No Title, Let's Call It a Bonus Chapter

It had to be said, Luffy was incredibly talented!

Gear Fourth was activated through Muscle Balloon, inflating his muscles to enlarge his body. By using his skin to maintain Armament Haki, he could retain the properties of rubber even while covered in Armament Haki! This technique was known as Boundman!

Only an oddball like Luffy could have come up with such an absurd technique, right?

However, even powerful techniques had their drawbacks!

Gear Fourth consumed enormous amounts of Armament Haki and stamina. For ten minutes after it ended, he could not use Armament Haki again. During that time, he would enter a weakened state, and his strength would drop drastically!

But Snakeman was different!

The Snakeman form was faster than Bounceman and consumed less energy! It could last for over half an hour!

Against someone as fast as King, Snakeman was undoubtedly the best choice!

"Hm? Not a bad stance!" King slightly bent his body, focusing all his attention on Luffy, whose presence had surged dramatically! He was no fool. He knew that even a lion had to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit, much less when he was facing a super rookie with a higher bounty than his own—the Straw Hat, Monkey D. Luffy!

"Wororororo! Things are lively! The Straw Hat who's been making such a name for himself lately actually came to my territory! What's wrong? Did that 1.5 billion bounty go to your head? Or do you think I won't dare kill you just because you're Ace's little brother?"

A domineering voice came from the sky, and the Straw Hat side's expressions changed abruptly!

As the saying went, even if one had never eaten pork, one had at least seen a pig run! Besides, that distinctive laugh could only belong to that terrifying Four Emperor!
