The battlefield was a clash of crimson and snow-white: a giant python formed from blazing flames and a majestic lion condensed from icy snow.
Under precise control, both seemed to have been granted life as they continuously tore into each other.
The Crimson Giant Python coiled up its opponent's massive body, its flames relentlessly burning away the ice and snow.
Melted snow dripped onto it with a hiss, rapidly turning into steam.
The white lion opened its savage jaws and bit down viciously, quickly extinguishing the fire serpents swarming around it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their enormous weight carried tremendous force, making the ground quake continuously as white steam instantly filled the battlefield.
A red figure flickered within it as Luffy rode the hawk, darting rapidly through the white mist.
"Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!"
A burst of air blasted the fog apart, and a fist burned red-hot shot out from within.
Smack!
Golden Lion raised his thick arm, opened his palm, blocked the blow, and tightly gripped it. The force of the punch made his body pause in midair.
"Heh heh, young man, you've got some strength."
Luffy couldn't pull his arm back, but he reacted in an instant.
"Gum-Gum Jet Cannon!"
The next moment, borrowing the force of the recoil, he flew toward his opponent and launched his body like a cannonball.
Seeing this, Shiki hurriedly raised his foot and swung out a Flying Slash Attack, chopping down at the incoming figure.
Relying on his powerful core strength and nimble movements, Luffy forcibly twisted his body and narrowly brushed past the slash!
A few strands of black hair drifted down. Without slowing, he rushed forward and struck his opponent's abdomen from below with the sole of his foot.
Bang! Bang!
At the same time, Shiki's heavy punch slammed into his face!
