Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Kirin Lion of Island of Rare Animals? Combine!!!

Time Rewind:

G-5 Fortress, First Half of the New World

The G-5 Fortress, one of the few large naval fortresses in the New World, is located near its entry. It frequently engages in brutal battles with vicious pirates on the front lines.

As the number of pirates increases year after year, the casualty rate among G-5 soldiers has risen, creating immense pressure.

To other naval branches, G-5 is considered an anomaly. It often resembles a group of pirates more than marines. Sometimes, not only do they disregard direct orders from Marine Headquarters, but they also engage in harsh and questionable acts, including the brutal killing of pirates.

"Hm, bad weather today. Looks like it's going to rain."

At the top of a tall watchtower, a lookout lazily leaned against the railing, yawning as he gazed at the gray sky. "It was just sunny a moment ago!"

Muttering to himself, he grabbed his telescope and casually scanned the surrounding sea.

"Front: clear; rear: clear; left: clear; right… wait, what?" His expression suddenly changed.

A shiver ran down his spine as he focused more intently. "What is that?"

In the distant sky, a black dot rapidly grew larger as it approached G-5 Fortress. It was a massive serpent with golden horns and two pairs of enormous wings—one blue and one black.

"That's... there's something out there!"

He quickly shouted to the group of marines lounging below, who were gathered in small, undisciplined groups: "A massive creature with two pairs of wings is approaching from the sea! It's coming in fast... get to level one alert status immediately!"

"What!?"

"A huge creature?"

Bang—Bang—

The marines below were shocked. Sharp alarm bells rang out, echoing throughout the G-5 Fortress.

Though startled, the marines quickly assembled in a tense yet orderly fashion. Despite their casual sailor uniforms and unruly appearance, they moved with deadly precision. These men, though lacking discipline, were fierce and experienced warriors—the elite of the front lines.

"What's happening?"

Hearing the commotion, G-5 Fortress's base commander, Vice Admiral "Swift Foot" Bolte, rushed out of his office, his face flushed. Tall and lanky, he wore a suit on his upper body and casual shorts below, draped in the navy's signature justice cape. His legs were unusually long, a trait of the Longleg Tribe, giving him a strange proportion.

Before the marines could respond, Vice Admiral Bolte instinctively followed their gaze.

"What is that?" His eyes widened in shock.

"It's the Fallen Angel El!"

One of the marine officers recognized the approaching figure and shouted in alarm, "Though his appearance has changed—he's much larger and now has golden horns—but it's definitely him!"

"All units, prepare for combat! The enemy is El, the Lunarian survivor with a bounty of 600 million Beli!"

Whoosh—

Boom—Boom—

Strong winds began to whip across the sea. Dark clouds gathered above, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling. The G-5 marines, still assembling, looked up in horror.

A massive serpent, hundreds of meters long and covered in gleaming greenish-blue metallic scales, soared through the sky, its two mismatched wings beating with immense power. In a flash, it had crossed several kilometers of ocean and hovered above the fortress, darkening the skies.

Merely flapping its wings, the creature exuded a terrifying pressure, causing the marines to pale, sweat breaking out on their foreheads, filling them with unease.

"Hm, the numbers are a bit low... only about five thousand?"

High in the sky, a powerful Haki enveloped the G-5 Fortress. El, having transformed into a massive winged serpent, stared down at the nervous marines, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Hehe, El Onii-chan, ever since you ate the golden horns from the Island of Rare Animals, you've become even more imposing!"

A green-haired giantess sat on the serpent's enormous head, smiling as she touched the shimmering golden horns.

"These horns are said to grant the power to become a 'master.' Though for El, the power they offer might be mediocre, it's better than nothing!" Gerd, also sitting on the serpent's back, laughed. Beside her were two Homies: Thundercloud Zeus and Sun Prometheus.

Indeed, the golden horns on El's head were not a natural part of his Devil Fruit powers. They came from the Island of Rare Animals in the first half of the Grand Line.

Three years ago, the Hell Trading Company had obtained a treasure map related to this island. El personally traveled to the island, searching for half a month before finally finding it. After defeating the island's guardian beast, the Kirin Lion, he claimed the golden crown containing the mysterious power.

