[Sabaody Archipelago, Area 13, Shakky’s Rip-Off Bar. The place was nearly empty. Behind the bar, a seemingly ageless woman, smoking a cigarette, removed two bounty posters from a newspaper and examined the young girl’s face on one of them with great interest.]
—
An elderly man, wearing a cross pendant and priest’s attire, strolled leisurely to the seaside and looked up at the Pleasure District flag fluttering on the docked ship…
The priest eagerly hopped aboard the ship.
—
A young Marine with white hair, whose lower half had turned into thick white smoke, arrived at the scene of the pirate disturbance as if riding on a cloud.
Hearing the commotion inside the bar, he transformed his arm into a swirling mass of white smoke and ejected it, like a serpent darting through the air, shattering the window and heading straight for Liam, who was standing on the pirates.
“What is that?!”
“Is it on fire? There’s smoke!”
“No, it’s a snake!!”
The patrons in the bar were startled. Seeing the 100 Million Belly bounty kid named Giorno, they stepped aside as the incoming flying punch connected with the white smoke, which tightly bound him in place!
“What’s this?!” Robin was taken aback; she had never seen Logia Devil Fruit’s abilities before.
Liam looked down, feeling the tangible force of the smoke constricting him, and curiously said, “How strange. It’s just smoke, but why can it bind people… and even lift them up?”
As he spoke, the white snake-like smoke had already lifted him into the air.
“Are you curious? Think about it slowly in prison.”
A well-built young Marine jumped through the window, his arm connected to the smoke that was binding and lifting Liam.
The bar patrons were shocked:
“He… he’s a monster! His arm turned into white smoke?”
“Is he a Marine?”
“Great! Since he’s a Marine, he’ll arrest all these pirates!”
“He looks like a monster, but surprisingly cool. I like it!”
“Huh?”…
Smoker, puffing on a cigar and exhaling smoke, ignored the crowd’s comments and said in a deep voice, “Chopper. Giorno, and…”
He looked at Robin and immediately transformed his other arm into white smoke, flying toward her!
Given Robin’s level of martial arts, she couldn’t react in time!
When she saw Smoker’s attack, his white smoke-covered fist was already almost upon her.
However… she couldn’t react, but her 『B.I.B.』 was different.
The ordinary people couldn’t see the pitch-black armor covering Robin. Her head tilted back slightly, and the armor moved forward to collide with the incoming fist!
*Whoosh!*
The mask of the armor met the flying fist, which dispersed into smoke, and along with the approaching smoke, it enveloped Robin entirely.
During this, 『B.I.B.』 controlled Robin to continuously attack the smoke, but it only created “holes” in the smoke with no real impact.
The onlookers gasped:
“You can’t hit it?!”
“Is this the power of the Marines?”
“Is this even human?!”
“I heard there’s something called Devil Fruit!”
“He’s a Logia Devil Fruit ability user! Logia’s abilities are invincible; these two pirates are finished, they can’t stand up to this Marine!”…
“It’s really impossible to hit at all!” Liam, suspended off to the side, was highly intrigued, pondering, “It’s truly amazing. How does this work?”
Robin gave him an exasperated look. Aren’t we both being held up by the Marines? Why isn’t he worried at all?
“Captain Kujo Jolyne!”
Smoker, with his cigar, held Liam and Robin in the air with solidified smoke.
“You’re the criminals with a 100 Million Belly bounty? You don’t seem all that impressive!” He said, his youthful face growing serious. “So, what unforgivable crimes have you committed to warrant such a high bounty from the Headquarters?!”
Liam replied with a smile, “You’d be better off asking your Headquarters about that. I don’t have the answers you’re looking for.”
“Quite arrogant, huh? Just wait until you…” Smoker said coldly.
“Wait until what?” Liam, in the midst of the smoke bindings, grabbed Robin’s hand next to him. With the help of Stand 『B.I.B.』, they simultaneously exerted their strength, tearing through the smoke that bound them.
They swapped places and landed safely. Liam brushed off his clothes as if the smoke had made them dirty, coughed twice, and asked, “What’s the wait about?”
Seeing Smoker fall silent, Liam grinned, “Though lifting people is quite impressive, in the end, it’s just smoke! You don’t really think that Captain and I are weak to not even escape from smoke, do you?”
“…” Smoker was silent for a moment. They hadn’t just escaped the smoke!
Consider this: When forcing their way out of the smoke, Smoker could make the smoke ignore their movements and keep them bound and suspended, with the range of lifting and binding unchanged…
Elementalization’s body ignores ordinary physical actions.
Move as you like, but I won’t move.
That’s the absurdity of the Logia Fruit!
But the speed at which Giorno and Captain Jolyne broke free just now… made Smoker’s smoke unable to react in time, failing to keep up!
It was precisely because of this momentary speed that allowed them to escape from the smoke’s binding.
The tip of Smoker’s cigar flared up brightly.
He drew his weapon, the Jitte, from his back, and his lower body transformed into smoke as he flew toward Liam and Robin.
He aimed a punch at Liam while thrusting the Jitte towards Robin’s neck.
Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, both Liam and Robin evaded his surprise attack.
“Boss, time to settle the bill.” Liam flashed over to the bar, smiling as he laid out a stack of Belly bills, “As for the damage to your tables and chairs… you’ll need to ask the Marines for compensation!”
The boss cowered behind the bar, unsure of what to say, as he saw the smoke forming a fist behind the pirates, now targeting them again.
Liam flipped backward, leaping into the air.
On the other side, Robin, with the help of 『B.I.B.』, used the Rokushiki technique Soru to continuously dodge Smoker’s stinging smoke.
Two streams of white snake-like smoke twisted and darted through the bar.
Smoker furrowed his brows, biting down on his cigar, and thought, “Damn! These two brats are so fast! Even if I spread the smoke throughout the entire bar, it won’t harm them… Should I fill the air with smoke to suffocate them? But there are other people here!”
At that moment, Liam and Robin tumbled through the air in sync and forcefully kicked against the horizontal air ahead of them!
“See you later.” Liam waved his hand dismissively at Smoker.
Boom! Boom!
The air beneath their feet exploded with a thunderous roar as they shot out of the bar like two missiles, blasting through Smoker and dispersing his upper body into a cloud of smoke.
Outside the bar, Robin allowed Liam’s ghost to control her body while she curiously asked, “Why didn’t you just take his Devil Fruit?”
Liam landed and replied, “What do you take me for? Seriously! Do you think I just grabbed any Devil Fruit I saw?”
He stroked his chin and pondered, “The Smoke-Smoke Fruit isn’t that impressive… Might as well give it to little Green and let it use it as a cloud to fly around.”
In his pocket, the green Den Den Mushi inexplicably felt a chill at the back of its neck, shrinking slightly before continuing to sleep.
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
Liam turned to see Smoker had followed them.
“Are you crazy?” Liam poked Robin’s chest, pulling out an iron rod.
Smoker’s eyes narrowed at the sight. Was that Captain Kujo Jolyne’s Devil Fruit ability?
But weapons like iron rods are ineffective against his Smoke-Smoke Fruit!
Smoker rushed forward with his Jitte, only to see the kid named Giorno weighing the iron rod in his hands, grinning, and then…
He began spinning the iron rod with both hands, like a fan, aiming it at Smoker!
