"Huff... huff... did I defeat him?"
Luffy rose from Zoro's body as he breathed heavily and asked Zoro and the others.
"... No, I'm afraid not... that guy has stood up again..."
Zoro looked closely and saw a blurry figure stand up again in the dust. At the same time, Luo Chen's clone seemed to receive a command and moved almost simultaneously with the figure in the dust. The two of them leaped up and ran towards Luffy and Nami respectively.
Swoosh...
"Don't let your guard down, I'm not down yet... Tekkai Secret Technique... Vajra Dragon Fist!!"
As they were talking, Luo Chen had already reached Luffy, raised his fist, and in everyone's eyes, it seemed to be accompanied by an unstoppable aura like a divine dragon. He punched Luffy in the stomach.
boom...
"Pfft... Ah!!"
Such extreme speed and immense power were beyond Luffy's ability to keep up, even when Luffy activated Gear Second. With just one punch, he was sent flying backward like a cannonball, as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding truck. He coughed up blood and crashed into the houses behind him, collapsing several tall buildings before finally coming to a stop.
"Um... Luffy!!"
Zoro and Sanji were shocked to see their captain being knocked away. Just as they were about to turn around to defend themselves, another attack from Luo Chen came crashing down on them.
brush...
"Don't rush, it's your turn next. Rankyaku Secret Technique... Storm Reverse Slash!!"
After speaking, Luo Chen turned around and drew a swirling stream of air, transforming it into a Giant storm that contained unparalleled killing intent as it slashed towards him.
"..."
Clang...
Hiss!!
Bang...
Zoro swung his sword just in time, his arms and teeth exerting force, the two clashing fiercely, producing a loud hissing sound and a lot of sparks. After a while, he couldn't withstand it and was also knocked away.
"Damn it... the Diable Jambe's Finishing Touch!!"
Seeing the fate of Zoro and the other two, Sanji was unwilling to suffer the same fate. He spun rapidly, transferring heat to his feet, and then leaped up from the ground, stomping his legs down with tremendous force.
" Shura's Absolute Defense!!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen mobilized the Blood Breath beneath his feet to form a shield in front of him, blocking Sanji's attack.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Crack... Boom...
Finally, under the powerful onslaught of Sanji's Diable Jambe, the shield in front of Luo Chen gradually cracked and eventually shattered. Just then, as he was about to press his advantage and kick Sanji, a large, blood-red hand reached out from the shield and grabbed Sanji's left foot, preventing him from breaking free and leaving him suspended in mid-air.
"Ugh... Damn it, I can't break free... Ugh... Oh no!!"
Sanji struggled with all his might, but it was to no avail. Just then, he caught a glimpse of Luo Chen Luo Chen up from the ruins and leaping into the air towards the two of them. Sanji felt his body being involuntarily slammed towards the direction Luffy was attacking.
"Oh... get out of there, Sanji! Watch my Gear Third rubber... Gum-Gum Giant Pistol!!"
Luffy seemed oblivious to the fact that his companion was already immobilized by Luo Chen. He called out to him anxiously, then blew hard into the back of his hand, inflating it like Balloon until it swung down like a Giant's arm.
"Uh... idiot, didn't you see I was caught and couldn't dodge? Why are you still attacking here..."
Although Sanji couldn't control his body's movement, he loudly explained his situation to Luffy, trying to get him to stop. But how could Luffy perfectly control the Giant arm that had already been swung out? Although Luffy's face showed a panicked expression after hearing Sanji's words, it was already too late. The giant right fist slammed down as expected.
"Oh no... Danger! Sanji!!"
Nami and the others were temporarily entangled by Luo Chen's clones and unable to help. When they saw Sanji being thrown by Luo Chen like a ball into Luffy's Giant Fist, they couldn't help but gasp and exclaim.
"Heh, too late..."
Luo Chen said with a cold smile.
Bang...
"Pfft... Ugh!!"
boom...
Sanji crashed head-on into the Giant Fist. He was hit by a powerful Impact, like a bus crashing into him. His internal organs were instantly subjected to intense pressure, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, his injured and powerless body was thrown like a sandbag and slammed into the ground.
With a deafening roar, the ground where they stood trembled several times, kicking up a large amount of dust. Then the turmoil subsided, leaving behind only a huge, human-shaped crater about four or five meters in diameter, in which Sanji was buried.
Sanji...
Luffy finally managed to control his arm thanks to Sanji's brief block, but he was worried about his crewmate and shouted in a panic.
"Damn it, you bastard, what did you do to my comrades? I'll never forgive you, Luo Chen! Die, rubber... Spiral Gigant Pistol!!"
Huff... Huff...
The wind howled all around, and the air currents were stirred up by Luffy's arm, swirling around his arm as he blasted it towards Luo Chen once again.
Bang...
Tap... Tap... Tap...
"Ahem, so the lecherous cook's been defeated? Well then, we'll avenge him! Demonic Aura Nine-Sword Style... A-Shura Oni Giri!!"
At the same time, Zoro woke up the moment Luffy made his Luffy, only to find that his companion Sanji was gone. He knew that Sanji had been defeated, so he moved forward in sync with Luffy and charged towards him. At the same moment, his aura condensed into a Shura demon shadow similar to Luo Chen, standing behind him and slashing at him.
"Hmm... a pincer attack, huh? That's a good idea. If it succeeds, it might even be able to take me down directly, but whether you can pull it off depends on your abilities..."
boom...
brush...
Luo Chen was attacked from both sides, but there was no sign of panic on his face. He glanced at the two men a few times with a calm and collected expression and then spoke.
"Die...!"
Luffy and Zoro shouted simultaneously, and the attack followed immediately.
" Shura... Hand of the Evil God... Annihilation!"
As the attack drew near, Luo Chen braced himself against the two men with both hands, and the Blood Breath beneath his feet surged once more, transforming into two Giant arms of equal size to meet the attack.
boom...
The moment the three clashed, a massive shockwave erupted, sweeping in all directions. The rubble and sand beneath their feet were hurled into the air, swirling several times before scattering in all directions.
The three men's attacks stalled for a moment, each secretly channeling their strength into their hands, hoping to break through the opponent's defenses and defeat him.
call out...
"It's time to end this. This battle has dragged on long enough; I'm fed up. I'll finish you off with one move..."
Just then, Luo Chen's face gradually showed impatience, and he spoke softly.
Then another surge of immense power emanated from him, coalescing into two blood-red halberds that pierced towards Luffy and Zoro.
"Hmm... no good..."
Pfft...
The two spoke at the same time, but it was to no avail. The two halberds pierced through their defenses and penetrated their abdomens with almost no resistance, spurting out a spray of blood, and then knocked them both down from mid-air.