After consuming the crown, his body underwent a strange transformation. However, when he transformed into the massive winged serpent, his strong will and powerful Haki allowed him to suppress the mutation. The golden horns then fused with his Devil Fruit ability.

Now, whenever he transformed, the horns would appear, enhancing his powers even further. In his serpent-dragon form, he had become even more fearsome.

"There are people on its back…"

"Wait, are those giants?"

At this moment, the marines below finally noticed the two figures riding on the serpent's back. Compared to the creature's massive size, the figures were tiny, almost negligible. But to normal humans, these two were giants.

"Enough talking… Let's begin!"

In the sky, the massive, imposing serpent calmly spoke: "We've still got a long journey ahead."

"What are you planning, El!?"

Vice Admiral Bolte was drenched in cold sweat, but he mustered the courage to shout at El. He had heard the stories—how El had once joined the giants in attacking G-12 Fortress, and how he later attacked a marine fleet, leaving even Steelbone Kong, now an admiral, unable to capture him. Instead, Kong's fleet suffered heavy losses.

At that time, El had been only nine years old.

Now, eight years later, who knew how much stronger this monster had become? Certainly far beyond what a vice admiral could handle.

"What am I planning?" El's cold, slit-pupiled eyes glared down at Bolte. He sneered and replied, "You'll find out soon enough."

"Hehe, watch this... Combine!!"

At that moment, the giantess Lily, full of excitement, grabbed Gerd's hand and placed the other on the giant serpent.

Flash—

In an instant, the two of them vanished in a burst of light.


Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Combine, Soul Harvest!

"Hmm?"

"Disappeared?"

"What's going on?"

Above the G-5 Fortress, despite El's massive transformed form, which spanned hundreds of meters, both Lily and Gerd, even as giants, appeared minuscule in comparison. Even after fusing using the Pile-Pile Fruit, forming a large Quetzalcoatl, their size hadn't changed significantly.

Witnessing the sudden disappearance of the two giant girls from the serpent's back, the nervous Navy soldiers, drenched in cold sweat, were puzzled and on high alert.

"Hiss... hiss... such overwhelming power; it feels like it can do anything!"

"Stop messing around... let me take control!" El reprimanded.

With a gentle flap of the enormous Quetzalcoatl's wings, a fierce gust of wind swept through the area, nearly toppling many of the Navy soldiers. They stumbled, barely able to stay on their feet, some almost hitting the ground.

The enormous shadow of the beast descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a thunderous impact, forcing many of the Navy soldiers to retreat in fear.

"Damn it! Navy justice will not bow to evil!" Vice Admiral Bolte, drenched in sweat, gritted his teeth as he prepared to give the order. "Fire—"

But before he could finish, the massive Quetzalcoatl's glowing eyes narrowed sharply. "Life or death?"

"Buzz—"

In an instant, the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit was unleashed. An invisible wave of energy rippled outward, engulfing the entire area. Not only the soldiers on the ground but also the non-combatants hiding in the buildings were affected.

Shivers ran down the spines of countless soldiers as a strange, visible essence began drifting out from their bodies.

"What is this?"

"I can't move my body..."

"It feels like my soul is being torn away!"

"No—!"

One by one, the soldiers stared in horror, their faces pale, as they gazed at the towering, majestic form of the Quetzalcoatl.

"You answered wrong..." El sneered, his eyes narrowing. "Soul Harvest!"

Souls, completely helpless, were ripped from the bodies of the soldiers, one after another, drawn toward El.

"Ahhhh..."

"Thud, thud..."

Screams echoed through the G-5 Fortress as soldiers collapsed to the ground, lifeless, their faces frozen in terror. The sight left those who remained shaking with fear.

"You bastard—!"

Vice Admiral Bolte, the only one spared from having his soul ripped out, stared in shock and fury as more of his men fell. He charged forward, full of rage.

"Slice!!"

In an instant, his legs transformed into springs. With a press of his feet, the ground caved in as he shot forward like a blur, vanishing from sight.

"Hmm, so you weren't frightened by the soul-infused Conqueror's Haki?"

El, still in his massive Quetzalcoatl form, was slightly impressed. "Not bad for the commander of a Navy G-unit fortress."

