I'm backing the entire world of martial arts!

"Oh? Then tell me, what is the mark of a genius?" Borsalino tried to get information out of him.

But that's too obvious.

Luffy had already covered his arms with Armament Haki, and he opened his mouth to bite on them and blew air. This time, it wasn't just a localized swelling, but rather an inflating of his upper body, with only his arms condensing Armament Haki, and steam turning into ribbons that surrounded his body.

Although it is far less cool than Sima Di's fighting style, it is still extremely dazzling.

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the iconic scene "Luffy's Gear Fourth!"! You have received the sign-in reward "Son Goku's Kaioken"!]

----------

"Son Goku's Kaioken": A technique created by King Kai, it's a method that can increase one's fighting power several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time, but it puts a great strain on the body!

----------

Oh?

It was a pleasant surprise.

This gave Emperor Sima even more confidence.

"Emperor, this is the Gear Fourth I developed to defeat you!" Luffy said triumphantly.

"Not bad." Sima Di nodded and said, "But it probably can't last long, right? Then let's test our combat strength quickly."

"You figured it out... Alright, let's go!"

Luffy's gaze sharpened, and with a powerful leap from his thin, springy legs, he shot towards Borsalino like an arrow released from a bow. His right fist was deeply embedded in Borsalino's thick arm, and with a swing, he launched himself towards Borsalino.

"Rubber King Ape Gun!!!"

It looks impressive, but...

Borsalino transformed into a beam of light and easily dodged the punch.

"Boom!"

The ground was blasted into a large crater by the punch; the power was quite impressive.

However, against Borsalino, who can move at high speed at any time, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't hit him.

"Hmph! Then let's see this move!"

Luffy lunged forward again and unleashed his "Gum-Gum King Kong Gun." Borsalino used the same trick to dodge once more, but unexpectedly, Luffy's fist made a sudden turn halfway through the attack and continued to chase after Borsalino.

"Oh? Interesting."

Borsalino once again transformed into a beam of light to dodge, but Luffy's fist once again curved and chased after him.

"This is an attack that cannot be dodged, the Gum-Gum Snake Fist!" Luffy declared confidently.

But is this really the case?

Borsalino seemed to be in high spirits, transforming into a beam of light and dashing around the arena, weaving and intertwining with Luffy's fists, eventually creating a giant rubber net!

Luffy's so-called "unavoidable attack" ultimately failed to hit Borsalino because his arms were not long enough.

“What an interesting ability! I really want to recruit you into my army,” Borsalino exclaimed.

But Luffy heard this as blatant mockery!

"Damn it! I'm going to hit you!"

"Rubber Ape King Crow Cannon!"

He tucked his fists into his arms and then punched wildly forward in one breath, trying to make Borsalino lose his balance by increasing the frequency of his punches.

However, with the speed of light aided by Observation Haki, Luffy's plan was destined to fail.

Borsalino was like a cat playing with a mouse, teasing Luffy to the point of making him jump around, but Luffy couldn't even touch a hair on Borsalino's head.

Luffy was so angry that he screamed!

This feeling of powerlessness, like punches landing on thin air, is incredibly frustrating.

and......

Borsalino's mind was not on Luffy at all; he kept glancing at Sima Di.

"Kacha——"

As a piece of red lotus ice crystal withered and shattered, Sima Di's aura also surged, giving Borsalino an even more dangerous sense of unease.

This kid is gathering his strength!

This might also be why Borsalino didn't rashly take down Luffy, because he wasn't sure if Sima would suddenly attack him during a lull in his attacks!

The situation reached a stalemate.

Until...

Sentomaru arrived with a group of pacifists and surrounded the scene.

"Old man, I'm here to help you!"

Borsalino's expression changed!

"Sentomaru, this opponent isn't suitable as a test subject for the Pacifistas. Go find someone at the auction..."

"Whoosh-"

But Luffy, who had been feeling frustrated for a long time, saw the arrival of new Marines and decisively charged over!

Borsalino immediately tried to stop him, but Sima Di was faster.

He slashed a simple, unadorned blade at Borsalino, who had transformed into light.

next moment!

The light made a right-angle turn halfway through its journey, and knelt down in front of Sima Di, catching the Great Crimson Lotus Hyōrinmaru with its bare hands.

100% chance of catching a blade bare-handed!

Borsalino: "..."

At once......

It was very sudden.

Luffy, who seemed to be constantly being toyed with by Borsalino, sent Sentomaru, who was carrying a giant axe, flying with a single punch. Sentomaru nearly crashed into a tree trunk on Tree Island and was embedded deep inside, his fate unknown.

The pacifists were left staring at Luffy.

"Huh? It's that bear-hat guy from back then, why are there so many of them?" Luffy scratched his head.

But the next moment,

The pacifists just opened their mouths and continued to bombard Luffy with laser beams!

......... . ...

Yes,

Although he was always dodging by turning into light, Borsalino was like a cat playing with a mouse when facing Luffy, but when facing Sima, he became the mouse being played.

Emperor Sima had no way to deal with this.

Borsalino, wielding the Glint-Glint Fruit, is trying to escape. Who can stop him?

but......

It's definitely disgusting!

Users of the Glint-Glint Fruit can mimic baboon calls when using their ability!

"call out--"

"Whoohoo-"

Borsalino slammed on the brakes, covering his mouth in surprise.

Why did he involuntarily cry out?

next moment,

Sima Di's Great Crimson Lotus Hyōrinmaru came, and Borsalino turned into light to escape, but he was already caught by Absolutely ...

“You little rascal, your abilities are really strange,” Borsalino grinned.
