Chapter 491 - 330

Chapter 331: Godly Prediction with Exploding Luck! Usopp Blasts the FactoryInside was another world!Giant pipes crisscrossed, the roar of machinery was deafening, and conveyor belts transported raw materials and semi-finished products of eerie colors.This was the core of the Donquixote Family's wealth and their alliance with Beast Kaido—the SMILE Artificial Devil Fruit Factory!As soon as they entered, a piercing alarm sounded!"Enemy attack! Intruders coming through the vents!""It's the Tontatta Tribe traitors! And two humans!""Catch them! Kill them on sight!"A large number of Donquixote Family grunts poured out from various corridors, mixed with several minor officers, such as the short but muscular Lao G, who was rushing forward with a strange pose and a roar."Usopp! Chopper! Follow the plan!"Leo shouted, pointing his dandelion spear,"Tontatta Combat Squad! Charge! For Princess Mansherry! For our enslaved compatriots! Overthrow Donquixote!!!""Oooooh—!!!"Hundreds of Tontatta warriors let out a sky-shaking roar, turning into streaks of green lightning as they fearlessly charged at enemies who far outnumbered them!They were small, but their strength was amazing and their movements flexible. They darted between the grunts' legs, stabbing ankles with spears, shooting eyes with blowguns, and using special tripwires... instantly throwing the grunts' formation into chaos!Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper aimed at the more troublesome officers and solid fortifications."Chopper! Cover me!"Usopp climbed onto a thick pipe, forced himself to calm down, and raised his kuro kabuto.A faint golden glimmer flashed in his eyes.A tiny golden ring flashed briefly at his target."Special Attack—"He pulled back his slingshot, inserting a special "gunpowder star" mixed with gunpowder, iron sand, and chili powder."—Golden Boost: gunpowder star Rapid Fire!!!"Release!That small gunpowder star shot out, and halfway through its flight, it passed exactly through that fleeting golden ring!A miracle happened!The moment it passed through the ring, the gunpowder star, which was originally only the size of a walnut, suddenly exploded in size and speed several times over!It turned into a terrifying fireball the size of a washbasin, trailing a crimson flame!Usopp pulled and fired with dazzling speed. One giant fireball after another, amplified by golden rings, blasted like a barrage toward the densest enemy areas and key machinery!Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!... Deafening explosions continued one after another!After the fireballs landed, they not only produced high-temperature explosions but also splattered large amounts of burning iron sand and tear-inducing chili powder!The grunts were blown off their feet, screaming in agony.Solid metal pipes were twisted and broken by the blasts, hissing as they leaked steam and chemical liquids.Machines on the production line were destroyed, sending sparks flying everywhere."Damn it! What kind of attack is that?!""My eyes! It's spicy! So spicy!""Help, help me!"Usopp's long-range bombardment instantly created a sea of fire and wailing in the factory area!"Great job, Usopp!"Chopper was greatly encouraged by this sight.He no longer hesitated and stuffed three rumble balls into his mouth at once!"rumble ball! Monster Point!!!"The familiar sound of bones popping and muscles expanding rang out!Chopper's body grew rapidly like an inflating balloon, his fur became longer and harder, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant beast form filled with wild power!But this time, his eyes remained clear and rational."Roar—!!!"Monster Chopper let out a sky-shaking roar, his giant fists covered in a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki!"Cloven Roseo: Sakura Blizzard!!!"His fists were like two giant battering rams, frantically pounding the surrounding buildings and facilities at a terrifying speed and frequency!Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!... Every punch was accompanied by the loud sound of reinforced concrete shattering and the groan of twisting metal!Thick walls were smashed with huge holes, cracks spread across thick support pillars, and expensive production equipment was smashed into a pile of scrap metal!Chopper was like a rampaging demolition giant, crashing through the factory. Everywhere he went was a mess, and his destruction efficiency was amazingly high!His goal was clear:To destroy the factory's physical structure as quickly and as much as possible! Paralyze the production lines! Create more chaos! Attract all the enemies' attention!"A m-monster!!""Quick, stop him! Don't let him destroy any more!""Fire! Use the cannons!"Bullets and shells hit Monster Chopper's body, covered in Armament Haki and thick fur, only causing a few sparks and failing to do any effective damage.Instead, he grabbed a broken steel beam and swung it like a straw, sweeping away a group of grunts!The combination of Usopp and Chopper—one providing long-range bombardment to create chaos and casualties, the other using close-range brute force to destroy core facilities, coupled with the Tontatta warriors' nimble harassment—actually forced the heavily guarded factory area to retreat!"Damn it... damn it! You filthy rats!!"Lao G saw the family's assets being destroyed like this and was filled with rage.He roared, his muscles bulging to the limit, striking a strange bodybuilding pose,"Jio-Ken Ultimate Secret Technique: 'Combat Preserve'! Rage MAX! Take my 'G-no Kokuin'——!!"His entire body was wrapped in dense Armament Haki. Like a wild boar in heat, he knocked aside a few Tontatta in his way and charged straight at Monster Chopper, who was dismantling another pipe!He was aggressive, as if he wanted to smash Chopper to pieces!"Chopper! Watch out!"Usopp saw it and hurriedly turned his slingshot, but Lao G was too fast!Chopper also felt the threat from behind and turned around abruptly! But Lao G was already close!At this critical moment—"Special Attack—"Usopp didn't have time to aim carefully. In a panic, he fired a normal "Smoke Star" at the ground not far in front of Lao G, trying to temporarily block his vision.—Golden Boost: Smoke Star!The Smoke Star passed through the golden ring and instantly expanded into a large cloud of red smoke, enveloping the area in front of Lao G."Child's play!"Lao G didn't dodge and was about to charge out of the smoke!However, he ignored what was beneath his feet.A pipe carrying high-pressure flammable synthetic gas was leaking colorless and odorless gas hissing not far from his feet! These gases quickly mixed with the air, filling the smoke area.And Usopp's Smoke Star not only produced thick smoke, but the friction of the small amount of gunpowder inside also sparked a few tiny embers.The sparks met the flammable gas that had reached explosive concentration... BOOM—!!!A terrifying explosion, no less powerful than Usopp's strongest gunpowder star, erupted under Lao G's feet!An orange-red fireball instantly swallowed the smoke area, and a violent shockwave swept away the surrounding debris!Lao G didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was blown high into the air like a rag doll, charred all over and smoking, crashing through a distant wall and being buried in the ruins, his fate unknown.The aftershocks of the explosion even knocked over several nearby Donquixote grunts.Usopp: "...Eh?"Chopper: "...Whoa!"Tontatta warriors: "...(Dumbfounded)"Usopp froze for two seconds, looking at the slingshot in his hand, then at the exaggerated explosion effect and the collapsed wall in the distance.Suddenly, he puffed out his chest, the look of fear on his face vanished, replaced by a triumphant expression."S-see that! This is the 'Art of Predictive Detonation' of the Great God Usopp!"His voice was loud, trying to cover up his previous panic,"I noticed that leaking pipe with my sharp eyes long ago! I deliberately used the Smoke Star to confuse him and lure him into my carefully designed explosion trap!""Everything is within my calculations! Wahahaha!"Chopper (worshiping eyes): "You're so amazing, Usopp! As expected, everything was in your plan!"Leo (wiping sweat): "U-Usopp-land... truly far-sighted!"Usopp looked even more arrogant on the surface:"Of course! Follow me! To the next target!"They didn't know that the power of this "lucky explosion" and the destructive power displayed by Usopp and Chopper were being transmitted in real-time to the monitoring room deep in the factory, next to the Toy House, through a hidden surveillance den den mushi.In the monitoring room, a green-haired little girl wearing a bear-themed hood, looking only seven or eight years old, was sitting on a high chair, swinging her short legs and looking at the dozens of monitoring screens in front of her...
