Three Captains Besiege! Easily One-Shot!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Suddenly, three fierce figures struck from different directions; it was three captain-level pirates launching a surprise attack simultaneously!

The bounties of these three men all ranged between 500 million and 600 million Berries.

Seeing Luo Tian acting so arrogant, they could finally hold back no longer and decided to join forces to completely snuff out this ignorant newcomer.

Whitebeard crossed his arms and commented, "Facing a three-man siege, brute force alone won't cut it. This requires keen Observation Haki to predict and neutralize these chain attacks."

Shiki said, "Gahahahaha... This brat has a decent Devil Fruit ability, but it seems he hasn't mastered Haki at all, right?

Facing attacks imbued with Armament Haki, relying solely on a Devil Fruit will lead to a miserable defeat. This is about to get interesting."

However, what they did not know was that Luo Tian possessed a unique ability called [Spatial Perception].

[Spatial Perception] understands every change in the surrounding environment by sensing subtle fluctuations in space, and it can predict danger from any direction in advance!

Coupled with his nerve fiber conduction speed, which had been enhanced a hundredfold and far exceeded that of an ordinary person, this ability was formidable.

At this moment, Luo Tian's reaction speed had already surpassed that of the vast majority of so-called powerhouses on this sea.

Among the three, a marksman captain skilled in shooting took the lead!

He fired his specialized handgun, and several bullets imbued with Armament Haki shot toward Luo Tian's vital points, such as his brow and heart, at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Luo Tian's eyes narrowed.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

When those bullets were still several meters away from Luo Tian, they seemed to strike an invisible mirror.

Their trajectories suddenly deflected, and they shot back along their original paths toward the captain who had fired them!

[Void Rebound] uses space to form a refractive force field in front of the user, causing incoming attacks to bounce back along their original trajectories!

"What?!" The marksman captain was shocked. Relying on the Observation Haki honed through years of life-and-death battles, he twisted his body violently at the last split second, and the bullets grazed past his ears and ribs.

He broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn it! What kind of bizarre ability is this?!"

However, at that very moment, an irresistible gravitational force instantly locked onto him!

"Argh!" Before he could fully react, his entire body was forcibly dragged toward Luo Tian by a massive suction force!

"No! Save me! This brat is going to use that move he used against Zaosi!" The marksman captain's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called for help from his companions.

The other two captains, a burly man wielding a giant axe and a tall, thin swordsman, immediately charged at Luo Tian from both sides with full force, attempting to force him to abandon his control over their companion.

Facing the pincer attack, Luo Tian stood motionless and whispered in his heart: Spatial Imprisonment!

The next instant, Hum--

An invisible force field suddenly descended!

The two captains who were about to pounce forward suddenly stiffened, frozen in mid-air.

"Damn it, why can't I move?!"

"Quick, unleash your Armament Haki to the maximum! We might be able to break free from this restraint!"

The swordsman captain thought quickly and roared, "After all, Haki reigns supreme over everything; it is the strongest power to counter all Devil Fruit abilities!"

They acted immediately!

The three captains (including the one being pulled by gravity) almost simultaneously unleashed their own Armament Haki to the maximum!

The Haki erupted, attempting to destroy the invisible restraint.

It was effective!

They felt the solidified space around them loosen slightly.

"It's working! Again! Unleash everything!"

The three of them once again poured out their remaining Armament Haki without reservation!

Although doing so consumed a massive amount of Haki and was akin to drinking poison to quench thirst, in this life-or-death moment, it was the only way to escape they could think of!

"Indeed, the rules of this world are absolute. No matter how powerful a Devil Fruit ability is, it will be countered when faced with stronger Haki."

Luo Tian took in this scene and muttered to himself, "Haki... is the true path to kingship!"

"In that case, let's finish one off first." With a thought, Luo Tian suddenly increased the gravitational control on the marksman captain.

"Whoosh--!"

The marksman captain, who was still struggling, suddenly accelerated and flew uncontrollably toward Luo Tian.

His eyes were filled with despair as he futilely tried to raise his Haki-imbued arms to block.

Luo Tian raised his right hand high, a shockwave already condensed on his fist, and then he threw a straight punch with overwhelming force!

Bang!

Crack—

The sound of shattering bone was clearly audible!

The shockwave slammed squarely into the captain's chest, causing it to cave in instantly. His eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as his body flew backward, crashing into the ground where he died on the spot.

"Bastard!" The remaining two captains were struck with terror; their companion's gruesome death left them no time even for anger.

Their top priority was to seize the moment the restraint loosened and break free completely!

"Break for me!" With eyes splitting at the corners, the two squeezed out every ounce of Haki within their bodies.

Once more, and for the final time, they unleashed their strongest Armament Haki to its absolute limit, attempting one last desperate struggle.

Boom!

Under the eruption of Haki, the invisible Spatial Imprisonment surrounding them was truly shattered by their overwhelming power.

But in doing so, they had completely exhausted their reserves of Armament Haki.

Seeing this, Luo Tian chuckled softly, raised his hand, and made a light gripping motion toward them from a distance:

"Spatial Imprisonment!"

Invisible spatial force once again froze the two captains in place.

"No—!!!" The two captains roared in unwilling fury; there was no death in this world more desperate than this.

At the same time, Luo Tian raised his clenched right fist high and punched out in the direction of the two!

[Space Quake] Manipulates space to release shockwaves, causing pulverizing destruction to all surrounding matter!

Crack, crack—Boom!!!

A visible ripple of shockwaves erupted from Luo Tian's fist, spreading outward!

Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch like glass!

The shockwave spread at extreme speed, instantly slamming into the two captains held by Spatial Imprisonment.

"Pfft—!!!"

The two couldn't even manage a full scream, feeling only a destructive force pass through their bodies.

In that moment, their bones and internal organs were all pulverized into dust!

Both men simultaneously spewed blood mixed with chunks of viscera, their bodies flying backward to crash heavily onto the ground, lifeless.

Silence!

A deathly silence!
