Brizman Shot his arms out to the Side, His height Growing, taking on that same spindly wooden look as he had before, but this time it was even more! Growing to a Staggering 4 meters in height, the Gangly limbs growing longer and sharper, roots binding together tighter and tighter. "You're a real strong one, I can tell! So I'll make sure to give you all that I've got! And Once you're dead, I'll turn that bounty of yours in!"
The Transformation continued, His torso widening at the shoulders, and narrowing at the waist, his shirt becoming so stretched that where his abdomen would be was revealed to be nothing more than a tangle of wood and straw! Face becoming ragged, embers flowing again!
"My Fruit's a Special one, So Look Close!" He Said his transformation continued. And with it, he became even stronger than before by many folds! "No Normal Paramecia, Nor a Zoan…But the Power of the Scarecrow! Granted by the Power of a Special Zoan!"
A Special Zoan, an Even Rarer Class of Fruit than those Considered Special Paramecia. This Brand of Paramecia grants Abilities similar to a standard Paramecia, Whether that be Bodily Modification, Environmental Manipulation, or Substance Generation, but also Grants the Ability of Transformation like that of a Zoan or Logia tied to a specific concept. Granting the Same Growth in Strength and Power. This was Separate from Any normal Paramecia, where the User could develop a transformation or form to become. With Special Zoans, these Transformations Were Intrinsically Connected, and not technically an Existing Being, Mythical or Otherwise. Some were said to Grant the User the Abilities of Plants Through Transformation, just as Brizmans did
For Brizman, The Freak's, case it was the Power of a Scarecrow. Granting him the Power of the Very Same. Roots, Branches, Wood, Straw, He could both Generate and Become These things. As well as gaining the Appearance and added abilities of a Scarecrow.
Leroy Couldn't Care less about whatever it was that Brizman was Going on about, Merely watching with stoic eyes as the Transformation finished, a Layer of Veins and roots began to grow around Brizman's Face, a hard orange and rigid shell forming over the initial layer, growing and encompassing the Ragged face of the Pirate, before suddenly igniting beneath, revealing the full form of a Jack o'Lantern. Gnarled Teeth and Sharp eyes, illuminated by the fire that leaked from within.
"Behold! The Freakshow!" Declared Brizman before Suddenly Dashing away, Roots connecting to the ground, Brizman Leapt between the Trees in the Clearing! Connecting each jump with a Trail of Roots and Straw! "This will be your end!"
Every bounce between trees was accompanied by a crack of sound as he moved even faster than he had before! Embers and Small puffs of Smoke denoted his movement, far too fast for the Likes of Even Kirk to Properly Follow! And Yet, the Captain simply Stayed where he was. The Laughter of The Freak echoing around "Ska-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!"
In a flash, Brizman burrowed underground! The Force of his movement caused vibrations through the ground! From root to root, side to side! Before suddenly leaping out of the ground! Right in front of Leroy! Jack o'Lantern Illuminated bright! Claws bared out ready to strike at an astonishing when!
Leroy Raised his fist in his Blur of Speed! Knuckles connected with the Side of the Pumpkinhead with such tremendous force that the steel-like shield utterly shattered in an explosion of embers and smoke before connecting with the inner face of Brizman! Flesh against root and rag, with such tremendous wind being knocked up that it was felt and washed over the crew and propagated through the entire Jungle! And even reached the Town of Mock! It was like a thunderclap to them!
Leroy had put so much astonishing force into the Punch, that it knocked Brizman into the Dirt, causing a small crater to form where he landed at the feet of Leroy, the Captain's Muscles flexed and kept in the position of the Follow Through! Teeth Grit!
In the Eyes of Lantis, and the Rest of the Crew. With a Single Blow, Leroy had Dispatched and Utter annihilated a man worth over one hundred million Berry.
As Leroy stood to his feet, Breath ragged. Lantis knew that he could finally rest easy. Knowing that someone like Leroy was in the World…
"Hah…Hah…"
"Holy Shit…" Jeanne Spoke. Hand Bracing her goggles a top of her head before finally moving from her spot up to Leroy and Dezzi.
Brizmans Body laid slump into the cratered earth in front of Leroy. The Crew Sprawled out around the clearing. The Defeated man's body quickly retracted back into himself, roots receding, and Pumpkin deforming to reveal that Brizmans face had a distorted look to it, Face Swollen black, with the Jaw Shattered.
Lantis laid flat against the Grass, Jungle moss serving as an Odd comfort for him as his head felt dizzy. He could see spots in the air as around him unfamiliar faces gathered around him. It was strange, one of the only things he could think of was how dry is mouth felt. The odd thought caused a smile to form across his lips as the Figures all talked between each other. Voices muffled. Then there was that face, a face he'd only just met. Leroy, a soft smile on his face, knew that he was trying to reassure him. He was Dying after all. But oddly enough. Lantis didn't feel sad, or angry. He felt at ease. It certainly helped that the Mink Doctor had dosed him up pretty good. But he was still very much aware. He was thankful for that.
