"Um..."
Bang...
Just as Luo Chen's fist was about to strike, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow sweeping towards him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately withdrew his fist to meet it.
A deafening roar erupted, the fist imprint shattered, and the figure was sent flying backward.
Bang...
The ground trembled and smoke billowed, but before it could dissipate, a figure stood up amidst the smoke.
"What a pity, just one second short, and I could have buried you there forever..."
Luo Chen raised the back of his hand to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, and said with a somewhat regretful expression.
Bang!!
Splash...
The giant snake's head emerged from the rubble, its tongue flicking, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on Luo Chen.
"You really made me suffer a loss, but your luck won't be so good next time..."
After staring for a moment, Jet's enormous snake head spoke in human language, and a strange green mist rose from its head. The bleeding on it had stopped, the wounds had healed, and tiny scales gradually grew back. In no time, it was completely restored, and there was no sign that it had ever been injured.
Sigh~
" King Snake Breath!!"
Puff... Puff... Puff...
The giant snake inhaled a large amount of air once more, and air cannons shot out from its mouth.
"Hmm... Tekkai... Hundred Demolition Fist!!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen threw another punch, unleashing tremendous force.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
With each punch, air Burst, Charge up gusts of air.
Swoosh...
"Ugh... This is bad!!"
Just then, under the cover of the air cannon, Jet's Snake Tail, hidden within, suddenly stabbed towards him with its black tip.
" Armament... Tekkai!!"
Clang!!
Luo Chen's abdomen, which had been falling, instantly glowed, turned black, and Hardening as the Snake Tail attacked.
Buzz~
puff...
Whoosh~ Boom!!
A deafening roar erupted as a powerful force pierced through Luo Chen's body from the tail end, exploding within him. His internal organs were violently Impact, and he vomited blood from his mouth before Extreme Speed to the ground like a wrecked plane.
Sigh~
" True King Snake Wrath!!"
puff...
Jet pressed his advantage, gulping down a large amount of gas, which he then highly concentrated in his stomach before rapidly expelling it.
boom...
The ground cracked open, and thick gray smoke obscured the giant snake's vision, but it still felt it wasn't enough. The snake opened its mouth wide and bit down with its head.
Whoosh... Clang!!
The snake's head shot out at incredible speed, breaking the speed of sound in an instant, and bit down on Luo Chen on the ground with a sharp, piercing screech.
Just then, as Jet's snake head lunged into the thick smoke to bite Luo Chen, it seemed to be suddenly frozen in place, its massive, thick body firmly fixed in mid-air, unable to move.
"You've been pulling out all the stops, it's my turn now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person inside unleashed his aura, clearing away the surrounding dust and revealing a snake head as thick as a Giant's arm and a figure with long wings on its back. Its scales and bones were wrapped around its body like a strong and unbreakable armor, and its whole body was surrounded by blood-red mist. The figure was a demon-like figure about four or five meters tall.
Luo Chen, transformed into the demon god Shura, used both hands to hold down the giant python's jaws, pinning it firmly in place.
"Give me... a crack!!"
Click click...
With that, Luo Chen increased the force in his hand, and the giant python's jaws were slowly torn open, bleeding continuously from the cracks in its mouth.
"Oh no... Snake Molting!!"
Realizing the danger, Jet, whose snake head was being held by Luo Chen's hands, immediately used his Awakening skill, and the skin on his body gradually peeled off.
brush...
call out...
As Luo Chen tore open the giant python's mouth and ripped it in two, a shadow darted out of the python's mouth, and then the snakeskin was torn apart and dropped to the ground.
"Heh, not bad at all. No, I should say you're cunning enough to shed your skin and escape..."
Luo Chen turned to look to the other side, and in the shadows, a smaller giant python with its skin covered in bright red bloodstains appeared in his field of vision. It Jet, who had just escaped Luo Chen's control by molting.
brush...
Jet, who had transformed into a giant python, quickly reverted to his orcish snake -Human-Beast Form. His vertical pupils darted around, his forked tongue flicked out, and then he opened his mouth and spoke.
"This is merely a life-saving technique from the Awakening skills I once mastered; it shouldn't be taken seriously..."
The game has only just begun! Now that you've used your Devil Fruit power, I should do my utmost to finish you off. I'll use my Awakening Technique, unique to Zoan- type Devil Fruits!
" Awakening... King Snake Thrust!!"
call out...
Having said that, Jet's tail glowed black, and it suddenly thrust forward, the snakeskin at the end of its tail shedding as it swiftly struck Luo Chen.
" Armament... Charging Fist!!"
After transforming into Shura, Luo Chen's sensory abilities increased dramatically. Sensing the approaching danger, Hardening his right fist and slammed it forward at high speed.
Bang...
The force of the punch, like Charge, collided with Jet's tail, which was now free of Armament Haki. The punch Burst, the energy rippled outwards, and rings of air rose up, causing a thick layer of smoke to rise from the ground and obscure Jet's vision.
call out...
The next second, a figure burst out of the smoke, its feet skimming across the ground like skateboards, splashing dirt everywhere, and a long trench reappeared.
Sizzle sizzle...
Luo Chen trailed a long Luo Chen on the ground before stopping again.
"How could this be? The power this time is so great! Even transforming into Shura couldn't completely withstand it. Is this the power after Awakening? It's truly exhilarating..."
Even Luo Chen couldn't help but be surprised and amazed; the other party was on a completely different level after Awakening Awakening to before.
If before Awakening Jet was just an average elite-level fighter, only managing to hold his own against Luo Chen for so long thanks to the Zoan's ability to fight harder the longer it went on, then after Awakening, his strength is comparable to Katakuri, Big Mom's strongest Yonko commander, and he can fight Luo Chen to the death.
This made Luo Chen even more excited about this rare person, and his desire to Awakening his own abilities intensified.
"Hmph, naive! Do you really think you can survive against me after I've Awakening? I'll show you what true Awakening is all about!!"
Awakening. King Snake Breath!!
Jet exquisitely controlled every change in himself through his Awakening abilities, as if his Life Return. He then transformed his upper body into a snake and desperately inhaled countless amounts of air, condensing it in his stomach into air cannons that gathered at his mouth.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The giant python in front of him opened its mouth and spat out nearly ten air cannons at once.
"Shave... Shadow Run!!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately used his movement technique to dodge rapidly on the ground.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Air cannons exploded one after another behind him, sending debris flying and creating craters behind him.
call out...
After dodging all the attacks, Luo Chen took a small step and appeared in front of the giant python in the blink of an eye.
" Awakening. King Snake Engulfment!!"
Swoosh...
Upon seeing this, Jet, in his giant python form, opened his mouth wide and swiftly swallowed Luo Chen, who appeared before him.
Glug...
laugh...
A swallow went directly into Luo Chen's stomach. Before Luo Chen could even react, highly corrosive gastric juice dripped down the inner walls of the stomach, trying to dissolve him inside.
laugh...
Stomach acid dripped onto Luo Chen's hand, corroding the scales that were wrapped around it, forming a small blood hole from which bright red blood flowed. However, his body's self-healing ability activated shortly afterward, stopping the bleeding and quickly healing the wound.
"No, if I stay here any longer, he'll dissolve me first. I have to get out of here right now..."
laugh...
laugh...
laugh...
As he spoke, gastric acid dripped from the inner wall of the snake's body again, and soon began to rain down. No matter how much Armament Haki Luo Chen used to resist, it was ineffective against this acid that could dissolve steel.
"Oh~"
Seeing this, he had no choice but to endure the nausea and the corroded wounds on his body, and gather his strength to break through the steel-like inner wall.
