Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 435 The Most Unsolvable Divine Evasion

"Seeing your own future?"

"Oh, I see! I understand what Luffy meant!"

Usopp's eyes lit up.
"By using Observation Haki to foresee the future scene of being attacked, one can in turn deduce the opponent's attack route!"

"Hey! Is this really possible?"

Nami exclaimed in surprise, feeling somewhat incredulous.

In such a fast-paced and ever-changing battle, there is no time to think. You can deduce the opponent's attack route just by seeing a brief glimpse of yourself being attacked.

This approach sounds completely unrealistic.

"Usopp is probably right, it is possible."

Reiner suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on Luffy in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Others might not be able to do it, but Luffy is different. Don't forget, that guy's intuition is terrifyingly accurate."

"It's amazing that you could come up with such a method. You really are something else."

Shanks wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, looked up at Luffy, and spoke with a hint of humor, but his heart couldn't help but become serious.

This kid's punches are incredibly powerful; taking a direct hit from the front felt like being hit by Kaido's spiked club.

He doesn't possess a body of steel like Big Mom, nor does he have the super-strong physique of awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit users like Kaido or Luffy.

He couldn't withstand many of those powerful moves. He could manage to parry and block them, but if he took a few solid punches, it would be fatal.

Thinking of this, Shanks' eyes darkened and flashed red light. He activated his Observation Haki to its limit and released his Conqueror's Haki at full power.

A howling wind surged from his body, and his powerful aura rose wildly.

Engaging in a war of attrition with a Zoan-type Awakened being who possesses super-fast regeneration is clearly unwise; he is preparing to unleash his full power for a swift and decisive victory.

Seeing Shanks' stance, Luffy's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed his Haki with all his might, the surging wind and air waves crashing against the surrounding ruins.

"I'm going to get on Luffy."

Shanks swung his arm, his long sword held horizontally beside him, his gaze cold and his aura sharp as a sword.

Luffy, burning with fighting spirit, grinned and clasped his fists together in front of his chest.

"Bring it on, Shanks!"

The two men's domineering auras clashed violently, unleashing countless black lightning bolts that ravaged the earth.

next second.

- Swish!

Shanks vanished from his spot in an instant.

Luffy immediately closed his eyes, his dark mind filled with only a crimson shadow rapidly approaching.

The moment Luffy saw his arms being severed, he froze, his raised hands abruptly stopping in mid-air, and he turned to deliver a whip kick!
"Rubber Rubber - White Whip!!"

Keng! !

A bright flash of light swept past Luffy as he barely dodged Shanks's swift blade with a sidestep, while simultaneously delivering a powerful kick to the blade of the famous sword Griffin.

Shanks had barely revealed himself when he was knocked back by this powerful kick.

"Hit!"

Feeling the touch on his feet, Luffy, with his eyes closed, was overjoyed and quickly clenched his fist to unleash a powerful punch!
"Rubber Rubber - White Comet!!"

As his arm flew rapidly toward the sensed location, it expanded and grew at a visible speed. However, before his fist could land, Shanks' figure vanished again in an instant.

boom! !

The enormous fist landed on the ground like a bouncy jelly, causing ripples to spread across the shaking earth.

"Disappeared again?!"

The sensation in his mind disappeared again. Luffy frowned and withdrew his fist. At that moment, the sound from behind him startled him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly jumped to the side!
Stupid!
"Luffy has revealed a weakness."

Before the words were even finished, the blade pierced the flesh, drawing blood.

Although Luffy had already made an attempt to dodge, it was too late. His upper arm was slashed open by a sharp blade, with a cut several centimeters long that was deep enough to expose the bone!

Using Observation Haki to predict his own movements gave him a chance to break through Shanks' unpredictable swordsmanship.

However, when launching an attack, it's still impossible to predict the opponent's evasion route, and it may even make it easier to expose one's weaknesses. Simply relying on defense and counter-attacks is too passive, and intuition isn't always right; a single wrong move could decide the outcome of the battle.

Relying on his amazing fighting talent, Luffy realized in just a moment that he was still at a disadvantage.

Swish—swish—swish—!
Shanks' figure flickered continuously, so fast that he left several afterimages in the space.

boom! !

Luffy stomped heavily on the ground, causing ripples to spread outwards. He raised his left hand and held it in front of him, while his right hand was clenched into a fist at his chest.

He closed his eyes again, held his breath, and focused all his attention on himself.

Whether we can seize the opportunity depends entirely on the next wave of attacks.

Seeing Luffy standing still while moving at high speed, Shanks immediately understood that Luffy was planning to wait for another opportunity to defend and counterattack.

Although he is usually clumsy, he is exceptionally quick-witted when fighting.

"In this case."

Shanks' gaze turned cold, and a sharp, piercing sword aura and domineering presence rapidly gathered around Griffin.

"coming soon."

Reiner suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on the ground below.

The rapidly escalating momentum on both sides indicates that the duel will soon be decided.

Everyone held their breath, watching nervously.

Suddenly.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and a touch of crimson appeared from Luffy's side!

"Rubber rubber!"

Anticipating an attack from the front, Luffy channeled his long-accumulated Haki into his fist, clenching it tightly and pointing it directly forward.

Sure enough, that crimson figure flashed again, appearing from his side in front of him!

"White.!"

Just as he was about to unleash his fist, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a look of panic.

Black lightning burst forth!

The legendary sword Griffin, imbued with terrifying Conqueror's Haki, combines swordsmanship and Haki to the extreme. With a roar from Shanks, he unleashed a swift and powerful slash!

"God avoids!!!"

——Shhh! !
Amidst the dense black lightning, the blade unleashed a storm! As the slash deflected the fist, the residual force of the sword swept Luffy away in a horrified glance!

Bang-bang-bang!!
Luffy's flying figure was sent flying back over a hundred meters, crashing through several huge stone pillars before finally crashing into the castle with a loud bang.

Boom! !

Amidst the violent tremors, the grand front hall of the long-abandoned palace gradually collapsed, burying Luffy within.

"Luffy!!"

Usopp cried out in alarm and almost jumped off, but Franky caught him on the shoulder in time.

"Wait a minute, Usopp, it's not time yet. Don't worry, Luffy won't die so easily."

Franky thought that Shanks probably wouldn't kill Luffy, but his expression was still extremely solemn.

"Using even this trick, isn't that a bit too much?"

Yasopp murmured, a hint of worry in his eyes. He hadn't expected Shanks to use such a technique on Luffy.

This strike may seem to have a small area of ​​effect, but in reality, all the power is concentrated in one point and explodes. Taking it head-on will definitely not be pleasant.

Combined with the "See and Kill" move, there is virtually no chance of dodging it. It is Shanks' strongest and most unstoppable killing move.

"Even if Luffy gets back up, he won't be able to continue fighting Shanks."

Beckman picked up the half-burnt cigarette butt, poked it on the floor to extinguish it, and said in a detached tone:

"The victory or defeat has been decided."
