Bang...
In the exchange between Ryder and Luo Chen, Red swung his cane, which had no blade and could be considered a sword, and a dark red Flying Slash blasted behind Luo Chen.
boom...
"Cough cough, damn it, two people actually ganging up on me, a renowned pirate from all corners of the world, don't they feel ashamed...?"
Luo Chen was violently Flying Slash away by the wave and crashed onto the ice. The ice layer caved in, and even the ice surface, which was as hard as granite, was smashed through, with cracks spreading everywhere.
With a bang, Luo Chen smashed the ice shards that were pressing down on him, stood up, and questioned Red and Vista.
"Hmph, there's no need to provoke me, Shichibukai Luo Chen, like that. You're now an enemy of the Whitebeard Pirates, and you've hurt so many of my comrades. Even if it means abandoning all pretense and joining forces with someone else, I will fight you without hesitation."
Vista snorted coldly. He was very concerned about Luo Chen hurting his companions and did not care at all whether it would damage the reputation of the New World Flower Sword team. He showed no mercy.
"Heh heh heh, so this is the kind of brat you are on this vast ocean. Back in the day, I was also attacked by just as many people and imprisoned in Impel Down. Now I'm just letting you taste the humiliation I suffered back then. If you're really that easy to defeat, then it just means you're nothing special... Crimson Shadow!!"
After saying that, Red raised his cane again and thrust it at Luo Chen's chest. The dark red sword light exploded in the air at supersonic speed, heading straight for his heart.
"Hmph... Since that's how it is, then I won't care about anything else. After all, if I'm dead, what else can I think about?... Six Powers Play Technique... Razor!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he pushed off the ground with his feet, streaking through the air like a series of images, dodging the sword light as he rushed towards Red.
boom...
The sword light exploded behind him, sending ice shards flying.
Swoosh...
"Fall down, Red... Shigan... Spotted!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As Luo Chen rushed forward, he stretched out both arms, his two index fingers wrapped in Armament Haki, Extreme Speed drawing out a dense net of Shigan in the air.
"Hmph, naive..."
Red was utterly disdainful of Luo Chen's attack, and even closed his eyes. As Luo Chen approached, Ryder twisted and moved his body, gracefully and precisely dodging each strike.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
"Damn it, Observation Haki foresee it with their Observation Haki?"
Luo Chen kept firing his fingers, but to no avail. In the less than 0.1 seconds it took to fire each shot, Red had already anticipated his movements and reacted swiftly, dodging each of Luo Chen's Shigan with incredible precision.
This was also the first time Luo Chen had felt both power and helplessness from an enemy, even though Red had not yet recovered to his peak condition and could still look down on him with this.
"Enough with the attacks, it's my turn now... Red Bat!!"
boom...
Red's fist slammed into Luo Chen with a dark red gust of wind.
"Puff!!"
The fist, imbued with Armament Haki, struck him powerfully in the chest. Even he couldn't completely withstand it, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.
"Don't forget I'm here, Luo Chen... Rose Rondo!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Hearing Vista's voice behind him, Luo Chen flew backward and turned his head to look, only to see a Torrent of Rose Flower slashing and crashing down on him.
"Not good!!"
Tear...
boom...
Luo Chen's beast-transformed body had its defenses torn open, revealing deep, bone-revealing wounds, before he fell and crashed onto the ice.
Crack crack... Boom!!
The ice below could not withstand his heavy body and was smashed through, cracks spreading outwards.
"Cough... Damn it, both of them are so strong it's Despair- inducing, how am I supposed to deal with this..."
Luo Chen was not defeated by this. He stretched out his arms and used them to support himself as he sat up. Shaking his aching head, he thought of the two people's terrifying strength and smiled bitterly.
call out...
"I don't have time for you to daydream, Scarlet... Piercing Palm!!"
