Chapter 14: The Unpredictable Battle
Cracker's annoyance turned to fury as Luffy continued to eat his Biscuit Soldiers. With a swift swing of his sword, Cracker aimed a fatal blow at Luffy. However, Luffy's newfound fat reserves from devouring the biscuits protected him from the attack.
Emboldened, Luffy decided to transform into Gear 4. But, due to his excessive weight gain, he inadvertently turned into a new form – Tankman. In this unusual state, Luffy fought back against Cracker, surprisingly landing some damaging blows.
Just as Luffy was about to deliver the finishing blow, his transformation lost its peak, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Nami panicked, fearing for Luffy's safety. She turned to the nearby tree and pleaded for its protection, revealing the Vivre Card.
The tree reluctantly agreed to shield Luffy for 10 minutes, until he could regain his Haki. Cracker, however, refused to give up. In a desperate attempt to reach Luffy, he chopped off a quarter of the tree, rendering it unconscious.
But, before Cracker could finish Luffy, the pirate suddenly regained his power. His excess weight disappeared, leaving him slim and ready for battle. With a fierce cry, Luffy prepared to unleash his wrath upon Cracker. The fight was far from over..
