"Itto-ryu·Shishigege!"

Just as Luffy's punches all missed, a figure rapidly approached Wood and unleashed the "Iron-Cutting" technique he had mastered during his battle with Mr. 1, a senior executive of Baroque Works.

"clang------!"

However, this extremely fast Iai Slash had no effect whatsoever... no, it should be said that Zoro stared in astonishment at the Wado Ichimonji in his hand, unable to even draw the sword!

At this moment, Zoro's body remained in the stance of drawing his sword, his thumb gripping the underside of the blade. However, the top of the blade was firmly pressed down by a scabbard that was entirely blue, and the powerful force prevented Zoro from drawing his sword.

"The essence of Iaijutsu is extreme speed; the sword in your hand is already drawn and sheathed the moment before you take a step."

Your swordsmanship is quite commendable, suggesting you come from a prestigious family; however, your speed in drawing your blade needs improvement.

Upon hearing Wood's unfazed comment, Zoro's expression showed a hint of struggle. He then reluctantly let go of the Wado Ichimonji in his hand and instead drew Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri. Using Wood's strength, he completed an aerial spin.

"Dual-wielding - Ox-Demon!"

Zoro's twin swords became like horns, accompanied by the phantom of a bull appearing behind him, leaving two clear slash marks in the air.

However, Wood managed to block both attacks without warning using the scabbard of the Morning Dew.

And before Zoro could make any other move, he felt an indescribable pain suddenly shoot through his chest, and a large spray of blood quickly splattered in front of him.

"Without a doubt, you will definitely become a great swordsman renowned throughout the world in the future, but you are still too green now."

This sword is Morning Dew, one of the twenty-one Great Grade Swords. Although it cannot compare to Hawkeye's Supreme Grade Sword, Yoru, it is equally deadly!

Zoro, who had taken a direct hit from the knife, had a resolute expression and was about to say something, but due to the intense pain, he collapsed to the ground and fell into a coma.

"Green algae head, pull yourself together, you bastard!"

Seeing Zoro, whose vitality was so strong that he could still be lively after taking a blow from Hawkeye head-on, suddenly lose his fighting ability after being hit by a knife, Sanji, who arrived right after, was also shocked.

"Shourou SHOOT!"

Sanji leaped high into the air, his figure suddenly appearing behind Wood. He concentrated all his strength in one leg and then delivered a powerful kick directly to Wood's neck.

Sanji knew Wood was very strong, but the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Sanji didn't believe that Wood could react in time to his swift attack after just taking down Zoro.

Sanji's right foot completed a certain arc rotation in the air, and the resulting gust of wind even broke through the air in front of him.

Just as Sanji was confident that his attack would inflict some injury on Wood, his confident expression quickly froze on his face.

Because in Sanji's line of sight, Wood, who should have been completely unprepared for what was behind him, suddenly grinned and then, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, accurately determined Sanji's location. He then spun around and delivered a powerful uppercut kick!

"I also like to use techniques that involve rotating the body to increase the power and destructive force of a kick."

However, you lack the skill to move in the air; you make too many unnecessary movements, and I am stronger than you!

"boom------!"

One leg is a side kick delivered by rotating the body multiple times in the air, while the other leg is a powerful upper kick that completes a half-circle rotation on the ground.

The moment their feet collided in mid-air, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart instantly, producing a deafening sonic boom.

However, amidst the explosion, a "crack" sound quickly followed, and Sanji's previously solemn expression gradually turned into one of pain.

The so-called "crack" sound naturally came from Sanji's leg. Although everyone displayed impressive kicking skills, Wood and Sanji were simply not on the same level in terms of physical strength and power.

It's like a piece of porcelain colliding with a diamond. In a head-on collision, how can porcelain possibly win against a diamond?

Obviously, a few moments later, Sanji's body flew out at an even faster speed than before, landing on his back and carving a trench tens of meters long in the ground!

"Rubber Rocket Launcher!"

As Luffy kicked Sanji away, he charged toward Wood again. What's absurd is that when he arrived, only his body reached Wood, while his arm remained in place.

Only when Luffy got close enough to Wood did his arm, due to the elastic yet contracting properties of rubber, get pulled by his body, creating a powerful impact that struck Wood's abdomen.

This move was probably Luffy's strongest move in the early stages, and its power was quite remarkable. However, it was completely useless against Wood.

"Six Styles: Iron Body!"

Chapter 321 The Girl Who Transformed into a Mature Woman - Ain

"clang------!"

When Luffy's hands struck Wood's abdomen, a sound like the striking of a bell echoed through the air.

A wisp of white smoke rose from Wood's abdomen, but other than that, Wood was completely unharmed, and didn't even take a step back.

Seeing Wood not only unharmed but also standing motionless, Luffy was truly astonished.

Previously, both Crocodile and Krieg from the East Blue, who was wearing full armor, were clearly blasted away by their own Gum-Gum Bazooka.

However, the same move was completely ineffective against Wood in front of him. Luffy even felt that his attack had hit steel rather than flesh.

"Armor - Rock-Splitting Sky-Shattering!"

