"Gomu Gomu no Spiral Bullet!"
Bang!
The high-speed rotation further strengthened Luffy's punch. Zephyr raised his massive mechanical arm and caught it with ease.
"Hmph. You've got a lot of nerve, making boasts with strength like that."
Zephyr swung his arm, knocking the punch aside. The grinder revealed the pitch-black, menacing muzzle of a gun. "You're still a long way from becoming the Pirate King!"
Rat-tat-tat!!
"Bullets don't work on me!"
A torrent of bullets poured out. With his rubber body, Luffy didn't even try to dodge. He planted his feet and took them head-on.
But the tremendous impact was more than he'd expected. His legs scraped across the deck as he slid backward until he hit the railing.
"Watch out for his weapon! That thing's no joke!"
Lina and Zoro closed in from either side.
"Three Sword Style Demon Slash!"
Armament Haki, dark enough to verge on purple, coiled around Zoro's swords. A flash of dim light, and a sharp slash flew from his blades.
Clang!!
Sparks flew as Zephyr shielded his body behind the mechanical arm. The slash struck it without leaving so much as a mark.
"What the hell is that thing?"
Zoro's expression turned grim. Even steel should have been cleaved by that strike.
While Zephyr was defending himself, Lina circled around to his flank. Air currents coiled around his darkened arm, and his roaring fist slammed mercilessly toward Zephyr's waist.
"Too slow, kid!"
Bang!
A cold glint flashed in Zephyr's eyes. He raised his knee and knocked the punch aside.
Lina lowered his shoulder and drove his strength forward. His arm jerked, and another concentrated shock wave erupted from his fist!
"Breaking Charge Punch Pierce!!"
The pillar-like shock wave tore through the air, carrying his emitted Haki as it struck Zephyr in the abdomen.
Bang!
