"Let me finish this!"
Law flew above Bob at this moment, standing atop a massive earth spike.
Meanwhile, the other enormous earth spikes circled and spun rapidly in the air around Law, moving at blinding speeds like electrified drills.
"Takt!"
Law extended a hand, pointing downward lightly.
Guided by his Devil Fruit ability, the spinning spikes shot straight towards Bob with unerring precision.
Invisible shockwaves rippled outward as terrifying force gathered at the tips of the spikes.
"Dammit!!"
Seeing Law take action and command the massive earth spikes to crash down, Kid roared in frustration.
In an instant, he activated his ability, directing his two-armed Magnetic Force Demon to dart away.
But just then—
The spikes struck Bob, who remained motionless on the spot.
BOOM!!
A deafening explosion erupted from below as the high-speed spikes detonated with violent energy.
Dust and debris scattered in all directions, a circular shockwave expanding from the blast like ripples across water.
"You bastard, were you trying to take me out too?!" Kid, now safely out of range, cursed angrily, his face twisted in resentment.
Meanwhile, Luffy bounced over, hopping around Kid and Law.
This was the unique movement style of his Gear Fourth: Bound Man form.
Amids the chaos, the three of them watched the place where Bob stood, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.
As the dust settled, Bob stood in the center of a massive crater, arms crossed, calmly observing the trio.
Aside from a light coating of dust, he was completely unharmed.
"As expected of Bob!"
"An attack of this level is completely useless!"
Their expressions darkened.
They knew their opponent wouldn't be defeated so easily, but seeing their strongest moves fail to leave even a scratch still left them disheartened.
"I let you have the first move."
"Consider it a greeting from an old-timer to you rookies."
Bob smiled faintly, his eyes fixed on the three as he spoke.
Casually, he brushed the dust off his shoulders.
Then— With a single step, an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from his body.
The crater beneath him expanded instantly, transforming into a gaping chasm dozens of times larger than before.
Cracks radiated outward like shockwaves, spreading across the ground for dozens of meters.
Buildings below trembled as thick layers of dust shook loose from above.
Bob's figure blurred into a streak of light, darting straight towards Kid among the three.
"Shit!!"
Kid barely had time to react as Bob shot towards him like a human cannonball.
In the next moment, he unleashed his devil fruit power in desperation—
But it was too late.
He couldn't gather enough metal in time.
Bob was simply too fast.
"Law!!" Kid shouted loudly towards Law, who had retreated dozens of meters away.
"Room!"
A soft voice echoed in the distance.
The moment Bob made his move, a transparent spherical barrier enveloped the area.
In an instant, Kid's body vanished from his original position and was swapped behind Bob.
At the same time, waves of energy continuously radiated outward from Kid's body.
The piles of metal fragments scattered across the ground, resembling two small hills, trembled under this force, defying gravity as they levitated into the air.
Amidst crackling purple magnetic lightning, the fragments rapidly morphed, forming a colossal mechanical arm in the blink of an eye.
The arm was adorned with sharp metallic spikes that gleamed coldly under the moonlight, their edges razor-sharp.
"Spatial displacement?"
"Still too green!" Bob muttered as he watched Kid suddenly disappear before him.
In the next moment, Bob's figure darting through the air, abruptly changed direction.
A shockwave erupted beneath his feet as he shot straight towards Law's position.
"Bob, your opponent is me!" Luffy roared, his aura surging to its peak.
His muscular frame, now resembling that of a frenzied berserker, erupted with flames mid-air.
"Gum-Gum King Kong Gun!"
With a fierce shout, Luffy's arms became even more densely coated in Armament Haki, his limbs swelling with crimson energy as they pulsated violently.
A storm of raw power gathered around his fists before unleashing a devastating shockwave straight at Bob.
"BOOM!"
A deafening explosion followed, sending invisible shockwaves rippling outward.
The clouds were torn apart as a ring of red energy expanded in all directions.
Like a detonating bomb, it obliterated everything in its path—anything atop the skull-shaped dome that touched this crimson force was instantly reduced to dust.
Yet, in mid-air, Bob effortlessly caught Luffy's full-powered punch with a single hand, his expression unreadable as the wind whipped at his clothes.
Holding Luffy fist felt no different than gripping a helpless dog.
Then, with the slightest flick of his wrist and a twist of his torso, Bob hurled Luffy away like a discarded ragdoll.
Like a cannonball, Luffy streaked across the sky in a red arc before vanishing into the darkness.
"Magnet: Reflect!"
At that moment, Kid—now reassembled from scattered metal—charged in from afar, his body riding streaks of violet magnetic lightning.
With a furious roar, the massive mechanical arm detached from his body mid-flight, hurtling towards Bob like a colossal projectile.
"BOOM!!"
Just before impact, Bob casually flicked his arm, releasing a surge of white shockwaves.
The compressed air erupted with a deafening crack as terrifying energy surged forward.
The ship-sized mechanical arm, before it could even reach Bob, was utterly obliterated by the force of those shockwaves.
Tiny iron fragments appeared in the air, floating aimlessly.
