An Easy Victory

"Rumble..."

Their fists collided violently, and the power of this collision far surpassed that of the previous ones.

Even the air seemed to vibrate.

And it caused an explosion.

A powerful burst of energy swept across the surroundings, directly impacting Moke and Luffy. However, the two of them didn't seem to care at all about such an energy.

It only made the clothes on the two people rustle loudly in the wind.

However, just because they can withstand it doesn't mean that other people and things can.

Wherever this powerful force passed, the ground shattered and was even swept into the air. This demonstrated just how terrifying the power of their collision was...

Moke's eyes flickered slightly at this moment.

I have to say, Luffy really does have a powerful protagonist's aura!

Unexpectedly, even without Dark King Rayleigh, his strength has increased to such a terrifying level. Especially his Armament Haki...

He glanced subconsciously at Marco, Ace, and Whitebeard.

I imagine these people deserve credit for this.

He wanted to see what Whitebeard and the others had taught this kid.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

Instantly, a terrifying power erupted from Moke's body, sweeping outwards. A large number of black Inazuma- like substances appeared out of thin air in the space, and Luffy was the first to be hit.

Luffy's pupils contracted slightly, and then a terrifying power erupted from his body.

A substance resembling black Inazuma also appeared.

And it collided violently with Moke.

"Rumble..."

The collision became even more intense, a clash of Conqueror's Haki. This amplified the power of their impact.

However, a subtle, enigmatic smile crept onto Moke's lips. He realized that Luffy hadn't mastered the Conqueror's Haki Coating. Of course, Moke wasn't about to be foolish enough to become Luffy's teacher.

The next instant, the ground beneath Luffy's feet turned into a swamp, and the soil in the swamp seemed to come alive.

They started stirring.

They formed into sharp arrows and Luffy in the air.

"Well?"

Luffy's Observation Haki is quite impressive; he immediately detected the anomaly on the ground and looked down, his expression changing drastically. He never expected that while exchanging blows with him...

Moke still has the ability; he can activate his power and launch a second wave of attacks.

"Not good!"

Seeing the dense barrage of mud arrows, Luffy's heart leaped into his throat.

"Drink..."

Luffy roared and unleashed his full power, attempting to force Moke back so he could dodge or block the second wave of attacks.

However, he erupted.

Yet it still didn't budge Moke in the slightest.

"Oh, this..."

This was completely unexpected by Luffy. But it was too late to retaliate.

"Rumble..."

The next second, Luffy was completely enveloped in a rain of mud arrows. Fortunately, these mud arrows were not imbued with Armament Haki, so although their attack power was considerable, they were still somewhat lacking against Gear Fourth Luffy, who was completely covered in Armament Haki.

Even at its worst, it still managed to break the stalemate between Luffy and Moke!

"Bang!"

Moke broke through Luffy's attack, and then all his huge fists slammed into Luffy's body.

Fists and arrows rained down on Luffy.

"Pfft..."

A mouthful of blood spurted from Luffy's mouth, and he was sent flying backward.

"Luffy..."

Ace, standing beside Whitebeard, couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Although it was clear that Moke had held back in his two attacks, they were still Moke's attacks, and even a typical Yonko wouldn't be able to withstand them unscathed.

Although Luffy's strength has grown considerably.

But that's far from enough!

Ace instinctively wanted to rush to his aid, but Whitebeard stopped him. "Straw Hat Luffy will have to go through these things sooner or later if he wants to truly grow up. As his older brother, you can't be by his side every moment. Besides, Moke knows what he's doing. He won't do anything to Straw Hat. So, put your mind at ease and just watch."

Upon hearing this, Ace was truly relieved.

He's not stupid.

It's just that I'm influenced by family ties.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so irrationally.

"Call..."

Ace took a deep breath.

When everything returned to calm, Luffy collapsed a hundred meters away. He was in a terrible state, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth. However, he was still able to struggle to his feet.

"Gum-Gum Jet Culverin!"

Luffy, however, did not give in and launched another attack.

Gum-Gum Jet Culverin is used in the same way as the Culverin, but it is faster than in Boundman mode. Also, like the Culverin, this move will not stop until it hits the target.

Until the opponent is attacked.

"Hehe..."

To Moke, this was just like playing around.

He stood there Fudō, as if waiting for Luffy's attack. And that was exactly what happened; when Luffy's fist came hurtling towards him at a strange, unexpected angle...

To be honest, Luffy's move was quite unique.

Even Observation Haki are very difficult to detect.

In the original story, Doflamingo suffered quite a bit from this move.

However, Moke's Observation Haki is no ordinary Observation Haki. Just as Luffy's fist was about to hit him, he reached out and grabbed Luffy's fist.

Future Sight!

That's right.

When Observation Haki can no longer accurately predict attack locations, Future Sight becomes the trump card for victory.

"How is that possible?"

You know your own moves.

When his wrist was grabbed, Luffy was completely stunned. But the next second, his expression changed, and even his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

Because at this point, Moke had already exerted his strength.

With a sudden yank, Luffy was pulled over by terrifying force, completely unable to resist.

Then, Moke swung his fist out violently.

It slammed heavily into Luffy's stomach.

"Collapse..."

Luffy was blasted away once again.

"Pfft..."

Luffy spat out another mouthful of blood, which turned into Bloody Mist Era in the air.

Rumble...

Luffy was blasted away once again, crashing heavily into a mountain 300 meters away. The force of the impact caused a corner of the mountain to collapse.

Luffy was buried underneath.

This time, Moke used Ryuo and Armament Haki Emission, which directly injured Luffy's internal organs.

Therefore, even someone as resilient as Luffy.

This time, he never stood up again. Buried underground, he remained motionless. Of course, Moke didn't hold back; the injuries were severe, but not fatal to Luffy!

They didn't cripple him.

With Luffy's resilient physique, a good meal will restore him to full health in just a few days.
