Indomitable Heart

"Hahaha, tremble, you insect!"

Karl laughed maniacally, as if returning to those glorious days of dominating the seas.

"As you wish!"

Trait Switch!

Indomitable Heart!

A flash of white light flickered across Luo Sa's body and vanished. His originally bright eyes instantly turned dull.

"Hmm? Has your last bit of fighting spirit disappeared as well?"

"Then... allow me to send you on your final journey!"

Karl let out a laugh, stomped on the ground in reverse, and accelerated with both Geppo and Soru, falling like a meteor.

"You're going to die anyway, how about a final gamble?"

Indomitable Heart!

Soru!

Quick Attack!

Luo Sa's gaze sharpened. At this moment, his mind was clear, and all his focus was poured into his feet.

BOOM!

Karl's figure descended, and the violent force instantly shattered the entire deck!

"Captain Karl's Haki!"

"Invincible, invincible!"

The Pirates, as if seeing the outcome, cheered.

"Shut up!"

Karl suddenly roared furiously, his gaze darting around. He could naturally sense that his attack had missed!

Whoosh, whoosh.

On one part of the deck, Luo Sa revealed himself. Although his face showed fatigue, it couldn't hide his excitement.

In that moment of crisis, he had finally perfectly fused Soru and Quick Attack!

"Such speed! To think a mere Marine could achieve this speed with a Devil Fruit! Devil Fruits truly are wondrous things!" Karl licked his lips, a bloodthirsty smile appearing.

SWOOSH!

Karl's figure vanished instantly. He intended to swat this annoying fly to death!

Luo Sa's figure disappeared almost at the same time. His current speed was no longer significantly slower than his opponent's, giving him a glimmer of hope.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

A continuous barrage of collisions rang out. Karl, possessing Observation Haki, could always accurately locate Luo Sa's position, his twin swords striking relentlessly.

BOOM!

With a final clash, their figures abruptly separated.

Only now did the Pirates finally get a chance to see the situation in the arena.

Luo Sa, on the side, was covered in wounds of various sizes, undoubtedly in a sorry state.

And to the astonishment of all the Pirates, their captain was also injured!

"To make me bleed, you're good, very good!"

Karl laughed in rage, lunging forward again. His twin swords glowed with sword light, and he continued to gather power. He intended to finish his opponent with this single move!

"The threat of death? It's truly terrifying, so terrifying!" Luo Sa's nose twitched, and he gradually closed his eyes.

The next moment, Luo Sa's figure moved, his speed actually increasing slightly from before!

This was the trait of Indomitable Heart; the more afraid he was, the faster he would become!

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!

Luo Sa's speed, having increased again, was now comparable to Karl's. At his full speed, even Karl couldn't keep up with him for a moment!

"Hmph, using the power of a Devil Fruit consumes a considerable amount of stamina. Let's see if your stamina is more abundant or if I am stronger!"

Karl, however, was unhurried, like a calm hunter, constantly trailing behind his prey. If the opponent showed any lapse, he would strike with lethal force!

"Hunter and prey?" Luo Sa's lips suddenly curved into a mocking smile!

Suddenly, his figure flickered, and he appeared before Karl's brother, Orr.

"What do you think you're doing? Stop right there!"

Karl's expression finally changed. He vaguely seemed to have guessed what Luo Sa intended to do!

"Die!"

Luo Sa grinned ferociously and, maintaining the Quick Attack, slammed directly into Orr!

The power of Quick Attack, amplified by both Indomitable Heart and Soru, was far more than just 40 points!

Like a rampaging train hitting a pedestrian, Orr was sent flying dozens of meters into the air!

Karl's eyes widened. With a flash, he appeared and caught Orr mid-air.

But by this time, Orr's chest had completely caved in. His internal organs were shattered from the impact. He was undeniably dead!

"Bastard! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Karl went berserk. He put Orr down and desperately chased after the attacker, no longer possessing the composure of a hunter.

Meanwhile, Luo Sa had already plunged into the crowd, charging through them. Pirates were dying left and right!

"Don't come near me! Help! Help! Ah!"

Not a single Pirate could withstand Luo Sa's Quick Attack. They all fell dead on the spot!

"Hoo, with this, all obstacles have been cleared!"

Luo Sa stopped and sniffed the air. Only after sensing no more living beings did he finally smile in satisfaction.

Next, he could properly face off against the berserk beast before him!

"Ahhh! Go die with my brother, you trash!" Karl roared, bringing his sword down fiercely on Luo Sa.

Facing Karl's furious sword strike, Luo Sa no longer ran. The real battle was about to begin!

He frantically channeled the fighting energy within his body, concentrating it in his hands to meet Karl's slash!

Crack!

The two swords struck his arms, emitting a sound like clashing steel!

"Counter Attack Special Move!"

Luo Sa grunted, his hands beginning to absorb the power of the strikes against them.

Then, all that power transformed into an internal force, which he used to counterattack his opponent through his swords!

Feeling the power surge through his sword, Karl's expression shifted slightly. He channeled all his strength to counterattack.

With a dull thud, Karl was sent flying back several meters!

"Die! Die! Die!"

Karl was now like a beast that had lost its mind. Disregarding the injuries sustained from the counterattack, he lunged forward again, bringing his sword down fiercely!

There was no swordsmanship. He had only one thought in his mind: kill the murderer of his brother!

"Counter!"

Luo Sa's eyelids twitched slightly as he used his counterattack skill once more.

Boom!

Karl was once again repelled, taking double the damage!

"Ahhh!"

"Counter!"

"Ahhh!"

"Counter!"

The battle seemed to have become a loop: Karl attacked, Luo Sa absorbed the attack and counterattacked twice as hard!

Karl grew more bloodthirsty with each exchange, letting out unintelligible roars as he continuously swung his swords.

Luo Sa's figure, however, began to sway, his eyes growing unfocused. He had clearly reached his limit.

"Ahahaha, die!"

With Observation Haki, Karl accurately perceived Luo Sa's condition. His laughter grew louder as he put all his strength into a fierce sword strike.

"Here it comes. Success or failure depends on this!"

The unfocused gaze in Luo Sa's eyes suddenly burst with brilliance. He then curled his body inward, shielding his head tightly with his arms.

At the same time, all the normal energy within his body surged out, forming an invisible shield on his body's surface.
