"Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Did you really think you could make me step down with your strength, which is barely at the Vice Admiral level and you haven't even mastered your Haki yet?"
Don't be so naive. Since words won't work, let's use force to persuade you... Shave!
Upon hearing Bege's forceful words, which seemed designed to pressure him into backing down, Luo Chen burst into laughter and responded with disdain.
call out...
After saying that, his body Extreme Speed past like a blur and disappeared before their eyes.
"Hmm, this is the Navy's 'Shave,' but it's many times faster than theirs. You can't keep up with its speed with the naked eye. Everyone be careful, lest you get taken down without warning..."
Bege, having been a powerful gangster in the East, was far more experienced than the others. Seeing Luo Chen's Extreme Speed footsteps disappear from their sight, he knew what he was using and quickly turned back to warn them.
Meanwhile, he unleashed his full firepower, opening countless tiny portals on his body, from which tiny figures emerged, moving cannons and aiming them forward, ready to fire and bombard at any moment.
"Hmph, I know without you saying it... the Age Ring... Surrounding Body Protection!"
Bonney also stood up and used her ability to protect the surrounding area with the Age Ring. Anyone who got close would be corrupted, and children or the elderly would lose their ability to resist.
"... The Demon Subduing Form!!"
Strands of rice sprouted from Hawkins' body, and in a short while, they transformed into a giant Strawman that appeared before everyone.
call out...
"There are too many people here, let's fight outside, otherwise innocent people will get hurt, and the Navy will start pointing fingers... Rankyaku... Crescent Moon!!"
boom...
Just as they were all preparing to deal with Luo Chen's attack, a sound suddenly rang out behind them. Then, a blood-red slash, like Crescent Moon, slashed towards them from behind. Even though the three of them turned around and raised their hands to block at the critical moment, they were still shaken away by the aftershock of the slash and were blasted out of the restaurant.
"Ah..."
Pedestrians both inside and outside cried out in alarm upon seeing this and hurriedly moved away from them.
"Ahem... You didn't manage to defend completely. Truly worthy of being Shichibukai. But this might not be enough to make us obey..."
Bege rose from the dust-filled ruins and looked at Luo Chen with a solemn expression.
He didn't directly block that attack; instead, he used his ability to shrink the incoming slash wave and blast it into the Fortress on his body. However, he also suffered a backlash and was blasted away like everyone else.
"Hehehe, of course, that last attack was just to get you out of there. Did you even use your full strength? If you were defeated so easily, then you pirates hailed as Supernovas would be utterly useless. But from now on, I'm going to unleash my full power. I hope you can hold on a little longer so I can fully enjoy the thrill of battle... Shave!!"
Having said that, he vanished once more, appearing before Bege with a whoosh. His right hand, fingers clasped together, index finger extended, aimed at the Fortress gate on Banji's chest, and Extreme Speed thrust downwards.
" Shigan... Barrage!!"
Bang bang bang...
Luo Chen's finger shot out at a speed that instantly exceeded the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom cloud at the location of his index finger, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing explosions that bombarded out like Gatling fire.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
"Puff..."
The incredibly powerful attack instantly bombarded the small Fortress inside Bege's body. As the bombardment continued, the Fortress on his body was gradually blasted into visible, finger-sized craters. He then coughed up a mouthful of blood, his breath weakened, and his face turned pale as he flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind him and smashing through it.
Rumble...
Pieces of gravel rolled down and buried the area, and smoke and dust rose and spread once again.
"So fast, even Bege didn't react... Hmm, this is bad!!"
Hawkins exclaimed in shock when he saw the gangster Bege being defeated and sent flying by Luo Chen in the blink of an eye.
Just as he was shocked, Luo Chen looked back at his location and then disappeared from the spot with a whoosh. He immediately realized what was wrong and hurriedly grabbed several sharp cones from his waist and stabbed them forward.
Swoosh... Swoosh...
call out!!
"What a pity. Your reaction was good, but your speed was too slow. You can fly now, Rankyaku... Blood Storm Whip!!"
Hawkins' two attacks missed, and then he heard Luo Chen's voice in front of him. Then, all he could see was a blood-red Crescent Moon hooking towards him, whipping up a strong gust of air that instantly swept over him, sending him flying away like Bege crashing into the Vice Admiral and knocking it down.
"Ah..."
Even Bonney couldn't help but cry out in surprise when she saw another person being knocked down.
"Hmm... shave!!"
"Now you're the only one left, fall down now... Tekkai... Demolition Fist!!"
Seeing that there was still one person standing there, Luo Chen used Shave to get in front of Bonney, raised his right hand and used Tekkai, his arm One Flash a cold light like polished metal as he swung it at her.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. I'm a well-known pirate, how could I be so easily defeated? Age Age... Tender!!"
When Bonney heard Luo Chen's disdainful words as he approached her, she instantly jumped up like a cat, activating her senses to the maximum and Extreme Speed pressing her hands forward, surrounded by pale blue halos.
brush...
"Um..."
Luo Chen didn't care about this and directly used his arm to punch her abdomen. However, after his fist passed through the blue light circle, it shrank Extreme Speed, becoming as white and plump as a baby's, and quickly spread throughout his body.
Luo Chen frowned at this, immediately took a step back, and used Armament Haki to wrap the rest of his body to stop the spread of the strange ability.
"Hahaha, how about that? Now that you've taken this hit, let's see what you do! Still dare to look down on us like before? Next, let me think whether I should turn you into a dying old man or a crying baby!!"
When Bonney saw that Luo Chen had actually chosen to evade her attack for the first time, and that his hands had already been hit, and that he was only able to hold on because of his strong suppression, he couldn't help but feel excited and laughed loudly.
"Hmph, it's just a mere Devil Fruit ability; it's no big deal even if I don't suppress it..."
Luo Chen looked at the changes on his arm for a long time, then said with a very indifferent expression.
Having said that, his aura dissipated instantly, and his Armament Haki vanished. In his eyes, these Supernovas were not worth his Haki.
The strange, unrestrained power, like a leech clinging to a bone, instantly spread throughout his body. In no time, Luo Chen transformed into an extremely cute four or five-year-old child. His clothes, too big to fit, fell to the ground. He then wrapped his entire body in Blood Breath -red armor, wearing it, and calmly looked at Bonney.
"Hmm, hahahaha... Idiot, you could have suppressed your abilities, but you gave up now. In that case... the outcome is already decided..."
Bonney was taken aback when she saw Luo Chen release his Haki and allow her power to spread out. She then burst into laughter at him.
Bang... Bang...
At the same moment, a loud tremor rang out on both sides of them, and then Bege and Hawkins appeared beside them, looking slightly disheveled. They were stunned for a moment when they saw the changes in Luo Chen and couldn't react.