Luffy, still bewildered and surprised that his attack had failed, was about to launch a new offensive when he discovered that a black fist was growing larger and larger in front of him.

Seeing the fist closing in, Luffy, realizing he couldn't dodge it any longer, gritted his teeth and threw a punch at Wood's head.

Wood didn't use a knife, but his fists. So, as a rubber man, the effect of physical blows from fists on him should be...

Luffy, who had such thoughts in his mind and was planning to trade injuries with Wood, realized in the next second just how wrong he had been.

Just as Wood's black fist struck Luffy's head first, Luffy's fist could no longer even touch Wood.

Like a fist cast from black iron, it sank into Luffy's face without any resistance. Then, accompanied by a ring of air bursting out, Luffy's entire body was sent flying like a home run!

Luffy, who was sent flying by the punch, flew out at supersonic speed and crashed through a palace wall after flying hundreds of meters. When he landed, he was already dead, his eyes rolled back.

"It seems the battle is over. I don't think it lasted more than a minute, Miss Nami."

Seeing the three Straw Hat Pirates all fall to the ground, Robin looked at Nami beside her and gave her a sweet smile.

As for Nami, she seemed to have been dealt a devastating blow, and knelt down on the ground in despair.

Did the fight just now last more than a minute? Of course not. If it had lasted more than fifty seconds, Nami could have tried to play dirty tricks.

The entire battle, though seemingly intense, was actually quite short, lasting only a little over half a minute.

Moreover, it was Luffy and his two companions who unleashed the storm of attacks, while Wood was almost entirely on the defensive.

Even more alarming, everyone discovered that Wood hadn't left his spot since the start of the battle!

And Wood defeated Luffy and his crew with just one slash, one kick, and one punch!

Nami felt nothing about Luffy and his crew being defeated; what pained her now was that she had just lost a full 1 billion Berries in that battle.

Their captain only has 30 million Berries, which means even if she sold Luffy thirty times, she still wouldn't be able to pay off her gambling debts!

As Usopp placed the three severely injured and unconscious Luffy together, waiting for Chopper's treatment, Wood walked over amidst their panicked expressions.

"Although it was a friendly sparring match, I didn't control my strength well just now and injured them too badly."

To make amends for my mistake and to prevent you from delaying your journey, I will treat their injuries.

"Saint-level Healing Magic - Healing Wind!"

Looking at Luffy and his two companions lined up in front of him, Wood held the hilt of his sword at his waist as a medium, while extending the other hand towards the heavily injured and unconscious Luffy and his two companions.

Immediately afterward, a green breeze carrying incense suddenly blew up from the previously windless environment and enveloped Luffy and his two companions.

Immediately afterward, the people nearby noticed that the fluorescent specks falling from the breeze were landing on Luffy and his crew, and their injuries were being rapidly healed!

Sanji and Luffy's injuries are internal, so they are not yet clearly visible. However, Zoro's chest wound, which was quite shocking before, is now healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Seeing the miraculous scene before them, everyone marveled at the wonder. Chopper, the ship's doctor, looked at Wood with envy, yet he also found it hard to accept.

Wood healed all of Luffy and his companions' injuries with a mere gesture, whereas it would have taken him at least several days to achieve the same therapeutic effect.

Seemingly noticing Chopper's uncomfortable expression, Wood also spoke up to comfort him: "This is not what you call medical skill; I can only treat some external and internal injuries."

"You are a true doctor, and I firmly believe you will become one of the best ship's doctors on the high seas in the future, as they have no effect on diseases like this."

Wood's words first turned Chopper's disappointment into astonishment, and then into wild joy.

Chopper's biggest wish in becoming the ship's doctor was to gain the recognition of others, and Wood was undoubtedly a big shot on the sea in the eyes of the Straw Hat Pirates. His recognition naturally made Chopper even happier.

"So, Wood, what exactly is this power of yours? Is there a Devil Fruit in the world that can heal other people's injuries?"

For most Devil Fruit users, their abilities are a secret, and generally no one would directly ask another what the power of a Devil Fruit is.

Chopper had only asked out of curiosity, but after realizing what he had done, he understood that Wood was not going to answer him.

"There's nothing to hide. This ability, like my previous ability to summon thunderstorms, is actually a form of magical power."

Although most of you probably don't believe it, that's indeed the case.

Cobra, Nami, and the others didn't believe what Wood said, but Usopp and Chopper, whose thought processes were almost identical to Luffy's, did. Their eyes lit up as they kept asking Wood if they could learn powerful magic like him.

"On this point, I may have to disappoint you. Currently, in this world, I am probably the only one who can wield this power."

However, it's not impossible that a second one might emerge in the future.

After returning from the world of "Jobless Reincarnation," Wood naturally tried to see if others could master the power of magic like him.

To this end, he even opened a magic training class in the pirate crew and taught Robin and the others the magic knowledge from the "Mushoku Tensei" world.

Unfortunately, neither Robin nor Ruth could sense the magic in the air, so the training course was eventually abandoned.

At first, Robin and Russo, just like Nami and the others now, didn't believe in "magic" or any supernatural power.

They believed that Wood had unknowingly eaten the Devil Fruit and was then playing them for a fool.
