Chapter 158: The Powerful Camon
"Hey, we agreed—no using weapons…"
Buck glanced at the cannons on Camon's shoulders, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Those twin shoulder cannons were made for Camon by Senior Ba wang. The shells were small, but the power was tremendous. Camon had swallowed them using the Swallow–Swallow Fruit and made them part of his own arsenal.
One shot could blow apart a small mountain. If that counted as a weapon, two shots and their fight would be over. What would even be the point of fighting?
"Why can't I use them? They're part of my ability. If you've got the guts, go find your own Devil Fruit to eat."
Camon grinned, the corners of his mouth stretching wide.
"Hmph, of course we'll find one someday. But that thing of yours will blow this whole place apart. We'll all fall into the water and the fight will be over."
"We can bring weapons, just… not ones with that kind of power."
Aisha looked at him with her big watery eyes, lips pursed as she spoke.
"Fine, then I'll use this…"
Camon somehow pulled out a blade made from a Sky Shell and held it up.
Buck and Aisha exchanged a look.
They nodded.
"Okay."
They each drew their own Sky-Shell blades.
"Come on, then!"
Camon licked his thick dark lips, a vicious light bursting in his eyes as he shifted into battle mode.
Buzz!
His legs suddenly thickened, muscles bulging. Layers of hardened, scale-like skin grew across his bare feet, and his toenails turned into enormous dinosaur claws.
His body shot upward in height until he matched Buck, but his lower half grew massive—no longer a human's legs at all.
He had entered his half–dinosaur hybrid form.
Buck and Aisha nodded in return. Their skin rapidly grew rougher, thicker, and harder. Their arms and legs became slightly bulkier—not nearly as exaggerated as Camon's, but more balanced and lean.
Boom!!
The cloud-rock beneath Camon's feet cracked open. His body shot forward in a blur, and the Sky-Shell blade in his hand released a gust of wind that sharpened into a slicing current, rushing straight at the two.
Buzz—buzz!
Buck and Aisha immediately split apart to dodge, their own Sky-Shell blades sending out two wind blades in return, forming cutting blades of air.
Camon spun, his Sky-Shell wind blade tearing through the air as he slashed fiercely at Buck.
Boom!!
Buck blocked in a hurry, but the tremendous force sent him flying backward.
Clang!
A sharp wind blade sliced toward Camon from behind. Camon whipped around, his mouth stretching open to more than ten meters as he lunged to swallow Aisha.
Splurt…
A line of blood sprayed from his mouth, but he didn't care.
Aisha seemed used to this tactic. She simply withdrew her blade and leapt back.
Buck charged in again, wind swirling violently around his thrust.
The two had already fought Camon countless times over the past days. Although they lost every time, their coordination had improved tremendously. They were no longer being knocked out instantly.
Thump!
Camon inhaled hard, swallowing a mouthful of air. Without even turning his head, his massive leg whipped out like a lash.
Rumble…
His dinosaur claw slammed into the incoming wind blade. A surge of wind blasted outward, kicking up a wave of dust.
The wind blade was knocked aside, and Camon's leg bled, but he didn't care. Once he entered battle mode, pain only made him more frenzied.
"Hahahaha—come again!"
Camon roared with a savage grin, his wind blade flickering into afterimages.
Boom—boom—boom…
Thunderous blasts erupted across the massive cloud-rock. Cracks spread everywhere, and shockwaves rippled out again and again as the three figures flashed across the battlefield.
They fought for a full half hour before the entire cloud-rock finally shattered.
"Ah—!"
A piercing cry suddenly rang out from the sky above.
All three of them froze and looked up.
