The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"Patter… patter…"

Before long—

Atlantis drifted overhead.

From above the ruined island, sheets of torrential rain poured down without cease.

A deluge of raindrops came crashing down, gradually dousing the burning lake of lava.

Although it wasn't ineffective, progress was slow—extinguishing all of the lava would take at least half an hour.

"This is taking too long, Aunt Gerd…"

Seeing this, Eden—tall as a giant—flew forward with a flap of her wings, grinning. "Better let me handle it!"

"We came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring Umibōzu along," Gerd said, spreading her hands with a laugh. "Go ahead, Eden—I'll leave it to you."

Although Eden, the sixth child, wasn't the strongest of the Kukulkan siblings, her Devil Fruit power was by far the most unusual.

"Heh heh, conjuring a tsunami would be a bit too risky… I'll just freeze it instead."

As Eden spoke, her gaze sharpened. "Switching ability—Ice-Ice Fruit!"

Over the past few years, as a Paramecia Copy-Copy Fruit user, she had, under El's arrangements, gone on numerous conflicts against the Navy and even the Rocks Pirates—steadily copying the powers of notable strong individuals along the way.

Black-Arm Zephyr's Logia Ice-Ice Fruit was one such ability she had acquired.

"Whoosh…"

Cold air gushed forth. The towering figure of Eden bent her knees slightly, her exaggerated right hand coated in frost—instantly freezing a large swath of lava.

"Crack… crack…"

In the next moment, under everyone's astonished gaze, intense chill surged out. The bubbling lava lake froze at visible speed. In the blink of an eye, the entire lava island was transformed into a frigid realm of ice. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and people couldn't help shivering. The drastic transitions from extreme heat to cold reshaped the local climate. In the sky, dark clouds gathered, heralding more rainfall.

"Wow—"

"She froze the lava…"

"Mamamama, that's incredible!"

"In a flash, she solidified all the lava on the island!"

"She even copied that Ice-Ice Fruit power from Black-Arm Zephyr?"

"Eden-nee is amazing!"

Even Linlin, Hajrudin, Fire Calamity Afar, and the others couldn't help exclaiming in awe. Plainly, this wasn't just about possessing a flashy power—Eden herself was quite strong. Otherwise, even after copying a Logia Ice-Ice Fruit, she couldn't have pulled off such a feat. As for the younger children, they stared, jaws hanging open, full of admiration for Eden.

"Heh heh, it's nothing special…" Eden said modestly, though she was visibly pleased, chest puffed out.

"All right, let's get started," El said with a smile, motioning for everyone else to step back.

"Whoosh… whoosh…"

Soon, once the bystanders had withdrawn to Atlantis, El—acting as referee—moved off to a safer distance to oversee the fight. Only the third child, Dal, and the Pegasus Swordmaster, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, remained on the field.

"Clang—!"

The katana at Dal's waist slid smoothly from its sheath.

A man with three eyes, tall and handsome, he smiled and said, "Then I'll go first, Uncle Ushimaru!"

His short gray-white hair and slightly defiant features bore a hint of composure and confidence. In terms of demeanor, he resembled his father El. Standing a full eight meters tall, he had a pair of wings on his back and flames dancing behind his head. In his hand was a magnificent katana—"Great Deva King"—that El had personally forged. Its gleaming edge shone with a chilling light as he gazed down at Shimotsuki Ushimaru, exuding an invisible pressure.

"In that case, allow me to see the full extent of our power, Dal-sama," said Ushimaru, expression grave.

In a flash, he assumed a hybrid beast form—muscles swelling, physique growing significantly taller, a pair of angelic white wings unfurling behind him, and all four limbs shifting to hoof-like shapes. The two great blades at his waist—Ame no Habakiri and Enma—were already drawn. His eyes burned with fighting spirit as he prepared himself, vigilant and ready.

"Whoosh!"

Dal wasted no words, pushing off the ground in a ghost-like burst of speed. In an instant, he was upon his opponent with a first strike. "Great Deva King," glittering coldly, turned pitch-black, edged with thin arcs of black-red lightning, giving off a keen, ominous aura. He swung the sword in silence.

"Divine Evasion!!"

It was a fierce, unstoppable blow, as swift as thunder, blazing forward as if to slaughter anything in its path.

"Clang!!!"

At that split second, Shimotsuki Ushimaru's pupils constricted, the hairs on his body standing on end in alarm. He crossed his Haki-infused blades in front of him just in time, narrowly deflecting the lethal strike. The force of it still slammed him backward.

"What!?"

"That move just now…"

"Could it be…?"

"No way! That's El-sama's sword technique?"

"Is it…?"

Aside from Linlin, Gerd, and a few others who smiled calmly, even the likes of Fire Calamity, Afar, Thunder Calamity Oka, and Wind Calamity Irene stared with wide eyes. They couldn't help raising their voices in shock, scarcely able to believe their eyes as they looked at the tall figure on the island, whose fierce blade presence now shone like an unsheathed legendary sword.

"Conqueror's Haki infusion?"

Snapping his wings open, Shimotsuki Ushimaru stomped his hoof-shaped legs on the icy ground, barely keeping his balance after that unexpected blow. Staring intently at the imposing figure of Dal, Ushimaru was astonished. "I never expected you to reach that level!"

"Too bad I'm still a bit off—I can't believe you managed to stop it," Dal said, raising his exquisite blade with a smile. "But that's the Pegasus Swordmaster for you!"

"Well, since you're speaking so highly of me, Dal-sama, I can't afford to appear weak!"

Ushimaru charged forward like a wild beast unleashed, his aura powerful and ferocious. With both blades shrouded in immense Haki, he slashed outward, killing intent practically radiating off of him.

"Two-Sword Style: Hellish Demon Slash!"

In that instant came the shriek of the slicing wind.

"Swish… swoosh—"

Two massive sword arcs carved through the air, sharp beyond measure, tearing apart the atmosphere without mercy as they hurtled toward Dal.

"Boom… boom…"