The sound of air flowing filled the air as Red appeared in front of Luo Chen in the blink of an eye, his right palm, imbued with a blood-red Armament Haki Haki-infused gust of wind, striking Luo Chen's chest.
"Oh no... Tekkai Armament... Black Steel!!"
Clang...
Luo Chen felt a deadly sense of crisis under that palm strike, his skin flashed with a metallic luster, and he quickly turned into a blackened Armament.
Bang...
The next instant, Red's withered hand slammed down, a fierce gust of wind blasting against his chest, the air buzzing and twisting and spreading in a visible way.
Bang...
Luo Chen was still unable to withstand the full force and was blasted away again. At the same time, the Advanced Armament Haki seeped into his body, causing him, who was originally relying on the powerful self-healing ability of the Mythical Zoan to gradually repair the damage on his body, to spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fly backward to crash onto the ice.
"The opportunity has arrived... Die, Luo Chen, the Datura Flower Blooms... the Higan Blossoms!!"
Vista seized the One Flash opportunity, slashing with his twin swords in a cross shape. The sword energy transformed into blooming mandala flowers that drifted towards Luo Chen, who was injured and lying on the ground, still unable to get up.
"Hmm... this is... no good!!"
boom...
As soon as he stood up, he found himself surrounded by blooming flowers. Before he could figure out what was going on, his Observation Haki suddenly changed, causing his expression to change. Then, the flowers bloomed around him, releasing a sharp sword aura that completely enveloped him in a chilling and fierce sword aura.
Hiss... bang!!
Sword energy continuously bloomed and slashed down around Luo Chen, and the entire area where he was located was surrounded by this intense sword energy. The ice surface cracked and shattered, and shards of ice flew up.
Clang!!
Finally, after lasting no more than four or five seconds, the sword energy disappeared, and the ice shards that had been shaken up dripped onto the ground.
clatter...
Vista landed on the ground, his gaze fixed on the spot, his Observation Haki extending outwards to sense whether Luo Chen's presence was still present.
Is he dead?
Vista didn't sense any movement from there and assumed Luo Chen had been killed. Little did he know that not far from him, Red seemed to sense something and cast his gaze upwards, but he didn't say anything to warn him.
call out...
"Dead?! You're dead, but I'm not! You were having a good time cutting me, weren't you? Well then, let me show you what I'm made of! Sword Technique... Shadow Without a Blade!!"
Luo Chen's voice rang out above him as he drew Rain Burial, gripped the hilt with both hands, and fell from the sky, aiming straight for Luo Chen's temple.
Clang...
The sound of a sword being drawn rang out, and a silent, lightning- Extreme Speed sword strike aimed straight for his head.
Vista immediately looked up, gripped his twin swords, and charged forward to meet the attack.
Clang!!
The swords clashed, producing a crisp sound. The tip of Rain Burial's sword rested on the fulcrum of Vista's twin blades, creating ripples of energy.
boom...
Upon the initial clash, Vista felt an immense force emanating from the sword, causing the ice beneath his feet to crack and cave in, with ice blocks neatly arranged like a honeycomb.
"Secret Technique... Storm Shadow Whip!!"
While Luo Chen held Vista firmly in place with both hands, he twisted his lower body and swung his Rankyaku Kick with the Tekkai to powerfully whip down.
"Not good!!"
Vista also felt the intense sense of crisis brought about by this attack, but he had no room to move at all.
Swoosh...
boom!!
As Luo Chen flipped over, he pulled Rain Burial back, gathering all his strength in his heels and Thunderous Stomp onto the blade.
Click click...
boom...
The ice could no longer withstand his attack, and a bottomless crack stretched out, blasting him into it.
Swoosh...
"To prevent you from coming back to cause me trouble... here are a few more moves for you... sword technique... Startled Dragon!!"
Sword technique... Tiger Crouch!!
Chant~
Roar~
The sword energy materialized, and a dragon and a Raging Tiger roared as they charged down, blasting Vista, who was trying to get up, down once again.
