Forcibly Taking Nami Aboard, MultiverseLottery

Chapter 8: CH 8



"Run! Run to the sea!"

Arlong shouted in desperation, his face twisted in panic.

"Too late!"

Nami's icy voice echoed across Cocoyashi Village.

The sky darkened as massive thunderclouds gathered above, blanketing the area. Flashes of lightning crackled through the clouds like writhing serpents.

"A Thousand Thunders Descend!"

Nami raised her hand, commanding the thunderclouds like a goddess of lightning.

The villagers of Cocoyashi Village stood frozen in shock, staring at the apocalyptic scene unfolding above them.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Bolts of lightning rained down like a relentless hailstorm, striking through the massive Island Cloud and turning Arlong Park into a sea of destruction.

Buildings crumbled and collapsed under the onslaught.

"Ahhhh!!"

Screams filled the air as fish-men were struck by bolt after bolt of thunder, their bodies blackened and smoking.

Without Armament Haki or strong physical resistance, they stood no chance against the devastating lightning. The thunderclouds created by Nami mimicked natural lightning, amplifying their destructive power.

Finally, the massive Island Cloud descended, delivering the final blow.

"BOOM!"

The entirety of Arlong Park was reduced to ruins.

From her position in the sky, Nami scanned the wreckage below, ensuring no fish-man escaped the range of her attack.

One minute passed.

Three minutes passed.

As the villagers began to gather at a safe distance, their gazes were drawn to the sight of Nami standing mid-air like a goddess of war.

Finally, there was movement in the rubble.

"Crawl out before you die!"

Nami's voice was sharp as she dispelled the Island Cloud, her cold eyes fixed on the ruins. In her hand, she condensed a Cloud Spear, its sharp edge shimmering like compressed lightning.

"Cough… cough…"

In the collapsed pool, a long jagged nose emerged, broken in half. Moments later, six tentacle-like arms pushed through the debris.

"Ah… Brother Arlong, I… cough… cough…"

The bloodied Hatchan struggled to speak, coughing up blood as he tried to crawl forward. "If you survive… go back to Fish-Man Island, I can't… cough…"

Bang!

Hatchan's head slumped to the ground, lifeless.

"Ahhhh! Hatchan!"

Arlong's roar of anger and grief pierced the air as he rose from the rubble, his eyes bloodshot.

"Damn it, Nami! Damn you! I'll kill you! You're all going to die!"

Nami's voice remained cold, her fury unshaken.

"Your pain? It's not even half of what I've endured!"

Without hesitation, she flung her Cloud Spear down like a lightning bolt.

Whoosh!

More Cloud Spears formed from the remaining Island Cloud, hundreds of them materializing and raining down in all directions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The compressed Cloud Spears, sharp and unyielding, cut through the air with a terrifying whistle.

Arlong trembled, his survival instincts kicking in. Without looking back, he turned and bolted toward the sea.

Nami ignored him, continuing to rain down Cloud Spears on the fish-men below, ensuring none could play dead and escape.

Bai Yu's teachings echoed in her mind:

"Always confirm the kill. Patching up is important."

"Is… is that really Nami?"

The villagers whispered among themselves in disbelief.

The young girl they had known now descended like a Valkyrie, wielding the power of the skies themselves.

Some villagers couldn't suppress their awe, and fear began to creep into their hearts as they witnessed her overwhelming power.

"Nami… she's so strong."

As Nami's elder sister, Nojiko felt nothing but pride. However, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu with suspicion.

"It's you, isn't it? You're the one who helped her. Thank you."

Bai Yu replied bluntly: "No matter how much you thank me, I'm still taking you with me. No escape."

"…"

Nojiko stared at him, speechless.

Before she could respond, Bai Yu stepped forward, effortlessly picking her up in his arms.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Nojiko shouted, her face flushed as she struggled. "Aren't you afraid Nami will see this?!"

Slap!

Bai Yu casually slapped her rear.

"Stop struggling. Be good."

"Y-you're so rude! How am I supposed to get married now?!" Nojiko's voice cracked, on the verge of tears.

Kaya, watching from her cloud, chuckled softly. "Brother Bai Yu is so bad. Why does he always steal women?"

Meanwhile, Kaya turned her attention to Arlong, who was still trying to flee toward the sea. Clapping her hands together, she activated her power:

"Location Restoration."

A pale golden light enveloped Arlong.

Suddenly, his surroundings changed, and a sharp pain jolted through him. He looked around in confusion.

"What?! How… how is this possible?!"

His body was pierced by one of Nami's Cloud Spears, but what truly shocked him was his position—he was back in the middle of the ruins of Arlong Park.

"Fake! This has to be fake!"

Arlong remembered clearly: he had been just meters from the sea, ready to escape.

But now, he was standing exactly where he'd started, skewered by Nami's attack.

Kaya murmured from above, "According to Brother Bai Yu… this is called 'making them doubt their life.'"

After a week of experimenting with her powers, Kaya and Bai Yu had discovered new depths to the Restoration Fruit's abilities.

Restoring ordinary items, healing biological injuries, and alleviating hunger were only the surface-level functions.

Position and state restoration was far more potent.

For example:

1. Position Restoration: Arlong was restored to his previous location, preventing his escape.

2. Ability Recovery: If someone like Akainu fired a magma attack, Kaya could restore him to the state before the attack was launched, effectively canceling the move.

3. Haki Restoration: If someone like Garp exhausted their Armament Haki, Kaya could restore them to full strength.

4. Action Recovery: If someone like Dracule Mihawk swung a sword, Kaya could restore him to the moment before the swing, undoing the attack entirely.

"It's almost like turning back time," Bai Yu mused.

This made enemies nothing more than living targets, unable to move forward.

Bai Yu didn't yet know the limitations of this power. Testing it against a top-tier opponent would be crucial.

If the ability truly had no limits, Bai Yu would undoubtedly ascend to unparalleled heights.

"The enemy will fight until they doubt their very existence."
