"Heh heh! Tremble in my stink, you bastard old man!"
Usopp stood tall, chest puffed out as he looked at the pirate crew in the distance, now completely swallowed by a thick yellowish brown cloud. He wiped his long nose smugly and scoffed.
"To think he wants to kill his own son, what a disgusting old man! How about this move, Sure Kill Green Star, Great Fart Flower Seed Stink Bomb. Not bad, right?
The seeds from this Great Fart Flower produce an incredibly foul gas to stop predators from eating them. Once startled, they burst open instantly. The gas inside is dozens of times worse than Luffy's farts. Smell it long enough and you might even lose your mind."
"You are way too ruthless…"
Sanji and Zoro exchanged a glance before raising their thumbs at the grinning Usopp.
"Well done."
"As expected of you."
It really had to be Usopp.
Even after gaining the power of the Forest Forest Fruit, he still stuck to his unique style, creating attacks that were not particularly lethal but absolutely humiliating, designed to provoke and break his enemies.
"Wow, Usopp! You're amazing!"
Chopper ran circles around him, clapping excitedly like a devoted fan.
"Dozens of times worse than Luffy's farts… that's terrifying!"
His face showed clear fear, yet he could not stop staring at the distant cloud. With his sensitive nose, this attack was downright cruel. If he were caught in it, he would pass out instantly.
Usopp was incredible.
"Of course!"
With praise from Chopper, Sanji, and Zoro, Usopp's nose tilted even higher as he boasted proudly.
"Let me tell you, the Forest Forest Fruit is amazing. Over the past six months, I've developed all kinds of plant based ammo.
There's the Sure Kill Green Star, Hilarious Bomb, which makes people laugh uncontrollably. The Sure Kill Green Star, Spicy Bomb, which makes your whole body feel like you swallowed a fire pepper. And the Sure Kill Green Star, Itchy Bomb, which makes you itch so badly you'll wish you were dead…"
"Heh."
Shirogai stood nearby, watching everything unfold with a faint smile, showing no intention of interfering.
Conflicts between father and son rarely lasted forever. If anything, a good fight usually settled things.
As for who would win, that depended entirely on their strength.
On the sea, power decided everything.
"How is it, Red Hair Pirates? You have never faced something like this before, have you?"
Shirogai clasped his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked toward the Emperors' crew, who were clearly thrown into disarray by the overwhelming stench.
"You should not underestimate our snipers. The one on our ship is far from ordinary."
"They are getting closer…"
Zoro stepped forward, his gaze sharp as a blade as he locked onto the distant ship.
"They are within my range now. I want to test the strength of a Yonko crew myself."
"Go ahead."
Shirogai smiled slightly, his tone relaxed.
"Make as much noise as you want. I will stay here."
Clang!
A flash of steel, and Zoro's sword was drawn in an instant, turning jet black as Busoshoku Haki coated the blade.
"One Sword Style, Evil Slaying Flying Dragon!"
A massive slash tore across the sea, roaring forward like a dragon. The air itself seemed to freeze in its wake, leaving behind a chilling current that lingered long after it passed.
…
On the Red Force, chaos reigned.
Veteran pirates, feared across the seas, were now sprawled across the deck, gagging and vomiting uncontrollably.
"It stinks! Who's steering? Get us out of here now! I feel like I'm being marinated in this smell!"
"Help… me…"
Shanks lay sprawled on the deck, completely stripped of his usual composure. His eyes rolled back as foam gathered at his lips.
"It smells… so bad…"
The mighty Red Hair Pirates had fallen into an unexpected trap.
Before even clashing with Shirogai, they had been thoroughly overwhelmed by a crewmate's son.
"Ugh…"
Lucky Roux leaned over the railing, completely emptied out, glaring weakly at Yasopp.
"Yasopp… your son has gone too far…"
Yasopp covered his nose, holding his breath as he replied with a strained expression.
"Don't blame my son… he's a good kid… just went a little overboard this time…"
At last, the ship broke free from the thick cloud, sailing into fresh air.
Cheers erupted instantly.
"Fresh air! We made it!"
"I never want to smell that again!"
Lucky Roux dragged himself upright, his round body trembling as he clutched his stomach.
"Yasopp, you owe me meat. I lost everything I ate. A hundred meat sticks."
"All you ever think about is food."
Yasopp jabbed his nose before his expression suddenly sharpened as he looked ahead.
"Forget that. They are attacking!"
The entire crew sensed it at once.
A deadly slash was racing toward them, sharp enough to cut through everything in its path.
"Impressive."
A man stepped forward, laughing as he drew his twin pistols and moved with effortless precision.
"This must be the swordsman from Luffy's crew, the Pirate Hunter. The younger generation is dangerous."
In a blur of motion, he fired multiple shots infused with Haki, each one carrying the force of a blade.
Boom!
The projectiles collided with Zoro's slash midair, shattering it piece by piece. Though the attack was powerful, it was gradually worn down until it disappeared entirely.
The man lowered his weapons calmly.
Benn Beckman, the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates, had stepped in.
