"Boom! Boom!"

  "g! g!"

  Explosions aallic cshes echoed across the battlefield.

  Fmes shot skyward as thick smoke billowed, engulfing the crumbling isnd. The ohriving nd trembled violently, now riddled with scars of destru.

  "Roar—"

  A guttural roar resonated as the massive Sand Weed once again. Ferocious aless, it luoward the Giant warriors, ready to devour them whole.

  But this time, two imposing figures stepped forward to block its path.

  The Ace brothers, already in their hybrid forms, looked utterly monstrous. Sharp, pterosaur-like beaks jutted forward, their cws gleaming like bdes, while massive, muscur wings stretched wide.

  Uypical Zoan hybrids, their forms were sharper, more predatory, a result of ing the Giant Rumble Balls.

  Each brother wielded a colossal shield on their left arm—one carried a greatsword, the iant axe.

  "Power Boost!"

  Their muscles swelled, and their already intimidating frew even more monstrous. With synized movements, they lunged forward, wings fpping powerfully to add momentum as they closed in on the charging Sand Worm.

  "Sor Saw!"

  "Boom!"

  The impact sent shockwaves rippling outward as the brothers’ bitack struck the Sand Worm.

  "Roar—"

  The creature screamed in pain, uo fully evade the enhanced assault. It hurtled across the battlefield, crashing into the ruins. For now, the Sand Worm was effectively ralized.

  "Roar... Roar..."

  The brothers stood firm, their pierg gazes fixed on the falleure.

  "Is that the signal?"

  "Yes, it’s time!"

  "Heh, let’s show them the true strength of Giant warriors!"

  "Meow, meow, meow! Wover, get ready to suffer!"

  A bright red fre shot into the sky, exploding brilliantly as it illumihe battlefield.

  The Giant warriors, locked in bat with Marine vice admirals and CP0 agents, all paused. Seeing the fre, they exged knowing gnces and grinned fiercely.

  "What’s going on?!"

  "They’re transf into hybrid forms!"

  "Stay alert! Don’t let yuard down!"

  Uhe wary and fused gazes of the Wover forces, the Giants began to shift.

  Their bodies morphed into hybrid forms, bining the strength of their natural Giant physiology with the enhas of their a Zoan fruits.

  Each warrior swallowed a Giant Rumble Ball—the specialized pills distributed earlier.

  "Power Boost!"

  "Speed Boost!"

  In an instant, their power and speed surged dramatically, their menag auras growing overwhelming.

  The battlefield ged drastically as the once evenly matched Giants now exuded strength more than double their previous levels.

  R and snarling, the Giants charged forward with unstoppable ferocity, wielding massive ons—swords, axes, maces, and fils so enormous they made even seasoned Marines pale.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  "Ssh! Ssh!"

  Clouds of debris filled the air as the Giants barreled through the enemy ranks.

  "Iron Cloud Sword!"

  Among the charging Giants, one figure stood out: the female warrior, Helen. Her lower body transformed into flowing atter, granting her incredible speed and agility.

  In her hands, a sword fed from iron-infused clouds coiled aended, sshing uably like a venomous serpent.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  Buildings were sliced ly in half by her attacks, sending rubble scattering across the battlefield.

  Her target, a CP0 agent with Zoan e abilities, narrowly evaded the lethal strikes. His form—covered in sleek fur and wreathed in bck fme—moved with unmatched speed, a testament to his Devil Fruit awakening.

  "g!!"

  The agent’s Haki-coated fists cshed with the electrified Iron Cloud Sword.

  Though he mao block the strike, the immense power behind it sent him staggering backward, his body trembling as electricity coursed through him.

  "Damn it! A Giant with the Logia Cloud-Cloud Fruit?!" the CP0 agent growled, gring at the t woman with visible unease.

  Helen stood tall and unyielding, her bde crag with lightning as she prepared to strike again.

  "You’ll regret uimating us, Wover pdogs!"

  A Logia user with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit was already fearsome, but when bined with the Giants' massive size and raw power, the result was utterly terrifying.

  "Death Razor!!"

  The CP0 agent stepped on the air using Geppo, his figure flickering like a blur.

