Swoosh...
Bang...
In the rapid exchange of blows as both sides used the Shave technique, Lucas was spotted first by Luo Chen and sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ship's mainmast.
call out...
"What's wrong? Is this the power of the god you speak of? Utterly pathetic!! You're far from being able to shave properly. Let me teach you what real shaving is... shave!!"
In One Flash, Luo Chen reappeared before everyone's eyes. He stepped forward, stood in front of Lucas, looked down at him, and spoke calmly.
Then, he used the Shave technique again to attack him at lightning speed.
Click...
Lucas struggled to his feet from the mainmast, laughing loudly despite his injuries.
"Hahaha, that's it! Come on, unleash a few more attacks on me, I can still take it!!"
He stood up as if nothing had happened and loudly provoked Luo Chen.
"Tch, I'll let you have a taste, no rush, Rankyaku... Horizontal Cut!!"
When the sound rang out again, Luo Chen was already beside him, raising his right foot and whipping up a gust of air to sweep fiercely towards his side.
Bang...
Tear...
The air currents stirred up by Luo Chen transformed into a Giant wind blade that Horizontal Cut him away.
Lucas's body was swept away like a sheet of white paper swaying in the wind, his clothes torn to shreds.
Then it crashed into the mast again, the violent impact so great that even the mast couldn't withstand it and collapsed with a crack.
"What level of battle is this...? Our ship was being destroyed as easily as a rotten branch in their fight."
The pirates stared in disbelief at the destruction caused by their battle, their teeth chattering as they spoke.
brush...
" Tekkai Armament... Straight Punch!!"
Luo Chen arrived in front of Lucas again, extended his right fist and unleashed Tekkai, his skin instantly gleaming with a metallic sheen before turning black, and slammed towards him with overwhelming power.
"Hey!! Mian Mian: Absorption!!"
Lucas chuckled, turning the parts of his body that were about to be hit into a sponge, imagining absorbing all the attack as before.
boom...
"Pfft... What is this?! How can I not absorb it?!"
Click...
Just as he transformed his body into a sponge, a fist imprint slammed towards him.
The powerful punch slammed directly into Lucas's chest, blasting him back into his original sponge form, which he could no longer maintain, and he was sent flying backward once again.
"Cough cough, what kind of attack was that? How could I not defend against it? Is it your special ability?"
Lucas stood up from the ruins again, looking at Luo Chen's arm that was glowing with black light with some apprehension, and asked.
"This?! It seems you've been holed up here, never venturing into the wider world. You don't even recognize this? Calling you a frog in a well is too kind of you."
This is a power called Haki in the New World. No matter how invincible a Devil Fruit ability is, it can restrain it. It's an essential ability for the strong in the New World!
Hearing that Lucas, who had been in the Grand Line for decades, didn't even know Haki, Luo Chen was speechless at his ignorance. He shook his head and explained to him, his tone laced with sarcasm.
" Haki, huh? Looks like you really have something that can counter my god-like abilities. But if I don't get hit by it, no matter how powerful that thing is, it'll be useless!"
Lucas wiped the bloodstains from his hand, still maintaining his Haki and arrogant demeanor as he spoke.
"What you say is true, but the question is, can you really avoid it...?"
Whoosh... No sooner had Luo Chen finished speaking than he appeared in front of him again, attacking him once more.
"Hahaha, this is interesting! I was just about to try it out... Sponge-Sponge... Critical Strike!!"
Once again, Lucas did not dodge, choosing to collide head-on with Luo Chen's fist imprint.
boom...
Click!!
Click!!
As their fists clashed fiercely, not only was the surrounding air disturbed by the outward shockwaves, but even the ship beneath their feet teetered precariously in this brutal battle.
At this moment, the wooden planks beneath their feet Crushing Rupture inch by inch, spreading outwards like a spider web. Neither of them knew it, and they were both holding on with all their might.
Bang...
In a daze, it felt as if half a century had passed, as the two were shaken apart by the recoil from their respective Impact.
Tap tap tap...
Luo Chen staggered back three steps before managing to stop himself.
brush...
Lucas, however, lost control of his body and crashed into the ship's storeroom.
The difference in their strength is immediately apparent.
"Is that all the strength you've got? Pirate Lucas... Rankyaku... Crescent Moon!!"
Luo Chen looked at Lucas, whose body was obscured by smoke and dust, and then hooked his foot backward, creating three white wind blades that slashed towards him.
brush...
Lucas, caught in the dust, reacted in the blink of an eye, slamming his hand on the ground so that the reaction force propelled him away from where he had been.
Clang...
Clang...
Clang...
Immediately afterward, the wind blades arrived in an instant, cutting the entire storeroom into four pieces like tofu, and then the wooden planks scattered and hit Lucas.
Bang...
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, I'm getting more and more excited, bring on more attacks like this..."
Lucas, still shouting arrogantly as he broke through the wooden planks, pushed them aside.
"Arrogant, huh? Well then, let me show you my new move..."
Clang...
As Luo Chen spoke, he drew the Rain Burial sword from his waist, gripped the hilt in his hand, and stared intently at him.
" Armament Haki... Armament -- All Things in Creation Slash!!"
After speaking, the sword in Luo Chen's hand once again turned inky black, and then wisps of Red Mist swirled around the blade before he swung it down at Lucas's heart.
Chant... Roar...
boom...
The slash seemed to transform into a dragon in Lucas's eyes, emitting a Dragon Roar's roar. Then it transformed into a Raging Tiger patrolling the forest, letting out a deafening roar, and finally roared as it slammed head-on into Lucas.
"Pfft..."
Lucas was struck as if by a Swift Dash train. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and vomited on the ground. Then, pale-faced, he was thrown into the ship's cabin and crashed from bow to stern before finally coming to a stop.
"Ahem, not bad, that was quite a powerful attack. Any more?"
Lucas struggled to his feet again, coughed a few times while clutching his chest, and then continued his impassioned speech.
call out...
Luo Chen stomped the ground a dozen times in an instant, using the recoil to reappear in front of him, staring intently at his body with a furrowed brow, and said.
"Is he just showing off, or is he truly able to withstand these attacks? If he's just showing off, why is his energy not diminishing at all, but instead becoming even stronger? But if he's not just showing off, how come he's so badly injured?"
Luo Chen could hardly believe his eyes. In his eyes, Lucas was becoming increasingly weak, but in Luo Chen's powerful Observation Haki, his body radiated even more boundless energy, like a sun, exuding a strong life force.
"Hahaha, you've already noticed? Not bad, that's my ability too. Now you'll see what true godhood is all about!!"
When Lucas saw that Luo Chen hesitated and stopped attacking him, he guessed that Luo Chen probably already knew about the changes in his body, so he stopped hiding it and explained with a sinister smile.
" Sponge-Sponge... Expansion... Giant Soldier!!"
Then hundreds of fluffy lines extended from Lucas's body and scattered in all directions.
"What is this...?! The moisture in the air is gradually decreasing, what have you done?!"
Luo Chen saw hundreds of flying catkins shoot out from his body, and then his body Expansion and grew larger as if a large bucket of water had been poured into it.
At this moment, his skin felt dry, and looking at Lucas's gradually Expansion body, he asked him with some speculation.