Bolte's aura was strong, marking him as one of the elite Vice Admirals of the Navy, and he seemed to possess the powers of the Paramecia-type Spring-Spring Fruit.

"Eh? Is this guy... the commander of the G-5 branch? And he's a Devil Fruit user?" Lily and Gerd, who had merged with El, shared his abilities and senses, noticing Bolte's immunity to the Soul-Soul Fruit's effects.

"Spring Shot!!"

In a flash, Vice Admiral Bolte's long legs propelled him through the air at incredible speed. "Boom! Boom!" The buildings around him crumbled as he dashed about, using his spring legs to compress and store energy. His speed made him appear as a blur, his movements impossible to track with the naked eye.

"Spring Rocket Punch!" In the next moment, his legs turned red-hot, surrounded by steam as he rocketed toward El, both legs charged with Haki, aimed directly at the massive Quetzalcoatl's head.

"Boom!!"

With a deafening explosion, the ground shattered, forming spiderweb-like cracks beneath them. But instead of El being injured, it was Vice Admiral Bolte who was sent flying, crashing into the ground, his body battered and bleeding.

"Whoosh..." A massive, metallic-blue serpent tail, glittering with a metallic sheen, slowly retracted.

"Don't assume that just because I'm large, I'm slow and an easy target," El mocked, casting a derisive glance at Bolte's half-dead form.

"Whoosh..." As the enormous beast began to shrink, three towering figures emerged, with Gerd, the over twelve-meter-tall giantess, standing out the most.

At just over 20 years old, Gerd was still considered a young giant by her people's standards, not yet fully mature. Giants lived much longer than humans, with a lifespan three times as long, and their growth cycle was similarly prolonged.

"Whoosh..." Amidst the rubble, a green vine sprouted, coiling around Bolte's body and lifting him toward Gerd.

"No matter what, a Navy Vice Admiral's soul is still a decent prize!" El said with a chuckle.

Despite Bolte being easily defeated, his strength was not insignificant. In the New World, where powerhouses roamed, elite Navy Vice Admirals were still highly respected and feared by most pirates.

"Indeed..." Gerd stretched out her hand, and with a swift motion, she extracted Bolte's soul, leaving his lifeless body behind.

"Hissss, quite the harvest..." Gerd, with her tall, graceful figure and playful smile, hefted her scythe and suggested, "Why not head to the G-1 Fortress next, El?"

Thanks to the information El had shared and the intelligence gathered by the Hell Trading Company, Gerd was well aware of the strategic importance of the G-1 Fortress, located near the Red Line.

"Yeah, with your strength, El-nii, even if an Admiral arrives from the Red Line, we'll be done and gone by then," Lily chimed in, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she clung to El's arm.

"Plus, we need a lot of souls to build the flying fortress, and the Totto Land plan also requires an enormous number of souls to create the Homies army!"

"That's fine, we'll leave the Sabaody Archipelago to Linlin and Oz," El said without hesitation. Having already attacked the G-5 Fortress, there was no point in holding back now. They were bound to provoke the Navy's retaliation sooner or later, so there was no need for caution.

"However, the Navy may have already received a distress signal... G-1 might be on alert!" El's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Let's hope they don't disappoint me!"

If they arrived in time, there was a high chance they would encounter a Navy Admiral, which suited El just fine.

Let's talk a little about my Patreon:

How's my Patreon works? Let's use my most popular membership tier as an example:

With this tier, you'll always have access to chapters that are 50 ahead of what's publicly available. For instance, if today's public chapter is 60, you'll be able to read up to chapter 110.

Every time I release more chapters publicly, your advanced access adjusts to keep you consistently 50 chapters ahead. So, if tomorrow I post two more chapters (bringing the public count to 62), your access will shift up to chapter 112.

Across a full month, if I release, say, 60 new chapters (making the public chapter 120 from today's 60 + 60), your access would extend to chapter 170 (120 public + 50 advance) by month's end. This way, you'll always enjoy exclusive access to content beyond what's publicly available.

Of course, all content will eventually be released publicly, so subscribing to my Patreon is never required. However, having subscribers helps keep this 'work/hobby' sustainable, and your support truly makes a difference (no joke).