  He twisted and turned mid-air, leaving sharp, slig trajectories as his attacks shed out from all dires. Each strike was imbued with Armament Haki, sshing at Helen with razor-sharp precision.

  "Iron Cloud Shield!!"

  Despite her immense size—even with part of her body elementalized—Heleed quickly.

  Her Iron Cloud Sword dissipated as her hands gathered an enormous amount of aterial, shaping it into a massive spherical shield.

  The shield surrounded her pletely, leaving no openings.

  "g! g! g!"

  Sparks flew as metal cshed against metal.

  The enormous, steel-hard cloud shield deflected the flurry of razor-sharp attacks that rained down on her from every dire.

  "Crackle! Crackle!"

  In the moment, the shield began to shift, morphing into a massive bck thundercloud.

  It expanded rapidly, glowing with lightning as it grew rger and rger, f the CP0 agent to back away cautiously.

  "Storm Leg: Arc Ssh!!"

  The CP0 agent, surrounded by ominous bck fmes, rotated mid-air and swung his leg with incredible force, creating a massive, slig shockwave.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  The huge thundercloud lit in two by the ssh.

  But Helen, moving with surprising speed, charged forward with her massive figure.

  "Thunder Beam!!"

  Bolts of lightning ripped through the darkened skies.

  Bck clouds ed overhead, stretg as far as the eye could see. Bright fshes of electricity rained down in tinuous streams, relentlessly pursuing the CP0 agent.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  The ground cracked, rubble flew, and scorch marks spread across the battlefield as the agent darted about, narrowly evading the devastating strikes.

  Although his Dog-Dog Fruit: Jackal Franted incredible speed, the relentless lightning barrage kept him on the defensive, uo close the distance.

  "What is this?!"

  The agent's expression shifted as he stumbled back. His right arm and cheek were suddenly sshed open, blood dripping down.

  To his horror, he realized the air around him was filled with invisible threads—so fihey were nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

  "Threads?"

  Helen’s voice echoed coldly as she desded from above, her lower body still swirling as clouds.

  "Did you think I was just running around aimlessly? I’ve been weaving these threads all along."

  The CP0 agent’s eyes widened as he sed his surroundings. The entire area was covered in a dense web of nearly invisible cloud threads, each as tough as steel and sharp enough to slice through flesh with ease.

  "These threads are called Strangling Clouds," Helen said, her tone calm but threatening. "They’re tougher than iron and cut through anything. Your fate was sealed the moment you let me trap you."

  Helen had learhese teiques from El, who had guided her in mastering the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. His bat strategies and creative approaches had opened a new world of possibilities for her.

  Through releraining under El, Linlin, and others, Helen had honed her skills to perfe. With Lily’s Cheat-like Pile-Pile Fruit, she had even begun mastering Haki, amplifying her abilities further.

  Now, she could stimute her cells with electricity to enhance her strength, speed, aion time—skills that put her on par with even the Giant warriors wielding A Zoan fruits.

  "You... this is impossible!"

  The CP0 agent growled in disbelief.

  This wasn’t the straightforward, brute-force fighting style typical of Giants. Helen’s calcuted strategies and teiques made him feel a growing sense of unease.

  Covered in Armament Haki, he gripped the sharp, tightening threads and tried to tear them apart.

  "Damn it! Even if you're strong, I’ll break free!"

  Helen smirked, her hands tinuously releasing clouds as her thunderclouds crackled overhead.

  "Your Zoan awakening is impressive," she said mogly. "But now you’re trapped—and you’re not getting away."

  Before the agent could fully react, Helen yahe threads taut, leaving him struggling to escape.

  The sky above darkened further as a massive storm cloud, charged with immense lightning, desded ominously over the battlefield.

  "What’s that?!"

  The CP0 agent and nearby Wover forces—all too preoccupied with their battles to assist—looked up, their faces filled with arm.

  "Crack! Crack!"

  The storm erupted with terrifying lightning, massive bolts splitting the air with blinding brilliance.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  Thundercps roared as lightning bolts, thick as tree trunks, rained dowlessly.

  The CP0 agent could only scream in agony as he was engulfed in the devastating storm.

  "Ahhhh!!!"

  Bleam
