One Piece: A Side Story – The Forgotten Isle

Chapter 9: *One Piece: A Side Story – The Forgotten Isle (Part 9)*



The ground trembled violently as smaller stone guardians emerged from the deep fissures, their eyes glowing like embers in the darkness. These new golems, while smaller than the original, were just as imposing, their stone fists clenched in preparation for battle. 

Luffy, ever the optimist, grinned. "More enemies! This is getting good!" 

Zoro narrowed his eyes at the new foes. "We can't let them overwhelm us." He readied his swords, spinning them with expert precision. 

Sanji took a quick glance at the original golem. "We've got to finish what we started with the big guy. Otherwise, we'll be fighting forever." He kicked off the ground, rushing toward the larger golem's chest to aim for the weak point Robin had discovered. 

"Right! Leave the small ones to us!" Luffy shouted, immediately stretching his arms and legs to knock the smaller golems back. He launched himself into the air, landing on the head of one of the new golems with a powerful kick, sending cracks through its stone surface. 

Robin, using her powers to grow extra limbs, quickly immobilized two of the smaller golems, twisting their arms behind their backs. "They're tough, but not invincible," she said, her calm voice a sharp contrast to the chaos around her. 

Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper were doing their best to assist. "I'll cover you, Robin!" Usopp shouted, firing precise shots from his slingshot to target the joints of the golems, trying to break their movement. 

"Leave it to me!" Chopper transformed into his Kung-Fu Point, charging at the smallest golem, his fists landing quick blows to its chest. 

Luffy, still on the large golem, quickly twisted its head around, giving Sanji an opening to kick at the creature's chest. Sanji's powerful "Sky Walk" kicks landed, but the golem didn't fall. 

"We need more power!" Luffy yelled, his fists flying. 

The stone guardians around them started to close in, making the situation even more dangerous. The battle was escalating, but no one was ready to give up just yet. As the pressure mounted, the faint glow of the runes on the chest of the larger golem flickered again, more urgently this time. 

"This is it!" Robin said, as she pulled one of her limbs back to deliver a powerful strike to the runes. "We have to break the core—now!"
