The two of them had already noticed that something felt off.
How did this guy suddenly appear here?
They hadn’t seen anything at all!
Then—
As soon as Vir finished speaking, Gedatsu was sent flying.
And much faster than when he arrived.
Loud booms echoed through the air.
In the distance, massive trees—each with a diameter of over ten meters—collapsed one after another.
The thunderous noise immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Everyone momentarily stopped.
When they finally saw what had happened, they were all dumbfounded.
What kind of power was this?
Gedatsu was not weak, yet whether he could even survive that attack was uncertain.
The sight of those enormous trees crashing down and the tremors shaking the ground left them in shock.
He actually crashed through so many?
Is this for real?
On the other side, Ohm sensed it even more clearly than the others.
His supposedly indestructible Iron Cloud Sword had suddenly shattered before he even realized what had happened.
There was no doubt about who did it.
There were only so many people here.
And considering Gedatsu’s current miserable state, Ohm realized just how dangerous Vir was.
This guy’s strength… seems like he can crush us all!
“Go for it, Chopper! Take this guy down!”
Vir called out to Chopper before rushing toward where Gedatsu had disappeared.
That guy was his opponent.
This battlefield belonged to Chopper.
All Vir needed to do was watch from the sidelines and make sure nothing happened to him.
Everything else was up to him!
Encouraged by Vir, Chopper nodded seriously.
He couldn’t always rely on his master for protection!
One day, when his master got old, he would have to take care of him in return!
He had to get stronger!
He couldn’t let his master down!
With that thought, Chopper didn’t hesitate any longer.
He reached into the pocket of the pants Vir had made for him and pulled out a green pill.
It was the first improved version of the Rumble Ball that his master had created!
He tossed it into his mouth.
As soon as he swallowed it, his entire reindeer body became noticeably more solid.
His muscles became firmer.
Feeling his strength increase by more than half, Chopper couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the pill, even though he had tested it many times.
This was his master’s strength—his master’s medical skills!
This was the confidence his master had given him!
“Jumping Point!”
Jumping Point allowed Chopper in his reindeer form to move even faster.
The moment he activated it, his speed skyrocketed as he charged toward Ohm.
Although Ohm’s sword had been broken in half, it didn’t actually affect him much.
He hadn’t taken Chopper seriously before, but seeing Chopper’s sudden burst of speed, his expression became noticeably grim.
Meanwhile, Vir, who was leaning against a tree with the unconscious Gedatsu in hand, was quite satisfied with the result.
“Almost double the speed. Not bad.”
As he neared, Chopper leaped into the air, aiming to attack Ohm from above to avoid his shield.
But Ohm’s Mantra had already predicted this move, and his shield was raised above his head in advance.
“Arm Point!”
Arm Point was a form that purely increased Chopper’s strength.
With a loud shout, Chopper’s body transformed back into the muscular humanoid form.
This time, his arms were even thicker than before.
Boom!
The moment they clashed, the ground cracked beneath them.
The sheer force from Chopper’s attack made it hard for Ohm to withstand.
His shield, after a brief resistance, could no longer hold.
It slammed into his own chest.
Although he was shocked by the reindeer’s sudden power surge, Ohm quickly reacted.
The moment Chopper’s strength waned, the shield transformed into a long snake-like sword, thrusting straight toward Chopper’s eye.
This thrust could pierce steel—if it hit, the battle would be over!
Chopper, still in mid-air, couldn’t dodge.
“Guard Point!”
Guard Point enhanced Chopper’s defense.
His fur suddenly grew thicker, and his body size increased slightly.
The sword aimed at his eye only managed to pierce his chest.
But the strike Ohm had pinned all his hopes on stopped after penetrating just three centimeters into Chopper’s chest.
“What?! Impossible!”
Ohm was stunned by how ineffective his attack was!
In that brief moment of shock, Chopper’s horns grew to an enormous size.
Hooking onto Ohm’s sword, he violently flipped it away!
The sudden maneuver, combined with Chopper’s immense strength, caused Ohm to lose his grip on his sword.
Now weaponless, Ohm was completely vulnerable.
“Heavy Point!”
“Cross Horn!”
Heavy Point was Chopper’s strongest offensive form.
In this humanoid reindeer form, his arms became incredibly thick.
In this state, Chopper could unleash many high-damage attacks.
With both hooves pressed together, he slammed them fiercely into Ohm’s chest!
Instantly, a massive shockwave erupted from Ohm’s back, piercing straight through the air behind him.
Blood sprayed as Ohm lost consciousness.
With Ohm’s defeat, Chopper secured his first victory.
A pure, joyful smile spread across his goofy face.
“Heh heh~”
Leaning against the tree, Vir glanced at the massive cross-shaped hole left in the tree beside his head and shook his head helplessly.
Why does it feel like that attack was aimed at me?
Just a little off, and it would’ve landed on my head…
Putting that aside, Chopper’s growth was impressive.
His synchronization with the first version of the improved Rumble Ball was excellent.
Looks like he hasn’t been slacking off.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Shortly after, the other two battles also concluded.
Robin, though exhausted, hadn’t sustained any injuries.
Raki and the others, however, weren’t so lucky.
Raki was already injured, and Kamakiri wasn’t fully used to his new weapon.
As a result, the two of them got absolutely pummeled by a dog.
If Vir hadn’t stepped in, they might have actually lost to that mutt.
This made Vir reevaluate them.
Looks like even handling a dog is too much for them.
At the moment, both of them were covered in bruises.
Especially Raki—her clothes were torn to shreds by the dog.
She looked absolutely miserable.
Seeing the defeated dog on the ground, the two of them finally sighed in relief.
“How’s the situation on their side? Do they need help?”
Raki was still worried about Chopper’s fight.
After all, Chopper’s opponent was the strongest.
Earlier, Chopper had been completely on the defensive, with no hope of winning.
“What? Help with what? It’s already over. We’ve been waiting for you two for a while now.”
Vir said, exasperated.
But the two of them didn’t believe him.
Chopper had just been getting beaten down with no chance of winning, and now you’re telling us it ended quickly?
What kind of joke is this?
However, when they saw Ohm lying on the ground, their disbelief turned into shock.
They were utterly stunned.
Looking at the now small-sized Chopper munching on food, their expressions were priceless.
What the hell happened?
Chopper took down Ohm?
This was even harder to believe than the idea of Vir being a good doctor!
Isn’t Chopper just a pet?
Since when could he fight?
And at such a high level too!
This doesn’t make any sense!
The power gap was obvious at the start of the fight.
How did it suddenly…?
“Chopper, how did you do it?”
They asked in disbelief.
Chopper proudly responded, “Because my master gave me a special pill! It instantly boosts my strength!”
What?!
A pill?
Instant strength boost?
Hold on.
This is getting crazy.
Something like that actually exists?
And it was man-made?
They turned to look at Vir in shock.
In just a few hours, their understanding of the world had been shattered multiple times.
Vir… was way too extraordinary!
