Boom boom boom boom—!!!
The deafening explosion instantly engulfed the location where Sanji was!
Blinding light and billowing dust obscured everything!
Kizaru was truly enraged and planned to teach this arrogant cook a lesson with the most ferocious attack!
Just as the dense, destructive lasers were about to completely engulf Sanji,
A small figure suddenly rushed in front of Sanji!
" Sanji! Let me do it! I can't stand it anymore, my whole body is so itchy!"
"I can't keep a low profile any longer!"
Chopper shouted, his voice filled with a long-suppressed excitement that could finally be released.
He looked at the terrifying laser beams that were sweeping in from all directions, but instead of being afraid, his big, round eyes sparkled as if he were looking at candy!
"Finally... finally I can recharge again!!"
Under the stunned gaze of everyone,
Instead of defending or dodging, Chopper opened his arms wide, puffed out his small, hairy chest, and looked on expectantly at the laser storm that was enough to instantly vaporize steel!
The next moment—
Boom boom boom boom—!!!
Kizaru's all-out " Yasakani no Magatama " landed squarely on Chopper!
The blinding explosion and surging energy instantly engulfed the small reindeer!
" Chopper!!!" Nami and Usopp screamed in terror.
Although I knew in my heart that Chopper was alright, anyone would be terrified if they saw such a terrifying attack!
However,
The scene that was expected— Chopper being blown to pieces—did not occur.
The violent laser energy seemed to vanish the moment it touched Chopper's body, as if it had been swallowed up by some invisible force rather than causing a violent explosion.
A massive energy vortex emanated from Chopper, surging wildly into his body!
Chopper stood at the center of the energy storm, his face showing an extremely comfortable, even somewhat intoxicated expression, as if he were not enduring a devastating attack, but rather soaking in a hot spring or enjoying a sunbath!
"Ahhh~~ That's the feeling!" Chopper sighed contentedly, his little vest even beginning to glow faintly. "Full of energy! Full of energy! Energy is pouring in!"
Kizaru watched as his full-force attack, powerful enough to destroy a warship, was absorbed by a little reindeer like a "power bank," leaving him frozen in mid-air, forgetting even to push his sunglasses back up.
"Huh...huh???" he uttered the most incredulous, shaky sound he had ever made in his life, "Charging...charging???"
Kizaru Borsalino felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He recalled a similar incident that had occurred when he encountered Straw Hat Pirates before...
This seemingly harmless little tanuki appears to be a natural counter to his Glint-Glint Fruit ability!
"Yeah~~~" Kizaru let out a long sigh, utterly helpless and even a little aggrieved. He withdrew his fingers, which were still emitting a faint glow, and the surging energy fluctuations around him quickly subsided.
"Here we go again... Why does it have to be like this all the time..."
He looked down at Chopper, who was still smacking his lips with lingering enjoyment, as if savoring the "deliciousness of light," and felt a headache coming on.
This Benn is impossible to hit!
His main attack methods were ineffective against this little guy. Was he supposed to go up there as an Admiral and use physical skills to fight a pet in close combat?
The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.
If he stays here, he'll only be used as a sparring partner and a power bank by this group of increasingly eccentric newcomers. What will become of Admiral's reputation?
"Forget it, forget it..." Kizaru waved his hand listlessly, completely losing interest in continuing the argument. "I'm not fighting anymore, I can't fight Benn."
He finally understood that arguing with Straw Hat Pirates and his gang was just asking for trouble.
"I'm leaving!"
After saying that,
Benn gave Straw Hat Pirates no chance to react. A flash of Gin light enveloped him, and he instantly transformed into an elemental beam, becoming a pure beam of light that traveled even faster than before.
With a "whoosh," it soared into the sky and sped off towards Marine Headquarters Marineford without looking back, its silhouette even showing a hint of haste and disarray.
They came abruptly and left just as abruptly, leaving behind a bellyful of resentment.
Straw Hat was left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Chopper blinked his big eyes, looking regretfully in the direction Kizaru had disappeared: "Ah... why did he leave? I haven't fully charged my phone yet..."
Everyone: "..."
Just as Straw Hat breathed a sigh of relief,
A power far more ancient and powerful than when he absorbed the Kizaru laser, seemingly originating from the very source of his bloodline, erupted unexpectedly from the deepest part of Chopper's body!
"Ding! Special energy has been detected to have reached a critical point, meeting the concealment conditions!"
"Hidden quest [Baptism of Light] complete!"
"Reward Awarded: Bloodline Awakening - Giant Deer Lord!"
The moment the system notification sounded in Chopper's mind, his small body jolted violently!
"Ughhhh—!"
Chopper involuntarily let out a low growl that was both painful and somewhat relieved.
His entire body was covered in hair that stood on end without wind, radiating a soft yet undeniable white glow!
The color of Benn's original blue nose became even deeper, like the purest sapphire.
The most shocking change occurred in his size and shape!
His body began to expand and grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It is no longer the kind of violent muscle expansion driven by the rumble ball, but a more coordinated, more sacred, natural growth that seems to return to the form of ancient ancestors!
Its limbs became longer and stronger, and its hooves became as smooth and warm as white jade, yet contained terrifying power.
Benn's originally small antlers began to branch and grow wildly, becoming incredibly large and complex, like a crown sculpted by nature!
A dreamlike, seven-colored energy flow, like the aurora borealis, began to flow from the corner.
In just a few breaths, Chopper had transformed from a tiny reindeer that had to look up at its companions into a giant elk that was over thirty meters tall and exuded an aura of antiquity, majesty, and mystery!
He stood there, as if he were the master of the forest and nature. His once innocent eyes were now filled with wisdom and peace, yet also with an inviolable majesty.
"This...this is..." Nami covered her mouth, too shocked to speak.
" Chopper …you…" Luffy's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.
"Super—Evolution?!?" Franky's jaw dislocated again.
