At that moment, there was a bright light. "Look away," Ben shouted. The girls shielded their eyes. The bright light went away. The girls look back.
"He looks more ugly," Marianne remarked.
They all saw the creature had a towering humanoid form with dragon-like features, including an animalistic posture and hind legs, standing nearly four times the height of a normal human. His rock-gray skin contrasted with the black segments on his chest and shoulders, which glowed with red and yellow outlines. A row of small spikes sat beneath his pectorals, while large pink spikes protruded from his shoulders. A massive blue orb connected his upper and lower body, encircled by additional spikes, and just above it, two pupil-less blue eyes gave his lower torso a face-like appearance. His muscular yet lean arms had black segmented plating, glowing outlines, and tufts of red fur covering his shoulders, upper arms, and wrists. His knuckles bore pink spikes, while his fingers ended in long, curved claws. A jagged red spine ran down his rock-gray tail, and his legs featured small spikes near the pelvis, red fur above the knees, and three-clawed feet adorned with more red fur near the toes. "Evil Master Beast," Evil Master Beast said.
"He has transformed," Robin remarked.
"He looks more ugly," Marianne commented.
"Ben looks much better when he transforms," Nojiko said.
The girls felt their cheeks blushing. "He does," Tashigi muttered under her breath. She did not know why but that form made her hot and bothered.
"Fire Fist," the Evil Beast Master said as he turned his fist into flames and launched it as a column of fire at the girls. The Whitebeard Pirates' Jolly Roger appeared on his chest.
"Dodge," Ben said. They all dodged the fire column. They felt the heat soaring past them.
"This attack," Vivi remarked. She thought this attack was familiar. She had seen this before.
"It is like Luffy's brother's attack, we saw and fought before," Nojiko added.
"He can steal other people's attacks," Raki commented.
"Let's be careful but we will defeat him," Ben declared.
"Demon Abyssal Shackles," Ben said as from his palm he released shackles made of black, fiery metal that clamp onto Evil Master Beast. These shackles burn continuously and drain the victim's energy, weakening them over time.
"We can also do fire attacks," Ben said.
"Inferno Strike," Conis said as she gripped the Heat Javelin tightly as she channeled intense heat into its tip. With a powerful thrust, she unleashed a scorching blast of flames that surged forward like a fiery comet, striking the Evil Master Beast square in the chest. The impact sent embers and molten sparks scattering in all directions.
"Mystic Fireball," Tashigi called out as she dragged her blade along the ground, igniting it with magical flames. With a swift upward slash, she sent a barrage of explosive fireballs hurtling towards the monstrous foe. Each projectile crackled with energy before slamming into his body, erupting in bursts of heat and fire.
"Hex's Fire," Maya shouted, dragging her sword against the ground. The friction generated a black-colored flaming projectile that pulsed with eerie energy. With a sharp swing, she launched it straight at the Evil Master Beast. The dark flames coiled and roared as they streaked toward their target like a cursed inferno.
"Liquid Cluster," Honey said, stretching both arms forward as crimson liquid gathered in her palms, forming a small but volatile red sphere. She hurled it toward the beast, watching as it shot through the air before colliding and detonating on impact. Without hesitation, she quickly created two more spheres and launched them in rapid succession. One after another, the red orbs struck and exploded in a controlled yet devastating chain reaction. Though the explosions were small, they sent ripples of energy across the Evil Master Beast's armored body.
"Ice Age," said the Evil Master Beast as he put his hand to the ground and instantly froze in the cave. The Marine symbol appeared on his chest. The girls jumped and narrowly missed the attack. The chains Ben had wrapped around him froze and broke off.
"This attack," Vivi remarked.
"He can use his attack as well," Kaya added. There was venom in their voice. Ben sighed. He could see the girls still were not happy.
Vivi changed to her hybrid form. Her eyes were red. She had wings on her back and a long tail. She had sharp claws. Vivi held her hand out. "Dark Neroctic Beam," Vivi said as she shot a thick dark beam from her left hand. The beam travelled towards the Evil Master Beats and hit his chest. There was an explosion and the Evil Master Beast slid back.
Raki transformed into her beast form. "Petrifying Gaze," Raki said as she looked at the Evil Master Beast. The Evil Master Beast looked back. Their eyes met. The Evil Master Beast chest area started to turn into stone.
"Deadly Poison Gas Bomb MH5," Evil Beast Master said as he launched a bomb. It went towards Raki. The Krieg Pirates' Jolly Roger appeared on his chest.
Ben thought of MH5. Honey eyes widened. She knew what this attack was. She saw the shell going to Raki.
Kalifa saw the shell in the air. "Golden Parachute," Kalifa said as she launched Lovethorn skyward. The whip wrapped around the bomb. She yanked it downward to the left as she drove it into the ground. At that moment the bomb exploded and created a large cloud of poison.
"Good job Kalifa," Ben said as he flew towards Evil Master Beast. Kalifa smiled and blushed hearing those words. "Demon Inferno Kick," Ben said as he spun on leg in the mid-air. He channeled his energy into leg and kicked the Evil Master Beast. This released a black fire on his face.
"Stinger Kick," Zala said as she turned her leg into a long spike. She then slashed the Evil Master Beast and chest. The Evil Master Beast had a large mark on his chest in between the eyes like pattern.
"Angel Kick," Kaya said as she channelled her energy into her kick. It glowed white as she kicked the Evil Master Beast in the stomach.
"Six King Gun," Evil Beast Master said as put his fists right in front of Kaya and Zala. Ben saw this and he quickly moved downwards and got in front of his fist. Evil Beast Master launched a devastating shockwave. The symbol of the World Government appeared on his chest. Ben got hit and went flying back.
"Ben," Kaya and Zala shouted.
Ben hit the ground and spat blood. He thought that was painful. He remembered getting hit by Rob Lucci with that attack before. "I am okay," Ben remarked.
Kaya and Zala were relieved however they felt bad that Ben got hit.
"Lightning Blast," Nojiko said as she created a small cloud around her hand. She then released one intense lighting bolt towards Evil Master Beast. The lightning bolt his shoulder. It destroyed a spike.
"Mass Shift," Mikita said as she felt her blood rushing. Her muscles started to swell. Her forearms got bigger and then reduced in size. Her thighs got bigger and shrunk again. She ran towards the Evil Master Beast. "Poundage Strike," Mikita said as she increased the weight in her fist to an overwhelming 100,000 kilograms. With a powerful swing, Mikita unleashed her attack on the Evil Master Beast. The sheer force of the strike caused a shockwave to ripple through the air, its impact echoing like a thunderclap. Evil Master Beast eyes widened in shock as the fist connected with his torso, the immense weight crashing into him like a freight train.
At the same time, Alvida jumped into the air. "You hit my love," Alvida remarked. "Kanabo Swing," Alvida said as she gripped her mace tightly and swung it with full force. She hit him in the face. The metal on his face had a huge dent from the force.
Alvida and Mikita jumped back.
Ben got up and his body began to convulse, his muscles rippling and expanding. His skin darkened and turned into a reddish black. Two massive horns erupted from his forehead, curving upward. His eyes blazed with an intense red. His pupils turned into slits like those of a predatory beast. His body continued to grow, Ben's height shot to 28 feet. His limbs elongated and thickened with muscle. His legs became longer and more muscular. His tail grew larger and wider. There was a dagger tip. His crotch had a cocoon like shell. His fingers extended into sharp, claw-like talons. The air around him seemed to thrum with an ominous
The girls felt the air around them change. Their faces were flushed. They had new energy on their body.
