Strength and Speed

"You want to stop me? You'd better see if you can handle it first."

With a roar, Bασσας charged toward Heckle with immense force.

Bασσας is very tall, around 3.5 meters. In the Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard is 344cm tall, and Doc Q and Van Augur are also very tall, over 3 meters.

Compared to Bασσας, Heckle's nearly two-meter height seems insignificant.

Bασσας approached Heckle and raised his fist to strike Heckle's head.

Heckle did not back down, but instead raised his right arm and struck hard at Bασσας.

boom.

The two fists collided, producing a loud sound. After a brief pause, the shockwaves rapidly spread outwards.

Along with the receding air currents, Heckle also experienced a reversal.

"What immense power."

Heckle threw a punch, felt the force of the feedback, and instantly pushed off with both feet, leaping backward.

Swoosh.

Heckle's backward movement absorbed some of the force, and he landed slowly a dozen meters away, looking rather grim.

The power is too great.

His own Iron Fist were no match for them.

It should be noted that Heckle is extremely confident in his strength. In his normal state, he can lift more than 10,000 kilograms, while in his Iron Fist state, he can deliver a force of more than ten tons.

However, their strength is still inferior to that of their opponent.

"That's all there is to it."

Bασσας laughed and said, cracking his knuckles. He then stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of Heckle, throwing a punch.

Facing the punch, Heckle took a step forward, barely dodging it, and then threw a straight punch.

But in that instant, the opponent swung their elbow inward.

"Not good."

Faced with this attack, Heckle ducked to avoid it, and at the same time threw a punch.

But Bασσας' left hand had already struck down, and Heckle rolled away to dodge again.

The two exchanged blows, with Heckle constantly dodging, not daring to clash with him. Heckler's strength was too great; a rash confrontation would only put Heckler at a disadvantage.

However, despite his agility and movement, Heckle was unable to find an opportunity to attack.

boom.

Heckle found an opening and punched Bασσας.

"You've fallen for their trap."

A sinister smile crept across Bασσας's face as he ignored the punch and slammed his right fist down toward Heckle's head.

"I expected this."

Heckle snorted coldly, tapped Heckle toes, and retreated rapidly.

However, the opponent bent his arm and raised it upwards, his elbow drawing an arc, and a huge Shockwave swept forward.

boom.

Heckle crossed his arms in front of him, and the instant he was hit, his body lightened, he shot backward, and landed slowly.

"He is very strong, and his moves are not simple."

Heckle's face was grim; in terms of strength, the opponent was far greater than him.

Moreover, he is skilled in combat, making good use of punches and elbow strikes.

Their reaction speed is also quite fast.

A direct confrontation would be extremely difficult.

"Death Crash".

But at that moment, Bασσας stomped his feet on the ground and leaped toward Heckle, simultaneously bending his arms and slamming his elbows forward.

boom.

Bασσας appeared where Heckle stood, and the Shockwave emanating from his elbow blasted a fan-shaped mark into the ground in front of him.

However, there was no trace of Heckle.

Shave!

Heckle instantly appeared behind Bασσας and threw a punch.

"In the back."

Upon noticing Heckle's appearance, Bασσας instantly turned around and threw a punch at Heckle.

"You can hit it, but you'll get hurt."

Heckle dared not take the opponent's attack head-on, and his figure disappeared again. With a bang, Bασσας's fist stopped one meter above the ground, and the wind from the punch scattered everywhere.

boom.

The ground caved in a portion of it; the power of that was terrifying.

The next moment, Heckle appeared behind Bασσας and threw a powerful punch.

Bασσας reacted quickly, turning around and throwing a punch at Heckle.

Heckle was still slightly faster, but he dared not take a direct hit from him, since his strength was too great and it would be inappropriate to trade blows.

Heckle cannot be hit, he can only dodge, and as time goes on, Bασσας's counterattacks become faster and faster.

"What's wrong? Come and attack me, why are you dodging?"

Bασσας let out a wild laugh, gripping Heckle's body.

boom.

Bασσας's fist collided with Heckle's fist, and Heckle was forced back again.

"Is it no longer possible?"

Bασσας looked at Heckle with a sinister grin. "Remember my name. I am the champion, Bασσας."

"Yeah?"

Heckle cracked his knuckles and said coldly, "I've pretty much tested your maximum speed. You can use that move now."

What are you saying?

Bασσας looked at Heckle with a puzzled expression.

"Second Stage Soru".

Heckle suddenly appeared behind Bασσας and threw a punch.

"Um?"

Bασσας's expression changed, and he turned around to throw a punch, but with a bang, his fist landed on Heckle's back.

Bασσας shuddered as a sharp pain shot through him. He gritted his teeth and turned to throw a punch, but Heckle had already vanished.

Boom, boom, boom.

Heckle's speed increased rapidly, exceeding Bασσας's reaction time.

"The strength has decreased, but the speed has increased."

Bασσας looked grim, wondering how he could have such speed.

This move is an advanced method developed by Heckle, combining the Shave technique with the Devil Fruit.

The shaving technique he used two weeks ago involved accumulating the power of three stomps and then releasing that power in a burst to reduce his weight to ten kilograms.

Now, he can accumulate the power of four stomps.

Using the accumulated power from four stomps to propel a 10-kilogram body produces a greater explosive force than using ten stomps to propel a 100-kilogram weight.

Of course, because Heckle's leg strength wasn't very strong, his shaving speed was about the same as Kalifa's.

Heckle was very dissatisfied.

So he made an improvement: he used Kilogram Fruit to correct each step.

When you lift your foot, your body weight decreases slightly; when you step down, your body weight increases slightly.

This increases the pedaling speed, reaching ten times in an instant.

Then, by combining this with a final increase in weight followed by a reduction to the extreme, the speed is pushed to its limit.

This ability was referred to by Heckle as the Second Stage Soru.

Of course, the excessive speed made it impossible for Heckle to control the power of his fist, and he was temporarily unable to use the Iron Fist.

However, Heckle's bare-handed strength is also over 10,000 jin, which is quite difficult for the human body to withstand.

Bang, bang, bang.

Bασσας was being beaten like a punching bag, but his strong muscles allowed him to constantly fend off Heckle's attacks.

"So fast."

Van Augur narrowed his eyes upon seeing this; even with his dynamic vision, he could only barely make out his presence.

If things continue like this, Bασσας might lose.

Then I will inevitably be in danger, and I can't continue like this.

"Don't move around."

A voice came from not far away. Van Augur heard the voice and looked away. He had to think of a solution.
