  The crew quickly picked their oppos, their instincts guiding them to the right matchups. Luffy faced off against Gedatsu, the priest known for his absentmindedness and strange bat style. Zoro squared up with Ohm, the hulking priest who wielded a massive sword and was apanied by his fierce dog, Holy. Sanji eyed Shura, the priest with a twisted sense of justice, standing menagly on his pet bird Fuza. Robin found herself up against Satori, the uable priest whose strange ughter echoed through the jungle.

  Meanwhile, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were left to deal with ander Yama, the brutish leader of the Divine Soldiers, and his two lieutenants, Hotori and Kotori. The Divine Soldiers fheir ander, ready to attack.

  Nami smirked, her Clima-Tact at the ready. "Looks like we’re in for a fight, boys."

  Usopp gulped but nodded, loading his slingshot with a special projectile. "I’ve got your baami!"

  Chopper transformed into his Heavy Point, his muscles bulging as he prepared to defend his friends. "Let’s take them down!"

  Luffy, always eager for a fight, lu Gedatsu, his fists flying. "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" he shouted, his arm stretg out towards the priest. Gedatsu, seemingly lost in his thoughts, dodged at the st sed, his eyes wide with surprise.

  Zoro wasted no time either. He uhed his swords and charged at Ohm, his movements fluid and quick. "Three-Sword Style... Onigiri!" he roared, sshing at Ohm, who blocked the attack with his massive sword. The csh of steel rang out across the battlefield.

  Sanji lit a cigarette, his eyes never leaving Shura. "Yoing down, birdbrain," he muttered before ung himself into the air. His leg turned blur as he aimed a powerful kick at Shura, who tered with a thrust of his spear. The two attacks collided, sending sparks flying.

  Robin watched Satori carefully. She khis fight would require more strategy than brute force. " Fleur... Clutch!" she called out, sprouting hands from Satori’s body. Satori, with his Mantra, predicted hands would attack him from on his own body, although shocked by the possibility of them, he attacked mercilessly, and cut Robin's hands, making her grimace.

  Four of them soon realized their attacks were useless. Robin, in particur, found herself at a signifit disadvantage. Every time she sprouted her hands on Satori’s body, he predicted their location with his Mantra and sshed at them, causing damage that reflected bato her own body. Pain was clear on Robin's face, and she gritted her teeth in frustration. This oppo was not to be uimated.

  Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, each fag their own oppos, struggled as well. Luffy’s punches and kicks seemed to miss by inches as Gedatsu effortlessly dodged them, his eyes b somehow aware of every move Luffy made. Zoro cshed swords with Ohm, the weight of the massive bde pushing him back as Ohm's cloud steel dial could elongate giving him further reach, while Sanji’s kicks were met with swift terattacks from Shura’s spear.

  Usopp, Nami, and Chopper, meanwhile, were doing their best to fend off ander Yama and his two lieutenants, Hotori and Kotori. Yama's brute strength and the synized attacks from the twins were overwhelming, and the trio found themselves stantly on the defensive.

  "This isn’t w!" Nami shouted, dug under a massive swing from Yama's club-like thick arm. "We need a new pn!"

  Usopp rying to line up a shot with his slingshot. "I know, but this guy’s not giving us any openings!"

  Chopper, in his Heavy Point form, charged at Yama, but the ander easily swatted him away with a powerful bad, sending Chopper crashing into a nearby tree.

  Ba the main battlefield, Satori’s ughter echoed through the air as he tio toy with Robin. "Is that all you’ve got?" he taunted, his voice dripping with mockery. "I see every move before you make it. You ’t touch me!"

  Robin narrowed her eyes, trying to think of a way to outsmart him. But every attempt to attaly ended with more of her hands being sliced apart, each cut sending waves of pain through her body. She knew she couldn’t keep this up much longer.

  Coby, watg from the sidelines, ched his fists. He wao jump in, assist them, but he khis was the crew’s best shot to learn the dangers of Haki firsthand. Letting them struggle would toughen them up, and besides, this was no ordinary fight—these priests wielded Observation Haki, and the crew o experie to uand how dangerous their enemies could be.

  Luffy remembered what Coby said about Haki. He khat his attacks were being predicted, and that made the fight even more frustrating. Gedatsu seemed to move with an eerie sense of timing, dodging every pund kick Luffy threw at him. It felt like fighting a ghost, and each missed hit only made Luffy more determio nd one solid blow.

  Gedatsu, unfazed by Luffy’s relentless assault, chuckled to himself. “You ’t hit what you ’t catch,” he muttered, his voice low and fident. His bnk expression didn’t ge as he ducked under another punch, sidestepping the follow-up kick with ease.

