Three Yings Battle Lü Bu

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Luffy would occasionally land on the ground, only to bounce back into the air. His upper body was muscular, and his face was ferocious, like a blood-covered monstrous ape king.

It has to be said that Luffy's strange appearance has attracted a lot of attention. Even Zoro couldn't help but be surprised. "It seems that Luffy has developed some amazing abilities in the past two years!"

Boom!

The powerful kinetic energy that Luffy unleashed at that moment almost allowed him to transcend space. To the disbelief of many, he instantly appeared in front of the man in black and slammed down with his heavy palm.

In this Boundman state, Luffy's speed was clearly at its limit, but the man in black was even faster. The moment Luffy's palm slammed into the ground, the man in black appeared in mid-air, his blood-red sword light sending Luffy, tumbling and spinning like a bouncy ball between heaven and earth.

However, Luffy controlled his position and power, constantly accelerating himself in his ball form. Many unlucky people who couldn't avoid him were knocked away by his unconscious impact trajectory, suffering either shattered bones or being crushed into mincemeat.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

In fact, after his own power was amplified and he was "accelerated" by being kicked away by others, even Luffy himself could no longer control the trajectory of the bouncy ball and could only make slight adjustments to its direction.

Many people chose to retreat strategically, fearing being hit by the out-of-control bouncy ball. A large area of the battlefield was instantly cleared, making many people familiar with Luffy sigh, "This guy really is a troublemaker on the battlefield!"

The masked man in black also looked slightly dazed. The guy opposite him had really developed a rather shameless way of attacking. If he didn't attack, he could only choose to run away, but if he attacked, his own power would be converted into kinetic energy by the other party to further accelerate him.

Even Luffy's version of the bouncy ball, which accelerated more than ten times in a row, was not something he dared to easily challenge.

The next moment, a vast expanse of Conqueror's Haki exploded in the void, impacting Luffy's will wave after wave. Under that shocking aura, it seemed as if even spacetime was distorted, and Luffy's bouncy ball state paused for a moment.

The man in black had been waiting for this opportunity, and naturally he wouldn't miss it. His sword flashed like a rainbow, and in the next moment it struck Luffy, causing blood to gush out like it was free.

Luffy crashed to the ground like Starfall, causing a huge commotion. However, the man in black had no intention of giving him a chance to catch his breath and decisively rushed into the dust, ready to end the battle with a single sword strike.

"Oh no! (x2)"

Sabo and Ace, who had been carefully watching Luffy's battle, also rushed into the battlefield instantly. The next moment, an even more dazzling light dispelled the dust.

Luffy, are you alright?

"Be careful, this guy is still holding back!"

Luffy, having exited Gear Fourth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clutched the deep wound on his chest that seemed to expose the bone, saying, "I'm fine, Sabo, Ace, you can go now. This is my battle."

"Idiot, in your current state, anyone could defeat you, let alone that unfathomable monster on the other side!" Ace rebuked him angrily, showing no mercy.

"Now is not the time to show off. If you still want to rescue Sanji and Red Hair, then stay here and recover from your injuries." Sabo instantly seized Luffy's weakness.

Luffy was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, but I will not back down from this battle."

"Whatever you like..."

"Whether it's one piece of trash or three pieces of trash, it makes no difference to me!" Before Sabo could finish speaking, the man in black rang out with his cold words.

"Watch out! (x3)"

The sword light flashed across the sky, dazzling and blinding. Luffy and Luffy two companions all dodged the attack instantly with a backflip, and then seized the opportunity to counterattack.

"Fourth Gear·Great Ape King!"

"Great Flame Commandment!"

"Dragon's Breath!"

A terrifying force exploded in the void, but the man in black was prepared. The moment the three launched their attack, he disappeared into the darkness and reappeared in front of Luffy.

The man in black could naturally see that Luffy was slightly weaker than the other two, and since Luffy was still seriously injured, he was the best choice to break through the encirclement.

"Fourth Gear·Snakeman!"

The man in black casually tilted his head to dodge the attack, and was about to make a quick charge when Luffy's right fist, like a long, winding snake, suddenly launched a curved, spinning attack. Caught off guard, the man in black was blasted away by Luffy for the first time, falling to the ground like a cannonball.

"Fourth Gear·Rubber Black Mamba!"

Luffy clearly had no intention of giving his opponent a chance to breathe. He pulled his hands into his body and then unleashed a burst of energy, pounding the ground like a storm.

However, Luffy was suddenly locked onto by an extremely sharp sword intent from behind, causing his hair to stand on end. His Observation Haki frantically warned him, and without thinking, he released the air compressed within his body, soaring straight into the sky like a jet plane.

Sabo and Ace seized the opportunity to surround and attack, with blazing flames swirling around the dragon-shaped claw mark, resembling a giant dragon spitting fire and burning everything in its path.

The man in black seemed to have been enraged by Luffy's previous attack. He changed his fighting style, abandoned his ghostly speed, and charged directly into the sea of fire.

The next moment, a dazzling sword light flew out from the flames, splitting the sea of fire in two, and then flew towards the two of them with undiminished momentum.

Sabo shielded Ace, extending his jet-black right hand to pulverize the sword's edge.

Ace, on the other hand, gathered the power of the flames, compressing a ball of fire tens of meters in size into a fireball that could be held in the palm of his hand. The intense heat even caused the surrounding space to distort to varying degrees.

As if by telepathy, Sabo grabbed the water pipe and rushed out, while Luffy, falling from the sky, accelerated with the help of gravity. Ace seized the opportunity when the man in black was restrained and threw a high-concentration fireball.

Boom!

The scorching heatwave swept outwards, instantly vaporizing branches, rocks, and gold and jade.

Under the hopeful gazes of Luffy and his companions, the man in black calmly emerged from the flames, unharmed and without even a scratch on his clothes.

"Looks like I should take back what I said before. Three good-for-nothings together are a bit troublesome!"

Everyone who witnessed this scene was secretly shocked.

"Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Portgas D. Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Luffy, the Straw Hat who shone brightly before."

"None of the three of them are weak; they could even rank in the top fifty out of the two hundred and fifty-three spots. Yet, even with all three of them working together, they couldn't achieve anything. Just who is that man in black called Darkness?"
