Chapter 578

Mao Nami's face was extremely solemn. She also didn't understand where the enemy had popped out from.

"Hahaha, my masterpiece! This is the series of dream paintings I specially designed for you!"

Just as the flock of birds was about to approach, a fat woman with messy straw-like hair and wearing various decorations appeared before everyone with a laugh.

"Who are you?! Why are you attacking us?!"

Mao Nami raised her Clima-Tact and stared vigilantly at the fat woman in front of her.

"You don't recognize me? I am the most famous painter in Desa City, Gioraji!"

"You are a painter?!"

"Not just a painter~"

Gioraji said and waved the brush in her hand twice.

Immediately, many lifelike figures appeared in front of her.

Some were officers wearing armor, some were looking down at the people from high platforms, and some were nobles riding horses.

"See that? This is my ability, Gioraji. I am a martial artist who has cultivated the ancient secret manual 'Divine Brush Decision'. I can freely and easily display my artistic talent!"

Gioraji was proud and had already completely immersed herself in her own world.

"Go! Arrest all the people from the Straw Hat Hall and let them know the consequences of offending the family of the master of Desa City!"

Gioraji waved her brush and commanded these phantom humans to rush toward Mao Nami and the others.

Luke and Chopper saw this and had to step forward to resist. After the three main combat forces of the Straw Hat Hall left, the two of them naturally shouldered more responsibilities.

As for Momonosuke, he hid behind Mao Nami, peeking at these creatures of various shapes.

"Drink! Wine Barrel Waltz Retreat!" Luke used his sword technique to cut down a phantom figure, but new phantom figures immediately filled in.

"Ahahaha, you can't hurt me at all!"

Gioraji stood in place with a leisurely look.

She easily dodged Luke's attack, then leaped violently to land behind Luke, and gently touched Luke with her brush.

"Ah!"

After Luke screamed, his body also underwent some strange changes, becoming abstract, as if he were a dummy kneaded from plasticine.

"Luke?"

Chopper and the others looked at Luke, who had undergone strange changes, and called out with worry.

"Gioraji, what did you do!"

Mao Nami looked at Luke's changes, her face changing greatly.

"How is my masterpiece?"

Gioraji excitedly shifted her gaze to Mao Nami: "I especially love art, which is why I created this phantom form."

"My cute Straw Hat Hall friends, I want to watch you get captured with my own eyes~"

After Gioraji finished speaking, she spread her arms and quickly sketched something in the air with her brush.

"This is bad, it's a trap, let's run quickly!"

Mao Nami sensed something was wrong and hurriedly reminded everyone.

But the road under their feet also began to become uneven at this time.

"These are all art I created. You only need to step into them, and it's very easy to lose your way."

"Damn it!" Mao Nami said, gritting her teeth.

"Don't struggle anymore, it's useless. Today, none of you will be able to escape."

"Divine Brush Technique—Ten Thousand Changes!"

After Gioraji finished speaking, she aimed her brush at everyone and drew a circle lightly.

Immediately, Mao Nami and the others felt their actions becoming more and more difficult, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

Several people discussed anxiously, trying every possible way to get rid of the predicament before them.

"I say, Nami, your body is also starting to become strange."

Chopper looked at Mao Nami's appearance, only to see that Mao Nami's appearance began to gradually become abstract.

Gioraji put away her brush and whistled.

Immediately, many guards of Desa City appeared around.

"Capture them all. If the Family Head knows we are so capable, he will definitely be very satisfied."

Thinking of Tang Tang Tang Mingge's praise, Gioraji was so happy she was about to jump up.

"Hehe!"

The guards obeyed Gioraji's words and surrounded Mao Nami and the others.

Although their strength was not powerful, they had the advantage of numbers.

Seeing that her companions were about to be arrested, Luke forced himself to calm down: "Everyone, don't panic! This person's ability can only make us look different, but our strength is still there! We must resist!"

Luke's words immediately aroused the agreement of everyone.

Luke took a deep breath and used his sword moves.

In an instant, the guards surrounding Mao Nami and the others all fell to the ground and lost consciousness in a short time.

"Truly worthy of Luke, you finally cheered up."

Chopper wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the unconscious guards on the ground with lingering fear.

"Everyone listen to me, we must leave the range of the Sunny vehicle immediately. This person's ability should have a range limit."

Mao Nami looked at the guards lying on the ground, her face full of relief: "Just now, I estimate her ability was also exhausted."

Everyone nodded in agreement and ran very far away from the Sunny vehicle.

Seeing this, Gioraji couldn't help but roar angrily: "You people really don't know how to appreciate art. Since that's the case, I will completely turn your vehicle into my art piece!"

As Gioraji's words fell, the entire warship began to shake.

"Oh no, is she going to destroy our Sunny?"

Mao Nami and the others' faces changed greatly.

Chopper shouted anxiously: "We are the team responsible for guarding the Sunny. If something happens to the Sunny, we will have failed the trust our companions have in us!"

The most important thing for them now is to ensure the normal operation of the Sunny!

Gioraji ignored them and had already used the Divine Brush Technique to change the outer shell of the Sunny warship into the form she wanted.

"In this way, this Sunny vehicle won't be able to operate normally, right? Even if the people from the Straw Hat Hall want to leave our Desa City, it's impossible."

Gioraji revealed a proud smile.

"Bastard!"

Chopper and the others all wished they could go up and punch her.

But the pursuers were already swarming toward them.

"Next is the Thunder Cloud Weather!"

Seeing this, Mao Nami directly waved her Clima-Tact and released balls of lightning.

Then the lightning balls floated above the enemy's head and fell hard.

Lightning flashed, and many soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.

"Alright! Next is our plan to recapture the Sunny vehicle. To break Gioraji's ability, we must defeat her!"

Mao Nami clapped her hands and talked about her and everyone's plan while fighting.

Gioraji was standing on the warship at this time, looking at Mao Nami and her group in the distance.

"Sure enough, those brats are just like mice."

Gioraji curled her lips. Those brats actually dared to play such low-level tricks in front of her!

"Those guys are also truly stupid. Knowing that I can control them, they still deliberately walk toward me."

Gioraji looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds rolling, as if heavy rain was about to descend.

"However, the actions of those idiots actually let me see through their goal. I want to see what you are going to do!"

After Gioraji finished speaking, she picked up her brush and drew a strange circle again.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of Mao Nami and the others, Gioraji released another technique.

Only to see the brush in Gioraji's hand suddenly stretch, and with Gioraji, she leaped into mid-air, continuously extending, and finally formed a thick rope, which was looped around the Sunny vehicle, binding it firmly.

"Oh no! They are going to drag the vehicle!"

"Damn it!"