  Luffy growled in frustration. "Stay still, damn it!" He threw a flurry of punches, his arms stretg out in all dires. "Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" Fists flew tedatsu from every angle, but the priest dahrough the barrage, his movements fluid and seemingly effortless.

  At one point, Gedatsu nearly tripped over his ow but still mao avoid Luffy’s strikes. “You’ll never hit me like that,” he taunted, his voice oddly detached.

  Luffy gritted his teeth, pulling his fist back to his sides. He needed a different approach, something uable. "Alright, let’s try this!" he yelled, ung himself into the air. His arm stretched back, gaining momentum. "Gomu Gomu no Rifle!" He twisted his body mid-air, his arm spinning like a drill as it shot tedatsu.

  "Impressive... but still not enough," Gedatsu muttered, raising his hands. He aimed them toward Luffy, and with a sudden burst of energy, fired a powerful cloud of Milky Dials at him. The dense white clouds shot toward Luffy, swirling like a mini cye.

  Luffy’s eyes widened as the clouds smmed into him, knog him off bance. He tumbled backward, the impact sending him skidding across the ground. He groaned, pushing himself up, but the Milky Dial’s effects didn’t stop there. The clouds g to him, slowing his movements and making it harder to see.

  "Got you now," Gedatsu said, his voice calm. He lunged forward, his hands glowing with energy as he prepared to strike.

  Luffy wiped the cloud from his face, just in time to see Gedatsu closing in. He ducked uhe attack, rolling to the side, but Gedatsu was relentless. The priest twisted mid-air, bringing his elbow down hard on Luffy’s shoulder. Luffy winced as the blow ected, but he mao catch Gedatsu’s wrist before he could pull back.

  “Gotcha!” Luffy griightening his grip. With a powerful yank, he pulled Gedatsu off his feet and smmed him into the ground. The impact sent a shockwave through the battlefield, and for a moment, Gedatsu y still, the wind knocked out of him.

  Luffy didn’t waste any time. He jumped back, taking a deep breath as he prepared his move. "Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" His hands shot forward, aiming straight fedatsu’s chest.

  But just as his hands were about to ect, Gedatsu’s eyes snapped open. His Observation Haki fred, awisted his body at the st sed, narrowly avoiding the attack. Luffy’s palms smmed into the ground, creating a massive crater, but Gedatsu had already flipped back to his feet.

  With a swift motiosu activated his Jet Punch—a teique that allowed him to unch rapid, high-speed punches using his Jet Dials. His fists blurred as they shot toward Luffy, eae carrying the force of a onball.

  Luffy’s eyes widened as he saw the flurry of punches ing his way. He tried to dodge, but Gedatsu’s attacks were faster than he had anticipated. The first punch ected with his stomach, driving the air out of his lungs. The sed hit his shoulder, spinning him around. The third caught him in the ribs, and by the fourth, Luffy was reeling, struggling to stay on his feet.

  Gedatsu pressed his advantage, tinuing his assault. His punches rained down on Luffy, eae hitting harder tha. Finally, Gedatsu delivered a powerful uppercut that sent Luffy flying into the air. Luffy crashed back down to the ground, dazed and gasping for breath.

  Gedatsu stood over him, his bnk expression unging. "It’s over," he said ftly, raising his hand for the final blow.

  On Zoro's side, he was equally troubled. Ohm could elongate his Cloud Steel sword seemingly endlessly, giving him a reach Zoro couldn't match. Every time Zoro thought he had an opening, Ohm's Observation Haki kicked in, predig his move and tering it with precision.

  Zritted his teeth as he blocked arike, the force of the blow reverberating through his swords. "Is that all you've got, swordsman?" Ohm taunted, his voice calm as he extended his bde once more, the steel lengthening like a snake.

  Zoro didn't respond. He couldn't afford to waste energy on words. Instead, he focused on the rhythm of the fight, trying to find a way around Ohm's seemingly imperable defense. But every time he closed the distan was already there, his bde sweeping in to block or ter.

  The csh of steel against steel echoed through the jungle as Zoro pressed forward, refusing to back down. He swung his swords in a powerful arc, aiming for Ohm's midse, but the priest sidestepped at the st sed, his sword shing out in a terattack. Zoro barely mao deflect the blow, the impact driving him back a few steps.

  Ohm didn't let up. He lunged forward, his elongated sword striking out like a whip. Zoro dodged, rolling to the side as the bde sliced through the air where he'd been standing. He quickly regained his footing, his eyes narrowing as he assessed his oppo.

  Zoro's grip tightened on his swords. He o ge his approach. The usual tactics weren't w against an oppo who could predict his every move. He sheathed one of his swords, freeing up his hand as he prepared for a different strategy.

  Ohm raised an eyebrow, curious about the ge. "Giving up already?"

