The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

The Next Day

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entirety of Totto Land.

Although no formal announcement of an impending battle had been made, the palpable sense of conflict was impossible to ignore.

"El-sama, they're here!"

At noon, under the blazing sun, a peculiar glimmer radiated from a third eye.

Using her Glare-Glare Fruit's Eagle Sight ability, Lillian, who had just returned from Sabaody Archipelago through Barry's Mirror-Mirror Fruit, pointed toward the distant ocean and called out:

"They've already entered Totto Land's waters. They're closing in at an incredible speed!"

"It's just a single condor carrying a few people. Leading them is Saint Mars, one of the Five Elders who has revealed himself before!"

"Oh? So they've come."

El's eyes glinted with interest as he smiled playfully. Turning to Ryan, who had also returned through the mirror world, El asked with a grin:

"Ryan, are all your preparations in place?"

"Rest assured, everything is ready."

Ryan let out a sly laugh, pounding his chest with confidence.

Thanks to his Munch-Munch Fruit, the explosives he had prepared were of devastating potency. The materials had been gathered from several resource islands, ensuring that the quantity and quality of the explosives were sufficient to obliterate Marineford and Mary Geoise if necessary.

Even an Admiral, if caught off guard, might be reduced to ashes. The power was enough to make the World Government and Navy pay dearly.

"El-sama," Ryan continued, his tone shifting slightly, "could I ask for a favor? Would you allow Linlin-sama to temporarily transfer command of Iron Arm Tok to me?"

He pointed to the tall, stoic figure behind Linlin—his eyes gleaming like crimson jewels, emotionless and cold.

"With Tok's strength added to mine, I believe I could deliver even greater results."

El raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding Ryan's intention.

"You're thinking of using your ability to combine with him for enhanced power, correct?"

Ryan nodded eagerly, while Linlin, flashing her teeth, chuckled.

"Mamamama, fine by me. Tok is all yours for now!"

Turning to the Blood Slave, Linlin issued a direct command:

"Tok, from now on, you are to obey Ryan's orders without question."

"Yes, Master."

Tok's vacant eyes shifted to Ryan, acknowledging the order with an emotionless response.

"Heh, I promise not to disappoint you!"

Ryan, unable to contain his excitement, immediately stepped forward. Opening his massive maw, he declared:

"Don't resist—leave your body to me!"

In one swift motion, he swallowed Iron Arm Tok whole.

"Munch Factory: Fusion!"

In mere moments, under the astonished gazes of those around, Ryan and Tok merged completely. Their bodies fused seamlessly into one, creating a towering figure covered in gleaming silver armor. The metallic surface reflected a cold, futuristic sheen, while their combined face bore an eerie amalgamation of both Ryan's and Tok's features.

"Oh? Not just Tok—you've integrated with one of the robots too?" Linlin, Mos, and Sally examined the new form with keen interest.

"This presence… it's overwhelmingly powerful!"

Clenching his fists, Ryan marveled at Tok's immense strength coursing through him. Raising his massive right arm, it transformed into a blazing mass of red-hot steel.

The enormous metal fist shimmered with Armament Haki, radiating terrifying power as it swung forward.

"Boom!"

The air distorted with waves of heat. A ten-meter-high hill was shattered into countless fragments. Dust surged, and debris scattered in every direction.

"Whoosh—"

With a forceful stomp, Ryan propelled himself into the air. From the soles of his boots erupted a torrent of blue energy flames visible to the naked eye. He ascended at an incredible speed, darting through the skies.

His metallic hands came together, revealing dark, ominous barrels aimed directly at the ocean below.

"Inferno Cannon!"

A blazing torrent of fire erupted like hell's flames, engulfing the area ahead.

"Boom! Boom!"

Waves of heat roiled outward as the fire painted the sky and sea a blazing red. The scorching inferno lit up everything.

When the flames dissipated, the sea below was boiling, steaming visibly, and dotted with scorched and cooked fish floating lifelessly on the surface.

"Amazing!"

The young Third Eye Tribe girl, Lillian, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had never imagined that Ryan, the unassuming scientist, could unleash such overwhelming power.

The display wasn't solely thanks to Iron Arm Tok's strength as a Blood Slave—it was also the result of advanced technology. Even without Tok's fusion, Ryan's combination of scientific ingenuity and his Munch-Munch Fruit ability could produce extraordinary combat strength.

It was clear that his power rivaled, or perhaps surpassed, most of the core members of the Fallen Angel Pirates.

"That's enough, Ryan."

El stepped in, halting Ryan's enthusiastic testing of his abilities.

"Save your strength for when the guests arrive. We'll need you to give them a proper welcome."

He smiled, acknowledging Ryan's immense contributions. Recruiting Ryan, funding Dr. Tsukimi's research, and sending Ryan to study under him in Future Country had all proven to be worthwhile investments.

Since acquiring the Munch-Munch Fruit, Ryan had turned many theoretical ideas and advanced technologies into tangible and devastating tools. His genius wasn't just academic—it was battle-ready.

"Whoosh—"

Time passed. On the horizon, a surge of incomparably powerful Haki could be felt from afar, steadily approaching.

"They're here—"

Lillian's gaze sharpened, her Hawk's Gaze ability focused on the distant sky. Her fists clenched nervously as her palms grew damp with sweat. She called out:

"That's Saint Denis—he's transformed into a thunderbird!"

"And Saint Mars…"

Her voice quivered as she described what she saw.

"He's turned into a winged serpent with a snake's body… but it's nothing like your Quetzalcoatl form, El-sama. It's horrifying!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she scanned further.

Suddenly, she froze, her voice trembling as she cried out:

"Wait, there's something else… How is this possible? There's someone who's turned into a dragon!"

"What!?"
