Luffy Makes His Move

Roronoa Zoro's pupils shrank to pinpoints. At this moment, he finally realized that his strength was still insufficient in the New World.

However, he is not one to back down.

Rather, it is a style of facing difficulties head-on and forging ahead bravely.

Roronoa Zoro chanted, "I will cleave the decadent self of this world in two, Two Sword Style: Iai: Rashomon."

The "Iaijutsu Slash" was performed by the Grade Meito Yubashiri and another sword.

Before use, sheath both swords. When the enemy attacks, the sword will strike silently, without the enemy even seeing how it is drawn.

Speed has always been the defining characteristic of "Iaijutsu Slash".

The Biscuit Soldier was hit again, the powerful force causing Biscuit Soldier to stagger back several steps. However, it was only a few steps.

The Biscuit Soldier swung his sword backhand and slashed at Roronoa Zoro.

Roronoa Zoro's expression changed drastically, and he raised his twin swords in front of him, attempting to block the attack.

"Clang..."

Roronoa Zoro took the hit, but the immense force sent him flying.

"Roronoa Zoro..."

Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and even Law all showed worried expressions.

At the same time, the Biscuit Soldier had no intention of letting Roronoa Zoro go. With a burst of strength from its legs, it charged towards Roronoa Zoro at high speed.

"Rubber..."

Luffy activated his ability, extending his arm and using the recoil from the rubber bands to grab Roronoa Zoro and pull him back to his side.

They evaded the Biscuit Soldier's pursuit.

At this moment, Cracker's face was extremely grim. He turned to look at Charlotte Hachée, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Charlotte Poire... Charlotte Nozet and the others.

With an incredulous look in his eyes, he asked, "You can't even handle these guys?"

He didn't even lift a finger; just one Biscuit Soldier was enough to overwhelm them. With that kind of strength... a whole group couldn't take them down.

That's... that's a disgrace to the entire pirate crew.

Charlotte Hachée and the others looked extremely grim, but this wasn't their fault. After all, they were in a similar situation to Cracker.

If we're going to talk about it, we can only mention the four brothers: Charlotte Snamon, Charlotte Bavarois, Charlotte Snack, Charlotte Opera, Charlotte Counter, Charlotte Cardantz, and Charlotte Cavallette.

How did these guys lose to this group?

The swordsman who just made a move was clearly one of the stronger members of Luffy's crew. Yet, he couldn't even defeat a Biscuit Soldier created by Cracker.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Charlotte Hachée seemed to have a sudden realization and immediately said to Cracker, "Perhaps it's true, as Streusen said, that they have someone in the shadows. Otherwise, with these guys' strength, they wouldn't be able to get this far."

Cracker paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded. At that moment, he felt it made sense.

So he said, "I'll go find this man; these guys are yours."

He glanced at Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, and their group, saying, "If you can't handle these guys, you've wasted your lives."

Cracker's expression and words were nothing short of blatant contempt for Luffy and his crew, as well as Law.

"Asshole..."

How could the hot-blooded Luffy possibly stand it?

However, he also Byakugan. Therefore, he immediately activated Gear Second.

"Gear Second" is a unique technique of "Rubber Man". When activated, Luffy's skin turns bright red and emits steam, as if he has used stimulants.

Luffy uses his feet as pumps to accelerate blood flow and strengthen his body.

Features: Due to the unique nature of his Devil Fruit, Luffy can withstand the extremely high blood pressure brought about by Gear Second. His body, enhanced by Gear Second, allows him to perform extremely fast movements, attacking enemies without their knowledge. The combination of extreme speed and enhanced strength makes Gear Second attacks much more powerful than his normal attacks.

Many people say that Luffy's ability, while seemingly powerful, is actually a result of him expending his own life force in battle...

But regardless.

Even before becoming Nika, this ability was still a remarkably powerful Devil Fruit.

"Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!"

Gear Second version of Gum-Gum Pistol.

Luffy aimed at the enemy with his hand and then quickly punched him. Because Gear Second allows for extremely fast movements, it was as if he was shooting out an air bullet, and the enemy was hit without even realizing it.

If that were the case, it would only be against ordinary enemies. But now, the object of his punch is Cracker's "true form"!

It has to be said that this is very much in line with Luffy's character design.

No matter what he does, he always prefers to go straight for the enemy's strength. The only exception... he has absolutely no feelings for the Empress.

Because of this, he has been criticized by many people. All he does all Tenten is fly around, and he can't even see the two beautiful women, Robin and Nami, who are right next to him.

The empress practically offered herself to him, but he remained completely unmoved. He was already 17 when he went to sea.

He's already a young man, in the prime of his youth. At this age, even the most naive young man will have some curiosity about women.

He simply ignored it.

Moke once wondered if this "rubber" fruit had a castrating effect. Otherwise, why was this guy so clueless?

If he were Luffy...

Robin and Nami are already heavily pregnant, and the Empress probably has to lean against the wall to get out of her room Tenten.

But he's different...

The thread has gone off-topic.

Getting back to the point, Luffy's attack was fast, but it was nothing compared to Cracker's. He simply swung his longsword forward and easily caught the punch.

He turned and left without even glancing at Luffy. In his eyes, such a minor character wasn't worth his time.

Luffy this, Luffy felt deeply humiliated and roared, "Stop right there! We're not done fighting yet!"

"Gum-Gum Jet Gatling!"

The Gear Second version of the Gum-Gum Gatling fires a series of Jet Pistol shots at extremely high speed. Luffy used this move to defeat CP9's Rob Lucci, demonstrating its considerable power.

The target was still Cracker, but Cracker didn't even turn his head.

"Brush..."

At that moment, a figure flashed between the two. It was a tall, thin woman with a long neck; yes, she was Longneck Tribe.

She had long, curly hair and wore a hat that covered her left eye.

He is Charlotte Hachée, one of the four Hachée sisters: Charlotte Amande, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Charlotte Mond, and Charlotte Effilée.

She is also a powerful Swordmaster.

"Brush..."

Her katana was instantly drawn, her eyes fixed on Luffy's incoming fist. Just as the fist was about to strike her, her eyes suddenly lit up.

A slight upturn of the corners of his mouth revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

Luffy shuddered as he saw the scene of his hands being severed.