  Zoro smirked. "Not even close." With a sudden burst of speed, he closed the distaween them, his remaining swords fshing as he unched into a series of rapid strikes. His movements were uable, erratic even, desigo throw off Ohm's Mantra.

  Ohm's eyes widened as he struggled to keep up with Zoro's new rhythm. The swordsman was no longer following a predictable pattern, and it was throwing off his ability to anticipate the attacks. Zoro's bdes came at him from ued angles, f him to blod parry with increasing difficulty.

  But just when it seemed like Zoro had the upper hand, Ohm adjusted his stance. He focused on the small tells in Zoro's movements, the subtle shifts in his weight, and begaing his attacks once again. With a swift motion, Ohm's sword extended, catg Zoro off guard and sshing across his shoulder.

  Sanji focused on his two oppos—Shura, the twisted priest with his relentless spear, and his bird Fuza, who could breathe fire. He gnced over at Zoro, notig that the swordsman had easily put Holy, Ohm's dog, out of the fight. Zoro had simply ordered the dog to stop, and it had obediently plied, leaving Zoro to fa one-on-one.

  Sanji smirked, muttering to himself, "Lucky bastard." He returned his attention to Shura, who was cirg him with an eager grin. Fuza fpped its wings, positioning itself to strike from above, its beak already glowing with the fire it was about to unleash.

  Shura moved first, thrusting his spear toward Sanji's chest with a quick jab. Sanji sidestepped, the spear missing him by inches, but before he could terattack, Fuza dived down, spewing a stream of fmes. Sanji barely had time to leap back, avoiding the fiery assault as the ground sizzled where he had just been standing.

  "You think you hah of us?" Shura tauwirling his spear with one hand while Fuza circled overhead, ready for arike.

  Sanji didn’t respond with words. Instead, he spun on his heel, aiming a powerful kick at Shura's head. But Shura’s Mantra allowed him to predict the attack, and he ducked under Sanji's leg, tering with a low sweep of his spear. The sharp bde cut through the air, aiming for Sanji's ankles.

  Sanji hopped over the spear, nding with a graceful pivot. "Not bad," he muttered, realizing that this wouldn’t be an easy fight. Shura wasn’t just fast—he could see Sanji's moves before they happehat meant Sanji o be uable.

  Fuza made another dive, fmes erupting from its beak. This time, Sanji didn't retreat. Instead, he dashed forward, heading straight toward the bird. Shura's eyes widened in surprise, not expeg Sanji to charge into the fmes. But Sanji wasn’t reckless. As Fuza unleashed its fire, Sanji twisted his body, using the momentum of his dash to spin around the fmes, his foot ing up in a high arc.

  "Party Table Kick Course!" Sanji shouted as his foot ected with Fuza’s side, sending the bird spiraling through the air. The impact wasn’t enough to knock the bird out of the fight, but it disrupted its attack, f Fuza to retreat and regroup.

  Shura gritted his teeth, he lu Sanji again, this time aiming for his throat. The spear shot forward like a bullet, but Sanji was ready. He ducked and spun, his leg sweeping out to kick Shura's feet out from under him.

  But Shura was quick. He predicted the attad leaped into the air, avoiding the sweep. Sanji, uerred, followed up with a high kick aimed at Shura's midse. The priest blocked it with his spear, the force of the csh sending vibrations through both batants, but ultimately it was Sanji who was sent flying.

  "You ’t hit me," Shura taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I see every move you make before you even know yoing to make it."

  Robin was in a tight spot, struggling to figure out how to outsmart Satori’s Mantra. Coby had mentiohat Haki worked with i and willpower—if she inteo attack, her oppo could read that i. But how was she supposed to attack without any clear iion? The cept seemed impossible, and it was frustrating her more with each failed attempt.

  Sathed as he dodged another one of her attempts to grab him with her sprouted hands. "You’re too predictable. You ’t beat me if I know every move before you make it."

  Robin frowrying to think of a way to catch him off guard. She o be more creative, more random, but every time she tried, he anticipated her moves. Sprouting hands on him or around him wasn’t w, and her usual strategies seemed useless against his fht.

  Satori lu her, swinging his impact dial-cd fists. Robin ducked, narrowly avoiding the blow. She o ge tactics. Quickly f a new pn, she sprouted a dozen hands all over the battlefield—on the ground, on trees, on rocks, everywhere but on Satori’s body.

  The move momentarily fused him, but then he grinned. "What are y to do now, woman?"

  Robin didn’t answer. Instead, she had her sprouted hands grab nearby objects—branches, rocks, anything they could find—and hurled them toward Satori. The random nature of the attacks seemed to work better, f Satori to dodge left and right as the makeshift projectiles came at him from all angles.

