Paper Drawing

Marco: "..."

They had already steered the boat back and happened to see this scene.

Everyone opened their mouths.

Ace, in particular, Kakuzu.

Even a fool could see that Moke was already playing around and wasn't serious at all... However, you can't really blame Moke.

It's not that Luffy is acting recklessly.

He had to go all out when facing Moke. Most importantly, even with all his strength, he was still no match for his opponent.

This guy, on the other hand, goes up one gear at a time.

What do you take Moke for?

For a moment, Ace wondered if he had spoiled his younger brother too much, making him think that everyone in the world was like him and would train with him?

"Call..."

At the same time, Luffy took a deep breath.

He was clearly shocked by Moke's move. He never expected Moke to be so powerful.

It completely overturned his understanding.

"Rumble..."

The next second, their attacks collided fiercely in mid-air. Their powerful forces clashed repeatedly, creating wave after wave of powerful Shockwave that swept across the surrounding area.

Then, he soon discovered...

His opponent's strength far surpassed his own. With each collision, his fist was met with a terrifying counterattack, causing his arm to tremble and even feel numb.

Luffy is single-minded, but he's not stupid.

He knew that if things continued like this, things would get very bad.

He immediately used another exchange of fire to retreat thirty or forty meters. After regaining his footing, he finally got serious.

"Gear Fourth - Boundman!"

"Gear Fourth" is a unique move of the "Rubber Man".

When activated, Luffy first uses Armament Haki to arm his arm, then bites his arm and blows air into it, manipulating a fighting technique called "Muscle Balloon" to compress air into his body, giving him elasticity and a massive size.

Features: "Gear Fourth" is a new technique that Luffy developed during his two years of training to fight against monsters that were as big as monsters, in order to subdue them. In this state, Luffy has a strong, giant body and plenty of elasticity, and can even use the elasticity to fly in the air.

However, once in "Gear Fourth", one cannot stand normally and can only move by bouncing.

Its overall strength has been enhanced, making it faster than Gear Second and stronger in power and defense than Gear Third.

Upon seeing this, Moke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's more like it!"

At the same time, he Shinuchi Luffy in his Boundman form. It has to be said that as the story progresses and the characters improve, Gear First, Second, and Third are no longer as captivating.

Gear Fourth: Boundman is Luffy's signature move.

"Rubber Kong Gun!"

His fist retracted into his body, then, like a compressed spring being released, it shot out. Combined with his own strength... this created the terrifying power of the punch.

This is a technique that Luffy developed based on Bellamy 'Paramecia Spring-Spring Fruit.

It must be said that Luffy possesses exceptional talent in combat and developing his Devil Fruit. He absorbs anything that benefits his strength and Devil Fruit powers through battle, making it his own technique.

Continuously strengthen yourself.

Luffy, however, rushed rapidly through the air to Moke's side.

Facing Luffy's punch, Moke's lips curled into a slight smile. Then, Armament Haki Coating his fist, and he swung it out without hesitation.

"Boom..."

Their fists collided fiercely. This time, Moke didn't hold back... he went all out.

At this moment, Luffy truly realized just how terrifying Moke's power was.

Their fists clashed briefly in mid-air before Luffy was blasted away, only managing to regain his footing a hundred meters away.

At this moment, Luffy's fist was trembling.

A sharp pain was constantly stimulating Luffy's nerves. If it weren't for his ability to be incredibly resilient, his hand bones would definitely have cracked from that punch.

But Luffy is never one to give up easily.

I can't use my hands to attack for the time being, but I can use my legs.

"Rubber Rhino Schneider!"

Luffy kicked off the ground with both legs, rapidly advancing above Moke. He then tucked his legs into his body, continuously increasing the pressure until it reached its maximum. The more powerful he would be when he launched himself outwards.

"Boom..."

After reaching his limit, Luffy's legs shot out like cannonballs, heading straight for Moke's head.

Moke clenched his fist, then swung his arm back, and finally swung it out just as Luffy's feet were about to hit him.

Before their attacks even made direct contact, Luffy as if by a heavy blow and sent flying backward once again.

"Pfft..."

Luffy coughed up a mouthful of blood mid-air.

This time, the injury was much more severe Koby the last. This time, the amount of Armament Haki Emission Moke released was many times greater.

"Luffy..."

Seeing this, Ace, fiercely protective of his brother, panicked and immediately tried to intervene...

But Whitebeard stopped him.

"Pops..."

Ace looked at Whitebeard, his eyes full of confusion.

Whitebeard: "You can't protect him forever... He has his own path to walk. How can he become successful without experiencing some hardships? How can he go higher and further?"

Flower Sword couldn't help but speak up, "Don't worry! Moke's men know their limits. At most, they'll just injure Straw Hat a little and make him suffer. They definitely won't kill him... After all, Pops's still here! He has to give them some face!"

"Diamond" Jozu nodded, then added, "Don't forget he has connections with you, the Straw Hat Crew, and even our Whitebeard Pirates. Besides, he's got other ideas now!"

Ace stopped upon hearing this.

Because whether it's Whitebeard, Flower Sword, or "Diamond" Jozu, what they said makes perfect sense.

At the same time, Moke did not passively retaliate. Instead, he began to take the initiative to attack, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they had already caught up with Luffy, who had been knocked away.

"Rubber King Kong Gun!"

Luffy reacted extremely quickly, launching a counterattack the instant Moke appeared. He used the Rubber King Kong Gun, an enhanced version of the Rubber Kong Gun, further strengthening his arm muscles to unleash his attack.

The moment Moke appeared, he unleashed a barrage of punches.

It must be said that Luffy's Observation Haki has reached a very good level. He can accurately detect Moke, and in Gear Fourth, he is also capable of reacting.

Seeing this, Moke couldn't help but smile and exclaim, "Not bad!"

But the next second, Moke's body underwent a strange change, as if it were a piece of paper fluttering down. Luffy's attacks all missed their mark.
