"Hehehe, what, is it so strange that I'm an ability user? Just like how many of you Supernovas aren't ability users? Alright, enough testing. Now I'm going to get serious. I hope you can hold on..."
shave!!"
Luo Chen continuously channeled crimson threads from his body, repairing his wounds bit by bit. The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving Hawkins and Bege on the other side visibly alarmed. They began to consider retreating, but Luo Chen would not allow it. After he finished speaking, he took a small step and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, we need to be careful of Hawkins. That guy wasn't going all out against us from the start, but now he seems to have been provoked. If we let our guard down even slightly, we could really die..."
With a sharp bite, Bege snapped the cigar in his mouth and it fell to the ground, but he didn't have time to care. His eyes kept scanning his surroundings as he reminded Hawkins.
"I already know this without you reminding me. No, no matter how we divine, the odds are still zero. But at least we didn't look like we were about to die today, which means he won't kill us now. But we still have to try. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in this Impel Down..."
Hawkins once again pulled out cards to divine their fates, but the results were still bleak, leaving him extremely discouraged. Although the divination indicated that neither of them would die today, he knew what fate awaited them if they lost to Luo Chen now, and he couldn't help but warn Bege.
"Hahahaha, you're right. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a dark and hopeless prison. So let's give it our all! If we win, we'll be famous; if we lose, we'll just have to accept our fate... Castle Castle... Giant Tank!!"
As Bege spoke, he made a desperate gamble, exhausting all his strength to transform his body into a tank Fortress. His arms became Giant cannons pointing forward, and dozens of portals opened on his body, preparing for a life-or-death battle with Luo Chen.
"Hahaha, alright, since there's no turning back anyway, I'll gamble with you. Straw Man Curse... Substitute Sacrifice!!"
Upon hearing this, Hawkins burst into laughter, making the same decision as him. A black power emanated from his body, carrying a slightly eerie aura. Then, eight or nine Strawman emerged from his body, quickly turning black and withering before falling to the ground.
At the same time, as he activated this ability, the clones marked with incantations and curses on various parts of the island underwent mutations almost simultaneously. Strange patterns wrapped around their bodies, and then their bodies seemed to be devoured by something, withering and collapsing with wails.
After the sacrifice, Hawkins ' body became even larger and his aura became even stronger than before.
call out...
"Oh, this is... truly a strange ability. Devil Fruit really peculiar; has it made your aura stronger?"
Very well, then let me test just how strong you are now... Rankyaku... Crescent Moon!!"
Luo Chen stopped when he suddenly saw the changes in them. He carefully observed their transformed appearance and used his Observation Haki to sense their approximate strength. The faint sense of coercion emanating from them surprised and intrigued him even more. He couldn't help but test their current strength, so he pushed off the ground with his left foot and leaped into the air. With his feet moving Extreme Speed, he unleashed three crescent-shaped slashes of varying sizes that flew towards them.
"This kind of attack is completely useless against me!!"
boom...
Hawkins, seeing the two crescent-shaped slashes flying towards him, remained unfazed. He smiled and said, then swung his right hand forward with great force, annihilating the two slashes in front of him. A hissing sound resounded as the Shatter Destruction turned into streams of air that spread outwards.
boom...
Me too...
Bege, standing beside him, also raised his gun and unleashed a fierce blast at the slashing attack in front of him. With a loud explosion, the remaining slash was shattered.
Black smoke obediently rose, and he, transformed into a tank Fortress, seemed to have immense confidence that he could blast the enemy in front of him to smithereens. A smirk appeared on his lips, and he shouted at him with arrogance and coldness.
"Hehehe, is that so? Then let's give it a try, shave!!"
call out...
As Luo Chen spoke, he appeared in front of Bege in the blink of an eye, raised his right fist, and slammed it down on Banji's chest.
Bang...
The blow only left a shallow dent on Bege's body, but the blue energy instantly repaired it.
"Huh... nothing's alright?"
Even Luo Chen was surprised. Although he hadn't used his Haki or gone all out in his attack, he had still used eight-tenths of his strength, yet it had no effect on him at all.
"Heh heh heh heh, don't waste your energy. In this state, I'm invincible, whether in defense or attack... I've withstood your attacks. Now it's my turn. Take my wrath head-on, Tank Annihilation Cannon!!"
After saying that, Bege brought his two large hands together, which transformed into a giant cannon barrel pointing at him. A large amount of power was gathered inside, and then with a loud bang, a beam of lightning shot out from the muzzle and blasted towards Luo Chen.
Bang...
At the critical moment, Luo Chen did not show off. Instead, he immediately used his Blood Breath to condense a shield in front of him, while simultaneously using Tekkai and Haki to reinforce his defense. Then, the lightning cannon struck the shield head-on. The blood-red shield did not last long before shattering and blasting him into the chest, sending him flying.
call out...
"It's not over yet... Strawman's Secret Technique... Deadly Curse Killing Technique!!"
As Luo Chen flew away, Hawkins seized the opportunity and chased after him in One Flash. In mid-air, the sharp cones in his hands, carrying wisps of eerie gas, stabbed down with great force.
Pfft...
The sound of skin being pierced rang out. Luo Chen was unable to stop it and was pierced by the fingertips. Dark cursed gas seeped from his fingers into the wound and entered Luo Chen's body. Faced with such a vicious curse, he could not fully withstand it. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of black blood. His consciousness became somewhat blurred. Then Hawkins seized the opportunity and swept his left hand like a huge whip, sending him flying again.
call out...
boom...
Luo Chen was sent flying backwards, crashing through several buildings before finally coming to a stop, leaving behind a cloud of grayish-white smoke.
"Hmph, this should be the end of it completely!"
The attack they launched placed a greater burden on their bodies, and they dissipated on their own in less than half a minute, transforming back into human form. Their breathing was extremely disordered, and they spoke in a hurried tone.
"I don't know, let me do a divination..."
Hawkins also returned to his original form and carefully began to perform divination once more. However, as soon as he flipped over the card and saw the image inside, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned and ran without hesitation.
"Hey, what's going on? Hawkins, why did you run away...?"
Bege was also confused by Hawkins ' reaction and turned to ask him loudly as he left.
"Hehehe, he ran away because of me..."
Hawkins, who was walking briskly, did not answer his question. Just then, Luo Chen's voice rang in his ear, which made him realize what had happened.
"Damn it, you, you monster, how come you're still alive? Why don't you just lie there quietly?"
Bege turned around in horror and looked at Luo Chen, who was only a few steps away from him, and cried out in alarm.
"Heh, die? How could that be? You lot can't take my life. Since you've used up all your moves, then kneel down and stop bothering me. Vajra... Dragon Fist!!"
Luo Chen incorporated the essence of the Tekkai into his hand, his fist becoming like refined steel forged through countless hammer blows, crashing down with countless blood-red dragons swimming in the sky.
Bang...
"Ugh... Ugh!!"
Thump...
With just one blow, Bege lost consciousness instantly and collapsed to the ground with a thud before he could utter another sound.