  However, Satori’s Mantra still gave him an edge. He mao avoid most of the ining attacks, even as Robihem ing. "You’ll have to do better than that!" he taunted, his grin never fading.

  Robin was running out of options. She knew she couldn’t keep this up forever—her energy was dwindling, and the strain of maintaining so many sprouted hands was taking its toll. She had to think of something different.

  Satori closed in again, his fists glowing with the energy of his impact dials. "Enough games!" he shouted as he lu her, ready to finish the fight. He caught with Robin, and with dials on his palms, he attacked, sending Robin flying, raising dusts.

  Robin wiped the blood from her lips as she got ba her feet. She noticed something during the csh—Satori’s Mantra, though powerful, had limits. It wasn’t infallible. He could predict attacks, but only as long as she inteo hit him. Deg to ge her approach, Robied a line of hands behind her, using them to unch herself at Satori. He dodged easily, as expected, but it wasn’t Robin’s hands he o worry about—it was the ground. She had sprouted hands from underh, pulling at his ankles. With no time to react, Satori stumbled, just as Robin closed the distance. She grabbed his head with two powerful arms, and in one swift motion, twisted, snapping his neck with a siing ch. His body crumpled to the ground, his mog grin fading away food.

  Luffy quickly realized that Gedatsu’s Mantra redig his every move, making it impossible to nd a direct hit. But Luffy was nothing if not creative. Instead of going straight fedatsu, he began striking random points around the battlefield—pung the ground, trees, and even the air. Gedatsu watched in fusion as Luffy’s fists bounced off surfaces uably. The punches ricocheted off and rocketed back tedatsu, catg him off guard. The priest tried to dodge, but the ued angle of the attack made it impossible to avoid. The punch ected with Gedatsu’s face, sending him crashing into the ground, unscious.

  Zoro faced a simir challeh Ohm. The priest’s Mantra allowed him to anticipate every sword strike, and his Cloud Steel bde gave him a massive reach advantage. Zoro realized that close bat wasn’t going to work. He o keep his distance. Sheathing two of his swords, Zoro took a deep breath and focused his energy. "Sanjuroku Pound Ho!" he shouted, unleashing a powerful air ssh from a distahe attack tore through the air, slig through Ohm’s extended bde and smashing into him with devastating for, despite predig the precise trajectory of the attack, didn't think his defense would be broken. The impact sent him sprawling to the ground, defeated.

  Sanji faced off against Shura, who stantly used his spear and bird to keep Sanji on the defensive. Shura’s Mantra was making it nearly impossible for Sanji to nd a hit, but Sanji noticed something—Shura was relying too heavily on Fuza for his attacks. Every time the bird moved in to breathe fire, Shura’s focus shifted. Sanji seized the opportunity. When Fuza swooped down for atack, Sanji quickly grabbed a nearby rod flung it at the bird. Fuza’s instinct to avoid the object kicked in, throwing off Shura’s tration. In that brief moment of distra, Sanji unched himself into the air. "Anti-Manner Kick Course!" he yelled, his foot crashing into Shura’s face with immense force. Shura was knocked out instantly, and Fuza, disoriented, retreated into the sky.

  Nami, Usopp, and Chopper fought fiercely against ander Yama and his two lieutenants, Hotori and Kotori. The Divine Soldiers surrouhem, making it hard to move or escape. Nami struck with her Clima-Tact, using lightning strikes to fend off the soldiers. Usopp fired explosive projectiles from his slingshot, and Chopper, in Heavy Point, charged through the crowd, knog enemies aside with brute force.

  But it wasn’t enough. The Divine Army was te, and more soldiers kept ing, overwhelming them. Nami panted, struggling to keep up as the soldiers pressed in closer. Usopp’s hands trembled as he loaded another shot, his fear rising. Chopper, still holding his ground, g his friends, worry in his eyes.

  "We ’t keep this up!" Usopp shouted, panic creeping into his voice.

  Nami gritted her teeth, trying to think of a pn, but there was no time. The soldiers closed in, ons raised, ready to strike.

  Just as they were about to be swarmed, a familiar voice cut through the chaos. "Long-Distance Breath Nuke!" Coby’s voied across the battlefield. In an instant, he appeared beside Nami, pulling her into his chest.

  The Divine Soldiers barely had time to react as Coby unleashed the breath he had been holding. A powerful bst of wied from his mouth, ripping through the ranks of the Divine Army. The force of the explosio soldiers flying in all dires, their bodies flung into the air like ragdolls.

  The ground shook from the impact, and a thick cloud of dust and debris filled the air. Nami g to Coby, her heart pounding in her chest as the shockassed over them. When the dust finally settled, the battlefield was silent. The Divine Army was gone, obliterated by Coby’s attack.
