Absolute Domination, the Straw Hat Pirates' Collapse!
Seeing that Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji had all gotten serious, Feng Lei gave a slight nod.
"That's more like it!"
"If you don't fight for your lives, all you can do is accept your fate!"
Luffy slowly raised his head and looked at Feng Lei with determination.
"I'll never let anyone take my companions away again!"
The moment he finished speaking, Luffy vanished from where he stood.
The next second.
He appeared in front of Feng Lei.
At some point, he had stretched his arms more than ten meters back.
"Gum-Gum Jet Twin Pistols!"
Both arms snapped forward at once, his fists blasting toward Feng Lei's chest from either side!
Bang!
A powerful impact struck Feng Lei's chest, making him slide backward involuntarily.
"Three-Sword Style: Dragon Twister!"
Just then.
Zoro's voice rang out, and as he swung his three swords, the powerful sword pressure created a swirling current of air.
At once.
Feng Lei was blown into the sky.
"Diable Jambe: Concassé!"
Immediately afterward.
Sanji leaped into the air, swiftly twisting his blazing right leg into a downward kick that slammed into Feng Lei with a trail of scorching flames.
Boom!
In an instant, Feng Lei plummeted like a meteor and crashed heavily into the ground.
The tremendous force instantly smashed a deep crater into the ground, sending dust billowing in all directions!
"Yeah! They hit him!"
"That's Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji for you!"
Seeing this, Nami and Chopper cheered.
He saw Luffy and the other two beat Feng Lei so badly that he couldn't fight back.
They've finally dealt with that guy, right?
The next second, however, a figure slowly emerged from the dust.
"How is that possible?"
When the dust cleared, Feng Lei stood before them without a scratch. Nami and Chopper's eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief.
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's expressions grew increasingly grave as well.
They hadn't held back in the slightest just now. Even if those bastards from CP9 had taken those three attacks head-on in succession, they would have been injured at the very least, wouldn't they?
Yet there wasn't a single wound on Feng Lei. Their attacks seemed to have done no more than tickle him!
"If this is all you're capable of, you'd be better off surrendering!"
Feng Lei spoke slowly.
"Otherwise, I won't hold back from here on out!"
"Arrogant bastard, I'm going to send you flying!"
Luffy didn't listen to a word. He flashed in front of Feng Lei again, twisting his arm to build up power before its elasticity snapped it back in a spiraling heavy punch.
"Gum-Gum Jet Bullet!"
"Looks like you haven't realized the gap between us!"
Seeing this, Feng Lei had no intention of holding back either.
"To deal with you, I only need to open one gate!"
As Feng Lei finished speaking, the Opening within him opened, removing the restrictions on his brain and allowing him to use one hundred percent of his physical abilities.
Facing Luffy's heavy punch, Feng Lei didn't hesitate to throw one of his own.
His fist, wreathed in Armament Haki, collided with Luffy's in an instant.
In a flash.
Feng Lei's strength completely overwhelmed Luffy, the immense force of his punch stopping Luffy's arm from spinning.
Feng Lei's fist then drove Luffy's fist back and slammed into his face.
In an instant, Feng Lei's punch caved in Luffy's facial features.
Boom!
Luffy's body shot backward like a cannonball, smashing through several buildings in succession.
"Luffy!!"
Zoro and Sanji paled in shock.
"Damn Marine!"
"Diable Jambe: Mouton Shot!"
This kick contained all of Sanji's strength, enough to shatter steel.
Watching the kick come at him.
Feng Lei remained impassive. In an instant, his eyes changed from black to scarlet, and three Tomoe appeared in each pupil.
As the Sharingan appeared, Sanji's Diable Jambe was copied as well.
"So, is this how it works?"
Under the shocked gazes of Sanji and the others, Feng Lei also raised a leg and spun it at high speed. In just a moment, his foot turned crimson, like a piece of red-hot iron, radiating searing heat.
"Diable Jambe: Mouton Shot!"
Feng Lei unleashed the same kicking technique.
But unlike Sanji's, Feng Lei's kick was far more powerful.
Almost the instant their feet met, Sanji felt as though he had kicked a diamond, and a pain like his bones breaking shot through him!
"Ah!"
Sanji let out a cry of agony.
But before he could react, a crimson right foot rapidly filled his vision and struck him square in the face.
At once, flames erupted!
The terrifying heat distorted Sanji's entire face.
The next instant, his body shot backward just like Luffy's, and he plunged headfirst into the ruins of a house.
"Sanji!!"
Nami and Chopper cried out in horror.
Chopper rushed over to check Sanji's injuries.
A footprint had been burned into one side of Sanji's face. Blood flowed from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, and he was gradually losing consciousness.
Chopper was so frightened that he cried as he treated him.
"Sanji, hang in there!"
"You perverted cook!"
Zoro's heart jolted at the sight of the badly injured Sanji.
His gaze grew extremely grave as he looked at Feng Lei.
How could his opponent use the perverted cook's Diable Jambe?
How had he done it?
More importantly, after learning it, his opponent had used a kicking technique even stronger than Sanji's.
With just one kick, he had completely incapacitated Sanji!
The gap in their strength made it clear they weren't on the same level!
"Damn it, how did someone this terrifying set his sights on us?"
A trace of ruthlessness appeared in Zoro's eyes.
I have no choice but to risk my life!
"Nami! Chopper! Robin!"
He called out their names one by one.
"Zoro?"
All three looked at Zoro.
"Take them and leave. The enemy in front of us isn't someone we can stand against right now!" Zoro said in a low voice. "I'll hold him off!"
"But you..."
Nami was about to speak, but Robin spoke first.
"I understand. Be careful!"
She looked at Nami.
"If we stay here, we'll only be a burden to him. Let's leave the enemy to him!"
"Chopper!"
"I know!"
Chopper hoisted Sanji onto his shoulder, and the three quickly retreated.
"After realizing the gap, you decided to run without hesitation?"
Seeing this, Feng Lei started forward.
Suddenly.
Zoro dashed forward and blocked Feng Lei's path.
"Marine, I'm your opponent!"
With that.
He gripped his sword hilts tightly in both hands and crossed them in front of him.
All of a sudden.
A powerful aura spread out with him at its center. Even the dust seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force, and darkness spread beneath Zoro's feet, as though the sky itself had sunk.
"Ghost Style: Nine-Sword Style: Asura!"
As Zoro chanted, he slowly raised his two swords.
Something bizarre happened.
His swords and arms left afterimages, and two identical heads appeared beside his own.
In just a moment.
Zoro assumed a form with three heads and six arms.
Behind him, the faint image of a massive figure with three heads and six arms also appeared!
"To buy your companions time to escape, you've chosen to stay behind and stop me alone?"
Seeing the look on Zoro's face as he put everything on the line, Feng Lei grew a little more serious.
"To repay your extraordinary courage, I'll grant you despair!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
