Collision of Strength

A battlefield torn apart, chaotic and overturned.

South of Dressrosa, suddenly, a large mountain rose up, casting a huge shadow, and crashed towards a man.

As you can see, at the foot of this mountain, there is a man, his upper body a luminous color, radiating a mesmerizing light in the dim light.

The man was burly, with dark skin and a very large build; his bulging muscles exuded explosive power.

At this moment, he was incredibly strong, lifting a giant mountain that was ten thousand meters in size as if it were nothing. His strength was astonishing.

This man is none other than Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, known as the hardest man in the world. However, despite his hardness, he is also one of the richest people in the world. If the richest man in the world is the Gild Tesoro, then only this man can rival him in terms of wealth.

The Paramecia - Diamond-Diamond Fruit allows the user to transform any part of their body into a transparent, pure diamond. The diamond-transformed part possesses the hardest texture in the world, granting it extremely high defensive and offensive capabilities. This alone is enough to place this man on the shoulders of the times.

The deafening roar and the crashing of mountains sent a tremor through the entire earth.

However, as the smoke and dust flew, Jozu's pupils contracted, and his whole body tensed up instantly.

A figure, as if piercing through space, appeared beside him like a ghost.

The sound of friction, the jet-black whip-like leg, stirred up the air currents.

With a dull thud, Jozu narrowed his eyes. Using his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense Lu's attack. He raised his hand, his entire arm turning a crystalline color, and directly blocked Lu's attack head-on.

After taking a few steps to the side, Jozu felt a strong force coming from his hand. His eyes widened, and he vanished as well, a stark contrast to his muscular physique.

"Puff"

Before he could react, Lu bent over, and a sudden gust of air surged behind him. He coughed up blood, and his face contorted instantly.

"Thump thump," she clutched her stomach with both hands, moving backward repeatedly. Her face was covered in cold sweat. She looked up, somewhat incredulous.

With a "whoosh," like a shimmering ripple, Jozu vanished.

His expression changed as he felt a sharp pain on his right cheek. Without thinking, Lu immediately crouched down, and then ripples appeared in the space in front of him as his figure vanished.

With a "whoosh," he missed. Jozu stood up, his brows furrowed, because he sensed that the path had vanished without warning.

His whole body tensed up, half of Jozu's body turned into diamond, and he unleashed his full Observation Haki. In an instant, a three-dimensional scene appeared in his mind within a radius of ten thousand meters.

"Devil Fruit User." A sense of unease crept into Jozu's mind. He didn't know much about this man, nor did he have any knowledge of him.

With a barely perceptible hiss, Jozu's fist, pitch black, pierced through the air, creating a shockwave.

As the storm swept through, in the nick of time, Jozu used his elbow to pull the object up, without even turning his head, and directly rammed into it.

"Kiss"

Like the sound of bubbles bursting, it appeared and disappeared without a trace, and then the road vanished again.

"A troublesome ability." Jozu clenched his fists, his overflowing power filling him with confidence.

He has never lost a contest of strength against me.

Ghostly apparitions appeared one after another, without any warning, a huge, jet-black foot swept across.

"Bang"

This time the reaction was a bit slow. Jozu's expression changed, and he grunted, tearing a trench in the ground with his bare hands.

A figure appeared, and Jozu's pupils widened, for in his empty space, a cold-faced Lu launched another attack.

"Boom boom"

The ground shook, kicking up a cloud of sand and gravel, and Jozu plummeted straight down.

"Armament Haki Rokuogan"

As the smoke of battle rose, Lu unleashed his trump card. Although it was only a few moves, the person before him was worth his full strength.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and feeling the power contained in those hands, Jozu narrowed his eyes.

Since it was too late to stop it, here you go.

The earth shattered, Jozu's eyes glistened, blood spilled from his mouth, and his entire body withstood the impact.

Clenching his fist, surrounded by Armament Haki and power, and gritting his teeth, Jozu gripped Lu's collar tightly with his left hand, while his right fist, raised high, rapidly swelled, a vein bulging out like a ferocious dragon.

"Not good."

His face paled, and unease began to creep into Lu's calm gaze.

"Shining Punch."

His entire body emanated an eerie aura, and his chest visibly turned black in an instant before being enveloped by a thin layer of luminous substance.

This was a defensive technique that Lu developed by combining his Devil Fruit abilities, Armament Haki, and Tekkai, because he sensed danger and his hair stood on end.

With lightning speed, in the blink of an eye, a fist as large as a mountain, like Meteorite, slammed heavily into Lu's chest.

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath their feet shattered, countless cracks spreading outwards. With a snap, the layer of material covering the road broke apart.

Like the tolling of a morning bell, Lu bent over, blood gushing from his mouth, and his figure flew backward.

The building exploded, houses were pulverized, and a shocking chasm stretched to its end.

Reaching out, Jozu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the dust-splattered area, his expression turning serious.

This man not only possesses speed that even Observation Haki cannot detect, but he is also quite strong. Even he, who just took a direct hit, needed to cough up blood to recover.

Suddenly, Jozu's expression changed. Without thinking, he shifted to the side. At the same time, the ground exploded, and a black foot sank deep into the ground.

His wrist swelled, and a tremendous wave burst forth, as Jozu launched his counterattack.

"Door-Door Fruit - Spin."

A terrifying blast of air erupted, causing the ground to collapse. Lu remained calm, sensing the vibration in the air. He covered his hands with fluorescent light and swirled it outwards.

A terrifying aura erupted as the two faced off, resulting in a horrific explosion.

"Impossible."

A chill ran through Jozu, and his pupils widened. To his naked eye, his right hand began to fold and rotate, like a door folding in half.

"Maximum Wheel - Rokuogan"

With a frosty expression, Lu pressed his advantage, appearing beside Jozu and unleashing a burst of powerful energy.

"Shining Impact."

With a fierce glare and a cold look in his eyes, Jozu leaned forward like a raging bull, half of his body encased in diamond Armament Haki, and charged towards the road.

"Puff"

The rush of blood caused Lu's pupils to widen and fill with bloodshot veins at the moment of impact. He felt as if he had directly collided with a meteorite; not only was it hard, but the impact was so great that he couldn't withstand it and was sent flying.

In a contest of strength, the road was no match at all.

Lying in the ruins, Lu stood up, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and even showing signs of redness and swelling.

Judging from the current situation, if Lu doesn't have the ability, he's no match for Jozu at all.

As the arrow hurtled through the air, Jozu's feet sank deep into the ground, and he was thrown sideways. Perhaps due to the shock, his entire right arm was spinning uncontrollably and completely rendered useless.
