"Magnetic Field Rotation: 50,000 horsepower!" His lack of stamina meant Gray could no longer enter his burst state.
But Gray didn't need to enter his burst state now. All he wanted was to take a beating and use it to push his body and grasp Rokushiki Ogi.
"Imperial Guard Fire Dragon Emperor!" King charged forward with a massive fire dragon, which swept over Gray and Yamato like a streak of light.
"Thunder Bagua!"
Boom!
After a brief clash, Gray and Yamato were sent flying.
Bang!
The two slammed into the ground, leaving a huge crater. They had no time to marvel at the force of King's attack before he came at them again and sent them flying once more.
Again and again, it was like a game of baseball, with Gray and Yamato as the balls.
As his stamina dwindled, Gray's recovery couldn't keep up with the intensity of the fight, and his attacks grew weaker. Yamato had to take over as the main fighter.
So close. I'm so close! He repeated it over and over in his mind, pushing his stamina to the limit and struggling back to his feet again and again.
He didn't know how much time had passed, or what Yamato had said. His consciousness had grown hazy, and only his determination to succeed kept him going.
Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, Gray realized that his will had infused his body. With a mere thought, he could control his flesh and make it do what he wanted.
Instinctively, Gray made his wounds close and his muscles swell and strengthen, just as Zoro had strengthened his arm. His limbs immediately grew a size larger.
"Life Return: Limb Strengthening!" Somehow finding the strength, Gray swung his fist again and charged at King.
"Whew!"
