Rare animals…As Luffy is fighting against the Sphinx as if his dignity depends on the result of the fight Reo, Nami and Zoro are watching the fight without disturbing them.
"Don"t you think it is strange that after so long no animals had come here to create problems for us? " Nami asked while not looking turning her head from Luffy who is using "Gum-Gum Gatling Guns" against the Sphinx.
"Maybe it is because of that ugly thing that is fighting against Luffy because from the looks of the way it is fighting I think if is the King here. " Zoro replied with a serious face
"Yes, I also agree there doesn"t seem to be any other animal stronger than that thing and she could be the ruler of these islands. But... " Reo agreed with Zoro"s explanation but after some thoughts, he felt something is missing from this expration but what is the thing missing isn"t coming in his mind.
"But??? " Nami and Zoro asked turning towards him because that is the only expration but when they heard Reo have some kind other expration they also got curious to know about that.
"But even if we take her as the strongest animal on these islands we still have one question left. " Reo said with a serious face.
"Which is? " Nami asked with a confused face while Zoro is just looking at him with a serious face.
"That is if she is really the strongest animal on the islands then why aren"t there any other animals attacking us even after pa.s.sing so much time with Luffy. " Reo answered with a serious face.
"Maybe they are scared to enter her territory out of fear. " Nami replied with a confident face.
"No, if that was really the case then there is even more important reason that the other animals would attack even if not us they will still attack her. " Reo said with a serious face turning his head towards the Sphinx.
"Maybe they are waiting to attack her in the hiding somewhere then. " Zoro said as he has experience about such things while hunting the Pirates who will go to any means just to achieve their goals.
"No, I don"t think any animal is around us to ambush the Sphinx. " Reo shook his head with a serious face while thinking "Should I use my magnet field and look around the islands? No, if I were to do that then where would the thrill of the unknown. I "
"What if there is some animal even stronger than it which is the true ruler of this land and she is just working under that animal? " Nami asked with a fear thinking of such a creature which is even stronger than the Sphinx with whom Luffy is fighting right now.
"A creature even stronger than her??? " Reo asked with a serious face while smiling inside "Well that will be interesting if that is the case but I don"t think there can be a stronger thing stronger than her in this weak sea. "
"Look the ground under its foot is transforming into the sand. " suddenly Zoro shout out pointing at the feet of the Sphinx with a serious face.
"Luffy lookout. " Reo who also notched the sudden change also shouted st Luffy who is only focusing at the Sphinx but not what is happening under his feet.
Hearing the warning from others Luffy wanted to avoid the upcoming attack by jumping to the side but when he pushed on the ground instead of bouncing away from the ground he starts sinking in the ground and heard a shout from the Sphinx who is smiling at him coldly "Sink to the bottom of the ground, you filthy thief.
"High-speed quicksand pull. " hahahaaa~ "
The moment it started laughing the sand started spinning like a water pull and taking sinking him in the ground with a first speed but the most problematic thing here is that the sand also started cutting on Luffy"s body with the high-speed rotation.
Finding Luffy in distress Reo asked with a calm tone "Need any help captain? "
"No, don"t I am fine here. " Luffy replied with a serious face then taking a deep breath he shouted "Gum-Gum longhands. "
With his words, he sends his hands towards a tree not far away and grabbed a branch of the tree then shouted "Gum-Gum Rocket. "
With that, he flew towards the sky using the momentum from his longhand.
"Now, you are finished. " Looking at Luffy falling from the sky towards her the Sphinx shouter while starting her process of fire gathering in her mouth with a concentrated point.
"Is she going to fire a fire been at Luffy? " Nami asked with a scare on her face.
"It is so hot I can feel the heat from all the way from here. " Zoro said with a serious face.
"If that hits Luffy I don"t think he will be safe. " Reo said with a serious face while thinking "I need to prevent that attack somehow without letting them find out about it. "
Up in the sky, Luffy is still sending his hands at the direction of the sky while deciding towards the ground and after getting enough momentum he shouted "Gum-Gum guttling gun. "
"Flame Gun. " The Sphinx shouted while preparing to release her fire wave towards Luffy in the sky.
"It"s time. " Reo said in his mind finding the Sphinx completing it"s the preparation of firing the Flame orb in its mouth and focusing his magnetic power right above its mouth he said with a low shout "Reverse magnetic push."
The moment he finished his words the Sphinx felt the concentrated fireball in its mouth getting pushed inside its mouth and before it and even put more force Luffy"s punch connected on its head with a strong force and combining with the magnetic push it failed to destroy the fireball which in turn crashed in his mouth and exploded inside.
>Boom
The moment the fireball exploded in the Sphinx"s mouth Luffy who was about to send a second attack got pushed away because of the strong shock wave as Reo jumped and caught him very easily.
"Do you think it is dead… " Nami asked with a serious face looking at the explosion.
"Let"s wait for the dust and smoke to be cleared. " Reo said putting Luffy down and asking "Are you, fine captain? "
"That ugly animal is finally dead. " Luffy replied with a wide smile.
