcoatl?"

"No, this transformation seems different from what was reported!"

"Tch, every one of these transformations is truly outrageous!"

Roger exclaimed in awe. Even Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban, despite their shock, couldn't help but stare with burning curiosity and longing.

"When will we, the Roger Pirates, truly qualify to face such powerful foes head-on?"

"ROAR—!"

However, there was no time for prolonged astonishment.

The monstrous Saint Valkyrie, transformed into a colossal Fengxi, let out an earth-shaking roar and charged forward.

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

His enormous tusks turned into blazing white beams of light, slicing through the air toward the gigantic El.

"WHOOOOOSH…"

In an instant, the massive Quetzalcoatl spread its wings. A violent gust of wind surged out, nearly knocking nearby marines, CP0 agents, and members of the Fallen Angel Pirates off their feet.

"Parlor tricks, daring to show off in front of me?"

El, in his Quetzalcoatl form, sneered and opened his massive jaws wide.

"CRACKLE… SIZZLE…"

Blinding fire and electricity coiled together like living entities, forming three dazzling beams of destructive light. They shot out like lightning, racing toward their targets.

"BOOM… BOOM…"

The terrifying beams collided fiercely with the razor-sharp tusks, shattering them mid-air. But one beam continued its deadly path, faster than the eye could follow, streaking straight toward the massive boar.

"MOOO…!"

With incredible reflexes, the giant boar compressed its legs and leaped high, narrowly dodging the beam.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

The attack struck the ruins behind it, vaporizing the area in an instant. A fiery explosion erupted, sending waves of heat and debris cascading across the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Gyuki form of Saint Saturn charged forward with terrifying momentum. He unleashed a barrage of green poison spheres, firing them like cannonballs at El.

"WHOOOSH…"

In response, the Quetzalcoatl flapped its enormous wings once again, generating a gale so powerful it blew the poison spheres off their intended course.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

The spheres detonated in the distance, sending fire and thick, acrid smoke billowing into the sky. The explosions left craters in the ground, showcasing their destructive potential. Even those far away were rattled by the shockwaves.

Suddenly, a new threat emerged from beneath the battlefield.

ROAR…

Wrapped in black smoke, a massive Sand Worm with rows of jagged, menacing teeth burrowed through the ground at incredible speed. Its objective was clear: bypass El and target the others.

"ROAR…!"

But before it could reach its destination, the earth split apart beneath it, and the Sand Worm let out a pained howl.

From the fissures in the ground, towering vines—each as thick as a ship's mast and covered in sharp, menacing barbs—burst forth. These iron-like thorned vines coiled around the massive worm, their barbs piercing its flesh with ruthless precision.

The creature writhed in agony, its blood staining the ground as it was dragged into the air by the vines.

"WHOOOSH…"

From all directions, more of the vicious, thorn-covered vines emerged, snaking toward the Gyuki form of Saint Saturn and the Fengxi format of Saint Valkyrie.

"CLANG!"

The clash of claws sharper than steel against the boar's iron-hard hide echoed across the battlefield.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

The colossal Fengxi stumbled backward under the relentless assault, only to find itself surrounded by a relentless barrage of thorned vines tearing through the earth.

"These Iron Thorn Vines from Elbaf are extraordinarily tough," El's voice boomed coldly, resonating through the battlefield.

Standing tall in his monstrous form, El continued with a smirk, "Even the mightiest Giant Warriors struggle to tear them apart. And these vines carry a unique venom—not fatal, but potent enough to cause excruciating pain to even the strongest beings."

Using his Mythical Zoan abilities, El manipulated the deadly plants to relentlessly attack his three monstrous opponents.

"WHOOOSH…"

With a single powerful flap of his wings, the Quetzalcoatl soared high into the skies. His enormous form seemed to blot out the sun as he hovered above the battlefield.

From his vantage point, El looked down at the chaos below, where the five Elders struggled to fend off the thorned vines.

"This," he declared with a chilling laugh, "is my specially prepared welcome gift for you!"

El had anticipated this confrontation long before it began. To ensure his advantage, he had transported a significant quantity of Iron Thorn Vine seeds from Elbaf. Over the weeks leading up to the battle, he carefully planted and nurtured them beneath the island's surface, creating a hidden death trap.

When Saint Ju Peter attempted to burrow underground, he unknowingly triggered the snare.
