The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

Whoosh… whoosh…

In his awakened form, Griffin Moss moved with lightning speed.

With a powerful flap of his wings, he soared into the sky, deftly weaving past the fiery onslaught of holy arrows raining down.

Boom… boom…

The battered ground below was struck repeatedly by those blazing arrows of light, shattering it further. Their terrifying holy flames melted rocks into bubbling magma, enough to make one's scalp crawl.

"Carbon Foot: Griffin!"

In midair, Moss accelerated explosively.

His right foot ripped through the air, delivering a sudden, violent kick.

Pop—

A fierce shockwave roared out, taking the form of a ferocious Griffin. With a single flap, the creature pounced straight for its target.

"Holy Light Slash!"

Unwilling to concede, Willie responded by swinging his famed blade Lanwayus.

An enormous slash imbued with holy radiance burst forth, colliding forcefully with the lunging Griffin. Both attacks exploded on impact, creating a violent gust of wind.

Clang!!!

Sword edge clashed with talon. Griffin Moss's savage form lunged once again.

At this moment, the holy flames behind Willie's head abruptly extinguished. In that split second, his speed and reaction time soared, barely intercepting Moss's blow.

Talon infused with Conqueror's Haki and crackling electricity met the searing holy flames of Willie's sword. Simultaneously, a blast of hot air surged forward, making Moss grimace.

Whoosh… whoosh…

He abruptly retreated, streaking around from all directions to strike again.

Clang… clang…

Boom… boom…

All across the ravaged island, the two continued their fierce duel—one moment battling in midair, the next on the ground, then back in the sky. Both fought with raw ferocity.

At this point, Willie was demonstrating courage and skill rather than simply relying on the Lunarian race's innate ability to nullify damage. Though it took all he had to hold his own—at times looking rather disheveled—he showed no sign of retreat.

"Holy Light Judgment!!"

Suddenly, a dazzling pillar of light shot heavenward, transforming into a giant beam that illuminated the entire sky before slamming down at the charging Griffin Moss.

Whoosh!

With his astonishing speed, Moss dodged in the nick of time and landed.

Boom… boom…

In a flash, the dreadful holy beam hit the ground, blowing open a massive, bottomless crater that brimmed with molten magma. It made everyone who saw it shudder.

"Sword of Judgment!"

Locking onto Moss's position, Willie raised his radiantly glowing sword high.

Whoosh…

A blazing radiance shot up, and to everyone's shock, a colossal holy sword took shape overhead. In the blink of an eye, it hurtled down toward Griffin Moss with crushing force.

Boom… boom…

"Blue Wave Ball—!"

In the next moment, Moss—barely sidestepping the blow—gave a low roar, swallowing a special Blue Wave Ball created by the research team for Minks like him. His body bulged with muscle, golden fur extending and turning pure white. Both eyes glowed bright red, his entire frame crackling with electricity as he assumed his "Moon Lion" form.

"Brain Enhancement! Holy Light Enhancement!"

Aware of how overwhelming Moss became in Moon Lion form after ingesting that specialized Blue Wave Ball—his Haki, speed, and strength far outstripping prior levels—Willie dared not drop his guard. He, too, gulped down a custom Blue Wave Ball. His body shook, and at once, his mind's reaction speed rose dramatically. The holy flames behind his head flared bright as he readied himself for combat.

"Awoooargh!"

Visible arcs of electricity danced intensely around Moss, now ferocious as ever. His voice, low and rasping, echoed: "Watch out, Willie-sama… Speed Enhancement! Strength Enhancement!"

No sooner had he spoken than the Moon Lion charged forward, muscle fibers rippling like a primeval beast unleashed. He vanished from sight, then instantly appeared in front of Willie, whose pupils constricted in alarm, every hair on end.

"Radiant Flame: Triple Holy Shield!!!"

Shaken, Willie forced himself to react. Eyes narrowing, he conjured three layers of spherical shields formed of holy light, each burning with intense flames that distorted the air with their heat.

"Hell Spear: Lion King Spike!!!"

Moss's claws, impossibly sharp, bristled with high-level Armament Haki and crackled with electricity. He slashed the air, driving straight into the trio of barriers.

Boom… boom…

Relying on his tremendous Haki, Moss forcefully withstood the scorching flames that coated the shields. One after another, the three Holy Shields shattered, yet the attack kept going until it slammed directly into Willie.

Crack…

Blood spattered.

Steel-hard talons tore his flesh. Even with the Lunarian trait of "fire mode" and the Angel Fruit's resistance, Willie's relative inexperience left him unable to fully repel the blow. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he was hurled aside like a cannonball.

"Holy Light Healing!"

Mid-flight, Willie frantically flapped his four wings, struggling to stabilize himself. Cloaked in a brilliant halo, the gash in his chest knitted back together before onlookers' eyes. But in the next instant, that savage beastly figure was upon him again.

"Triple…" Willie tried to summon another defense, but Moon Lion Moss pressed relentlessly, unleashing a fierce barrage:

"Griffin Phantom Fist!!!"

Whoosh… whoosh…

A hailstorm of punches tore through the air, each blow infused with powerful Armament Haki. They formed a blur of afterimages, striking Willie before he could even react.

Bam… bam…

"Willie—!"

"Willie-nii!!!"

On Atlantis, Thor, Sif, and the younger siblings paled. Even Sally, who understood her son's abilities and knew he wouldn't be so easily beaten, couldn't help clenching her fists anxiously.

"Relax—Willie's not that weak," the third child Dal said calmly, the third eye on his forehead flashing red. As though he foresaw something, he continued, "He may not match Uncle Moss's strength yet, but he won't be taken out so easily."

Boom… boom…

At that instant, Willie's body smashed into the ground from the repeated impacts, sending rock shards flying and dust swirling in clouds. A spiderweb of cracks radiated from the crater where he landed.

"Phew…" Not long after, his figure glimmered with holy radiance and rose once more on his wings, injuries swiftly healed.

"Ugh…"

As the dust dispersed, Willie, looking somewhat ragged, patted the dirt from his clothes as if nothing had happened. Gazing at Moss—still in Moon Lion form, brimming with savage vigor—he smiled. "Uncle Moss, it seems you pulled your punches just now."

"I concede!"

"You're already quite strong, Willie-sama…" Moss replied, exhaling and reverting from his Moon Lion state. He studied the young man, who showed neither bitterness nor frustration, and returned the smile: "Give it a few more years—perhaps I won't be able to harm you at all, even at full strength."

He had confidence that with steady effort and combat experience, he too would grow stronger, perhaps rivaling the likes of the former Marine Admirals Ironbone or Blackbear. But the power Willie already displayed here was astonishing. In a few more years, even if he couldn't surpass Moss, he'd at least be able to hold his own indefinitely.
