Two years ago, the 11 young pirates who landed in the Sabaody Archipelago were called Supernovas, also known as the Worst Generation, because their strength far surpassed that of typical pirates.
Although they had only been around for a short time, they were all worth over 100 million Berries at the time.
Urouge, being among them, naturally possessed unique skills.
He could convert the damage he suffered into his own power to fight back against his opponent. The heavier the accumulated damage, the stronger the power burst. However, if the damage exceeded the upper limit of what he could bear, it would be ineffective.
Urouge, who specialized in physical martial arts, used this ability to great perfection, and the upper limit of damage he could withstand was very high, unless the opponent was far stronger than himself.
"Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body! This is called cause and effect!"
Urouge raised his smoking fist and stared at his opponent coldly.
At this time, Jack slowly stood up, clutching his injury, his body trembling slightly.
That heavy punch had directly broken several of his ribs and even damaged his internal organs. However, this was obviously not enough to defeat him, but it succeeded in enraging him.
Raising his hand to grip a few trees, Jack uprooted trunks as thick as barrels with ease and hurled them like weapons, branches and leaves flying.
"All things are empty!"
Urouge smiled and stepped forward. He clapped his palms together, creating a powerful gust of wind that blew all the branches and leaves to the ground.
Jack's hair and cloak were also tossed by the wind, and his eyes grew frighteningly cold.
With a dull roar, Jack's body suddenly expanded. His hair grew rapidly, transforming him into a massive mammoth in mere moments.
His lush brown hair covered his entire body, and his trunk, as thick and powerful as a stone pillar, waved wildly, shaking the air and slamming towards Urouge like a heavy chariot. The ground roared under the pressure.
All the bushes along the way were trampled to pieces, and trees were broken in batches. The momentum seemed to destroy everything in its path, reminiscent of a drought sweeping through.
"Master Jack is causing trouble again, get out of the way!"
"Beast Jack doesn't know the difference between friend and foe!"
At this moment, the soldiers of the Beasts Pirates, as if they had seen an evil ghost, were too scared to continue fighting and fled in all directions, trying to get away from the prehistoric beast.
The members of the Fallen Monk Pirates quickly reminded, "Captain, be careful!"
Urouge remained calm, his smile never fading. He readied himself, prepared to face Jack's overwhelming strength head-on.
Urouge was shocked by the destructive power of the beast-shaped Jack. He frowned, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, stay back and avoid getting hurt!"
The next moment, Jack's thick and powerful elephant trunk swung towards Urouge, stirring up dust and fallen leaves with a strong gust of wind.
Urouge raised his strong arms to resist. The ground beneath his feet shattered and exploded, causing his entire body to sink half a foot into the ground.
The sheer force made him grit his teeth. His back teeth shattered, his bones creaked, and his muscles nearly tore under the pressure.
"What a careless move!" Urouge thought. He had wanted to test Jack's strength but taking the blow directly put a significant strain on his body, potentially affecting the rest of the battle.
Jack was also taken aback by Urouge's resilience. He had put his full strength into the attack, with the intent to kill. Even if he couldn't kill Urouge, he expected to break his bones and muscles. But he had underestimated the monk's endurance.
Jack snorted coldly, "Let's see how many more of my moves you can block!"
He swung his trunk again, this time with even more force.
Urouge, unable to withstand the blow, was thrown into the air. He twisted mid-air and landed on the ground, sliding for dozens of meters before standing up. He flexed his cramped and sore arms a few times.
"As expected of a senior cadre under the Four Emperors. I underestimated you! It seems if I hide my strength any longer, I might not make it out alive this time!" Urouge smiled.
Bracing himself, Urouge prepared to unleash his full power, no longer underestimating Jack's might.
Jack waved his elephant trunk gently and said in a deep voice, "If you still have any skills, show them now! Otherwise, I'll kill you, and it'll be too late for regrets!"
Urouge smiled and replied, "That's right! Since the donor is so vicious and evil, the poor monk has nothing to worry about!"
"When dealing with evil, one must repay them with their karma!"
Urouge clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and slowly recited, "All the evil deeds I have done in the past are all caused by greed, anger, and ignorance without beginning!"
Jack, startled, rushed forward and shouted, "Monk, no amount of chanting can save you now! Just accept your death!"
At that moment, Urouge's body began to change. His injuries started to glow, and his body swelled, growing taller and more muscular. In a few breaths, he transformed into a hulking figure, almost as tall as Jack in his mammoth form, and incredibly strong.
"Huh? Is he also a Devil Fruit user?" Jack wondered, but without hesitation, he swung his powerful elephant trunk at Urouge.
Unexpectedly, Urouge did not dodge or even look like he wanted to resist. He stood there with his eyes closed and his hands folded.
Jack showed no mercy, slamming his trunk into Urouge with full force. Dust flew and scattered in all directions.
"Die!" Jack roared.
However, when the dust settled, Urouge was still standing, his larger and more muscular form absorbing the impact. He opened his eyes, the calm smile still on his face.
The beast soldiers who were watching the battle from a distance shouted excitedly.
"Captain!"
The fallen Monk Pirates screamed in shock and disbelief.
"Huh?" Jack frowned, feeling something was wrong, and immediately looked down.
The dust and smoke dissipated, revealing a dark palm pressing against the deeply sunken trunk of the elephant.
In his strange form, Urouge had blocked the attack with one hand, his body remaining motionless
The expressions and reactions of the onlookers instantly reversed.
Jack looked gloomy and remained silent.
Someone had resisted his attack so easily before, and that person had given him a very bad combat experience.
Although the physical pain had healed, it still left a lingering shadow in his heart.
Before he could recover, Urouge moved again.
"Karma Boundless!"
Urouge held the huge elephant trunk with both hands, lifting Jack's massive elephant body. With a burst of immense strength, he performed a heavyweight over-the-shoulder throw, slamming Jack onto the ground with a thunderous impact.
There was a loud noise, a huge earthquake on the ground, and a shockwave that even affected the people watching the battle hundreds of meters away, knocking them to the ground in astonishment.
This was Monk Urouge's strongest trump card—the Form of Karma.
By converting the injuries accumulated in battle into magical energy that stimulates physical strengthening, Urouge's physical strength and power were horrifically amplified for a certain period. All his ordinary moves were upgraded and strengthened, greatly increasing their destructive force.
After two years of rigorous training and countless battles, Urouge had mastered this form exceptionally well. He could even continue to convert injuries in the Karma Form to extend the transformation time.
In this state, the Monster Monk only became more formidable as the fight progressed.
