One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 204 Yamato Unleashes His Power

Fortunately, Runti was a seasoned veteran with extremely quick reflexes.

She deftly somersaulted in mid-air, then used the momentum to land steadily back on the ground. Despite her disheveled appearance, she showed no sign of panic; instead, she slightly raised her eyebrows, revealing an expression of smug satisfaction.

"Just as I expected! The boost that Zoan-type abilities provide to strength is absolutely terrifying."

Runti sighed inwardly, secretly relieved.

After all, she herself is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, so she is well aware of the enormous advantages and potential threats that this ability can bring.

Therefore, even when Sasaki unleashed her power, the meticulous Sasaki had already held back, deliberately controlling her strength to avoid being seriously injured.

With that thought in mind, Runti no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and quickly activated the power of the Devil Fruit within her body.

Her body began to undergo a strange change—her original human form gradually disappeared, replaced by a peculiar half-human, half-beast shape.

Sasaki's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this.

In fact, the strength of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users can be determined in their normal state.

Under normal circumstances, he is inferior to Runti in both strength and speed. Unless, of course, the difference in their abilities is enormous.

Otherwise, after transforming into a beast.

The strong remain strong, and the weak remain weak.

Unfortunately, Runti's Zoan-type Ryu Ryu no Mi (Ancient Zoan, Pachycephalosaurus) ability is in no way inferior to his Zoan-type Ryu Ryu no Mi (Ancient Zoan, Triceratops).

His expression turned serious.

Because he understood that what followed would be a tough battle.

Meanwhile, Foz-Foe had been thrown more than 100 meters away and it took him a while to get up.

Immediately afterward, he took a deep breath, his muscles tensed violently, and a powerful surge of energy erupted from his body. In the blink of an eye, he successfully activated the mysterious and powerful Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Saber-toothed Tiger Fruit ability, and his entire body began to undergo astonishing changes.

He gradually transformed into a huge, majestic saber-toothed tiger in a half-beast form.

Sharp, sword-like fangs protrude abruptly from the corners of its mouth, gleaming with a chilling light; its strong, powerful limbs are full of explosive power, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly; its body is covered with a thick layer of fur, as hard as steel, exuding a wild and domineering aura.

Just then, he uttered a low shout: "Shave!"

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot like lightning. Only a deep crater remained, carved by his heavy footsteps, as if to prove to the world that a terrifying being had just been there. If it weren't for the crater still standing, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that just a second ago, he was standing there steadily.

However, when everyone turned their gaze to the distance again, they were surprised to find that he had appeared like a ghost, only ten meters away from Yamato.

At this moment, he was staring intently at Yamato with his cold, sharp eyes, revealing undisguised hostility and vigilance. At the same time, his ferocious face still carried a hint of doubt and confusion.

He simply couldn't understand why their captain's own daughter would choose to associate with a navy officer.

What untold secrets are hidden within this?

Although his mind was full of questions, these thoughts only flashed through his mind.

For him, regardless of the reason, once the two sides clashed, he would show absolutely no mercy. After all, on this turbulent sea, the law of the jungle was the eternal rule of survival.

If he shows any mercy, then he will be the one to die.

Finger gun!

Without a word, Foz-Foe propelled himself forward with a powerful lunge, charging directly at Yamato. He simultaneously concentrated all his strength in his index finger, then thrust it forward at incredible speed.

Its fingertips possess bullet-like attack power, capable of easily piercing through the human body.

His target was the heart of Yamato.

Foz-Foe certainly possesses considerable strength, but it depends on who you compare him to.

If it were to be a contest with Runti... even if the two fought fiercely for a whole day, it would probably be difficult to determine a winner in the end.

However, the opponent he was facing at this moment was Yamato!

It's worth noting that in the original story, even someone as powerful as Kaido was severely beaten by Yamato.

Its true combat strength is far beyond what someone like Foz-Foe could contend with.

Foz-Foe confidently unleashed a powerful, determined strike. This move might have been effective against other opponents.

But Yamato stood firmly in place like an indestructible mountain, without moving an inch.

Just as Foz-Foe's fingertips were about to touch her body, the spiked club she was holding suddenly swung out with thunderous force, slamming into Foz-Foe's face with overwhelming power.

Before Foz could even react, he was sent flying like a cannonball by Yamato's astonishing force.

However, this time the situation is completely different from the last time.

Last time, Yamato merely swung her hand casually; but this time, she not only wrapped Armament Haki around the spiked club, but also unleashed all her power without reservation, leaving no room for retreat.

"Pfft..."

Foz-Foe coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and for a moment, his eyes went unfocused.

This shows just how severe the blow was.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

However, Yamato had no intention of letting him off so easily.

With lightning speed, she used her spiked club wrapped in lightning, and then with a burst of power from her legs, she shot out like a cannonball.

They caught up with the knocked-away Foz in the blink of an eye.

This move is extremely powerful; in the original work, it defeated Runti in her beast form with a single blow.

This technique is inherited from his father Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

But Runti soon woke up and complained that Yamato's attack didn't deserve to be called "Thunderous Eight Trigrams," it should be called "Thunderous Four Trigrams" at most.

However, in the ensuing battle with Kaido, its power was no less than Kaido's Thunder Bagua, and it even injured Kaido's forehead during the clash of Thunder Bagua.

How terrifying is Kaido's defense?

The fact that it couldn't hurt him shows that Yamato's move wasn't as weak as Runti had said. It's just that Yamato hadn't used his full strength when dealing with Runti.

"collapse...."

The next instant, Yamato slammed his spiked club into Foz-Foe's abdomen.

If this attack hits again, even if Foz-Foe doesn't die, he will be completely incapacitated.
