"Hahaha!" Lucky Roux roared with laughter, his hearty laugh echoing across the open plain and drowning out the volcano's rumbling. "Fun! This is so much fun! It's been ages since I enjoyed a spar this much!"
As he spoke, he suddenly hurled a punch at Sanji. Faster and heavier than any of his previous punches, his entire fist coated in pitch-black Armament Haki, it drove straight toward Sanji's face with crushing force-he had finally had enough of playing around and was going to show his real skills and give Sanji a proper fight!
Sanji's pupils contracted sharply. With no time to think, he hurriedly raised his arm. Armament Haki instantly covered the entire limb as he braced it in front of his face-he had to block this punch, or he would suffer a devastating injury in an instant!
Boom!!!
The fist slammed into Sanji's arm, its savage force erupting instantly. His body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, smashing into three enormous slabs of basalt behind him. The hard basalt instantly crumbled to powder under the impact. Finally, his body embedded itself in a fourth rock, which split in two with a crack. Rubble tumbled down, burying most of his body.
"Pfft-" A mouthful of blood spurted from Sanji's lips, staining the rubble before him red. He felt his internal organs churning, and piercing pain shot through his bones. Without even thinking about it, he knew at least five ribs had broken-that force was terrifying, even heavier than he had imagined, as though a mountain had slammed into him.
But he did not give up. He did not fall.
He struggled out of the rubble and wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, a stubborn smile appearing on his face. Germa's Lineage
